You are correct. The far left mediots never fail to align themselves with the trendy notions of the "intelligencia." Today it is the US war in Iraq. Yesterday it was Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Stalin and Mao. Rest assured, tomorrow it will be some cause abherent to most Americans, like pro gay marriage or anti home-schooling. Shoot, they've already taken up those causes too.
Be further assured that you will never see the Nightline episode where the "innocent" murderer's victim's family is portrayed. We shall never see the family photo album of the victim's childrens' births, their happy anniversary celebrations, or marriages. We will never see the grieving faces of the victim's minor children as their despair is evident on their twisted, mourning faces. Those photos are reserved for the "innocent" murderer's family and the contorted mess the mediots try to spin in those episodes. You've noticed, of course, that the viedos from September 11th have all disappeared.
Ted's newest forray into "honoring" those who have fallen raises an important new question... When will Nightline be airing the updated episode? After all, how could Ted Koppel's honesty remain unquestioned if he fails to honor those in the future who make the same sacrifice of their lives? When is the next sweeps period anyway?
How 'bout a list of all the people, the tens of millions, killed by muslims in the name of a "peace loving Islam" instead.
ABC can just shut down for a few years and scroll the names, faces, and other pics of innocent men, women, and children simply trying to mind their own business, work, school, and daily life who were butchered, burned to death, beheaded violently, and a whole host of other nice things that Islam brings about.
Where's THAT broadcast Ted!!! Huh??!!
and now, ...brought to you by Islam and the Quran:
[2.193] And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah
[4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.
[4.95] The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who strive hard in Allah's way with their property and their persons are not equal
[4.144] O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers; do you desire that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?
[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
[8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.
[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[9.11] But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith
So much for religious freedom, eh!!
[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!
[9.33] He it is Who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse.
[9.123] O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).
Interesting how if allowed to permeate our nation these very own tenets from the Quran would destroy this country and turn it into a hell hole! Literally, a "hell hole!"
Every single one of those is straight from the first ten chapters of the Quran!
HELLO AMERICA!!!
"Peace Loving"....I don't think so!!
