Harris-Perry: By Showing Malik in Hijab, NYT Suggesting 'This Is What Terrorism Looks Like'
MRC Newsbusters ^ | 12/6/15 | Mark Finkelstein

They would have used a photo of her in an NRA cap, but none was available . . . Man, it's getting hard to navigate the nuanced shoals of political correctness. Now, even the ineffably sensitive New York Times has run afoul of the rules, as propounded by Melissa Harris-Perry. On her MSNBC show today, Harris-Perry griped that the Gray Lady had run a photo of Islamic terrorist killer Tafsheen Malik wearing a hijab. As per H-P, the Times was sending a message that "this is what terrorism looks like."

Damn those anti-Muslim bigots of the New York Times! But seriously, what was the poor paper supposed to do? Should the Times have photoshopped the hijab off Malik? Harris-Perry might have complained the paper was suggesting there was something offensive about the garment. Sometimes you just can't win with the PC police.

Before Harris-Perry's complaint, panelist Linda Sarsour of the Arab American Association of New York said she was "extremely disturbed" and found it "absolutely outrageous" that the Times had run front page photos of the interior of the apartment of the San Bernardino terrorist couple which showed typical Islamic furnishings and decorations. As Harris-Perry subsequently said about the hijab, Sarsour suggested that the Times was sending a message that "this is what terrorism looks like." AD FEEDBACK

Note: before kvetching about the Times, Sarsour said something that I would invite readers to interpret. "We went from immediately knowing from eyewitnesses that they were three white males. Which by the way multiple witnesses--three medium-built, heavy-built white males--and let's not even go there." Where would "there" have been in Sarsour's mind?

I am sure she was just as outraged when the media showed pictures of priests in their vestments instead of street clothes.

"Great. Right next to it is pictures from the apartment of things that I have in my house."

Beheaded Jews, crucified Christians, suicide vests, IEDs, the koran ya' know, all those things you find in a typical muslim home.

“Wasn’t somebody just complaining that they showed a photo of her without her hijab?”

Yes, another media person, some reporter for Al Jazeera (but I think Al Jazeera America or someting, it was not an overseas person). He tweeted it and then he tried to “take it back”.

I see the journolisters forgot to cover this important point, they didn’t get their stories straight on this one. That photo looks like it came from a passport or a license or something. I guess they couldn’t find one when she was a 12 year old, playing with her dolls.

To the left, and the media, their lives don’t matter. Even the black guy and gal. Even the women. Even the hispanics. They were probably all loyal democrat voters too.

What a dumb b*tch..if ISIS had their chance this broad would be one of the first they killed. But liberals ALWAYS take the side of Muslims, they always have and they always will, because Muslims despise America as much as Liberals do
