Oprah on 9-11X6: Forgive, Respect, Raise Muslim Self-Esteem

HOprah Watch: Today, Oprah Exploits the Children of 9/11
The use of "HOprah" is rude, worthy of Don Imus.

By Debbie Schlussel

**** UPDATE #2: BINGO! HOprah talks about "forgivenes" with one of the 9/11 kids. Don't say I didn't tell you so. She's so predictable. ****

**** UPDATE: Forgot to mention, but I bet HOprah continues in her tradition of not mentioning that the terrorists were Muslim. ****

Today, on her nationally syndicated daytime talk show, Oprah Winfrey will feature - actually, exploit - the children of 9/11 victims. It's beyond tacky. It's inappropriate. These kids shouldn't be watching her show . . . and they certainly shouldn't be on it.

#13  Raising self esteem comes from doing something for which you are proud. If Muslims do good, then they will be proud of their efforts and their self esteem will be raised. Hearing a television show host say, "Be a good boy now" is not going to do it.

#12  I Hirsi Ali, Walfa Sulfan, and other articulate women are anti-jihadis. Unfortunately, we are few.
The un-indicted co-conspirators - CAIR/ISNA - are far more powerful than Anti-Jihadists. Yesterday was a good day to sum up the record of exposure of the hidden Muslim agenda: global Islamization. Most people who I attempt to educate about doctrinal aggression in Islam respond: that's what Hitler said of the Jews. And the Muslims that they meet are outwardly intemperate. It is hard to convince multi-cultist indoctrinates that a minority people in the West is using democratic liberties for the purpose of overthrowing them.

#11  For the past two years I've emailed Oprah more than a dozen times requesting that she bring Ayan Hirsi Ali onto her program and to alot the entire hour for an interview. Hiris Ali has yet to be invited onto the program as a quest.

In the past twelve months I've emailed Oprah no less than six times requesting that she bring Walfa Sultan onto her program and to interview her for the entire program. To date, Sultan has not been invited to be a guest.

One might think that women such as Hirsi Ali and Walfa Sultan would be sought after guests on a program such as Oprah's since both are self -made women in the mold of Oprah. One would be wrong to think so.

Call me naive when I wrote the emails, but I'm thinking either (both) women would make for an eye-opening and intersting interview with Oprah's target audience.

I can only conclude that neither Ali or Sultan, in the opinion of Oprah's gatekeepers, think these women have a message worth sharing with their political base or the audience Oprah panders to.

That's unfortunate.

But for the interent it is very difficult to spread the word on the enemy.

#10  It is up to God to forgive them. Our duty is to kill them.

Exactly Right, Excalibur.

"It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter."

#9  We are sometimes a pretty pathetic and naive people to have given this village idiot all the exposure and financial resources so she can feel so damn invulnerable to create the comfort zone of wishy-washy humanism. I hope Obama ends up on the dust floor of political oblvion and takes her down with him.

#8  Oprah should have got the title of "Today's Idiot".

#6  This idiot is starting to show her true colors. She strongly supports Hussein Obama. Nuff said for flop ears.

#5  If she were an ordinary citizen doing this in the privacy of her own little life, she'd be merely a symptom. But she's not: she's a nationally prominent member of an elite liberal clique whose mission is to train Americans to be weak, needy and stupid.

She most definitely is part of the cause.

#4  Symptom, not cause. Although at this point it's a reinforcing circle ...

#2  Scenario #1: Muslim chops off head of non-Muslim.
Muslim population response: "It was his religious duty, he is now revered."

Scenario #2: Black robs and murders a non-black.
Black population response: "He had it coming to him 'cuz we been oppressed and enslaved and all."

Scenario #3: Whites kidnap and sexually abuse black woman.
White population response: "These cretins are a disgusting representation of us and should be removed from the gene pool. Quickly, but painfully."

#1  I recall the scientific study that showed increasing self esteem, was just making people (more) delusional about themselves. Making Muslims more self delusional (than they already) doesn't seem like a good idea.
