XXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX TUE MAY 17, 2005 11:01:28 ET XXXXX
NEWSWEEK ISIKOFF TOLD RESIGNATION WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED
**Exclusive**
NEWSWEEK's top executives and editors are standing firm behind reporter Michael Isikoff after the magazine retracted his story that U.S. investigators found evidence interrogators at Guantanamo Bay desecrated the Quran.
"Mike was told he would not be sacrificed, we are standing behind him 100%," a top magazine source told the DRUDGE REPORT. "We do not, I repeat, do not let this White House, any White House, make our staff decisions for us."
The top NEWSWEEK executive claims an emotional Isikoff offered to resign from the magazine over the weekend, in a gesture to cool off the international situation.
Isikoff's Guantanamo article was blamed for inciting riots in the Muslim world, where at least 17 people were killed in the ensuing violence.

White House staffers suspect Isikoff's source for the Quran report was from congress, not from the administration.
Isikoff said in a published interview Tuesday morning: "Whenever something like this happens, you've got to take stock and review what you did - how the story was handled. The big point that leaps out is the cultural one. Neither NEWSWEEK nor the Pentagon foresaw that a reference to the desecration of the Koran was going to create the kind of response that it did. The Pentagon saw the item before it ran, and then they didn't move us off it for 11 days afterward. They were as caught off guard by the furor as we were. We obviously blame ourselves for not understanding the potential ramifications."

Meanwhile, White House press secretary Scott McClellan said a retraction was only "a good first step" and said NEWSWEEK should try to set the record straight by "clearly explaining what happened and how they got it wrong, particularly to the Muslim world, and pointing out the policies and practices of our military."
Daniel Klaidman, NEWSWEEK's Washington bureau chief, said Tuesday in an interview on CBS that the magazine will "continue to look at how we put together this story, learn from mistakes that we've made and make improvements that are appropriate as we go along."

Muslim around the world includeing the 10 million in America Muslim donot buy Newweek taken the stroy back. Too many muslim that where release said they saw the Koran flush drown the toil by america military ******* in unfroim..
There are 10 million muslim in America as CAIR did than study
of America Islamist Center Membership in 2000 which show since only 25% of the member show up for firday prayer . So than 7 million to 8 million number is reasoning estimate of Muslim in America. The CIA World Fact Book it complete inaccurate and worthless of Muslim only being 1% of the America Population. USA estimate 3.5 % of the America population is muslim. They did this for thet Tibal Wave story in South Asia. America population is about 298 million people
. While China has a 35% muslim population Muslim woman in China donot have to wear the headscraf or muslim woman clothing to make the Government there happy that there are
hartly any muslim in China, the government there no the truth and allow muslim to workship free unlike the Christian in China who have toublle with the government there.

If the US had a 3% muslim population then it would be three times as large as Jews or Native Americans. That just doesn't pass the reality test nor does your claim that there are 400 million muslims in China. |
3% of 298,000,000 is 8,940,000 which abit more than the number of Jew in america wich is about 7,000,000. The CIA World Fact Book have alot of outdate fact in it. Local politian are now comeing to Islamist center durning election to talk to voter, local potician are aware of change pattern of the local area. In Chioage the city major alway attend Muslim holiday event as almost all of 600,000 muslim there are voter they mayor is Roma Chat, the police chief, fire chief and all city counil member show up as well. Black Muslin are now recognite by America muslim and Saudi Arabia as being in the muslim commity.
Mao didnot like the traditson religion of China( buddhistism and other old Chinese religion) make China than backward nation, Mao hated Christian for rapeing China in the 19th century and the first have of the 20th century. Moa turn to the muslim for educrate scinceist and enginner and treacher to modorise China. He sign than treaty with Pakistan to settle than minor land problem and to have than over entry point of trade with the outside world, part of the agreement was that China will recognite Islam as than religion inside of China and Islam is the religion recongite by the Chinese without any touble. China still doesnot recongice the Holy Seer in Roma.

Most Chinese look down upon Muslims as many of them come from the western regions. As one person said to me recently, "They are only good for cooking meat on a stick." The Urghurs are especially treated this way and are quick to be labelled terrorists in Xinjiang for doing nothing but holding meetings for discussion.
Christianity is looked upon more favorably and is growing among the more well-to-do Chinese. This is partial because of the image created by those westerners who come to China and practice as compared to Muslims in China. While the Muslims in China are a poor second class society, westerners often come here because of specialized skills to offer and live a more fascinating lifestyle, at least in the eyes of many Chinese. |
You are so wrong. First the Muslim never harm china the way Christian did. Near the Pakistian border with China there are many muslim. The land in dispute between China and Pakistian is 90% muslim hightly train people which Mao was happy to have. Than Chinese Muslim Sciencist help China built they first nuclear bomb and missiles. The Culture Rev by Mao was aim against the Buddhist, traditson Chinese Religions and Christian. The Muslim and Hindist where left alone. You will find it very hard to tell muslim apart as they can dress in western clothes and talk
English very well. El Paso have other 5000 muslim and yet you will see no proof visual of muslim being in El Paso. Muslim woman will dress in modest western style clothing
only afew wear the entire Hijab in public one of then is very old from Egypt. Than idiot on than other board which I willnot name show satalie picture of Chinese people say he see no Hijab on the woman. First the picture prove nothing as I said before than Muslim woman can dress to blend in with her surrounding. That why I conside almost CIA operate supid for beliveing satile picture as there are limitlation on infro you can gain from them . There are about 1500 Hindist in El Paso builting they Temple. Many are Hindist woman marriage to Muslim man from India who move here to live, some Hindist man marry muslim woman and move here. There are about 2000 Buddhist in El Paso builting they temple also. Only in Europe are muslim woman encought to wear the Hijab in public opening as Europe Christian Population is drying out due to low birth rate like Japanese are slowly dieing due to low birthrate.
Whinin 20 to 30 year Europe will be mostly muslim control.
Since everybody in El Paso know I than Muslim one Born Again Christian ask what is Islamist food is so he willnot eat Islamist food. At the lowest level of Islamist law you cannot drink any alchol unless it is in medine, or you cannot eat pork meat. Islamist food can be all beef and all turket hot dog, all beef or turkey handburger. You should see the look on his face as he cannot eat pork as his Christian sect doesnot allow eating pork and due to his badly damage liver due to drink too much alcohol drinking so he cannot drink any alcohol drink at all. A lot of Chinese food like rice and beans are Islantist food also.

I think that is actually the percentage of Chinese who've ever heard of Muslims.
