UPDATE, Jan 9th: Why Do the Media Refer to ‘the Prophet Mohammed’?

"The title implies a particular view of a historical figure." 

NRO

... "It is no surprise that one does not hear “Jesus the Christ,” or some such variation, in the media. Unlike “Caesar Augustus” or “King David,” which report facts (Augustus was Caesar, David was king), whether Jesus was the foretold Christ is a matter of religious belief, and most reporters are keen to steer clear of that debate. When it comes to Mohammed, though, media sources implicitly side with those who accept that he was, in fact, “the Prophet.” That is not to say that they agree; they simply do not argue. Is that because contesting the claims of Christianity is primetime-television sport, while contesting the claims of Islam is taking one’s life in one’s hands? Perhaps that explains why CNN editorial director Richard Griffiths, explaining that his network would not show the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, referred simply to “the Prophet,” dropping the apparently redundant “Mohammed.' ” ...

"A soundbite of the President’s speech in 2012 was then shown, during which he blamed the Benghazi terrorist attack on, in the words of Henry, “an anti-Muhammad video' ”

Steyn: ‘Pansy-ified’ Western Media Step Up or Face Self-Censorship

“[T]he fact they won’t show you them after people have been killed for them, shows that we’re actually retreating, the media, which congratulates itself on its bravery as one of the most tedious institutions for handing out awards for its bravery — far more than firemen or soldiers do, the fact they didn’t even have the courage to show these cartoons after they became a news story is why these brave men at Charlie Hebdo had to bear the burden almost single-handed. And what the New York Daily News did is absolutely disgraceful and dishonors the dead.”

Paris attack lacked hallmarks of Islamist assaults in West

WaPo "The mass shooting at a satirical newspaper in France on Wednesday was a well-orchestrated assault by gunmen who fled the scene, setting it apart from most of the bombings and suicide attacks carried out by Islamist militants in the West.

"The ruthlessness of the attack and the nature of the target — a publication known for ridiculing Islam and other religions — suggested possible ties to a radical organization, U.S. officials and others said. But no group has asserted responsibility, and it remained possible that the assailants were homegrown radicals without any direct ties to groups such as al-Qaeda or the Islamic State." ...

Canada’s CBC: Paris Shooting May Deepen ‘Islamaphobia’ 

What exactly is irrational about pointing out that extreme Muslims are a danger? Or noting that Muslims kill non-Muslims — and even fellow Muslims of different sects — in every country they occupy? Isn’t it irrational to pretend otherwise?

At #CharlieHebdo, seconds counted but the police were minutes away, and unarmed "When Islamic radicals opened fire at the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo yesterday, a small group of French police officers rushed to the scene and then immediately fled—because they weren’t armed.

...Unarmed Paris Police Officers Forced to Flee as Armed Terrorists Attack

During the January 7 terror attack on the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, several Paris police officers fled, unable to disarm the threat, because they themselves were unarmed and outgunned.

Breitbart News previously reported that “black-hooded-men” with Kalashnikovs entered the Charlie Hedbo headquarters and opened fire, killing 12 people–including those who were killed outside the building as the gunmen headed back to their car.

CBS News relayed reports from Britain’s Telegraph newspaper that the first two officers to arrive “were apparently unarmed” and “fled after seeing gunmen armed with automatic weapons and possibly a grenade launcher.”

"This isn’t meant to be a jab at French police officers. They were simply operating within the confines of France’s law enforcement policies. In fact, two of them lost their lives in the attack."
