Islamophobia

Arabs are making comments as to how "Islamophobia" is spreading over the western world, citing the latest uproar over this Port deal as an prime example.

I do believe they are correct, but for the wrong reasons.

As I sit and watch the news on the lobotomy box (Fred's description) showing film of the rioting, arson and murder being committed by Islamists reportedly over a political cartoon, I am certain I am watching the root cause of this spreading "Islamophobia".

However, when I see a news spot of one of these incidents and see that the rioters are carrying signs in English, I smell the proverbial rat. For all we really know, the angry mob is protesting the rising cost of the camel dung used for cooking fires.

The "rioters" carrying these signs are obviously playing to the American TV audience for reasons we are not privy to. The rioting crowd (demonstratively ignorant beyond comprehension) wouldn't understand what was written on them, and thus become a convenient tool for anti-western propagandists.

News outlets with axes to grind -- or hidden agendas -- could easily have shown the Watts riots along with their associated arson, killings and destruction to third world countries with fabricated explanations that enraged blacks were protesting a proposed literacy requirement for graduation, or something else equally as ludicrous, with the intent to show Americans in the worst light possible.

Never trust what the TV news outlets are telling you. Good subservient men and women all, they do -- and say -- exactly as they are told by their masters.
