Good things come to those who blog. It certainly took those cretins at CNN long enough.
Pig flying moment. 🙂
When is CNN going to give the good guys, the white hats, a show? They have been jamming this vicious propaganda down our throats for well over a decade. Basta. How about giving defenders of freedom and individual liberty rights an opportunity to make the case for Western civilization?

CNN featured academia’s Anwar Awlaki by hosting his show proselytizing for Islam (dawah). Reza Aslan (more here and here) is the exemplar of the deceptive Islamic supremacist who is widely taken as a “moderate.” He has defamed my colleagues and me in the most obscene and deceitful terms. Robert Spencer writes that he is “thus a good illustration of how people can be taken in by such snake-oil peddlers.” Aslan claims that “women enjoy complete equality in Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Turkey.” Yes, he is that kind of vicious liar — the bigger the better, and has made his career on lying, defaming and libeling me, my colleagues, and others. He has even fantasized about hate f**king me (raping) me.

CNN’s jihad pimp Reza Aslan is “a board member of a lobbying group for the bloodthirsty and genocidally antisemitic Iranian regime. Aslan tried to pass off Iran’s genocidally-minded former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a liberal reformer and has called on the U.S. Government to negotiate with Ahmadinejad himself, as well as with the jihad terror group Hamas. Aslan has even praised the jihad terror group Hizballah as “the most dynamic political and social organization in Lebanon,” and has also praised the anti-Semitic, misogynist, Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated in its own words, according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.” Aslan wrote: “The Muslim Brotherhood will have a significant role to play in post-Mubarak Egypt. And that is good thing.” Millions of Egyptians obviously disagree. He has also applauded and called for the forcible shutdown of the free speech of those who hates — a quintessentially fascist impulse.”
Robert Spencer adds, “Aslan has made the ridiculous claim that the idea of resurrection “simply doesn’t exist in Judaism,” despite numerous passages to the contrary in the Hebrew Scriptures. He has also referred to “the reincarnation, which Christianity talks about” — although he later claimed that one was a “typo.” In yet another howler he later insisted was a “typo,” he claimed that the Biblical story of Noah was barely four verses long — which he then corrected to forty, but that was wrong again, as it is 89 verses long. Aslan claimed that the “founding philosophy of the Jesuits” was “the preferential option for the poor,” when in reality, that phrase wasn’t even coined until 1968. He called Turkey the second most populous Muslim country, when it is actually the eighth most populous Muslim country. He thinks Pope Pius XI, who issued the anti-fascist encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge, was a fascist. He thinks Marx and Freud “gave birth to the Enlightenment,” when it ended in the late 18th century, before either of them were born. He claims that “the very first thing that Muhammad did was outlaw slavery,” when in fact Muhammad bought slaves, took female captives as sex slaves, and owned slaves until his death. He thinks Ethiopia and Eritrea are in Central Africa.
A “renowned religious scholar” such as Reza Aslan should not make such elementary mistakes. But this is, of course, the man who writes “than” for “then”; apparently thinks the Latin word “et” is an abbreviation; and writes “clown’s” for “clowns.””
CNN Drops Reza Aslan Following Anti-Trump Tweets
Variety, June 9, 2017:
CNN no longer believes in “Believer,” the non-fiction series it launched earlier this year with Reza Aslan, the Iranian-American author and religious scholar.
“CNN has decided to not move forward with production on the acquired series ‘Believer with Reza Aslan,’” the network said in a statement. “We wish Reza and his production team all the best. “
Aslan came under fire earlier this month after using profanity to describe President Donald Trump in the wake of remarks the President made about the terrorist attacks on London. In the tweet, Aslan called Trump “a piece of s—” and expressed dismay at Trump’s use of the tragedy to promote his desire for a so-called “travel ban” on certain kinds of people hailing from specific countries in the Middle East. The author later apologized, saying, “I should have used better language to express my shock and frustration at the president’s lack of decorum and sympathy for the victims of London. I apologize for my choice of words.”
“Believer” would have entered a second season if it had been picked up.
“Obviously I am very disappointed in this decision. ‘Believer’ means a great deal to me and to the countless viewers it’s reached. Its message of religious tolerance and exploration is extremely important right now. I am deeply grateful to CNN for giving me the opportunity to launch the show and to amplify my voice on their network. I am especially grateful to the legion of people within the Turner organization who worked so hard to make the show a hit series,” said Aslan, in a prepared statement. ” However, in these politically charged times, the tenor of our nation’s discourse has become complicated, and I recognize that CNN needs to protect its brand as an unbiased news outlet. Similarly, I need to honor my voice. I am not a journalist. I am a social commentator and scholar. And so I agree with CNN that it is best that we part ways. I look forward to partnering with another platform in the future to continue to spread my message. I wish CNN all the best.”
CNN has had to grapple with other incidents of hosts and talent expressing political opinions. Late last month, the Time Warner-owned network said it would no longer feature comedienne Kathy Griffin as part of its annual New Year’s Eve broadcast, a day after pictured surfaced on social media of Griffin holding a bloody head resembling President Trump.
CNN has a significant interest in maintaining a middle-of-the-road stance to its viewers. Being non-partisan is at the root of the cable-news network’s brand, while rivals Fox News Channel and MSNBC have allowed more partisan opinion in their prime-time programming lineup. That positioning has been sorely tested in the wake of Donald Trump’s election, as CNN’s reporters and producers set about to investigate sundry controversies surrounding the Commander-in-Chief and his administration. It is not unusual during a regular CNN programming day to see “New Day” anchor Chris Cuomo grilling a Trump advisor in the early morning or Jake Tapper offering wry and unvarnished commentary about White House policy on his late-afternoon program, “The Lead.”
In January, CNN conducted an internal brand survey, eager to find out whether remarks made by Trump suggesting CNN offered“fake news” had any sort of lasting impact on prospective viewers. “There has been no diminution whatsoever in the CNN brand,” Zucker said to reporters in February. “It’s as strong as it’s ever been. It’s incredibly trusted and we see no impact whatsoever in all of those attacks on the CNN brand.”
Aslan had been seen as a notable addition to the ranks of CNN’s various non-fiction series. He co-founded BoomGen Studios, a production shingle centered on content from and about the Middle East, in 2006. He served as a consulting producer on the HBO drama “The Leftovers” and has penned best-selling books such as “Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth” and “No God but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam.” In episodes of “Believer,” Aslan examined various faiths and doctrines around the world, spending time with Orthodox Jews in Israel and a group of Indian cannibals who, in the series’ first episode, ate cooked human brain tissue.

