"This isn't Islam!" he said.

Incredible.

Let's feed it here and kill it over there.

Was it Andy McCarty, yesterday, who hinted, to be "Moderate Islam" was to be the 'radical?'

People who don't study history in any depth, for example, are likely to overlook the history of fascism, just in Germany, where there was more than just the Nazis and Adolf Hitler, indeed, more than just Hitler vying for Top Dog among the Nazis, at various times.

Imagine, however, singling out Hitler and his bully-boys as deranged and in need of excising, and further, claiming the "Nazis weren't fascists," or that "fascists weren't German?"

This is what happens when, after establishing political correctness as an ideology, a ruling class beset by this false misrepresentation of reality, try to apply strategy.

It doesn't work.

Among the highest and time-tested rule of warfare is the principle of adopting strategy to fit the battlefield, and adopting it quickly when conditions inevitably change in the course of battle.

A political party's platform or the "Best Practices" adopted by a committee of sociologists in a Quality Circle are unlikely to be of much use on a battlefield.

It is truly extraordinary that we live in a country built on having a free press and an informed populace, and have allowed that same press to completely dumb down our citizens.

Does the media even know what they are doing and the effect that are having on our culture?

I think they don’t have clue. I think they are so caught up in Multiculturalism, Moral Relativism and Political Correctness and are on auto-pilot when deciding what and how to report the news.

It’s insanity.

The MSM has the same or more information available to them as we have here on this forum, yet they can’t bring themselves to present the truth because it might offend someone?. The effect, whether they realize it or not, is to marginalize the truth and that creates indifference or uncertainty at best.

I must repeat, I DON’T think the MSM is intentionally misleading people when it comes to this issue of ISIS and Islam. It would make absolutely no sense if they were. It would make them co-conspirators in the spread of a “Death Cult”. A cult of religion that abuses women and homosexuals etc, and they can’t be for that?. They can’t be that malicious.

It seems to me that the media is becoming trapped by its own obsession for political correctness. It’s like a snake that is eating its own tail.

The question becomes, “When will they realize this?”
