Always, job one for the establishment media is to protect the image of Islam.
“Nets Omit Islamic Ties in New Mexico Kidnapping, Starved Children Case,” by Nicholas Fondacaro, Newsbusters, August 7, 2018:
As we continue to get updates on more gruesome discoveries and the squalor living conditions present at a New Mexico compound that included 11 starving children (ages one to 15) and the dead body of one child, one key detail had gone totally unreported by the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC): The ties to radical Islam.
Last Friday, the Taos County Sheriff’s Office executed a raid on a makeshift compound in the New Mexico desert in the search for 4-year-old Abdul-Ghani, who was believed to have been abducted by his father 39-year-old Siraj Wahhaj in Georgia back in December. And according to the Sheriff’s Office, what they found was horrific, even “third world”…
The raid was a high stakes operation that required “a tactical approach for our own safety because we had learned the occupants were most likely heavily armed and considered extremist[s] of the Muslim belief,” Sheriff Hogrefe explained in a press release. Two men were arrested while three women who were also in the compound were detained and then released. “[A]ll 11 children were immediately taken in protective custody and later turned over to the state CYFD division,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
The missing child was not found. A child’s body was discovered on the property but had yet to be identified by authorities.
According to a warrant released on Monday, and reported by Fox News, “Wahhaj told the boy’s mother he wanted to perform an ‘exorcism’ on his then-3-year-old son because he believed he was ‘possessed by the Devil.’ The boy suffered from seizures and couldn’t walk…”
If the case couldn’t get any grimmer, the New York Post discovered that Wahhaj’s father (who shares the same name) was named “as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He also was a character witness in the trial of convicted terror plotter Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman.”
When Wahhaj was taken down by authorities, he was armed to the teeth, according to the Sheriff’s Office…
While all three networks dedicated time to the story over the last couple of day, none of them had mentioned the ties to radical Islam. It would be one thing to not report it if it was pure speculation, but since the Taos County Sheriff’s Office came out and declared them “extremist[s],” it was a key detail that needed to be included….
mortimer says
‘Umdat al-Salik (Reliance of the Traveller) is a manual of Islamic law certified by Al-Azhar as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2).
In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law. In accord with this, in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
These killings are IN PERFECT ACCORDANCE with backward, barbaric, Bronze-Age Sharia law.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Mortimer.
There are some pretty vicious people who still at least protect their children. Not pious Muslims, though.
MJ says
You say “someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law” however, this happened in the USA and he should receive the death penalty for everything he has done his son and to all those poor other children involved. There should be no long drawn out trial… they should just give him the legal injection now
Mariella says
Yes imededately this has got to stop!!!
J.B says
Agreed, im sure there is a special place in hell for him
Jim says
Well said
Darryl Kerney says
The entire chapter “O”, “Justice”, details the barbaric nature of islam, along with disobedient children it says that apostates deserve to be killed and non muslims likewise can be killed with no indemnity. As for the section on Jihad, it clearly states that jihad is obligatory on the Ummah in general, but not for every individual IF enough others are engaged in it, and makes it very clear that it means warfare against the unbelievers to spread islam.
Mo says
Are you making this point to try to condone these actions??
gravenimage says
No–just to show that it is mainstream Islam.
John says
You think that’s bad, read the Bible. Equally disturbing. Sex slaves and stonings galore.
Kat says
Yes and those events happened by other people, NOT Jews or Christians. There were slaves though but there were biblical laws on treatment of slaves, some of which said you had to allow them rest and you could not beat them severely and it was the law to give them their freedom after so long.
Tony says
For Christ sakes, don’t bring up bible laws that’s are so damn for back and have been written 1000 times over. If your that naeive and are backing up your arguments based off a book that was written as far was 3500 years don’t post please.
Kevin MacDonald II says
Doesn’t make a difference what you think about either religion.
Muslims are fanatical about their religion, no doubt about it. But soon you will see the Jews and Gentiles just as fanatical.
The Bible is the Only religious book that has a God that was never a mortal. So to eliminate the Jews would result in the Bible as a lie and other religion(s) as the truth. You see the Bible states that the twelve tribes of Israel are guaranteed to go to Heaven.
And that fight is about to happen. Iran is bolstering Syria and Hezbollah. They have publicly announced that the Jews must be eliminated.
No Christian will ever allow this to happen. No matter what you think and/or believe.
Iran will not stop. And neither will the Jews and Gentiles
Marky says
Yeah, but even the most fanatical of Christians won’t murder members of their own family because of ‘honor’, or rape your wife because she is an Infidel, or blow themselves up (or coach others to blow themselves up) so they can kill he Unbelievers.
S h annon says
I see what your doing your trying to defend Islam by trying to compare to bible not even close sorry you know nothing of what the bible says
Cory says
That may be true but this did not happen in an Islamic country. Muslim law holds no power with in the United States of America.
Bob says
Did they omit the fact that there was human fecal matter everywhere?
How about that there was probable polygamy and even slavery going on here? Or perhaps an honor killing?
This situation/scene is straight out of the Sahel in Africa…
gravenimage says
Worst of all, there was the dead body of a child in this compound.
Key says
The betrayal of our press by not reporting the facts is worrisome. Their responsibility it is to inform a free people so that people can make decisions for the common good. So many intelligent and good people believe they are informed because they are trusting the press to do their job.
k9blueman says
I am College Educated and now Retired LEO….I have come to not believe a Single word of the ABC, CBS, or NBC, CNN, Medias. They are shown and proven themselves to be totally Libtard Controlled, supported, and Left minded. This example is their need to totally suppress the very Idea of the threat Islam poses in this country.
Bill says
Your are correct. Sadly, what is happening with the mainstream reporting of this story is all we are going to have left to read in about three months time. Maybe less. The purge of the internet has begun. It is Infowars now, but soon it will be all non-leftist platforms, including this one.
The internet gave us freedom from the mainstream print and broadcast media. Understanding that, they and the Democrat party moved to control that media. They have largely succeeded.
We will be reduced to smoke signals and semaphore stations. Time to relearn Morse Code.
Lapin says
By calling people libtards you take away any credibility being a LEO may have given you, if that’s even true.
Batt says
Not true at all The term “libtard” is a compound word derived from the connection between liberal and retard.
Hiding the connection between horrific crimes and Islam is one example among thousands, though the word retarded is too kind of an adjective for that. Not acknowledging that there are differences between the sexes is another. Killing unborn babies and selling them by the body part is one more. Obama shipping billions of dollars to the world’s largest sponsor of Islamic terror is another. Having a meeting to decide how to put a political spin on the attack at Benghazi while our ambassador was still alive is another. Thinking the USA should embrace Socialism when the Khmer Rouge, North Korea, the former USSR and Venezuela have already made it clear that is a tragically foolish idea is one more.
So yes…..libtard is a fine description.
Gary says
OK, what would the correct or accurate definition be if not Libatard ?
Dave says
TRUTH, the MEDIA MAGGOTS need to held in the pure light of TRUTH. How and when will this happen? They have so much blood on their hands.
CB says
So true! How do you prepare yourself for whatever if the news is so biased that you can’t get the full truth!
Kay says

