"Effort seeks to show young Muslims of France another side of US; Small groups soften opinions after taking tour" by Katrin Bennhold, International Herald Tribune | May 28, 2008
CLICHY-SOUS-BOIS, France - .... During recent months, all three joined the small but growing ranks of young minority leaders in Europe invited to the United States on 21-day, tailor-made trips organized by the US State Department - tours that softened their view of a superpower generally distrusted and disliked in their communities....
Gee, why wouldn't Muslims like the U.S. (blog author types in disbelief)?
American embassies have been instructed to court second- and third-generation immigrants from North Africa, Turkey, or Pakistan. The International Visitor Leadership program, whose past beneficiaries included President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain, have sharpened a focus on young Muslims....
Setting up the next 9/11 patsies, 'eh?
And look at the Globalists, huh?
Between 25 and 30 French citizens are chosen each year to go on the US program; since the 2005 rioting, about a dozen have been of Muslim origin.
Reaction even to this modest outreach illustrates how sensitive it is.
After a Paris newspaper ran a front-page story last month listing a few cultural projects financed by the US Embassy, indignation erupted. "The CIA in the suburbs" read the banner during a documentary by the public broadcaster France 2. The left-leaning magazine Marianne warned of an "American takeover of Arabs and blacks."
James Bullock, head of public affairs at the US Embassy in Paris, noted that the cultural program typically helped up to 100 projects a year with grants worth between $1,000 and $5,000....
I'm glad Americans did not need that money for anything -- like crumbling roads or schools, mortgage payments, etc.
Naw, we are fine eating government shit!!!
By the way, readers, this is all based on BULLSHIT!!!
9/11 was a CIA/Mossad INSIDE JOB, and the WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT!!
"Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, has told Italy’s oldest and most widely read newspaper that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies."
When the newspaper, Le Parisien, widely read in the suburbs, wrote about his trip, Zahi's photo appeared opposite an article alleging that the CIA was recruiting in the suburbs and a cartoon of a Muslim using a US flag as his prayer mat.
Naw, AmeriKa would NEVER do anything like that!!!
All three men said they learned as much about France as the United States as a result of the program.
"It would be funny if it wasn't so serious - people saying we are agents," Zeribi said. "When did anyone ever accuse any of the white French politicians on that program of working for the CIA?"
Well, Sarkozy is working for Israel, but WHY would a Zionist-controlled AmeriKan War Daily report such information?
They NEVER DO because they are about PUSHING AGENDAS -- like this "terrorism" bullshit -- not reporting "news" and "information."