The difference between moderates and extremists is whether the camera is turned off, or on just before the beheadings start.

CNN did it to save whatever Little credibility they think they have Left as the jihadi “moderate” mask was coming off.
Thanks to awareness created by Pamela, Robert spencer and others people are not afraid to voice their disgust and calling out the Liars.
Even Trump got in the act few days back when he called out Palestinian Abbas a “Liar” for trying to pull Taqiya on him http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ

True Suresh.
How deeply such people are entrenched in the western society can be gauged from their western wives.All or most Irani Americans are married to white women.Many American,French,German,British and Swiss women travel to Turkey and the Middle East to marry the locals.AND they are happy.This can’t be stopped by anybody,such are matters of heart.However,if this hadn’t happened,their hold on the western society would have been only through media and academics.Lucky chaps,they have been penetrating all layers of the society.The Shia sunni differences are not very significant,going by Iran’s statement .
Do you have a email,where we can communicate? Regards,

Why wouldn’t muslim men marry White American women? With the practice of Clitoral-echtomys on most muslim women I would assume these women have little or no desire for carnal pleasures what so ever. Where as the white American women may even like human intimacy, at least UNTIL they are married, at which time they buy their husbands a brand new goat and then it’s back to business as usual.

his idea of ‘religious tolerance’ is to ‘tolerate’ Islam until it’s in control, and then crush all actual religions, and behead all non-believers.

The Variety article is a huge joke in its own right, pretending as it does that CNN has strained to be dutifully neutral and non partisan. It has tirelessly and tiresomely projected an increasingly toxic PC dogma, consistently sabotaged logical discussion and full reportage, and seems infected with Islamists and Islamophiles.

Fortunately people living outside USA who do not watch CNN a lot, know very little of this dangerous fool . Of course CNN is not short of dangerous fools. Amanpour the ‘queen’ of CNN. Quest the court jester, whose shows are quite pointless’. Then there is Cooper with his puppy dog eyes and many more.

One has to wonder at CNN’s (Crescent News Network’s) motives. It certain.y was not in pursuit of journalistic excellence. And the viewers of “Believer”are going to be so disappointed, both of them.

That was really nice. Of course my memory of the original has gone dim over the decades, seems this remix is more lively. I might guess they brought the percussion and bass up in the mix and gave it more prominence.

The point I tried to make is that this way they remain very firmly established in the society and one of our women gone to them is a family gone to them.More,their ilk multiplies under our nose with our women.

CNN’s ‘Believer’ Is Reckless, Racist And Dangerously Anti-Immigrant

In typical Muslim fashion, Azlan explodes into a violent rage whenever there is slightest criticism of Islam. What is it about this religion that changes people into moronic, violent, murdering psychopaths? Azalan seems to be under a delusion that another media outlet is going to partner with him at some point in the future. Colin Kaepernick seems to be suffering from the same delusional way of thinking.
