MEMRI is a critically important source of news from the Middle East for anyone who cares about the future of civilization. For more than six years, this non-profit organization based in Washington D.C. has brought to a global audience the English translations of Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, Hebrew and other Middle Eastern news, speeches, broadcasts, textbooks and even television series such as the anti-Semitic "Horseman Without a Horse" broadcast in Egypt during Ramadan several years ago. Thanks to MEMRI, the hateful pronouncements of Islamic leaders like Yusuf al-Qaradawi (Qatar-based Muslim Brotherhood leader, chairman of Islam Online and proponent of wife beating and suicide bombing) and Al Azhar University professor Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed al-Tantawi of Cairo, have become commonly known to Western audiences. It is no longer possible, thanks to MEMRI, to claim that supposed "moderates" like Tariq Ramadan or the late Zaki Badawi, a British proponent of a global Islamic caliphate, really are so meek and mild as claimed. In addition to the hatred spewed by Osama bin Laden before and after 9/11, MEMRI has translated the remarks of Arab and Muslim leaders worldwide, exposing the nearly universal support for global jihad promoted regularly not only in Arab state government and Palestinian Authority media, but also by "moderate" Western Muslims as well. Read MEMRI regularly, or better yet, subscribe to all of its email services, to a full view of the state of Islam. To its great discredit, the mainstream media almost never consults, much less reports upon, this source, which is but one of a mounting array of reasons that the mainstream press is by and large a megaphone for radical Islam. But thankfully, MEMRI is now known far and wide, and the public is wising up, even if mainstream reporters are not. --Alyssa A. Lappen

If I didnt see the Twin Towers fall with my own eyes, I wouldnt believe that newspapers in the Middle East would publish such hateful rhetoric about the U.S. These guys deserve a big thanks for what they do. Check out the Saudi and Iran pages. Ridiculous!!!

MEMRI is an invaluable resource for people who REALLY want to know what is being said in the Arab media.

Anyone interested in Memri should do a little research into who is behind the organization. (...) Although I do not deny the hate and vitriol coming about of the Arab media, I do question the motives of this 'non-profit' organization and the way it selectively translates news to show Arabs in the worst possible light. None the less it does serve an important function, as long as one tempers Memri reporting with voices from moderate Arab voices as well as right wing settler and ultra-orthodox Israeli groups, who spew hatred and vitriol every bit as bad as Arabs.

This site features English translations of newspaper articles, television shows, speeches, and other communications that originate in Arabic. These translations are invaluable for understanding the double speak of many in the Muslim world who would have us believe what they say to us in English while in truth the espouse the opposite in Arabic.
