Bobby Ghosh and Chuck Todd: Ignorance x ignorance = another typical day at MSNBC

Turns out mainstream journalists aren’t fighting the Judeo-Christian worldview – they simply don’t have a clue what “Judeo-Christian” means.

Many people wonder why mainstream journalists seem to be at war with Western civilization. Now we have the answer. Turns out they aren’t fighting the Judeo-Christian worldview – they simply don’t have a clue what “Judeo-Christian” means.

Chuck Todd, filling in for Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball, interviewed Time Magazine’s World Editor Bobby Ghosh, who tried to make excuses for Muslim murder rampages in the wake of the Florida Koran burning by explaining that burning the Koran is more “inflammatory” than burning a Bible:

“The Bible is a book written by men. It is acknowledged by Christians that it is written by men. It’s the story of Jesus.”

Actually, only the New Testament is the story of Jesus, Bobby, and the Bible is considered the Word of God, although Christians and Jews are open-minded enough to admit physically putting the words on paper. And by the way, Bobby, the Muslims apparently agree about the Word of God thing, because they borrowed most of the Old Testament for their Koran.

“If you’re a Muslim, the Koran is directly the word of God, not written by man. It is transcribed, it is directly the word of God. That makes it sacred in a way that it’s hard to understand if you’re not Muslim. So the act of burning a Koran is much more… potentially much, much more inflammatory than than if you were to burn a … burn a Bible.”

Naturally, the brain-dead Chuck Todd enthusiastically agreed, repeatedly interjecting the phrase “Directly attacking God, uh-huh, uh-huh” while Ghosh spoke.

While it’s mind-boggling that Time’s World Editor could be this ignorant about Christianity, the religion of one third of the world’s people, and that an American MSNBC reporter could be so uneducated about his own culture, even more mind-boggling is that they used the word “inflammatory” in a discussion about burning Korans and Bibles and didn’t laugh.

Angry Pakistani mob protests Florida Koran-burning by burning Obama in effigy

A morning protest in Jalalabad city was peaceful, with shouting for U.S. troops to leave and burning an effigy of President Barack Obama.

Consider this “But They Were Supposed To Love Us After That Cairo Speech – Part XXXVI.”

The Associated Press reports the latest example of what a media-fueled farce Obama’s Cairo speech was:

A morning protest in Jalalabad city was peaceful, with hundreds of people blocking a main highway for three hours, shouting for U.S. troops to leave and burning an effigy of President Barack Obama before dispersing, according to an Associated Press photographer at the scene.

Hold on just a damn minute. We don’t think that’s an effigy of President Obama. The ears are too small and the bulge in the pants is too big. Might be Michelle instead.

Florida Koran burning and its aftermath: Another example of how the media slants the news

We’re willing to call both sides wacko, but Reuters can’t bring itself to do the same. It only seems to have a problem with one side of this issue and we’re pretty sure you can probably guess which side it is.

Terry Jones, the wacko Christian preacher in Florida, burned a Koran in public the other day. That was followed by wacko Muslims rioting in Afghanistan.

We’re willing to call both sides wacko, but Reuters can’t bring itself to do the same. It only seems to have a problem with one side of this issue and we’re pretty sure you can probably guess which side it is.

Reuters calls Terry Jones, who burned a Koran, a radical, fundamentalist exremist

In an 859-word article headlined “Ten dead in Afghan Koran burning protests,” the huge European news service refers to Jones as “a radical fundamentalist Christian” and “extremist Christian preacher Terry Jones.” Yet no similar incendiary adjectives were used to describe the Muslim Afghan protesters who rioted in the streets of Kandahar and killed ten people. Quite to the contrary, they are called “deeply religious.”

For example, shouldn’t someone performing a suicide attack be considered extremist? Not to Reuters:

A suicide attack also hit a NATO military base in the capital Kabul, the day after protesters over-ran a U.N. mission in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif and killed seven foreign staff, in the deadliest attack on the UN in Afghanistan.

Taliban extremists are transformed into “burkha-clad insurgents” by Reuters:

In Kabul on Saturday, a small group of burkha-clad insurgents attacked a coalition base,

afghan-protest
Reuters says Afghani rioters who killed ten people and injured dozens are "deeply religious"

Riot all you want and commit mayhem for days on end, but if you’re Muslim Reuters will not use harsh adjectives to describe you:

A band of around 150 men who had taken to the streets to denounce the Koran burning set tires alight, smashed shops and assaulted an Afghan photographer, Reuters’ witnesses said. Some of the attackers were carrying guns.

The photographer was hit over the head and had his camera taken from him and smashed, by protesters who discussed killing him.

They’re demonstrators, not extremists and certainly not fundamentalists:

Around 5,000 demonstrators flooded into the streets…

The violence was extreme, perhaps, but not those who committed it:

Some were horrified by the extreme violence but not all had sympathy for the foreign dead.

And finally, the article concludes with this:

More volatile protests are possible across deeply religious Afghanistan…

So the way we understand this totally impartial article, Terry Jones is a “radical fundamentalist…extremist” because he burned a Koran in public, but the Afghan rioters who killed ten people, slit at least one throat, injured dozens, and destroyed private property are “deeply religious.”

