Charting Propaganda in the Arab World

Editor - This is how Al Jazeera, the dominant cable news network in the Arab world chooses to report the reaction to Saddam Hussein's execution. The fact that Hussein murdered millions of Muslims is not mentioned. The comments sources are not mentioned; no mention that perhaps the comments are made by Sunni's. Instead the comments are purposely left open ended to craft the image that the entire Muslim world is revolted by this mass murderer's execution by the new Iraqi government. This is the sort of propaganda that keeps the Muslim world 500 years behind the rest of the planet.

Saddam execution angers pilgrims - 12/30/06 from Al Jazeera

Muslims at the Hajj, shocked at the death of the former Iraqi leader, have said the timing of his execution was an insult to Muslims.

Nawaf al-Harbi, a Saudi national speaking outside the Grand Mosque in Mecca, said Saddam's hanging during the Eid al-Adha, was poorly timed and disrespectful.

"I don't want to believe it. Saddam cannot die. Is this the good news we get on our Eid?" al-Harbi said.
