#1 BBC, CNN, Al-Jizz.
Congrats on the hat trick, kid. I don't think you have to explain the move. It looks like a natural progression.
I look forward to you running the show at Jihad Unspun in a couple of years...

#4 Riz is seen mostly on CCNI and every year (even before 911) would do a week long special report from Mecca/Medina on the Haj. He is very Islamic and an apologist. He is only making the natural progression from BBC to CNN to Al-Jazeera and when Binny takes over the world will become his press secretary.

#7 Ed: naw, first he has to get "kidnapped" so some dhimmi government can slip a few mil to the jihadis. Next, he'll have to produce a few beheading videos. Then, perhaps, they'll let him be a true shaheed and get his 72 raisins.

#8 So what, the asshole hates freedom in the west, or the asshole hates freedom in the east. Maybe someone over there will want to listen to that shit. Good riddance.

#9 "This is Jizz Kahn reporting for al Jizz..."

Well, that's Show Jizz! Personally, I'm not suprised by the transition from BBC => Al Jiz. I used to read the BBC webpage daily, back in the pre-Rantburg era. No more. Praise be to Allan for the snarky, info-goodness of Rantburg!

I wonder how you say 'asstard' in Arabic?

#11 I still like the name of the editor of Al Jazeera: Jihad Ballout. No hiding his proclivities there.

#12 America's oil-patch dhimmi President may finally be bending to the pressure of those like me who oppose democraticizing Islamofascism.

Rantburgers: I conscript you in the total war campaign against Islamofascism, and order you to cease and desist in supporting subsidized jihadism in the Muslim junk states. Read of our following success in knocking the oil-patch kiss-butt orientation to the Sauds, out of the alcohol sotted brain of GWB.

And here is some bipartisanism education for the fat-headed:
