Mainstream media avoid using the “M” word in reporting the verdict on the (Muslim) Honor Killings in Canada

It is the religion that dare not speak its name…at least on NBC News and at the Associated Press among other politically correct circles. Both media outlets reported on a verdict in an ‘honor killings’ case in Canada while managing to avoid mentioning a certain religion whose name starts with ‘M.’
NEWBUSTERS (H/T Dan M) To watch or read both reports, you would think that “honor killings” was some sort of bizarre ritual limited to the family in question or perhaps a few other members of an unidentified “patriarchal culture.” First the AP report on the MSNBC site which does mention a religion but not the one you think:
KINGSTON, Ontario — A jury on Sunday found an Afghan father, his wife and their son guilty of killing three teenage sisters and a co-wife in what the judge described as “cold-blooded, shameful murders” resulting from a “twisted concept of honor.”
The jury took 15 hours to find Mohammad Shafia, 58; his wife Tooba Yahya, 42; and their son Hamed, 21, each guilty of four counts of first-degree murder in a case that shocked and riveted Canadians from coast to coast. First-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.
A religion is finally mentioned in the report but only the one in which is politically correct to do so:
The prosecution said her parents found condoms in Sahar’s room as well as photos of her wearing short skirts and hugging her Christian boyfriend, a relationship she had kept secret…
Here is a partial transcript:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: ”A verdict has been reached in a murder case that’s gotten a lot of attention because it involved so-called honor killings of family members by family members. In this case an Afghan family living in Canada. It is a culture clash getting a lot of attention to our north. NBC’s Kevin Tibbles has the story.”
Culture clash? And what culture would that be? Brian Williams leaves us in the dark as does reporter Kevin Tibbles.
KEVIN TIBBLES: “Three teenage sisters murdered because of how they wanted to live their lives. Dress like westerners, use the internet, meet boys. Also killed, their father’s first wife, by a strict religious family that felt it had been disgraced.”
A “strict religious family” yet Tibbles bizarrely neglects to mention that religion. How much does anybody want to bet that if there were such a thing as Baptist honor killings that “Baptist” would be prominently mentioned in every NBC News or AP story about such a crime?
The NBC News broadcast of this case also managed to avoid mentioning the taboo M-word as you can see in this video:
This is getting worse than ridiculous — this is becoming an “Insane” way to handle this.
Okay….Killing family — wife had bag over her head.LOL. Sorry.
This is getting to be ridiculous!
If they don’t want it know — then don’t do it, idiots!!!!
Not only that, while listening to Barbara Simpson’s radio show on line last night, the news mentioned the story and added, honor killings are very rare. She went on to say, there have been less than 10 … I forgot the time span she added and if it was that city or Canada or the US.
She mentioned how rare honor killings are several times in the minute or so story.
Annie, you can be sure a lot of honor killings are not called honor killings.
“Domestic Dispute?”
The journalists are on the front line in Islam’s war against freedom.
What world does she live in?
Annie you give new meaning to the word Dhimmi. Very dim indeed.
Annie – One “honour Killing” is one to much.
This political correctness makes me sick. These gutless journalist should be ashamed of themselves.
Rhubarb! Rhubarb! We hear the same shit every day. And our Christian society lets it happen. We, by our inactivity and politically correct bull shit help them in their Satanic work.
have you seen this video of your boyfriend?
Liz, sure did!
Go West!!!!!
If any one who is looking for the truth is relying upon a once known fact, if it is fit to print it is news, you are now living in the past. The fact is, not only do these so called journalist, not do the work of being reporters, they are trying the new waters with the next step as usual, try to aviod the truth to set it as a political miscaculation. The truth is no longer needed, there are no “just the facts mam” just add in something of value to the reader, and forget about the revelences of the story, their side only, this is now considered news, fit for the idiots is just fine so long as we have a few reading, hell let them figure it out, it’s no longer our job, we’re just here for the beni’s attitude.
Now this leads to another topic for most rational and thinking persons in regards to a fact that is being snubbed right in front of our eyes, A Georgia court was snubbed by the obam’s regime, telling the State to mind it’s own business regarding the eligability of obama’s bin lyn qualification for the ballot in that State for a second term, if they had a full blown revolution, right there in front of you, did it really happen or is it just a few concerned citizens of thier country expressing their anger for the status qo. Time will tell. It is getting more ridiculous day by day. I feel I am in the rabbit hole going further down to la la, la la land without a parachut. Am I the only one who is noticing this?
Semper Fi.
No Sir you are not alone us that did not vote for him have Georgia on our mind ! The mulato trained rat for soro’s is run into a cornner ! WE know the greasy varmit will slip away but not unscratched this time. Semper Fi
No, You are definately not the only one.
Where did it go B?
Marine, where did WHAT go?
Strict religious family…huh? OMG we must have a bunch of killer Buddhists up there in Canada! Or were they a bunch of Baptists gone rogue! You never know about those wacky fundamentalist Christians! Could they have been Hasidic Jews that went wacky? No, maybe they are Sikhs! Hindus have some wacky customs! Yeah! They were crazy Hindus! LOL.
Of course, they were Muslims! Yeah, you have wackos in every religion, but only Islam does this crazy crap on a regular basis!
Just another way to cast reproach on “religion” while protecting the islamic muslime death cult.
At least they were “sentenced”, now the question is – will they serve ??
It’s gotten to the point where either the menace of Islam will go away on its own, or only some catasrophic event will shock the sheeple into being willing to defy the gods of PC and identify the enemy by name. Otherwise, the stealth jihad will continue to slowly strangle us into silence.
And it sure doesn’t look like Islam is likely to go away on its own. Why should it, when it continues to win? That leaves us with two very unpleasant alternatives. As the Chinese curse says, “May you live in interesting times.”
Honor killing is permitted in Koran and Sharia law:
Koran 18.81

Imam threatened after agreeing with Shafia decision.

Is there no self control among these knobs? How long til we see fighting between the sects over what is uncivilized behaviour?
FMB, not a surprise.
Methodists? Mormons? Mennonites?
Mike, guess again. LOL
Where does this CAIR and these other MUSLIM get its power?!
OK we know the PC morons who run the media, most of the public educations system & too much of the state and federal government run for cover at the hot button words these MUSLIM toss out, but there has to be more.
Why are the MUSLIMS such a protected group?
Why are so many in power afraid to risk offending these MUSLIMS ? There are not enough of them in the USA or Canada and they cannot have that much money. SO why?
xyz, cair gets it power direct from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. They never tried half this crap when Bush was in office. Now they have carte blanche, and if their whining and threats of litigation doesn’t work, they get their brother Barry and his Muslim staff members to step in.
But of curse…Al barak, our crypto Muslim president. ( will he come out in his 2nd term????
However, I recall vividly after 9-11 Bush on TV telling us that “… Islam is a peaceful religion” I did not believe much of what ole George used to say anyway and that was when I started seriously reading about Islam and its Prophet and the history, etc and saw that is made no sense to use the word “peaceful” and “Islam”.
WOW. So the word Islam is a dirty word!!!
That reminded me, when I was a boy in Egypt, among the Coptic community, to call or even ask a Copt if he/she is a Muslim, that was considered an insult.
Now, the Muslims are avoiding to be called Muslims!!!!!! At least, that what does it sound like.
ronyvo, No, they just don’t like the word muslim in front of the bad stuff they do.
