There seems to be a pattern emerging. Most are familiar with the Muhammed cartoons and the violence that was promoted by the imams over those snippets of astute revelation. Most of the liberal media refused to print or show the cartoons.

But what many may not know is the systematic torture and slaughter of innocent Jews in France by Muslim adherents. Mark Steyn, writing in the Chicago Sun Times, notes…

Two years ago, a 23-year-old Paris disc jockey called Sebastien Selam was heading off to work from his parents’ apartment when he was jumped in the parking garage by his Muslim neighbor Adel. Selam’s throat was slit twice, to the point of near-decapitation; his face was ripped off with a fork; and his eyes were gouged out. Adel climbed the stairs of the apartment house dripping blood and yelling, “I have killed my Jew. I will go to heaven.”

…in the same city, on the same night, a Jewish woman was brutally murdered in the presence of her daughter by another Muslim.

This month, there was another murder. Ilan Halimi, also 23, also Jewish, was found by a railway track outside Paris with burns and knife wounds all over his body… his uncle reported that they were made to listen to Ilan’s screams as he was being burned while his torturers read out verses from the Quran.

For the most part the media has chosen to ignore those incidents. I wonder why?

Captain’s Quarters has more on this.

Europe, and especially France, is sitting on a time bomb with its growing and insulated Muslim population. We may have already seen the first signs of explosion with the murder of Theo Van Gogh, but his death is not an isolated incident.

Van Gogh was making a documentary on women under Islam.

Recently Nation of Islam minister, Louis Farrakhan, a U.S. resident, gave a speech dubbed ‘the state of the black union speech.’ It was filled with anti-American, anti-Bush, anti-semitic hate. It was a call to violence. It was a call to burn America. As Rush Limbaugh points out on his website, the media is ignoring this racist, hate filled speech.

From Limbaugh’s website, excerpts from the transcript of Farrakhan’s remarks…

America must be burned! America is no good at all… Can’t you open your eyes and see the house is burning?… The house must burn.

Farrakhan continues, referring to the government…

It has to be abolished and something new and better set in its place. You all got to take your government back because it’s been taken from you by a group of smart, crooked industrialist bankers. You all know what I’m talking about.

When Farrakhan says, “industrialist bankers” and “You all know what I’m talking about,” he is referring to the Jews.

As one caller to Rush Limbaugh’s show, familiar with Ku Klux Klan rallies, stated…

I grew up in southeast Louisiana, and my grandfather was a Klansman. And I used to go to these rallies as a young kid, and what I heard you just play was exactly what I heard when I was a kid. There is no difference between Calypso Louie and the Klan. He’s enraging people for hate to go hurt other people.

Farrakhan is trying to enlist black America in his call for violent revolution.

Why would the media ignore such vitriol… such abhorrent violence, racism, and hate?

I think there is a pattern here; the media won’t criticize radicals who might advocate violence or death to those who would dare disagree with them. The media seems to be unwilling to point out their evil ways. This is particularly the case if it is Islam or Muslim or followers of Muhammed. It looks like the Islamofascists, as some have referred to them, are winning the war of intimidation as far as the liberal media is concerned.

There is another possibility. The folks who run these liberal media operations, at whatever level the power may reside, are sympathetic with the cause, the language, the violence, the Jew hating, America hating agenda of these radical barbarians.

Regardless of the motive the media is setting a dangerous precedent. Are we to understand from this that any group which doesn’t like the coverage of the media, should begin burning publishers’ homes, brutalizing journalists, and destroying those outlets that would distribute their reporting? Should groups who don’t like the press start running through neighborhoods slashing and stabbing people to get their way? Does the media and the academic world (itself involved in quashing freedom of expression) want to send the message that all it takes to shut down criticism is a few building burnings, some calls to violence and a couple of death threats, some carried out to make the point?

Does it matter to the media that people are slaughtered, raped, tortured, starved if those victims are Jewish or Christian? Does it only matter if it can be trumped up to harm America? Is it only white people that can be fairly denigrated and maligned and impugned and railed against? What if white people rose up and began to act like the radical barbarians that the media seems so anxious to protect?

Is chaos the desire of the liberal media and the liberal establishment? Are they deluded into thinking if they can create enough chaos they will have an excuse to step in and take over by edict and the world will then be perfect? Are they relishing the fall of America?

Perhaps it’s a combination of all of these.

What they apparently don’t realize is that a liberal agenda and an Islamic agenda are diametrically opposed to each other. But that is a subject for another day.

Pink is making waves with her song “Stupid Girls” which evidently mocks Paris, Jessica, Lindsay and Mary-Kate. As usual, there’s some great truth in the satire. The video is available on the site as well.

Here’s a snip from her MTV interview.

MTV: Everyone’s talking about your parodies of Paris, Jessica, Lindsay and Mary-Kate, but “Stupid Girls” is about more than that, isn’t it?

Pink: People are going to think, “You’re supposed to be a feminist, you’re supposed to be supporting women,” but I just can’t support that, what the majority of these women are doing — or not doing, more like. It’s just this mindless consumer culture, and it’s such a wasted opportunity. Every time I see myself lying on that hospital gurney [in that video] I sort of wince. It’s a $150 billion cosmetic industry, and what does that say about how we feel about ourselves? It’s sort of pushing this image — shop, drink, party, don’t think, shop, don’t think. I just can’t do that.

MTV: Have you read either “Backlash” [by Susan Faludi] or “The Beauty Myth” [by Naomi Wolf]? Together, they basically argue that consumerism acts to divert us. Instead of fighting for women’s rights, we’re fighting to find the perfect shoe.

Pink: Consumerism diverts us from thinking about women’s rights, it stops us from thinking about Iraq, it stops us from thinking about what’s going on in Africa — it stops us from thinking in general. I was brought up to question authority, and thank God for that. There’s a lot of questions. A lot of people are into this escapism thing and don’t want to think, and if you force them to think, you become boring. What can you do? I guess I can make videos. And it goes down a lot easier when it’s funny.

MTV: We’ve gotten so much reader response since the video debuted, from fans who love that you’ve come back, to those who’ve called you a hypocrite for making fun of your fellow celebs and who questioned whether or not your aim is to be half-naked as well.

Pink: I love the discussion that’s going on right now. It’s always nice to be missed, but I don’t feel like I ever really went away. I don’t know where I’d be coming back from. There’s always a backlash when you challenge people’s convictions and their heroes. But I don’t do all this so I can be in Us Weekly every week. I don’t do this so that people think I’m cool. I don’t do it for — it sounds ridiculous — the fame or the money. I have incredible dogs, I have incredible friends, I have a gorgeous husband who loves me. I’m good. I love to sing and put my music out there, and I hope I can always do that. But I’m not going to forsake who I am or my integrity to have these things that I can’t take with me anyway. I never said I was perfect, and I never said anybody else doesn’t have permission to make fun of me for what I do. I’m a walking contradiction. I’m a hypocrite sometimes. I’m a work in progress. But I’m working to be better. I’m seeking out smart people and responsible women, and I’m standing up for animals. I’m not making fun of a certain person, I’m making fun of an idea, and I think they’re missing the point. Sexy doesn’t have to come with the price tag of being dumb.
