The American congress; Arab media charter

A draft res­o­lu­tion rep­re­sented to the U.S. con­gress to clas­sify some Arab media as ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tions incit­ing vio­lence against the United States.

Res­o­lu­tion 1308 also asks to clas­sify satel­lites that pro­vide ser­vice for these chan­nels or per­sons as ter­ror­ist orga­ni­za­tions, such as Nile­sat and Arabsat.

The Amer­i­can politi­cian “Bili­rakis” who came up with this idea urged Gov­ern­ments through­out the Mid­dle East and U.S. allies to issue extend an offi­cial and pub­lic con­dem­na­tion of those respon­si­ble for incit­ing vio­lence against the Amer­i­cans and the United States.”

It is very inter­est­ing list of chan­nels, also inter­est­ing to read the name of Muq­tada Al-Sadr media advi­sor “Al-Marwani” included by Al-Manar:

Al-Aqsa [Pales­tine, Hamas]

Al-Manar [Lebanon, Hezbol­lah]

Al-Alam [Iran, in Ara­bic]

Al-Zawra [Iraq, dead chan­nel, why in the list??]

Al-Rafidayn [Iraq, AMSI]

The Arab Media Char­ter con­tains the fol­low­ing A to E points and the Amer­i­can added the F point:

A– Not to offend the lead­ers or national and reli­gious sym­bols in the Arab world.

B– Not to dam­age social har­mony, national unity, pub­lic order or tra­di­tional values.

C– To con­form with the reli­gious and eth­i­cal val­ues of Arab soci­ety and take account of its fam­ily structure.

D– To refrain from broad­cast­ing any­thing which calls into ques­tion God, the monothe­is­tic reli­gions, the prophets, sects or sym­bols of the var­i­ous reli­gious communities.

E– To pro­tect Arab iden­tity from the harm­ful effects of globalization.
