They’re not Muslim Murderers. They’re “Exotic Immigrants.”
I don’t think I need to repeat the particulars regarding the Canadian Muslims found guilty, yesterday, of murdering three daughters and one of the wives in the polygamous Islamic family in an honor killing. Canadian media have covered it for months, repeatedly making excuses for the “family” and usually refraining from the one common thing that unites most honor killers: they are Muslim. But what is jaw-dropping (but which I should be used to by now in over ten years of this BS) is today’s Wall Street Journal exercise in apologism that parades as “reporting” by Alistair MacDonald.

Sly Mohammad & the Family Shafia’s Family (Honor Killing) Affair: Kingston Trio of Convicted Murderers Tooba Mohammad Yahya, Hamed Shafia, and Mohammad Shafia
Mr. MacDonald only once mentions the word Muslim (and never Islam), and only when he is repeating the name of an organization from one of the many apologists whose excuses he reprints: that these Afghan “immigrants” were found guilty because they are “exotic” immigrants. And that’s only in the online edition. In the same article in the print edition of today’s Wall Street Journal, Islam and Muslim are words that simply never appear in the article. And in both version of the article, MacDonald never once alludes to the religion that has cornered the market on honor killing murders. He repeatedly makes excuses and uses the euphemism “immigrants” for Muslims as a way of explaining away what is obviously not common to most immigrants unless they are Muslim. He talks about how there have only been 15 honor killing convictions in Canada since 1954, as if this means there aren’t a lot of honor killings. Uh-huh, because Muslims never ever get away with crimes. They never cover up what was in fact an honor killing, trying to make it look like something else when they get caught.
MacDonald refers to the murdered first wife of the polygamous, honor-killing patriarch in this family, but refused to mention which religion it is that both has many wives and engages in honor killing. Is it Wicca? Shintoism? Yup, it’s another case of “Guess the Religion.” But, because, the answer is so obvious, you don’t win a prize. In fact, the prize seems to go to the “reporter” who tries hardest to avoid reporting on Islam when it is behind anything but positive PR spun from phoniness. And today’s prize goes to Old MacDonald, who sadly isn’t relegated to the farm, but instead gets to “report” and whitewash Islam for the Wall Street Journal.
Here is the article. Tell me if you see the word Islam, Muslim, or any form thereof, other than in the last sentence (where, again, it is only the name of an organization of apologist jihadists). And tell me the number of excuses you can count (hint: more than the fingers on your hands). Oh, and check out his cute little definition of “integration”: homeownership and speaking English. Huh? Nidal Malik Hasan and Mohammed Atta spoke English and either one of ’em could have owned a home. This is “integration?” Frickin’ hilarious. Here’s a hint: if you have several wives and murder your own daughters for dating “unapproved boyfriends,” you ain’t integrated.
A Canadian court found two Afghan immigrant parents and their eldest son guilty of murdering four female family members in a so-called honor killing Sunday, the climax of a case that’s transfixed Canada and sparked a wider debate about clashing cultures amid the country’s large immigrant population.
Mohammad Shafia, his wife, Tooba Mohammad Yahya, and eldest son, Hamed, were found guilty of killing Mr. Shafia’s three teenage daughters and Mr. Shafia’s first wife in an elaborately staged, though ultimately bungled, car accident in June 2009. The defense argued the four died after a late-night joy ride went awry. Read the rest of this entry »
