ABC, CBS, NBC ignore vast opposition to Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero, heavily feature pro-mosque spokesman (including Hamas-linked CAIR)

9_11rally.jpgAll "Islamophobes"?


They ignored the 9/11 Rally of Remembrance, too -- not surprisingly. "MRC Study: ABC, CBS and NBC Tilt Ground Zero Mosque Debate by Smearing Americans as 'Islamophobic,'" by Rich Noyes for NewsBusters, September 15:

By a wide margin -- 66 percent to 29 percent, according to the most recent ABC News/ Washington Post poll -- the public is opposed to building that proposed $100 million Islamic cultural center near the site of the destroyed World Trade Towers. This is not a lightly-held opinion: more than half (53%) told ABC news they are "strongly opposed" to building it near Ground Zero, vs. only 14 percent who report being "strongly" in favor. (Scroll to Question 30.)

So in the face of such obvious public sentiment, are the big broadcast networks reflecting such public sentiment in their coverage? Or are journalists implicitly repudiating their viewers by touting accusations that opposition to the mosque is motivated by America's supposed "Islamophobia"?

To find out, MRC analysts reviewed all 52 stories about the Ground Zero mosque on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts from August 14 through September 13 -- the first month after President Obama propelled the issue into the headlines with his remarks at a White House dinner.

The results show that the networks have tilted in favor of mosque supporters and against public opinion, with more than half (55%) of all soundbites or reporter comments coming down on the pro-mosque side of the debate, vs. 45 percent for opponents.

Even those overall numbers fail to show how the debate has grown increasingly tilted over time. During the first week (August 14-20), the networks actually provided more visibility to mosque opponents -- 55 percent of soundbites, vs. 45 percent for mosque supporters. But in the following weeks (August 21 to September 13), the networks' coverage lurched in the other direction, with mosque supporters receiving a 63 percent to 37 percent advantage....

There is much more. Read it all. Honest Ibe Hooper of Hamas-linked CAIR, among others, makes an obligatory appearance.

Am I dreaming or is the following article really from UC/Berkley? Maybe there's hope?

'Living in fear of the Religion of Peace'...The movie...

Chapter 26...The media and its pact with the Devil...

ABC, CBS and NBC, MSNBC and others (FOX) MSM'ers have entered into an unholy alliance with Islam...It is becoming clear that they have chosen to support Allah and his submitters over patriotic, or any Americans...They have all become Tokyo Rose...It won't be long till they start selling sharia...

They've all learned their trade from the Bullshit Brainwashing Conspiracy

It would be refreshing if the media picked up on this little piece about the Koran burning protestors burning down a Christian school that only had Muslim teachers, students and a library packed with now incinerated Korans.

Islamophobia: Does America Have a Muslim Problem?
NO … but with Islam, the “prophet” Muhammad,
and the declaration of open-ended war against the kuffar, the Quran.

Islamophobe (is-slahm-o-fohb) – A non-Muslim who knows too much about Islam.

MSM, not the Aol, should pick-up on Molly Norris, the "evil perpetrator" of Everybody Draw Mohammad Day, going into hiding.

http://www.aolnews.com/surge-desk/article/molly-norris-artist-behind-everybody-draw-mohammed-day-goes-into-hiding/19635192

That's what MSM is really pushing, fear those rat bastards and if you keep your mouth shut you can live another day to watch Oprah's next big giveaway.

Haha ironic isn't it? these islamic imbeciles were so incensed that the pastor in america was thinking of burning the koran, that they themselves burned korans and the school that served them. Just as well, let rhe muslims help themselves, no church should provide any muslim with any help what so ever.

Even those overall numbers fail to show how the debate has grown increasingly tilted over time. During the first week (August 14-20), the networks actually provided more visibility to mosque opponents -- 55 percent of soundbites, vs. 45 percent for mosque supporters.

Appalling. One would not necessarily expect coverage to exactly mirror public opinion, but at this point it is clear that the media is no longer in many cases reporting the news, but instead intending to *shape* it.

Did they all attend the Walter Duranty School of Journalism? (Walter Duranty is the New York Times foreign correspondent who sent back glowing—and almost completely false—dispatches from the "worker's paradise" of the oppressive Soviet Union during the 1930s).

In any case, it is not working. A strong majority of Americans—not excluding generally solid "blue state" New Yorkers—are completely opposed to the triumphalist Ground Zero mosque. And this is so even with the threat of being stigmatized as "bigots" and "Islamophobes".

