Terrorati Strike Again

Seraphic Secret has written at length about the Terrorati, (H/T Seraphic Friend Ralphie, who coined the term) the arch liberals in the mainstream media who enable Islamofascists by giving them space in their newspapers to voice jihadist propaganda.

The guardians of the MSM, no doubt, defend their editorial decisions by arguing that we need to know what this segment of the Muslim world is thinking.

This is nonsense. I have never seen the New York Times give Op Ed space to the Ku Klux Klan. And the Klan is not half as radical — nor is it genocidal as is Hizbullah and Hamas.

But the MSM correctly find the ideology of the KKK to be so offensive that they will not extend editorial space to such cretins.

Yet Hamas and Hizbullah, whose ideology is far more vicious than the toothless KKK, have nation states at their disposal—Lebanon, Iran and Syria—with which to wage jihadist war, are welcomed in the editorial pages of this nations most liberal journals. Indeed, it is something of a red flag that the MSM seem not at all offended by Jew hatred, and the idea of a World Without Zionism — Orwellian-speak for genocide — that constitutes the daily rhetoric of Hamas and Hizbullah.

Thus, we must conclude that the KKK's hatred of blacks is repugnant to the MSM.

But Jew-hatred and malignant eliminationist anti-Zionism is acceptable.

Because, y'know, the Jews brought it on themselves.

This is what constitutes progressive thought.

Be aware that the editorials and sound bytes put out by these media-wise Islamists never accurately reflect their world views. These sharia yearning, Jew-hating Muslims package their anti-Western ideology in the fuzzy-wuzzy tones of, what else, multiculturalism.

By giving editorial space to groups whose aim is genocide in Israel, the mainstream media serve to legitimize Islamic tyrants, enemies of western civilization, and those who condone the murder of innocent men, women and children — past, present and future.

Let's be honest: Liberals have a soft spot for fascists. They adored Stalin, and served as apologists for the Soviet communist dictators.

Here's a blast from the past:

In a 1949 conference at the Waldorf-Astoria attended by such prominent literary and artistic figures as the composers Aaron Copeland and Dmitri Shostakovich, the playwrights Arthur Miller, Clifford Odets and Lillian Hellman, and the novelist Norman Mailer, 'US warmongering' against the USSR was condemned, as were 'a small clique of hate-mongers' in Washington who had turned the US into a 'state of holy terror.' Odets said that the Truman administration comprised the 'enemies of Man' and Copeland said its policies 'will lead inevitably into a third world war.' All this came only months after the Berlin airlift.

A History of the English Speaking Peoples Since 1900, page 409.

Naturally Fidel is a perennial favorite, and gosh Chavez over in Venezuela looks to be just peachy. But the Soviet empire is gone and liberals are busy rewriting history, making believe that they too were anti-Communist. They were not. They agitated for "co-existence." Many favored and still yearn for socialism. See Hillary's Health care plan.

Currently, Liberals are furiously cozying up to their new fascist loves: IslamoNazis. Thus, liberals enable jihadists, apologize for terror, and blame Israel/Jews, America and religious Christians for all the ills that fester in the backward Arab/Muslim world.

Interpolation

As if the Arab/Muslim world was not mired in wars, primitive tribal murders, bloody clan feuds, honor killings by the bushel, stunning poverty, widespread disease, human slavery, and shocking ignorance — before Israel even existed.

End Interpolation

Gosh, if pro-Israel writers could get the yards of editorial space generously handed to Hamas and Hizbullah, well, there might actually be fewer dead Jews in the world today. But killing Jews and threatening Israel with annihilation is actually fashionable on the left. Go to the Daily Kos to read some real Jew-hatred. The Daily Kos is the world's largest website for liberals. Jew-hatred and Israel-hatred is a regular feature on their progressive threads.

Oh wait, the Democrats are going: to a Daily Kossack convention.

Talk about pandering to the anti-Israel Jew-haters of the left.

Flashback:

When I was a child my parents refused to allow me to play with certain children.

“Why not?” I demanded.

“They're bad kids,” my parents explained, “they will influence your behavior, and besides, you are judged by the company you keep.”

That's why people who care about Israel, who care about fighting IslamoNazis, should stop voting for the Democrats.

Fade to Black

In the battle against global Jihadist organizations, the challenge of how to effectively deal with Jihadist terror group propaganda remains a national issue that needs to be addressed.

Individuals who are either members of or supporters of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) (as designated by the U.S. State Department), are increasingly being represented in the U.S. news media's editorials, op-ed pieces, and other columns. FTO's Hizbullah and Hamas terrorist group figures are gaining unfettered access as columnists in major American newspapers, such as the Washington Post and the New York Times.

The Washington Post and Newsweek today has provided an online column for Hizbullah terrorist group supporter and religious leader Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah to discuss the nature of Jihad as a "defensive" struggle. The Washington Post column clearly describes Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah as a Hezbollah "supporter", stating that he is "a controversial figure known primarily for his support of the armed Shi’ite resistance movement, Hezbollah".

Hizbullah is a Foreign Terrorist Organization, and "Shaykh Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah" is on the US Department of Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN). As reported by Newsweek itself, "In 1983, U.S. officials accused him of issuing a religious edict, or fatwa, that condoned the devastating truck bombing of the Marine headquarters in Beirut ."

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

1. No profanity.

2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
