NYT & MSM CARRYING H20 FOR HLF

COUNTERTERRORISM BLOG/STEVE EMERSON:

Yesterday, jury selection began in the largest terrorism financing case in U.S. history, against alleged Hamas-front group, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF).

Yesterday also witnessed the launch of the defense’s public strategy, a dual-track approach consisting of self-appointed Muslim leaders (in this instance, many are implicated in the case themselves, as the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator), and some in the media, claiming the prosecution is “Islamophobic,” while family members of the defendants wrap themselves in the American flag.

In today’s New York Times, Neil MacFarquhar, parroting the tactic of Islamist organizations like CAIR and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), pretends to speak for all American Muslims, writing:

For American Muslims, whose religion stipulates that they give 2.5 percent of their annual income to charity, the shuttering of so many of their organizations without a hearing smacks of discrimination.

No attempt is even made to qualify that statement with a “some," "many" or even a "most” – apparently MacFarquhar knows how all American Muslims feel. Much of his article serves as apologia for the defendants, as well.

THE NYTIMES AND THEIR COMRADES IN THE MSM WOULD RATHER THE TERROR SUPPORTING CRIMINALS OF THE HLF GO FREE THAN BUSH HAVE A SMALL VICTORY IN THE GWOT.

THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE HLF IS NO DIFFERENT THEN THEIR OPPOSITION TO RENDITION, THE NSA INTERCEPTS PROGRAM AND THE SWIFT PROGRAM.

THEY ARE SACRIFICING OUR SAFETY FOR THEIR PARTISAN GAIN. AND THEIR PARTISAN AGENDA IS LEFTIST. AND APPEASING.

THEY ARE TRAITORS. THE HLF AND HAMAS ARE OUR ENEMIES; THE NYTIMES AIDS AND ABETS THEM. THEY ARE TRAITORS.
