U.S. Media Covers Up Muslim Atrocities Against Hindus in Reporting on Delhi Riots

Mar 2, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

Fake news is international. “Over 200 million Muslims call India home,” Bernie Sanders tweeted Wednesday. “Widespread anti-Muslim mob violence has killed at least 27 and injured many more. Trump responds by saying, “That’s up to India. This is a failure of leadership on human rights.” Bernie is, as usual, wrong. His tweet reflects the American establishment media’s position that the riots in India over the last few days are examples of Hindu violence against Muslims, but they only maintain that position by an extremely selective, misleading, and inexcusably irresponsible presentation of what is going on in India.

The disinformation begins with the establishment media description of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which is the cause of the rioting. In an article entitled “Trump declines to condemn India’s anti-Muslim law,” the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that President Trump had “declined…to condemn India’s controversial new citizenship law, which discriminates against Muslims.” The law, said the Times, “excludes Muslims and has helped fuel a new wave of communal violence….The law passed by India’s parliament last year prioritizes citizenship for Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians while excluding Muslims.”

That’s partially true. Gulf News is closer when it says that “the Citizenship Amendment Act allows for the fast-tracking of applications from religious minorities including Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, but not Muslims.” Why would these religious minorities be given preferential treatment? Because they are being persecuted in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. Who is persecuting them? Muslims. So the Citizen Amendment Act offers refuge to these persecuted minorities, and not to people among whom may be their persecutors.

What exactly is wrong with doing this? Are non-Muslims not actually being persecuted in those three Muslim countries? They are, and as The History of Jihad shows, the Islamic jihad against Hindus is a 1,400-year-old war. The LA Times’ headline shows how the charge of being “anti-Muslim” is used to intimidate and silence anyone who dares stand against the jihad or with its victims.

In reality, every nation on earth should offer a similar refuge. Muslims in India made that abundantly clear as far back as December, when they first began rioting over the CAA, throwing stones and torching vehicles. The riots got a new impetus when President Trump visited India; apparently the Muslims in India determined that the best way they could show that there need be no law protecting victims of Muslim persecution was by brutalizing innocent non-Muslims. The rioters don’t seem to be aware of the irony.

But you’d never know any of this from the media in the United States. One telling incident took place on Monday night, when a 51-year-old Hindu named Vinod Kumar was murdered by a Muslim mob in Delhi for the crime of having a sticker reading “Jai Shri Ram” on his motorcycle. The whole thing was captured on a video that went viral, featuring a crowd screaming “Allahu akbar” as Kumar is killed. But the tragic story of Vinod Kumar has not been reported in the Western media; nor have the stories of other Hindus who have been murdered by rampaging Muslim mobs.

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    Glad to see someone raising a voice for the truth that is unfolding in India.

    The actual intention of the Muslim Jihadis of India is to increase their own population by getting truck loads from Pakisatan, Afghanisatan and Bangladesh. This will give them control over several establishments and vote bank, which is currently missing in most parts of India.

    I’m from Delhi and it was shocking to see how the international media has shown the whole nightmare to be an anti-muslim riot rather than the other way around. I will never believe the media again, its just pure evil and sick!!

    Of course, we forgot, who funds universities and media with grants, cash investments from the middle east to sweeten the new media? Who has the majority vote in the U.N. of 56+the Palestinian authority of Hamas, to hide jihad and silence factual speech as hate speech Why hide violence …..oh to protect the introduction of sharia laws. To hide the massive SA influence of the Deobondi mosques/movement in India that Phil Haney spoke about and informed the counter jihad world about the organizations that seek to implement sharia laws?
    Who still runs the deep state and protects the global islamic movement growing within the U.S. and worldwide?
    When I heard Pres.Trump was visiting India……my thoughts were fear, he is visiting the most dangerous area. And in New Delhi riots showed the reality of this group that may have started while he visited? He made one concillitory remark about Islam that did not go too well in a round about way also criticized it as intolerant I thought I caught that part. The Hindu’s are under attack by jihad riots.
    He had a enornmous welcome by India, the crowds at the stadium must have been a nightmare for security of the Presidents’ visit but a welcome sight.

    Human rights “has two meanings, one for the U.S rights granted by Constitution, life, liberty and freedoms of speech Etc. and another when said by a muslims for Islam/ Quranic rights granted by Islam sharia law only for Muslims. So the deception is when muslims speak they speak only for muslims and their right to jihad, mosques qurans and conquest. It’s completely out of the sphere of knowledge in the left, liberal mind…..especially if they want their jobs.

    So why allow Pledge of Office to be taken on a Quran? Why allow threats to those who speak?

    Bernie’s campaign manager is a Pakistani American and hence every statement issued by that old fart is Anti India

        In 2016, a significant number of Indian-Americans left the Dems and voted for Trump b’cos… Huma Abedin. This time, Faiz Shakir succeeds Huma Abedin.

        I think the Dems have written off the Indian vote: within India itself, 50% of the non-BJP vote and 65% of the BJP vote is pro-Trump. When you have that, a good portion of those sentiments are bound to spill over to Indian-Americans, particularly first generation ones. Trump has more Hindu support than Tulsi Gabbard amongst the community, which is revealing

    The Bernie campaign and the establishment media are in too deep with islamists. There is no safe way for either of them to change course now.

      Yeah. While I’m normally anti-communist, I was open to hear his ideas about raising wages, making healthcare universal, fighting political establishment oligarchs and so on. However, if that means that I have to put up w/ American jihadists of 50 shades of green, no can do!

      gravenimage Dejavu all over again, I was completely ignorant when the “ethnic cleansing” charges were non stop against the Serb’s. I’m not completely informed about that episode this many years later. I knew something didn’t smell right but I had no idea the level of mis-information the enemedia had sunk to promote clinton and the globalist agenda. I didn’t get internet until 08 and it’s been a slow process of finding out that I wasn’t the only one who felt like the basic rules for right and wrong were being violated. Believe it or not at that time I had no Idea about the difference between liberals vs conservatives. At this point the more I learn and witness the more insulted I feel about the standards for even the most basic standards for right and wrong are being violated. I still question their motives. As in (what’s in it for them)? What do these people get out of promoting or covering up for destructive agendas? They feel they are immune from the consequences at the very least. But for how long? Why isn’t it obvious that jihad is destructive to everyone who isn’t muslim? And even then there’s violence between suuni & shia. That’s not a local problem, it’s everywhere they are or go to globally. It seems every country has their own enemedia.
