New York Times Shills For Ground Zero Victory Mosque Imam And Sharia | NewsReal Blog

New York Times Shills For Ground Zero Victory Mosque Imam And Sharia | NewsReal Blog:

Adding to its credentials as ‘the Obama administration’s paper of record,’ the New York Times is now the self-appointed promoter of Cordoba House and its Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. In a disgraceful front page article this past Sunday, the Times outdid itself. The article, written by Anne Barnard, was nothing short of a rhapsody written to praise Rauf and sharia (Islamic law).

The Times entitled Barnard’s front page rhapsody “Complicated Balancing Act For Imam In Mosque Furor.” It characterized Rauf as a man of moderation and peace, who is pro-American and even a supporter of the state of Israel. It repeated, without any critical analysis, Rauf’s and his wife DaisyKhan’s lame attempt to re-brand the supremist, misogynist ideology underlying sharia as something that it is clearly not – upholding “core principles like rights to life, dignity and education.”"
