Beheading of New York Woman. Media Slow to Report.
Associated Content ^ | 2-17-09 | Bobby Tall Horse

Posted on 02/17/2009 9:57:26 AM PST by stillafreemind

Hussan did exactly what he preached moderate Muslims would not do. He beheaded his wife! That's violence. Where is America's media? Does a Muslim have to commit a beheading on the steps of NBC or something? What is the media afraid of? If the media cannot report a beheading in New York, what else have they deemed to be off limits? The media is supposed to report the news. A Muslim beheading his wife on an office floor is news. Not great news. But news.

I think Bobby is right. The last line kind of says it all. IF it had been a Christian man who beheaded his wife, would the media have reported it quicker?

This is just a Muslim man of the religion of peace trying to get a-head in NY city.
Nothing to see here, move on!

I told my brother about this story either Friday night or Saturday morning.

I saw it for the first time on CNN today (Tuesday) only after Fox and others have reported it. If they didn’t, CNN wouldn’t have either.

It’s a cultural custom, none of our business! Y’all just need to be more understanding of diversity!

We knew about this what, 4 days ago?
The only reason that they probably ran it was because they saw that everyone was talking about it.

Muslims and gays don't commit crimes in PC-topia. They are all model citizens!

If he was a Christian white guy that used a black rifle with a large magazine, that would be news. If it’s a Muslim with a knife, it’s just a cultural difference that we have to be patient and understand.

“Where is America’s media?”

America’s media remains quiet in order to make us impervious to any future slaughter.

Indeed. I just heard on the radio and man was holding a woman hostage reading her Bible scripture. Didn’t harm her otherwise but obviously wrong and found to be newsworthy to someone.
But THIS is not reported???
Give me a break!

Current MSM spin goes something like this: She pissed him off by asking for a divorce, and he had to protect the honor of his family by the customary means. The man had a lot of stress from running a difficult business venture, and this pushed him over the limit. We have to understand the profound cultural differences involved here, etc...

The only outrage I saw in several stories so far is from a NOW spokesperson, who is also wondering why the media is downplaying this horror.

“I think Bobby is right. The last line kind of says it all. IF it had been a Christian man who beheaded his wife, would the media have reported it quicker? “

Not if it’s a ‘Christian’ Mexican. Mexico is now the kidnapping & beheading capitol of the WORLD.

Media should be forced...

Force? How do you force propagandists when they are trying to lure you into making inane decisions on the inanity/insanity THEY deem newsworthy?

Thanks for posting and thanks to Bobby Tall Horse for questioning.