The American MSM is unwittingly impaling itself as it has never done so before (the Cold War and the whole Communist "thing" included). I see this as a great positive. The MSM standing up for a religious ideology that would destroy the very freedoms the MSM cherish, if only this ideology called Islam got the chance to do so, will eventually rank as one of the most cowardly, misguided and stupid actions in the entire history of journalism.

Time for the MSM to get its comeuppance. It's aiding this big time and it is so very richly deserved.

Instructive how those who are on the wrong side of history, be it through ignorance or complicity, serve as some of the greatest allies of liberty PRECISELY because they don't realize they do. Ignoramuses and the malevolent eventually defeat their own causes just by being themselves. If history teaches any lesson, it teaches this.

The origins of Political correctness and its deliberately designed destructive effects on Western culture.

Here are a couple of videos that are a Must See.

Ad Israel is Western as well as on the frontline against Islam, attacks on it from the Left are natural.

These two videos are a must see.

Thanks for posting that article. I'm a Cal alumnus and worked in student journalism when I was there (though not at the Daily Cal—not out of any antipathy, but because I was primary an editorial artist, and the Daily Cal didn't use this kind of art).

Excellent article from Marsha Enright and Gen La Greca. It is important to know not just what you are fighting, but what you are fighting for. They outlined the latter quite powerfully.

Of course, a number of the commentators dismiss their words as nothing but "Orientalism", but that is to be expected, I suppose. I imagine more students agree with their words than are willing to speak up.

As the 19th century British historian, Edward Augustus Freeman, put it: Islam is at war with every other creed on earth. Yet today, a lot of people still don't get it, even the ones who call themselves newsmen.

Wow! the left may be awakening and realizing that "the establishment" this century is actually the anti- free press, news blacklisting" left itself.

" the liberal, elite media are hopelessly out of touch with the public they ostensibly serve."

No they're not. They know well enough how the public feels, they're just scared as hell of large groups of people showing they have their own opinions not shaped by them. They can't stand the idea of a Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer & others influencing the opinion of many (esp. not a Geert Wilders!). They, the power elites of media, insist on being the opinion shapers - that's why they wont cover such large protest events unless it represents their views. They must rule the minds of most Americans, they are not doing it and they are scared.

The Main Stream Media think they are perfectly entitled to do what they want with the truth now. They think they have the power to shape public opinion and it simply isn't working. With all the new forms of technology such as the web, twitter and blogs the truth is always going to come out.

Remember how the MSM tried to make it appear that all the Tea Party people were ignorant racist gun loving nazis? Well it never worked. Just look at last night's elections.

The MSM loses credibility with the public every day that goes by. They are losing viewers due to newer technologies, and their dishonest reporting. They are simply appalling.

And I don't feel one bit sorry for them.

The MSM are secretly terrified of Islam. They have discovered a new word, "Islamophobe" which they hurl around at anyone who discusses Islam that they don't agree with. I say it is the MSM that are the true "Islamophobes" Because they nothing about Islam, yet they fear it completely.

Any wonder why the news is reporting lower revenue across all medium (print, web, tv, etc)? The only exception has been Fox news which tends to do more balanced reporting.

Boy everyone in this country is running around yammering about their fucking rights. "I have a right, you have no right, we have a right."

Folks I hate to spoil your fun, but... there's no such thing as rights. They're imaginary. We made 'em up. Like the boogie man. Like Three Little Pigs, Pinocio, Mother Goose, shit like that. Rights are an idea. They're just imaginary. They're a cute idea. Cute. But that's all. Cute...and fictional. But if you think you do have rights, let me ask you this, "where do they come from?" People say, "They come from God. They're God given rights." Awww fuck, here we go again...here we go again.

The God excuse, the last refuge of a man with no answers and no argument, "It came from God." Anything we can't describe must have come from God. Personally folks, I believe that if your rights came from God, he would've given you the right for some food every day, and he would've given you the right to a roof over your head. GOD would've been looking out for ya. You know that.

He wouldn't have been worried making sure you have a gun so you can get drunk on Sunday night and kill your girlfriend's parents.

But let's say it's true. Let's say that God gave us these rights. Why would he give us a certain number of rights?

The Bill of Rights of this country has 10 stipulations. OK...10 rights. And apparently God was doing sloppy work that week, because we've had to ammend the bill of rights an additional 17 times. So God forgot a couple of things, like...SLAVERY. Just fuckin' slipped his mind.

