The Media's Double Standard for Muslims
by Robert Spencer https://www.legal-project.org/2655/the-media-double-standard-for-muslims Excerpt: The mainstream media claims to be multicultural, respecting all cultures equally, but actually holds Muslims and the Islamic world to a standard so low that it would have brought a furious blush to the cheeks of the most dyed-in-the-wool White Man's Burden-carrier in the old British Raj. Case in point: have you heard about the London vicar who said that if a newborn baby is not an Anglican, "the devil inserts his index finger into the anus of the newborn, who thus becomes a passive homosexual"? Of course, no vicar ever said such a thing; it was actually the London-based Shi'ite cleric Yasser Habib, who said on his Fadak TV satellite channel on May 24 that at birth, "if the newborn is not one of our Shiites, the devil inserts his index finger into the anus of the newborn, who thus becomes a passive homosexual." If a Christian minister really had said such a thing, the outcry would be immediate, indignant, and international; but the world will little note nor long remember the statements of Yasser Habib. A Muslim cleric saying hateful things about those not within his fold? Go back to sleep.
