Media ignore one key fact about Paris rioters: they’re mostly Muslims

The rioters who have terrorized Paris for two weeks now have been called many things by the mainstream media: poor, disaffected, disenfranchised, mostly immigrants or children of. But one label applied to them in passing, if at all, is one that is certainly not unimportant or irrelevant: “Muslim.”

Anyone reading the accounts of perhaps the most respected news organization on earth, the Associated Press, would have no clue that Muslims were primarily behind the riots. Ditto for those consuming the BBC, though at least that is a little less surprising. And while Reuters, the New York Times, and the LA Times each feel compelled to mention that many rioters are Muslim, they treat that fact as, at most, incidental. (As Daniel Pipes has noted, the situation in the French media is no different.)

By all accounts, the primary contingent of rioters is Muslim. There have been some copycats, and there are anecdotal reports of native Frenchmen participating in the organized chaos. But there is no denying that most of the rioters are Muslim. Unless, of course, you’re in the mainstream media.

An AP story filed late Sunday night waited until the end of the 8th paragraph to identify where exactly the rioters are wreaking havoc. Deep in the story, the AP informs its readers: “Violence has been concentrated in poor suburbs with large immigrant populations.”

The hot zones are indeed “poor suburbs with large immigrant populations.” But they’re also heavily Muslim. And it was Muslims who were almost exclusively involved in instigating the initial waves of violence. Through the 11th day of rioting, it appears that Muslims—particularly when copycats are not counted—still account for most of the rioters. Yet none of this context appears in the AP story.

Here is how the venerable news agency explained the mushrooming violence:

The Muslims that aren't currently involved in unrestrained violence like to argue that Islam is peaceful, nonbelligerent, wonderful, etc.

The end result is that they all look nuts. That's good for the world as it surly hurts their recruiting efforts.

The reality is not lost on those of us who refuse to buy into the ideological dishonesty of political correctness.

To those of us with eyes not blinded by Leftist idiocy, we can see precisely who and what is behind these latest atrocities...and it's just like June 1940 all over again.

Brian Kimede makes sure to ask every guest that is interviewed on FnFriends "Aren't they mostly Muslims?" The guest will usually say yes, and then zoom on. It's like they don't really want to dwell on that, but Brian isn't going to let it slide.

It's funny that the MSN call the rioters "youth". Many clueless people would scratch their heads wondering what's wrong with French young people. LOL!

You can't say that. It is profiling. I bet you are a Christian.
These aren't all Muslims, just misguided youth.
