NYTimes Relies on Pro-Islamic Group That Got $7 Million from Soros

Only the politically correct media could think a film about the dangers of radical Islam would be controversial … in New York City, the city of the World Trade Center attack by radical Islamists.

But that's exactly the case, as The New York Times has written seven separate pieces - including an op-ed and an editorial - on the ''firestorm'' over the movie ''The Third Jihad.'' The editorial, headlined ''Hate Film,'' criticized the New York Police Department's ''decision to show a hate-filled film about Muslims to more than 1,400 city police officers.''

The paper cited the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University for its work gaining police documents. The Times even called out the Clarion Fund, which produced the video. Nowhere in any of the reporting, did the paper mention that the Brennan Center has received $7,591,129 from the George Soros-run Open Society Foundations.

But it goes into great depth attacking the Clarion Fund. Here's just a piece from one article:

''The 72-minute film was financed by the Clarion Fund, a nonprofit group whose board includes a former Central Intelligence Agency official and a deputy defense secretary for President Ronald Reagan. Its previous documentary attacking Muslims' 'war on the West' attracted support from the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, a major supporter of Israel who has helped reshape the Republican presidential primary by pouring millions of dollars into a so-called super PAC that backs Newt Gingrich.''

But again, not a word about the Soros foundation support for the Brennan Center.

This isn't the first time Soros foundations have advocated for Islamic causes. Soros's Open Society Foundations have funded and hosted events that promote similar ideas. Their ''At Home in Europe Project'' explored Muslim integration in cities across Europe. ''As a result of the attacks in New York, Madrid, and London, Muslim communities in Europe today are under heightened scrutiny. Yet, there is also increasing acknowledgment of the prejudice Muslims experience and the social and economic disadvantages they suffered.''

The Soros-funded Social Science Research Council was also one of the groups behind a new course on Islam designed for journalists which tries to minimize the impact and importance of ''jihad'' by comparing it to the number of murders in America each year.

Who would have ever guessed that Obama's daddy, George Soros, was stoking the Moooooooooslem fires of hate against everything Western?

We can wake the hell up, or we can die. Our choice.

Nazi plunder, even as a teenager, is most certainly illegal.

If Jon Demjanjuk can be stripped of his citizenship and deported to face trial based upon a truly flimsy identification as a Nazi, then Soros can be investigated for his role in Hungarian atrocities based on the allegations he collaborated with the Nazis there.

That describes me pretty well, and every "progressive" I hate deserves it. Sorry if that upsets you. Actually, no I'm not sorry.

SSRC funded by Soros? Scant evidence...

But that doesn't deter the bigoted clowns at the1389Blog from applauding and republishing the investigative coup by the MRC, since the only religious followers they loathe more than Muslims are Mormons.

Here's an excerpt from the keyboard of one of the disgustingly intolerant 1389 nutjobs:

Mormonism Is Not Christianity

Why is this important?

It’s because of the 2012 elections, and if you are a voter, it should matter to you what the candidates believe.

Mitt Romney subscribes to the Mormon faith for two reasons:

He was raised in it, and is incapable of admitting he is wrong;

The Mormon faith promises him that he, Mitt Romney, will become a god and rule over his own planet if he goes along with their program.

That makes Mitt Romney seriously deluded, a malignant narcissist, or both.

We have had too many narcissists in the White House already, but this takes it to a whole new level. I am repelled by the thought of voting for somebody who wants to be a god. I had hoped that civilized western governments were finished with that nonsense once Julian the Apostate died. If you are a Christian and you assume that Mormonism is a branch of Christianity, then either you know little about Mormonism, or you have not been properly catechized...

And that merely scratches the surface of the unhinged hatred directed at Mormons and Romney, which is almost matched by the site's anti-Islamic hysteria.  Maybe Soros should consider funding an additional course.

If you study the theology of The Book of Mormon and the theological beliefs of the morman religion you will find that they stray from the basic beliefs of christianity.
Mormons of today are good decent people and true christians have no problem coexisting with and loving them.

Differences in theology are best left for discussion in a proper setting.
