Well, there seems to be much interesting information missed from the US air waves... :-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_antisemitism#Yusuf_al...

In a sermon, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on January 9, 2009 [...] "Oh Allah, take your enemies, the enemies of Islam. Oh Allah, take the Jews, the treacherous aggressors. Oh Allah, take this profligate, cunning, arrogant band of people. [...] Oh Allah, take this oppressive, Jewish, Zionist band of people. Oh Allah, do not spare a single one of them. Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one."

Edit: I quoted (from Wikipedia) the content of the TV channel people want to show in the western world. Down voting is for lack of counter arguments?

Edit 2: I think it is really funny that I get downvoted a lot for noting that antisemitic hatred and prayers for genocide are sent on Al J -- the non-English one...

Apparently Wikipedia also carries that content. Down with Wikipedia!

cause they get their share of antisemitism from Fox: http://mediamatters.org/research/200807020002

You defend Al Jazeera's (with other muslim media) airing of antisemitic content -- because Fox News is garbage?

I can't see any other way how criticism of Fox can be relevant to what I wrote. And your argument's logic was worthy of Fox.

Edit: I had a joke (HUMOR PARENTHESIS!) in a comment that "much interesting information was missing". Then I quoted a prayer for genocide of people of another religion from Al Jazeera. I DID NOT A CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO ANTI SEMITISM IN US MEDIA (hardly organized racism at least, it is taboo in the western world). I might also add -- you understood that.

Edit 2: Anyway, it was really funny that you got up voted so much for that -- and I've been down voted in two threads for showing that Al J has extreme racist content...

where did I sound like I was defending Al Jazeera's antisemitism?

You claimed that US airwaves lack antisemitism and I refuted your claim.

Yes, that seems the same as an Islamic sermon calling for the destruction of the Jewish race. I see the analogy, well played. You've completely countered berntb's point.
