"As far as editorial content is concerned, print media in the United States is very pro-Muslim"

"Pro-Muslim," i.e., defending special accommodations for Muslim practices in businesses and workplaces -- accommodations that would never be granted to non-Muslims. "Pro-Muslim," i.e., demonizing and marginalizing anyone who stands up and defends the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and equality of rights for all people before the law, against Islamic supremacism. "Pro-Muslim," i.e., working assiduously to obscure any connection between Islam and Islamic jihad terrorism, even when the jihad terrorists themselves point to the Qur'an and Sunnah as their motivation and inspiration. "Pro-Muslim," i.e., characterizing jihadis as "insurgents," "militants," or "youths," or some other term, but never what they are. "Pro-Muslim," i.e., casting Muslim violence against non-Muslims as "clashes" between two equally aggressive groups. And on and on and on.

"American print media 'very pro-Muslim,'" by Sidrah Roghay for The News International, June 17 (thanks to Kenneth):

Karachi: Born in a sufi family in India before Partition, Shabbir Mansuri was chosen by his father to go to the United States, and do all the things that Americans do. Several decades later he was invited by the US consulate at a local hotel as an American citizen and founder of the Institute of Religion and Civics to head a talk titled ‘religion, media and politics in the United States’.

“As far as editorial content is concerned, [the] print media in the United States is very pro-Muslim,” he said talking about this one time when controversy sparked about designating an area for ablution (wudhu) at the Michigan Universities especially for Muslims.

“The Los Angeles Times protected the decision in the name of freedom of religion.”...

The print media lies about that, and a host of other things...The talking heads on TV are almost as bad...a few of them worse...They shill for Islam in the most shameful ways...Some of them write the most evil chyme possible, like those who seek to smear Robert and Pam constantly, as well as a few others...The Lean thug comes to mind...I have no sympathy for these creepzoid people, and won't spend one penny on them...

To all Americans, I appeal to you not to allow the creeping Islamization of your great nation to continue. Do not allow the rights of your First Amendment to be taken away from you.
I am British and I have seen my once-great nation slowly turn into a Leftist cesspit of lies and propaganda. Some of us Brits are fighting back but it will be a long and tiresome war. America is still free (if not at Federal level, then it is at State level). You must not allow the snake, Obama to get back into power. Do everything you can to stop this from happening. I would love to move to the States, but unfortunately I do not have the right credentials for your Federal government to allow me to. In other words I am not a Muslim asylum seeker. If I was, I would stand a better chance. I am a simple law-abiding, hard-working White British citizen and therefore have nothing to offer.
In Britain, I am marginalized by certain people because of my honest views. I am lucky though, because I also have many friends who stand by me and agree with me, and all my friends agree that we had more rights twenty years ago than we have now. Britain is slowly becoming enslaved, but we are still more fortunate than many other European nations such as France and Sweden. We really need the U.S.A. By this, I mean the real U.S.A, not the bureaucratic, confused, seditious United States of Obama, but the United States of liberty.
America, do not become slaves. Defend your rights and your freedoms to the very end, otherwise what we are now, you will become in ten years' time!

Same as in Europe, the media keeps lying about Islam, and ordinary people buy it. The Nazis said if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. That's how Islam is presented.

Today in the gym I complained to a guy that in a civilised, European country like England there are three sharia zones. His answer was: "A civilised, European country that has freedom of religion." They don't understand that these privileges have nothing to do with freedom of religion to the contrary, adherents of other religions are marginalised. This guy thinks sharia is some folklore custom that needs to be preserved. Poor Europe... thanks to the media.

"Pro-Muslim" as in always being more concerned about an hypothetical "backlash" in response to a murderous Muslim frontlash.

The media seems to have forgotten its job is to be OBJECTIVE, and leave the editorializing in the opinion column.

Those "reporters" who aren't convinced about the threat or the evil of islam need to get their liberal asses over to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, stay there for a year, and I can guarantee they'll change their tune.

Hi, SB, we could use you and your outlook here in Canada. Why not try? We Canadians are slowly waking up to the threat of islam, but we could always use another strong voice of reason. I would gladly welcome you.

