NBC: STAGING THE NEWS AGAIN? By Michelle Malkin · April 04, 2006 08:25 AM A source who monitors political e-mail lists sent me an intriguing message disseminated last week, which involved an apparent Dateline NBC solicitation to Muslim groups. Check this out: Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 13:05:54 -0800 (PST) From: Subject: Looking for Muslim Males to participate in NBC Dateline Segment [Forwarded] Salam, I hope everyone is doing well. I have been talking with a producer of the NBC Dateline show and he is in the process of filming a piece on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discrimination in the USA. They are looking for some Muslim male candidates for their show who would be willing to go to non-Muslim gatherings and see if they attract any discriminatory comments or actions while being filmed. They recently taped two turbaned Sikh men attending a football game in Arizona to see how people would treat them. They set them up with hidden microphones and cameras, etc. They want to do the same thing 2 or 3 other times (in various parts of the USA) with one or two Muslim men in each setting. They are looking for men who actually "look Muslim". They want a guy with no foreign accent whatsoever, a good thick beard, an outgoing personality, and someone willing to wear a kufi/skullcap during the filming. They also want someone who is fairly well accomplished and has contributed to American society at large in some meaningful way. That said, I'm urgently looking for someone who can be filmed this April 1st weekend at a Nascar event (and other smaller events) in Virginia. NBC is willing to fly in someone and cover their weekend expenses. The filming would take place all day on Saturday and Sunday. We already have a hijabi sister who will be filmed there but a Muslim is also needed to join her. I also need candidates for the other filming segments which will take place in the following weeks. A few weeks later, NBC will fly all the filmed participants to New York City to interview them as a group about their experience and thoughts on discrimination they've faced in America, especially in light of the times we live in (war on terror, 9-11, etc.). The show, if approved by NBC (highly likely), is expected to air sometime this summer. What I need from interested candidates is an email with an attached clear photograph, a resume, and contact information. I also need basic information such as age, ethnic background, accomplishments, etc. The sooner I can get this the better and please don't make emails too long. I will then submit a group of candidates to NBC so they can choose the people for the show. Please forward this to all Muslim lists you can. Because of the upcoming filming in Virginia, this is pretty time-sensitive. My contact information is below. Salam, Tarek El-Messidi Catch that? The apparent "sting" involves targeting Nascar and other sporting events. 'Cause that's presumably where the fair and balanced NBC news staff thinks all the bigots are.

Tegan tells her rapists: Go to hell Sydney Morning Herald. ^ \| Natasha Wallace smh.com.au TEGAN WAGNER was a frightened, innocent 14-year-old girl when she fell prey to the notorious Pakistani gang-rapist brothers. That was four years ago. The shy child in the police videos has grown into a strong, brave and defiant young woman, and yesterday she declared "I won" when her attackers were sentenced. It was the final chapter of a drawn-out battle for justice for at least six girls. ............ The brothers, particularly MSK, had pulled out all stops to avoid justice. They said they were Muslim and so would be denied a fair trial. They claimed media publicity was prejudicial. And they repeatedly sacked their barristers. MSK pretended to be mentally ill, and jumped the dock and threw broken glass at the victims' families. He later admitted to all the rapes at his sentencing hearing, but invented more excuses: he blamed his victims for being "promiscuous" and his "strict cultural background", even that "Satanic voices" made him do it. It was all dismissed by Justice Hidden. "The whole of the offender's behaviour was consciously designed to prevent the proceedings being brought to finality. He presents as a man who is prepared to manipulate the system in any way he can to avoid facing the consequences of his crimes," the judge said. The brothers' father was not in court. A medical practitioner, he is under investigation by the NSW Medical Board, which has banned him from prescribing any drugs of addiction. He blames the media for his sons being jailed. The Director of Public Prosecutions is considering perjury charges against him and other family members for lying at the trials.
