Harris-Perry: By Showing Malik in Hijab, NYT Suggesting 'This Is What Terrorism Looks Like'
NewsBusters ^ | 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 that the paper was suggesting there was something offensive about the garment. Sometimes you just can't win with the PC crowd.

Islam IS what terrorism looks like.

Non-compliance with the ravings of their lunatic prophet will get you beheaded or stoned to death.

Islam IS Terror

This shooting has sure smoked out the hate America movement. I’m convinced the moslems could do 10 times the Paris attacks and the answer will always be to crack down on US even harder.

We know what stupidity is.. Just tune in pmslsdnbc.. See for yourself.

My favorite show is Lock-up. Where crooks admit they are crooks, not like some on modern day media outlets.

Utter f’ng moron. Think what this idiot is paid!

If it helps get across the idea that every veiled hijab’d female is a potential suicide vest... then that is freaking EXCELLENT.

For which reference.....mzzzzzzz perry... see Israel. Any organization or theology that creates a.... donkey bomb (and they did) and considers women the same as nothing (which the do in the Hadith)... will use women, to save the ever so superior mohammedan .... Men. Do you not get that msssssss. oh so- feminist hyphenated name dumba@@ biotch?
