If you’re an aid worker, consider yourself lucky that you got out of 2008 alive. Reuters reports that last year was the deadliest ever for aid workers. But the wire service left something very important out of its report – who did the killing?
Here’s how CreepingSharia.com revealed what Reuters didn’t or wouldn’t or dasn’t:
al-Reuters reports that 2008 was the deadliest year on record for aid workers and that three countries were responsible for most of the violence. What Reuters fails to mention is what those three countries – Somalia, Afghanistan, and Sudan – have in common that contributed to the killings: Islam.
In fact, the words Islam, Muslim, jihad, and sharia – all significant factors in the record number of aid worker deaths – are never mentioned by al-Reuters, who claims the deaths are an alarming trend.
Unfortunate? Absolutely. Disgusting? Without doubt. Alarming? Not really. Anyone paying any attention at all could tell you jihadists are killing on a regular basis. The alarming trend is not the killings but the refusal of Western governments and the mass media to acknowledge and report on the jihadists and ideology behind the killing. Not to mention policies forbidding use of those terms.
What’s that? There were no bands of crazed 13th century Christians raping and pillaging anywhere in the world? No conservatives slaughtering in the name of God? And no beheadings by disgruntled Republicans?
This is going to come as a big surprise to the Department of Homeland Security.
