I can't believe the information I am seeing on your site but not for the same reasons I don't believe the news on CNN. I don't believe CNN because I know it's controlled and filtered to control my opinion but I can't believe the information about Palestine that I saw on your website because it's too awful to be true, how come it be possible that these kind of things happen in the "modern" world we live in.

Results of persistent research bring me to conclude that anti-Semitism is Really misunderstood.

In around the 8th century a place called Khazar (north of the Caspian sea) opted for a conversion to Judaism in order to avoid being controlled by the Muslims on their east and the Christians on the west. As a result the "Ashkenazis" were born, this branch known as the "European Jews" has NO BLOOD CONNECTION to the real Jews of the bible, consequently no rights to the land of Palestine.

This is clearly explained by the ..www.nkusa.org orthodox Jews themselves. ZIONISM is the creation of the Ashkenazis under the control and interest of the "Rothchild's empire" .This machination was also in full effect during W.W.2 when collaboration with the Nazis allowed concentration camps "managed" by KAPOS (Zionist Jews). The result of which was the creation of Israel. Therefore, there is no anti-Semitism in being anti-Zionist or anti-Israel, as the Zionist control it.

It is an Irony, but it can be argued that ISRAEL (a Zionist, not Jewish, state) IS ANTI-SEMITE AGAINST PALESTINIANS !

This is a point that should be exploited by all peace seekers and widely published.

When will so many like the awoken few wake up and see the truth about the war on terror? There are no terrorists. There are only tyrants. YES TYRANTS as in the United States of America and Israel. The USA has single handily taken over the Middle East one nation at a time with their cohorts and partners, Israel. How long will the people of this planet stand for this!.

I guess since it's not in your back yard you turn a blind eye to the death and destruction. That are committed under the false name of terror. I pity all of you who condone these two nations actions. Remember, to remain quiet is to be complicit and be just as guilty as if you committed these atrocities against your fellow man yourself. Underneath we, yes, we are all brothers and sister whether you can accept this truth or not. Love thy neighbor as thyself

Karma has a nasty way of reaching out and reminding us of all the pain and suffering we caused in this or any other live time to our fellow man.

Men remember, when you abuse a woman or child you're opening yourselves to a much greater karmic debt. As you sow so shall you reap.

Stand up and speak out against the tyranny that is being committed against humanity by power hungry, greedy politicians who have no respect for human life and dignity.

Perhaps this is a simple or perceived to be stupid question, but bear with me please:

Since communications seem to be delivered frequently to Aljazeera TV purporting to be from OBL, has there been any attempt to track back those who deliver the tapes, videos, etc?

Editor: First, this publication (Al-Jazeerah.info) is not related by any means to the Qatari Aljazeera TV station. Second, according to what is published by Aljazeera TV or Al-Arabiya TV, they receive the tapes by mail or somebody may bring a tape to their offices and leave without communication. However, there are experts in handwriting and voice who may judge whether the tape is authentic or not. Then, there are experts in the style, education, and cultural contexts, who would observe any changes in the way the person speaks and consequently on whether the tape is authentic or a hoax.

In one occasion, Aljazeera TV journalist Tariq Fouda met with Al-Qaeda member Fawzi Ibn Al-Shibah for an interview in Pakistan. Ibn Al-Shibah was arrested directly after that probably because intelligence agencies were monitoring the journalist. To my knowledge, that was the only case that Aljazeera TV had an interview with a member of Al-Qaeda after September 11, 2001. Before that, Tayseer Allouni conducted interviews with Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan, which was used against him by a Fascist judge in Spain.

As a former professor of mass communications at Northwestern University, I feel freedom of information and the truth are important bastions of our democracy. In this vein, I feel it is important that you broadcast this unusual hearing on the fate of the USS Liberty because it has been hushed up so long. As a former advisor to the FCC, I urge you to do this in the best spirit of truth and open-ness in the media; it will be a feather in your hat and that of C-Span.

We depend on C-Span to bring us important events that other media rarely allows us to see; this is one of those important events that you must broadcast or you will lose some of your lustre and credibility. Some of us feel the Israeli lobby will try to stop you; if they do, then we will lose respect for C-Span and Mr.Lamb.

The Asian Age in its issue of Jan 9, 2004, has published a photo on its front page, which would shock the 150 million Muslims of India and beyond. The BJP appointed Haj House officials have prepared an exact replica of Holy Kaaba and its surroundings, under the pretext of training the intending Haj Pilgrims in Haj rituals. The sinister idea of building a replica of the Holy Ka’aba could not be brushed aside as an innocent attempt to help the Muslim pilgrims. The proceedings of Haj and the constant exposure of the Ka’aba and Haram Sharif is so familiar not only to Muslims but to all the people of the world through most extensive TV coverage, that the training could have sufficed even if aided thorough multi-media presentations. The crude attempt to create other unauthorized centers of ‘piety’ around one of the main pillars of Islam, cannot be lightly dismissed as an innocent exuberance of some naïve official. The involvement of state authorities in such spurious and unauthorized attempt to influence the minds of mostly uneducated masses should alarm the elders of the Muslim community in India. The Union Home Ministry in charge of Haj House activities should take immediate steps to ban the use of all such controversial practices through state sponsorship to nip in bud any untoward agitation against the ‘bid’aa’ practice or the addition into the religion Islam.
