Freeps: Islam "a grand case of Orwellian double speak from Liberal media"


COMMENT from "Dark Skies" (the Freeper who posted it): "This was apparently written by a student. I thought it was a nice little nugget worth sharing. Nice to know some people in university aren't buying the liberal line."

Religion of Peace (one student who gets it)

The Islam as a great religion of peace characterization is one of the grandest cases of Orwellian double speak propaganda that has ever been perpetrated by the Liberal media. Where is their journalistic impartiality? The same major media outlets, which are so reluctant to publish Danish cartoons, apparently have no qualms about showing new Abu Grave (sic) pictures, releasing the intricacies of our domestic intelligence gathering, or the vulnerable spots of our soldier's armor and equipment.

Coupled with this is an aggressive abridgement of free speech. The "peaceful" practitioners of Islam start assassinating people and burning things whenever an Infidel voices any form of criticism. Nor are believers spared Allah's wrath either; take Salman Rushdie for instance. In fact, when I mention writing this article to anyone, they always advise me to be quiet or I will probably be killed. Possibly killed by being run over with a car, like the terrorist just did at UNC. If a Jihadist doesn't get me first, then the Leftists will. Most likely by suspending me from school, which also happened recently in Illinois to students who did have the spine to publish the cartoons.

There has been a consistent movement among Liberal professors and journalists to distort the true nature of Islam. In effect, they are running PR for any group that is anti-American, especially Islamic radicals. Certainly we can all agree that the 9/11 attacks were America's fault... (Islam's little monument to peace). They have duped the average college student into thinking that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. All this, while the head of state in Iran is spewing rhetoric that would make Adolph Hitler cringe, and swearing to wipe Israel and America off the face of the earth.

By now any Liberal will begin losing their grip on reality. They will fall back on their sole and favorite tactic (name calling) in order to obstruct free speech and eliminate any actual debate. But before they can, I am going to eliminate their miniscule, cliched grab bag of pejoratives, which they will inevitably try and use against me.

2. Islam CAN
be a peaceful religion...there's nothing saying it can't be. It's not all that different in that respect from Judaism or Christianity.

The problem's with the user, not the programming.

4. Their beloved "Christianity" is
and has been by far the bloodiest of ALL religions. Burning people at the stake? Where does this "student" get his information, Jerry Fall-well?

8. Any religion (or broad secular ideology) can be used for evil ends
Christians don't have a monopoly on that sort of thing.

6. Here's a sample of the idiocy...
"Fascist: A fascist is an adherent of ultra-nationalistic socialism; so you lefties are halfway there..."

Lefties are "ultra-nationalistic"? I don't think so.

No, fascism is more like ultra-nationalistic corporatism, and the righties are all the way there.

7. I suppose this young lad has never heard of
Edited on Sun Mar-12-06 07:37 PM by Daphne08
the Crusades (lasting almost 200 years), the four Inquisitions (especially the delightful Spanish Inquisition generally represented by the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada), the Malleus Malefactorum, etc., etc., etc.


Oh, and by the way, I'm a Christian, but I try to refrain from criticizing other religions.
