Much as summer follows spring and lootings follow natural disasters in major cities, media narratives about “Islamophobia” quickly follow every Muslim terrorist attack.

How long it takes varies depending on the death toll, how shocking the attack is, and what else is in the news.

After the New Orleans Car Jihad attack, how long did it take the media to pivot over to describing Muslims as the real victims?

On Jan 3, The Dallas Morning News had already run its obligatory moral inversion narrative. “North Texas Muslim leaders react to New Orleans attack, brace for rise in Islamophobia.”

The local ‘public’ outlet, Houston Public Media, waited an extra day to post, “‘This act has no place in Islam.’ Houston Muslims worry about Islamophobia after New Orleans attack”.

The Dallas Morning News, of course, led with a quote from CAIR with no mention of its support for terrorism. CAIR claimed that “bottom-feeding extremist groups have been rejected by the overwhelming majority of the Muslim world.”

Since CAIR’s leaders have defended Hamas and celebrated Oct 7, they presumably don’t believe it to be extremist or bottom-feeding.

The vast majority of quotes came from CAIR, but the Dallas Morning News also found time to talk to someone from the nearly as awful Islamic Society of North America.

Houston Public Media also centered Islamists complaining about ‘Islamophobia’ after 9/11.

And so once more, the moral inversion of Islamic terrorism is complete.
