h/t to Pajamas Media for allowing me to find this. Some of these films will feed into the conspiracy whackjobs here in this country, but listen fully and you’ll see the lunacy of it all. It’s almost like they’ve gotten the Dem talking points from the start (or perhaps it’s been the other way around).

Watch these videos, make note of the names and countries, and remember what they say about us behind our back.

From MEMRI’s site:

Since the attacks on September 11, 2001, The Middle East Media Research Institute has monitored, translated, and recorded what was said in the Arab and Iranian press about that day. Prominent journalists, members of academia, leading religious figures, and even Arab government officials helped shape conspiracies about what “really” happened.

The carefully documented collection is now available as a PDF and includes a compilation of articles and editorials from the mainstream Arabic and Persian language press, as well as transcripts from television programs.

A documentary film about the Arab and Iranian reaction to 9-11 incorporates footage from various TV and satellite stations in the Middle East. It was made with Interface Media Group and narrated by acclaimed actor Ron Silver.

I’ll end it with this quote from one of the films:

â€œWhen the twin towers collapsedâ€¦ My lungs filled with air and I breathed in relief, as I had never breathed before.”

Watch the videos in parts, here, here, here and here.

HotAir has a piece on this, and CounterterrorismBlog is covering more like this. Michelle Malkin is also blogging about the post-9/11 rejoicing in the Muslim world.
