Don’t look now, but Islam is becoming the MSM’s official
religion of America.
Now, it’s not just that no one bats an eye at the amazing truth
that the United States is beaming TV ads all over Pakistan
apologizing for a derogatory Internet trailer for a nonexistent
movie demeaning the being that Muslims call “The Prophet Mohammed.”
No one in the MSM even slightly hints that doing the kowtow in the
same country that sheltered Osama bin Laden to a group that reveled
in, delighted in the terrorism against American civilians and still
provides the framework for the terrorist Haqqani network, might be
humiliating and an insult to the memory of the great Americans who
were murdered just last week in Libya.
No, we just take it in stride that our President and our
Secretary of State will apologize to the people who hate us and
want us dead. That’s not what I am referring to.
I am referring to something worse: Have you noticed that in the
past few years, and especially in the past few weeks since the
murder of the Ambassador and his guards and colleague in Benghazi
(a city that Erwin Rommel loved and whose inhabitants he praised),
whenever the New York Times refers to Mohammed, they
always call him, without quotation marks, The Prophet Mohammed, as
if everyone with any sense understands that OF COURSE Mohammed is
The One True Prophet and that it’s just understood that Mohammed is
The Prophet.
I see this in other news outlets and on TV, too. Sober-looking
newsmen and newswomen mention Mohammed as The Prophet Mohammed. No
ifs, ands or buts. I hear it on the BBC World Service, too.
Now, if Muslims want to believe that Mohammed is The Prophet,
God bless them. Fine and dandy. If anyone wants to believe that,
good luck to him or her. But why does our mainstream
media here in the USA, an overwhelmingly Christian country,
refer to Islam’s prophet as “The Prophet”?
Have you ever seen any major newspaper here in the USA refer to
Jesus Christ as “The Son of God, God Incarnate, The Lord Jesus
Christ”? Can you imagine the New York Times running a
story about a crucifix resting in urine at an “art gallery” as an
offense against “The Lord Jesus, Son of God”? Can you imagine any
large newspaper in this country running a story about the Pope and
referring to him as “The Holy Father, The Bridge Between Heaven and
Earth”? Or about Mary, as “Holy Mary, Mother of God”? It would
never happen.
But somehow, probably because the people writing the articles
and editing them or the producers on TV news shows fear being
beheaded — and who doesn’t? — we have adopted in our media the
Muslim assertion that Mohammed is The Prophet while giving other
religious figures the back of our media hand.
This is frightening. We are not supposed to be doing obeisance
to a religious group that has many adherents who want us dead. We
are not, as journalists, supposed to be labeling anyone as “The”
Prophet. But somehow, it’s happening. The MSM has become a voice
for Islam.
Hitler saw it long ago. Terror and fear of violence can bring
about amazing changes in people’s behavior. So can a misguided
political correctness and self-loathing for the greatest nation on
earth.
I overheard a conversation between two women at a dining table
just yesterday. One said, “I don’t care what anyone says, Obama is
a Muslim” (she has said it before) and the other said, “He’s not a
Muslim. He’s just stupid.”
I didn’t say anything to them. I am just telling you, these do
not feel like normal days. They feel like latter days.
There is just a feeling in the air, a look in the sky at dusk, a
look on people’s faces. Fear is everywhere. Mr. Obama cannot lose
this election unless enough people believe it’s within their power
to stop the ticking of the clock, and I do not feel that
groundswell. Not at all. When the American media turns its back on
our own religions of tolerance and adores a religion of
intolerance, times are upside down. The MSM says it’s all fine,
trust The Prince of Grant Park, Chicago. But I have always
preferred the admonition, “Put not your trust in princes.”
Something is wrong.
