LGF reader Amer1can pointed out an astounding phrase in an Associated Press article, published at MSNBC: ‘Major attacks’ threatened in Iraq.
The phrase echoed the words used by the Prophet Muhammad’s successor, Abu Bakr, after the prophet’s death in the 7th century to urge Muslims to continue spreading Islam.
Notice, it’s not a quote. That’s pure shilling for jihad, and it’s extremely unlikely to have been written by a non-Muslim.
But even more interesting is this later version of the same article, which appears to have been cleaned up by an editor who recognized how outrageous (and revealing) the first version was: Al-Zarqawi death prompts attack warning. (Hat tip: christheprofessor.)
The phrase echoed the words used by the Prophet Muhammad’s successor, Abu Bakr, after the prophet’s death in the 7th century to urge Muslims to stick to their new faith.
Well now, that’s quite a different message, isn’t it?
