I can hardly wait until every child of a Liberal, Muslim loving parent is forced to face Mecca and pray to Alah 5 times a day. 

I don’t know what to make of this, I really don’t. 

What happened to free market? ahhh

Free market is allowed as long as the news station parrot what the Govt. wants, but how do you explain a scenario where the competition is not allowed to enter the market. Shameful. 

Political Correctness has run amok in New York.

I wonder, were you this upset when the White House “declared war” on FOX News?  Nah… I know, different situation then.  Funny how these things play out.

 COME NOW SKYFET! YOU KNOW REPUBLICAN/TEAPUBLICANS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN USE AND ABUSE RELIGION!  ALL THE WHILE BEING WRAPPED IN THE AMERICAN FLAG! ONLY THEY ARE ALLOWED TO FORCE THEIR CHILDREN TO PRAY TO A PLASTIC JESUS!

Fox is an existing company. AlJazera is not even give a chance. Thanks to Bush and his cronies for their paranoia.

This is insane! Eric Holder is going after Rupert Murdoch, News Corp and Fox News Channel, because of the White House’s “war on Fox,” yet AL-JAZEERA is launching a television station in New York and plans a CHILDREN’S CHANNEL! 

He who does not learn from history is DOOMED to repeat it. 

No one declared “war” on Faux News. In fact, the Bushies BOMBED Al Jazeera twice. I live in New York, I am American, and I want to watch this. This is MY FREEDOM. Those opposed can move to England. 

By the way Joker, if you must be a religious bigot? You could at least spell the Allah correctly. Its not much effort. 

At least Muslims and Muslim loving Liberals will now get the propaganda delivered to them right at home.

Hopefully Americans will also wake up one morning and realize that Sharia Law has been accepted as an alternative judicial system in some States, and it spreads quickly as most Muslim are good at spreading their peaceful Islamic ideology than any other religion.

France cannot control their situation any more: http://youtu.be/MoJR2ZT7uNE

you ignorant bagger. you PROBABLY arent aware of the Saudi ownership in your favorite television channel either. 

http://www.politico.com/blogs/onmedia/0810/Fox_the_prince_and_the_mosque.html

Really?  Because Al Jazera has been around for quite a while.  Perhaps not the American version… but the main station has been around.

I wonder, were you and the rest so accepting when FOX Business came around?

Oh, I was aware.  I just don’t think it really matters.

Of course, to the far-left, they’re allowed to be bigots against anyone who doesn’t follow them.  So this Saudi guy is all kinds of bad… right?  Why not throw some racist insults at him.  I’m sure you want to.

Wrong.

Over the weekend, White House communications director Anita Dunn
announced the official beginning of the Obama administration’s war with
Fox News. Of course, the battle has been openly brewing for months now.
Even during the campaign, Obama’s team gave up on sending surrogates to
the network. “It was beyond diminishing returns,” Dunn told the New York Times.
“It was no returns.” But now the war is out in the open. “We’re going
to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” she told the paper.

Except, of course, Al Jazeera English is actually more objective in news delivery than FOX “News” and MSNBC. I’ve watched it when I have been traveling in Europe and the Middle East. Largely, out of curiosity …. By the krappy media standards we have today, it’s not bad.

Exactly what lesson from history is being ignored here?  Freedom of the press?

BTW, the actual quote I think you are referring to is, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to fulfill it.”

Why is there  fear about this channel? It’s like  BBC but 10 times more boring.

Does Hugo Chavez have a television channel? Let’s get him on NY television 24-7. Also, I’m sure Fidel Castro would be happy to have his own channel. Or, what about the generals in charge of Burma?

How’s that “freedom revolution” in Egypt working out for you on the Left, now? Hmmmmm?

Another leftist, pro-muslim, anti-american, anti-israel, news outlet?  Well………..okay.

Shrillary cankle’s favorite news station, now in New York. 

An al-jiz greatest hit.  Throwing a birthday party for Samir Kuntar.

*clap clap standing ovation*

You are fighting a loss cause. GW and his cohorts went out of their way to make sure Aljazera doesn’t come on air. Do you see it on your Comcast or any other carrier? 

Comparing this to Fox is stupid and lame, I expect more from ya. 

Duh! Your cohorts did that in the first post, and to him is the aim of our reply. Which means you are defending his bigotry. 

That’s not how the statement goes and you using it for this purpose is kinda lame. 

Does that equal having your station bombed and your reporters killed? 

War on Fox is really a war indeed. 

Does that equal having your station bombed and your reporters killed? 

War on Fox is really a war indeed. 

So… let me see if I understand you correctly.  It’s stupid to compare the situation to FOX, because despite the left’s constant attempts to get FNC off the air… it’s different?  Sure… clear as mud.

And I wasn’t aware that GW still had pull over at Comcast or any of the other networks.  Who knew that he had so much influence.  Yeesh.

How am I defending bigotry?  Like I said, it’s okay (to you guys) to be bigoted towards someone who doesn’t advance your causes… so attacking the Saudi Prince (or whatever) is fine.  Criticizing AJ is racist, though.

