FINALLY
From FOXNews correspondent Amy Kellog:
The show is called "Death Making" in Arabic, hardly the way Al Qaeda probably wants itself described.
But that is how the powerful pan-Arabic satellite channel Al Arabiya casts the terror organization and its foot soldiers in its popular television program.
"As we know, there are lots of Muslims who are brainwashed so they believe in terrorism but there are also big sections of Muslims who sympathize with terrorists," says Salha. "We are targeting those people and trying to explain to them that terrorism is not a good thing."
It is a unique program that lets jihadists tell their stories, and then shows the results of their actions.
We all have heard the glowing praises in the media and from DC of what an awesome religion Islam is, all the "Religion of Peace" nonsense, and one thing has been on my mind since 9/11: When will the so-called mainstream Muslims denounce the actions of what they claim are fanatic fundamentalists?
Ever since that fateful Tuesday when 3000+ innocent men and women lost their lives on American soil, I have read up on Islam. It is not, at its root, a "peaceful" religion, nor was their prophet Mohammed a particularly nice guy; he was, by any rational person's perspective, a genocidal lunatic. Throughout the Qur'an, Mohammed makes rules for his followers, claiming it as the Will of Allah. He then, almost without fail, does the exact opposite of his own edicts, but that's okay; that's also the Will of Allah, turning this entire religion into one big game of Calvinball. Some of the more "peaceful" edicts? Death to Jews and Christians. The Taqiyya (wherein a Muslim can tell any lie, even denounce Islam, so long as it tricks the enemy.) Forced conversion to Islam on pain of death or Dhimmitude (a form of slavery so oppressive, that many Dhimmis had no choice but to convert.) Female circumcision by clitorectomy. Child molestation. Rape. Murder. Robbery. Beating one's wife, daughter, or sister to death. Stonings. Whippings. Defenestration (the practice of throwing people off buildings.) Mutilation.
All perfectly fine practices, under most circumstances in Islam.
I am sure there are many good people who follow Islam, who harbor no great hatred in their hearts. My kids' pediatrician is one of them. Which makes it even more difficult to understand why Muslims have been so reluctant to shun and denounce those who would commit acts of terror.
And now, finally, it seems we have at least a few brave souls willing to risk their lives to do so. Rima Salha is a woman; in that women are treated as less than cattle in these cultures (and strangely, no outcry from NOW), to dare speak out against al Qaeda is bravery times a thousand. The lovely Ms. Salha makes Audie Murphy look like Ichabod Crane.
And we should all salute this brave lady. Find her e-mail address and send your support, dear readers. Of all the people on this planet, she may be the most deserving.
Her hands must be freaking HUGE

Wilson makes me a shame to be a veteran. I am retired and I respected my chain of command. For you to disrespect our President in that type of setting is a disgrace to you. I hope your political future is over. Please just go back to SC and enjoy your family for the rest of your life. What is wrong with that State, the political figures are an embarrassment to the nation. I am so happy I do not live there.
