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

Guardian omits from AP story the fact that Temple Mount violence was begun by Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar”

Aug 15, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Once again we see that the establishment media’s foremost priority is that no one will think ill of genocidal “Palestinian” jihadis, and that every possible opportunity be taken to demonize Israel.

“Newspaper Edits Out Palestinian Violence From AP Story on Temple Mount Clashes,” by Adam Levick, Algemeiner, August 13, 2019:

On August 11th, The Guardian published an Associated Press article on clashes that day on the Temple Mount, which were instigated by rioting Muslim worshipers objecting to a small number of Jews who were initially allowed to visit their faith’s holiest site. (Sunday marked both the start of the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha and the Jewish fast day of Tisha B’Av.)

According to reports, dozens of Muslim worshipers were injured during the clashes, as well as four Israeli police officers.

There’s no question that the Muslim worshipers were responsible for the violence, as the original AP report explained:

Large numbers of Palestinians had gathered at the gates of the compound early Sunday after rumors circulated that police would allow Jewish visitors to enter the site. The protesters chanted “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) and threw stones at police, who then charged into the compound while firing stun grenades and rubber-coated bullets.

However, The Guardian‘s version of the AP report just so happened to omit that key paragraph on the riot’s cause — leaving readers with no information on why exactly the Israeli police “clashed” with Muslim worshipers….

      So WHO is Apartheid? What do they think ‘No Jews allowed’ is? These lying deceitful hypocritical aggressive pushy Fakes are too much for me to hold back.

    And that is why they call it the “Religion of Peace.” If you don’t believe it they’ll fight with you until they make you say, “Allahu Akbar.”

      All they’ll get out of me is: Jesus is greatest!!!
      And: My God is greater than your ‘god’!

    What’s to be expected? God forbid we criticize Muslims! Of course, it’s okay to even accuse both Christians and Jews as racists if just one of them does something wrong, let alone criticize Islam.

    A British newspaper – certainly they didn’t want to upset the “social cohesion” by possibly “insulting and demeaning” muslims through the means of factually reporting news… I mean, factually reporting news? Who ever heard of a newspaper doing that?!?!?!

    So the Guardian cut and pasted the Associated Press article – but then edited the piece and omitted key facts.

    Folks at the Associated Press should be outraged…

      Actually, James, local papers often edit AP and other wire stories.

      Most hard news stories are written in the “inverted pyramid” style, with the most important information up front, and more incidental details further down.

      But it is one thing to edit for length–which is quite common–and something else again to edit for “political correctness”. *Despicable*.

        Understand, gravenimage.

        Thanks for the reply…

    Right, the muslims invade and commit terrorism and Israel defends against the attacks and all you hear out of it from the media is: “Israel attacks Palestinians…” !

    On another topic, if you go over to Rather Expose Them blog under today, and click back to the next page, where it is still under today’s date but just above the 14th is an article about one of the next democrat candidates and close to the bottom is a link to an article (in blue font) called ‘The Coming Persecution’ and it mentions a lot of the details of what is to come and gives the context for all these calls for our ‘eradication’ from society. I recommend reading the entire article, it’s not that long anyway.

    You know, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction!

      And, it all fits the muslim mindset since they feel entitled to everything, and want to take it inch by inch, and if anyone takes back what is theirs, they see it as an ‘attack’ or ‘aggression’. It’s double standard hypocrisy to the 100th degree. They are the ever ‘entitled’ in their arrogant and microscopic flea brained mindset!

    Hang on, I have no love for the Grauniad but I clicked on the clink and those sentences are there in the piece. They are late in the piece, but there 6th paragraph from the bottom:

    The Guardian continues to sink in my estimation, but has it reached the bottom yet ?

    The fake news goes on, and on, and on….
    Sadly college students suck up this slip, because they are just indoctrinated, but not taught higher level thinking skills. 😥
