True North

What can we expect from a state-chartered school that mandates praying to Muhammad, has a catchy soothing title like Tarek ibn Ziyad on the side of its building and teaches the peace-loving religion of the Koran to its hijab-clad students? That's what one metro-area news outlet wanted to know when it dared to take pictures of the Muslim academy in Inver Grove Heights. Here's what they found: you can expect its director to come out and rip the camera out of your hands as you and your reporter get jacked up by his two bodyguards all the while oblivious to the dozens of kids who get to see first-hand how to properly treat dhimmis.

This warm, loving exhibition of Islam was aired tonight by KARE11 reporter Scott Goldberg, who was there at Tarek-whatever-whatever watching as his brothers-in-arms from KSTP5 were being affectionately mentored in the nuanced intracicies of Sharia. But did this reporter remonstrate with the same alarm and offense he would have if the brawl had occured at some Christian home-school? And did the anchors offer the same offended eyebrows or glib head shakes normally reserved for cigarette-smoking bar actors? No. They gave the smackdown a scant 10-seconds notice, uncharacteristically rejected the typical "ISLAMIC STORM-TROOPERS ATTACK" chyron and certainly weren't going to expend the resources to investigate further. Not when they can go after Catholics.

In the Muslim world, the mosque is the government. That's why this religion should be fair game for analysis and rebuke, just like our authorities. Yet Islam is untouchable...so far.

I can't help but think I caught something tonight. A flicker of horror perhaps in the eyes of the Personalities (if I had access to a slow-motion camera). A subconcious realization of what Sharia law would look like if the media were to continue in its Chamberlainian-denial. Then again, it's going to be these secular anti-family promiscuous lefties that will get jihaded first. It would be silly not let them be the speed bumps if that's what they really want.
