Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

BBC, Reuters paint jihad suicide bomber as “Syrian Migrant Killed in German Blast”

Jul 26, 2016 10:04 am By Robert Spencer

The mass murderer as victim, either of an accident or of “right-wing” “Islamophobia.” This is how the BBC and Reuters, and the rest of the mainstream media, attempt to manipulate public opinion. They’re doing everything they can to keep people ignorant and complacent about the threat posed by Muslim migrants, and about the jihad threat in general.

BBC Syrian migrant dies in German blast

“MSM Paints Muslim Suicide Bomber as ‘Syrian Migrant Killed in German Blast,'” by Trey Sanchez, Truth Revolt, July 25, 2016:

On Sunday, a 27-year-old Syrian Muslim detonated a suicide bomb outside a Germany music festival, killing himself and injuring twelve.

But if you’d read the BBC headline, it wouldn’t be apparent that it was a terrorist attack on innocent people:

BBC Syrian migrant

And Reuters followed suit:

Reuters Syrian migrant

After the BBC received harsh mocking on social media for making the suicide bomber into a “refugee” victim, its headline was changed to “Syrian asylum seeker blows himself up in Germany,” which is a little more accurate, yet still agenda-driven.

At this point, Reuters’ headline remains unchanged and explains that the Syrian man was denied asylum last year. It also states he was denied entry into the music festival….

      I do and few listen here in Europe,and I have been called a ‘ hater’ or’ mentally ill”

      The brainwashing has gone too deep I am afraid.

      But the few that do catch on are a reason for celebration. ( one a year maybe, but better than nothing?)

        Not really that different in America.

        Very strange but Islam is winning everywhere. Or better said West wants to die.

        West has not yet identified the cause of the problem which few curious minds know that it is ISLAM.

        WE NEED DIVINE INTERVENTION.

          We need to get out and vote for Trump, otherwise, Hillary will continue the failed Obama polices of mass muslim immigration, failure to identify the enemy as Islamic Jihadis, and not destroying ISIS immediately. The traitorous left is on the side of the Islamists as leftists want muslim votes for the Dem party.

      The Big BS Corporation is highly pro-Arab. They probably have the largest number of Arabic speaking employees of any public broadcaster in the world. Their large Arabic language department was originally funded by the Saudi Arabian government. The Brits have had a romance with the Arab World ever since Lawrence of Arabia.

    Fortunately, Europe is not North Korea, China or Russia, and the population has more news sources handily available other than those run by the state or kowtowing to the state’s whims.

    • Demsci says

      Jul 26, 2016 at 1:28 pm

      My thoughts exactly. And these media at least COVER events, in totalitarian states, media would be ignoring events, with the kind of Islam-apologetic attitude many media have. Fortunately that’s now not an option to them, due to too much competition.

    If these BBC traitors had been alive in 1939, no one would have realized Hitler had invaded Poland.

    The headline would have read: “Polish army exercising near border” and left out all mention of Germany or Wehrmacht or invasion.

    • gravenimage says

      Jul 26, 2016 at 3:09 pm

      Actually, much of the press in the West whitewashed Hitler and the Fascists all through the 1930s. Those who saw the rising danger were often smeared as “hysterics” and–even more perverse–as “warmongers”.

    I remember that ferry sinking some years ago and how we were shocked that Muslim men saved themselves before rescuing women (or girls). Seems that no atrocities shock us anymore. We’re too ready to excuse everything. (By we, I mean the west).

    How else could these horrible people at BBC manage to look at themselves in the mirror?

      There is also a muslim in charge of Religous Programming at the BBC.

    My letter to WaPo in response to their Trump editorial:

    The July 24 editorial about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump failed to consider the merits of his position on immigration, which is a large part of his appeal. Public anxiety over crime related to illegal immigration, and the government’s glaring failures in relation to it, is real and is not just the result of racism. The same can be said about Islamist-inspired terrorism perpetrated by Muslim immigrants. These instances may be small in number, but they are well-publicized and there have been real victims.

