Yesterday I wrote here about yet another anti-Muslim hate crime that wasn’t: a Muslim woman in New York City who was set on fire by some psychopath who, as it turned out, had also targeted non-Muslims. The Muslim victimhood industry has been working in high gear on this one, with victimhood propagandist Linda Sarsour penning a weepy piece in the Guardian, “A Muslim woman was set on fire in New York. Now just going out requires courage.”
But this time even the readers of the hard-Left Guardian aren’t buying the nonsense, and the Guardian has been facing a revolt in its comments section. Like the good Leftists they are, the Guardian has responded in predictably authoritarian fashion, deleting comments left and right that don’t toe the line they want toed. This screenshot of the first few comments gives the flavor of the whole comments section on this article: virtually every comment deleted, with the only one left up blaming Trump.
Maybe common sense is finally dawning even in the darkest corners of dhimmi Britannia, and the Guardian is working furiously to stamp it out.

Pere LaChaise says
Comments on the thread were closed on 9/13. Guardians of sacred victim hood could not control the stream of critique Sarsour’s alarmism engendered so they simply shut it down, after deleting all the evidence of widespread controversy. This does seem to prove the intolerance of the moslem victimologists.
JIMJFOX says
Victimhood is the second Pillar of Islam- after jihad. Followed by hatred, racism and lies…
abad says
I clicked on that link to the Guardian – wow, I never saw so many mod-removed comments on one article before in my entire life. Yes, they are trying to protect Muslim victimhood all right.
And they can keep them.
Waiting says
It is much worse than that though abad, they put the comment thread through the strainer again and completely remove even the deleted comments that they leave that little message up in place of “community rules etc etc…” After all, when the majority of a comment thread has “deleted”/”deleted”/”deleted” one after another an enquiring mind might ask just what exactly did they say to warrant such a “cleansing”?
This leaves anyone reading in under the impression that all is well when quite possibly a majority of comments have already been sent down the memory hole…
No way to tell how many of course.
They must, simply must, know that most people are onto them… Which does beg a small question as to just who they’re trying to convince?
Or they really ARE that dense… Which I don’t personally believe so the reasons are malign.
Keith says
Well said Waiting. I completely agree and the Guardian does seem to remove an enourmous amount of comments from its site. Your last sentence says it all.
Aardvark says
You beat me to it, Abad. I’d noticed the number of deleted comments on any Grauniad site threads related to Islam. I’ve had some relatively mild comments of my own deleted.
I take it as a good sign, though. The number of people ‘getting it’ in the UK is rising, and rising fast.
vcragain says
What is happening is that the press is getting scared that the public already has formed opinions on Islam as a threat, and they feel they have to ‘tamp it down’ before the morons in the population start waving their guns in the air & creating civil war against those who belong to Islam. THEY are our worst nightmare – most human beings -even those who hate Islam and consider it a threat to the West- do not actually want to make war, but we all know there is an undercurrent of mostly males who cannot help themselves, they are ignorant and can be riled up by a few words…once riled up they are very difficult to contain and it gets out of hand quickly. THAT is why the Press/Authority in general is scared now and appears to be ‘trying to hide’ facts. If we could just have a serious discussion without the crazies getting their guns out, we could deal with this situation, those very nuts are the ones that threaten a serious discussion !!!

