Not one Word-Sanitizing Islamic Jihad

Did anyone else sit through that bullshit hour of Greta Van Sustern last night and FOX's continuous vanilla coverage today? OMG, one full hour of Centanni and Wiigs without mentioning the 800lb savage in the room - Islamic Jihad.

These men were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint - a good deed according to the Quran - and not one word of it mentioned? What were they thinking then? Are they Muslims now?

Not one bloody word on the subject. That was a classic moment in American dhimmitude.

Bostom: ”Forced conversions in Islamic history are not exceptional—they have been the norm, across three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—for over 13 centuries.

What should be gleaned from this harrowing Gazan spectacle of non-Muslim journalists being kidnapped, imprisoned for nearly two weeks, and coerced at gunpoint into converting to Islam, while condemning their own societies? We must avoid indulging fantasies (such as those already expressed by the kidnapped Fox reporters upon their release) triggered by understandable Stockholm Syndrome reactions, or learned, fearful dhimmitude. Unsettling realities of the historical continuum of forced conversion to Islam must be discussed. The living Islamic fanaticism of the past cannot be allowed to poison the present (and future), unchallenged by Muslims themselves.

But it wasn't discussed. Nothing of import was discussed. Complete Sanitization. The ugliness of the track suits provided them was discussed. Yes, the unattractiveness of their garb. Some of the pain inflicted, some of the head shoved in the sand .................. but it was like old home week at FOX. Like some long lost episode of the Brady Bunch (more like the Poseidon Adventure.)

It really is depressing. This should be a rallying point, the turning point in public opinion that really shows the hand of jihad as being the imperialistic destroyer of civilizations that it is. The point of their capture wasn't the ransom, wasn't the grievances, but to see whether they could force our people to conversion, and to see how we'd react.

This should rank up there with remember the Maine, remember the Alamo, the Boston Massacre, etc. The "They're nuts they're nuts, they're really nuts" moment.

But it isn't. Thay can walk all over us and we'd do nothing.

The leadership no longer is interested in the protection of the rank & file. With correct-think like this, we're doomed.

I actually thought she would make that a major point..very disappointing, and worse still, if it had been me, the moment I was free I would probably have been so indignant it would have been hard to withold my mouth.
