Media to Muslims: You're Not Like the Rest of Us |
http://catholicleague.org/06press_releases/quarter%204/061201_media_to_muslims.htm
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, called attention today
to the media portrayal of Muslims during the pope's visit to Turkey:
"One of the basic mantras of multiculturalism is that all peoples and
all cultures are essentially the same. But if this were true, then how
does one explain how the media portrayed Muslims this past week?"
NPR, 11-26: "Should the pope pray, make the sign of the cross or get
down on his knees while there, he's likely to further anger Turkish
Muslims...."
New York Times, 11-28: "But on this trip, any mention too specific
about religious freedom holds the danger of offending Turkey."
AP, 11-28: "It [Haghia Sophia] is now a museum, and Turks would take
offense at any religious gesture by the pontiff...."
AP, 11-28: "Benedict also said guarantees of religious freedom are
essential for a just society, comments that risked bringing the Vatican
into conflict with some Islamic nations that allow only Muslims to
worship or impose restrictions on religious minorities."
New York Daily News, 11-29: "Pope Benedict began a sensitive trip to
Turkey yesterday seeking to ease Muslim concerns, but risked stoking
more anger by urging religious leaders to 'utterly refuse' to back
violence in the name of faith."
"The subtext of these statements is that Muslims are not like the
rest of us. After all, can anyone imagine Jews getting angry because
the pope made the sign of the cross while in Israel? Moreover, why is
it that the sheer mention of religious liberty is likely to offend?
What kind of people are they, anyway? And who, other than Muslims,
would actually get angry if the leader of some other religion were to
say that killing in the name of God is wrong? What does this say about
their religion?
"If this is all it takes to anger Muslims-along with cartoons they
don't like-then we're all in big trouble. It's time we started
asking the tough questions."

The media don't buy into multiculturalism?

I'm sure the pinko commie liberals like Blabba and his pals will have
some excuse ready.

"There is something feeble and a little contemptible about
a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of
comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is
aware that they are myths and that he believes them only
because they are comforting. But he dare not face this
thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his
opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are
disputed." -Bertrand Russell
