NY Times Pulls Kristof's Piece with Obama's Muslim Call to Prayer
Atlas Shrugs ^ | 09/08/08 | Atlas Shrugs

Posted on 09/08/2008 9:11:36 AM PDT by markedmannerf

Remember when Nicolas Kristof said of Obama here: " Mr. Obama has spoken respectfully of Islam (he told me last year, on the record, that the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on earth at sunset”). Apparently it has been scrubbed from the New York Times web site. Check that out. On the day Obama's freudian slip, "my Muslim faith" - that classic Obama quote disappears.

What are they afraid of?

“What are they afraid of?”

That their plot to coronate B. Hussein has been discovered (it has) and that they will lose all credibility as a news organization (which actually happened a LONG time ago).

Other than that? I don’t know. But they SHOULD be concerned about their ever-declining circulation numbers.

There was another NYT piece in which the columnist quoted Obama as saying something about if anything like 911 happens again, he’ll “stand with the Muslims.”

But isn’t this an altered version? I seem to remember this article stating that Obama himself repeated the call with a perfect accent.

‘Atlas’ isn’t the most reliable source

That was a paraphrased interpretation that isn’t accurate. It mentioned if muslims in America were unduly harassed he would stand with them.

Meanwhile jihadists have been waging physical attacks on Jews in the US and they are all treated as the actions of “lone nuts”.

Political correctness is going to doom us all.

They may be able to scrub their website but, they can not scrub the number of books, "The Obama Nation", by Dr. Jerome R, Corsi, PH.D, that has graced the top site of their best seller list....

From the book;

The correct article is Obama: Man of the World, by Nicholas Kristof and published on March 6th, 2007. Your link goes to Obama and the Bigots of March 9th, 2007, not to the story Obama: Man of the World.

If you look at the very bottom of the picture in the article posted here at Free Republic, you can also see the actual article title. I can see where there can be some confusion, since the blogger doesn't actually show the correct link anywhere that I see in the article or in her older article on the subject (instead, confusingly, the blogger talks about the later March 9th story rather than the original March 6th story.)

Over the last several months, I have used the link http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html to link Obama: Man of the World in several postings about Senator Obama's public recitation of the shahada to the New York Times.

In fact, I just used it yesterday in this posting #982, and noted at that time that it was broken. (I have to admit that I suspect that the blogger picked up the fact that the link was broken from me, but the blogger doesn't make such an attribution so perhaps it was noticed independently.)

However, it does seem to continue to be broken, just as the blogger reports.

Thanks, I knew it wasn’t quite accurate, thus the “something like.”

I wonder what he considers “unduly.” Being asked to take off their face masks for drivers’ license photos?
