It is reassuring to read comments expressing outrage at the use of people with down syndrome deployed as suicide bombers. Unfortunately, it is not “new” as this story implies in its headline. This has been a consistent trademark of radical Islam.
What is new, however, is the mention of this fact on U.S. newswire coverage. Do a search of this event and you will see most of the mention of the down syndrome angle was carried by non-U.S. papers. I have to ask why is this despicable fact now getting some exposure in America–is it because the bombing occurred in a market for house pets?
Network T.V. news has yet to feature this angle so this side of Alqeada has yet to reach the kitchen table of Middle America. This is just one more example of the treasonus bias by the MSM in reporting only half truths from Iraq. The effort to paint radical Islam as victim is just shameful.
Anyone who has interacted with someone born with down syndrome can attest to the unconditional trust and love given by these individuals. Of course, this truth might be lost on the media and medical eletes who measure the value of life only for its utility.
Maybe the reluctance by network news execs and big city newspaper editors to feature this angle is the fact if falls right in line with their blind prompotion of Planned Parenthood and the progressive agenda of eugenics.
