Jihad or Not Jihad? That is the Question

Picture
After every shooting, bombing or beheading by a Muslim terrorist, the first thing the progressive media always does is ask "I wonder what their motive was? Were they a republican? A Christian? We just don't know." This is done even when the murderers name is clearly Muslim. Likewise, it doesn't matter if the perpetrator shouts "Alluha Akbar....kill the infidel" while gunning down civilians and hacking off heads, they still persist in this politically correct charade of consciously attempting to misidentify the killer. And, they do so for a reason.

Once it becomes clear that the murderer was a Muslim fanatic, leaving the media no alternative but to acknowledge the obvious, we begin to see articles like "10 terror attacks by right-wing Christian that are definitely worse than this latest attack by an alleged Muslim, so don't be smug you right-wingers." This is done even if they have to go back a thousand years as the president did a few months ago in an effort to find some kind of parity.  After all, they're just after the truth, no matter how obscure.

From this revised perspective, progressives heartily nod in agreement, concluding that Christians, especially right-wing Christians, are terrible bigots.  And, voila, as if by magic, the victim has now become the victimizer, and collective blame can be apportioned accordingly. Once this is accomplished, the farce is complete.

This arduous deception allows Leftists to identify the real source of the problem, at least as they perceive it, anyway. Meaning, America and Americans. In particular, fat, stupid, white, republicans Americans, including any and all who happen to disagree with the progressive cause of undermining everything that is essentially good about our shared culture.

That, my friends, is the purpose of the charade. It is what magicians and pick pockets call misdirection.  Get people to focus on some slight of hand and you can get away with just about anything. Don't let them. Expose the lies for what they are and see the real enemy, that being radical Islam and the progressive media who act as apologists for the enemy from within. Before its too late.
