Fear Of Muslims Motivates AP To Dump 26 Year Double Standard

Common Sense Commentary: It is so revealing of the Associated Press that it took fear of Muslims to motivate them to remove, from their portfolio, an artwork of Christ on a crucifix, in a jar of the artists urine, of which they sold prints. Christians have complained about it for 26 years, but 26 years of offending God, Christ and Christians, with AP's abomination, did not move them to remove it from their site. Why? Obviously because they have no fear of God, of Christ or of Christians boycotting them or attacking them. They knew, of course, that Christians wouldn't bomb, shoot, burn or even insult them and they also knew that Muslims would do any or all of those things to them if they whispered one negative syllable about Mohammad. So they forgot all about their jar of urine with image of Christ in it, and told the world how that their policy was, "not to use offensive pictures or cartoons or articles which insult Muslims", like those dumb French, news-service people did, and twelve of them got murdered by Muslims because of it.  So AP  forgot all about 26 years of insulting Christ and Christians .... until a Christian spoke up and called their hand on the contradiction. So to keep from looking like inconsistent, Liberal morons, and a bunch of double dealing, Christ hating heroes, spieling out their high standards, they quickly hid their prized jar of urine and pretended it never happened. I guess we have the Muslim terrorists to thank for that? Stranger than fiction. RB



It took Paris attack for AP to remove ‘Piss Christ’ photo after 26 yrs.

"There is none as blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who chose to ignore what they already know."

According to what I could find during my two-minute Internet research session, the above saying is an old English proverb first attributed to Sir John Hayward in 1546. But the sentiments expressed could easily be applied to President Barak Obama and many other political leaders, as well as media commentators, when it comes to what some refer to as "radical Islam," which is an extremely oppressive and violent version of one of the world's largest religions. Enough Muslims subscribe to it that they are wreaking havoc around the world. What happened in Paris on Wednesday was the latest example with 12 people murdered. They worked at a newspaper that was known for taking satirical shots at religion and religious figures, including making fun of Islam.

How would you characterize the treatment of radical Islam by liberal politicians and media pundits? Genuinely don't know the truth Personally don't like or believe the truth Purposely ignore the truth Vote View Results What happened on 9/11, in Boston, at Fort Hood – and in recent weeks in Canada, in Australia, and now in France – is called jihad. It is a teaching within Islam that says Muslims are commanded by Allah to engage in violence against the "infidel." It is very plain to read in the Koran. The jihadists, as was the case in Paris, are proud of their actions. They will tell the world straight up why they are doing what they are doing. Yet political leaders and many in the media who subscribe to political correctness continue to "ignore what they already know."

It would be like a judge asking a bank robber why he robbed the bank, and the robber saying to the judge: "I robbed the bank for money." And then the judge looks back and him and says: "No, seriously. Did you have a bad childhood? Tell me the real reason you robbed the bank..."

Now if you are going to engage in mocking Islam publicly, as this newspaper did, you need to be prepared to live in fear of being killed by those who believe it pleases Allah to defend their religion. Most major media outlets around the world have conceded this reality and decided to stick with mocking Jesus Christ and Christianity instead – a tactic much, much safer physically and certainly more acceptable within Western intellectual circles. Christians write letters and call you on the phone when they are offended. At worst, they might boycott your publication. Muslims, like the ones in Paris, bomb your building or cut off your head.

One of the largest news agencies in the world, the BBC, said they intentionally practice a double-standard when it comes to Islam and Christianity. BBC director-general Mark Thompson* said Christianity is treated with far less sensitivity at his company than other religions because it is "pretty broad shouldered."

Translation: Christians can take it, Muslims can't. So we leave them alone.

Many verses in the Koran instruct Muslims to commit acts of violence against non-Muslims in order to please Allah. This is why these people do what they do. They are not "crazy" in the sense that they have a mental illness. They are perfectly functional, intelligent individuals. They just believe the Koran when it promises that Muslims who fight for Allah (literally) here on earth will be rewarded by Allah.

Why the politically correct crowd will not acknowledge the obvious is really bizarre, especially since most PC subscribers are highly educated people. And everyone knows that all Muslims are not terrorists. But everyone also knows that almost all acts of terrorism today are committed by practicing Muslims. This practice of pretending you don't know (or perhaps not wanting to know) from where these jihadists get their motivation and ideology is really quite foolish and silly.
