Delusion or Malice, take your pick: Evil news bias at the NYTimes

On Sunday February 26, 2012, the NYTimes online published a story, "In Nigeria, a Deadly Group's Rage Has Local Roots", wherein they painted the Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, as freedom fighters of a sort, with no mention of their continual slaughter of peaceful Christians in northern Nigeria (though initially these Christians did try to fight back).  The terrorist killers — linked to al-Qaeda and al-Shabaab — are bent on a campaign of "religious cleansing" to make the north a strictly Islamic state.  Their message to Christians:  If you stay, you die.  Ditto for any opposing the Islamic agenda.


For an accurate view see Barnabas Aid's reportage:  "Christians Flee Northern Nigeria As Deadly Attacks Continue" (see also sidebar with related articles).


This bias is nothing new at the NYT.  On Jan 24 of this year they wrote, "In Police Training, a Dark Film on U.S. Muslims" — this with respect to the courageous documentary, The Third Jihad.  The producer, Clarion Fund, says, "The New York Times cites the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a credible source, while continuing its policy of never mentioning that CAIR was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood."  CAIR has documented ties with numerous terrorist groups, as amply documented in the book, The Muslim Mafia, by Gaubatz and Sperry.  Clarion Fund did hit back with their video response, "Anatomy of a Smear", linked to on its The Third Jihad page. 


Reader, do you think I'm anti-American because of the theme image of Lightning Sword Journal above?  I'm not, but I am anti what America is becoming — is really far down the road to becoming! — the NYT just a precursor to what lies ahead.  For all its lofty "freedom-speak", NYT will betray us and become an organ of the Oppression.  If our beloved land betrays the principles on which it was founded and becomes a police state — actually far more than a police state, which I will elaborate on shortly — what is loyalty to America, cleaving to its original dream, and decrying its betrayal, or supporting an alien sort of Big Brother government that takes our freedoms from us (in the name of "safety" and "national security") and where freedom of speech — including freedom of the press — applies only to those who toe the line of acceptable submission to the State.


My grandfather, Stefan Von Müller, Editor of the Neue Freie Presse (New Free Press) in late 1930s Vienna, died in a Nazi prison while under Gestapo interrogation, as the "Jewish paper" Hitler loathed was no longer acceptable after the "Anschluss" of Austria, and had to be shut down.  I guess his blood is strong in my veins, and with the recent National Defense Authorization Act decreed into law (whereby American citizens may be detained indefinitely by the military for "national security" reasons — without any due process), I may have need of such blood.  He was, incidentally, a Jew who years earlier had converted to the Messiah of Israel, Jesus of Nazareth.


A good way to assess the agenda of radical Islam is to see how Muslims treat not only Christians in the countries where they are in power and Sharia law is enforced, but all who are not Muslims.  One can see in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Tunisia, Egypt, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Pakistan — I could go on and on! — one can see rapes, kidnappings, murders, bombings of churches, executions of pastors and their families, diversion of international aid in natural disasters, and various other kinds of oppression and persecution.


Which is not to say that all Muslims are like this.  An Egyptian friend of mine (Kamelia), an elderly woman, told me she has dear friends among her neighbors who are Muslim, and who love her.  And there are many others like this.  But the Koran, which is the Book that guides Muslims in the way they are to live, has in it the Suras mandating the enslaving, torturing, and killing of infidels — those who do not believe.  Even gentle Muslims may easily be radicalized, especially when violence and death are threatened against them and their families if they are not "devout" in their adherence to Muhammad and the Koran.


I regularly read the NYTimes, as their journalism is high quality. But then again, the devil produces high quality stuff as well.  There is a profound evil in their bias, which bodes ill for America.
