I’m convinced that there’s a parlor game going on inside major American newsrooms.

Almost seven years ago, The Washington Post set a new standard for horribleness in headlining by describing the recently deceased head of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as an “austere religious scholar.” This was woke euphemism on a level so thoroughly bonkers that most media watchers thought it could never possibly be topped.

The parlor game is an attempt to topple it, of course. And while the death of the thankfully late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave the media some practice when applying the principle to Islamist scoundrels, The New York Times’ attempt to whitewash (in more ways than one) the events outside Gracie Mansion this weekend really does deserve some plaudits in this race to the bottom of the honesty barrel.

So, just in case you’re catching up to this one, six people were arrested after homemade explosive devices were tossed by leftist pro-Islamist counter-protesters outside of Gracie Mansion, the home of theNew York City mayor, on Saturday.

The improvised explosives were hurled sometime after noon at forces allied with Jake Lang, a controversial right-wing influencer who was leading a march to “stop the Islamification of NYC,” according to theNew York Post. Late Sunday, the Post reported, “FBI agents raided the Pennsylvania homes of the two ISIS-inspired extremists accused of hurling” the bombs.

The FBI’s Evidence Response Team searched the Langhorne homes of Ibraham Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, on Sunday after the radicals were busted for allegedly throwing homemade IEDs during a violent clash between right-wing agitators backing Jake Lang and pro-Muslim counter-protesters Saturday afternoon.

Photos showed agents hauling evidence, including what looked like computer parts, from Balat’s home. …

The makeshift bombs — a sports drink bottle stuffed with TATP and wrapped in construction tape — were lobbed at Lang’s crew as the rival demonstrators squared off near Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Big Apple residence during a planned anti-Muslim rally organized by the “white supremacist.”

The deadly devices — packed with the terrorist-favored volatile explosive known as “Mother of Satan” — fortunately failed to detonate, after police swiftly secured the bombs, removed the lethal mix and ended the threat.

So obviously, unpleasant stuff, and we’re lucky that nobody got killed at the event. It’s also worth noting that the men gave no question as to what their motives were, yelling “Allahu Akbar” before the explosives were thrown. Best not to keep us guessing, I suppose.
