All the Lack of Truth Not Fit to Print

Why is this story buried? I'll answer that in a minute. The media is majoring in minors right now but that does not excuse them for underreporting and not reporting accurately about the shopping mall potential massacre this week. Several lost their lives and many more could have without the intervention of an off-duty policeman. Did you know that those gunned down were done so by an 18-year-old Muslim who was "perhaps traumatized from his experiences in Bosnia"?

Why should this media suppression surprise us? World Net Daily reports that Homeland Security employees continue to complain that their boss, Michael Chertoff, is hamstringing counter-terror operations with pro-Islamic political correctness. It's the same old mantra employees are supposed to quote: "Don't describe Islamic terrorism and do respect Islam as a 'religion of peace.' " Somehow I thought that sentiment had been appropriately dismissed but that is not the case.

An unnamed employee stated, "It's constantly drilled into us that Islam is not the enemy, and that the terrorists are merely a minority of 'extremists' distorting Islam."

According to papers obtained by World Net Daily, a caution was sent to Homeland Security employees right after two dozen terrorists plotted to blow up 10 airliners over the Atlantic. In it he informs his staff to use the word "extremists," not terrorists. The media cooperates by substituting similar words such as "militants," "insurgents," "fighters," "freedom fighters," and pretty much ignoring the foul nine-letter word "terrorist." "Resistance groups" is the term often substituted for terror groups. But they are "resisting" normal civilization!

Israel, America, and other parts of the West try to make peace gestures to some who are barbarian in nature. We try to engage them in "dialogue" in the hope that we will foster mutual respect and understanding, and eventually trust and even friendship. Such delusion!

Chertoff has seen to it that a Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) official got a VIP tour of the department's anti-terror screening operations at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. An outraged American Airlines official said, "CAIR had a special inside tour of airport security."

During the recent Hajj pilgrimage, Homeland Security ordered custom officials to respect the rituals of Muslim travelers returning from Mecca, including public praying in the airport. Could a Christian get this kind of special treatment? How about a Jew? Could Buddhists erect a statue of Buddha in every airport and slow pedestrian traffic as they lit incense and prayed before the statue? It just wouldn't happen. The special treatment is only for Muslims.

So it should be no surprise that the story of a young Muslim creating carnage in Utah this week did not get all the details reported.

Ancient Israel had her golden calves. The Western world has theirs, and one of them is called "political correctness." God judged Israel for her foolishness. How long will God keep His Hand of protection on America when we act with denial, carelessness, poor judgment, and no common sense, most coming under the banner of political correctness? Sure, He can keep us safe for all the good we do for the world and has since 9/11. But there is evil among us, in America, Israel, Europe, and more, and we cannot make nice to them, light candles, and sing "Give Peace a Chance." These characters aren't looking for peace; they're looking to take over the world and by the sword if necessary.
