The Mainstream Media Helps the Global Jihad

Needed more than ever after 9/11 is probing, intelligent, honest reporting about Muslims and Islam. But this hasn't materialized. With few exceptions, the mainstream media continues to publish misleading, incomplete, distorted material that leaves Americans ignorant of the true nature and dimensions of the terrorist threat.

The New York Times, in an unconscionable breach of journalistic ethics, revealed the real name of Bat Ye'or in a recent article and labeled her one "of the most extreme voices on the new Jewish right." This is not only arrant nonsense, since Bat Ye'or is in no sense a figure of "the right," but also Times-speak for "pay no attention to this person." She "argues in her latest book, Eurabia: the Euro-Arab Axis, that Europe has consciously allied itself with the Arab world at the expense of Jews and the trans-Atlantic alliance." But she is of "the right," so the Times feels no need to examine the evidence for this that she marshals in Eurabia.

The Asia Times reported this week on a jihadist cell in France that with connections "throughout Western Europe in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom." Could this be a function of Europe's longstanding policy of allying itself with the Arab world? No, you can't say that — that would be "right wing."

Like a garbage scow pulling in its wake the trash in the water, the New York Times carries along lesser papers:

Thanks for this post. Great, probing article. . . and exactly when are Americans going to do something about these deceitful, jihad-preaching, anti-American mosques, imams, islamic schools here on our soil, who are playing the libs and the MSM like violins?!

Unholy Alliance
by David Horowitz
Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 089526076X
Hardcover - 256 pages (September 2004)

In this tour de force on the most important issue of our time, David Horowitz, confronts the paradox of how so many Americans, including the leadership of the Democratic Party, could turn against the War on Terror. He finds an answer in a political Left that shares a view of America as the “Great Satan” with America’s radical Islamic enemies. This Left, which once made common cause with Communists, has now joined forces with radical Islam in attacking America’s defenses at home and its policies abroad. From their positions of influence in the university and media culture, leftists have defined America as the “root cause” of the attacks against it. In a remarkable exploration of the “Mind of the Left,” Horowitz traces the evolution of American radicalism from its Communist past to its “anti-war” present. He then shows how this Left was able to turn the Democratic Party presidential campaign around and reshape its views on the War on Terror.

Horowitz’s Unholy Alliance, writes John Haynes, the noted historian of American Communism, “is an insightful, brilliant examination of the mental world of the radical left. Horowitz shows how today’s radicals, unwilling to reflect on the internal flaws that destroyed Marxism-Leninism from within, have embraced an all-consuming nihilism in its place. This has led them to a hatred of American institutions and a solidarity with Islamic terrorists that makes the radical left more properly regarded as dangerous than loony.”

Unholy Alliance is an eye-opening book that should unsettle conventional assumptions and reveals why intellectuals and political leaders who applaud Michael Moore are no laughing matter. As Harvey Klehr, author of Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America, writes, “The world Communist movement may be moribund, but its habits of mind and ideological fantasies have not disappeared. This is a fascinating and depressing account.”