That filthy hard Left rag is in dire economic straits. In my view – much of the reason for this is their deranged and utterly stupid attitude towards Islam. They support Islam and Muslims no matter what. Why? – because they are deranged, given the cultural facts about Islam concerning women, free speech, religious freedom, homosexuality, the rape behaviour of Muslims and refugees in Europe etc.
They just won’t tolerate ANY criticism of Muslims or Islam. It’s a mental illness of the Left which is partly why they are dying.
JIMJFOX says
Grauniad’s death cannot come too soon- if only the BBC would follow it…
Crusades Were Right! says
I used to comment in the Guardian until I realised that criticism of Islam was “haram”.
A once great newspaper is now just another “politically correct” comic.
Waiting says
I think, if memory serves, the reason I was eventually banned was because I was asking some pointed questions around Mein Kampf and where the sales were greatest (I think it’s Turkey) and why this should be…?
This was due to the G making some comment on the book becoming available in Germany for the first time since 1945 and how racist etc etc it was and the danger of the “far right” taking it as a new instruction manual….
Something like that.
Defen0derofIsliam says
The book Hitler wrote make no sence at all. In the early 1920 antijewish was so common in Germany it didnot have to make sense at all. Antijewish hated ln Gemany start long before Hitler became than nazi. When Hitler was than little boy he didnot hate jew at all.
JIMJFOX says
Me too. Banned. “truth- the new hate speech” should be it’s motto.
H/T Pamela Geller!
Zippza says
Me too. I was banned when they ran an article written by Hamas or Hizbollah – I forget which – whining about the same old stuff they always whine about.
With the background, of course, of their terrorist murdering, rockets, bullying of the local population etc.
What did I say? – I talked about the history of violence, intolerance, cultural apartheid, murder, treatment of women etc in Islam.
In other words – I ran an argument based on ethical ideas, but it was counter to the disgusting attitudes of both Terrorist Islam and the Regressive Left.
That was some years ago. Years later, there are lots of people like me trying to post on similar terms – and getting deleted and banned. And there are lots of people, like me and you, utterly sick of that Leftist rag and how it has taken sides with Terrorist and Rape-fest Islam. £50 million in debt is what I read. I’d like to see the Guardian disappear and never return.
Larry says
The grauniad has always been an out and proud leftard rag. That was its reason for coming into existence.
Thus it has never been a great newspaper, merely a leftard propaganda sheet that has finally come completely out of the closet and shone a spotlight on that red flag nailed to its mast.
August West says
Towards the end of the run for the TV Series “Happy Days” The Fonz (character in the TV show) dressed up in a leather jacket and board shorts in Hawaii and did a jump over a shark enclosure on water skis.
In many people’s eyes Fonz “jumping the shark” marked the end of the popular TV show.
I think that 2016 will be marked as the point in history when the “press” finally “jumped the shark”.
They have collectively exposed themselves as nothing more than “The Ministry of Truth” and their tools are nothing more than speakwrites and memory holes.
Does anybody use the words “press” and “newspaper” and “objective news story” without laughing anymore?
The good news is that this is a free market system, and something will fill this void (hopefully soon).
DHazard says
I was curious to see if there was a word for the delusional pattern of thinking exhibited by The Guardian’s editors and others who display the same disregard for facts. What I came across was a list of 15 common cognitive fallacies (http://psychcentral.com/lib/15-common-cognitive-distortions/).
If you begin with the assumption that Muslims are victims then everything else follows: Hereare the names of the fallacies (which are more or less self-describing). If you want more details then read the article. Most of it is about the cognitive distortions individuals engage in to blunt the uglier truths about themselves. The Guardian and their Leftist accomplices seem to do this on behalf of Muslims by attempting to devalue anyone who disagrees with them:
1. Filtering
2. Polarized (black and white) thinking
3. Overgeneralization
4. Jumping to conclusions
5. Catastrophizing
6. Personlization
7. Contol fallacies
8. Fallacy of fairness
9. Blaming
10.Shoulds
11.Emotiional reasoning
12.Fallacy of change
13.Global labeling
14.Always being right
15.Heaven’s reward fallacy
This last one is common among Muslims. Here is how the website describes it:
“We expect our sacrifice and self-denial to pay off, as if someone is keeping score. We feel bitter when the reward doesn’t come.”
Angemon says
The footnote on that pic is ironically hilarious. “Fearless, independent journalism” – what a joke.
JIMJFOX says
You couldn’t make this stuff up. Still, one Big Lie deserves another.. and another.
Then- “Become a US Guardian member for $49…” Just delusional.
Better idea- send $49 to Jihad watch.
Waiting says
As a completely Stalinised former commenter to this august rag (was never abusive etc etc…just didn’t toe the party line) I notice that the “moderation” as seen in the screen-grab above has, itself, now been removed from the comment thread.
So now there is now no sign that the deletions themselves ever existed…
These people really will have to account for their stance in the years ahead.
They must know that “the people” are onto them now…surely?….
AformerMuslim says
I thought we live in a society which is free and open to all criticism.
Perhaps, the owner of Guardian is Muslim. He/she believes, ‘Whosoever abuses the Prophet [Muhammad] or finds his faults then Kill him.’ Ibn Taymiyyah, 4

My wife and I were just discussing the Orwell book “1984” with our 16 year old grand-daughter yesterday. It appears the ones who want to censor truth and rewrite history are revealing themselves. The thought police have arrived.
Green Infidel says
This isn’t exactly new – Islam-related comments at the Guardian are almost always totally dominated by counterjihadis. So totally, that it’s often left me wondering whether the reach of Jihawatch, and similar sites, are far more than the 100k daily hits. And in response, the Guardian’s been censoring Islam-related comments for ages.

Zippza says
Good to see that – the lying Left in action who DON’T WANT FACTS.
Fine to criticize Christianity and everyone else but NOT Islam with the FACTS about Islam!
Utterly contemptible!
Mong says
The Guardian is the biggest sack of shit in the UK. The weirdos writing for that retarded rag are totally off their heads on socialist air balloons. These people have a backward ideaology so far up their arse it’s aggravating their frontal lobes. It’s a total lost cause because once all the fisherman jumper wearing dicks graduate and encounter the real world, they drop that garbage, hence the fact that they’re going bust and are expected to be out if business by this time next year. What a shame.
jayell says
Dear oh dear, you should be KIND to the ‘Guardian’. It’s an endangered species and can only just about keep itself afloat with money from BBC appointments ads, because it’s losing money like a confirmed alcoholic losing braincells. Sorry, not a wise analogy. I mean the ‘braincells’ with the ‘Guardian’.
Zippza says
Are you a “racist” if you despise the Guardian?
Well, if they could get away with that, they would.
They already take that line if you dislike Islam – which is a perfectly legitimate idea to have.
Except for the Leftards.
You know – the ones who WANT THE MUSLIM VOTE. That’s what a lot of this Leftard, Labour crap is about.
Ej Lizier says
One has to wonder whether the folks at the Guardian, who seem these days to be guardians only of their own Regressive Left political narrative and agenda, notice at all the gaping vortex of irony between their control of public commentary within the website and their long-touted mantra “Comment is free”, allegedly created by one of their veteran journalists, C.P. Smith. And, given the content of many of their pieces, that vortex only widens when one realises that the mantra in its full and original form was “Comment is free, but facts are sacred”.
Josh says
I like how the only comment left in that screenshot of the guardian comments, blames trump for the attacks but sounds entirely sarcastic.
Well we can all thank the Internet for the guardians demise. It means we can read the guardian without actually having to pay for its utter rubish reporting.
Heather says
Victims of some long dead, illiterate desert dweller. Perpetrator of evil. Hard to believe, in the 21st Century, there are those so dumb. There has to be a pay-off.
