French Churches Burn and the Left and the MSM Ignore It
Astute Blogger ^ | Thursday, November 17, 2005

One dozen Christian churches were defiled, ransacked and/or torched by rioters in France during the intifada. (HAT TIP: NO PASARAN.) That's one every other day over the last two weeks. Quite a clip. And during the same period, not a single mosque was torched by the rioters, (whose Muslim-ness has nothing to do with the riots - according to the MSM. And nothing about these targeted attacks against churches has appeared in the MSM, either).

In the old days, when the KKK - (who were like today's islamofascists: a group committed to tyranny and willing to use terror to impose it) - were torching BLACK churches, liberals did not hesitate to join the fight against the KKK. WHY DO THEY STAND AT THE SIDELINES NOW!? WORSE: why do actively work to make it tougher to defeat today's "GLOBAL KKK" the jihadoterrorists!? Sheesh.

ANSWER: Today's Lefties are like yesteryear's reactionaries. Yesteryear's liberals are today's neo-cons. IOW: FDR and JFK would be neo-cons today. And the And the brave volunteers joing the US military to fight islamofascisim in Iraq today, are like the Freedom-riders of the 1960's.

UPDATE - 11/18: a GOOGLE NEWS search, a NYTIMES search, and a NEWSNOW.CO.UK search turned up one single solitary MSM story by "Reuters" which mentions church arson during the French Intifada in passing. There is more coverage of two church burnings in Pakistan. Also by Muslims. As commenter Gandalin said, "Just imagine for a minute that instead of crowds of jihadists shouting "Allah Akbar" and burning churches, gangs shouting "Christ is King" had burned 12 mosques. Don't you think that would have been a gigantic day-after-day story for the MSM? The fact that the MSM want to hide or minimize the facts shows that they are already behaving like dhimmis, and that Islam is already favorized in Western intellectual/literati/elite circles as a privileged religion which deserves a respect and deference that these same circles would never accord any other religion. In fact, they are openly hostile to Christianity and Judaism. The intellectual/literati/elite circles in the West have already surrendered to the jihad."

To the media, and the left, there is no difference between a car or a Christian Church either... or a synagogue. The MSM, French Gov't and leftist allies of the terrorists just can't seem to get the hint that these terrorists want to kill EVERYONE in the West. But of all those the Islamofacsists want to kill, the leftists top the list.

Cognitive Dissonance at it's worst.

Couldn't agree more.
The MSM only mentioned "Mosque attacked", giving you the impression that this is an crusade instead of an intifada.

The fact that the Communist Chinese have formed 5 Counter Terror Brigades of the PLA tells you they are having problems and are preparing for more. Europe is capitulating to the Moslem Thugs there. Telling Jews to hide their religion, while the Cowards who are Christians wring their hands while Churches burn. Islamic Jihad has hit Europe. Only this time Charles Martell is nowhere to be found in Gaul/France.

Eurabia is coming as Pat Buchanan has predicted in his book The Death of The West. Europeans bailed on their Christian heritage and this is the result, low birth rates, Socialism and now Islamic majorities in their future.
