Amanpour: Brit radicals shock me - CNN.com


"LONDON, England (CNN) -- When we reported the unprecedented suicide bombings of the London underground trains and buses in 2005, we were shocked beyond words that young British Muslims, born and bred here, would go to that extreme.

We could not understand what would drive them to kill themselves and their fellow citizens."

Is the Liberal Media really that blind to Radical Islam? Shocked? Have they been living in a hole or some cave with their terrorist buddies?

All men are created equal, but what they do after that point puts them on a sliding scale.

It's known in the US as the "Communist News Network" for a good reason, Troll.

have you guys seen doofy's thread: http://forums.macnn.com/95/political...-buddhist-fun/

it's not about buddhists... it's a link to a telling documentary about what goes on inside some Mosques in the UK.

BTW it's on our liberal channel 4 - or maybe not so liberal, given the content of the doc, or your interpretation of liberal.

Yeah. Most of the reviews I have seen are expression shock that Channel 4 would be airing it, because of how liberal the BBC usually is.

One programme does not negate years of liberal programming and apologism, btw.

C4 isn't BBC (Buggers Broadcasting Communism)

Completely separate companies. Whilst C4 and BBC do tend to have an anti establish slant - they do run docs like this every so often.

Had one recently about A'stan - guy met Taliban, Taliban pretended to kill him etc

showed 15 year old suicide bomber - how the Taliban took advantage of UK forces lack of helicopters and troops, how they persecuted people etc Also showed the UK side of it in another episode - said he though the UK troops were honourable in their mission and the way they went about it.

BBC is a big corp - they don't all sing from the same hymn sheet.

Where CNN was 5 - 10 Years ago.

Many consider Fox to be more "conservative" (Fair and balanced my @$$)

How about a timeline. You agree with this?:

Al Jazeera----Al Jazeera Int.-------France24--BBC--Euronews----CNN--------Sky---------Fox

I don't know, I'd put CNN down as pretty middle of the road in the international spectrum. Maybe in the US it's left wing but seen against the others, it's probably middle to right of middle.
