Excerpt:
The International Islamic News Agency (IINA) reported Sunday that "in a bid to run correct news reporting about Muslims, two American universities have launched a project to teach journalists how to tackle Islam-related issues. ... Titled 'Covering Islam in America,' the project was co-launched earlier this week by Washington State University and the Poynter Institute's News University."
The course, we're told, "is designed to prepare reporters to run accurate information when reporting about Muslims and Islam-related issues." Developed by Lawrence Pintak, a former CBS News Middle East correspondent, the course "covers a wide range of topics on Islam ranging from the Islamic teachings and the history of Muslim immigration to the role of women in Islam and the relationship between Islam and Christianity."
We certainly could use some accurate information about Islam. The mainstream media is universally fawning and obsequious when it comes to reporting about the global jihad and Islamic supremacism. Journalists consistently downplay or ignore altogether the invocations of the Koran and Muhammad's example that Islamic jihadists make on a routine basis, and continually assume that any Muslim who is not actively engaged in terror activity is a "moderate"—as the jihadist Imam Anwar al-Awlaki was dubbed in a glowing portrayal in the New York Times shortly after 9/11.
