Here’s two sentences that are fun to put side by side:
1)Avoid using word combinations such as “Islamic terrorist” or “Muslim extremist” that are misleading because they link whole religions to criminal activity.
2)When writing about terrorism, remember to include white supremacist, radical anti-abortionists and other groups with a history of such activity.
So remember kids, it’s ok to tag all whites as supremacists and anti-abortionists as radicals.
Jackasses.
Wouldn’t it be better to advise journalists to:
Tell the truth.
If you are ignorant about Islam, read up on it.
If you are ignorant of the various Muslim countries, read up on them.
Don’t take anyone’s word for it, either for or against. Do your homework. Read the Koran. Read the basic writings. Read a few histories of Islam. And read a few histories of the Crusades.
Facts, facts, facts. Sure, you should listen to what Muslims have to say for themselves, but do enough studying to know if they are telling the truth or lying.
Did Mohammed advocate rape, pillage, conquest, murder, oathbreaking, wife abuse? What do the sources reveal about these matters? What does it reveal about people who can accept these sorts of activities as the highest model of human behavior?
But I forgot. These folks were trained in journalism schools. Stuff like truth and facts and reading up on the background are completely foreign to them.
Oh...yer gonna just love this.
Second it!
— When writing about terrorism, remember to include white supremacist, radical anti-abortionists and other groups with a history of such activity.
With that, you will hear the crickets chirping.
....Going, going, GONE!!!!
....SOLD!!!!
Wouldn’t it be better to not call them “journalists”?
But propagandists?
Yes, you can say that....but, probably not for long....
Now we know where Sen. Allen (R-Va) got the word “maccaca”. It was really a reference to Mecca, or as the PC assholes spell it, “Makkah”.
Allen just stuttered on pronouncing it properly and came out with “maccaca”
A song title of “Makkak” just wouldn’t sound good as Gene Pitney’s “Mecca”. Capish?
Its also interesting how Arab imperialism is affirmed as an explicit textual reality. Non arab minorities who are being and have been erased are textually diminished by the constant preference for Arab descriptors in the style manual.
