MSM Dhimmis and the Islamic Cartoons
It should surprise no one that when given a choice between free speech and political correctness, the leftist twerps who dominate the media would choose the latter — even now that political correctness seems to require that we subjugate ourselves to the barbaric misogynistic cult that is Islam.
Although the cartoons are obviously newsworthy, and would not offend any reasonable person, the NY Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times and almost every other paper in the country refuse to reprint them. The sanctimonious explanation that they don't want to offend anyone's religious beliefs is particularly comical considering the source. Whether out of fear of terrorist reprisals or simply out of cultural self-loathing, they are voluntarily sacrificing their precious freedom of speech in order to subjugate themselves to the whims of Islamic savages. Neither explanation does much to restore respect for the increasingly and rightfully despised mainstream media.
Last night Fox News reported that the only US papers with enough character to republish the cartoons are the following:
- The New York Sun
- The Philadelphia Inquirer
- The Rocky Mountain News
- Riverside Press-Enterprise
As Fox also reported, the cartoons are so mild that the Danish Imam Ahmed Abu Laban had to mix phony pictures in with them to get his fellow Mohammadans worked up. One of these was actually an AP photograph of a guy wearing a pink pig snout and fake ears for a French hog-calling contest.
Speaking of the AP, that organization has decided on everyone else's behalf that we don't need to see the pictures on the transparently specious grounds that it won't "distribute content that is known to be offensive, with rare exceptions."
The cowardly liars at AP have an inordinate influence on what the mainstream media presents to us as the news. Fortunately we now have alternatives, so that we can find out for ourselves what is really going on.
For anyone who hasn't seen these cartoons and has been left by the MSM's sandal-licking dhimmis to assume that there really is something outrageously offensive about them, here they are again:

I just have one question to everyone, how do you think the world would have reacted if an Arabic Newspaper posted the same cartoons naming Moses or Jesus. thanks and God bless

It wouldn't have reacted. No one would have cared.

Moses and Jesus were largely peacable and led people to freedom. Now, Joshua, whom you could have also mentioned, was a warrior and led Israel on a series of campaigns to conquer the promised land, but he didn't then go on to write the entire bible and demand that the Israelites should conquer the entire world in the name of God.

These crazy bastards need to be brought to bay before they hurt themselves... I believe that CRUSADE is the only way to deal with them... If they want to stay rooted in the 13th century... Please, lets allow them to do so... Just stop soiling the countries in which they have elected to perch like the vultures they are. They seem to forget that they have chosen to live and work in Christian countries with a tradition of freedoms... Whats wrong with home?
