The Muzzies really screwed up on this one. Cartoonists are part of the media. Up to now, the media were the greatest supporters of the Islamists. Now they have been attacked. The media (or at least Cartoonists) will be like people who gave up smoking - they will lead the “anit” crusade. The tide may have finally turned against the Muzies in France and Europe.
Dream on
I think this may be a turning point too. But not so much because the media has been attacked, but because this is a significant emotional event, and not only for the French. The people seem to realize that their freedoms are under attack, and part of their frustration is that they know their governments aren't going to do anything. It's the people who must react.
The gatherings last night of tens of thousands in countries throughout Europe indicate that at the very least a catharsis has occurred, whether action will follow is the question.
What is a moderate Muslim? Can we afford to continue to attempt to make a distinction? Of course not. This is the conclusion the people have come to, it has become now a matter of the preservation of civilization.
No, right-wing media has been attacked. Do you think MSNBC and CNN would be terribly upset over an attack on Fox?
I wish I believed that.
But yesterday afternoon, the very day of the attack, some a$$hole on CNN was trying to draw parallels between the religious fanaticism of the terrorists and that of Jerry Falwell. After all, he DID sue Hustler magazine for libel...
The hard-core-left media WILL not learn because they do not WANT to learn.
AMEN, I second it!
We will know when the media REALLY turns when they actually start PUBLISHING the actual cartoons humiliating Mohammed, not broken pencils. The broken pencils are an ironic emblem of what they are.
