96. Wow, stunning
You're pretending that you didn't 'get' the rhetorical aspect of my query in an effort to rescue your argument.

I answered my damn question in that post. And YES, al Manar does have more than suicide videos and music videos, but those elements constitute roughly ONE THIRD of their total programming. ONE THIRD.

You can parse who is the terrorist, and who isn't, but when calls for the death of an entire group because of their religious orientation repeated over the airwaves are somehow 'OK' with you, that's YOUR problem. And it's a big one.

And gosh, you aren't the only person in the world with an understanding of Islam, or friends and family in the Muslim faith, so just drop that argument. It doesn't compel.

Sit down and watch the channel with one of your arabic speaking Muslim acquaintances, one you trust to give you an accurate translation of what you are seeing and hearing, with whom you "deal every day," and then make a judgment.
