Michigan State University teaches journalism students to lie
…or why you never get the truth about Islam from the media
Author: barenakedislam‘Man-caused disasters’ and ‘Overseas contingency operations’ aside, prominent left wing universities like Michigan States are publishing manuals of ‘best practices for journalists reporting on Islam,’ that are nothing more than politically correct taqiyya (the Muslim art of deceiving infidels).
Live Leak - The manual, developed by Michigan State journalism students, includes sections on ethics, knowledge, objectivity and sources (depite the fact that none were used in the creation of this manual).
Under “Knowledge,” the manual says:“Do not make assumptions based on the connotation of words. As a reporter, you should research, investigate and understand the true meaning of words not used frequently in your native language to make sure the words are being used properly.

PLO leader slams US, German stance as 'counterproductive'
RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- "People do not negotiate their right to statehood. Rather, this is an inherent right," a PLO official lashed out Wednesday in the wake of US and German statements demanding Palestinian officials abort plans to seek UN recognition of statehood.

It may not come as surprising news to many of you that the United Nations doesn’t approve of our Second Amendment. Not one bit. And they very much hope to do something about it with help from some powerful American friends. Under the guise of a proposed global “Small Arms Treaty” premised to fight “terrorism”, “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates” you can be quite certain that an even more insidious threat is being targeted – our Constitutional right for law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms.
What, exactly, does the intended agreement entail?

In 2010, the Post’s Valerie Strauss reported that the Education Department was purchasing 27 Remington Brand Model 870 police 12-gauge shotguns to replace old firearms used by Education’s Office of Inspector General, which is the law enforcement arm of the department. DoE said the guns were necessary to help enforce “waste, fraud, abuse, and other criminal activity involving Federal education funds, programs, and operations.”
