    I applaud CNN for realizing its mistake in producing the news and reporting on the Middle East. It was a move to promote tolerance and understanding to remove Nasar Fadlallah from her post as Senior Editor of Middle Eastern Affairs.

    It very sad to see that a monster like Fadlallah who did so much harm to all the non moslem populations, specially in Lebanon and Israel, could die in his bed, without facing international tribunals. It is as if we would be told that Hitler lives in a discrete villa in Iran or Venezuela with the approuval of their political authorities…

    These comments are completely unfounded, first more then half of you are calling her a strong supporter of Hezbollah, some even calling her Muslim. Here is a lesson on her background, she is Christian Lebanese and if she supports anyone in the middle east its the Christian base in Lebanon. Before everyone throws her under the bus as a warrior of Islam they need to know the facts and look at her tremendous track record. I know her personally and am extremely bothered that she is being accused of such horrible extremistideology. Being Lebanese it is difficult to hate Hezbollah and its difficult to like them as they have caused tremendous horror but yet also provided many services to there people. Her overall goal was to portray sympathy for a man that was progressive towards Muslim women in the world. If there was a way to get rid of Hezbollah all together and maintain a safe Lebanon I guarantee you that Nasr would be for that idea. She certainly is not a supporter of terrorism and has served CNN honorably for 20 years. Seriously if your going to slander her at least get your facts straight about the woman.

    How ironic it is that Ms Nasr has lost her job, but Ms Frances Guy, Britain’s Ambassador to Lebanon, who blogged something very similar about Fadlallah – a “decent” man and her “favourite politician” whose passing has blighted many lives, etc. etc., and didn’t apologize as swiftly or as graciously as Ms Nasr – has kept hers. Elder of Ziyon’s blog has a screen-shot of the post, and you can also see a picture Ms Guy paying obeisance to Fadlallah, her hair fully covered. Nauseating.

    Rooms full of zombies, spreading jihad with their internet comments
    As hatred and murder passes to them with the milk of their mothers
    72 virgins in heaven, green meadows and a constant erection
    Is promised to martyrs who must die in order to get to this action
    Understanding of honor and freedom never existed
    Women are things to be used, but never assisted
    Only when Jews come to light can they become verbal,
    As it is their duty and honor to teach hate to their children

    Unfortunately, in Canada we have to pay to receive FOX, but receive CNN free.
    My cheque went into the mail. Looking forward to receiving Fox.

    In case my previous post didn’t make it. I said good for Ms. Nasr. I am proud that she twitted what she twitted and I support her. At least someone has the guts to stand up to the Zionist Occupied Media. I also said that if I were a billionaire, I’d set her family up for life
