NY Times in Denial: "Unclear What Role, If Any, Religion Played" in Fort Dix Six Terror Plot"
www.timeswatch.org ^ | 05/14/07 | Times Watch

Posted on 05/14/2007 2:28:49 PM PDT by TimesWatch

New York Times reporter Alan Feuer, seen last May giving respectable coverage to a convention of "Bush-caused-9-11" conspiracy nuts, went to enormous (and erroneous) pains Monday to soft-pedal the Muslim beliefs of the Fort Dix terrorist plotters in "Two Mosques Are Shaken by Ties to a Terror Plot."

"It is unclear what role, if any, religion played in the attack Mr. Shnewer and the five other men are charged with planning. (The sixth suspect, Agron Abdullahu, had no apparent connection with Al-Aqsa or the South Jersey Islamic Center.) The authorities have described the suspects as Islamic extremists, but the lengthy criminal complaint summarizing the F.B.I.'s 15-month undercover investigation of the group does not mention where -- or how often -- they prayed. Certainly there is no evidence that they picked up radical ideas at either mosque." Of course not.

In contrast to the Times' uninformative, politically correct take, the New York Post had a complete story with details on the suspects' radical Islamic beliefs.

"When the teen and another employee went into a back room and began the conversion of the tape, they saw a group of bearded men wearing 'fundamentalist attire' and shooting 'big, f-ing guns,' the teen later told co-workers.

"Throughout the 90-minute-long tape, above the booming gunfire at a Pennsylvania target range, the jihadists could be heard screaming 'God is great!'"

Perhaps it was not clear to the New York Times.

For most of the rest of us, the linkage was pretty obvious.

Bearded men with burning eyes are not rational.

When did the people at NYT grow beards? Because their eyes are burning more and more.

How much do you want to bet they used the word "Allah" and not "God" ?

If it was white militia, this Marxist bigot would find Christian connections from Dobson to the pope and probably Cotton Mathers, too.

The employees at NYT must have some kin at Ft. Dix they want to see killed off? No? If not why not?

It is unclear what role, if any, the New York Times plays in honest and competent journalism. There, I revised the Times article into the lede of an article that can and should appear. Alas, the entire staff of the Times lacks the self-perception to write that article.

Now imagine the NYTimes were talking about a group protesting against abortion, a group of Christians, for example. Nuf said.

Is the brain trust at NYT so dumb as to think WE are that dumb?

Look guys, if you didn’t bring enough for the whole class, *you* shouldn’t be smoking it, either...

"Jones didn't add the quote Tatar gave the Newark Star-Ledger about the terror charges against his son, which may have made Tatar appear less sympathetic: "It's persecution, religious persecution. Nothing more.''"

Yes, religious persecution against the Ft. Dix personnel who aren't muslim.

What? Oh, he meant persecution against the koran following muslims? Sorry, my mistake.

I'm just hoping that the Times, its employees and owner/family are fragged out when the next one hits New York.

Crying like a bunch of little b#tches and wondering why? oh why? and what made the bad men kill the nice NYT folks.

After all they were on their side... just ask Danny Pearl how it feels to be a journalist trying to relate to the jihadist.

Must have felt kinda like a dork with men sitting on his back, yanking his head back and sawing his head off.

They don't get it because when the NWO or the jihadist take over they plan on being the Vichy government in America. Running the show while the rest of the serfs have to put up with the rules, regulations, taxes, and the rest of the bullsh#t they put on us.

I hope they remember what happened to the collaborators when the sh#t hit the fan.

I was discussing this case with a Muslim acquaintance of mine. He didn’t have any doubts about the religion of these terrorists, or the fact that their religious beliefs were their motivation. No, he didn’t think they were Amish.

Yes. There is no terrorist threat and George Bush and Karl Rove are just trying to scare you.