Ima

I love Canada too. From what I hear it's still freer than Europe.

Hey Softly (Old Grey Whistle Test?) they already have Mark Steyn and Michael Coren. UK needs sanity too. Thank God for Melanie Phillips, Douglas Murray, Tommy Robinson and a few other good souls. The BBC is a load of Shi'ite.

They have not yet understood that in order to safeguard our freedoms, including freedom of religion, it is necessary to ban Islam.

Just talking to a Liberal friend during lunch and he was telling me that there is not a threat to the USA from anywhere in the World. I asked him "What about Ahmedinejad of Iran declaring death to America and Israel". He said "Those are just words they don't mean anything". Contrary to my optimist friends,especially in this blogue, I am of the opinion that America will not wake up until we have another BIG disaster like 9/11.

I admire and respect Robert and Pam and others like them telling the truth and going through all that cruel, illogical backlash along with blames of being racist and bigots and death threats. I can not even handle a brained washed liberal friend. Thank you Robert and Pam.

The print media is working for the government and has betrayed their basic task of a journalist i.e. report on an issue (so far as) objective!!

Instead the print media get instructions (what to say & and what not ... and certainly money in return) from the government (would kill her own mum for a valuable Muslim vote)

I find"Pro-Muslim" attitude of American Medias at the cost of Christianity and Jew bashing .Canadians are a bit fortunate in having Sun TV and Sun magazine,which is bold enough to expose the discrimination of Christians nd Jews around the world.Hats off to bold people like Micheal Coren Ezra and David Menezes. American Media conveniently shelve the international discrimination going on around Islamic countries ,including imprisonment,harassment.and intimidation based on Christian beliefs.Americans are kept in the dark about the Tehran's harassment of Christian converts,and the death sentence of Muslim Convert Paster Nadarkhani,nor the "friend and ally of America"-Pakistan arresting local Christians under the pretext of Blasphemy laws and condemning them to be killed. Asia Bibi-mother of five is condemned to die-for not converting to Islam. American President never ever opened his golden mouth to condemn this incident and warn Pakistan.Even the American Christian heads turn the other side,when they can DEMAND Obama to take action.In fact I am sad to say that the worst enemies of Christians around the world are the so called "Christian majority' Americans.

What most American are unaware of is that the Saudis as well as many other Islamic groups hire American public relation firms as well own many shares in American media outlets. They also keep both journalists as well as editorial writers on their pay rolls.Needless to say many politicians like the Clintons have been handsomely paid by the Saudis and the Bushes have been doing millions of dollars of business for decades with them. Thank God for the internet other wise we would never ever find out the truth.

Ofcourse they will do their best to control internet also for the "betterment of the society" and then we are totally screwed. That is why OBAMA must go now!.

Talking about curiosities there is this historical story:

"Tamerlane’s Curse on those who would Open his Tomb and Hitler’s Invasion of the Soviet Union"

http://www.antisharia.com/2012/06/18/tamerlanes-curse-on-those-who-would-open-his-tomb-and-hitlers-invasion-of-the-soviet-union/

AND ALSO(an event of 2011)

"Farhan Qureshi,Notable Defender of Islam in Many Debates,of the Muslim Debate Initiative,has left Islam"

http://www.antisharia.com/2011/05/21/farhan-qureshinotable-defender-of-islam-in-many-debatesof-the-muslim-debate-initiativehas-left-islam/

Well, I almost fell out of my chair when I sat down to watch some TV with my mom tonight and there was an hour long story on Fox News exposing what Maj. Nidal Hasan had done. I don't have much use for Fox generally but they came through this evening, if you don't count Joe Leiberman repeating the phrase "radical Muslim extremism" over and over again like a mantra.

It doesn't help that President Obama has said that anyone whom speaks negitively about Islam or Muslims will be considered as haterd and could be arrested.

Americans doen't want this horrible Islamic idelology to continue. But they are to simple-minded to think about it. That is Americas major problem against effectiveness against globle jihad. It's simply to scary to think about, and so they simply look away, as though there is no problem.

