So, as the story goes, another situation from liberal media that really turns the stomach. Apparently, NBC's Dateline sent in some people disguised as Muslims, to a NASCAR race, where they proceeded to throw down their prayer blankets right in the center, in an effort to try to instigate a racist reaction. As it turned out, they had no reaction at all, except from the security, as the camera crew raised suspicions. Ahh, nothing like liberal journalism, looking for that sliver in someone else's eye while ignoring the plank of hypocrisy in their own. Nothing like making the blank statement that NASCAR fans, and while we're at it, the general population of those worthless sacks who live in "red" states, are a bunch of racist bigots. I guess that depends on your definition of bigotry. Check out these addresses for the story: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/rawfisher/2006/04/inside_the_sausage_factory_how.html http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/wb/xp-59990 I actually found the whole situation pretty insulting, even though I wouldn't categorize myself as the type who would go to a Nascar race. What I really find interesting isn't so much that they were trying to find out how Muslims were treated, but rather to make a high school journalism jab at a group that they don't understand and hence make broad stereoptype about. As in, "Well, they're rednecks, so they must be racists. They probably all have Rebel flags hangin' on their walls at home." Typical arrogance. Typical hypocrisy as well, from "intellectuals" looking down on the "country folk." I also find it interesting that instead of looking for a what to positively impact the opinions that people have towards Muslims, they're just trying to show that these rednecks, those obviously lowerclass denizens, are racist bigots. The point is, that people see the beheadings and bombings and shootings, and they see how Islamic radicals are involved in nearly every single conflict across the globe, and yet the hypocritical PC police demand that they only view the Muslim faith positively. It is expected that we have no criticism of Muslims, and that we pretend that we see nothing hypocritical about their faith, about their mistreatment of women, of their desired (and stated) subjugation of all other faiths, and their suppression of all criticism of their religion (i.e. the murder of van Gogh in Amsterdam, the ridiculous outburst worldwide from the cartoons that American newspapers were too cowardly to print). There is this idea of supreme protection of all things Muslim...and yet I just read in USA Today about some guy deciding that Christ must have walked on ice, not water; after all, what kind of twit would believe that the central figure of their faith might be able to do a miracle or two? The pointed objective of this "study" (to show that the Bible, and hence the beliefs of millions of Americans, is wrong)would fit in the constant derision by liberals of a peaceful faith found right here in America, where Christians just take it because they understand freedom of speech and expression of opinion. I'd like to see those same "researchers" talk about the kind of person Mohammed was. The kind of guy who was a warlord, who owned slaves, who waged bloody wars. And that's just what the Koran says. Now if they talked about him, that would be the day.
