Jihadi Du Jour: The Media And The Fort Dix Six

Left Works to Change Image of Fort Dix Six
by Sher Zieve

Although I still have difficulty fathoming why the secular Left seems
bent upon suicide-by-proxy, at least it has told us who (if not what)
comprise the members of its substitution group. They are the Islamists.
However, in the case of Islam’s most recent failed attempt to cause an
act of barbarism on US soil, many on the Left seem furious with their
adopted protégés. In statements that appear designed to spur them on
toward accomplishing their terroristic missions, the Left has called the
Islamists “idiots” and “morons” for not actually completing
their massacre mission at Fort Dix, NJ. The popular anarchistic left-wing
site Daily Kos reflects this disdain for the jihadists’ failed plan
to slaughter soldiers stationed at Fort Dix. One of its writers/bloggers
states: “It’s a bit like the Shriners planning to win the Daytona
500 with a clownmobile.” The writer then goes on to compare this
recent Islamist attempt to one planned by the 1970’s militant group the
Weather Underground.

In an attempted attack on Fort Dix, members of this group blew
themselves up prematurely. Perhaps the Daily Kos is not aware of the current
myriad Islamist attack attempts, worldwide, in which the terrorists not
infrequently blow themselves up prematurely. But, the Left has
seldom-to-never been accused of basing its opinions or even news articles on any
discernable coherent facts.

Then, there is the ABC News article titled “The Fort Dix Six
Allegedly Had Bomb Recipes, Made Fun of U.S.”, in which the usual friend of
one of the terrorists is interviewed and says “He was an easy going
guy, someone you enjoyed working with.”—the indication being
‘terrorists can be great guys, too’!

The Courier-Post Online quotes George Strong, a retired William and Mary University professor, as saying the Fort Dix Six are “romanticists.” Do we now have apolitically-correct new word to use for avowed terrorists? Are they no longer to be called what they truly are but, to be referred to as “romantics?” I predict that there will soon be a new ACLU-and-CAIR-fought-for-law that bans the usage of the
word “terrorist” and replaces it with “romanticist.”

Following this same leftist-inspired thought pattern, will the term
‘terrorism’ soon be replaced with ‘love’? The Courier-Post goes on to
extensively quote Chicago Muslim leader Huseyin Abiva as strongly indicating
that the United States is to blame for the Fort Dix mass murder attempt. Huseyin said
that the 1999 American intervention in Serbia is to blame, when he
stated: “A lot of these foreign missionaries [presumably he believes Christian missionaries] and soldiers started propagating this alien interpretation of Islam.”

Huh? First of all, I don’t recall any Christian
clerics being sent to Serbia to “convert” the Muslim population.
Second—to what “alien interpretation of Islam” is Huseyin referring?

With all of the ongoing worldwide terrorist attacks perpetrated by the followers of
Islam, it appears that this political system and religion (neither of
which can be separated from the other) speak for themselves.

In his “style” of continuing to play down any and all Islamist
threats, we have MSNBC’s Uber-leftist Keith Olbermann telling his handful
of viewers on the same day the on-our-soil Islamists were arrested:

“The FBI arrested six morons.” As other leftists, Olbermann seems
genuinely angry that the would-be terrorism plotters did not accomplish
their goal. And, tragically, it’s no surprise that NBC would allow (and
most likely fully support) the seemingly anti-US and pro-terrorist
ideology that Olbermann appears to embrace. The inherent insanity of this sort of
support for enemies of the United States is that should the Islamics
accomplish their stated goal of world domination, leftists will also either
be killed or forced to convert to Islam. Do these leftists hold even
one coherent and rational thought in their collective mind? From their
comments and actions, I think it’s doubtful. However, as they are a
suicidal bunch, perhaps being “offed” is their hope.

The left-wing Democrat propagandists and their media continue to blame
the United States of America for everything that is wrong with the
world. And, of course, President Bush is responsible for all of the
problems—even those that did not occur on or during his watch. But, even
though he’s often the wrong target, President Bush is the easy one to
scapegoat—as he seldom fights them back. However, if the voting,
reading and viewing public continues to allow this never-ending “blame
America first,in the middle and last” mentality—we will very soon be destroyed
from both within and without. It appears that this is what both the Left
and the Islamists are hoping for and working toward.

Do you have any plans to repeat the 2006 midterm results by also
sitting out the 2008 elections?
