#9 This is but one small part of what needs to be a concerted international effort to expose and dismantle the Islamic propaganda machine. Ahmed Abu Laban's purposeful inclusion of inflammatory images wholly unrelated to cartoons published by Jyllands Posten went almost entirely unreported despite the central role they played in escalating falsely incited Muslim outrage.
The routine distortions and outright lies utilized by Islamic media outlets makes our own traitorous mainstream media wankers look like a troop of boy scouts. One need look no further than Iran to understand the immense importance of contrived stories and agitating rhetoric. Ahmadinejad's albeit waning popularity is sustained almost entirely by such blatant manipulation.
Both Israel and especially America have demonstrated a fundamental lack of awareness regarding the damage done by not deconstructing Islamic propaganda. Kitman and taqiyya predominate amongst the tools used by Muslims to falsely portray themselves as victims. The Soviet Union's use of disinformation and slanted reporting long ago should have taught the West whatever lessons were needed.
Instead, we continue to allow Islamic treachery and deceit to bias world opinion against Western culture. However gullible American liberals might be, the fact remains that their unwholesome regard for Islam is driven in part by a near total lack of counterattack upon the lies they are fed. Republicans demonstrate a stunning degree of naiveté in their flaccid response to these otherwise persuasive tools. Particularly so in light of how easy such a task is of exposing the baldfaced lies and flagrant mistruths being bandied about as accepted fact.
A republican victory in 2009 is almost entirely dependent upon overcoming their own needless reluctance to begin challenging these media-borne assaults upon fact based public opinion. Hillary Clinton's incredibly flawed and borderline communist agenda needs to be crushed beneath an avalanche of well-reasoned refutation and logical alternatives. The same goes for Islamic propaganda as both of them serve an equally anti-American platform. |