Do I have your double standard correct?

Oh, and for the record… I think any racism or bigotry is a problem.

What was Al Jazeera America bombed, or had their reporters killed?

Unn, You are pulling my legs. So had Fox stations been blown in a foreign land whilst they have a public feud with the Govt. You’d think its just an accident? Wow, would be amazed if you actually buy the stuff coming from ya.

So in your opinion its ok what the first guy said, but responding to his ignorance is bigotry. Keep digging, I’d help ya while u are at it.

Nah off course you were unaware of the shenanigans to not allow then on the stock market and making people who do not accept them as un-American.

The white house press room already has a front row seat for Al Jazera. The liberals can now cheer at there TV’s every time this station mocks America and tell the world how bad america is from the front row…. Its a free country and if they can get enough liberal idiots to watch them…. go for it!

Didnt you know ImNotBlue… Fox News  believes this is a good country. That is against all the beliefs of the left. 
Al Jazera is hope for them to criticize America and blame all the world problems on us instead of seeing what our country has done good! This is why Skyfet and the other complete morons like him are always attacking personally and with such anger Fox,tea party and any conservative woman out there. They don’t believe in freedom unless its something they agree with!

It certainly is your right and no-one should be able to take that from you….  It was also the right of millions of Americans to watch Glenn Beck each weekday afternoon..  But the left was not content to allow them to do so..  they felt that people should not be allowed to hear what Glenn had to say..  So they used the vast resources of George Soros and his many different agencies to protest and threaten Becks advertisers to withdraw their support of Beck and then applied constant pressure to Fox..  I wonder if the Tea Party will soon decide to turn a little bit of their attention to returning the favor to MSNBC or the Time Warners of the world as the Tea Party represents a decidely large block of the American Populus..  Lucky for you lefties is that the Tea Party types truly believe in free speech and are not afraid of the words of the left leaning loons on MSNBC or Al Jazeera or for that matter RT TV..   They may not like them, they may talk a lot of Sh*t about them, but they will tolerate them.

Hugo now has all the stations in Venezuela in a manner of speaking, they have to broadcast his proproganda in the interest of their social contract with the people of Venezuela, he also nationalized or simply shut down any who presented an oposing view to his politics.  He took the largest broadcaster in the nation, siezed their assets and converted them to State run TV.

Our FCC diversity Cazr is on record stating his admiration of Chavez and the way he approached the media and media messaging in Venezuela.

Who cares and who the heck needs them.

I recently saw footage of similar prayers in the streets of New York where streets become shut down in different areas of the city as muslims take them over for prayer, making them impassable and unaccessible to anyone needing to travel them.

Well, HIllary loves them, so she should be happy.

Shame it didn’t come earlier to the USA, but that’s partly due to some bigots who clearly are well represented among these comments made here. Hopefully Al-Jazeera will provide good coverage on things happening in the middle east or arab world, like with the Egypt revolution, where they clearly were the best news channel by far reporting on that story.

You’ve never watched Al Jazeera, have you?

You need to go back to whatever man told you that and tell him that he’s wrong.

Do you ever check out what I say before telling me I lied?  No need to answer, since it’s obviously you don’t.  The MAN that said it was the manish Hillary Clinton.

THE FOX ENTERTAINMENT CHANNEL HAS A FRONT ROW SEAT! EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL TO SPEW!

Unfortunetly, I don’t live in NYC. I watch Al Jazeera English online all the time. There coverage of the Arab Spring, human rights, and global geopolitics has been spot on. Only NPR can rival AJE in terms of quality journalism.

So, now you’re trying to tell us you have spoken with Hillary!? I have my doubts. You read or heard what some man said about Hillary! or what some man says Hillary! said.

Excellent! More information is always a great thing, and their Middle East coverage is always superior to anything our conservative corporate media is allowed to broadcast.

I for one can’t wait for the “Death to America hour.” This is good though, all I have is BBC and CBC. I need more agenda driven/bias international perspectives. Now all I need is an Israeli network and whatever the hell they brainwash the Chinese with.

In Jamaica we have had Al Jazeera as a viewing option for a few years now.
I find it to be top class- a little below BBC but ahead of CNN on non American issues.
If

I think you miss the point about about Al Jazeera.  Like a Hydra, Islam is a creature with many heads and each is venomous.

There is NOTHING benign or benevolent about anything born of Islam!

Purveyor

al jazeera is unquestionably the most professional, most informative media that you can find in the usa. it is head and shoulders above any usa media. i doubt the people who are condemning it have ever watched it. they are probably afraid of terrorist brainwashing. it is nothing like that. AJE journalists, unlike american journalists, actually go out and investigate and present information in a far less biased, far more in depth fashion than american news. the venerable new york times looks like a 5th grader’s paraphrase of an outdated children’s encyclopedia by comparison. it is only americans’ loss that AJE isnt on every cable channel across the country as we are missing out on a lot of info that affects us but goes unreported here. its a shame that the best reporting on america comes not from america but from AJE; but most americans may not be up to the quality of their reports which do not dumb things down to absolute moron infotainment. 