But let's say...let's say God gave us the original 10. He gave the british 13. The british Bill of Rights has 13 stipulations. The Germans have 29, the Belgians have 25, the Sweedish have only 6, and some people in the world have no rights at all. What kind of a fuckin' god damn god given deal is that!?...NO RIGHTS AT ALL!? Why would God give different people in different countries a different numbers of different rights? Boredom? Amusement? Bad arithmetic? Do we find out at long last after all this time that God is weak in math skills? Doesn't sound like divine planning to me. Sounds more like human planning . Sounds more like one group trying to control another group. In other words...business as usual in America.

Now, if you think you do have rights, I have one last assignment for ya. Next time you're at the computer get on the Internet, go to Wikipedia. When you get to Wikipedia, in the search field for Wikipedia, i want to type in, "Japanese-Americans 1942" and you'll find out all about your precious fucking rights. Alright. You know about it.

In 1942 there were 110,000 Japanese-American citizens, in good standing, law abiding people, who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That's all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had was...right this way! Into the internment camps.

Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most...their government took them away. and rights aren't rights if someone can take em away. They're priveledges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get's shorter, and shorter, and shorter.

Yeup, sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize the government doesn't give a fuck about them. the government doesn't care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. it simply doesn't give a fuck about you. It's interested in it's own power. That's the only thing...keeping it, and expanding wherever possible.

Personally when it comes to rights, I think one of two things is true: either we have unlimited rights, or we have no rights at all

At the risk of feeding a net troll, I would like to ask the person ranting about an imaginary God giving rights, let's assume the contrary, that there is no God at all, and remove him completely out of the picture. So what is your solution to a problem that we face, of government controlling our rights and expanding its power ad infinitum? Do we throw up our hands and conclude that it is our lot to live in hell on earth? Do you admit that perhaps it really is humans that are screwing up everything? I don't see robots running the government, the last time I checked. What's your solution for broken humanity?

In the absence of a 911 memorial, one masterful painting is serving as an authentic memorial for 9/11/2001.

By request, artist Marc Rubin was in NYC this 9/11 with his 7 x 14 ft painting "Atrocity 911" to serve as a memorial at the Zuccotti Park memorial service. Afterward the artist decided to go with quiet assistaqnce of NYPD, NYFD and First Responsers to Park Place and Broadway to serve as an "in your face" protest against the pro mosque people who were across the street.

Here is a link to a short photo montage flash movie of the public's reaction to the painting: http://www.marcrubin.com/911-2010.ivnu

"Charles Manson" doesn't know it, but he follows Thomas Hobbes rather than John locke and Thomas Jefferson.

Or, maybe he's the REAL Charles Manson who's all PO'D that his helter-skelter couldn't happen and that he'll never get to be America's version of Muhammad.

We all have to voice our position and make it heard not only in USA but also all over the world.
The people who own and work for these Main Stream Media are interested in money and have respect for the money that come from Saudi share holders.They do not care about the dignity of America and the future of their young generations !

Who believes that?

Progressives... Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR... etc..

not to mention the RINOs like Nixon, both Bushes and also McCain...

Hence the Tea Party...

Why don't you wiki this dipshit, what do FDR and Obama have in common in terms of politics?

There's so much to choose from...

btw... What would have been your alternative to internment for the Japanese?.. Consider the lives of visible minorities during the 40s in a world wracked by war..

Lucky for you Charles... muslims like to segregate themselves into sharia ghettos... It's called a 5th column... You can Wiki that too...

When I was a little boy during ww2, my father and I were fishing in the Mare Island straits, on the Vallejo Ca side, directly across from Mare Island Naval Shipyard...While we were fishing a car containing four Asian men in dark suits drove up and began taking pictures of the Navy Installation...
After about twenty minutes, two jeep loads of Military police arrived, arrested the four and drove away...
There was also a Japanese dinner house on the highway named 'The black Swan'...This place was raided by the FBI, several Japanese American citizens were arrested for spying...The Dinner was complete with two way radio communication with Japan...Should that have been sufficient reason for the internment camps? Probably not, but it does show there was a problem with Japanese American spy's, more loyal to Japan than the US...

"Personally when it comes to rights, I think one of two things is true: either we have unlimited rights, or we have no rights at all"

Aside from the description of plight of many of the Japanese Americans in World War 2, this was the only thing that Mr. Helter-Skelter wrote that made any sense, and even then he denies that rights can be limited by legal due process.

