Soros-Funded Group Behind Course for Journalists That Downplays ‘Jihad'
Newsbusters ^ | September 29, 2011 | Iris Somberg

Posted on 09/29/2011 10:44:46 AM PDT by opentalk

A new course on Islam designed for journalists tries to minimize the impact and importance of “jihad” by comparing it to the number of murders in America each year. That same course claims “right-wing activists” tried to tie American Muslims to terrorism and doesn’t mention examples of Islamic attacks on press freedom.

That’s the way a prominent news organization is teaching journalists in a three-hour online course. The Poynter News University, part of the Poynter Institute, launched the free course “Covering Islam in America” to guide the media on their coverage of Muslim communities.

... In about 30 pages of text with links to other reports and articles, journalists can go through and read about the history of Islam, Muslims in America, and how to cover stories on Islam. Besides learning basic facts about Muslims and their history, the course adds ways to put “jihad” into perspective, attack conservatives, and provide a list of liberal groups that can be contacted for expert advice and quotes.

So the course title should be amended, “Covering FOR Islam in America.” So not surprising that Soros is involved.

Soros and other influences must be working, MSM would not use the word Muslim in the recent terrorist plot by a Muslim man. Including FOX.

Soros gets the same warm and cuddly feeling for Muslims he had for NAZIs when he and his Dad were in the Judenrat.

Makes it clear that journalists and schools of journalism can be bought by the highest bidder; then again, this is hardly new.

Oh by the way there journalists, never mind that it was a muslim that sawed the head off of one your fellow travellers. Oh and pay no mind to the muslim in the white house that is actively working to eliminate the consitution. And all you white journalists, never mind the youts that will be kicking your ass when the riots start. Yep, while you are out documenting the obama yutes who are just out getting reparations on whitey, guess what. They won’t discriminate. If there was ever a better display of usefull idiots, I cannot say when.

“Attack conservatives”...Of course we know who the REAL enemy is—conservatives.

Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Public relations for the Muslim world has got to be the top challenge of the public relations profession. It is up there with convincing people that the moon is made out of green cheese.

Unfortunately, both of the above. It’s not just him, though - he has friends. He just likes the lime light and power more.

I just received a book in the mail that was featured on Michael Savage. It is called “Wizards of Wall Street” by Zubi Diamond. This books describes how the Wall Street debacle was set up by Soros and his cronies. I can’t wait to begin reading it.

Soros said that he wanted to take down the United States from its top position. Jail is too good for him, he deserves a dungeon.

If that psychotic egomaniac can bring down Britain on Black Friday and ruin small countries, he surely can manipulate Wall Street and the stock market. He is a man with a mission to rule the world and thinks he can do a grand job of it. Oh, I'm sure of it, why look at what he did for the Jews in Nazi Germany - grrrrrr.