Former chief intelligence officer of the Israel Prisions Service says Haran and his daughter were killed by friendly fire In an article published in Ha’aretz in April 2009, Dr. Zvi Sela, who, from the mid-1970s until the end of the 1990s, held a variety of positions with the Israel Police, including chief of detectives in the Sharon District, head of intelligence-gathering at national headquarters, commander of an intelligence officers’ course, drugs and intelligence advisor to the minister of police, and chief of police in Hadera. His last position with the police (1995-1998) was as chief intelligence officer of the Israel Prisons Service, in which capacity Sela was in charge of collecting criminal and security information. For example, he held two-hour weekly meetings over a three-year period with Sheikh Ahmed Yassin when the Hamas founder was incarcerated in Israel.
He also met with Samir Kuntar. Sela said:
“We turned Kuntar into God-knows-what – the murderer of Danny Haran and his daughter, Einat. The man who smashed in the girl’s head. That’s nonsense. A story. A fairy tale. He told me he didn’t do it and I believe him. I investigated the event within the framework of the next book I am writing, about hostage-taking incidents. As far as I am concerned, it was no more than a newspaper report. I sat with him; he was very intelligent. He was a squad commander at 17. He told me that his motive for infiltrating Nahariya was to take hostages. He said [his organization] knew that would both humiliate Israel and get them media publicity.
“He told me: ‘If I had wanted to kill Danny and his daughter, I would have shot them in the house. I took them to the boat because I wanted hostages. I had no interest in hurting them. After I got them into the boat, wild gunfire started and I went back to help my squad on the shore. Danny, the father, kept shouting, “Stop firing, you crazy people.” He and his daughter were found shot in the boat. I was on a small rise, shooting at your forces, and the boat was 20 meters away in the water, with Danny and the girl.’”[14] [48]“That is what he says, and in my opinion there is support for the fact that they were killed by fire from the Israeli rescue forces. You can accuse him all you like, but it was obviously the rescue forces that opened fire.”   [this is part of a wikipedia article .neither u nor i know whether he killed these ppl or not. if u prefer to believe that he did, that can only be based on prejudice as u were not there. but this comes not from al jazeera, but from an israeli newspaper, based on what an israeli intelligence officer said.]

do people like you ever look information up themselves? look up Al Jazeera bombing memo

plus the usa held an AJE reporter in gitmo for years, tho they knew he was only a photographer. they just wanted info on AJE because the usa doesnt like it when AJE publishes pictures that show the USA was lying about the enormous number of civilian casualties. just as they sure didnt like it when wikileaks exposed the documentation of those lies. do u like being lied to by your government? i dont. i think our govt should respect our right to the truth so that the people can make informed decisions. our government is supposed to lead by consent, not mislead thru deception.

i’d say your calling everyone who disagrees with you ‘complete morons’ is an angry, personal attack.
obviously, u dont watch AJE. they do not always criticize or blame america. in fact they are often supportive of the usa and critical of muslim governments. go watch what they say about bahrain or syria or iran or saudi arabia or libya or tunisia or yemen etc. in fact they are very even handed. but when criticism is warranted, they voice it and they document it much better than american news which rarely says anything about the wars except what they get from the usa military press releases which are disputed by virtually every international org.
what u say about the left is absurd. granted, we have been grumping lately, but if you believe that any criticism of the gov is unpatriotic, then u dont believe in freedom. 

maybe it goes over your head? go back to fox. 

this is the kind of hysterical stuff that comes from fox. we are far more in danger of becoming a christian nation, in spite of the fact that the constitution says that our gov will favor no religious group. at this point our house of rep has about 1/4 xtian FUNDAMENTALIST/EVANGELICALS who want their religion brought into our schools and public buildings.
our constitution decrees a separation of church and state. we can never be either a christian or muslim country unless we throw out the constitution, and i dont think that is likely-except to people who suffer from delusions and paranoia.

more ridiculous hysteria. u hear the same thing about sharia courts in britain. they say there are over 200 sharia courts already operating there!!! this is a complete lie. these are not legal courts. they have no force of law. it is nothing more than people going to their priest, pastor, or rabbi for advice. are u saying that every church or temple that offers counseling to its congregation has set up a separate legal system? you are falling for propaganda that is twisting the truth to scare the truly gullible.

If America is in no danger at all of becoming a Christian or muslim country then how can we be in more danger of becoming a Christian country?  You contradict yourself while not making any sense…oh well.

Well well well…guess what sparky?  Alah wants her name spelled this way…Mohamed said so during his Play Boy interview.

Sounds like a semi-literate moron, so I’d let it go.

LOL

Al Jazeera is a news station, not a religious one.
They provide news not faith. 

Re-read my Post, “”There is nothing benign or benevolent about ANYTHING born of Islam.” I don’t care if they provide popsicle sticks! The culture and its spawn is irredeemable.

I didnt know they were “born of Islam”.
I thought they were born out of the need to provide coverage of an under reported but important region of the world.
Are FOX, CNN & MSNBC “born out of Christianity” and therefore more acceptable ?
