When will you liberal extremists learn?
I’ve just read this article about how members of fringe Muslim groups tend to be over-represented in the media. I don’t doubt there’s truth in that and I can see there’s a good point in there somewhere, but the dressing just makes it hard to find. See, I’d have assumed mainstream Muslims would be angry that it’s the violent extremists that get so much press, turns out I’m wrong! It’s those nasty liberal, progressive Muslims that are spoiling it!
So, I am sick of Tarek Fatah’s tirades, the Communications Director of the fringe organization Muslim Canadian Congress. The fact is that most of his positions are outright unIslamic and unrepresenting of the vast majority of Muslims. For instance, his organization endorsed same-sex marriage, campaigned against Islamic family courts, and pretty much came out on the wrong side of every mainstream Muslim opinion. So, WHY, does any of the media give ANY credibility to this tiny group of fringe nut-cases?
Yes! Those nut-cases! They think that there’s nothing inherently evil about society recognising commitment in homosexual couples and that governments shouldn’t legitimise self-appointed courts passing down judgements that have no basis in actual law. Those guys are so wacky!
Damn you media! You’re portraying Muslims as far more reasonable than they really are! Wait…that doesn’t sound like the media I know and love….