Mick says
The liberal media in the United States is just following the lead of European news agencies in turning a blind eye to Islamicist atrocities and making excuses, they are still pushing the lie that Islam is a religion of peace totally ignoring history.
Islam is actually not a real religion but a tyrannical political philosophy that glorifies death for the useful idiots who commit such atrocities to obtain paradise which is a lie!
somehistory says
Yes, the “image of islam”,; the “image of the wild beast” worhsipped by satan’s children and which is forced on others by the threat and blade of the sword.
The media people have just given in to the threat.
shoehorn says
The MSM can’t trust their audience with the truth; they might get the right idea about Islam.
Logic&Reason says
The MSM remembers Charlie Hebdo. End of story. They know what’ll happen to them if they start telling the truth about Islam. Besides, they’re simply the propaganda arm of the Left. Trump has pulled back that curtain.
Ironic how they signal virtue by ignoring the truth about Islam, supporting illegal immigration, covering up for the Clintons and Obama…..the list goes on…..
Terry Gain says
The MSM have deluded themselves. They actually think Christianity is a bigger threat than Islam.
Donovan Nuera says
Linda Sarsourpuss idolized (in a non-haram manner, of course) the imam grandpa Wahhaj at the ISNA jihad-fest last year…on video. Time to lock them all up under the Patriot Act….I mean if not them, who???!!
Terry Gain says

