Media working hard to scrub the 'M' (MUSLIM) Word from their reporting on the attempted airline terrorist attack

AP also couldn’t find space in its 1,100-word report to tell us that many passengers claimed to have heard the suspect “screaming about Afghanistan” during the ordeal.

In fact you’d be hard pressed to find any media (outside the blogosphere) making reference to what is obviously a MUSLIM ATTACK, most likely in deference to our MUSLIM President.

It has been interesting watching the Associated Press reports on the attempted takedown of Flight 253 devolve in the past 12-plus hours. In its 8:56 a.m. report (likely dynamic and subject to change), it looks like the assemblage of AP writers who worked on the story have succeeded in:

• As Mark Finkelstein at NewsBusters noted earlier this morning in the case of the New York Times, ridding the report of the M-word (“Muslim”).
• Minimizing to nearly zero the possible relevance of the suspect’s home country of residence and of the possibility that he might be affiliated with what one publication refers to as the “Nigerian Taliban.”

The wire service’s 11:04 p.m. report (not linked, as original was revised by AP), had this to say about the relevance of Nigeria in its 23rd paragraph of 26:

“In 2003, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden marked Nigeria for liberation in a recording posted on the internet, calling MUSLIMS in the oil-rich country to rise up against one of the regimes who are slaves to America.”

At least it has the M-word, and at least it seems to imply that Nigeria might have some current AQ activity.

That verbiage remained but went to the second-last paragraph of the 3:07 a.m. version of the report (linked, but may change), but disappeared without replacement from the 3:54 a.m. dispatch. The 8:56 a.m. report also has no text discussing circumstances in Nigeria, and has been purged of the M-word.

Kaney Obaji Ori at Afrik.com lays out the relevance in the final four paragraphs of his update on the incident

The Nigerian Diaspora have meanwhile expressed disappointment and concern over the susceptibility of al-Qaeda sleeper cells amongst predominantly Northern Muslim Nigerians.The Nigerian Taliban known as Boko Haram, an anti-western extremist Muslim group that sprung up in Northern Nigeria in July and threatened state civility in Nigeria were armed with machetes, knives, home-made hunting rifles and petrol bombs.

The group went on rampage in several states across Northern Nigeria, attacking churches, police stations, prisons and government buildings, and demanding sharia law for all Nigeria as opposed to democratic western-styled education and ideals.

After the sects uprising in northern Nigeria, many beheaded bodies were found in the sect’s headquarters, including at least three Christian preachers and the second in command of the military operation. Hundreds of sect members were also killed by Nigerian security forces in a major clampdown to dismantle the sect. Over 700 deaths related to the violence was (sic) reported.

The presence of an al-Qaeda branch operating across the Sahara Desert in Mauritania, Morocco, Mali and Niger and Nigeria’s porous borders was confirmed when a report submitted to top government officials in 2007 had identified and classified the Boko Haram sect as a “murderous religious group” that had been train by the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat. State Security Service of Nigeria stated that “the group was linked to Al Qaeda through some of its members including Barah Abdul and Mohamed Al-Amin who were in Afghanistan and have strong links with some Al Qaeda leaders”.

After the July violence, during which Boko Haram leader Mallam Mohammed Yusuf was killed, the groupdeclared total jihad (HT Jihad Watch):

The Islamic sect Boko Haram has declared total Jihad in Nigeria, threatening to Islamise the entire nation by force of war.

In a statement dated August 9, 2009, …. the sect whose activities led to the lost of hundreds of lives in northern Nigeria recently declared that their leader Yusuf who was killed in controversial circumstances during the crisis, lives forever.

In what looked like a declaration of war on the rest of the nation, the Boko Haram sect said it will unleash terror in Southern Nigeria this August, beginning with the bombing of Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu to make good its words.

The group’s statement also says that “We support Osama bin Laden, we shall carry out his command in Nigeria until the country is totally Islamised which is according to the wish of Allah.” NEWSBUSTERS

MUSLIM KILL COMMANDS

MUHAMMAD taught Muslims to kill Jews.

Sahih Bukhari Hadith Narrated by ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: Allah’s Apostle said, “You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, ‘O ‘Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.’” Sahih Bukhari Hadith Narrated by Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”

MUHAMMAD taught Muslims to kill non-Muslims.

Qur’an 2:191: And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.

MUHAMMAD taught Muslims to kill people who left Islam.

