The Western establishment media is doing its level best to portray the riots in India as unprovoked Hindu violence against peaceful Muslims who were minding their own business, or at very least peacefully protesting against the new citizenship law, before they were set upon by rapacious Hindus. As this story shows, reality is different. India’s new citizenship law is actually an attempt to protect victims of Muslim persecution in neighboring countries, giving sanctuary to refugees from that persecution. That has Muslims in India enraged, and they began rioting accordingly.
In reality, Ankit Sharma was not a Muslim. The mob that killed him was Muslim. The WSJ has completely inverted reality. It doesn’t say Ankit Sharma was Muslim, but strongly implies it by having him be the victim of a mob chanting “Jai shri Ram.” They were much more likely screaming “Allahu akbar.”
The deep dishonesty of the establishment media, and in particular of the Wall Street Journal, is indicated here. It has never dared to dare the truth about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, but this is above and beyond its usual dissimulation. The WSJ is no longer a news outlet by any stretch of the imagination. Who bought it?
Abraham says
It very unlikely that Hindus killed or had any part in it as shown by hx. However the history and anger by Muslims to the new law is a much easier explanation with plenty of hx behind the murder, rioting and attacks. They’re Jihad is in full swing around the world and the rest of society not Muslim must prepare to fight them across the globe. The Muslum religion has been killing for 1400 years without an end.
Muslims contribute little to technology and would rather us live in the 6th century.
Mural says
Shameful coverage by WSJ. Lost all faith in mainstream media of US and India.
Kenek says
Add Canada to your list except for one or two (rebel.com) all MSM are controlled by the State Broadcaster (Pravda CBC)State Broadcasters towing the liberal party line. Many other media will not talk to them since they are paid by the liberal party for the approved version of the “facts”.
Keys says
“Who bought it ?”
Yes, how many believe this lie by the WSJ ?
And who controls the devious agenda of the WSJ ?
mortimer says
WSJ says: ‘It isn’t VIGILIANTE TERRORISM when MUSLIMS do it.’
Roland says
The WSJ is owned by News Corp, which is increasingly controlled by the younger Murdochs, the children of Rupert. That may be one reason for the WSJ’s increasingly muddled reporting about Islam. Also, as a former subscriber to the WSJ, I have found that the reader comments blog is now heavily censored. Critical comments about Islam often disappear within the hour.
HugoHackenbush says
I find that the wsj allows much unsupported invective as it can be dismissed as ignorant by the uninformed and those willfully blind. However, nearly all comments with scriptural quotations in support of criticism of Islam is quickly “proofed!” Not all but most, in my experience.
Infidel says
Actually, Murdoch himself had close ties w/ the Gulf sheikhs, and therefore saw to it that his news organizations, whatever else they did, never were critical of islam. His sons, being pretty woke, are only gonna make it more pronounced.
I have been watching more of OANN these days, and the number of FNC programs that I watch can be counted on 1 hand.

Muslims even drilled a drilling machine into a 19-year-old Hindu boy’s head in the name of peaceful protest

Apart from burning cars, buses, private businesses, shops etc. Muslims even fired bullets and the left media was busy trying their best to make the terrorist the victims and the actual victims the terrorist.