*Ugh*. Thanks for that link, Terry.
PRCS says
And those networks who do cover it (Fox, as an example) refer to Muslim “etremists”.
gravenimage says
Hardly perfect, PRCS–but better than not identifying them as Muslim at all.
Anne says
And how many more of these barbaric compounds exist in our country!?
robeaver says
Jeff sessions task force will solve all problems.
Don says
🙂
Bill says
That would be hilarious if Jeff Sessions was not already a big part of the problem.
gravenimage says
ABC, CBS, NBC omit all mention of Islamic ties in New Mexico compound starved children case
………………….
Just shameful.
Jesd says
True. And could it be that they “have blood on their hands.”
Joe don george says
Just think Ashley Judd wants to live in their world. Our news media and the former executive branch have been protecting terrorist who want to kill us. Shame on you who are suppose to give us information about who is our enemy.
Xero_G says
Two weeks ago, in Toronto’s Greektown district, a young Muslim male walked for several blocks shooting his handgun into restaurants, killing two and injuring 13. ISIS claimed him as their “soldier” and police found evidence he was an ISIS sympathizer but the official cause was ruled, “mental illness” after a professional Muslim media spokesman/apologist made a statement for the shooter’s family. (story covered here in JW)
I asked a colleague of mine who lives in Toronto what they thought of the shooting and their answer was predictably…
“Mental illness is a terrible thing”!
k9blueman says
Yes….that mental illness call Libtardation…is a terrible thing and needs to be somehow addressed.
John says
The mainstream media willfully turn a blind eye, since they all are infiltrated/controlled by Marxist socialist globalists. They are trying to establish a new world order consisting of one worldwide state without borders. They’re using Islam as a means to achieve this goal. Millions of people will be murdered in the process.
S Mark Huber says
Same with the asswipe that shot the police officer in Springs….not hardly a mention of his Islamic background……but a congressman from New York that happens to be republican and charged with inside trading has everyway including Sunday a connection with Trump, it was so bad and Trump mentioned so many times I thought the story was about him…..only when it can paint a negative narative on someone they hate, but the press love Islamic terrorists, so not a word.
Logic&Reason says
Mental illness IS a terrible thing….to use as a cover for bad ideological software running in the brain.
How convenient for the apologists that evil programs like “Jihad-Martyrdom 1.0” manifest themselves as “mental illnesses” in Western societies.
Yep…insanely convenient…..

Clive Stephen Delmonte says
Israel should consider setting up its own news & views broadcasting station in the US.
Michael Bohannon says
Few of the mentioned “media” have neglected to also state that this crud was also training the kids to be school shooters
Phil Siders says
So it seems, even the facts we now have a POTUS that is more With the people than ever. And the fact he Knows and had brought to light the fact that main stream media is a total leftist ran controlled new world agenda driven regime, we must All do what we can to show these conglomerates that they are now exposed for what they truly are. FAKE NEWS!
Lisa says
Fox covered it and told the real story http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/08/08/man-arrested-at-new-mexico-compound-was-training-kids-to-commit-school-shootings-court-documents-say.html

Richard Spivey says
Why were the women released? weren’t they just as culpable by the mere fact of being there? Seems to me when they released the 3 women, they released 3 radical islam terrorists right back into the community
gravenimage says
Yes–unless they were being held captive they are.
Richard & Veronica Reimann says
Why were the women released they are just as guilty
Jensine says
Of course the main stations will not report it They are Muslim loving socialist news. They are Muslim loving socialist news. Shame on them for not letting the American people know what really is going on .
THERESA VONPLINSKY says
CBS had a story including the Imam in the story yesterday: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/siraj-wahhaj-arrested-amalia-new-mexico-father-imam-possible-link-1993-world-trade-center-bombing-court-documents/
Dave says
NBC does mention then being Muslim extremists. I hate it when we get stuff wrong, it makes people believe the lies out there.

….again and again. And NOW, again. At least we can count on our media for one thing: Consistency in disinformation.
Blaine says
CBSNews dot com did mention it online though it was glossed over or not mentioned on tv. I shared an article by them about it on my page actually.

Balpspot says
Sorry guys. I know this will NOT be a very popular opinion here but, I don’t recall the MSM ever referring to the “Baptist Jeffrey Dahmer or the “Catholic Charlie Manson”. The point I’m trying, (poorly), to make is we as a society cannot stoop to attaching religious labels to lunatics. Does anyone here consider Harry Truman a Baptist mass murderer? His decision lead to over the death of over 200,000 innocent people.I will not debate his motives nor am I calling him a lunatic, I’m simply pointing out the ridiculousness of attaching a religious label. Thank you, have a nice life.
