How the Western Intelligentsia Denies Islam's History of War and Crime
2015-03-07
[PJ Media] The Western intelligentsia is very, very anxious to make sure that you have a positive view of Islam. Thus we see a steady stream of articles in the mainstream media assuring you that the Qur'an is benign, the U.S. Constitution is Sharia-compliant, and the Islamic State is not Islamic. These articles come in a steady stream, and they have to, because they are asking non-Muslims to disregard what they see every day -- Muslims committing violence against non-Muslims and justifying it by referring to Islamic texts -- and instead embrace a fictional construct: Islam the religion of peace and tolerance.

This takes a relentless barrage of propaganda, because with every new jihad atrocity, reality threatens to break through. It wasn't accidental that Hitler's Reich had an entire Ministry of Propaganda: lying to the public is a full-time job, as the cleverest of propaganda constructs is always threatened by the simple facts. This propaganda comes not just from the Left (the Huffington Post, Salon, etc.), but also from the Right, or at least the Right-leaning media (Forbes); it seems as if whatever divides Americans politically, they're all united on one point: Islam is just great, and only bigoted, racist "Islamophobes" think otherwise.

Yet the pains that must be taken to establish this betray the futility of the enterprise. A sampling: establishment academic Juan Cole, a board member of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), which has been established in court as a front group lobbying for the Islamic regime in Iran, pointed out last Tuesday in The Nation that Rudy Giuliani and Paul Wolfowitz had taken issue with Barack Obama over whether Islamic terrorism was really Islamic, and asserted that this question was "actually about what philosophers call 'essentialism,' and, as Giuliani's and Wolfowitz's own interventions make clear, it is about absolving the United States for its own role in producing the violent so-called 'Caliphate' of Ibrahim al-Baghdadi."

Just a brief recap of the facts:

is that if Rachel Maddow and Anjam Choderboy were placed opposite a table for two hours, Choder would win.

They've already succeeded, they've gotten to POTUS, the MSM and about half of our law-makers. Pelosi was moved to tears during Bibi's speech.

See the list of atrocities in this article that shows how really nice Islam is (sarc). I din't see Pam Am 103 or the kidnapping and murder of USMC Col. William Higgins. There are many more that should be on the list.

#2  From P2k's link at #1:

"Extermination must be put on a scientific basis if it is ever to be carried out humanely and apologetically as well as thoroughly… If we desire a certain type of civilisation and culture we must exterminate the sort of people who do not fit into it."

"Extermination" ........is unnecessary if the proles can be convinced of the merits of abortion, relocation, mass-immigration, gender reassignment, elimination of the family, man-goat-dog love, etc.