And that, friends, is what Reuters calls balanced reportage.

Holy moly: Bill Maher tells Muslim Congressman that the Koran is a hate-filled book. And worse.

HBO’s Bill Maher went off on pseudo-crying Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison. If he gets sued, we’re pretty sure he’ll cop the temporary sanity plea.

Somebody get us the smelling salts because we’re feeling a little faint. HBO’s Bill Maher went off on pseudo-crying Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison. If he gets sued, we’re pretty sure he’ll cop the temporary sanity plea.

Mediaite.com has the remarkable turn of events:

Ellison, who was raised Catholic, said he was drawn to Islam initially due to a message of “inclusion and “social justice,” and spoke of the need for “religious pluralism” in society. It was smooth sailing at that point – Maher even said “right on.” But then, Maher went off on radical Islam, deeming “the threat, potentially, from radicalized Muslims…a unique and greater threat” – one, he said, that’s in its “medieval era.” In addition, he cited “trying to get nuclear weapons” and a “culture of suicide bombing.”

But that paled next to Maher’s criticism of the Qur’an, which he called a “hate-filled holy book…which is taken very literally” by radical Islamic terrorists. Ripping suicide bombers is one thing…maligning the holy book for the entirety of Islam is quite another. Ellison, of course, disagreed, saying Maher was “lumping together things that shouldn’t be lumped together,” and that terrorists “take things out of context to do what they want to do” – in fact, that “terrorist rhetoric” has little to do with religion at all.

Maher allowed that the “vast, vast giant majority of Muslims aren’t the problem,” but added that with terrorists, “it just takes one.” Maher also seemed unconvinced of Ellison’s Qur’an defense, even as Ellison cited a passage that claims that taking one life is akin to killing the whole world, and saving a life is like saving the entire world: “Am I getting the wrong translation? ‘Cause that’s what every Muslim always tells me.”

Maher’s Hollywood friends – we know you’re probably wondering how someone as vile as Maher could have friends, but please note that we said Hollywood friends. Everyone knows that Hollywood friends have nothing in common with real friends. Hollywood friends are just people who do that Sopranos hug and back slap thing to people they secretly loathe at awards shows and then pray that the person they’re hugging and slapping never gets another role because that would be one less role that they could get and Hollywood is fueled by equal quantities of jealosy and deception. And, of course, cocaine…

Anyway, as we were saying, Maher’s Hollywood friends are undoubtedly staging an intervention at this very moment.

Indonesian teacher says Obama attended Muslim prayer sessions against his mother’s wishes

The US President’s former grade three teacher said that Mr Obama – who was known as “Barry” when he attended the Menteng One school in Jakarta – studied the Koran and went to classes on Islam, despite the objections of Anne Dunham, a Roman Catholic.

When a guy reaches the ripe old age of 40 with no accomplishments on his record yet still manages to churn out two autobiographies, you’d think he’d need to dredge up every possible story from his past to fill a few pages.

obama-muslim
This story may increase the percentage of Americans who believe Obama is Muslim

But, no, not if that man is Barack Obama. If you’re Barack Obama, your life has been so eventful that you actually need to suppress a few memories.

Like this one, for example:

The US President’s former grade three teacher said that Mr Obama – who was known as “Barry” when he attended the Menteng One school in Jakarta – studied the Koran and went to classes on Islam, despite the objections of Anne Dunham, a Roman Catholic.

The teacher’s recollections will add to speculation about Mr Obama’s links to Islam during his much-anticipated visit to Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, as part of his ten-day tour of Asia.

…Mr Obama attended classes on Islam while the Christians attended classes on Christianity, said Effendi. Barry, he said, was alone among the pupils in that he insisted on attending both.

“His mother did not like him learning Islam, although his father was a Muslim. Sometimes she came to the school; she was angry with the religious teacher and said ‘Why did you teach him the Koran?’” said Effendi.

“But he kept going to the classes because he was interested in Islam. He would also join the other pupils for Muslim prayers.”

Yup. We’re going with the suppressed memory concept. We’re sure that it was traumatic for the young lad and he was merely suppressing the memories to avoid the pain they trigger.

Just great. OPEC will soon be joined by CUPEC (Camel Urine Producing & Exporting Countries)

According to SaudiGazette.com, Dr. Faten Abdel-Rahman Khorshid has developed a potential cure for cancer based on camel urine.

Korshid is a Saudi scientist, faculty member at King Abdul Aziz University and President of the Tissues Culture Unit at King Fahd Center for Medical Research. After five years of research, she has announced that nano-particles in camel urine can be used to fight cancer.

Dr. Khorshid says she was inspired by medical advice given by the Prophet Muhammad in the Koran.

“This treatment is not an invention,” she said, “but rather, taken from our Prophet’s legacy.”

In related news, President Obama announced that the “stimulus” had saved or created another 150,000 jobs, demonstrating his theory that the economy can be cured with bullshit.