Somewhat like the attack on Pearl Harbor were the military (U.S. Navy) was warned prior to the attack. And so it is today with globle jihad. The United States gets full of itself and becomes sloppy and ineffective.

Problem is this time the enemy is 100 times more dangerous than Hitler was. Because this enemy has the appeasment of legislators, and administration, is stealth (under the radar) and has the news medias sympathy. Those are very effective weapons in any struggle.

Agreed 100% So what do we do now?

The US Navy was not "warned" that there would be an attack on Pearl Harbor. No one in the US--icluding the Commander-In-Chief knew that Pearl Harbor would be struck before the fact. We were simply "asleep at the switch."

But, your Pearl Harbor analogy is still a good one. That attack on our territory (not a state at the time) threw us into WWII--and we were fighting-mad! The 9/11 attack WAS on the US mainland and claimed MORE victims--most were non-combatant civilians--than we suffered on Dec. 7, 1941. And, where are we now? Asleep at the switch! What will it take?

We across the pond hear you, Bro. Some of us didn't vote for the O in 2008, and certainly won't in 2012. Also, as I said a few years back, please accept my apologies for our government's shameful lack of preparation when your PM visited early inthe O's administration. I, for one, thought that Britain's gift of a desk made from the timbers of a ship used for stopping the slave trade a wonderful gesture, for which the return gift of CD's that won't work on a European system made me wonder what sort of bozos they have working at the State Department these days.

Guys. while I continue to root for JW and oppose the Islamicization of the West (I can do no other, since I'm for the West's re-Christianization, along with the evangelization of the rest of the world), I have a somewhat different take on this story.

Until I get more info to the contrary, I suspect that Shabbir Mansuri is a naturalized US citizen who is appalled at the knee-jerk, all-but-pathological anti-Americanism that is rampant in most Muslim-majority countries. He's trying to set the Old Country folks straight about his adopted country. In this, he would not be alone, but following a fine old [new] American tradition.

Right now, the wife and I are visiting relatives in Taiwan. Back in my early acquaintance with this country, I heard all kind of stereotypes about the US, mostly to the effect that Americans are unfilial and sexually "loose". I heard another American (he was of Chinese heritage) reply that a lot of Americans are actually still pretty "puritanical". One of my mother's childhood stories is her own mother assuring old country realtives (in Norway) that 1920's America wasn't really overrun by gangsters, regardless of what the movies might make you believe.

"I am marginalized by certain people because of my honest views. "

Why am I not surprised?

Any more biased and we'll be reading right to left.

Couldn't agree more, dear Gerard. The Western people are systematically addled or I'd rather say brainwashed. Mahoundians feel constantly offended they are born with a chip on their shoulder. And the more they get, the more they demand and claim they're being victimised.

Americans are accused of waging wars, I don't need to elaborate on that one. Germans are accused of the Shoah and British and French of their colonies. As for the Germans I agree but the victims were Jews not Mahoundians, the Germans draw the wrong conclusions from their past. As for the British and the French colonies nothing was ever as bad as what the Mahoundians did in their colonies such as Spain or the Balkans in Europe. Greece's bad economic situation today is due to Ottoman exploitation and mismanagement. Israel is constantly attacked by these stupid headbangers. Islam causes brain damage and insanity.

minoria informs us that a Muslim apologist, Farhan Qureshi, has left Islam. According to the links provided, Qureshi apparently left Islam back in May of 2011.

His first article for Faith Freedom at that time announced his apostasy.

His second article a couple of weeks later explained his decision in more detail. This article contains rather too many uncomfortable residues of his former Islam -- such as:

"I recall the Prophet (sa) encouraging Muslims to change what is wrong with our societies, if not then to speak out against what is wrong and the weakest form of faith is disliking it in one’s heart."

Why is he still "sawing" the Prophet if he had already left Islam?

Sorry, I wouldn't trust a Farhan as far as I could throw a Koran.

David,

Are you on drugs?

Dear David, don't let supremacist Muslims like "Mensch Keymelon" rattle you. This is exactly what he hopes to do, and what all his meretricious bs is for.

You are a fine poster and a supremely decent man. We need you here.
