Rupert Murdoch’s coddling of Islamic Tyrants

I was recently forwarded a link to a column by conservative author Diane West. In this column (linked below) Ms. West points out some disturbing trends regarding the media mollycoddling of Islamic tyrants. A recent example she highlighted was their treatment of Geert Wilders. If you are not familiar with Mr. Wilders, it’s not surprising given the obvious pro-Islam bias our media has demonstrated. Wilders is leader of the Freedom Party in the Netherlands and has been sounding the alarms against the Islamization of Europe.

Wilders became internationally known for his controversial film called Fitna - roughly translated as "strife" in Arabic - which links the Quran to terrorism. No television company would broadcast the film and Dutch politicians tried to ban it. The British government had at one point banned Wilder from the UK on the grounds that he posed a threat to public security. In the liberal European media you will often hear of Wilder referred to as a “fascist”, which is incredible if you consider that Muslim leaders practically worship Adolph Hitler, the man with whom Muslims were aligned during WW II. It really demonstrates the contempt the left has for historical reality. Unfortunately, as Diane West’s column highlights, some who we often hold in high esteem - share in this contempt for history as far as Islam is concerned.

West highlighted the fact that multiple Fox News pundits including Glenn Beck and Charles Krauthammer are now branding Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders as

I’m glad to see so many people calling Fox out on its treatment of Geert Wilders. When Glenn Beck slanders someone whom conservatives should support, then he needs to be called out on it.

It’s probably best that we be sceptical of all media.

Exactly. It explains a lot because I remember when Beck was on CNN he was very vocal about the Islamic threat and I think he was airing documentaries on the subject. Now you never hear a word about it as though the topic is off limits. Has he been gagged?
