Facts vs Fantasy

Statistics that make you wonder whose side the main-stream-media are on:

The Daily Telegraph UK listed a telling statistic last year. "It is not Jews, Christians, or even Americans who are leading the pack with regard to Muslim Genocide but rather other Muslims.  Some 11,000,000 Muslims have been violently killed since 1948 of which 35,000 or 0.3% died during sixty years of fighting Israel.  The truth is that 90% of the 11 million were killed by fellow Muslims."

You wouldn't know it by reading (most of) the daily newspapers around the world.

The Organisation of the Islamic conference's (OIC) website has a category called "Islamophobia Observatory."  It lists perceived cases of Islamophobia around the world.  All the while ignoring the glaring statistical rise in terrorist attacks by Muslims.  The Religion of Peace website tracks deadly terrorist attacks.  Currently, the number of terrorist attacks committed by Muslims since 9/11 stands at 17,005.  The breakdown for February 2011 was 134 jihad attacks, in 20 countries, against 5 religions, killing 565 and critically injuring 1058.

Numbers don't lie.  Yet, the OIC, the UN, and Obama continue claiming what a peaceful religion Islam is while portraying Jewish "settlers" as the biggest roadblock to peace.  Just as "Islamophobic" Americans are being set up as the biggest roadblock to a peaceful existence for Muslims in America.  Such logic would be laughably absurd if the consequences weren't so deadly.     

Joseph Goebbles, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda once said,  "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

How much does truth stand for in the West today? Why has there been such an attack on truth?
The fact is that facts are facts, what matters is how and in what context you choose to report them. That ultimately is what determines whether your aim is to manipulate, confuse or inform.
