Need help on finding Islamic Sesame Street video

Posted on 10/20/2001 8:35:58 PM PDT by Rightwing Canuck

Hi all. Please excuse this vanity post, but I once saw a link to a video (may have been a RealPlayer link) that was basically about a Sesame Street-type program in the Islamic world that has children talking about jihad and 'drowning infidels in blood,' etc. I was wondering if anyone could post a link to this if they know what I'm talking about. Thanks.

I guess that would explain the Osama-Bert connection then, wouldn't it?

LOL! I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds amazing. I would pay for that footage. Hope you find it, and please post it if you do.

Your best bet is to contact CAMERA, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle Eastern Reporting in America. They publicized and distributed the video (unearthed by another group). The show, BTW is 'The Children`s Club.'

Full disclosure. After seeing the video at a CAMERA conference, I wrote to Disney telling them about the dshow and that their characters were on the walls of the studio (no doubt without permission).

I had to save it to disk and then open it off the hard drive to make it work, but there it is.

Imagine a Jihad oriented 'Romper Room.' I`ve seen the video- children of nine or ten extolling the virtues of becoming a 'suicide martyr' and singing peans to war- as the grownups clap and cheer their performances. It`s not funny. It`s sick.

Here`s some excerpts from 'The Children’s Club' (episodes aired July 2, 1998 & February 8, 1998).

“When I wander into Jerusalem I will become a suicide bomber.”
proclaims a young Palestinian, age nine or ten

“I come here to say that we will throw them to the quiet sea. Occupiers, your day is near, then we will settle our account. We will settle our claims with stones and bullets.”
an 8-year-old boy announces to the child-filled studio audience.

A 10-year-old girl declared that she wanted to “turn into a suicide warrior” in Jerusalem.

“We are ready with our guns; revolution until victory; revolution until victory.” a chant of young boys with arms raised at a rally.

DAMMIT, I just CAN'T get the video to work in my STUPID "RealPlayer" piece of GARBAGE.

I don't doubt that it's sick, but I have a twisted sense of humor. I simply must see some friendly muppet advising a six year old that "In Paradise the martyrs each get seventy virgins to perpetually deflower, and they bathe in the blood of the infidels!"

This is how they raise their kids, and yet they bitch when we're forced to blow up several of the older ones who ambled off to Afghanistan in their postpubescent years. I've given up trying to apply logic to Islamic Fundamentalist "thinking." They circumcise their women. They require no further analysis to fully understand.

Actually the show is less 'Seasame Street' and more 'Romper Room.'

thanks. Got it. I reiterate my previous statement: This is how they raise their kids, then they bitch when we have to blow them up. And are these people ever able to say ANYTHING without repeating it at least three times, or having a throng repeat it for them?

If it's one's greatest desire to be martyred, or to have one's children martyred, then I have little sympathy, either for the dead child, or their "grieving" family.

Works fine for me.

There have been many versions of RealPlayer through the years, the one on your computer may be too old to play the clip (which is well worth watching).

Go to http://www.realplayer.com and download the latest copy of RealPlayer 8.0, that's what I used and it plays just fine.

(I set up that HTML link to go straight to their "download the free player" page -- they purposely make it hard to find from their main page, since they'd rather you bought the non-free version.)

wait, I get it now - they don't bitch because their children get killed; they openly embrace suicide bombers. They bitch when their kids get killed without taking several Americans or Israelis with them. THAT'S when they take offense.

We're fortunate that Generation Y dwarfs the Baby Boom. With that kind of talent pool, we're going to have a lot of exceptional servicepeople - and we're likely to need them, against this automatonic horde of walking Kamikazes. Divine Providence, I suppose.

Thanks, I got it to work by downloading the file to the local drive. I still maintain that RealPlayer is a piece of garbage, however. It's basically just an ad platform, with the actual media being incidental, at best.

Agreed. Its just a pain that so much content on the web requires it.

I think the "Real" people actually invented audio streaming. MicroSoft ripped off their idea(MediaPlayer)and now probably does what it can to make sure RealPlayer won't work very well with Windose XX.

Whatever, just keep supporting MicroSoft sheeple.
