Wall St. Journal Continues “Muslims Are the Real Victims of 9/11” Coverage
As I’ve already noted, every week is “Be Kind to Muslims” week in the media. But this week leading up to the tenth anniversary of 9/11 features a stepped up version in which Muslims–not 3,000 Americans mass-murdered by Muslims–are the real victims. And so it goes with the Wall Street Journal, particularly today.
When you think of all the people whose lives “changed forever” because of the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks, would a widow of a waiter be one of them, merely because she’s Muslim? When you think of all the widows and widowers who lost spouses on 9/11 to Islamic terrorists, would you spotlight out of the thousands, a woman merely because she’s Muslim? Well, that’s what today’s Wall Street Journal does, spotlighting Baraheen Ashrafi, the same Muslim woman whose kids were spotlighted on Monday Night’s Islamo-pandering “Children of 9/11” special. When will the pandering end? When will the “let’s focus on the Muslim ‘victims’ of 9/11” meme end? Never. The fact is, as I’ve noted time and again, 9/11 was the best thing to ever “happen to” Muslims and the best thing ever perpetrated by Muslims. It’s been a PR, immigration, and special rights, treatment, and entitlements boon to Muslims in America. On one of the op-ed pages, today’s Journal also includes an op-ed by the imam of the two-blocks-from-Ground-Zero mosque, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, with the headline, “A Call to All Religious Moderates.” And he clearly considers himself one of them, despite the fact that he, like most American Muslim clerics, refuses to denounce HAMAS and Hezbollah.
HUH?! This is the 9/11 Widow the WSJ Picked to Represent All 9/11 Widows . . .
Today’s Wall Street Journal also asks, on its op-ed page, “9/11: Did the U.S. Overreact?” Huh? The U.S. didn’t react at all, let alone overreact. We didn’t restrict Muslim immigration or any immigration at all. We didn’t end the diversity visa lottery. Instead of cracking down on Islamic terrorism financing, we got rid of the U.S. Customs Service and its successful “Operation Greenquest.” And we dumped all the former Customs agents and INS agents into a giant, missionless agency called ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), taking away all of their authority to investigate terrorists (and signing it over to the Islamo-pandering FBI). Now, ICE barely goes after even illegal aliens and is part of a giant bureaucratic waste of money called the Department of Homeland Security, which is neither committed to the homeland–America–or our security, but is working overtime to make nice with the most extremist Muslims on U.S. soil. So, we didn’t overreact. We didn’t react. We under-reacted. We negatively reacted. It’s a giant black hole net loss.
For the record, the fraud Joe Lieberman claims the “Islamist Extremists Are Losing.” I don’t know what Islamists are because it’s a fraudulent word created and used by cowards who won’t point to Islam and Muslims–the real problems. There is no such thing as this BS, “Islamists.” And FYI, Joe, they ain’t losin’. They’re winning. Anyone who doesn’t see that has his head buried in the sand . . . or in the U.S. Senate. The only spot on response in the Journal symposium is from Mark Helprin, who echoes what I’ve been saying on this site for years: that we should have actually warred against the nations we went into (Iraq and Afghanistan), put in our own pro-U.S. brutal dictators, and then left. And that we should wake up to the fact that there is no “Arab Spring”–no Islamic democracy there. Only Islam. Still, none of that is “reacting” to 9/11. Reacting would have meant the things I outlined on our own shores–tighter borders, stopping Muslim immigration, and cracking down on the Muslim population in our midst. We’ve done none of that and only bent over for them. Backward and forward.

Why are they doing this? What purpose does it serve to islamo-pander? Why do we benefit from having bolder and angrier muslims in our culture? Can’t we see from France, Sweden, etc. that it doesn’t work?
