A great article in National Review. It’s time for the Media to stop coming up with excuses for Islamic Jihadists. Every time there’s a terror attack done by Muslims, excuses are made. Many people are getting sick of it.
This War Is Not About Grievances
The attack in India was not the test of Barack Obama’s mettle that Joseph Biden has predicted. But it was a test. The terrorists were communicating who they are and what they want. Obama, like the rest of us, can choose to understand — or we can wrap ourselves in comforting illusions.
The Times of India instructed its readers: “Terrorists have no religion.” That’s a lovely sentiment but it bears no relationship to reality. In Mumbai — as in London, Madrid, Bali, New York, Jerusalem and so many other places — the slaughter was carried out by men who regarded themselves as jihadis, holy warriors, doing Allah’s will. Aijaz Zaka Syed, a columnist for the Dubai-based Khaleej Times, faces this fact: “How many innocents have to die in the name of Islam,” he asked, “before Muslim leaders and countries take effective action to deal with the nuts, who are out to destroy us all with their nihilistic cult?”
Muslims never do wrong according to the Leftist media. They are always right and the whole world is wrong!
