NBC News: Muslim Americans Again Brace for Backlash After New York Attack
Again we see it: for the establishment media, Muslims are always the primary victims of Islamic jihad massacres. Imagine the hysterics and histrionics had Muslims actually been the victims.

Robert Spencer video: Why are police ignoring evidence that mosque is preaching jihad?
In this new video, I explain what happened when an investigator found that a New Hampshire mosque was preaching jihad: instead of investigating, police cried “Islamophobia.” Of course, the Manchester, New Hampshire police themselves don’t want to appear “Islamophobic,” and put that imperative above any responsibility they may have to protect their citizens.
