News › AL JAZEERAH WEBSITE MIRROR HOSTED IN U.S.

Taking a look at the new Al Jazeerah English 'Mirror' website at www.aljazeerah.info (keep in mind that the 'official' English site is supposed to be at http://english.aljazeera.net but has never appeared) several things stand out that bother me. AJ is obviously biased against the West and in many intelligence circles has been labled as a mouthpiece for many terrorist groups at best and at worst a method of communication between these same groups. Read on to see what our investigation turned up.

Ok, first we do a 'whois' lookup to see who owns the domain name, a couple of things stand out:

Dalton, GA eh? In the Social Sciences Division of who? Reading a little further down we see his email address is helnajjar@em.daltonstate.edu which is Dalton State University, http://www.daltonstate.edu.

Hosted by Affinity Internet, which in this case is Value Web. How about a traceroute?

(first several hops removed for security)

13,207.36.15.71,43ms

What is interesting is that after a few traceroutes I was no longer able to access their content, the server was accessible as I was getting a 403 (access not permitted) so it wasn't a firewall rule blocking me. I wonder if someone hacked the site or if it was just technical issues?

So who is Hassan Elnajjar?

Hassan Ali El-Najjar is an Arab American who was born in Gaza, Palestine, in 1950. He received his Ph.D. in Sociology in 1993 and his Master's degree in Cultural Anthropology, in 1988, from the University of Georgia. He is an Associate Professor at Dalton State College where he has been working since 1991. He teaches three introductory courses to Cultural Anthropology, Sociology, and Marriage and Family.

Even though he is teaching Sociology and Anthropology it looks as if Dr. Elnajjar has some radical views.

Was (or is?) the Webmaster for the Lebanese Student Association at the University of Michigan.

Letter written by him on his views about U.S. politics towards the Middle East: http://www.aljazeerah.info/Hassan%20El-Najjar/american_foreign_policy_in_the_m.htm

An article written by him while at the University of Georgia, Athen in 1993: http://www.cicred.ined.fr/rdr/rdr_a/revues/revue67-68/11-67-68_a.html do a search for 'Hassan' and it will scroll to the article.

You can Google 'Hassan Elnajjar' and find that he tends to bounce from school to school and his views are definately, let's say, Pro Arab.

Some may ask 'so what?', 'freedom of speech applies'. While I agree that freedom of speech applies and that Dr. Elnajjar has the right to speak his mind I have to wonder if his background and connections with various groups don't put him beyond freedom of speech and involve him directly with certain Terror groups. Only our Intelligence Agencies would know for sure.

Why is it that our Universities are breeding grounds for subversive types of dialogue and activities today? I realize they are staunch proponents for freedom of speech but one has to wonder if they don't take things too far by providing a platform for those that may not be true educators but rather for those that would take advantage of their positions to further their 'causes' instead of their 'teachings'. What better mouthpiece could Hizbollah, Islamic Jihad or the PLO have than a 'respected' University Proffesor in the U.S. to mold public opinion via the young minds that have entered our Universities and Colleges? Keep in mind that the 'proffessors' and 'mullahs' are often one in the same in the Middle East.

Are our Universities peforming sufficient 'due diligence' in vetting the Proffesors to make sure they are educating and not just being a mouthpiece to further causes for groups that mean to do harm to Americans?

Should Dalton State and Dr. Elnajjar be harrassed? No, not just yet. But I would like to see what they have to say about much of the content on aljazeerah.info as there is an abundance of not just anti-American content but subversive content as well.

Freedom of speech is fine by me. However, I'm not sure I followed the trace correctly. Is this domain a part of Dalton State, if the domain is registered in their name? I wonder what the good people of the State of Georgia would think about their tax dollars being unwittingly used to forward a foreign news site pf the nature of AJ?

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." - General George S Patton

REMEMBER 9-11

"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom...crouch down and lick the hands, which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"

Samuel Adams
