The shocking failure of professional journalism in this present age.

The shocking failure of journalistic principals [at the hands of professional journalists] in this present age.

Many professional journalists should be ashamed.

But, one has to assume that such people, know no shame.

QUESTION;
Isn't the pursuit and reporting of the TRUTH, meant to be, at the heart of journalistic principals ?

But today, in this modern age, there is clearly apparent, an almost complete failure [by many, many professional journalists and by members of journalistic bodies and associations] to report truthfully, on very topical and political events.

Particularly today, imo, there is a failure to report, on what [the philosophy] ISLAM is, truthfully.

Which is simply, a failure [in this present 'internet age'] to report truthfully, on the undeniable nature and the undeniable character of ISLAM, .....and, on the undeniable nature and the undeniable character, of those individuals who choose to follow that heinous philosophy.

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1431117115/1#1

For me, these two recent articles/items exemplify this shocking failure of [professional] journalism and journalistic principals in this present age;

EXAMPLE #1, DEMONSTRATING THE FAILURE OF MAINSTREAM JOURNALISM TO PURSUE THE TRUTH, of what mainstream ISLAM is....

Female perpetrators and accomplices in honor killings, like their male counterparts, can be calculating, brutal, and without remorse. Tooba Yahya Shafia (center) of Canada was directly involved with her husband and son in the murder of three of her daughters and her husband's first wife.

Shafilea Ahmed (left) of the United Kingdom was murdered by her Pakistani father Iftikhar (top right) and mother Farzana (bottom right). They suffocated Shafilea in front of their four other children after she refused a forced marriage in Pakistan. They were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE.

YOU WILL BE SHOCKED.

COMMENT;
Yes, the details those heinous events were briefly reported, in the mainstream media.

But why was there no subsequent probing investigations, undertaken [and then published] by journalists and the 'mainstream media', exposing what it was [i.e. ISLAMIC tenets and law!!] that inspired such behaviour in human beings ?

Why was mainstream ISLAM, not 'roasted over the coals' in a public exposure of what ISLAMIC tenets and law, actually promote and teach ?

Why the West Should Listen to Hungary on Muslim Refugees

by Raymond Ibrahim
FrontPage Magazine
September 21, 2015

....Some central and east European countries are being criticized by more "progressive" Western nations for not wanting to take in Muslim refugees.

Chief among them is Hungary, specifically in the person of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Western media are characterizing him as "xenophobic," "full of hate speech," and Europe's "creeping dictator."

....Similarly, the Washington Post, after acknowledging that Hungary was once occupied by the Ottomans—though without any mention of the atrocities it experienced—wondered how "it's somewhat bizarre to think this rather distant past of warlords and rival empires ought to influence how a 21st century nation addresses the needs of refugees."

[the example and experience of Myanmar (Burma), being censured by the 'mainstream media' for its response to moslem religious violence, is also cited]

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE.

COMMENT;
Many of those who are trying to warn us [mankind], about the heinous nature and character [and history!!!] of ISLAM, are actually being censured - by those who claim to be journalists, by those who claim to uphold the journalistic principal, of respect for truth !!

Dictionary;
censure = = express severe disapproval of; formally reprove.

Truth is dead.

And imo, it is the worldwide body of professional 'journalists' who have been among the principle assassins, of the spirit of truth, in this age.

QUESTION;
And what is the cause, of this failure in journalistic principals in this present age ?

I would attribute this failure, 1/ to the moral inadequacy of the political ideologues of the left [who in this 'modern age', seem to inhabit and direct every field of endeavour], who care nothing for truth, nor for what is true.

Who are a group of people who follow and expound a philosophy [of living], that when confronted with a truth, which is a truth which confronts and challenges their 'worldview', seem to simply avert their eyes [and conscience!], and then deny the existence of such evidence!

And to 2/, base cowardice.

"....they are not valiant for the truth"
- Jeremiah

We live in an immoral age, ....where even truth is not widely respected.

