Who Was William Long? And Why Are Our Press and President So Silent?

an E-mail from Dr. Rich Swier

"Private William Long was murdered in cold blood yesterday. The 24-year old Army recruiter was mowed down outside the Army recruiting station where he worked by Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, a Muslim convert formerly known as Carlos Bledsoe. Muhammad wounded another soldier, Private Quinton Ezeagwula. The jihadist had recently returned from Yemen, where he studied his new faith under an Islamic scholar who apparently forgot to tell him that it was a “religion of peace.” Muhammad had been under investigation by the U.S. Federal Task Force on Terrorism. How did he get his weapons and commit these crimes when he was under investigation?

The sound you heard after this terrorist attack was silence. President Obama, who immediately condemned the murder of abortionist George Tiller on Sunday, still has not – 24 hours later – said one word about the cowardly attack on these soldiers. The U.S. Justice Department, which sent federal marshals yesterday to guard abortion clinics, has sent no one to guard our military recruitment offices, even though more than 100 of those offices have been attacked in recent years.

Big Media, which is doing its best to link the killing of George Tiller to the mainstream pro-life movement, is going out of its way to assert that there is no evidence that Abdulhakim Muhammad had any connection to Muslim groups. Only Fox News is giving any significant coverage to the attack.

The American media are failing to fulfill their responsibility to bring all the facts to the American people, even facts that don’t fit the media’s worldview. As for the president, he is the commander-in-chief. He is responsible for the well-being of our men and women in uniform. His silence in the face of this brutal attack is shameful. But I guess he was just too busy poring over drafts of his presidential proclamation declaring June “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.”"
