The Headline of the Day, from the BBC:
"Shooting Raises Fears For Muslims In US Army"
Really? Right now the body count stands at:
Non-Muslims 13 Muslims 0
I was reading from some of this kind of coverage on the Rush Limbaugh show today. Even if you are concerned that it would be terribly unfair if all Muslims were to be tarred by Major Hasan's brush, it is, to put it at its mildest, the grossest bad taste to default every single time within minutes to the position that what's of most interest about an actual actrocity with real victims is that it may provoke an entirely hypothetical atrocity with entirely hypothetical victims. I refer you yet again to this note-perfect parody:
British Muslims Fear Repercussions Over Tomorrow's Train Bombing
This kind of media coverage is really a form of mental illness far more advanced than whatever Major Hasan's lawyers eventually enter in mitigation, and apparently pandemic, at least among the western media.
Been a long time since tar and feathers have been used.. Maybe too long.
More than 13. Remember the jerk Hasan Akbar?
I would have counted all the people he wounded.
I think it was 41 people who were killed or wounded?
>> Been a long time since tar and feathers have been used..
I vote that we skip tar and feathers — too complex! We might screw it up! — and go straight to IMPALING. Simple mechanical principle; we’re unlikely to get it wrong, and even if we do it’s unlikely we’ll have to do it over.
>> I think it was 41 people who were killed or wounded?
43. Can you believe it? 43 of our finest who had no idea — thought they were back in their own country, safe at last.
Makes me want to scream.
Welcome to 0merica
Mark’s point is that a second tragedy is playing itself out in the mainstream media.
islam is a bloodthirsty cult that is on a mission to conquer and destroy western civilization. to assume otherwise is suicidal.
the idea that there are ‘good’ muslims and ‘bad’ muslims is ridiculous. muslims all read and believe the same koran that commands that all “infidels” must convert or die.
Obviously the spin talking points have been issued to the MSN by Axelrod from the heady precincts of the White House.
We need to change the language. I laugh about all the descriptions of this incident.
Words are used like shootings , killings , ( couched in terms as if the victims could shoot back.)
This happened at a med facility where there was a long cue for flu shots and other medical processing.The perpetrator calmly got to his feet , reached into his jacket, drew his 5.7 mm FN pistol and calmly started walking down the rows of people , pointing his weapon and shooting them calmly, point blank, in cold blood.
This was not “shootings” This was not “killings.” This was genocidal execution. These human beings were dispatched as if they were animals.One woman was 6 months pregnant.
TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH. GENOCIDAL EXECUTION is what this was.
The same sort that happened in Kenya , courtesy of Obama’s tinkering there, in 2007.
OBAMA’S FAULT!!!!!!!
THIS WAS AN ACT OF RELIGIOUS GENOCIDE.
THIS WAS A WAR CRIME.
Munely is a hero. She JUST HAPPENED to be walking by as the shooting was happening, a gift from God, an avenging angel who saved a lot of lives.
CAIR spokesman Hasan Hasan said today that American Muslims are insecure over the possible repercussions from tomorrow's nuclear attack on a US city.
"Tomorrow's attack will be completely against the principles of the peaceful religion of Islam", said Hasan, noting that to take a single life is like taking the life of the entire world.
You gotta wonder how many “everyday Muslims” here in the U.S. would do the same thing when their phone rings with marching orders.
It is time for a new Crusade!
BUMP
Strange that these people didn’t fear for the Christian community after Tiller was killed.
Recently Stratfor on its free email sub reported an AQ connected imam on al jazeera instructing Mohos around the world to act individually with knives and clubs up to guns and bombs or whatever is appropriate and it mentioned that explosives don’t have to be expensive but can be made from household chemicals. Now I wish I had kept that one.
YEs we need to cusade and let US Muslims know that they have tio really start turnig over jihadi Imams and jihadi supporters from their communities.
The Muzzies need to decide to become Americans, or leave.They can’t have it both ways anymore.
The failure of the media to mention the phrase “radical Islam” is just another gross example of Big Lib Media only telling half the story. They’ve been doing this for decades if not half a century. The failure to deliver all the pertinent facts on any major story is the biggest indictment of the media. Not outright telling lies, which it does on occasion (Dan Rather), but by only giving one side of the story, Big Media does just much harm as it does by an outright lie.
