Rumors of Mr. Jackson's conversion first surfaced in December 2003, a month after his arrest on child-molestation charges. Saeed Shabazz, a reporter for the Nation of Islam's publication, The Final Call , announced that Mr. Jackson had joined the organization. He added that NoI's leader, Louis Farrakhan, “sees a lot of spirituality in Michael.” But the Nation of Islam denied this connection and the topic quickly faded. जैक्सन के धर्मान्तरण से संबंधित पहली अफवाह 2003 के नवंबर महीने में तब उड़ी जब बच्चों के यौन शोषण के संबंध में उन्हें गिरफ्तार किया गया.नेशन ऑफ इस्लाम के प्रकाशन द फाइनल कॉल के संवाददाता सईद सावाज ने घोषणा की कि जैक्सन संगठन में शामिल हो गए हैं. उन्होंने यह भी जोड़ा कि नेशन ऑफ इस्लाम के नेता लुईस फराखान को माईकल ने पर्याप्त मात्रा में आध्यात्मिकता दिखती है लेकिन नेशन ऑफ इस्लाम ने इस खबर का तुरंत खंडन कर दिया और यह विषय समाप्त हो गया.

“We're not saying all Arabs and Muslims are implicated, not at all,” he told reporters at a Montreal news conference. But we are saying a small minority have brought these ideas with them“ from the Arab world, he added, and ”have been worked up“ and ”propagandized“ by what they hear in Internet chat rooms and on Al-Jazeera broadcasts. ”And it's caused some real problems for the Jewish communities,“ Scheinberg said. He described the anti-Semites as ”angry young Arabs and Muslims“ whose behaviour suggests ”there are some problems now with assimilating immigrants to the Canadian way of life.” कुछ देशों का समूह प्रबल सेमेटिक विरोधी श्रेणी में पहचाना गया है । यहां फ्रांस , बेलजियम , नीदरलैंड्स और ब्रिटेन का उल्लेख किया जा सकता है । इन देशो में अनेक ऐसे मामले प्रकाश में आए हैं जहां यहूदियों पर शारिरीक आक्रमण हुए और उनके गिरिजाघरों या संस्थानों को निशाना बनाया गया । इन देशों में यहूदियों या उनके गिरिजाघरों पर आक्रमण अरब मुस्लिम अल्पसंख्यक और विशेषकर युवाओं द्वारा किए गए ।

CNN : An anchor on its international program, Rosemary Church , implied that Israeli forces could shoot down Hezbollah's rockets but chose not to do so when she asked an Israeli spokesman, “would Israel not be trying to shoot them out of the sky? They have the capability to do that.” The Washington Post : Similarly, a military affairs reporter, Thomas Ricks , announced on national television that unnamed American military analysts believe that the Israeli government “purposely has left pockets of Hezbollah rockets in Lebanon, because as long as they're being rocketed, they can continue to have a sort of moral equivalency in their operations in Lebanon.” Having one's own people injured, he explained, offers “the moral high ground.” बीबीसी - संपादकों ने इजरायल को दुष्ट रुप में चित्रित करने के लिए अपने समाचार पृष्ठों पर ये निवेदन कर लोगों से व्यक्तिगत रुप से आग्रह किया , क्या आप गाजा में रहते हैं ? क्या आप इस क्षेत्र की हिंसा से प्रभावित हुए हैं , नीचे दिये गए फार्म का उपयोग कर अपना अनुभव हमें भेजें. यदि आप हमसे और भी बातचीत के इच्छुक हैं तो कृपया संपर्क संबंधी विवरण भी जोड़ें.

Safian finds an inconsistency and thus a “serious problem” in this note: on CNN's Reliable Sources Mr. Ricks described his source as “some U.S. military analysts,” while in the note he describes his source as “a senior Israeli official.” Which raises the question of whether Mr. Ricks had any source at all - besides himself, that is. The executive editor of the Washington Post, Leonard Downie Jr., has rebuked one of his Pulitzer-Prize winning reporters for suggesting on television that Israel was purposely leaving Hezbollah rockets in Lebanon “because as long as they're being rocketed, they can continue to have a sort of moral equivalency in their operations.” ... ऐसी शक्ति के साथ अंतर्निहित है कि जब पश्चिम किसी गैर-पश्चिम से युद्ध करता है तो युद्ध भूमि का परिणाम पता होता है .वह पहले ही तय हो जाता है और यह युद्ध एक परंपरागत युद्ध के स्थान पर एक पुलिस का छापा अधिक लगता है .पुलिस छापे की भांति ही आधुनिक युद्ध का आकलन उसकी वैधानिकता , शत्रुता की अवधि , सेना के अनुपात ,क्षति की गंभीरता और आर्थिक तथा पर्यावरणिक क्षति की सीमा से किया जाता है .

