Airstrip One has a few comments on the EU's political correctitude regarding our Muslim brothers and sisters. Well, cousins, anyway.This should send a shiver up our spines. British media promotes Islamophobia, says EU. They what? There have been lies about Islam spread by our newspapers, but that usually involves claiming that a religion spread almost entirely by the force of arms is somehow "peaceful"...
The really worrying piece is that this is not from some sort of "worthy" pressure group, but from the European Union. Further European integration won't just mean innapropriate interest rates or identity cards, but muzzling the press as well. Lenny Bruce once said that "What is, is what is. What should be is a dirty lie."
Followup: Emily Jones picks up the same item:A high ranking EU official urged members of the media and community at large to render their complicit xenophobia to more traditional forms of bigotry, like anti-semitism. "Why attack or castigate a Muslim when you can burn down an entire synagogue?", the gentleman was heard to comment.*
*I made that up. But that doesn't mean it's not true. And Christopher Johnson has it at MCJ... And Bill Quick takes two whacks at the pinata of dumb... |
