Shoddy Reporting on the Religion of Islam by ABC News Part 14

I came across a critique of the ABC News 20/20 program, “Islam: Questions and Answers.” That program originally was broadcast a year or so ago. A recent YouTube exposé points out 20 errors in the hour long supposed ‘news’ program. This is a fourteenth and final in a series of posts that will delved into the various errors made by Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and guests on this program. I am not quite sure whether this was just a case of very bad or sloppy reporting, or merely a succumbing to political correctness, or outright lies about the so-called ‘religion’ of peace.

Here is the video, “Whitewashing Islam – 20 Errors on 20/20 (ABC News).” Following the video is a transcript of the next errors found in the ‘news’ production.

Error #20

[Transcription below for above video beginning at 23:16 on the video]

The infamous 'Ground Zero Mosque' Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, a ravenous wolf in moderate Muslim garb trying to deceive the American sheep, claims that:

“It’s my ‘duty’ as an American Muslim to stand between you the American non-Muslim, and the radicals, who are trying to attack you.”

David Wood repeats what Rauf deceptive boast, “‘It’s a Muslims duty to stand’ between us and the radicals, who are trying to carry out Mohammed’s command in the Qur’an and the hadith. I’ll tell you, Imam Rauf, you show in fact anywhere in the Qur’an or authentic hadith and I will personally help you build a mosque at Ground Zero! But you won’t show me because you know this isn’t what Islam teaches at all.

"In areas where Muslims make up a majority, the duty of Muslims is to violently subjugate all non-Muslims. In the Qur’an or authentic Hadith and I will personally help you build a mosque at Ground Zero!

“In areas like the United States where Muslims are in the minority the duty of Muslims is to practice TAQIYYA, deceiving non-Muslims into believing Islam is peaceful and tolerant.

“But you know this, Imam Rauf, because that is what you do for a living, and the lovely folks over at ABC News are all too happy to serve as your megaphone! But since the topic of ‘Islam’ it is perfectly acceptable to broadcast total nonsense in an effort to make Islam sound better than it really is. ABC News like so many other networks is a TAQIYYA AMPLIFIER! Muslims come up with soothing lies. ABC pumps them into your living room.

“If you are as feed up as I am, I invite you to send this video to as many people as possible. We need to start holding networks accountable for misleading and deceiving their viewers and we can do this by drawing attention to errors and correcting them…”

I look forward to additional exposés from www.AnsweringMuslims.com revealing real Islam. We have enough of the sanitized, false version so eloquently delineated by the main stream media, academia, and the Muslim taqiyya practitioners such as those ABC News traipsed out (Rauf, Manji, Aslan, Imam Hendi, Lekovic among others) in front of the cameras on their 20/20 program for American viewer consumption. In the end, what ABC presented was pure propaganda and indoctrination of just another politically correct issue defined and championed by the Left.

I highly commend the work of Mr. Wood and his website mentioned above and those who assist him in any way. We need more of this reality-based information, more truth about the Islamic system.

After viewing the video of the 20/20 "Islam Q and A" Program and having carefully gone through the "Whitewashing Islam" video I must conclude that the the 20/20 program was a puff piece, a pure propaganda film. There were elements of truth sown in here and there, but otherwise it was a fabrication or the false portrayal of Islam as essentially a peaceful religion.

The faces of innocent children, and pretty people mouthing platitudes about their peaceful 'religion,' and even the heart-wrenching antidote about a community coming together over a lost Islamic child at sea, cannot hide the lie. The reality is that the so-called 'religion' is false. That religion at its core is based on lies and its doctrine is inconsistent and presents a god that is unjust, hateful and altogether lacking in the love and justice found in the one true God found in Judeo-Christian sacred writings, the Bible.

Sharia Law, the practice of wife beating, cruel punishments such as beheading and  amputations prescribed by Islamic doctrine and implemented today in Saudi Arabia, Iran and other Muslim countries, regarding women as less then 2nd class, the practice of TAQIYYA, the issuance of FATWAS, the abject intolerance of any other religion in nearly every Muslim-majority country on earth all point to an Islam that is antithetical to what was portrayed in the 20/20 program. To portray the Americanized version of Islam is absolutely wrong. Most of what was said in the 20/20 piece would not fly in any Muslim dominated country. Those people expressing their interpretation would be literally shot down or stoned!

Wake up, America, to the enemy within. Along with its sinister sidekick Marxism, these twin evils compete with and conspire to destroy America.
