The story comes to us from the Nashville Scene thanks to one of our many informants from Tennessee.
If you are a regular reader here at RRW, this won’t come as a surprise as Nashville (thanks to Catholic Charities) is a hub of activity for Muslim immigrants. Often referred to as the Kurdish Capital of America it is also home to a growing Somali population.
For new readers curious about Nashville, note that it is so important to the Islamic Doctrine of Immigration that we have a whole category here (46 previous posts!) on the city and its immigrant issues. (I believe Islamists especially want to stick-it to a city representing the Bible Belt of America).
The Nashville Scene sanitizes Al Jazeera (no surprise):
Nashville will be home to one of 12 Al Jazeera America hubs across the country, according to a bureau list from the network, obtained by Politico media reporter Dylan Byers.
You may remember, Al Jazeera — the news network owned by the government of Qatar — is coming to America after purchasing Al Gore’s Current TV at the end of last year. The network has often been highly controversial in the states, as many Americans associate it with airing Al Qaeda home videos on its Arabic-language station. More recently, though, it has gained credibility in journalistic circles, particularly after its coverage of the Arab Spring protests. [Really now! Just a little spin—ed]
