Word to Obama – Daniel Pearl Beheaded Because He Was an American & a Jew
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, May 18, 2010, 5:20 AM
Daniel Pearl was not beheaded because he was a journalist.
Daniel Pearl was beheaded by Islamic extremists because he was an American and a Jew.
“My name is Daniel Pearl, I am a Jewish-American.”
On February 21, 2002, a videotape was released titled The Slaughter of the Spy-Journalist, the Jew Daniel Pearl. The text from the video reads in Arabic: “My name is (Daniel Pearl), I am a Jewish-American.”
Yesterday Barack Obama signed the toothless Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act of 2009 named in honor of the Wall Street Journal reporter who was killed by terrorists in 2002. The bill promotes press freedom. The president declined to take questions from the media at the signing event.
Jennifer Rubin at Contentions Blog pointed out that Barack Obama forgot to mention that Daniel Pearl was murdered by Islamic extremists.
At a signing ceremony for the Freedom of Press Act, it is ironic and shameful that Obama could not bring himself to identify the killers who beheaded the man who fearlessly reported on the jihadist terrorists. Obama had this to say:
All around the world there are enormously courageous journalists and bloggers who, at great risk to themselves, are trying to shine a light on the critical issues that the people of their country face; who are the frontlines against tyranny and oppression. And obviously the loss of Daniel Pearl was one of those moments that captured the world’s imagination because it reminded us of how valuable a free press is, and it reminded us that there are those who would go to any length in order to silence journalists around the world. What this act does is it sends a strong message from the United States government and from the State Department that we are paying attention to how other governments are operating when it comes to the press. It has the State Department each year chronicling how press freedom is operating as one component of our human rights assessment, but it also looks at countries that are — governments that are specifically condoning or facilitating this kind of press repression, singles them out and subjects them to the gaze of world opinion in ways that I think are extraordinarily important.
That’s not all Barack Obama forgot to mention.
Obama also omitted the fact that Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, the Islamic terrorist who beheaded Daniel Pearl, could have cared less about his press credentials.
Photos of Daniel Pearl were released by Pakistani terrorists, along with a horrific video showing his decapitation.
After the Islamic radicals murdered Daniel Pearl they released a video of his beheading. This text was included:
“My name is Daniel Pearl. I am a Jewish American from Encino, California USA. I come from, uh, on my father’s side the family is Zionist. My father’s Jewish, my mother’s Jewish, I’m Jewish. My family follows Judaism. We’ve made numerous family visits to Israel. Back in the town of Bnei Brak there is a street named after my great grandfather Chaim Pearl who is one of the founders of the town.”
Obviously, the terrorists were not as concerned about Pearl’s writing as much as his Jewish blood line. But, when you are incapable of understanding who we are fighting and when you are unwilling to utter the words “Islamic radicalism” then you tend to make these kind of mistakes.

Watched the video of his murder. This is one of the reasons I am such a hard ass. They did not cut his head off. They sawed it off with a dull knife. He probably drown in his own blood. Horriffic, these are two legged animals living in the 8th century. I have no respect for them nor thier culture (lack of it).
These people are a cancer in a civil society and must be eradicated. Obama is just and elite snob muslim.
powder is dry. protect yourself, your elected leaders will not.

The idea of BO doing anything, esp signing a piece of paper to honor Daniel Pearl makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. The only thing more disgusting would have been Holder standing there.
Mark1957 commented:
There is no question that Daniel Pearl was murdered because he was Jewish, just as there is no doubt that Iran will nuke Israel if they are allowed to build a nuclear missile. They must be stopped.

Mr President, it wasn’t a country that killed Daniel Pearl.

+1 MC, Islam is not compatable with modern , peaceful civilization. As a Christian I can’t imagine treating anyone, no matter how bad their offense, in such a way. At least not yet.
Kevin P commented:
Imagine if there were a videotape of altar boys “beheading” a dog in the same manner.
What would the govertment/press script be?
Dixie commented:
Was Obama talking about other country’s practicing supression of the press or his own plans to do so?
The man makes no sense to me at all.
kate commented:

THANK YOU!
PJ commented:
So at a bill signing for a free press, Comrade O refuses to talk to the press.
Guess none of the media there saw the irony of that.
Dianne commented:
UHey Michelle….Guess what? I’m not ashamed of my country…….I’m proud as can be, but I’m ashamed of my government……..especially Ur husband….B.O. He has no right to say “Daniel Pearl’s” name in a sentence. God help us…..we’re being led to the slaughter!
Marsh commented:
How DARE the leftist neo-communist Obama regime lecture the world on press freedom after he attempted to BAN Fox News from exposing the radical anti-American Marxist agenda of his regime. And then he spits on the countless millions of victims of islamofascism around the world by pretending islamofascism doesn’t even exist.
Take your socialist regime back to North Korea you traitors.

Whoa! Who says this guy is a foppish gasbagging prissypants!
He calls out Daniel Pearl’s slaughterers – well no, not by name or ideology but… and actually he identifies beheading as ‘press repression’… but he does threaten to subject them to the ‘gaze of world opinion’! And in ways that are ‘extraordinarily important’!
Hoo boy! They’re in for it now!

The only persons head that should roll (pun intended)should be the liar in chief obamas…used to say that no man ever should have to go through what daniel pearl had to go through…….but now seeing what this moron obamas doing im having second thoughts.
Feeney commented:
This is crucial. This is the tipping point. The beheading of Daniel Pearl and others showed all Americans that we were dealing with a barbaric enemy. The fact that Obama would try to turn this horror into a media event about “journalism” is disgusting. Disgusting!
