May 18, 2005Jihadweek, Follow-UpQuick and dirty to follow-up on yesterday: The continued blame the victim and insistence that full journalistic standards were followed lines continue to be reprehensible. Why not do what they demand of others? Just as there was a full investigation of the so-called Segrena incident, or even Abu Ghraib itself, why not a full investigation here complete with sworn testimony and evidence? Sauce for the gander time, and much needed. While I believe the author and those above bear moral and ethical responsibility for what happened, the real problem lies in those that would seize any pretext to engage in riot, murder, and more. Last time I checked, I didn't notice the Quakers sacking Pennsylvania because of an alleged desecration... Finally, why is it that the Old Media is so darned sensitive to the feelings of Muslim extremists but not to almost any other faith, most especially Christians? Just some quick thoughts that need to be out there. LW Comments Good point on the rioters LW. Check out this column. I think you'll find it interesting. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=18108 Posted by: Noble Eagle at May 18, 2005 06:58 PMThe thing is that Newsweek should have known what the reaction would be. The problem is that the Jihadis are human. And thus, yes, they bear responsibility. But they don't act (or, IMO think) as civilized humans do. So... if you poke a stick at a rattlesnake, whose fault is it if you get bitten? Rattlesnakes can sometimes be avoided... sometimes you can capture them... and sometimes you have to kill them. But it is never necessary to sit there and poke at them with a stick. It is even less neccesary to stand behind someone else and poke at them with a stick, knowing that the other person will be the one bitten. Posted by: Kathy K at May 19, 2005 02:48 AMPost a comment
