I'm sorry for your torturous path to disillusionment, but you simply can't
get around the fact that those are actual broadcasts that were beamed
into Middle East homes on the dates and by the stations provided. No
one else needs to propagandize against them - just let them speak for
themselves; their own actual words reveal their bilous hatred and their
commitment to infecting their infants with it much more effectively than
anything a propagandist could manufacture.
You complain when I post not my words, but their own.
