In the name of political correctness, the leftist ideologues are at it again, abetting jihadists by publicly denying their destructive ambitions for the West. This time, it’s NPR stating that Mateen “evoked ISIS as a ‘cover story’ to gain more publicity.”
This make-it-up-as-you-go approach has no limits in the propaganda war against truth. It’s a privilege to be living in a free democracy where such folly can be openly exposed as the risk to public safety that it is.
It wasn’t enough for broadcaster Scott Simon that Mateen pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, or that Mateen cased Disney and the Pulse in the company of his wife; it wasn’t even enough that “Disney notified FBI the couple may have been casing Disney in April”; and that on the day of the Pulse massacre, Mateen posted on the internet: “Now taste the Islamic state vengeance.” For Simon, this was all part of an elaborate publicity stunt.
In addition, although the FBI released transcripts of 911 calls that Mateen made during his massacre and they were redacted with content relating to Islam removed, according to Robert Spencer “even what has been released shows that Orlando jihad mass murderer Omar Mateen was acting avowedly in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings.”

“NPR: Mateen Only Evoked ISIS as a ‘Cover Story’ to Gain ‘More Publicity’…for Shooting 100!”, by Tim Graham, NewsBusters, June 20, 2016:
On NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday, the play-down-Islam game was in full swing. The headline online was “Orlando Shooter Update: Few Warning Signs Point To Radicalization.”
NPR anchor Scott Simon said unnamed federal officials [translation: Obama appointees?] were “struck by the fact that the shooter, Omar Mateen, doesn’t seem to have exhibited any of the warning signs often associated with radicalization. They’re exploring whether Mateen invoked ISIS’s name not because he follows that group, but perhaps in hopes of getting more publicity for his attacks.”….

I was told the same shit by a friend at church. Christians are completely unprotected because of MSM lies.

Cognitive dissonance is central to many forms of persuasion to change beliefs, values, attitudes and behaviors.
It’s just a slow form of Brainwashing.
Norger says
Any of the warning signs? ANY OF THE WARNING SIGNS?! Like cheering 9/11, making Islamic supremacist comments to co-workers, having a Taliban sympathizer for a father, social media posts sympathetic to ISIS, vast consumption of jihadi porn, attendance at a terrorist mosque, GETTING REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE FREAKING FBI?!!!! Spencer is 100% right; this would be comical if it weren’t so serious.
Jaladhi says
The unnamed federal official, I bet, is a Muslim who is pushing this narrative of guns and mass shooting and the “killer did not exhibit any warning signs associated with radicalization”. May I ask this idiot how many of these killers in the past have shown any signs of radicalization and are caught before their murderous spree? Any time this happens the members of the killer’s mosque always say the same thing -“didn’t show any sign of radicalization”
JerryJ26 says
This is the reason I gave up on NPR. They pulled this same stunt about the Westgate Mall massacre in Nirobi.

On-point, but funny video from MadTV.

That was hilarious. Sad that it was performed 4 years ago, yet is still timely today. This tells me the cover-ups have been going on exactly the same all that time.We have learned nothing in 4 years. The attacks continue unabated.

I hope history will judge Obama most harshly
El Cid says
And, Loretta purges it from the recording.
It is Islamophobia to actually quote the Jihadists in Obama’s America.
I believe people are so afraid that they resist even thinking that Islam is different from their parent’s religion.
Angemon says
So he wanted fame for himself and therefore he tried to “glue” himself to a terrorist group, even though news reports would say “ISIS member attacks club, scores dead” instead of “Omar Mateen attacks club, scores dead”.
Hmmm…….
Oh, and what “warning signs of radicalization” would those be? Cheering the 9/11 attacks?
Guest says
You call 49 dead a publicity stunt?
Norger says
Touché. Yes, that’s exactly what NPR is calling it.
JS says
Just for the sake of argument, I wonder what the media would say if Mateen had pledged allegiance to Presbyterian Church of USA or to Southern Baptist Convention? Any thoughts?
miriamrove says
Yes. They would call him and them right wingers who hate gays…….m
Norger says
Further proof that right wing extremists are more dangerous than Islamic terrorists.

Haha…Loretta the Lyncher thinks the same thing…

Why is US taxpayer money funding npr ? It is a leftist/islam loving/socialist propaganda broadcasting station. End all funding for npr and disband npr.

npr may find it difficult to wash off all of the dirty ties when the truth is being revealed by others.
Jesus said nothing can remain secret, but everything is revealed.

NPR whitewashes Mateen’s jihadist motive, calling his pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State a publicity stunt

Yeah–after all, How could any Muslim *really* take Islam seriously? sarc/off

NPR thinks pretty highly of itself. But it’s leftist Islamophilia is increasingly obvious.
There is still some good reporting but overall the rise of smug little articles has caused me to refer to npr as “short attention span radio”.

What the heck does a DEAD man need publicity for? This logic is beyond the Twilight Zone!
Jay Boo says
We must respect Muslims even above ourselves.
Obo says so.
Mateen was sent to a separate morgue.
We are told this was out of respect for the victims.
While that is plausible.
Could there be much more to the story such as shameless Muslims full of Islamic sense of entitlement insisting on special accommodations concerning this deceased murdering Muslim despite his non-Muslim victims being present in the very same room?
Tom says
I was attacked by two young Muslims on the streets of Melbourne Australia for refusing Muslim literature. I am a 70 year old great grand father and was kicked in the heart area by one of these thugs! The police did nothing about this assault, and when looking at the video footage, were looking more for excuses to dismiss the complaint than evidence to convict.

I’m so sorry this happened to you, Tom–but I am not surprised. Nor am I surprised by the weak police response, I’m afraid.

It almost certainly was a publicity stunt

Well, of course! Don’t *lots of people* go out and slaughter scores of innocent victims in the name of a fascist ideology when they want a little publicity?
Hey, some people give away free samples or hire celebrity spokespeople–to each their own, right? sarc/off