Why waste time picking apart this conflated mishmash of ideas?

Fun with FAQ's

From the Cordoba Initiative’s Frequently Asked Questions
http://www.cordobainitiative.org/?q=content/frequently-asked-questions


Why are you building “a mosque near Ground Zero”?
Strictly speaking, it will not be a “mosque” although it would have a prayer space on one of its 15 floors. At the beginning, no one considered the fact that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf Abdul Rauf’s current mosque is 12 blocks from the Ground Zero site, while the Park51 Community Center location is only 2 and one-half blocks away.  We never discussed wanting to be close to Ground Zero; our goal was to find a good real estate opportunity for a community center.  51 Park seemed to fit the bill.

[from the Dec 8,2009 New York Times
"The location was precisely a key selling point for the group of Muslims who bought the building in July. A presence so close to the World Trade Center, “where a piece of the wreckage fell,” said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the cleric leading the project, “sends the opposite statement to what happened on 9/11.
”"

We want to push back against the extremists,” added Imam Feisal, 61."]

But why so close to Ground Zero?

We wanted to build a community center in our old neighborhood, and the Park51 location became available.  (In our part of lower Manhattan, it’s hard not to be close to Ground Zero.)  As Muslim New Yorkers and Americans, we want to help and be part of rebuilding our neighborhood. It is important for everyone to show the world that Americans will not be frightened or deterred by the extremist forces of hatred.


“Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf  is a member of the Perdana Global Peace Organization, which is a funder of the flotilla that attempted to deliver aid to residents of Gaza.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf  has never been a member of this group.  Several years ago, Imam Feisal was invited to Malaysia, the most moderate Islamic country in the world, to participate in a Peace Conference sponsored by the Perdana Peace Group. He was one of the hundreds of speakers present. He has no political, advisory or business affiliation of any nature with the Perdana group.  A photo of Imam Feisal was taken at the conference, and this has been used to “prove” his membership in the Perdana Global Peace Organization, but the allegation is false. Because of the controversy surrounding Perdana, we have requested the Perdana Group to remove the photo of him from their publicity.


[While it is true that one can not get to the picture of Feisal Abdul Rauf from the Perdana home page, if one goes to the web page in question and clicks on “home” the current home page from the Perdana site comes up.

If Feisal wants to distinguish himself from Mahathir, he needs to do better than this.]

“Imam Feisal wants to establish a “shariah state“ in America”
Actually, quite the contrary. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf  believes that all Muslims must adhere to the laws of the land in which they reside, including in America. This is a basic tenet of Islam. He has repeatedly stated that America is already one of the most “Shariah compliant” countries in the world because of America’s adherence to our Bill of Rights and because we allow members of all religions, including Muslims and Jews, to practice their faith freely. In other words, Imam Feisal believes that Muslims practice Shariah when they fast, pray, give to charity and uphold the commandments to protect life, liberty, dignity, the pursuit of happiness and the right to freedom of worship.

[This is coming from the man who is insisting, to the point of creating a national security threat, on building an “Islamic community center” in connection with Ground Zero.
A man who is obsessed with shariah, and who runs a Shariah Index Project.
I think it is perfectly reasonable to assume, that if he can, he will press his advantage, and try to institute more shariah law in this country.
It is something you have to constantly be on the look out for with bumptious Muslims like Feisal Abdul Rauf.]

Folks, TRSTHNTR has linked to something very hopeful. It's a Washington Times article from Tuesday. An excerpt:

A panel of national security experts who worked under Republican and Democratic presidents is urging the Obama administration to abandon its stance that Islam is not linked to terrorism, arguing that radical Muslims are using Islamic law to subvert the United States.

The report is 150 pages or so, and included on the team who wrote it are a number of people whom Jihad Watchers will recognize as friends, including Andrew McCarthy (lead prosecutor in the first WTC attacks) and Diana West, author and columnist.

The 150 page report, called Sharia: The Threat to America, An Exercise in Competitive Analysis, Report of Team 'B' II, is free to read online, and includes a ten-page executive summary, which I read and found excellent. The authors also explain the long title. It's brilliantly based on the title of another report that marked a sea change in strategy toward the Soviet Union thirty years ago. The content is impressive, based as it is on the intellectual resources of a talented team of people who together represent a broad range of experience. And they are on our side.

