How long will the MSM play along?
What will happen in the next Islamist riots or terror attack?
Let’s see, last July was London — a real terrorist attack, fomented by the rhetoric and measage of the likes of Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, and heralded by a web announcement Rejoice Community of Muslims. The Times immediately reported about fears of a backlash against Muslims, and respectable British folk retailed nonsense like: “Just as the IRA has nothing to do with Christianity, so this kind of terror has nothing to do with any of the world faiths.”
Three months later some youths got electrocuted in Paris and 10,000 cars were burned in riots in over 300 French cities. One of the causes of the month of rioting was the tear-gassing of a mosque that words by Nicolas Sarkozy lead us to conclude was engaged in subversive activity. Yet the MSM refused to cover the riots in depth or show pictures of the offending Muslim “youths” in order not to empower the right wing in France.
Three months later we have our current highly orchestrated and violent Muslim riots, this time ostensibly over cartoons, with the flames fanned all over the Islamic world by fiery sermons by Imams and a falsified and sexed-up dossier by Danish clerics out to cause trouble. In some ways this is the worst incident yet, with Muslim rioters and demonstrators openly calling for the gruesome murders of any Westerners who dare poke fun at or mock their religion. And the MSM for the most part have taken a pass on showing the cartoons, even completely innocuous ones.
Here’s our question: how long with the MSM continue to play along with the other side?

The world-wide, secular left wing (that refuses to learn from the 20th century failures of socialism, communism and fascism) have now trapped themselves into a reductio ad absurdist corner. There, they are fodder for their fascistic offspring murdering religion in the name of it, and no amount of bone-throwing from the welfare Nannies will save them from their cast-off responsibilities to Human freedom. Liberty has always been the only antidote to tyranny.
