Washington Scene:
MUSLIM STUDENT ASSOCIATION (MSA) CENSORS
MER
KING FAHD "YES", MER "NO"
"Amazingly, MSANEWS is now
circulating to American Muslims Press Releases from King Fahd in Saudi
Arabia while censoring MER articles about what's really going on!"
MER - Washington - 26 May:
The real loosers are the Muslims themselves all
around the USA who in the end are deprived of the real information they
need -- especially about their own organizations and what is really going
on in Washington. Information is power; and lack of honest, forthright,
difficult to obtain information is one of the reasons the Muslims collectively
remain so weak and practically helpless in the USA.
Apparently MER is increasingly doing its job well
-- for this job cannot be done properly without coming up against those
who try to manipulate and mislead through every means everyone involved
with the Middle East, including controlling what information they easily
have access to.
The Muslim Student Association News (MSANEWS) is
portrayed as a mechanism to inform concerned Muslims about politics and
the Middle East via the Internet. But increasingly MSANEWS has become a
kind of propagandistic bulletin board service for Muslim and Arab American
organizations sending out misleading and self-serving press releases, with
heavy manipulation from those association with Jim Zogby and the "Arab-American
Institute" (AAI) and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).
Indeed, after repeated assurances from MSANEWS that
censorship would not taking place, those monitoring MSANEWS for MER discovered
that key articles in the past few months dealing with "The Washington Scene"
(including articles mentioning what is really going on behind the
scenes regarding ADC and AAI and the "Peace Process") have been censored
by MSANEWS. Amazingly, MSANEWS is now circulating Press Releases from King
Fahd in Saudi Arabia to American Muslims while censoring MER about what's
really going on both in the Middle East and in Washington!
