Charles Johnson over at Little Green Footballs has identified a rather interesting phenomenon at Yahoo this morning.
As the website reported on the results of a just-released Pew Research Center survey of Muslim Americans, the headline continued to change:
One hour and 52 minutes ago, the headline was:
Most U.S. Muslims reject suicide bombings.
Thirty-five minutes ago, the same story was re-released:
Some US Muslims justify suicide attacks.
Will it change again? The second headline is actually less politically correct than the first, so stay tuned...
And here’s the fabulous punch line:
UPDATE at 5/22/07 11:32:57 am:
The latest version:
How delicious.
*****Update: Please see Ken Shepherd's piece concerning the same AP story.

AP Headlines
May 22, 2007 - 14:38 ET by RiharI've noticed that these online headlines often change from the AP. Just like the ones above, sometimes it's a headline that you might agree with and sometimes it's a headline that makes you want to shake your head. Yet, it's the same story, often with no updates whatsoever.
When a liberal speaks, the truth is busy elsewhere.

Too many. Certify that you don't want us dead or leave.
May 22, 2007 - 15:27 ET by Blogger Guy00001It will never happen, but it should. When a high percentage of the members of the group want the rest of us dead, the entire group must be required to sign a statement that they do not wish or favor the murder of innocent people. Any who don't sign must be expelled!

May 22, 2007 - 16:18 ET by CatherwoodThere really are no Muslims who denounce the suicide bombing and the killing of the innocent. Show me one. Point the way to one. Suicide bombers have been killing the innocent all over the world since 1947. I have yet to hear one condemn the act or mourn the loss of the innocent. They want the infidels dead any way that can happen. The Islamo fascists are a hateful people beant on death and destruction and I, for one, am not fooled by what liberal idiots say on Yahool.

May 22, 2007 - 16:26 ET by sarcasmoOk, I'll show you one. Here's his denunciation of terrorism (includes pre-9/11 denunciation of both Bin Laden & Bill Clinton). I met this guy on a day when he sang a (quite sad, but quite good) song about what Thomas Jefferson would think of the republic we love (and/or claim to love, in some cases...) today. I wish I could recall the words.

Sorry Sarc... but the UN laws
May 23, 2007 - 01:31 ET by liberal_bug_zapperSorry Sarc... that crap you posted from that supposed "Muslim" bashing Bin Laden... what sophistry that whole charade was...it was done to give moral equivalence to Bin Laden and Clinton... but the UN laws do not apply to us. They don't apply to anyone who does not want to obey them. The Chinese don't, the Russians don't, even the French (who squeal about us constantly) don't.
The UN is useless and is only a forum to debate and to communicate with those we might not otherwise talk to.
My country is the US of A... not the UN. I don't obey UN laws and never will.
Where do your loyalties lie?

May 22, 2007 - 16:32 ET by c5thenat least in certain circumstances!!!????
I'm beginning to believe that Mohammed was "The Beast", the Dome of the Rock is the abomination on the temple mount and that Islam is the false religion that the Anti-Christ makes all the world worship. It all seems to fit very well.
Islam is the problem, nothing else.

May 22, 2007 - 18:02 ET by VT Con ManSo,,, lemme make sure I have this right, more than one in 4 American Muslims (under age 30)believe SUICIDE BOMBING OF CIVILIANS is justifialble in some cases. WTF is that?!? I wonder how many Christians believe this. One in seventy gazillion??? (I guess we have McVeigh to deal with, but he was a friggin wacko)
Um, I think we might need to re-think our PC hands off approach to this. Or we can do what Spain did, bend over and grab the ankles for these ungreatful little punks.
I am sure there are many wonderful muslim believers who will be with us, or is that too much to ask. What a world what a world.

May 22, 2007 - 19:54 ET by ThisnThatWe need to take the same approach Lebanon is taking today with those Al Q types. The Army has been told to "take them all out -- no cease fire". And, further reports say there is fear in the streats -- very unlike the time that Israel was bombing last summer. Go Lebanon!
"Take them all out"
May 22, 2007 - 20:42 ET by VT Con Man"Take them all out" I like that approach.
Hopefully, that is what Bush has been busy doing while the congress of ours has been sniveling about evey little thing. Uh, war is not pretty and eliminating a determined, murderous enemy is going to take a while. "Understanding" and PC a$$ kissing won't cut it with the Islamofacists.
So yeah, "take em all out"

May 22, 2007 - 20:10 ET by JerryLet's say that Christians had been blowing up people across the globe for years, intentionally targeting women and children. Let's say a poll came out that said that 1 out of every 4 Christians supported these acts. I doubt the headline would have read "Majority of Christians Reject Suicide Bombings". In the first place, the media's polling question would have been.. "Shoud an ethnic cleansing of Christians take place for the benefit of the planet?"

Religion or Government?
May 23, 2007 - 05:17 ET by Army BratI'll say it again...Islam is not a religion, It's a form of Government. Imams and such issue Fatwahs for someones death. This is a function usually reserved to the state. The religios police chase men into Mosque with a stick. Only a government could do that. In Iran barbers are told what haircuts are allowed, musicians what music is acceptable. Ones entire life is micro-managed by the state religion. Only in Islamic countries does this kind of ditatorship occur. Islam...surrender/submit. It is the perfect vehicle for one to attain absolute power over ones fellow man. Argue with the "rulers" and your against Islam and the next thing y'know yer head's in yer lap, courtesy of a"very religious young man", who was directed by his spiritual leader to defend Islam.
The ones at the heart of this problem are the Ayatollahs who take the trust and idealism of young men and women, who like all young people, want to good in the world, and twist it to their own political ends.
Fear Islam? I'm beginning to. I can't deny the evidence of my eyes. Happy Trails...

May 23, 2007 - 05:50 ET by ThisnThatAB, ever notice how, when the news shows the muslim schools, they are all rocking back and forth while chanting their lines? Can you imagine that type of thing happening in any American school?
I also don't understand this "pray 5 times a day" thing, and why toilets have to face the so-called Mecca (can I be exectuted for calling it "so-called"?).
If we were to make movies of things like this, and name them "Stepford Wives" or something, we would all think this is some portrayal of an evil future state.
Which is exactly what it is -- evil. Very evil.
"1984" is a children's book compared to the Koran and what the Koran does to people and the Muslim people-states.
You're right -- time to become very concerned with what's going on.
