London terror attackers: CNN still baffled on the motives
American Thinker ^ | 06/03/2017 | Thomas Lifson

The mandatory media blindness toward Islam as a motive for terror attacks would be comic, if the propaganda were not so effective in a world full of low information voters. There is only one major religion in the world today whose adherents, by the hundreds of millions, believe that violence against believers of other religions or no religion, can legitimately be attacked. And there is only one religion that is actively killing nonbelievers on a large scale, globally.

Everyone paying attention knows this. It requires considerable mental gymnastics to know the background and yet be baffled by the motives.

Even though the attackers yelled, “This is for Allah,” as they stabbed restaurant and pub patrons, CNN makes itself look asinine with this coverage of the terror attack: “London terror attacks: What we know and don't know.”

Whether by choice or at the direction of her superiors, Hilary Whiteman of CNN managed to avoid the words “Islam,” “Muslim,” and “Allah” in her roughly 700-word article on the attacks.

I suppose it will help her keep her job. But has she really informed CNN’s patrons of what went down? Are they better prepared for life's perils thanks to CNN's "journalism"?

CNN is not a credible news source.

Baffled, confused, and suffering an identity crisis under Trump.

What’s not to like.

CNN and Fareed Zakaria are all out anti-Trump this morning. Its an onslaught of articles spewing Trump hate without making much sense. Every article is a full out hit job on Trump.

I think they see Trump and the English attacking their religion of political correctness after this last attack. When before today have we seen a sitting US President and a sitting English PM both blame political correctness for terrorist attacks. After the Manchester bombing, where many people said they saw something suspicious but did not speak up because of fear they would be labeled bigots.

So CNN and the press are doing everything to stop it before it gathers steam. CNN and Zakaria can’t afford for their pro-Muslim philosophy to be seen as responsible for the lack of security in Europe. It has to be Trumps fault.

We may have arrived at the point where apologists and obfuscators like CNN should be regarded as accomplices in these moslem crimes.

It’s that little hate book called the Koran which Muslims cherish above all else. No where in the Bible does Jesus tell his followers to kill non-believers; just the opposite. Muslims, however, are commanded very pointedly to kill all non-Muslims or enslave them, whether they want to or not.

CNN either works for the Muslims or is afraid of the Muslims. What other reason could there be for their absolute refusal to speak the truth on this issue?

Once I was doing my best to encourage the lefties to their outbursts in the hopes that any remaining in their camp that had at least a finger-grip on their sanity would scold them.

Now that I know that they’re all mad I don’t have to do anything except sit back and enjoy the show.

I’m reminded of a movie I saw once when I read “CNN still baffled on the motives.”

Scene from The Jerk
