Hatem on the O'Reilly Factor

Hatem Bazian (see here, here, here, and in the Berkeley Archive) appeared on the O'Reilly Factor on Monday. Click here for a transcript.

Bazian claimed to never have said "The Day of Judgment will not happen until the trees and stones will say, ‘O Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him[,]" a quote is attributed to him in Steve Emerson's book American Jihad.

Bazian claimed that he was calling for a non-violent political intifada in his speech.

Bazian claimed to "condemn terrorism throughout" and to "condemn all acts of violence that were targeted at civilians, regardless of who does it" although he seemed to refuse to condemn Hamas and Hezbollah by name. Likewise, he claimed to have condemned al-Qaida after September 11th, although he did not mentioned the name, and quickly changed the subject.

I wouldn't believe a word of what he said.

Just reading up on some of this lately, was interesting.
