The MSM Ignores Facts In Favor Of Advocating An Alternate Reality

Michelle Malkin calls out the MSM for once again choosing to omit crucial facts from a story.   This time it's CBS News, which avoids informing its readers that an Imam pulled off a flight for suspicious behavior has admitted in the past to Al Qaeda ties, has connections to a Hamas-linked terror charity front and openly denies that Muslims were behind the 9-11 atrocities.  I think these revelations would cause any reasonable person to raise an eyebrow.  These facts, however, contradict the political correctness model to which the MSM ascribes.  Rather than examining what dangers Muslims may pose to our health, safety and general welfare, the media would rather examine what dangers we pose to Muslims.  Not to get pessimistic, but the devotion of our society to relativism and "tolerance" could be our undoing.   I've seen no evidence that most Muslims adhere to these same attributes, but they sure know how to exploit them.  Look  no further than the Imam's efforts to generate sympathy through the "pray-in" at Reagan National Airport. 

The biggest risk the West faces is allowing ourselves to be guilted into foregoing all good sense.  It's quite brilliant, really.  The United States is almost impervious to conventional invading armies, but a terrorist group wearing the cloak of religious devotion is the perfect virus to penetrate our defenses.  The political objectives of the terrorists are inseparable from their religious  beliefs.  Terror suspects who scream "Islamophobia" or accuse their captors of violating their religious rights know that they will generate a great deal of sympathy with the media establishment.  This puts us at a significant disadvantage and imperils our safety.  We cannot allow those Muslims who may wish us harm to hide behind the religious freedom protections they would never extend to those of other faiths.  The religious and cultural ambiguity crowd had better wake up from their moral relativism-induced coma, and fast.

Update:  Dean Barnett's outrage over the Imams' behavoir is growing.
