Fareed Zakaria, the CNN host and Newsweek columnist, has returned a prestigious prize to the Anti-Defamation League, another rebuke for the esteemed civil rights group's opposition to an Islamic center near ground zero.
Zakaria, who received the ADL's Hubert Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize five years ago, gave back the honor to ADL for publicly siding "with those urging the relocation" of the center, which would be located near the site of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
"I cannot in good conscience hold onto the award or the honorarium that came with it and am returning both," he said.
It is the latest in a wave of stinging criticism toward the Jewish organization's position from a range of people and groups, including those in the Jewish community, and the ADL said it was "saddened and stunned" by Zakaria's decision.

ADL is STUPID to have given that ANTI_AMERICAN!!
I was not sure what side of the fence he stood on , now I know, the muslim side.
Who cares what that joke dog faced POS does?
Did they check it for a bomb?
Fareed Zakaria? Who ever heard of her?
Another POS that Harmon, the new owner of Newsweek, should fire.
“Fareed Zakaria, the CNN host and Newsweek columnist, has returned a prestigious prize to the Anti-Defamation League, another rebuke for the esteemed civil rights group’s opposition to an Islamic center near ground zero.”
I think the fact that this idiot is still allowed to appear in public without protest is amazing ...
That he’s a “tool” isn’t news. What to monitor is who continues to provide him with cash and a soapbox.
I thought the ADL had backed down
I think the fact that the ADL gave a Newsweak columnist an award says more about the ADL than it says about this “journalist”.
Fareed was born a muslim, and he will die a muslim. Of course he is pro-muslim and anti-jew. Do you expect anything different?
“I think the fact that the ADL gave a Newsweak columnist an award says more about the ADL than it says about this “journalist”.”
Now that is a good point ... the mystery deepens as to why they continue to cozy up to their enemies...
“The mission of the Anti-Defamation League is to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike.”
With friends like Fareed, who need enemas?
Fareed Zakaria...another brain dead Liberal Globalist..and Terrorist Sympathsizer
You have to remember, once you are an Islamofascist (which is a form of behavior) you hate Jews forever.
No surprise at all that he works for CNN and Newsweek.
Fareed the terrorist-lover and America-hater is married to a Jew. I wonder what his hero Bin Laden thinks about that...
Zakaria clearly and relentlessly supported OBAMA before and after his election....And he is also clearly muslim friendly... No surprise!
He came, in France where i live, and made an obama apology a few month ago
