Islam and the Media

It would seem the media is so married to the politically correct idea that Islam for the most part is peaceful that they just can’t face the facts. They have also so accepted the idea that we must live in constant fear of offending them, which is of course just what they want.

Islam has been brilliant in working the media war against the west. They know how politically correct we are and how afraid we are of offending anyone so they simply take offense at even the slightest disagreement with them. For some reason the media would never dream of saying an abortion clinic had it coming to them because they so offend Christians. They certainly wouldn’t say theaters have it coming to them because they showed The Last Temptation of Christ. They wouldn’t justify Christians or Catholics for burning down museums for showing Christ in piss or Marry in elephant dung, but for some reason when the Muslims become violent over a cartoon or a movie, well we brought it on and we need to be more careful about this because people are getting hurt. They’re not wrong for what they did, we’re wrong for provoking them.

As absurd as this mindset is it is still the accepted mindset and the media can’t seem to get away from him. For more than a week now they’ve have started almost every report about the Middle East insanity with some mention of that youtube video. Even when they are reporting it’s not because of the video, still the discussion revolves around the video leaving you with the impression that is what it’s about.

It is quite clear that the media has been completely intimidated by the tactics of Islam. They like to pretend it is out of respect for the religion, because after all they are so respecting of religions. We all know this isn’t true, but this doesn’t matter to them. They are going to continue stating the lie in the hopes that we will eventually believe it. It is not out of respect it is out of fear for what will happen to them if they say the slightest thing critical of Islam. They are most certainly not afraid of doing this to Christians, Catholics, Mormons or even Jehovah’s Witnesses. They feel quite confident in criticizing those religions because they know they won’t be killed or have their building’s burned down.

They also pretend it is because they don’t want everyone to hate all Muslims. I believe there are Muslims that are basically good people, but then I also believe it is not because of Islam that they are basically good, but in spite of it. I have met many Muslims who call themselves such but upon asking them if they’re read the Koran they are no different than many people who claim Christianity as their religions. They think they are of a particular religion for no other reason than that their parents were that religion. These people are more secular moralists than they are of the particular religion they claim as their own.

People who like to insist that Islam is a religion of peace have learn not read its core documents. If they had they wouldn’t say that at all. You must always look at what the core documents of any religion say to determine what the religion believes. If the people believe something different than what is in the core documents of the religion then they do not belong to that religion no matter what they say. If you say you are a Christian but you really believe that you can save yourself or earn your way to God through good works, then you may still be a very moral person, but you are not what the bible defines as a Christian. The religion is defined by its core documents not by what individuals who deviate from those documents believe.

Sometimes I wonder why they call it Muslim “Extremism”. This sort of term indicates it is out of the normal way a group behaves and implies it is a bit unexpected from a given group, yet there is little to no question in anyone’s mind that if you criticize Islam and specifically make fun of Mohammad your life will be in danger for the rest of your life, riots will break out, people will die, and all of this will be justified in the name of Allah, their god of “peace”. If it is so predictable and so completely un-condemned by those who claim it as their religion then it is not extremism, it is simply the norm. You can hardly find a single Muslim that will condemn what is going on. This being the case it means that they accept what is going on as justifiable and a normal response on their part.

The logic of this does say that this is normal for the religion and considered completely acceptable by those who practice. The media can’t even find but a handful of American Muslims who will condemn. To me what this means is that those who are for peace in Islam are the extremists, at least among their own kind.

But of course we can’t expect the media to see, recognize or report what is obvious to anyone with one eye and have a brain. There is clear another agenda at work here and it is something that ought to concern every American.