Acid thrown on paramilitary forces

While Hindu temples were being attacked the left liberal media not only completely ignored it but very conveniently had HD cameras ready outside a mosque where a supposed Hindu climbs a roof and plants a Hindu god flag over the roof and also poses for the camera? and there was a huge outcry that a mosque was attacked? clearly the whole thing was propaganda as Muslims are known to even burn down their own mosques to play the victim and blame the kaffir but why all this all of a sudden?
=================================
Muslims were blocking highways streets violently rioting since the last 3 months against CAA before Trump’s visit things went calm all of a sudden such extreme violence? It was carefully organised by the Left and the Muhammadans to target Trump. They already had intel Jaish-E-Mohammad a pakistani terrorist group with many sleeper cells operating in India would try to assassinate Trump and blame Hindus for it but things did not go their way this was the next best option. In India we blame Modi, in the West we blame Trump and play victim as usual. India’s royal welcome for Trump was yet another proof that Trump cannot be a racist or a bigot so with this we take the attention away.
James Lincoln says
I still read the Wall Street Journal on a daily basis.
It is useful for domestic and international financial information, but anything political has a leftist bias.
And, unfortunately, this bias has leaned even further left in recent years.
In other words, okay to read it – but read with caution – and consider the source.
HugoHackenbush says
Have a digital subscription. It is possible to get in facts about “a certain ideology” as long as euphemisms are used. Actual direct quotations from the Koran, Hadiths, or the first biography of Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq are usually quickly deleted by the moderators. It is still worth the effort to try to inform as this is a global platform. Frequently, I find that going back to article to post the same informative material will pass moderation the next day, when a different person may be looking at the posts (unless there is a complaint in which case the operative principle is “poof” the post and worry about it later or not at all).
Infidel says
Why don’t people use common sense here regarding who’s more likely to protest, riot or disrupt the peace?
The Citizenship Amendment Act has already been passed and is law: there is a challenge before the Supreme Court, which could reverse it, but aside from that, it’s already the law of the land. So if nothing happened, the Hindutva crowd have the law they want, so why would they riot or do anything, when they can move on to other things in their agenda, be it building the Ayodhya temple, campaigning to buy up Kashmiri real estate and so on.
The parties opposed to it – mainly the college going woke Leftists and Mohammedan-lovers – are the ones who wanna get this overturned. Since it’s already passed parliament, they wanna intimidate the BJP into using their same 4/5 majority to rescind the law, since they know that their side will never in an election get anywhere close to the 2/3 needed to do it themselves. While it’s been happening at a sustained pace, they stepped it up during the Trump visit to both embarass the Modi government, as well as to make the West notice. The first didn’t happen, since the president said that it is up to India to decide how to deal w/ it. The second is happening, b’cos the only way they can attract attention is by rioting and bloodletting.
And since they’re the ones that started the riots, it’s irrelevant whether a majority of the victims of the riots are Hindus or Muslims or Sikhs or Christians or Buddhists or Jains or Jews or Parsis.
Or anyone else

Media is getting brazen with its lies. How much more obvious do they have to be to show they are covering for the Muslim mobs

Wall Street Journal says brother of slain Indian official says he was killed by Hindu mob, brother says WSJ is lying
………………..
I can remember when the WSJ was a solid and reliable source.
Infidel says
Their editorial used to be center-right. These days, it’s more of a mouthpeace of the Chambers of Commerce as well as the GOP establishment. Like to this day, their people are not only critical of Trump’s tariffs: they were also critical when Trump, in an executive order about building something (I don’t recall), included in it a clause that required that they be made out of US steel. Kim Strassel was annoyed that foreign steel wasn’t allowed to be used in those projects
Also, the US MSM is often too lazy to do its own work when it comes to India, and all they do is copy-paste from work done by British journalists. I go directly to Indian media for any news about India
stevephoenix72 says
James Lincoln put it very well. As a subscriber myself, the WSJ is useful for financial information—- for information were numbers tell the story and don’t lie;
But the first half dozen or so pages which usually focus on world and domestic political events are almost comically anti-Trump and NYT-style sanitized and slanted screed. In fact it’s interesting to note the connection between the number of “reporters” for that matter that go from the WSJ to the NYT and the reverse. Same mentality, same “woke” shallowness.

Related subject on media lying: Asia Bibi was in France this last week of February 2020, meeting President Macron to ask him for assylum in France. The national radio news broadcaster FranceInfo presented Asia Bibi in the shortest and false way as being a Pakistani citizen persecuted in Pakistan “because she drank from a well reserved to men”. Not a word about Pakistan’s islamic sharia blasphemy laws, nor about the harassment from specifically Muslim women, nor about the numerous immense protests in the streets of Pakistan by Muslim radicals calling for the death of Asia Bibi because of her supposed blasphemy against Islam.
Anonymous says
That is what was broadcasted this Thursday this week on the radio FranceInfo. So the listeners only heard that. If you do a research on Internet inside the radio broadcaster FranceInfo, you can dig and find more in depth information on the subject. But still, this is national audio misinformation clearly keeping the public ignorant about what is Islam.

Anonymous, Asia Bibi and her family have been given asylum in Canada.
She was in France to promote her book, “Enfin Libre!” (“Finally Free!”). Macron did indeed offer her asylum if she wished it, which was nice.
Of course, I wish France had offered her asylum when she was on death row in Pakistan, instead of now when she is safe (as safe as she can be, anyway) in Canada.
