Something is Wrong
The American Spectator ^ | 09/24/2012 | Ben Stein

Posted on 09/25/2012 5:03:26 AM PDT by Lacey

Have you noticed that in the past few years, and especially in the past few weeks since the murder of the Ambassador and his guards and colleague in Benghazi (a city that Erwin Rommel loved and whose inhabitants he praised), whenever the New York Times refers to Mohammed, they always call him, without quotation marks, The Prophet Mohammed, as if everyone with any sense understands that OF COURSE Mohammed is The One True Prophet and that it's just understood that Mohammed is The Prophet.

Well, when they start referring to Jesus-the-Savior so as to distinguish him from Jesus-the-Mexican-gardener, I’ll believe them.

They’re getting ready for the criminalization of utterances that show disrespect for islam.

Sadly, you are probably correct.

I never capitalize the pervert’s name nor will I call that cult “islam”; it is “mohammedism” to me.

LOL. And substitute "Oh My Allah" for all the all the OMG's and GD's we're bombarded with daily and see how well that goes over.

It was just stated on a conservative radio network while I was reading the article.

Weird!

Not only is it the Prophet Mohammad, Obama always refers to the Koran as the Holy Koran. I’ve never heard him refer to the Bible as the Holy Bible. For that matter, I seldom here the MSM refer to the Bible as the Holy Bible.

For many, it's likely less about 'forgetting' than about ignoring.

Then again, given the state of public education the past 30yrs . . .


Ya know how the communist maggots are always goin' on about that insipid Lennon song 'Imagine' ?

My version is: 'Imagine' what an immeasurably better world we'd live in today if the Crusades HAD been a complete success ? !

When they start adding (PBUH) after it, REALLY worry.

Its become quite clear that liberals are trying to replace the first amendment with the "free speech unless some minority group/atheist pac/3rd world rioter is offended" amendment. And they've been successful. They tell people "its to keep you safe," and they fall right in line.

Why don't the sheeple remember that he who is "willing to sacrifice liberty fo security deserves neither?" Honestly, I'm shocked again and again when I see predictions of the founding fathers coming to pass. They were truly guided by God, and yet nobody, none of these dull, mindless, sitcom watching ninnies have the slightest interest in the words of our founders! Its enough to make me throw up my hands in exasperation.

“The slimes and the enemedia all worship satan”

That is the crux of the matter.

I never capitalize any word closely associated with islam. allah, mohammad, muslim, koran, and certainly the word prophet are words I NEVER capitalize and I urge others to do likewise. I think the west needs to push back at the islamic world’s neurotic need for respect it never has earned.

Earn my respect by accomplishing something positive. Receive tolerance by demonstrating tolerance. Get treated as an equal by treating others as equals. Teach a squirrel to sing Pagliacci.

I added the last one so muslims would have something to strive for that might happen versus the others I listed.

We are not, as journalists, supposed to be labeling anyone as "The" Prophet. But somehow, it's happening. The MSM has become a voice for Islam.

I don't think it's a mystery. Members of the lap dog media hear Obama constantly refer to "the prophet Mohammed" and "the holy Koran", so it's only natural that many of them would follow his lead.
