Nothing to see here. Move along |
Nothing to see here. Move along
By Michelle Malkin
Oct. 12 marks the fifth anniversary of the bombing of the USS Cole.
Seventeen American sailors were murdered in the attack. They were casualties
of a war with radical Islamic terror that America hadn't yet declared and
which the mainstream media still refuses to acknowledge today.
Too many of us were blind in 2000 - unable or unwilling or simply too
uninterested to connect such blood-stained dots as al Qaeda's 1993 World
Trade Center bombing attack, the 1996 Khobar Tower bombings, the 1998
African embassy bombings, and the attack on the Cole. After Sept. 11, 2001,
all of our eyes should have been pried wide open to the evils of Muslim
extremism that exist among us in both organized and freelance form.
The watchdogs in the national press, however, insist on clouding our vision.
Since 9/11, I've reported on the media's reluctance to highlight the
convicted Washington, D.C.-area snipers' Islamist proclivities and
journalists' refusal to call Egyptian gunman Hesham Hadayet's acts of murder
at the Israeli airline counter at Los Angeles International Airport on July
4, 2002, "terrorism."
Middle East scholar Daniel Pipes noted how quickly the media sought to
whitewash the bloody bus-hijacking by Croatian illegal alien Damir Igric a
month after 9/11. Although the incident "echoed similar attacks by
Palestinians on Israeli buses," Pipes observed, the "media attributed the
violence to post-traumatic stress syndrome."
National Guardsman Ryan Anderson (a.k.a. Amir Talhah), a Muslim convert who
allegedly attempted to pass sensitive military information to al Qaeda over
the Internet, rated barely a blip on the media radar screen.
Similarly, press accounts have downplayed the disruption of terrorist cells
on American soil: The Lackawanna Six were just nice Muslim boys led astray.
The Virginia Jihad Network was just a group of weekend paintball
enthusiasts. Those indicted imams in Lodi, Calif., are just misunderstood
"moderates." Terror suspects deported on immigration charges are just
victims of discrimination.
Now, many of my readers wonder why the MSM won't touch the strange and
troubling story of the University of Oklahoma bomber, Joel Henry Hinrichs
III. On Oct. 1, Hinrichs died on a park bench outside the school's packed
football stadium when a homemade bomb in his possession exploded. The
Justice Department has sealed a search warrant in the case. The university's
president, David Boren, is pooh-poohing local media and Internet blog
reports of possible jihadist influences on Hinrichs. The dead bomber was, we
are being told, simply a depressed and troubled young man with "no known
ties" to terrorism.
Never mind that, according to local news reporters, the bomb-making material
found in Hinrichs' apartment was triacetone triperoxide - the explosive
chemical of choice of shoe bomber Richard Reid and the London 7/7 subway
bombers.
Never mind the local police department's confirmation that Hinrichs had
attempted to buy ammonium nitrate a few days before his death.
Never mind the concerns of Oklahoma University student journalist Rachael
Kahne, who told me this week in a call for the media's help:
"I've been working on this story since the night it happened, and have been
stonewalled at every turn. . . . Minutes after the explosion, police busted
into a student's apartment and arrested four Muslim students who were there
for a small gathering (the president of the Muslim Student Association
assures me this was in no way a "party"). Among those arrested [and later
released] was Fazal Cheema, Joel Henry Hinrichs' Pakistani roommate. I was
baffled when I heard this. I didn't know how police would be able to
identify who Hinrichs was, where he lived, who his roommate was, and then
find where his roommate was in a matter of minutes. Something isn't adding
up, and I've been wracking my brain for the past week trying to figure out
what happened here. OU isn't saying anything more than the typical PR spin,
and the FBI won't talk."
Nothing to see here. Move along. Islam is a peaceful religion. Stop asking
so many damned questions.
Such is the attitude of the national media, which seems to believe that 'tis
better to live in ignorance and indulge in hindsight later than to offend
the gods of political correctness.

Thus Spake God's Creator; (I don't forgive *****!)
When some says to you... *Excuse me, are you standing on my toe*
and you just say;
"Move along. Islam is a peaceful religion. Stop asking
so many damned questions"
Always look for the *SUICIDE BOMBERS* to come next ;-)

...That was my only sin... :(
