So the truth isn't important when you are trying to push a narrative?

Martians are slowing taking over the government!

According to the WH, it doesn't matter if that is a lie because the threat is real! /boggle

It would appear that the Trump administration is just as (un)ethical as Project Veritas...

it sounds like the typical line of "i was trying to start a conversation" you hear when some one lies about rape or fakes a hate crime.

Almost as if that would be the point and now the left will have to defend this to keep their argument or rewrite history again

This is the first I’ve heard anyone call Project Veritas unethical. Explain?

Really?

They just recently paid a woman to lie about being raped...in order to prove that women are paid to lie about being raped.

The Washington Post was able to 'blow her cover' because she made a GoFundMe page with her own name.

"I’ve accepted a job to work in the conservative media movement to combat the lies and deceipt of the liberal MSM. I’ll be using my skills as a researcher and fact-checker to help our movement. I was laid off from my mortgage job a few months ago and came across the opportunity to change my career path.”

In a March posting on its Facebook page, Project Veritas said it was seeking 12 new “undercover reporters,” though the organization’s operatives use methods that are eschewed by mainstream journalists, such as misrepresenting themselves.

Not the best way she could have phrased it, but Islam actually is an enemy of western society.

No it isn't. Don't be so obtuse.

There are about 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. A relative few want a holy war. Islam is not western's enemy.

That’s your opinion. I look at the actual written word standing in stark contrast with western values such as freedom for everyone, be them women, gays, what have you, combined with sudden surges of economic migrants and refugees and fear for the potential extent the inevitable cultural clashes that are bound to result. It’s already happening in Europe small scale but where was this all 15 years ago? It’s a recent development in world history. Plus the more people that come in the worse it will get and then what? I for one don’t want to let it get to that point.

And yet Muslims still are the primary perpetrators of religious-motivated terror, murder, etc etc. take a day to study up on what is in the Quran and what most Muslims actually believe because you seem like you don’t have much of a clue.

Are they?

Since then — from Sept. 12, 2001, to Dec. 31, 2016 — there have been 85 attacks in the country by violent extremists resulting in 225 deaths. GAO reported citing data from the U.S. Extremist Crime Database.

Of those 225 deaths:

• 106 individuals were killed by far-right violent extremists in 62 separate incidents;

• 119 individuals were killed by radical Islamist violent extremists in 23 separate incidents;

And yet Muslims still are the primary perpetrators of religious-motivated terror, murder, etc etc. take a day to study up on what is in the Quran and what most Muslims actually believe because you seem like you don’t have much of a clue.

I spent a year of my life working with Muslims every day in Iraq. How about you? How much interaction have you had with Muslims? Breitbart and Fox News don't count.
