On The MSM's 'Broad Strata Of Society': Think Not - It's Jihad, Stupid!!!

Topics: Understanding Islam

Canada police officials refer to the terrorists arrested in Canada as coming "from a broad strata of society" - God forbid they should call it like it is and use the M-word :

The Canadian Islamic terrorists are from the same "broad strata" of society that these guys came from:

[The "broad strata" of 9/11 jihadists. (Photoshop - David Lunde)]


[Wives of the accused Canadian jihadis - not your everyday non-Islamist dress, perhaps a hint of less-than so broad a strata? (ht - Michelle Malkin]

"Fahim Ahmad, Zakaria Amara, Asad Ansari, Shareef Abdelhaleen, Qayyum Abdul Jamal, Mohammed Dirie, Yasim Abdi Mohamed, Amin Mohamed Durrani, Steven Vikash Chand alias Abdul Shakur, Ahmad Mustafa Ghany and Saad Khalid". Just a cursory check shows there's not an Ohara, Smith, or Isaacson among them.

When 4 out of the 11 of the released names have "abdul/abdel/abdi" in them, 2 Ahmads, 2 Saads, and 3 Mohammeds, it sends one of two messages to readers. The first is "we think you're stupid and can't figure out the common thread these suspects have in common"; the second is that "we in the media are stupid and can't figure out the common thread these suspects have in common."

From Michelle Malkin, who says that we are living on a doomed continent of ostriches:

(...) Undeterred by the obvious, Toronto police chief Bill Blair assured the public that the Muslim suspects "were motivated by an ideology based on politics, hatred, and terrorism, and not on faith...I am not aware of any mosques that these individuals were influenced by." Well, Chief Blindspot, try the Al-Rahman Islamic Center for Islamic Education. That's the Canadian storefront mosque where eldest jihadi suspect Qayyum Abdul Jamal is, according to his own lawyer, a prayer leader and active member -- along with many of the other Muslim males arrested in the sweep.

(...) Canadian law enforcement officials should be proud of busting a reputed Islamic terrorist network that may span seven nations. Instead, our northern neighbors are trying their damnedest to whitewash the jihadi ties that bind the accused plotters and their murder-minded peers around the world.

Catch all of her article here... and see more of the images on the West's continuing denial of the nature of the threat we face.

Big Hat Tip to Jihad Watch.