Quote:

What are the most important things in life? What do the
proverbs, the wise sayings of man through the ages, have to say
on this point? Let us search them. If we did so we would come
up with the following list:

   - the basic necessities (food and shelter)
   - a good wife (or spouse)
   - good health
   - a good conscience
   - a good name
   - wisdom, understanding, good sense, spiritual knowledge,
         understanding of ourselves and life

Now let us ask another question. What things are most commonly
pursued by man? What does the common, ordinary man pursue in
life? We can list them:

   - temporary pleasure (gratification of appetites)
   - material possessions, wealth
   - social position, being "important"
   - friendship, friends, acceptance by a group

http://solitaryroad.com/a398.html

MY PROPOSITION IS THAT;

No cognizant, thinking person [in this internet connected age], can claim that they are ignorant, or that they had no access to information, which describes the mainstream tenets and laws [and nature] of ISLAM.

Or, that they were ignorant of what the principle tenets of ISLAM are.

The evidence is overwhelming, it is confronting, and it is real;

MAINSTREAM ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS TEXTS CLEARLY INSTRUCT THE MOSLEM, THAT MURDERING IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THE 'ADVANCEMENT' OF HIS 'RELIGION', IS BOTH PERMITTED AND ENCOURAGED....

THE HADITH....

"...the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him." - DEAD.
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.260

AND.....

"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." "

Quote:

Ishaq: 676 “[Context note: Asma bint Marwan was a writer. She wrote critically of Muhammad, telling her tribe to be wary of him, like this:]

‘You obey a stranger who encourages you to murder for booty. You are greedy men. Is there no honor among you?’

Upon hearing those lines Muhammad said, ‘Will no one rid me of this woman?’

Umayr, a zealous Muslim, decided to execute the Prophet’s wishes.

That very night he crept into the writer’s home while she lay sleeping surrounded by her young children.

There was one at her breast.

Umayr removed the suckling baby and then plunged his sword into the poet.

The next morning in the mosque, Muhammad, who was aware of the assassination, said, ‘You have helped Allah and His Apostle.’ Umayr said, ‘She had five sons; should I feel guilty?’ ‘No,’

the Prophet answered. ‘Killing her was as meaningless as two goats butting heads.’ ”

"Allah's Apostle", Mohammed, is a man who is revered! be every moslem.

The word,
ignorance
comes from the root;
to ignore

Dictionary;
ignore = = disregard intentionally. fail to consider (something significant).

Copious and accurate [i.e. ISLAMIC sourced] information about the heinous nature and character of ISLAM [and its adherents], is to be found everywhere today.

HATING THE TRUTH;

HIDING/COVERING THE TRUTH;

DENYING THE TRUTH;

Psalms 58:1
Do ye indeed speak righteousness,.... do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Jeremiah 9:3
And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

...
6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Jesus said,

John 18:37
......for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

My counter proposition:

If it takes more than one post to outline you position on an issue you need to revise your writing style, remove repetition and focus on a core message.

If after doing these things you find your post is anemic garbage then maybe reassess your position on states topic.

I'm sure your very proud of your creations/copies Yadda, but no-one else reads the whole post. If you want your stuff to be read and digested use less words and say more.

German Media Caught Covering Up Rapes By Migrants
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVKgg2qGxzE 369 mb !!!!!

An eye-witness account from Kamil Bulonis, a Polish travel blog writer, who was present on the Italian-Austrian border on September 5, 2015, as swarms of Third World nonwhites poured across the border to invade Austria and Germany (A translation from Polish): (Please note: all pictures from the Hungarian-Austrian border)

“Half an hour ago on the border between Italy and Austria I saw with my own eyes a great many immigrants …

With all solidarity with people in difficult circumstances I have to say that what I saw arouses horror … This huge mass of people – sorry, that I’ll write this – but these are absolute savages … Vulgar, throwing bottles, shouting loudly “We want to Germany!” – and is Germany a paradise now?

I saw how they surrounded a car of an elderly Italian woman, pulled her by her hair out of the car and wanted to drive away in the car. They tried to overturn the bus in I travelled myself with a group of others. They were throwing faeces at us, banging on the doors to force the driver to open them, spat at the windscreen … I ask for what purpose? How is this savagery to assimilate in Germany?

I felt for a moment like in a war … I really feel sorry for these people, but if they reached Poland – I do not think that they would get any understanding from us … We were waiting three hours at the border which ultimately could not cross.

Our whole group was transported back to Italy in a police-cordon. The bus is damaged, covered with faeces, scratched, with broken windows. And this is supposed to be an idea for demographics? These big powerful hordes of savages?

