It's a cultural thing and we have to learn to celebrate diversity.
They'd probably never've mentioned it if the wackdoodle'd been driving a Yugo. They're hatred of SUVs, which most of them probably own/drive, overcame their desire to shill for Islamists.
I saw something about this on tv this morning, but in the piece I saw, he was mentioned ONLY as a student. Nothing was said about him being Iranian or a muslim.
A reminder about Fox -
"Saudi Prince al-Waleed bin Talal boasted in Dubai earlier this week about his ability to change the news content that viewers around the world see on television.
In early September 2005, Bin Talal bought 5.46% of voting shares in News Corp. This made the Fifth richest man on the Forbes World's Richest People, the fourth largest voting shareholder in News Corp., the parent of Fox News. News Corp. is the world's leading newspaper publisher in English. It operates more than 175 newspapers, in the UK, Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the US, and distributes more than 40 million papers per week. In addition, News Corp. owns and operates an international collection of TV outlets, radio stations, magazines, book publishers and film studios.
After bin Talal purchased his voting shares in News Corp., on September 23, 2005, he stated in an advertising supplement to the New York Times, “When I invest in a group like CITICROUP, the Four Seasons, the News Corp. or Time Warner, my objective is not to manage those companies.” But this is not quite accurate, considering the Prince’s December 5, 2005 statement given to Middle East Online regarding his ability to change what viewers see on Fox News. Covering the riots in Paris last November, Fox ran a banner saying: "Muslim riots." Bin Talal was not happy. "I picked up the phone and called Murdoch... (and told him) these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty," he said. "Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots to civil riots."
"SUV Plows Through Crowd"
There are dozens of headlines like that posted on FR. Those SUV's do wicked things.
Another reason to hand over our ports... (sarcasm)
True there was a minor incident yesterday of a few persons being struck with a car on campus but these little incidents happen everyday.
Hysterics and fear-mongers are trying to make some kind of terrorist thing out of just because Mohammed picked his way through some small service driveways to the central campus spots where students gather outside the student union and he rented an SUV for this trip and witnesses said he was swerving in an attempt to hit students as he drove through a sunken pit where they gather and the AP has him saying that his act was to avenge the ill treatment of Muslims.
Only six people went to the hospital and they weren't seriously hurt. Just because the excited police are charging him with nine counts of attempted murder is no reason to believe that this was anything but a minor campus incident. Hey, Muslims are losing it and trying to kill people all the time.
Now let's move along here.
Let's play the "what-if" game. What if the driver had been white, had made statements with analogous animus toward blacks, and had driven through the center of an historically black college? Would the headlines have read "SUV Plows through Crowd"? /end rhetorical question
Thanks for the ping. Thanks for the pic.
Here's a partial transcript from the Today show appearance of the injured student. His first name is Jeff - didn't catch his last name:
"I personally think it was definitely, definitely intentional, for sure."
"I look up and i see a car coming through in the middle of campus, which is pretty odd to begin with. I keep walking. He's going really slow. It doesn't seem like he has any malicious intent. All of a sudden I just hear the car's engine rev. I look up and the car is right there coming right at me, about five feet from me. I ended up on the hood and luckily rolled off without serious injuries."
If the guy hates America so much, what's he doing attending a university in America and living the lifestyle of an American?
We'll probably learn that he got a free ride all through college for no other reason than that he was Iranian.
Profiling is our friend.
Politically correct
will cause our end.
Diversity is a lethal blend.
"One notable exception is a column in the conservative Human Events flatly entitled "Religious Terrorism Strikes Chapel Hill". The piece was written by Jillian Bandes, a former columnist for the UNC school newspaper, the Daily Tar Heel. Bandes had been dismissed from her position as columnist "after writing in support of racial profiling of Arabs in airports around the anniversary of 9/11."
Another attack on civil rights but again, not by the Patrio Act.
