More Lipstick on a Pig Courtesy the Carnegie Foundation
The Carnegie Foundation is playing the “Lets Put Lipstick on a Pig” game by financing more Islamic taqiyyah.
The Carnegie Corporation of New York has announced grants totaling $10 million to nonprofits working to enrich the quality of America’s public dialogue on Islam and Muslim societies.
OK. I’m game. Here is an example of typical Muslim “dialogue”. Enrich this:
Al-Qaida stepped up its calls to kill Jews.
Ayman al-Zawahri, the Osama bin Laden lieutenant who last month urged Muslims to strike Jews “everywhere” in revenge for an Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, issued an even more expansive threat Thursday.
“We promise our Muslim brothers that we will do the best we can to harm Jews in Israel and the world over, with Allah’s help and according to his command,” Zawahri said in an audiotape released online.
The remarks, which were in response to e-mailed questions from al-Qaida supporters and came with an English translation, linked the sought-after fall of Israel to the sought-after failure of the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
“I expect the jihadi influence to spread after the Americans’ exit from Iraq and to move towards Jerusalem,” Zawahri said.
A fugitive from the regime of Hosni Mubarak, Zawahri predicted the demise of the pro-Western governments in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. But he had especially hostile words for the United Nations, calling it an “enemy of Islam” for its vote on creating the State of Israel in 1948.(Source)
CAIR and like organizations administer their taqiyyah to the simple folks, those who, for the sake of brevity, can be described as having the intellectual and moral depth of a typical Oprah audience. They are the somnolent thousands who brightly shake hands and grin ear to ear at CAIR’s ubiquitous “outreach” functions, typically held in benign Christian churches.
The muslim guest speaker is American to a ‘T’, his wife presenting a soft and elegantly veiled visage, bright and shining children at their side. A few sad tales are told of “malicious hate crimes”, a plea for understanding ensues, and your typical American audience feels warm and cozy and congratulates themselves on how worldly they are, how global. Very few bother to question what they have heard.
On the other hand, Carnegie’s target audience are those who have the power to silence the rest of us. To dictate what ends up in textbooks, to facilitate sharia compliant financing, to determine what hate crime legislation is rammed through government, what speech to prosecute,what Hollywood films get produced, and on and on.
Over the past six months, the corporation has worked to integrate a focus on Islam into many of its long-term programs, supporting innovative publicly accessible research by individual scholars; efforts to address Islamic religious and political thought in the media; outreach by universities to connect their research to the public; and efforts to inform specific audiences, including members of Congress, about the complex and rapidly changing landscape of contemporary Islam. (All bold mine)
“…publicly accessible research by individual scholars…”
Would that happen to include any of the following?
Or the myriads of other experts; ex-muslims and ex-terrorists who are consistently excluded from the world stage, a stage monopolized by entities such as Carnegie who use Islam as proxy to silence a growing body of citizens who see exactly what Carnegie wishes to whitewash.
“…efforts to address Islamic religious and political thought in the media…”
Could that possibly mean that the media will quit carrying water for Muslim apologists? Or, as this writer asks:
To be sure, Americans know relatively little about Islam. They also know relatively little about Hinduism, Buddhism and Shintoism and not a few other things besides. Just why is it the special duty of American newspapers to make Americans knowledgeable about Islam? And is it really plausible that newspapers could accomplish this task? (source)
So far all evidence confirms that media worldwide haven’t the spine to confront the ugly truth of Islam. Quite the contrary, they are going out of their way trying to paint the very readers that they presume to educate as spittle flecked haters.
I have been talking with a producer of the NBC Dateline show and he is in the process of filming a piece on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discrimination in the USA. They are looking for some Muslim male candidates for their show who would be willing to go to non-Muslim gatherings and see if they attract any discriminatory comments or actions while being filmed.
They recently taped two turbaned Sikh men attending a football game in Arizona to see how people would treat them. They set them up with hidden microphones and cameras…
“…outreach by universities to connect their research to the public…”
Perhaps while they are dealing with these universities, Carnegie might want to evaluate the pervasive censorship by the Muslin Student Association and their allies in suppressing any speech that dares to criticize islam. Is the truth that Islam lays claim to, and that billions are expended in defense of, so fragile, so tenuous that no opposing view can be risked?
“…and efforts to inform specific audiences, including members of Congress, about the complex and rapidly changing landscape of contemporary Islam..”
Why would Carnegie bother to address Congress? For the most part, those rats are already owned, either by their cowardice or by an Arab. And it doesn’t take an endowment from Carnegie for someone to take note of the changing landscape” in any nation where there is a preponderance of Muslims. The following is a mere glace at the topography of a world rotted by Islam.
4/6/2008 (Peshawar, Pakistan) - Islamic militants ambush vehicles along a highway, killing at least three locals.
4/6/2008 (Afgoye, Somalia) - A 9-year-old boy is among two people murdered when Islamists stage a shooting attack.
4/6/2008 (Mogadishu, Somalia) - Seven people are shot to death by Muslim radicals in two attacks at a market.
4/5/2008 (Khaneqin, Iraq) - Four oil workers are kidnapped and beheaded. Four other innocents are killed elsewhere by Jihadis.
4/5/2008 (Baghdad, Iraq) - Sunni extremists bomb a bus, killing three people.
4/5/2008 (Sanaa, Yemen) - An al-Qaeda gunmen attacks a checkpoint killing one person. (Source)
And Carnegie could have saved the 50K designated for “…the ADC Research Institute to disseminate information on civil rights and civil liberties violations affecting Arab and Muslim Americans post-September 11, 2001.The documented refutations of Muslim claims of offense and malice are quite freely found online.
CAIR’s Hate Crimes Nonsense
CAIR Pushes Phony Charges of Anti-Muslim Hysteria, Hate Crimes
As Hugh Fitzgerald comments in the Iconoclast piece, these monies perpetuate the
Sphere: Related Content…continued inability to see that Muslims themselves must be forced to consider the possibility that their political, economic, social, moral, and intellectual failures are directly attributable to Islam itself…

Do I really have to explain the difference? You quote a paragraph from one such “hasbara” site and that is supposed to somehow discredit the points made in the post. I do not have to cherry pick through Islam to demonstrate the perversity of the creed.
Muslims demonstrate the depravity of their “faith” everyday and the propaganda Carnegie hopes to use to deflect and deceive will only be effective on, well, dhimmis like you.