If you are tired of the "Religion of Peace" propaganda coming out of Washington for the last ten years, this report heralds a sea change to something realistic.

List of co-authors of the report:

Shariah: The Threat to America
Center for Security Policy | Sep 13, 2010
http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/p18523.xml

The Enemy Within
There is a crucial difference in the contemporary incarnation of this “Noble Savage Other,” however:
Where the Other of yesteryear used to live vividly imagined, if dimly understood, in the Western imagination,
the contemporary Other now lives, quite literally, in the West itself.
Indeed, a massive demographic shift has brought adherents to shariah – a doctrine that, by definition,
opposes all others – deep into the non-Islamic world. The Other is still vividly imagined, if dimly under-
stood. But where he once provided intellectuals with a theoretical foil against modernity, the Other – in this
century, in the collective form of practitioners of shariah – now manifests itself as a concrete bloc.
‘Submission’
The historical, Other-inspired tradition of self-criticism is no longer deemed adequate in these cir-
cumstances. Instead, the Other demands and receives a kind of cultural accommodation – submission – that
is the 21st Century echo of the centuries-long subjugation of our European ancestors to Islamic conquest and
domination. In the real-life endgame of multicultural “inclusion,” left unchecked, this impulse would seem to
make the West’s renewed dismantlement inevitable.
Such a fate could only happen in an era of Western identity-decline, a time in which cultural relativ-
ism has wedged itself between the West and its original and defining beliefs. The spreading contagion of
Western self-excoriation leads inexorably to a willing suspension of critical thinking that encourages – nay,
demands – that value-based distinctions between Western and non-Western civilizations be abolished.
In other words, “diversity” is automatically “good,” as long as the “diversity” being embraced is non-
Western and the distinction being denied is Western. But it is “bad” when discrimination of the intellectually
honest kind concludes that shariah-inspired savagery is actually savage. Western society is left in a state of
moral, cultural, and political paralysis.
Under sway of the multiculturalist credo, notions of the superiority of Western culture are heretical,
an imminent threat to the leveling arrangement that makes the European Union’s so-called “meeting of dif-
ferent civilizations” possible. As the bureaucrats in Brussels see it, the “values of Europe” disallow considera-
tion of Western civilization as superior to another. In other words, any tendency that threatens to restore the
traditional hierarchy that put Western civilization at the pinnacle for having enshrined liberty and human
rights must be disavowed, shamed and rejected outright.
In Denial
Such submission abounds in the media and in politics, where discussion of doctrinal links between Is-
lam’s shariah and terrorism has been considered out of bounds at least since the George W. Bush years. This
logic blackout is now reaching levels of absurdity as “rage over the health care bill” was seriously debated by
reporters as a potential motivation for the Times Square bomber, Faisal Shahzad, and as Attorney General
Eric Holder balked repeatedly at considering even “radical Islam” as a possible rationale for such terrorist at-
tacks.
The unmistakable trend is to deny shariah’s doctrinal association with terrorism in a strange public
display of “sensitivity.” The collective striving to be sensitive has, paradoxically, deadened our senses and
blunted our logic – a condition resembling not just appeasement, but surrender.
As charges of “religious defamation,” “racism,” “bigotry,” and “blasphemy” have become, like Pav-
lovian gongs, instant conversation-enders, Islam has become in the West increasingly insulated not just from
criticism, but also from the poking and prodding of analysis – from reality itself. This may be precisely the

kind of “protection” from secular “blasphemy” (read, criticism) that shariah has long maintained it requires,
and, indeed, is pursuing in the international arena with anti-blasphemy resolutions at the United Nations.
The more challenging question is, Why are non-Muslims so obsessively doing everything they can to help
suppress debate about shariah and related subjects?

Brother, great article you provided link to (Principal of school in Kashmir). Just forwarded it to Robert Spencer that it should appear on jihadwatch (though main news is already covered, the account from the principal is worth showing to jihadwatch readers).

Those who draw equivalence between Hindu violence against christians and that by Muslims, should remember that Hindus reacted to far more serious actions (killing of 84 years old monk and his nurse) and we never burned schools.

Perhaps you should reflect on the wisdom of a statement by Voltaire, himself a skeptic. He observed that if God doesn't exist, we'll have to invent Him. Some pretend games (if they are pretend games), after all, are very important. As another example, thinking we have certain basic rights. Here's yet another: there are moral absolutes. The alternative, which you have suggested, will create far more problems than it will solve. Count on it.
