Fox"news": Beware Forest Jihad

[CptStern]

forest jihad!!!

Firefighters and homeowners aren't the only ones keenly watching Australia's massive wildfires, responsible for killing at least 173 people in the southern part of the continent.

Terrorism experts suspect Muslim extremists are watching closely, too ? and taking note of the devastation.

OMG THE TERR'STS ARE COMING TO BURN OUR FORRESTS, RUN FORREST RUN!!!

bah fox ****ing news jihad alarmists ****faces

the experts suspect the terrerists may be watching tv and plotting our fiery doom. it really doesnt get any more alarmist than that


I love their "terrorism experts" like this guy:

DR JARRET BRACHMAN

"... he conducts freelance consulting and issues fatwas against al-Qaida"

so in other words he makes a living from consulting and writing books on al qaeda ...."and issues fatwas on al qaida"? maybe he's also a terrorist


check out his site. in huge bold type face he has this line:

"AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION INCLUDE: "

followed by photos of osama and other terrirsts

For some reason this article reminds me of the guy who held up cashier at a bank whilst disguised as a tree

To be fair for FOX: they're not the first to report this. Check this link from september 2008.

 

[PvtRyan]

If they do, they just went from very confrontational to being passive-aggressive pussies. Lighting forest fires, pff..

 

[Shakermaker]

Hypothetically speaking a sustained campaign to destabilize the western world through forest fires or other methods that disrupt normalcy would be a lot more successful than sporadic pinpricks in the form of terrorist attacks.

To be fair for FOX: they're not the first to report this. Check this link from september 2008.

it's not so much the issue but rather the language they use:

" Firefighters and homeowners aren't the only ones keenly watching"


"Terrorism experts suspect Muslim extremists are watching closely, too - and taking note of the devastation."

"While Australian authorities have revealed no evidence [it's there, the Australian authorities just havent revelaed it yet] linking the wildfires to extremists, terrorism experts say the large death toll, the huge swath of destruction and the massive financial blow to the country are proving to Islamic terrorists that arson can be a highly effective - and simple - tool of holy war."


that's just in the first paragraph. wheras your link was concrete news about an actual event. the fox "news" piece was all speculation linking something completely unrelated and giving it an alarmist what if spin

to say the author knew what he was writing would be an understatement. foxnews eats sensationalism for breakfast lunch dinner and midnight snack

 

[Shakermaker]

Yeah, it's very suggestive language. But then again it's FOX. If it wouldn't have been a sensationalized story, it would have been a surprise for me.

 

[CptStern]

I just love repeating the phrase "forest jihad" ..it just sounds so idiotic/alarmist

it puts a picture in my head of a swarthy heavy eyelinered muslim extremist wearing a black turban/robes with a huge scimitar charging a group of trees while shouting ALLAH ACKBARK!!!

 

[Gunner]

The guy's got a PHD, so he OBVIOUSLY knows what he's talking about...

 

[Shakermaker]

Forest blitzkrieg!

At this point, I'm surprised Fox News hasn't labeled itself as a terrorist.
If it had existed long ago, it would've labeled the Battle of Athens a "terrorist" rebellion, along with any display of independence. Their display of "anonymous" was enough to prove that they're completely willing to make up facts to further their ratings/regime.
If they could, they would label every arsonist, vandal, liter bug, and miscreant on the street as a terrorist.
Anyone who threatens their plans, their ratings, or anyone who would make a good rating boost would be labeled a terrorist.
Seriously guys, stop watching Fox News, stop giving it ratings, stop paying attention to it, stop other people from believing any of it's bullcrap (and we all know that here), and it will go away.
