The various stories have fanned across the Muslim world, with al-Jazeera carrying water for the Islamists by taking part in the libel by airing a highly respected Egyptian Islamist who accused Egypt's Copts of stockpiling Israeli weapons in their churches and monasteries to wage war against the state.
Projection?
If news of the existence of these types of manufactured stories circulating in the Muslim world clearly designed to whip up anger and intolerance at religious minorities surprises you, don't blame yourself for not following world events closely enough. Muslim spokespersons and their useful idiot stooges, always careful to highlight perceived media bias against Islam in the West, are often (always) silent on the real bias and libel spread in the Muslim world against Jews and Christians.
As we've seen, these stories have resulted in very real terrorist attacks as a consequence - numerous killings of Christians have been carried out in Pakistan after unruly mobs are misinformed that their Christian neighbors had insulted their prophet or holy book and just this week, al-Qaeda in Iraq justified their hostage taking and massacre of Christians during a mass in part because of the stories from Egypt. Additionally, in the past decade, 700 Churches and Christian places of worship have been attacked in 'moderate' Indonesia.
Of course, when the narrative of Leftist rags, such as Loonwatch.com, is of a completely innocent Muslim world against the blood thirsty West, it is of little surprise when Muslims take these simplistic views to the extreme and kill a few Christians or so.
Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- All Christians in the Middle East are now "legitimate targets," al Qaeda in Iraq announced Wednesday, as the group's deadline for Egypt's Coptic church to release alleged Muslim female prisoners expired.
...
The message purportedly came from the Islamic State of Iraq, which claimed responsibility for an attack on a Baghdad church Sunday that killed 58 people and wounded 75. The umbrella group includes a number of Sunni extremist organizations and has ties to al Qaeda in Iraq.
The group said the women's alleged plight was the reason it stormed the church.
...
The group's claim that the Coptic Church in Egypt is holding female prisoners is based on widespread rumors of Coptic women in Egypt converting to Islam and being detained by the church in an attempt to compel or persuade them to return to their original faith.
