Saudi Broadcasts Promote Anti-Semitism, Martyrdom

NEW YORK -- A television station backed by a Saudi prince has sparked outrage by broadcasting clips that show young children being taught to hate Jews -- referring to them as "apes and pigs" -- and embrace martyrdom.

It gets "better"...

During a May 7 episode of Muslim Woman Magazine, anchorwoman Doaa 'Amer asks her special guest, a 3-year-old girl named Basmallah, a series of questions the youngster quickly and calmly answers.

"Are you familiar with the Jews?" Amer asks.

The girl says yes, and says she does not like them "because…they’re apes and pigs."

The girl says she learns this from the Quran. I doubt she's reading it directly, so some adult is giving her an, er, interesting interpretation. I love the description of the network:

Widely watched Iqraa television is ART's effort to provide "a focused insight into the teachings of the Quran" to "intellectual, elite, and conservative Islamic markets."

Lovely people. The Saudi prince sponsoring all this is the same one who offered $10 million to the World Trade Center relief fund, but was sent packing by Giuliani after he said US support for Israel was responsible for 9/11.
