Where's the outrage?

While our alert American media and loyal opposition for the sake of opposition party hounds Dick Cheney about an accidnet that will not affect any American’s life - other than the two principals and their families, the world remains awash with real dangers that go unreported. Our heroes in the MSM by-and-large won’t print the cartoons that have caused such a stir among Islamo-terror-fascists looking for an excuse to practice their trade. But as of a couple of days ago the MSM has breathed new life into the Abu Ghraib story. They are now publishing un-before publicized pictures which are sure to put Americans at risk in war zones but unlike printing the cartoons are unlikely to expose the cowards in the MSM to any problems with the ITF.

AF Bro asks the question, why aren’t “mainstream” Muslims screaming? AF Bro sends:

“We wake up this morning to see video on CNN showing rampaging Muslims around the world. In Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific Rim ... Muslim Mobs spreading mayhem. It seems that these mighty mad Muslims are rioting and firing their ever-present AK-47s into the air because of cartoons.

“Yup ...this latest epidemic of Muslim outrage comes to us because some newspapers in Norway and Denmark published some cartoons depicting Mohammed....in one of them as having a turban that looks like a bomb.

“Muslim outrage huh. OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:

“a.. Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage.

“b.. Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage.

“c.. Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to a Christian school in Indonesia. No Muslim outrage.

“d.. Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage.

“e.. Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage.

“f.. A Muslim attacks a missionary children's school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage.

“g.. Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage.

“h.. Let's go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage.

“i.. Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage.

“j.. Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage.

“k.. Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage.

“l.. Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage.

“m.. Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage.

“n.. Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage.

“o.. Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage.

“p.. Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.

“Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage ... but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb for a turban and all hell breaks loose.

“Get real. This isn't about cartoons. Muslims are rampaging and burning flags....looking for Europeans to kidnap....threatening innkeepers and generally raising holy Muslim hell NOT because of a cartoon. They're outraged because it is part of the Islamic jihadist culture to be outraged.

“They don't need a reason. THEY JUST NEED AN EXCUSE. Wandering around, destroying property, murdering children, firing guns into the air and feigning outrage over the slightest perceived insult is to a jihadist what tailgating is to a Steeler's fan.
“We know and understand that these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims. BUT WHEN WILL THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD'S MUSLIMS BECOME OUTRAGED? When will THEY take to the streets to express their outrage at the radicals who are making their religion the object of worldwide hatred and ridicule?

“Islamic writer Salman Rushdie wrote of these silent Muslims in a New York Times article three years ago. "As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical reflection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming?"

“And I pass the question on. Why indeed are they not screaming?”
