But I am sure, had Islamic terrorist groups not taken the blame themselves, it would hav esimply been “Unknown men” that had committed the atrocities on their fellow man…or shold I say…INFIDELS.

According to Reuters (via Michelle Malkin):…

Although I guess it’d be politically incorrect to label them as anything unless they were white people.

To paraphrase a line from the movie, The Sting:

All ya got to do is reeead!

Come on people, after all this time and all the world events since 9/11, or even the Clinton years, you still haven’t checked it out for yourselves. This is a serious contradiction in terms. According to the Koran there are only Muslims and those with whom Muslims are at war.

Good grief, people!!

I was just mocking fastidious and pretentious sophisticates who do not pronounce the name “van Gogh” in the same way that most of us do. I apologize if I distracted from your serious point. (I stand in proud solidarity with “clueless Americans.”)

I think this kind of incident plays on the minds of all media when reporting on muslims around the world.

Can anyone say Theo van Gogh?

Well, we ~could~ say it. But it is more prudent to confine oneself to writing it.

To say it, one must decide whether to say it like a clueless American, a pretentious, wannabe Frenchie, or, most authentically, like a Dutchman, which NObody will get.

Yep…saying this name in perilous. [grin]

You cannot trust the media to report on what Islamists are doing. They have some unwritten rule to protect them from the proper speculation. God forbid they be presented as anything else other than “The Religion of Peace”.

I think the media are flat-out scared to death of the peace-loving muslims. Can anyone say Theo van Gogh?

In other words, this had zero to do with their religion, and was likely an ethnic spat?

By your logic the conflict in Northern Ireland between Protestants and Catholics was an “ethnic spat” and had “zero” to do with religion because both groups are Christian. And the conflict between Sunni and Shia in Iraq has nothing at all to do with religion because they are both muslim, right? Or you could actually read the article:

Reports in local media suggest Chechens had been involved in long-running disagreements with other Muslims at the centre over religious practices.

I’ll try drinking more coffee and re-reading….

yet one more example of the childish, immature way in which Muslims act when it comes to such things. Even now, after how long of riots and “uprisings” of the Muslim population in France, the media STILL refuses to report that it is the Muslim “youth” that is carrying out such destruction.

Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