Afterward, when the world was exploding around him and the lethal blackbirds were massing on the climbing frame in the school courtyard, he felt annoyed with himself for forgotting the name of the BBC reporter, a woman, who had told him that his old life was over and a new, darker existence was about to begin. She called him at home, on his private line, without explaining how she got the number. “How does it feel,” she asked him, “to know that you have just been sentenced to death by the Ayatollah Khomeini?” It was a sunny Tuesday in London but the question shut out the light. This is what he said, without really knowing what he was saying: “It doesn't feel good.” This is what he thought: I'm a dead man . He wondered how many days he had left, and thought the answer was probably a single-digit number. He put down the telephone and ran down the stairs from his workroom at the top of the narrow Islington row house where he lived. The living-room windows had wooden shutters and, absurdly, he closed and barred them. Then he locked the front door. Also of interest is his confirming my speculation in The Rushdie Affair that he got the idea for the title while studying about Islam at the university: “He was in his second year of reading history at Cambridge when he learned about the Satanic Verses .” Comment on this item पश्चिम की कमजोरी ने इस्लामी उभार को शक्ति दी है। पश्चिमी संस्कृति की रक्षा करने वाले न केवल इस्लामवादियों से लडें वरन बहुसंस्कृतिवाद से भी लडें जो कि उन्हें सशक्त कर रहे हैं और वामपंथियों के साथ गठबन्धन कर रहे हैं।

The press, however, generally shies away from the word terrorist , preferring euphemisms. Take the assault that led to the deaths of some 400 people, many of them children, in Beslan, Russia, on September 3. Journalists have delved deep into their thesauruses, finding at least twenty euphemisms for terrorists: The origins of this unwillingness to name terrorists seems to lie in the Arab-Israeli conflict, prompted by an odd combination of sympathy in the press for the Palestinian Arabs and intimidation by them. The sympathy is well known; the intimidation less so. Reuters' Nidal al-Mughrabi made the latter explicit in advice for fellow reporters in Gaza to avoid trouble on the Web site www.newssafety.com , where one tip reads: “Never use the word terrorist or terrorism in describing Palestinian gunmen and militants; people consider them heroes of the conflict.” अश्लीलता जैसे कठिन विषय को परिभाषित करते हुए अमेरिका के सर्वोच्च न्यायालय के निर्णय की प्रमुख प्रतिक्रिया थी .”मैं इसे तब जानता हूं जब इसे देखता हूं “ वैसे तो आतंकवाद को परिभाषित करना कोई कठिन नहीं है लेकिन स्कूली बच्चों की बेसलान में हुई क्रूर हत्या और उनके शवों पर रोते लोगों को देखकर उँची इमारतों में बैठ कर डेस्क पर काम करने वालों के लिए “जब मैं देखता हूँ तब मैं जानता हूँ “ की परिभाषा सटीक बैठती है .

Egypt's Gen. Mukhtar al-Mulla. In an unusual briefing evidently aimed at Washington, Gen. Mukhtar al-Mulla of the ruling council asserted that the initial results of elections for the People's Assembly do not represent the full Egyptian public, in part because well-organized factions of Islamists were dominating the voting. The comments, to foreign reporters and not the Egyptian public, may have been intended to persuade Washington to back off its call for civilian rule. “So whatever the majority in the People's Assembly, they are very welcome, because they won't have the ability to impose anything that the people don't want,” General Mulla said, explaining that the makeup of Parliament will not matter because it will not have power over the constitution. यह सत्य है कि यदि इस्लामवादियों का संसद पर नियंत्रण होता है ( जो कि निश्चित नहीं है क्योंकि सेना अब भी आगे के चक्रों में उनका प्रतिशत घटा सकती है क्योंकि यहाँ निर्वाचन प्रक्रिया अत्यंत जटिल है और उसमें हेरा फेरी की सम्भावना है) तो उन्हें कुछ विशेषाधिकार प्राप्त होंगे और वे देश को शरियत की ओर उतनी दिशा में ही ले जायेंगे जितना कि एससीएएफ उन्हें अनुमति देगी। यह लम्बे समय से चले आ रहे इस्लामीकरण के रुझान को ही बनाये रखता है जो कि 1952 में सेना द्वारा सत्ता पर अधिकार किये जाने के बाद से ही जारी है।
