Flopping Aces featured on a Day By Day Cartoon
Congratulations Curt, you so richly deserve this recognition :)
In the light of Flopping Aces revelation regarding news outlets using stringers sympathetic to terrorists causes to create a picture of exaggerated mayhem in Iraq; let's review the Islamic concept of 'taqiyya' (fear, guard against):
In the Hadith Volume 5 , Book 59, Number 369, we see Mohamed make a specific provision for Muslims to lie if it will help them to kill an enemy.
Allah's Apostle said, "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You may say it."
This idea of deception is repeated in the al-queda terrorist manual. The following section echoes and reinforces the findings at Flopping Aces:
Lesson 18: Prison and Detention Centers.This past weekend media outlets worldwide reported this AP story:
A directive lists one mission as "spreading rumors and writing statements that instigate people against the enemy."
If captured, the manual states, "At the beginning of the trial ... the brothers must insist on proving that torture was inflicted on them by state security before the judge. Complain of mistreatment while in prison."
BAGHDAD - Revenge-seeking Shiite militiamen seized six Sunnis as they left prayers yesterday, drenched them with kerosene, and burned them alive while Iraqi soldiers did nothing to stop the attack, police and witnesses said. At least 87 bodies were found across Iraq yesterday. Police Capt. Jamil Hussein said Iraqi soldiers at a nearby army post failed to intervene in the burnings of Sunnis, carried out by suspected members of the Shiite Mahdi Army militia, or in the torching of four Sunni mosques and slaying of at least 19 other Sunnis, including women and children, in the same northwest Baghdad area.
Through Curt's diligent efforts, it has been revealed by Centcom that Capt. Jamil Hussein, the one and only source for alot of this mayhem reporting is NOT a employee of the Ministry of Interior nor is he a police Capt. Additionally, The Multinational Force confirms that only one mosque was attacked not four as reported by AP:
Contrary to recent media reporting that four mosques were burned in Hurriya, an Iraqi Army patrol investigating the area found only one mosque had been burned in the neighborhood.Soldiers from the 6th Iraqi Army Division conducted a patrol in Hurriya Friday afternoon in response to media reports that four mosques were being burned as retaliation for the VBIED attacks in Sadr City on Thursday.
Has the MSM been punked by taqiyya-practicing Muslims? Or has the media adopted the tactics of this ancient Islamic tradition to spread their own ideology?
UPDATE: The AP has
responded to this challenge of the veracity of their story by declaring it "frankly ludicrous".
