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

New York Times buries nationalities and omits refugee status of London jihadis

Sep 21, 2017 12:02 pm By Robert Spencer

The “Paper of Record” can’t have people getting the idea that there might be something wrongheaded about one of the Left’s central causes.

“Media Criticism: NYT Buries Nationalities Of London Bombers And Omits Refugee Status In Report,” by Will Ricciardella, Daily Caller News Foundation, September 20, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):

In a report detailing new arrests in connection with the London subway bombing Wednesday, The New York Times omitted the refugee status of two suspects and reports that connect a third to Islamic motives.

“Three people have been arrested in a 24-hour period in Wales” in connection to the attack, begins The Times’ article. “Scotland Yard said two men, ages 48 and 30, were arrested on Wednesday under counterterrorism laws.”

Oddly enough, without first divulging anything that ties any of the suspects or the bombing to Islamic terrorism, The Times reported that ISIS had claimed responsibility, but authorities are trying to “piece together the events” to ascertain any influence by “extremists.”

In short, the report comprised of only 11 paragraphs, it wasn’t until the eighth paragraph that The Times provided context in the report by detailing arrests made on Saturday:

An 18-year-old Iraqi orphan who had a reputation for getting into fights and had been in the foster care of a retired couple, and a 21-year-old from Syria who had escaped the civil war there and was working at a fried-chicken shop.

The report left out that both of the suspects arrested were refugees. The 18-year-old was described by The Times’ as an “orphan” from Iraq, and the 21-year old from Syria. Both suspects had attended a foster home well known for taking in refugees.

The third paragraph of the report mentions the arrest of a 25-yearold suspect, but ignores entirely reports that allude to Islamic influence….

    I don’t read or listen to Alex Jones’, ” Info Wars”, but do wonder how he could have chosen a program name that so accurately describes the devolution of journalism.

    The NYT omissions were intentional to fit an agenda. Maybe a more accurate description than “fake news” is “Agenda News”.

      I’m afraid Alex Jones is a 9/11 “Truther” who believes that America is responsible for slaughtering her own people to make Islam look bad.

      The 21 year old Syrian had lived in Egypt safely for several years. He – along with his brothers and sisters decided to illegally enter Europe via Italy a couple of years ago. His brother’s family now illegally reside in Terheijden (Netherlands), whilst he then decided to illegally enter the UK in the back of a lorry. Bet the NYT never mentioned that, either…..

    By that action the Times endorses terror.

    The issue is not Islam.
    Islam has not changed in 1400 years.
    Islam’s core principle is that it cannot be changed or reformed.
    The Issue is the rise of political infantilism and magical thinking in mainstream Western institutions since 1960 via so-called ‘social science’ departments in prestigious Western universities.
    That is the Issue.
    It is no accident that Islamic states have given prodigious sums of money to such Institutions for decades. It has borne fruit.
    You are not going to change Islam, or Islamic Terrorism, or its tactics.
    The only hope for the West is to reclaim some sense of national purpose and destiny.
    That is is as unlikely as reforming Islam while Western institutions are taking Islamist money.

    This is the new tactic of the MSM, give no initial description of the Muslim terrorists except their age, especially their Arabic names. In Australia the only information provided was that the suspect was an 18 year old, that was it, and they never gave out his name.

    The MSM are trying everything to hide the fact Muslims are the ones doing the terrorism, but everyone knows anyway.

      The minute they do not give out the names everyone knows they are Muslims. It is as much of a giveaway now as telling us what their names are.

      Any other type of crime report is liberally garnished with names, where they come from, nationality, and the fact they belong to a Football gang, or neo Nazi group or a crime syndicate or whatever.

      On the subject of Muslim terrorists there is silence. It is a dead giveaway and everyone has wised up to it.
      (Except the Government and all authority in this benighted country)

        Completely correct. In the UK when we hear the word Asian in conjunction with rape/grooming gangs and honour killings, we all know the perpetrators and paedophiles aren’t Sri Lankan / Thai / Korean etc

    Those that know fill in the gaps, those that don’t know don’t notice the gaps
