Many iterations of the tired old saw that Islam is peace--our president following the 9-11 attack. Islam is Peace

Oh, and though there are a billion muslims only a tiny fraction are terrorists.

Okay--though the fighting man is two hundred pounds of muscle and gear, only less than two hundred grains of him is coming at you at thousands of feet per second.

So, yeah, I'm pretty much not buying that hijacked religion crap.

I went a few rounds back in the day with the fairy running Shep Smith's email over militant versus terrorist. There is no detectable testosterone in the broadcast media.

There has been no mention that the killings targeted Jews, Christians, non-muslims.

Just like the youth riots in Paris that burned a few thousand autos--probably a big homecoming game or something.

The dimwits who elected Hussein are the dhimmis who will whimper but will not act as more and more are slaughtered.

We've already seen it: a million yuppie pukes putting Free Tibet bumper stickers on their Subaru Foresters is not as powerful as the one Chinese man who Stopped the Tanks.

Mark Steyn (Robert Spencer, Melanie Phillips, a few others) are the few the brave the truthtellers.

The rest are cowering politically correct walking dead people.

And if they tell the truth Hussein calls it Islamophobia and brags I will stand with them.

Thousands of youths are rampaging through Athens, the northern city of Thessaloniki and several other cities in the third day of riots Monday after police shot and killed a teenager on Saturday.

No mention of muslim, just youth gone wild. Our world’s gone crazy.

Indeed. And so it goes. This time round — Bombay — it was the Associated Press that filed a story about how Muslims “found themselves on the defensive once again about bloodshed linked to their religion.” ' Oh, I don’t know about that. In fact, you’d be hard pressed from most news reports to figure out the bloodshed was “linked” to any religion, least of all one beginning with “I-“ and ending in “-slam.” In the three years since those British bombings, the media have more or less entirely abandoned the offending formulations — “Islamic terrorists,” “Muslim extremists” — and by the time of the assault on Bombay found it easier just to call the alleged perpetrators “militants” or “gunmen” or “teenage gunmen,” as in the opening line of this report in the Australian: “An Adelaide woman in India for her wedding is lucky to be alive after teenage gunmen ran amok…”

Kids today, eh? Always running amok in an aimless fashion.

The veteran British TV anchor Jon Snow, on the other hand, opted for the more cryptic locution “practitioners.” “Practitioners” of what, exactly?

Hard to say. And getting harder. Tom Gross produced a jaw-dropping round-up of Bombay media coverage: The discovery that, for the first time in an Indian terrorist atrocity, Jews had been attacked, tortured, and killed produced from the New York Times a serene befuddlement: “It is not known if the Jewish center was strategically chosen, or if it was an accidental hostage scene.”

Hmm. Greater Bombay forms one of the world’s five biggest cities. It has a population of nearly 20 million. But only one Jewish center, located in a building that gives no external clue as to the bounty waiting therein. An “accidental hostage scene” that one of the “practitioners” just happened to stumble upon? “I must be the luckiest jihadist in town. What are the odds?”

Classic Steyn.

Thanks, Phil.
