But I bet dollars against donuts that almost every media fool who invents yet another specious denial about Islam is a frequent reader of Pam Geller and Robert Spencer.

yes,they read because they want to know the facts and figures and then they still turn out to be politically correct.
It look bad if you are not politically correct.

Once an ingrained hatred of Christianity (and Jews) is thoroughly instilled in these Marxist media people by their Marxist academic mentors and media friends, it must be an easy leap for them to overlook the faults of a group who shares their anti-Christian (and anti-Semitic) values and also who actually have specific credible plans for what to do about those hated Christians (and Jews).
mortimer says
The main problem with journalists and editors is their almost total lack of religious knowledge. They assume wrongly that religion is a simple matter any child can follow, unlike politics, science, world history and lastly, sports.
Because they generally have a low view of religion, they put the least effort into understanding. They replace research into the doctrines of Islam with quoting from local Islamic clerics…who by the way are almost researched for allegiance or dependability. The mullahs have an uncontradicted field day, and the journalists get to avoid the deadly accusation of bias or ‘racism’, etc. The result is a nonsense article that leaves all the hard questions for the critics of Islam and lets the mullahs entirely off the hook. The mullahs’ words are all taken at face value and the critics of Islam never get to cross-examine them.
The ultimate result is that mullahs with terrorist connections (like Anwar Awlaki) are interviewed and tell lies about jihad and get away with it.

I once had a media guy friend of a friend tell me in a very friendly way that religion is opium for the masses. This was straight out of his Marxist handbook. We need to label these media people properly. They are Marxists.
mortimer says
My personal conclusion is that journalists are not willfully blind about Islam, but under time constraints and simply UNINTERESTED in religion per se. With the combination of lack of interest and rush, the effect can only be a piece that gets all the conclusions wrong, because the journalists don’t even know when they are being intentionally misled by jihadist mullahs.
The only answer is for editors who are responsible for covering Islam, choose journalists with a solid understanding of the jihad doctrine. Otherwise, the public’s interests will not be served.
PRCS says
So, ask yourselves:
When did you last see anyone, on any television program, correct the host about the labels and phrases “radical Islam”, “extremist/extremism”, radical/radicalized/radicalism, and all of those creative, deceitful multiple adjective definitions of Islam and jihad so many high level politicians have adopted to avoid calling Islam “Islam”–like the “radical Islamic terrorism” Governor Walker so confidently assures us it the proper terminology.
gordon miller says
I have been thinking about your point for quite some time and agree with it completely.
Also true is: Islam is Isis, Isis is Islam.
Plamen says
I think not only the Left is the reason for our current way of altitude towards Islam.
But, first of all, it is our Christianity as a culture, including with its ideology of “love your enemy… turn the other cheek… keep humbleness”.
After Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris and Garland attack in Texas no European and American stood up to commit a revenge, a reverse attack against Muslims in the manner they definitely would have carried it out in case attacks were executed by “Christian avengers” against Muslim events.
Because of our Christianity.
We may not be profound Christians and regular church-goers, however for centuries it is stays deeply immanent in ourselves.
spot on says
I wish the true definition of “turn the other cheek” during the life of Christ had not been redefined and lost. During the time of Christ, there were complicated Roman rules for their soldiers. Soldiers were only allowed to hit a citizen once, subject to harsh penalties. If the soldier hit them twice, the citizen could have it out in a legally fair fight with the soldier, that is, if he thought he could. Early Christians would “turn the other cheek” to challenge the soldier to hit him so the citizen could then whip the soldiers a–. In other words, the current meaning is nearly the opposite of what it was during Christ’s time.
“Turning the other cheek” actually means “Hit me again and I’ll whip your a–.
This is something akin to believing that Islam is a Religion of Peace. People want to believe it but it is not true and never has been.

