NY Times: ISIS “is offering reliable security; providing jobs
Atlas Shrugs ^ | 06/20/2015 | Pamela Geller

Ben Hubbard of the New York Times writes of the Islamic State, or ISIS, that “…the group is offering reliable, if harsh, security; providing jobs in decimated economics; and providing a rare sense of order in a region overwhelmed by conflict.” This summary of ISIS and their good deeds sounds eerily similar (and just as disgusting) to the accolades bestowed upon Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party before — and even after — the Second World War and the Holocaust. Hubbard uses the example of a nameless labourer from Raqqa who had “earned good money painting their offices,” who opined of ISIS and their implementation of Sharia law that, “As a way of life, people got used to it.”

But the human spirit can adapt to, and even survive, the most trying of circumstances, as evidenced by Jewish survivors of Nazi extermination camps. Or, as the old Yiddish proverb reminds us, “Having no choice is also a choice.” Leave it to a New York Times reporter to find the smallest measure of good in an entity as shamelessly and overtly nefarious as ISIS and the cruelty they have loosed upon the civilian populations of Syria and Iraq.

As long as they keep killing Christian, the New York Times will keep cheering for them.

Do the jobs come with a health plan?

Yep, the nazi’s provided security and jobs for them too.......

Less food in the Ukraine is good too says the New York Times in the 1930’s that saw millions die of starvation. It leaves more food for others.

Yup. As long as they’re providing free health care and a wide array of social services, the NYT will think ISIS has created a paradise on Earth.

No, but the burial plans are to die for.

Leftist the NY Times may be, but they are right. ISIS has been smart in providing security and social services that the governments won't. Doesn't mean that the people like ISIS or even agree with their world view, but they are desperate for help and ISIS is providing some.

I've transcribed enough congressional hearings with witnesses from think tanks and NGOs and have heard this many times.

See how simple it all is? Dealing with ISIS -- the most savage of the many practitioners of the Religion of Terror (i.e., the ROT) -- is not a matter of military strength, it's a matter of steady employment!

What the NYT does best of all is ignore reality.

Didn’t the NYT cheer for Stalin and the USSR also?

Somebody tell Marie Harf that they’re all set now. They don’t need jobs.

The Slimes was also talking up what swell world it was in The Soviet Union under Stalin in the ‘30’s. Old Walter Duranty was practically polishing Stalins knob with his reporting. Got himself a big award for that one. Had to ‘’retract’’ it unfortunately when the truth came out.

if ISIS were killing blacks they would be called racist terrorists, but since they are killing Christians they are heroes to the left

Specifically, sounds like a Brown Shirt, Gestapo or SS recruiting ad.

I’ll bet that the trains run on time just like in Fascist Italy.
