My latest in PJ Media: Suicidal self-hatred continues to sweep the West. Mariane Pearl, the widow of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic jihadis in Pakistan in 2002, has suffered a great deal, and it is perhaps churlish and uncharitable to venture any critical word at all. But it […]
Daniel Pearl’s widow in Washington Post highlights message she received about his murder: ‘This is not Islam’
Mariane Pearl has suffered a great deal and it is perhaps churlish and uncharitable to venture any critical word at all. But it isn’t she I am criticizing. It is the general tendency, the felt need or the unspoken imperative, to take all possible opportunities to exonerate Islam of all connection to crimes done in […]
Reuters flacks for endless wars: ‘In Saddam strongholds that fought America, Iraqis fear a U.S. departure’
With stories such as this, one must always ask, Cui bono? Who benefits? By now it should be abundantly clear to everyone that Reuters and its colleagues are not news outlets. They are organs for the propaganda of the political and media elites who want to keep America in Iraq, expending blood and treasure both […]
Reuters deceives the public about Turkey’s assaults on churches
Reuters published a report authored by three Turks of some work to preserve Orthodox icons in the churches of Istanbul, in an effort to falsely show that Turkey is eager to restore Christian churches. This is part of a well-orchestrated campaign to distort public opinion and turn the truth on its head. “Greek restorer tends […]
The Media’s Oh-So-Devout Catholic Joe Biden Has Run Into a Little Trouble With the Bishops…
My latest in PJ Media: The establishment media has been pulling out all the stops, as Stephen Kruiser noted Monday, to convince us that Joe Biden is the most serene Catholic monarch since King St. Louis IX. Huffington Post writer Beth Stoneburner even wondered if “Christians will ever allow themselves to admit that a Democratic president is […]
Foreign Policy calls for adopting definition of ‘Islamophobia’ as ‘rooted in racism’
“Islamophobia” is a propaganda term that is used for two unrelated phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others. The goal of this conflation is to inhibit such analysis and intimidate people into thinking it’s wrong […]
Woman’s Day encourages non-Muslims to observe Ramadan
The daily barrage of propaganda is relentless. When has Women’s Day ever encouraged non-Christians to fast for Lent? Non-Jews to fast for Yom Kippur? Right. “Here’s What You Should Know About Ramadan and How it is Celebrated,” by Jamie Ballard, Woman’s Day, January 29, 2021: Each year, Muslims around the world celebrate the holy month […]
New York Times Details Horrors of Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban,’ Ignores Victims of Jihad Attacks
My latest in PJ Media: The New York Times story opens with a scene of unmitigated horror: “On May 30, 2019, Mohamed Abdulrahman Ahmed should have been in class preparing for exams. Instead, neighbors found the gifted high school senior hanging lifeless from a beam in his home in the Dadaab refugee camp in northeastern Kenya. […]
Germany: Muslim migrant brutally murders 19-year-old girl, media and politicians conceal perpetrator’s background
The political and media elites are unshakably committed to mass Muslim migration into Germany and Europe at large. Thus incidents that might make people skeptical of the wisdom of the enterprise must be ruthlessly suppressed. “Lüneburg: 19-year-old brutally murdered by ‘refugee,’” translated from “Lüneburg: 19-Jährige bestialisch von „Flüchtling“ ermordet,” by Manfred W. Black, PI News, […]
New York Times: “The ‘Muslim Ban’ Is Over. The Harm Lives On.”
The New York Times here gives us the predictable sob story about how hard the residents of Dadaab have had it since they have been unable to come to America. One is moved to tears, but rationally, there are people who are having hard times all over the world. In fact, there are even people […]
