Fox News: Wave spelt Allah

[Radioactive]

Brit Hume just run a news piece on Fox News showing a picture of a wave from the devastating Tsunami that looked like it spelt Allah. How pathetic is that? talk about bad taste, this has to be the most ridiculous news channel ever.

1. If you believe Mary is in grilled cheese you believe anything

That "news" channel is becoming as laughable as the National Enquirer.

[The Backlash Cometh]

2. Fox News specializes in innuendo news.

[gatorboy]

3. Didn't they justy chastise the DU...

For kooky conspiracy theories?

[Clark2008]

Fox has gone off the freakin' deep end - literally

I didn't see the episode, but I'm imagining they're showing those swirls that the wave produced when it sucked back out to sea to gather more strength for the second and/or third blows.

Allah looks like this:



I would REALLY like to see a wave that can produce those straight lines and crowns.

[Wonk]

8. Here's that picture of the wave to compare them

14. Looks more like the Nike emblem that got yanked

for looking too much like Allah:



Maybe God/Allah/Yahweh was warning against corporate fascism - but the corporate Fascist Organizational Network (FOX) wouldn't report that.

28. looks like "poochie" from the simpsons

to me





edit for pic

11. I SEE IT!!!

It's a big wave, and there are swimmers in it and one guy has lost his surfboard which is flying high above his head, and one woman to to right of him is putting her body in the shape of a "W" to pay homage to the Spiritual Leader of Texas and the Christian World, and I see the multitude waving their hands and shouting glory hallelujah! It's all so clear!

[David Zephyr]

4. Yeah. Now Back to Bashing Dan Rather and CBS!

5. Brit Hume?

or Droopy?



Wonder what HIS payola check looks like.

[Clark2008]

7. How dare you insult that sweet and brave doggie like that!

Comparing Droopy to Hume! You've gone too far!

:silly:

[Lenape85]

9. That's not very nice

Droopy will sue Hume for emulating him

[stevedeshazer]

21. Sincere apologies to Droopy fans everywhere

Droopy is the good-looking one.

[jmowreader]

32. So that's Brit Hume!

He looks very much like the anchorman in Batman did after Laura Bush The Joker poisoned all the makeup in Gotham--except for what was in Vicki Vale's bathroom, apparently.

[stevedeshazer]

34. LMAO!

Nice reference

[StClone]

6. FOX News is Oxycotin for Morons

Oxymoronic as it were.

[Artemis Bunyon]

10. World's Greatest Dad is at it again, eh?

With a prick like this for a father, no wonder his son committed suicide.

[eissa]

26. Ouch! n/t

[Beetwasher]

12. Frightening and Despicable Propoganda

I can't believe it's getting this bad and blatant and acceptable...

[RamboLiberal]

13. I can't believe it - but to be fair to Faux and Hume

A Muslim stated the wave was signed by Allah, not one of our fundies.

God signed his name in the December 26 tsunami and sent it as punishment because humans have been ignoring His laws, Sri Lankan Muslims say.

Proof, according to Mohamed Faizeen, manager of the Centre for Islamic Studies in Colombo, is a satellite picture taken seconds after the tsunami smashed into Sri Lanka's west coast near the town of Kalutara and as it was receding.

"This clearly spells out the name 'Allah' in Arabic," Faizeen said, pointing to the shape of the waves -- a gigantic "E" complete with whorls and sidewaves that do indeed appear to combine to resemble the Arabic script for the name "Allah".

[tx_dem41]

16. Thanks for the post...there's always another side to every story. n/t

[Clark2008]

18. So fundies the world over, no matter the religion, are creepy...

but we knew that. ;)

[tx_dem41]

20. A lot of creepy "non-religious" people too....

I believe creepiness knows no bounds.

23. The story was actually...

....about a Mullah on some Islamic web site claiming that he sees the word "Allah" spelled out in Arabic in the satellite picture of the waves and how this Mullah claims that this proves that the tsunami was sent as some sort of punishment from Allah. Leaving bits of pertinent information out to make those we despise look foolish often backfires. That's been part of the problem with getting our message out and accepted for awhile now.

CBS News's current situation is an excellent case in point. The truth of anything else in their story was lost because they cut corners and bypassed basic standards of journalism (ie. their failure to thoroughly vet their sources, not to mention the documents) in their zeal to get the story out quickly. So a story that should have been devastating to Bush wasn't and allowed some people to even think it looked bad for our side. Not good.

[theresistance]

27. It depends how Fox reported it...

Did they make it clear they were reporting on what some Muslim claimed?

[WillowTree]

36. Yes, he did.

Otherwise I wouldn't have known that that's what the story had been about.

[Catherine Vincent]

39. You must like Faux News....

[newyawker99]

35. Hi Willow Tree!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[WillowTree]

37. Thanks for the nice welcome, newyawker99 !

I 'preciate it. 8-)

[KC21304]

24. Reminds me of the story of the pilgrims

coming to a farm in rural Texas from far and wide because it was said there was the image of Jesus on the side of the barn, each day becoming more apparent. Until after one good gully-washer, what really became apparent was an old Willy Nelson concert poster.

[spanone]

25. .........And to think that Brit Hume once appeared to have a brain.

[Nitrogenica]

29. *Breaking News* There's were some lumps under *'s shirt that

spell the word "LIAR"

[Onlooker]

30. The new Hearst

Murdoch is trying to expand the war. He has all the pieces in place: an ignorant President; a desperate people; big business. Murdoch is using his station to stir up hatred.

[theresistance]

33. Interesting analogy...

"You provide the pictures, I'll provide the war"...

[Endangered Specie]

31. ah huh, and since when did Tsunamis form right angles?

:crazy:

[donheld]

38. Fox is becoming to journalism

what the National Enquirer is to truth.

[rooboy]

40. I KNEW I was wrong to believe in Jesus....

All Hail J!!!
All Hail J!!!