Among them there were virtually no women, no children—the vast majority were aggressive young men … Just yesterday, while reading about them on all the websites I subconsciously felt compassion, worried about their fate but today after what I saw I am just afraid and yet I am happy that they did not choose our country as their destination. We Poles are simply not ready to accept these people – neither culturally nor financially.

I do not know if anyone is ready. To the EU a pathology is marching which we had not yet a chance to ever see, and I am sorry if anyone gets offended by his entry …

I can add that cars arrived with humanitarian aid – mainly food and water and they were just overturning those cars …

Through megaphones the Austrians announced that there is permission for them to cross the border—they wanted to register them and let them go on—but they did not understand these messages. They did not understand anything.

And this was the greatest horror … For among those few thousand people nobody understood Italian or English, or German, or Russian, or Spanish … What mattered was fist law… They fought for permission to move on and they had this permission— but did not realize that they had it!

They opened the luggage hatches of a French bus—and everything that was inside was stolen within short time, some things left lying on the ground …

Never in my short life had I an opportunity to see such scenes and I feel that this is just the beginning.”

Moses, I never thought I'd see you quoting a white supremacist. Tsk, tsk. ::)

Despite your constant accusing others of ad hominem this is an actual ad hominem, that is, not addressing or even attempting to address the argument but dismissing it because of who made it.

I have noticed you do not use QED correctly either. Saying ad hominem and QED does not make you sound smarter if you used them innapropriately and not knowing what they mean.

Where to begin... Australian journalists, just like their brethren in every major western nation are on board with the American liberal brand of thinking, and will twist the truth mercilessly to support this doctrine.

A 20-year-old Syrian immigrant identified as "Rokstan M" (left) was allegedly stabbed to death by her father (right) and brothers because they felt that her past gang rape had left her "unclean."

Europe's Muslim Migrants Bring Sex Pathologies in Tow

by David P. Goldman
October 14, 2015

The body of a 20-year-old Syrian woman, "Rokstan M.," was unearthed from a shallow grave in the small Saxon town of Dessau last week.

Her father and brothers stabbed her to death on her mother's orders, after she was gang-raped by three men.

The rape left her "unclean" and the mother allegedly demanded the killing to restore the family's honor.

German police are seeking the father and brothers.

That by itself is not newsworthy.

What is newsworthy is that this affair did not appear in any of Germany's major daily newspapers or websites.

The tabloid Bild-Zeitung ran the story, along with the regional press, while the arbiters of enlightened opinion buried it.

Der Spiegel, the country's biggest news site, and the Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung, the newspaper of record, made no mention.

......
......

Political leaders in Germany—which may absorb 1.5 million migrants this year—are struggling to respond to reports of a sex crime epidemic among newly-arrived Muslims.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere urged Germans not to believe rumors of widespread rape at refugee centers,

The political elites in the West, and the professional journalists and the MSM in the West, are living in la-la land, imo.

Dictionary;
la-la land = =
1 Los Angeles or Hollywood, especially with regard to the film and television industry.
2 a dreamworld.

All of them [along with a good proportion of the rest of the citizens of Western nations] are refusing to confront a reality, which is about to bite all of them, on their a-rse, ....BECAUSE OF THE CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE [of our political elites in the West, and the professional journalists in the West].

WAKE UP PEOPLE.

Moslems see no reason why they must abide by the rules of our Western worldview [i.e. our laws], even when moslems are resident within a Western nation !

Why so ?

Because a moslem, .....is a moslem.

The moslem marches to the beat of another drum.

And EVERY SINGLE MOSLEM [who lives within non-moslem nations in the West] can draw authority for that mainstream doctrine, from Koran verses, such as.....

"....Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith."
Koran 2.98

"....those who reject Allah have no protector."
Koran 47.008
v. 8-11

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. "
Koran 9.29

"There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone"....."
Koran 60:4

.

"Fighting [against disbelievers] is prescribed for you, and [if] ye dislike it.....Allah knoweth, and ye know not."
Koran 2.216

"O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)."
Koran 9.123

"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain:...."
Koran 9.111

Another item exemplifying the failure of professional journalism in this age [a failure in their respect for truth], in failing to bring criticism [of ISLAM/moslems] to ISLAM's door.
