Apologizing for Dark-Ages Islamic Savagery in the Subtlest of Ways

In an article published yesterday in the New York section of Amerika's newspaper of record entitled "Mubarak, Terrorism, and Their Tie," Times communist Jim Dwyer brings us back to the more innocent era of 1993, before the blind sheik Omar Rahman was convicted for his role in bringing Stone-Age diversity to New York City, where he and his Islamic followers with dirty beards tried a first time to bring down the Twin Towers (the 12th anniversary of that frontal assault on Western Civilization took place yesterday, the 26th of February).

But instead of condemning this primitive Stone-Age scum in any way, Dwyer actually suggests that their behaviour is directly the result of US-backed oppression of Mubarak opponents.

From the article :

"In “The Looming Tower,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning history of terrorism leading to 9/11, Lawrence Wright argued that humiliation in the prisons nurtured a violent rage. “Egypt’s prisons became a factory for producing militants whose need for retribution — they called it justice — was all-consuming,” Mr. Wright wrote. Even after 9/11, the Egyptian authorities were used by the United States to carry out interrogations and acts that would have been illegal for United States agents. The coils of history are wound too tightly to imagine that a world without Mr. Mubarak would have spared New York City its worst moments. At least we can hope that they are all behind us."

 So you see, according to the sick, demented self-loathing elitists at the NYT, Islamic barbary is really our fault.

The New York Times: playing for the other team since 1984.
