Besides having to fight Muslims in the information war, we are also battling the intentional ignorance of the mainstream media (MSM). I say "intentional ignorance" because it is obvious that many who report for the MSM have done little, if any, research on Islam. Let's take a look at an outrageous example of this irresponsible reporting!
Islam is all-American for one U.S. Muslim leader (Reuters) - - Al Azhar, the centuries-old center of Islamic learning in Cairo, is a world away from Oklahoma City where William Suhaib Webb grew up.
But it was not until the American Muslim leader immersed himself in Islamic studies at Al Azhar that he realized just how American he was, regardless of his religion

These idiotic mediameisters are so agog with outrage when a Baptist preacher or Catholic priest makes some public statement advocating stricter public morality, but have nothing to say when Moose push for tyrannical laws and practices that make the most strait-laced Christians look downright loose.
This has GOT to come back to bite them, sooner or later. I don’t see how it can’t.
They are afraid of muslim retaliation for any slight but know they can offend Christians and Jews as much as they want to.
Imagine the reaction if a conservative advocated for what muzzies advocate !
What a bunch of lily livered cowards. They’ll wish otherwise when it truly becomes sharia and sharia alike.
The intentional ignorance or the GUILTY IGNORANCE....
The problem is that they are spreading their ignorance
Until the socialist-liberal-progressive rot is purged from our universities this trend will not only persist but will accelerate.
They think they are “Citizens of the World” not Americans.
I wonder whatever happened to that serial pimp Logan.
He was funny.
The best you can say about any of them is that they are ignorant.
Right universities and medias must be “purged” or at least a free and true debate should be possible.
It means that Republicans , or true sensible conservatives, must face the problem and try to bring solutions
It is frightening that Liberals have gone from bashing Christians while getting at Conservatives to bashing Christians … just to bash Christians.
There is an enormous emotional and practical difference there, and one which has gone unchallenged.
In the American political system, it is expected and natural to bash your opponent. It’s how we hash things out.
However, as Conservatives are largely practicing Christians, Liberals have with impunity blurred the line on the legitimacy of bashing political opponents and bashing a citizen’s (any citizen’s) right to his faith … or to hold NO FAITH AT ALL if he/she chooses.
Many Liberals claim to be atheist.
Though there are a lot of objective (albeit, ugly) statements which can legitimately be made about the emotional and psychological squalor or atheism, Conservatives refrain. As they respect a citizen’s right to BE an atheist, THAT kind of bashing is never part of the Conservative challenge to Liberalism.
• Why can’t Liberals show the same respect for Conservatives of faith?
• How constitutionally legitimate is it for a political party, ANY party, to openly challenge ANY citizen for his/her faith… OR atheism, if that is what they chose?
• Can you say hate speech?
• If this is (and it IS) unconstitutional, why haven’t Conservatives challenged the practice… there IS legal recourse??
• When will this pogrom (sp?), because THAT’S what it is, against Christians in America cease?
we know that more then many have gamed the system in welfare..government jobs ...contracts... and you name it ..
I would suggest that the main stream media, and most news outlets have gamed the communications systems other then the internet .
Islam is no threat to socialism, there is little tendency for individual thought and action in it's followers. Islam is highly exploitable by socialists, control a few and you control all. Islam is not viewed as threatening to global socialism in the long term, Christianity is.

FEMA Training to Stop People Like YOU!

In the past few weeks, Aaron Dorr of Iowa Gun Owners became aware of the fact that the Emergency Management Agency was planning to hold a terrorism response drill at a local school in Iowa.
In this scenario, two “terrorists” went into this school and shot or killed close to two dozen people according to the planning documents.
While I empathize with the job of Iowa’s peace officers and am happy they are training to protect the their bosses (taxpayers), there was a major problem with this scenario:
The shooter could have been you or me.
That’s right; the description given of the shooter was of a white male who came from a family of firearms enthusiasts, and who was concerned about illegal immigration!
In a blatant attempt to demonize law-abiding citizens who own and use firearms for self-defense, the organizers of this event described what is likely the majority of the members of the National Association for Gun Rights.
Iowa Gun Owners asked its members to contact the County Supervisors via email or phone and voice their concerns.
The result: the event was cancelled due to a huge public outcry!
Now, of course the Emergency Management Agency coordinator says that county officials were receiving threats and that’s why they cancelled the event. Worse still, the coordinator, Jeff Theulen, said that the true patriots are those government bureaucrats who received all the pressure that you applied.
Some people never learn.
Mr. Theulen’s office puts forth a scenario where a person who supports and believes in the Constitutionally protected rights of the Second Amendment is portrayed as a mass-murdering terrorist in what appears to be an attempt to further undermine our freedoms and yet Theulen thinks that he and his colleagues are the real patriots! Incredible.
Unfortunately, people like Mr. Theulen are just tools of a higher authority.
So, while the great people of Iowa are taking him to task, I need you to address this problem at a higher authority. He takes his marching orders from the Department of Homeland Security, and that’s where my concern lies. This is a lot bigger than just Iowa.
I need you to contact your Congressman and Senators and tell them that the Department of Homeland Security’s characterization of gun owners who are concerned about ILLEGAL immigration into our country as potential terrorists is as laughable as it is outrageous. Tell them that law-abiding gun owners encourage the training of the first responders in the county, but under different circumstances.
That’s where a good legislator is so important.
Iowa has such a man in State Representative Tom Shaw. Shaw, a freshman legislator from North Central Iowa, was made aware of this situation by representatives of Iowa Gun Owners and was very troubled. You see, Rep. Shaw, until he won his election last November, was a police chief in Iowa.
While obviously not hostile to peace officers, Rep. Shaw was as concerned as we were about the ramifications of this scenario in South West Iowa.
At the request of Iowa Gun Owners, Rep. Shaw went on WHO radio in Des Moines two different times as a member of Iowa Gun Owners, a gun owner, and a state legislator to sound the alarm.
This is how the system is supposed to work. You elect good people and they prevent your freedom from being stripped away by doing their job.
If they don’t, you hold them accountable.
Gun owners are a proud bunch. But without holding these agencies accountable, our rights will erode faster than we can fathom.
I don’t want that, and I know you don’t either.
So call your Congressman and your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them you are tired of being labeled as a “criminal” by the Department of Homeland Security and its lower level agencies.
And then hold them accountable if they don’t stand up for your rights.
It is, after all, why they are there.
