Media Spin

Are you kidding me? This is how this actually appears as a News Story:


PITT SHOCKED BY ANTI-AMERICAN ATTITUDE

BRAD PITT discovered how unpopular America is across the globe when a group of drunk Dutchmen threatened to kill him because of his nationality. Pitt ran into the partygoers while he was in Amsterdam shooting OCEAN'S TWELVE, and the incident shocked him. He says, "I get a bike wherever I go and I went for a midnight ride around Amsterdam. There were some guys coming out of a bar having a good time. I said, 'Excuse me,' and swerved out of the way and they started screaming, 'You f**king American. We'll f**king kill you.' "I'd never come face to face with that before - that turn in the way we are perceived in other countries."


So, some drunks call Pitt a "f**king American", so all the countries hate the US? Are you kidding me? Go ahead and try to tell me that this isn't the media trying to influence mind sets by banking on people either only reading the headline, or not being smart enough to cut through the crap.

I can get called a derogatory comment, and have my life threatened if I go to any of the local bars here, does that mean that all of America hates America too? No, it means drunks are stupid, and so is the media.

Finally, some one telling a Muslim to shut up

Here is a news story about a Muslim leader in Australia who was finally told to shut up. Read the whole article here, or read the excerpts below.

I'd like to see the feminists step up on this one.



In a Ramadam sermon in a Sydney mosque, Sheik al-Hilali suggested that a group of Muslim men recently jailed for many years for gang rapes were not entirely to blame.

Sorry, pal. In a rape, only the rapist is to blame. Ever.

There were women, he said, who 'sway suggestively' and wore make-up and immodest dress "and then you get a judge without mercy and gives you 65 years, but the problem all began with who?" he said, referring to the women victims.

Without mercy? Where's the mercy in Muslims cutting off heads? Where's the mercy in treating your women less than dogs? The punishment of adultery in Muslim Culture is stoning to death, or the family of the husband raping the woman. Where's the mercy in that?

Addressing 500 worshippers on the topic of adultery, Sheik al-Hilali added: "If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it...whose fault is it - the cats or the uncovered meat?

"The uncovered meat is the problem."

Too bad humans are not cats. We have a free will and do as we wish. These men wished to rape her, so they did.

He went on: "If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab (veil), no problem would have occurred."

Women, he said, were 'weapons' used by Satan to control men.

He will probably be deported back to Egypt, only to be treated like a king once there, and I'm sure the Muslim nut-jobs in Australia will riot. It's what they do best.
