				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/paul-hair/radio-free-europeradio-liberty-promotes-jihad-with-your-money/shill/" rel="attachment wp-att-183779"><img class=" wp-image-183779 alignleft" title="shill" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/shill-450x253.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="177" /></a><em>Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL)</em> recently published the story, <a href="http://www.rferl.org/content/occupy_wall_street_movement_gains_supporters/24350125.html">“Campaign Aims to Reclaim True Meaning of ‘Jihad’,”</a> which notes that, “The campaign’s slogan is, ‘Taking back Islam from Muslim and anti-Muslim extremists alike.’”</p>
<p>And who does<em> RFE/RL</em> identify as a so-called anti-Muslim extremist? Pamela Geller.</p>
<p>And who are the so-called moderate Muslims leading the jihad to take back the word “jihad”?</p>
<blockquote><p>Ahmed Rehab says his jihad is to take that word back.</p>
<p>With his own money and donations from supporters, the director of the Chicago office of the Council on Arab Islamic Relations has launched an ad campaign that promotes a lesser-known meaning &#8212; one he says is to “struggle to get to a better place, to improve one’s life and the lives of others, to do what’s right and not what’s easy.”</p></blockquote>
<p>(More on the <a href="http://www.radicalislam.org/analysis/cairs-campaign-whitewash-jihad">“MyJihad” campaign here</a>.)</p>
<p>The <em>RFE/RL</em> article does not mention <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/former-cair-leader-elected-to-head-syrian-rebels/">CAIR’s terrorist ties</a> or that it was an <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/former-cair-leader-elected-to-head-syrian-rebels/">unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing trial</a>. And the article does not critically examine the attempt to redefine Islam or the term, “jihad.”</p>
<p>But those who regularly read <em>RFE/RL</em> shouldn’t be surprised by this. After all, this <a href="http://www.rferl.org/info/management/2780.html">taxpayer-funded</a> outlet regularly publishes leftist propaganda.</p>
<p>Whether it is writing <a href="http://www.rferl.org/content/occupy_wall_street_movement_gains_supporters/24350125.html">glowing articles</a> on the <a href="http://www.rferl.org/content/where_does_occupy_wall_street_protest_go_from_here/24392799.html">Occupy Wall Street</a> insurrection, glorifying <a href="http://www.rferl.org/content/before-pussy-riot-act-up-confronted-church-and-won/24668230.html">Act Up and its war against the Catholic Church</a>, or seeking out the <a href="http://www.rferl.org/content/report-54-countries-rendition-support/24893993.html">George Soros-backed Open Society</a> to paint actual efforts to fight Islamic terrorism as “human rights abuses,” <em>RFE/RL</em> regularly advances a leftist agenda.</p>
<p>And remember how the Democratic-media complex went ballistic over “Innocence of Muslims”? Remember how <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/story/2012-09-12/Sam-Bacile-Anthea-Butler/57769732/1">college professors</a> and <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-chayes-innocence-of-muslims-first-amendment-20120918,0,3112718.story">former Department of Defense officials</a> called for curbing free speech in deference to Islam at the time?</p>
<p>Less than two months after that frenzy, <em>RFE/RL</em> celebrated the blaspheming of Christ in <a href="http://www.rferl.org/content/southpark-jesus-christ-free-pussy-riot-belarus/24757690.html">“‘South Park’ Enlists Christ to ‘Free Pussy Riot,’ Stand Up to Belarus’s Tanks”</a> even as it had deferentially reported on <a href="http://www.rferl.org/content/b-movie-behind-benghazi-bloodshed-antiislamic/24706092.html">how “Innocence of Muslims” offended the sensibilities of Muslims</a>.</p>
<p>Yet, <em>RFE/RL</em> doesn’t stand alone. <em>Voice of America</em> (<em>VOA</em>) is another <a href="http://www.insidevoa.com/info/about_us/1673.html">taxpayer-funded</a> organization producing leftist propaganda.</p>
