Not necessarily! So relax! “Reception of Afghans in France: the Taliban do not necessarily constitute a terrorist threat,” translated from “Accueil d’Afghans en France : les talibans ne constituent pas forcément une menace terroriste,” by Jacques Follorou, Le Monde, August 25, 2021 (thanks to Will): France’s reception of Afghans fleeing the Taliban regime which came […]
University of Michigan Professor: Taliban Doesn’t Equal Islam, News Coverage ‘Disserves a Great Religion’
My latest in PJ Media: Well, this was inevitable: As the Taliban have taken power in Afghanistan and declared their intention to impose Islamic law, the American establishment media has swung into action, ready as always to exonerate Islam of all responsibility for the crimes done in its name and in accord with its […]
University of Michigan Islamic law prof: Taliban doesn’t equal Islam, news coverage ‘disserves a great religion’
“Hamid Khan is an adjunct professor of Islamic law at the University of Michigan Law, a national security fellow with the Truman National Security Project and an attorney with the U.S. government.” Here he says “Islam is not a monolith,” and yet doesn’t produce even a single example of the Taliban violating any tenet of […]
Robert Spencer Video: Why the Media Ignores Islamic Jihad Violence Against Christians and Hindus
With Barry Nussbaum of the American Truth Project.
CNN on the Taliban: “They’re chanting ‘Death to America,’ but they seem friendly at the same time”
https://twitter.com/sophiabfisher/status/1427277156913139716 Sure they’re friendly. She’s wearing hijab. She has submitted. That’s all they want, is submission, and numerous Westerners are ready to give it to them.
Afghanistan: Taliban threatens journalists, ‘stop working in Taliban-controlled areas’
The Taliban’s hostility to journalists is short-sighted. In the West, establishment media “journalists” are among their best friends, always minimizing their motivating ideology and putting the best possible spin on what they do. “Journalists get threats in Afghanistan, ‘stop working in Taliban-controlled areas,’” by Nikesh Mandal, News Track Live, August 10, 2021: Journalists in Afghanistan […]
Media Insists Taliban Seizure of Province Capital of 160,000 is ‘Symbolic’
Media bias used to be between the lines, then it became the lines, and finally it became the headlines. When the media feels the need to embed spin in its headlines, that’s pretty bad. Americans, like Chinese, Cubans, and Russians, have long since grown used to media spin for disasters that is blatantly coordinated across […]
Washington Post’s Dana Milbank blames Trump for Tlaib’s Jew-hatred
The claim that Trump, the most pro-Israel president since the founding of the modern state of Israel and the one of the only presidents, maybe the only one, to have Jewish grandchildren was antisemitic was a base Leftist calumny that had no foundation in fact. Now, true to Leftist practice, Milbank is building a second […]
New York Times Calls Osama bin Laden a ‘Devoted Family Man’
My latest in PJ Media: It’s no surprise, really, considering the fact that, as the perspicacious Stephen Kruiser noted Thursday, the New York Times is no longer a news source, but “one big hyperventilating leftist Opinion section.” Still, to see the Times refer to Osama bin Laden as a “devoted family man” was startling, and even the Times’ editorial politburo seemed to […]
New York Times hails Osama bin Laden as a ‘devoted family man’
Imagine what the New York Times’ coverage will be like when some prominent foe of jihad violence and Sharia oppression dies. “Far-right”…”Stoked anger”…”Courted controversy”…even “Incited violence.” There will be nary a sympathetic word. But for Osama bin Laden, sure. After all, his world view and that of the New York Times are simpatico, at least […]
