Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want an anti-Muslim backlash, but in all of
this talk of Islamophobia, it seems the most acute and relevant phobia is the fear our elites have of their own people. The rabble can’t be
trusted to keep things in perspective. While the story was still
unfolding in Paris, Steven Erlanger, the New York Times’s London bureau chief, was invited on Shep Smith’s show for a “phoner.” Erlanger couldn’t resist starting the interview
by warning Fox about how “careful” it needs to be covering the story.
The Eloi must be ever vigilant not to arouse the Morlocks, don’t you
know. It was this sentiment that no doubt motivated the Times to edit its own reporting on the attack, removing any reference to the fact that one of the Charlie Hebdo attackers spared a woman’s life — and advised her she needed to convert to Islam.
You can almost hear the editors saying, “Look, if we leave that in, the
little people might get the impression this had something to do with
Islam. We know it does, but we can handle that truth. The flyover people
might miss the nuances.”

I don't want a back lash either. I want vengeance, served up ice cold.
I don't like third world mutts thinking that I am weak and stupid and unwilling to defend myself.
