Letting Islam Speak to how it will Bary Us

There was a post before on this topic, but this is the best overview of what is at stake I have seen. Of course, it is a huge part of the problem that such an overview is utterly absent from the heart of our media.

The unassuming and previously unknown Rifqa Bary, has now become, arguably, America's most conspicuous apostate from Islam to Christianity. Truncated, grossly warped media depictions of her plight demonstrate that the American chattering classes remain stubbornly unwilling to even acknowledge, let alone confront Islam's malevolent doctrinal intolerance...

The mainstream media narrative, in stark contrast to Pamela Geller's hardboiled (while patent) shoe leather reporting, was apparently developed via inept, lazy and uninformed pseudo-investigation, and imbued with an impenetrable "see no Islam" mentality. Hence the repeated media portrayals of Rifqa Bary as a delusional teenage rebel, "brainwashed" to leave her loving middle-American Muslim home by a Florida-based fringe Christian cult.

Par for the course for the MSM. Day by day, it looks more and more like the old Soviet press: there is no Pravda in Izvestiya, and there is no Izvestiya in Pravda.