    Add the sense that an already heavily indebted nation cannot continue to subsidize millions of Third World immigrants, and one can understand Mr. Trump’s appeal — an appeal that outweighs Mr. Trump’s many foibles.
    While the editorial board made valid points about the admirable contributions of immigrants, the media’s failure to adequately discuss the negatives of immigration has created a vacuum that Mr. Trump has filled.

    Even when they tell the ‘truth’ they tell it back to front:-

    “On Sunday, a 27-year-old Syrian Muslim detonated a suicide bomb outside a Germany music festival, killing himself and injuring twelve.

    Should surely read:-

    Twelve injured when 27-year-old Syrian Migrant detonates suicide bomb outside a German music festival

    But why is his age even mentioned at all: It’s to make him appear more human and to elicit sympathy, but for what and why?

    And why are the ages of his victims not also included?

    OK, so we all know the reasons, but I still don’t get why I have to pay the BBC to do this.

    I have family that lives in London 50% of the time and they refuse to acknowledge the problem, falling back on the “I know lots of great Moslems” carnard. They need to wake up, and soon. While not a Trump fan, he is the ONLY public leader who is willing to say what needs to be said and propose reasonable policy in response.

    • Norger says

      Jul 26, 2016 at 11:39 pm

      Exactly the way I feel about Trump. He is one of the few US pols who dares to speak the truth about Islam. And Hillary is bought and paid for by the Saudis, who provided the ideological and financial support for 9/11.

    • Keith says

      Jul 27, 2016 at 2:42 am

      Don’t forget the other problem with all of this which is where people don’t want to get involved. Let me explain.

      Yesterday I was driving and had my elderly parents and my wife in the car, the news came on about the attack on a church in France no other details were given at that time. My first comment was I bet that the attackers are muslims. My parents attitude was it’s none of our business and we shouldn’t get involved. I believe many people have that attitude.

      People are having a major problem understanding that whether we choose to get involved or not muslims will ensure that we are involved, they only have to look at the Middle East, Libya, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran and many other muslim majority countries.

      Ha, good one. And I was just wondering what a “German Blast” was.

      Good job, BBC. You successfully neutralized the language, and obscured the role of the “Syrian Migrant” as the perpetrator of violence. Anyone reading that headline would assume he was the victim of some mysterious “German Blast” of unknown origin, in addition to being victimized by the immigration system. In fact he simply killed himself with his own evil actions. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

  17. WorkingClassPost says

    Jul 26, 2016 at 8:15 pm

    On most of the channels they’ve said that he detonated himself ‘after being refused entry’ to a music festival, as if he only did it in retaliation for being turned away.

  18. Norger says

    Jul 26, 2016 at 11:34 pm

    Denied asylum and then, to add insult to injury, denied entry into a music festival. VERY Islamophobic. Is it any wonder the target of such rampant discrimination would blow himself up?

    Breaking earlier today: Two Young Muslims Shot Dead Leaving Place of Worship in France.

  20. Bristow says

    Jul 27, 2016 at 7:32 am

    The headline on the ABC (Australian version of the BBC) was something like: “Syrian dies after being denied entry to concert.”

    The implication was that the poor man was so distraught after being denied entry that he died of dejection (or something equally ridiculous).

  21. steve says

    Jul 27, 2016 at 8:01 am

    ‘Surprised the Muslim sycophantic B.B.C. missed a headline such as .. ‘Bullied, migrant survivor, driven to sacrifice his young life in protest at the continued, German oppression of Holy islam.

    Re: “The mass murderer as victim”

    So, what else is new?! The MSM has been doing that (and still does) when it comes to Arabs terrorist acts in Israel. The only change is that now, the victims are not Jews.

  23. Ann says

    Jul 27, 2016 at 5:36 pm

    Remember that Spencer was denied entry into the UK by the vile Teresa May.

    The only conclusion I can come to is that the authorities, known or unknown, and the mainstream media are waging war against the people of Europe.