Qur’an 4:089: They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah’s way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

MUHAMMAD taught Muslims to kill people they did not trust.

Qur’an 4:09: You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given you a clear authority.

MUHAMMAD taught Muslims to kill people they thought to be idolaters.

Qur’an 9:005: So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

MUHAMMAD taught Muslims to kill people if they thought it was a just cause.

Qur’an 17:033: And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he is aided.

Note: Killing is the major unspoken pillar of Islam. This explains why there are Muslims who are making bombs and detonating them as you read this. Civilized governments must be proactive and preemptive in their response to international Muslim terrorism. Appeasement of Islam will drive the world into World War III just as appeasement of Hitler resulted in World War II. Is your government pacifying the Muslim menace? How many more innocent victims of Muslim terrorism will there be?

Father of MUSLIM TERRORIST suspect warned the U.S. about his son 6 months ago

A source close to the dad said he was shocked that his son was allowed to travel to this country after he’d reported his extreme views.

And what did we do about it? NOTHING. Welcome to the OBAMA MUSLIM terroist-friendly America.

The father of the al Qaeda terrorist behind Friday’s attempted explosion aboard a Northwest flight bound for Detroit reported his son’s fanatical religious views to the U.S. Embassy six months ago, according to a Nigerian news outlet.

The young man, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, is the son of Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a former Nigerian minister and bank chairman. He became wary of his son’s religious beliefs and reported his activities to the U.S. Embassy as well as Nigerian security services half a year ago, according to the Nigerian newspaper This Day.

The elder Mutallab had left his home in Katsina today, a city in Northern Nigeria, to speak with security agencies, the site reported, quoting family sources. He said his son left London to travel, though he did not know where to. “I believe he might have been to Yemen, but we are investigating to determine that,” he says.

AIRLINE BOMBER WAS ON TERRORIST TIES LIST FOR 2 YEARS

TERROR HERO: I DIDN’T HESITATE

AL-QAEDA LINK IN FAILED PLANE ATTACK

The bungling bomber is an engineering student at the University College, London, and is known to have preached Islamic teachings while in high school, where he was called “Alfa,” which is slang for Islamic scholar.

After enrolling at the University College in London, Mutallab relocated to Egypt and then Dubai, where he told his family that he no longer wanted contact with them, the site reported.

The would-be jihadist smuggled explosive powder onto the plane, which had originated in Amsterdam, and tried to detonate it as the airliner descended into Detroit. As the crew prepared to land, Mutallab emerged from the bathroom with a pillow over his stomach and then began mixing chemicals in a syringe.

However the device misfired and began spewing smoke and flames, setting Mutallab’s legs on fire. Heroic passengers sprayed him down with water and fire extinguishers, restrained him, trapped him in a headlock, and dragged him to the front of the plane. NY POST

WTF? In the wake of an attempted MUSLIM terrorist attack, airlines issue new security rules for passengers: “Don’t leave your seat”

Airlines were telling passengers on Saturday that new government security regulations prohibit them from leaving their seats beginning an hour before landing. (DOES THIS INCLUDE LEAVING YOUR SEAT TO STOP A TERRORIST FROM BLOWING UP THE PLANE?)

The regulations are a response to a suspected terrorism incident on Christmas Day. New rules imposed by the Transportation Security Administration limit on-board activities by passengers and crew in U.S. airspace. The airline said that during the final hour of flight passengers must remain seated. They won’t be allowed access to carryon baggage or to have any items on their laps. Chicago Tribune

MUSLIM TERRORIST airline bomber was banned from Britain earlier this year.

The radical MUSLIM son of a prominent Nigerian banker, who allegedly attempted to blow up a transatlantic flight over America, was barred from returning to Britain earlier this year. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, graduated from a university in London last year but his visa request was refused in May when he attempted to apply for a new course at a bogus college.

Abdulmutallab, described as a devout Muslim, attempted to ignite an explosive device on a plane from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day after shouting about Afghanistan.Bomb materials had apparently been sewn into his underwear, an authoritative American report said.

The incident led to increased security at UK airports and delays of up to five hours for passengers in Britain yesterday.

For the past two years Abdulmutallab has been on a United States watchlist for people known to have extremist links, but he was not prevented from flying to America. UK officials indicated that he had passed across MI5’s radar but was not deemed sufficiently threatening to warrant surveillance. TIMES ONLINE
