Terrorism and the common denominator. Will Political Correctness eventually KILL YOU?

PORTLAND: Somali MUSLIM tries to set off a bomb at a tree lighting ceremony. Once again, a YOUNG MUSLIM MAN attempted to carry out a car bomb attack at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Portland, Oregon yesterday, but the bomb turned out to be a dud supplied by undercover agents as part of a sting. The only problem here was that none of the news media stories identified the perpetrator as a Muslim. And if you are inclined to keep track of things, no stories of any terrorist attacks or attempted attacks ever seem to mention the religion of those involved.  Once in awhile you will read that the terrorists yelled out the Islamic war chant "Allahu Akhkbar" which is Arabic for "God if Great" but the news media NEVER explains that Jihad is a religious war against all non-Muslims. They often mention the terrorist’s name and sometimes where he or she comes from but out of political correctness, never mention the word MUSLIM for fear of embarrassing ALL Muslims. Here are a few examples of news stories that illustrate this point.

KATU – TV News Portland, Oregon.

Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested at 5:40 p.m. just after he dialed a cell phone that he thought would blow up a van laden with explosives but instead brought federal agents and Portland police swooping in to take him into custody.

Mohamud yelled “Allahu Akhkbar” and tried to kick agents and police as the arrest came, according to prosecutors. He was charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.

Shoe bomber: Tale of another failed terrorist attack

The attempted attack on a Northwest Airlines flight Friday fell almost to the day eight years after another failed solo attack on an international flight.

Two months after 19 jihadists hijacked airplanes and flew them into the World Trade Centers, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, Richard Reid (My note: a British convert to Islam) attempted to detonate explosives hidden in his sneakers on an American Airlines flight from Paris, France, to Miami, Florida. Passengers thwarted his plan, and the plane landed safely in Boston, Massachusetts.

Failed terrorist attack on Detroit-bound plane raises new security concerns

WASHINGTON — U.S. counterterrorism officials are scrambling to assess a potential new threat from an explosive mixture that evaded detection aboard a Detroit-bound airliner but failed to bring down the plane.

Multiple law enforcement officials said the suspected attacker — identified as a Nigerian man named Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab — claimed to have acted on instructions from al-Qaida to detonate the explosive device over U.S. soil. The law enforcement officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

Texas businessman settles military food mislabeling case for $15 million

Prosecutors allege that Samir Mahmoud Itani and his company American Grocers Ltd. changed the "use-by" labels on food and sold it to the U.S. military from 2003 to 2006 during the Iraq war.

A Texas businessman has agreed to pay $15 million to settle federal allegations that he and his company cheated the government by selling old and potentially dangerous food to the U.S. military to supply combat troops serving in Iraq and elsewhere.

As the U.S. military presence grew in the Middle East, Itani’s business boomed. American Grocers shipped so much stale merchandise that the company bought paint solvent by the barrel and set up assembly lines to wipe out the old labels to make room for the phony dates, according to the complaint.

++++++++++

In other words, a Muslim sold stale food to the government to be used to feed our troops in a war zone. Was there any motive here to sicken our soldiers in a war zone and to render them incapable of fighting Muslim insurgents? Wouldn’t that also be an act of terrorism?

Taking Political Correctness to the point of absurdity, in England and Australia the police refuse to even describe the race on wanted posters. The Australian news web site Perth Now carries this story>

Police Union angry at 'political correctness gone mad' on naming offenders' race

    by: Anthony DeCeglie and Nicole Cox
    * From: The Sunday Times,  November 27, 2010

POLICE say a ban on using ethnic or religious words to describe offenders is obstructing investigations.

The police union has labelled the policy, a direct order from Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan, as "political correctness gone mad".

Officers can no longer use details such as a suspect's nationality, race or religion when seeking public help.

Instead, they have been told to say if the person is light or dark skinned.

Getting back to my opening story of the failed bomb plot in Portland, Oregon, the politically incorrect web site Sheik Yer Mami points out with perfect vision:

“As they closed in, Mohamud tried to kick at them and yelled “Allahu Akbar!” – Arabic for “God is great!”

But rest assured that this has nothing to do with Islam. He is just a kid who’s got his religion all wrong. The real Islam is peaceful. How do we know that?  Because George W. Bush told us so as quoted on the web site American Rhetoric:”

    The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect.

And with her customary thoroughness, Michelle Malkin documents the most complete list of MUSLIM terrorists on American soil that I have ever found in one place in her article:

Just another bomb-plotting jihadist yelling “Allahu akbar!”
By Michelle Malkin  •  November 27, 2010 09:07 AM

Ho-hum.

If it’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, it’s just another day in the life of a true believer in violent jihad.

Yes: Violent jihad. Two words the current occupant of the White House won’t say together and about which he remains in stubborn denial.

Violent jihad. A fundamental tenet of legions and legions of Muslims worldwide — and untold numbers of homegrown and immigrant practitioners of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage here on American soil.

But first: How many times over the years have we said “It’s the jihad, stupid” as p.c.-addled reality-deniers insist the violent jihadists come from a “broad strata” of society? Too many to count. Flashback:

Just to borrow the names from Michelle Malkin's list of MUSLIM terrorists, which also included their photographs, here is a little reminder of what America is facing today.

• The “broad strata” of 9/11 jihadists.
• The Lackawanna 6
• The paintball jihad sheikh
• The Tar Heel terrorist
• Convicted Lodi jihadi Hamid Hayat
• Convicted NYC bomb plotter Shahawar Matin Siraj
• James Ujaama, pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to provide goods and services to the Taliban in April 2003

FBI terrorists wanted list

• Nidal Hasan, Soldier for Allah and Fort Hood massacre jihadist

• Najibullah Zazi, pleaded guilty to terrorism charges related to his railway bombing plot hatched in Colorado and NYC in February

You may also recall the Portland 7, black Muslim converts convicted in a conspiracy to wage war against the United States, provide material support and resources to Al Qaeda and contribute services to Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

• The latest Portland arrest follows the Times Square bombing plot attempted by Muslim jihadist Faisal Shazhad in May…

• The arrest of Farooque Ahmed in October in the D.C. Metro subway bombing plot:

• And the arrest a year ago of Jordanian Hosam Smadi in a Dallas skyscraper bombing plot:

As Michelle Malkin said: "We’re not the ones who need “stark reminders” about bomb-wielding nuts named “Mohamed” plotting to kill infidels in the name of Allah."

Note the absence of Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Mormons or Mennonites on this list. I love the comment made the other day by a very wise sage. "Because who among us," remarks Kathy Shaidle, "can forget the fateful day when Mennonites drove their horse drawn buggies into the lobbies of the World Trade Center...?"

No, there are no other ethic or religious groups trying to kill us. Just MUSLIMS. With the exception of a small number of American's who converted to Islam, and changed their names, the list is almost all people who immigrated from Muslim countries such as Somalia, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemin, Morocco, Libya and so forth. But we are not allowed to know that each and every one of these would be terrorists was a Muslim. That is also why we must endure such humiliation at our airport security checkpoints that now even includes the examination of Kotex pads worn by women who are menstruating because our government refuses to profile terrorists by their religion or nationality.
