British Christian minister beaten after clash with Muslim on TV show
Topics: Political News and commentariesOf course The Daily Mail calls the attackers "A group of "Asian" men" - who slapped him, punched him, pulled his hair, and threatened him after the debate. What is it about the liberal media that causes them to refuse to use the "M" word in placing blame where it squarely belongs when it has to do with the actions of radical Islamists? As Tony Blankley wrote back in 2006:
Denial is an often useful innate human trait. Few of us would be able to function in the present if we did not put out of mind many unpleasant realities -- such as our inevitable death. The Woody Allen character in the movie "Annie Hall" stated the comic extreme version of not using the denial mechanism when, as a child he refused to do his homework because in 5 billion years the sun would explode, "so, what's the use?" But when a person, or a society, denies emerging or imminent dangers, the peace of mind it gains will be extremely short term, while the harm may be sustained or fatal. Most of the world today not only is in denial concerning the truly appalling likely consequences of the rise of radical Islam, it often refuses to even accept unambiguous evidence of its existence."When a person, or a society, denies emerging or imminent dangers, the peace of mind it gains will be extremely short term, while the harm may be sustained or fatal." Given the continuance of politicians and the media remaining in denial, this is going to be the case with Western society unless we demand otherwise.
