The return of Theater of Jihad

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 5, 2008 10:22 AM

It’s baaaaack. Loyal readers will recall the summer of jihadi propaganda and the blogosphere backlash against MSM fauxtography in 2006 and beyond. Slublog’s Passion of the Toys spotlighted the uncanny Middle Eastern photo stringers’ penchant for finding pristine stuffed animals and dolls amid the rubble of war. LGF and others caught numerous examples of magically-appearing Korans.

With things heating up in the fauxtographic oasis of Gaza, the jihadi sympathizers are back to playing hide and seek again.

The Jawa Report has the latest.

Meanwhile, there are new developments in the father of all fauxtography scandals–the al Dura case in France. See PJM and Backspin for fresh reports.

    At least they put some dirt on it this time. Remember the stuffed toy (I think it was Mickey Mouse) that looked like it had just come of the toy store shelf that was found in a the rubble of a destroyed building.

    The Shooty no Shooty incident is still my favorite jihadi propaganda piece. It is also a great piece of evidence that the gun hating left knows absolutely zilch about firearms.

    They are just doing what their prophet taught them. . . lie, cheat, deceive, kill. . . nothing to see here from the ‘religion of peace’.

    They may have found an “uninjured” koran, but there is a reason for that. The Israelis weren’t trying to kill anything in the fiction section of the library. They were trying to kill the folks lobbing rockets into Israeli territory.

    If in the “staging areas” they find any empty shipping containers marked with the NBC peacock logo, they’d better run!

    It means Richard “Chipper” Engel is on his way in to do one of his hit pieces on the U.S. military, and he’ll be sure to go on yet another tear-jerking whine jag about how Bush and the war have ruined his marriage.

    You all know damn well if i do not stage the picture I will never have a chance of getting that pulitzer.

    Its a lesson i have learned from CBS, ABC, and Al-Jizzeera. A great mentor has been Al Gorey. If I lie and stage enough I can get pulitzer, golden globe, even the Nobel Peace prise.

    Hey all we need is a small concrete building, some Korans and a stinger missile..

    And just in case they make it out of the shed a bon fire to see if they really are fire proof.

    And ftw I can slap a couple on the traps on the shooting range….hey if they can survive a building falling down on them a 308 shouldn’t even scuff it.

    (Also if anyone can find rage boy I would like to put him though the same battery of tests…that beard looks almost as tuff as chucks)

    Taqiyya in action.

    Like the Dems, Muslims like to hide behind their children while they lob grenades at us, daring us to return fire.

    Unlike the Dems, Muslims have goals for their children; granted, that goal is death/jihad, but it is a goal nonetheless.

    At what altitude will the small concrete building be flying? Just askin’ ’cause the Stinger is a SHORAD (Short Range Air Defense) system. :)

    Simple oversight! How could I possibly forget his bug-eyes and snarl! I get a laugh every time I see him.

    E.Koenig et al

    You need to decide how much of the building you want to remove before you do the weaponeering on it. At a certain point, no one will believe that the Koran/stuffed animal was not placed there after the fact. Of course, for our media, this threshold is in the nuclear category…

    And why is it that 98% of the tape and photographs from Gaza are of children being rushed to the emergency room.

    And 80% of those children are conscious, not crying, and have no visible injuries.