<p><em>VOA</em> regularly publishes slanted articles such as, <a href="http://www.voanews.com/english/news/Supporters-Hail-US-Soldier-Tied-to-Wikileaks-as-Hero-135803613.html">“Supporters Hail US Soldier Tied to WikiLeaks as Hero,”</a> and <a href="http://www.voanews.com/english/news/usa/US-Mosques-Increase-in-Number-Despite-Post---911-Suspicions-140945593.html">“US Mosques Increase in Number Despite Post-9/11 Suspicions”</a>.</p>
<p>And then there are the outright leftist advocacy pieces like <a href="http://www.voanews.com/content/obama-decision-bring-hope-to-young-undocumented-immigrants/1249232.html">“Young Undocumented Immigrants Hopeful with US Policy”</a> that include paragraphs such as:</p>
<blockquote><p>“The visa expired, and we stayed,” explained Mukahhal. Since then, she has lived as an undocumented immigrant, existing in the shadows of society.</p>
<p>When this reporter first met Mukahhal, she was going door to door in suburban Chicago to encourage Muslim Americans to vote in the 2010 mid-term elections, a privilege she is denied.  At the time, Mukahhal did not share much personal information, out of fear of deportation. She was even reluctant to give her name.</p></blockquote>
<p>But it’s not just Islamic propaganda that <em>VOA</em> puts out; it’s leftist propaganda on the “social issues” as well.</p>
<p>In <a href="http://www.voanews.com/content/activists-say-Ugandan-homophobia-fueled-by-american-religious-right/1592941.html">“Activists Say Ugandan Homophobia Fueled by American Religious Right,”</a> <em>VOA</em> writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>The plight of Uganda’s gay community has come to the world’s attention in recent years thanks to a bill currently before parliament, informally known as the “Kill the Gays” bill, which originally included the death penalty for certain homosexual acts.  Senyonjo links the bill to a visit by American evangelical preacher, Scott Lively.</p>
<p>“When Scott Lively came over here, I attended what he was talking about at the Triangle Hotel, and after that he met a number of politicians,” said Senyonjo. “After all these meetings, then the bill was drafted, which was really anti-homosexuality.  And this has caused a lot of violence in some communities.”</p></blockquote>
<p><em>VOA</em> allows Scott Lively to be linked (wrongly) to advocating for the death penalty for “certain homosexual acts” in Uganda without refuting it. (Lively, by the way, is currently battling a George Soros-backed lawsuit accusing him of <a href="http://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen2/12a/lively_ccr_lawsuit/index.html">“crimes against humanity.”</a>)</p>
<p><em>VOA</em> also <a href="http://www.voanews.com/english/news/africa/Documentary-Looks-Into-Ugandas-Activist-Gay-Community-141303483.html">fuels the lie</a> that it was pro-morality forces responsible for the murder of David Kato, a Ugandan same-sex sexual relations advocate. In fact, it was <a href="http://www.turtlebayandbeyond.org/2012/homosexuality/ugandan-ambassador-tells-eu-killing-of-homosexual-activist-by-a-male-call-boy-was-not-homophobia-the-european-parliament-is-surprised-and-disappointed/">another man with whom Kato had sex (or tried to have sex) who killed him</a>.</p>
<p>But <em>RFE/RL</em> and <em>VOA</em> can’t be held entirely guilty for what they do. Although they produce leftist propaganda, <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2012/12/how-to-save-radio-liberty">they have the support of premiere conservative organizations</a> such as <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2010/05/dont-silence-voice-of-america"><em>The Heritage Foundation</em></a>.</p>
<p>So I guess we can’t be too upset about <em>RFE/RL</em> publishing <a href="http://www.rferl.org/content/occupy_wall_street_movement_gains_supporters/24350125.html">“Campaign Aims to Reclaim True Meaning of ‘Jihad’”</a> and labeling Pamela Geller an extremist while painting CAIR as moderates. After all, <em>RFE/RL</em> has bipartisan support.</p>
