MSM fails to identify death of Ilan Halimi as racial

In a scathing attack on the United States MSM, the Militant Islam Monitor asks the question, "Where is the outrage? Torture murder by Muslim gang with community complicity in Paris goes unreported in US media".

Good question. Do I smell the stink of 'tolerance' and 'political correctness gone amuck'? The Monitor is an online resource documenting the activities and identities of Islamist individuals and groups in the United States and abroad. Here's some of what they have to say:

Most U.S. newspapers buried the death of Mr. Halimi if they carried it at all. Now they are attempting to defuse it, acting as multicultural ombudsmen for the Islamists who perpetrated this outrage.

Note to the liars at the Associated Press, money was not the object of this kidnapping, the motivating force is exactly the same as what drove Hitler - AP can't handle the truth, neither can the LA Times whose Sunday piece concluded:

"Rather than a premeditated anti-Semitic murder, it seems a more complex result of dysfunction in the narrow world of thug culture: a poisonous mentality that designates Jews as enemies along with other "outsiders," according to investigators and other observers."

The only reason Mr. Halimi was selected was because he was a Jew.
...
Would AP and the LA Times be expending such efforts to parse, shuffle and dissemble if the victim had been a Muslim killed by Christians or an African American lynched by a Southern gang?

When the truth is inconsistent with the predisposition of the MSM they lie - they did this with the French Muslim riots in November, they did so only a few weeks ago refusing to lay out how relatively benign cartoons about Mohammed were manipulated into tinder for Muslim fury and that is what now is happening when they tell you that the grisly torture death of Ilan Halimi was not the result of Islamist hate.

One must truly wonder over the Bizaro-world that American journalism has become when the correct analysis on Halimi comes from the likes of the French Communist newspaper, "Liberation" as translated here by Beila Rabinowitz:

"The whole nature of this affair - the combination of gangland criminality with exceptional sadism and a brute anti-Semitic instinct that equates Jews and money - gives it an extraordinary character that inspires both revulsion and dread."

The details of the brutal attack are covered in Update on Ilan Halimi, tortured and killed by French Muslims. Youssouf Fofana, the leader of the gang "The Barbarians", was born in France and attended college there. He is NOT "a down-and-out North African immigrant with no future stuck in a seething French Muslim ghetto and ignorant of Western ways."

Youssouf Fofana (pictured) has confessed to the kidnap, torture and murder of Ilan and been arested in Ivory Coast where he fled after the murder.

The crime struck horror in France's 500,000-strong Jewish community...

"The whole nature of this affair - the combination of gangland criminality with exceptional sadism and a brute anti-Semitic instinct that equates Jews and money - gives it an extraordinary character that inspires both revulsion and dread," said the leftwing newspaper Liberation.

"Hatred of Jews has left the category of the unacceptable to become something normal - especially in the eyes of many young people," it said. source

President Jacques Chirac and French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin assured the family that "everything shall be done to make sure those responsible for this act of barbarity are traced, caught and punished". So far, 13 people had been placed under judicial investigation (not arrest) in Paris. We will continue to follow this tragedy.
