ABC News' rabid efforts to appease Islam

Seems like ABC News is ramping up their efforts toward appeasing Islam. Two slanted programs by two of their their rising stars within three days are beginning to show how biased the news really is. First, Diane Sawyer on the ABC News special 20/20 report on Islam, which aired Friday night, presented an hour of sugar-coated answers to some serious questions raised by concerned Americans.

The common thread that Sawyer wove throughout the program was that Muslims in America want to be just like everyone else. Absent from the program was any real discussion on the hundreds of passages in the Koran calling for hate and killing and conquest. Nothing was mentioned about the scores of Islamic Clerics imported to our shores to spread this doctrine of insurrection in the mosques that are popping up like weeds across the country. See my examples in And what about the mosques? Follow-up to my fear about Islam post. posted Thursday, August 19, 2010.

Take a look at the following map prepared by the Investigative Project on Terrorism that shows the location of mosques across America involved in known criminal terrorist activity.

There is an interactive version of this map found on this link: http://www.investigativeproject.org/maps/terrorism-map.php

Just 100 miles north of here just outside Columbus, Ohio is the American Islamic Waqf Noor Islamic Cultural Center mosque in Dublin, Ohio which has been the location for numerous radical Muslim affairs. See the details in Central Ohioans Against Terrorism web site.

The only thing necessary to convert peace-loving Muslims into radical Muslims is for some Iman to remind them of their obligation to follow every command contained in the Qur'an.  And recent polls have shown that more than 25% of young Muslims in America see nothing wrong with terrorist activity. The majority of mosques in America have been financed by Saudi Arabia and those financial arrangements all contain conditions that those mosques will include Wahhabi textbook materials that condemn Western Culture and our form of government. According to the basic teachings of Islam, all governments must follow Islamic Sharia Law, the most barbaric, uncivilized form of rule.

It became obvious the intent was to portray Muslims in America as just another group of patriotic citizens who don’t like being to being asked to apologize for the 19 Muslims who hijacked four airliners and killed 3000 people on 9-11-2001.

Sawyer ended her show Friday night with a plug for a continuation of the coverage by Christiane Amanpour on her show This Week With Christiane Amanpour on Sunday.  On Sunday ABC News decided to air a pre-recorded and edited special “This Week” town hall debate, entitled “Holy War: Should Americans Fear Islam?” Christiane Amanpour promised: “We air the issue from all sides.” As reported on the web site Newbusters “In her intro, Amanpour betrayed the favor of what was to come:  The majority of American Muslims say they see no clash between their Islamic faith and American values, yet, across the United States, Muslim Americans have been the target of hate crimes.”

Newsbusters pointed out that “The last word of the hour went to GZM’s (Ground Zero Mosque) Daisy Khan. Amanpour wondered: “When you listen to all of this, do you think that you should move the center?” Khan insisted she’s fighting for apple pie: “No. I think that American values have to prevail. I’m now fighting for American values.” Amanpour: “On that note, I thank you both, all of you very much indeed for being here.”

Typical of her unbiased professional journalist objectivity, Christiane Amanpour asked Gary Bauer about the vandalism at the site of a proposed mosque in Tennessee, Amanpour said: “After some of the loaded things that have been said, and we can play you any number of tapes, Mr. Bauer. Do you take any responsibility at all for, for instance, what happened in Murfreesboro?” Bauer was incredulous: “Are you serious?”

Another exchange on This Week with Christiane Amanpour, Amanpour asked, “I want to now though go to Anjem Choudary in London. You have said that you think there should be Islamic domination. Why shouldn't people be afraid of that?” “You see, Reverend Graham says you're telling the truth, so do you agree with Reverend Graham and our panelists on this side that Americans should fear Islam?”

[Anjem Choudary replied : "We do believe as Muslims the east and the west will one day be governed by the Sharia and do believe one day the flag of Islam will fly over the White House."]

As Bare Naked Islam reminds us: "Leave it to Christiane Amanpour to feature an infamous British Muslim leader, Anjem Choudary, who has also said, “Buckingham Palace will be come a Grand Mosque and the Queen must convert to Islam.”

Why people should fear Islam can best be answered by listening to what Islamic Muslim Clerics say in their own words. On the Arab Muslim web site MEMRI-TV, Saudi Cleric Muhammad Al-Arifi:  "The Desire to Shed Blood, Smash Skulls, and Sever Limbs for the Sake of Allah Is an Honor for the Believer...."

As Pamela Geller said today on her web site Atlas Shrugs:

"Earlier today on Christiane Amanpour’s abhorrent offering to Islam, we were subjected to Daisy Khan making fun of Ayaan Hirsi Ali for having to havesecurity guards. Daisy the con claimed that she too received threats, but she wouldn’t have guards because “this was America,” and she didn’t want to cost the taxpayer money. Why would we pick up her tab? The taxpayer doesn’t pay Wafa Sultan’s tab or Molly Norris’s witness protection tab or my tab or Spencer’s or Ibn Warraq’s. Why hers, if there really had been a threat?

Color me skeptical. I don’t believe she has received credible threats (neither do I. Read it all, here: Mosquerade)"
