Or Middle East objectivity and the media
But perhaps the most shocking comments came from Connie Mus, correspondent for the Dutch stations RTL 4 and RTL 5, and for Belgium’s VTM TV, about how wonderful the Saudi authorities are.
Mus was lavish in his praise. “The openness of Saudi officials is amazing,” he gushed. “Saudi Arabia is a breath of fresh air. Officials there understand press freedom unlike the Israelis,” he explained.
He slams the only democracy in the Middle East while singing the praises of a country that funds terrorism on a global scale. “Middle East objectivity and the media” — snort.
UPDATED for news of Fort Hood shooting: Unfortunately the Muslim who went on a murderous rampage is still alive. More Dhimmi journos in the MSM tripping over themselves to NOT mention the murderer’s religion
Read this: Coverage of the Fort Hood Shooting: Hot Air vs. the L.A. Times
Given the above facts, would you be surprised to learn that as of the time of this post, the L.A. Times story on the shooting has no mention of the shooter’s religion, his alleged rants against U.S. involvement in Iraq, his alleged approval of suicide bombings, or the allegations that he was shouting something in Arabic as he shot?
Now, keep in mind my first injunction above. This is a breaking story, and we don’t know for sure what his motivations were. Don’t jump to conclusions. However, I do note that the L.A. Times saw fit to spend a couple of paragraphs talking about suicides at Army bases due to deployments to the war…
Somehow, this is relevant, even though Hasan was never deployed to the war, even once. But his religion? His rants against the war? His desperate attempts to avoid deployment? His alleged shouting in Arabic? His alleged approval of suicide bombings? There is not one word about any of that.
And, of course, a Muslim leader denounces the violence and the shooter, and he admits the problem within Islam…Nah, just kidding. It’s not about Islam, don’t ya know. It’s about Muslims as victims…the backlash, the backlash.

Words cannot express how much I hate islam. This will be a wake up call. No one is buying the shit Obama and the left msm are spewing. Imagine them going on like that jihadist muslim is the victim. I know military, and Obama has just been demoted as commander and chief of the US army.
Exactly — victim, my ass! And I’m with you, Islam has no redeeming qualities. Absolutely the most hateful, exclusionary, misogynistic religion ever.
Not to take traffic away from you Natasha, but over at Jihad watch they’ve got all the skinny as it continues to unfold.
When this hit the news last night, all I kept thinking of was the islamists shooting back in June at a Little Rock recruiting station. The news soon proved my suspicions correct.
And as expected, the downplay by Dhimmi Prez Obama, CAIR playing the victim card, and MSMs pussyfootin’ around saying “muslim” because you don’t want to set another one off.
Expectedly, it was talked about on BBC Radio, but one person emailed in what really needed to be said to all those who cry foul at calling this a crime committed by a “muslim” by stating that the MSMs have never had a problem stating the religion of the parties involved during the Irish sectarian violence, so why give this murderer special treatment.
No problem, Kaffir. I’ll be checking them out. I’ve been kind of busy with about three different projects and kind of set aside following some of the news.
I love how the dhimmi press is trying to lay blame on the victims et al in the military, saying the guy was bullied — WTF?? Was he a sensitive little child who couldn’t take it? A load of crap!
Note: Bruce Bawer wrote an article here about it, slamming the MSM:
Fort Hood Massacre: A Day of Courage and Cowardice
Why the hell was this guy in the U.S. military? See video here.
Natasha, have you seen this squalid little dhimmi item:

Yep, I’m following it on Twitter right now. Some are saying the killer is a Muslim convert; another said that Fox News was talking to a friend or relative of the killer who said it wasn’t true, said the killer was always Muslim.
And a quote from here: Local soldier: Fort Hood shooting ‘a bloody mess’
“They were telling him that one guy was shouting something in Arabic while he was shooting,” Tom Hunt said. “He couldn’t say much more than that.”
“Not a Convert”
