An Arab group (probably Iraqi expatriates living in Europe) has launched a campaign to stop Al Jazeera TV broadcasts in Europe.

Since Its Inception, Al-Jazeera Has Chosen the Path of Fostering Violence and Hatred

“Why should Al-Jazeera be blocked in liberal Europe?

“More than 10 years after the emergence of the extremist Al-Jazeera channel, the time has come for Arabs who live in Europe and believe in a free Europe to defend the principles of a continent that has sacrificed millions of victims to reach its current state of progress, respect for human rights, rejection of extremism, and rejection of the fostering of hatred.

“Since its inception, Al-Jazeera TV has chosen the path of fostering violence and hatred in the world, and has acted so as to be an arm of terrorist forces, such as Al-Qaeda and other extremist forces. [Al-Jazeera TV] has already been prevented from operating in many countries, and some of its presenters and technical crew have been arrested for their involvement in aiding obscurantist terrorist forces like Al-Qaeda and others.”

The Time Has Come for… ‘The Bin Laden Channel’ to Face Its Day of Reckoning on the European Continent

“The time has come for Al-Jazeera TV, whose name has become ‘the bin Laden channel,’ to face its day of reckoning on the European continent.

“It would be difficult, in this brief [overview], to provide examples of the calamitous influence, danger, and ignominy that Al-Jazeera TV has presented and continues to present. Every day that this channel [continues to] broadcast constitutes a clear violation of the principles of the media, and poisons the minds of the youth…”

Al-Jazeera is Exploiting Europe’s Democratic Environment in Order to Wholeheartedly Oppose Freedom and Respect

“One cannot remain silent in the face of the dangerous insinuations broadcast by Al-Jazeera, that are aimed at trying to show that there is an extremist religious campaign against Muslims in Europe.

“One cannot remain silent, given the statements of European political and cultural researchers as to Al-Jazeera’s dangerous influence on the Arab youth in Europe.

“One cannot remain silent in the face of [Sheikh Yousef] Al-Qaradhawi calling Christians and Westerners ‘infidels’ on Al-Jazeera, [and in the face of] his calls for violence.

“European governments cannot but note Al-Jazeera’s record in the Middle East, and the restricting orders issued against it in countries such as Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Perhaps these countries are not models of the kind of democracy found in Europe – but their judges and media personnel presented clear and irrefutable evidence of Al-Jazeera’s involvement in actions unbefitting a media outlet.

“One cannot remain silent in the face of Al-Jazeera’s continued exploitation of the European continent’s democratic environment in order to practice a media policy that is wholeheartedly opposed to the freedom and respect that European principles promote.

“It is not our intention here to mention further examples of the Qatari Al-Jazeera channel’s extremism. We will leave it to every free and sincere Arab individual to remember the many hours of anger he has spent viewing Al-Jazeera’s destructive discourse.”
