Hiding the Threat

The mainstream media will lie, misrepresent and omit information in order to craft a narrative that meets their world view. The New York Times is desperately trying to prevent its readers from drawing any association between Islam and the acts of terrorism committed by Islamists. They don't want to acknowledge that these terrorists are motivated by their religion. They don't want you to know the truth. Why would you ever trust the New York Times or any other mainstream media outlet? You have to look at multiple sources and exercise critical thinking skills to really know what is happening.

Why does the New York Times feel it is necessary to hide this very important fact about the Charlie Hebdo terror attack? Well, they are progressives and leftists. These people are driven by their ideology. The problem is that their ideology is more of a cult-like religious belief than an organized system of ideas that is informed by facts and logic. These leftists have certain beliefs that they follow unquestioningly. They don't allow little distractions like facts and history to sway them from their beliefs. They are more than willing to lie and obfuscate in order to further their beliefs. They will advance their ideology by any means necessary.

The leftists have an established belief that western civilization and Christianity are fundamentally bad and that they are responsible for all the ills that are suffered by the rest of the world. Muslims are considered to be victims of Christianity and western imperialism. Because of this narrative, leftists feel they must protect Muslims. Leftists are arrogant elitists with a completely undeserved sense of intellectual and moral superiority. They feel that they are the only ones who can help and protect these 'victims'. And they will do whatever is necessary to protect this 'victim' culture. If that means lying to the readers of their newspaper, then so be it. These leftists don't care about reality; only the narrative they have created. They don't care if their lies put the lives of westerners in danger. The leftist easily justify that because they think that westerners are responsible for all the bad in the world.

UPDATE

Vox tries to tell us it’s not about Islam

Vox's Ezra Klein, progressive media wunderkind, does some of that newsplaining about the Charlie Hebdo terror attack. It seems it wasn't terrorism and it had nothing to do with Islam*. Just a random murder by a sick mind. Actually it wasn't random. Police and experts are saying it showed a degree of planning. Oh yeah, and it wasn't just some crazy nut. It was three crazy nuts working concert; premeditated and executing a plan and screaming Allahu akbar. But other than that it was just a random act of violence. You know; like that random workplace violence at Ft. Hood.

And remember, it’s a tragedy and a crime; not a statement or a controversy.

Let me explain this to you, Ezra. Every time an Islamist recites the Takbir as he saws off a head, rapes a prisoner, pulls a trigger or detonates a bomb, he is saying that his god is greatest.  That is a statement of supremacy. There is a reason why Islamists say this as they are subjugating, brutalizing and killing their enemies. They are kafir-infidels. Kafir don't have rights under sharia. Kafir must be subjugated, forced to convert or killed. That was the word of the prophet.

Thank God we have really smart journalists who can explain the news to us rubes who are too stupid to figure things out for ourselves.
