And while this is going on in America, anti-American feeling builds in the Arab world. Of course, the people only respond to the accurate news reports contained in their daily periodicals.
Remember that New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (an Italian-American) refused a Saudi Prince's $10 million gift after he justified the attacks? Well, the editor of the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadh has published an unbiased report on the incident (translation released 11/5/01):
The words of the Prince did not, of course, please the Jewish lobby in the home of the largest Jewish community in the world. Because the Mayor of the Big Apple is a Jew, he refused to accept the donation and caused a storm. Giuliani, the Mayor, said: "The Prince's declarations are grievous and irresponsible; these Arabs have lost the right to dictate to us. What we, America, must do is kill 6,000 innocent people."
By Allah! I am amazed at your act, you Jew!
Everything Prince Al-Walid said is true. What happened proves beyond any doubt the public insolence, the open hatred and the collapse of American democratic theory. If democracy means a Mayor who is a homosexual in a city in which dance clubs, prostitution, homosexuality, and stripping proliferate, the U.S. can keep its democracy."
