Debbie Schlussel: Could this be why the LA Times won't release the tape? Simulated beheadings by a "dance" troupe?

advertisement

Reports of the partial guest list at the 2003 dinner include "the Sanabel Debka troupe", but the group's name is really "Sanabel AlQuds Dabka troupe." Sanabel means "grains" or "kernels" #of wheat or barley# in Arabic. AlQuds, or "The Holy", is the Muslim name for Jerusalem, which is ripped-off from the eternal Hebrew name for Jerusalem, "Ir Kadosh", or Holy City.
The Milwaukee-based Muslim kids dancing troupe purports to perform the debka, a Middle-Eastern step-dance. But this group, made up of mostly Palestinian Muslims and under the auspices of the Milwaukee Muslim American Society does far more in its "performance." And it's frightening.
In June 2004, I went undercover and attended a Dearborn fundraising dinner for Islamic Relief, the Muslim Brotherhood charity that is a front for HAMAS and Al-Qaeda. The event was MC'ed by Rayed Tayeh, who orchestrated the Starbucks Coffee boycott and who is believed to be a HAMAS operative.
Sanabel AlQuds performed to songs calling for martyrdom to "get back Palestine." The kids were young boys, some of them appearing to be no older than seven years old.
But they didn't just dance the debkah.
Suddenly the Sanabel AlQuds dancers pulled out fake swords and rifles and adorned three of their troupe respectively with an American, Isreaeli, and British flag. The others pretended to behead and/or shoot the boys wearing the flags."

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I think it to be suspicious why they don't show the tape.  Is there something really to hide?  More than likely.

"I think it to be suspicious why they don't show the tape.  Is there something really to hide?  More than likely."

Good point. By being so steadfast in absolutely refusing to show the tape, it puts the thought in peoples' minds that there must indeed be something very terrible-- and very incriminating on it!

Even if there actually isn't. (Although I have a feeling that there is..)

Agreed krishna!  If it is so innocent then release the tape.

Now the LA Times says:

The Los Angeles Times’ “reader’s representative” comes out strongly against the readers of the LA Times: Obama, the videotape and informing the public.

Notice: the excuse that releasing the video would “put their source in jeopardy” is nowhere to be found in this one. The point of the article is that the rest of the mainstream media are co-signing for the LA Times. I know, it’s a shock.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn this was the crux of the cover up.

Nothing would surprise me.

Now it seems a 1974 Bill Ayers book is dedicated (in part) to Sirhan Sirhan. I wonder how the Kennedys feel about that.

I think Festive has an article up on that one . . . Yes, Here.

I have to think that they didn't know. 

I wonder if they are satisfied with the "I was only 8" argument.

Condemning such a performance would equal intolerance.  Intolerance in any form seems to many the greatest of all sin. 

If such a performance was done at the party in question, it would indeed be reason enough to hide.
