George Noory is part Arab

I always found his politics to be pro-Muslim.

So. He still puts on a good show and has interesting subjects. I liked Art Bell better. He was pretty liberal but still had interesting subjects on his show.

His show is horrible. It's not entertaining.

Originally I thought that his show was going to be a dud but I like it. Art Bell Seems to like him. If Art did not like him Art would not have chose him as his replacement.  If the show was horrible he would be off the air. So there are people listening to his program. According to estimates by Talkers Magazine, Coast to Coast AM draws approximately 3 million listeners, making it the most listened-to program in its time slot.

I mean, who can turn off the radio and go to bed when the subject is Alien Bigfoots creating crop circles to signal UFOs to blanket the sky with chemtrails, which makes everyone see the Shadow people. I'm talking real entertainment there.

Who cares if he is Muslim.I remember Art making harsh statements in the years when he was on the air. He puts on a good show. You are correct its entertaining listening to people who are in psudo science. Obviously he is doing a good job of it because 3 million people listen to him every night over 570 stations. I prefer Art Bell over George.

It's important that he's part Arab, because it explains his pro-Muslim Middle Eastern stance. I don't think Art Bell likes the job Noory is doing.

"I guess it is about time to straighten a few things out. I had no input or voice into the choice of George Noory as Host...none. He recently, after Dark Matter was announced dropped my name from mention then he says put it back because it was the right thing to do, nonsense, he did it so he could stop open line callers from being cut off because they kept trying to mention my new show. That is why he announced it. I wanted my name dropped from the show as well as my Saturday shows stopped to be blunt because I hated the direction the show had taken and no longer wanted to be associated with it. George is I am sure a nice guy BUT he has become lazy and does not pay attention. I am sorry to be so blunt but that's how I feel. I hope what little competition I can provide will cause him to up his game."

He is still entertaining and has 3 million listeners every night. He is in the number 6 slot in the radio talk show hosts. If you do not like him or his politics just turn off the radio. All you need is to flip the switch or  turn the knob to the off position.

Honestly, this is a silly topic. Who cares what Americans are part Arab. It doesn't make them any less loyal to this country or any less of a good citizen. Hell, Danny Thomas is on this list.    Making a big deal of who's on this list could be construed as racist by some.
As far as George Noory and Art bell before him - On nights when its hard to fall asleep, their shows are always good entertainment, regardless of how off the wall the topic was. In fact the more crazy the topic, the better the callers to the show.

Being Arab or not is not an absolute indicator of anything. His stances on the ME do not necessarily have anything to do with who his parents are. There are Arabs and non-Arabs on all sides of these issues.

Also, Muslims are far too large a group of people to say something like "He's pro-Muslim." What exactly does that even mean? There are 100 different ways you could be pro-Muslim depending on what exactly you're talking about. I am pro-Muslim in that I believe the vast majority of them are decent and moral people that want to live good lives. Being outright anti-Muslim would just make you a bigot. We need to stop letting extremist minorities cloud our judgment.

First of all, he has 3 million listeners, because he has no competition. Secondly, you said Art Bell chose Noory as his replacement when he didn't. Thirdly, you say I should turn the dial....you could say the same thing about conservatives complaining about liberals on tv. As far as Noory being part Arab, I'm just pointing out that it may shed light on why his Middle Eastern stance is what it is. One of the few times that Noory stated that he disagreed with a guest's views was when Glenn Beck was on. The audio is here,

You sound like a Republican beltway type. Noory's pro-Muslim views pertain to news stories involving the U.S. and Israel in Middle Eastern conflicts.

Right if you don't like is radio show shut it off. No one is forcing you to listen to his show with a gun to your head. You have the freedom to choose whether to listen to him. This is not Russia.  There are many shows I do not like and I go to another program and push a button. If you want to listen to more radio/satellite station buy a Sirius XM station. There are many radio/satellite stations there

I work with 3 Iranians and 1 Afghani . All born and schooled  in those countries, finishing their college degrees here. And all Christian and very good people. I have no reason to fear people because of the color of their skin or family origin. I thought we left that racist nonsense behind us when the last Japanese American left the internment camps.

Why are you reading my thread?

I am responding to your ill informed answers.  Syria which is a Arabic dictatorship has a heavy Christian population. They have been in Syria for over 2000 years(33 A.D). If you read your Bible the first mentioning of the Christians in Syria is in the book of Acts. Also the first to convert there were Jews in the Damascus area. Saint Paul spent many years that area.Arab Christians, forming Greek Orthodox (including Arab Orthodox) and Latin Christian communities, are estimated to be 2,300,000 in Syria, a 400,000 in Jordan and an equal number or more among the Palestinian Arab population and within the Arab-Israeli population combined.The Arab Christians largely belong to the Greek Orthodox or Antiochian Orthodox Churches, though there are also adherents to other churches: Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Latin Catholic Church, and Protestant Churches

Well said!!!

