Just the other day an adult male (I'd rather not call him a 'man') went into a Muncie, Indiana Goodwill store and began preaching Islam. In the course of his sharing the glad tidings of the religion of peace, he snatched an elderly woman by her throat and began choking her while screeching, "Allahu Akbar!" The weirdo was identified as Khaliad Bilal. Sounds like a Hispanic or maybe Irish name, to me - though I want to avoid profiling. I can't be certain, of course.
I mentioned the incident to my friends on Facebook. And one of my liberal acquaintances dismissed it as 'fake news'. I challenged that. And she responded, "You can Google it for yourself! It's not on CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, NPR, PBS - none of them!" I did, and she was right. It was a genuine piece of news that first appeared in a Muncie paper, 'The Ball State Daily’, and then spread like a rash around the Internet on all sorts of grassroots publications. But the big six seemed to have missed it. So, to her and a growing number of Americans - it wasn't real.
