10/22/18, "Why the Washington Post Fears the Freedom Center," Daniel Greenfield, FrontPageMag
"We’re making a difference and the media is trying to stop us."...
"The media’s power comes from driving the narrative, not just at the
breakfast table, but in the Senate cloakroom, the legislative chambers,
and in the Oval Office....
It was the third week of Khashoggimania. And some difficult questions were being asked.
The Washington Post had provided Jamal Khashoggi, a Hamas supporter and an old friend of Osama bin Laden,
with column space in which to promote the agenda of the Muslim
Brotherhood.
It had seized on the pretext of his disappearance and death
to fracture the coalition against Iran and advocate regime change in
Saudi Arabia. These had also been Khashoggi’s two fundamental Islamist
goals.
Advocating Muslim Brotherhood regime change under the
guise of human rights had worked in Egypt, Libya, and other countries in
the Arab Spring. But it faltered in Syria when people started asking
difficult questions about the “secular” and “democratic” Muslim
Brotherhood and Al Qaeda militias.
Now the Washington Post
was concerned that members of Congress were asking tough questions
about Khashoggi, a “secular” and “democratic” Islamist advocating regime
change in Saudi Arabia....
It argued that some unnamed and unquoted “experts on the Middle East”
claimed that Khashoggi had adopted a “more liberal, secular point of
view.”
This absurd lie is belied by Khashoggi’s own Washington Post editorial advocating for the Muslim Brotherhood. Earlier this year, Khashoggi insisted that
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman “does not have the answer to
what moderate Islam means,” but that it was Muslim Brotherhood clerics
like Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi who had invented “moderate Islam.” Qaradawi had praised Hitler for killing Jews in the Holocaust, and expressed his desire that the next Holocaust be carried out by Muslims."...
