Conflict of civilisations... or interest??

Much has been whipped up over the so-called 'Ground Zero Mosque', which is not at Ground Zero in New York, nor is a mosque. One of the outlets fuelling this mountain out of a molehill is that comedy show, oops 'fair and balanced' Fox News.

On the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends last week, it was revealed that the Kingdom Foundation, main financiers of the 'Ground Zero Mosque' otherwise known as the 'Cordoba Center', is a dangerous Saudi organisation that, according to guest Dan Senor, funds radical madrassas and has also funded Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam at the heart of the "Ground Zero Mosque" controversy.

Unmentionned by Fox, but revealed by Jon Stewart, is that the Kingdom Foundation is run by Al-Waleed bin Talal, who also happens to be...one of the NewsCorp's largest shareholders (Fox's parent company).

Now this puts an interesting spin on things.