Great post Spot on!
Lucy Lastik says
I’m more than a little skeptical…….you do have reference for that, of course?
If what you claim is correct, then why why does Jesus tell us NOT to resist the evil person?
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.”
spot on says
Lucy,
There is some controversy regarding the precise ancient meaning, I know, but the true meaning in Christ’s time was much closer to my coined phrase above than to the current accepted pacifist definition. This link is one I could quickly find and it fairly well explains why I said what I said. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=90410

The FBI is looking into threat make against all muslim in Az state as domoncrate terrorism by anti-Islam group the Paritate Front or something like that.
underbed cat says
Awesome Jamie….thank you Robert for this video. i agree and do watch various media channels…some very leftist reporters hang out with CNN, MSN and sometimes even Fox News. They are not speaking with the conviction that knowledge could give them unless they are able to find documented information about the MB or the writings, books and beliefs that come from Islam. So because they believe in the term “diversity”, which is to understand culture…and do not understand they are being deceived when it involves Islam..if they really knew the terror jihadist connection to the religion of peace they would be shocked…but they can’t get there due to misinformation the current leadership. Like Nonie Darwish said on your show I, there is only one Koran. No one beleived Osama bin Laden, and he spoke about his religion in his writings.and his determination to hurt the economy of the U.S. and he tried and many others are trying…this has to be known.
Westman says
As an Agnostic, I get tired of hearing the conflating of “leftist” with secularism and the assumption that only “right” Christians are in the fight against Islamization. Until we start hearing the warnings about Islam coming from the West’s churches it seems to me that secularists are an indisposable part of the resistance.
Love of freedom and self-determination is not a religious function; the Bible actually instructs how to treat slaves. We as humans have risen above that level while adherents of Islam remain in the 7-9th Centuries. Simply put: Islam does not allow self-determination.
Europe certainly isn’t represented by enough practicing Christians to effectively oppose Islam. If it is to be saved it will require enlisting everyone who values freedom and self-determination.
Robin Rosenblatt says
We are in a World wide Islamic Cultural War or 1400-year-old Jihad and we are losing.
We each see a different parts of it in the world and if you put all the violent parts together it adds up to only one cause: a 1400 year old Islamic Cultural War. It is the same as that joke of four blind men touching the elephant.
The names of the Arabs and Muslim Terrorists change but the behavior has been always the same for the last 1400 years.
It is not about land, rights or settlements, water or being politically left or right. If it were it would have been solved long ago. It has not.
It is Cultural War that means Islamic Culture must destroy Western Culture or Western Culture must destroy Islamic Culture. It is a Cultural Genocidal War, just like the American/Indian wars. This time we are the Indians.
Muslims have been fighting each other and others for 1400 years or more. There is no reason that it will stop now. If we want peace we must change Islamic Culture.
The book “Culture and Conflict”, explains it clearly. It shows that current cultural conditions in the Arab Middle East will not support internal development, advancement or peace until there is a major cultural change. “It is critical that we understand our enemy. That is step one in every conflict,” RR. Philip Carl Salzman, INSB # 978-1-59102-587-0.

I will be definitely showing this informative video of Jamie Glazov to a College and Careers Group Who I hope to Radicalize in the most Conservative Manner Possible . But unlike Islamic Recruiters I will probably be arrested and imprisoned . I got some great ideas from this video and really appreciated Jamie’s Explanation of how the left Manipulates and Frames The Dialogue And Discussion Concerning Many Issues .
voegelinian says
Very good. I like the way Glazov focuses on the primary problem: the Western fear of “racism” (in quotes, to differentiate it from actual racism which should be eschewed).
The only reservation I have about the presentation as a whole is his tendency, common in the Counter-Jihad, to fixate on Leftists as the main Western problem — almost as though he thinks PC MC is summed up completely by Leftism (which wouldn’t explain why the majority of Conservatives, Centrists, and the Comfortably Apolitical throughout the West also tend to parrot and regurgitate the PC MC axioms and memes whenever they encounter anti-Islamic language that tests their comfort zone).
