Journalists’ guide to Islam called cave-in to political correctness
Not just caving in. These people are enthusiastic serfs of Islam:
“Islam for Journalists”: Journalists for Sharia censorship
Robert Spencer puts this sellout through the shredder.
Founding dean of the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University Lawrence Pintak (inset) recently co-edited an e-book meant to be a field guide for journalists when reporting on Islamic issues.
A “how-to” guide published by a prominent journalism school to help reporters covering Islam-related issues is under fire from critics who say it sacrifices the First Amendment to political correctness.
“Islam for Journalists,” an online guide from Washington State University, says coverage of the Muslim world can be fair, yet inoffensive without compromising journalistic principles. Yet it pointedly condemns publication of images of Muhammed, an act which is forbidden by the Koran, and seems to equate it with violence carried out in the name of Islam.