Thing is - you had left it behind. Almost, this stuff takes time. Even the '08 election was an indicator that the color/origin based crap was pretty much gone, and about time too. Then look what happened. I sometimes think this is one heck of an acid flashback to the 60's.

George Noory is Roman Catholic, according to his biography.

http://www.conservapedia.com/George_Noory

Quote
George Noory served nine years in the United States Naval Reserve as a full Lieutenant. Noory is a Roman Catholic of Lebanese descent
On various shows George has in various ways let it be known that he believes in God and that God is all knowing and powerful. George has encouraged prayer for various persons.


Quote
Noory's family is said to be of Lebanese Christian descent and his father was born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1922. According to Noory, he was brought up as a Roman Catholic and his mother was a devout Catholic

You are absolutely correct. He is even mentioned in a conservative website.

Concerning the issue of Art Bell:

On March 10, 2007, Noory introduced Art Bell for his Lifetime Achievement Award from "Radio & Records," the radio industry trade journal.The next week he replayed his introductory speech and Art Bell's acceptance speech. Noory revealed that although he has worked for Coast to Coast AM since 2001, that night was the first time he had met Art Bell in person.

There is a lot of ignorance in America I'm afraid about the middle east, and the people who live there.   There are Christians there. Lots of them, even in places like Iraq and Iran. Good people no more a threat to you than the family siting in the pew in front of you at church. In fact they may dress and look not much different than the family in that pew.

I agree. They practice in faith according to the laws in those countries and the governments leave them alone. According to Acts 2:9 in the Acts of the Apostles there were Persians, Parthians and Medes among the very first new Christian converts at Pentecost. Since then there has been a continuous presence of Christians in Iran.The government guarantees the recognized Christian minorities a number of rights (production and sale of non-halal foods), representation in parliament, special family law.The Christians of Iraq are considered to be one of the oldest surviving continuous Christian communities in the world. These are Christians who are Arabs.

My co-worker, an Iranian girl who is Christian just held a wedding for her daughter. Her Iranian relatives flew in from all over the country and many flew in from Iran. Seeing the wedding photos  and photos of all the people (Iranian people) sure destroys the myth that they are all fanatical turban wearing bearded minions of the Ayatollah. It was nothing like that, at all.

Arab governments only ask the Christians to abide by "rules of the road" and they will be left alone. As you have mentioned the Iranian community have left alone and the Christians live there in an Islamic state .  These governments cannot wipe out communities that have been there for 2000 years. Look at the Coptic Christian Community in Egypt, they have been relatively been allowed to practice their faith for 2000 years. In Syria, Christians engage in every aspect of Syrian life.

My co-worker, an Iranian girl who is Christian just held a wedding for her daughter. Her Iranian relatives flew in from all over the country and many flew in from Iran. Seeing the wedding photos  and photos of all the people (Iranian people) sure destroys the myth that they are all fanatical turban wearing bearded minions of the Ayatollah. It was nothing like that, at all.

Exactly. They are usually just people. Most good, some you wouldn't trust near your wallet, some you would trust with gold bars but not your wife.

Just because someone is "Arab" that does not necessarily mean he or she will be pro-Muslim.  Many Arabs are Christians, particularly Arab-Americans who descended from parents and grandparents who were running from Muslim persecution in their old countries.  I myself am one such American.  I am half Lebanese.  My father's maternal grandfather and my father's father immigrated here from what was then Syrian Beirut.  They were both Christians.

The list of Arab Americans on the Wikipedia link includes quite a few who were born Christians, including Steve Jobs, Ralph Nader, Donna Shalala, Marlo Thomas, etc.  Regrettably, quite a few Lebanese are liberals, including in my own family.  But they are not Muslims by any means.

The difference between the Lebanese and the Israelis is that the Lebanese have tended to negotiate with the pirates, whereas the Israelis have resisted them.  Both strategies have their advantages and disadvantages.  But neither has been decisive, at least so far.

After leaving jail, I spent a couple of months in a half-way house. The only TV was in main room. When I went to my bunk every night I had a radio tuned to Noory. He put me sleep every night for two months. Loved his show most of the time. It was entertaining.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

I unfriended the site on Facebook because it was just too over the top at times.

I work with 3 Iranians and 1 Afghani . All born and schooled  in those countries, finishing their college degrees here. And all Christian and very good people. I have no reason to fear people because of the color of their skin or family origin. I thought we left that racist nonsense behind us when the last Japanese American left the internment camps.

I didn't say anything about Muslims as a whole. I said that Noory's Middle Eastern views maybe shaped by his Arab ancestry.
