The Anatomy of Advertising Deception Using Muslims

Where to begin? Let's start with the advertisement itself. One that has "stirred controversy" yet according to the company who put out the ad, SnoreStop, their new campaign is supposed to be about diversity while it purposely stirs controversy. They have chosen to portray "couples" Couples who you "don't see but which exist"


"As a snoring solution company, we're in the business of keeping people together," said Melody Devemark, spokeswoman and member of the family that owns the Camarillo, California-based company, in a press release. "So we found the most polarized couple and thought: 'If we can keep them together, we can keep anybody together.'"

The company said the ad is inspired by a real life couple -- veteran Jamie Sutton and his wife Aleah, who is Muslim. (source)

Note the spokeswoman says the ad was "inspired by". She does not claim the couple portrayed on the billboard is an actual couple. Or do they? Five days ago "Stefanianne" who claims to be part of the promotion claimed on her Instagram (note the comment by SlexyDayz and various hashtags)

Read what is purported in this San Diego FOX News report on the ad. "Officials said the models, U.S. soldier Paul Evans and his Muslim girlfriend are also a real couple."

Are they? Let's see. Starting with the female in the ad whose name is Lexi Panterra, "slexydayz" First question. Is Lexi a niqabi? Is this how she normally dresses as a conservative Muslim? You can judge for yourself from her own WEBSITE. HERE is a music video of Lexi's. Is niqab her attire as a conservative Muslim? Absolutely not.

Now ask yourself these questions:
1. While the FOX News article claims Lexi is Paul Evans' girlfriend. Ask yourself "do niqabis" have boyfriends? Besides, look at that wedding ring she is prominently showing on her finger on the billboard. The indication is that they are married.

2. Do conservative Muslim women marry non-Muslims? Answer is "no" they don't.Per Islam, Muslim women marry Muslim men. Do mixed marriages occur sometimes between Muslim women and non-Muslim men? Yes. Among secular Muslims, not conservative Muslims who wear niqab, absolutely not. Can a non-Muslim male convert (actual proper term in Islam is REvert) to Islam and marry a Muslim woman? Yes, it happens often.  So the billboard might lead a thinking person to "assume" that since they are a "couple" as the company claims, Paul Evans must also be Muslim which is a very reasonable assumptioin due to the fact that there are many Muslims serving in the US military. Of course the woman in the ad is identified easily as a Muslim because she is wearing niqab. Paul Evans however is only portrayed as a soldier with no religious identity indicated in any way. Is this purposeful on the part of the advertising company and SnoreStop? I would say "definitely" otherwise the company would have clearly stated this is a Muslim COUPLE, not just a soldier, Paul Evans with a niqabi who has stated ""You know, as soldiers, that's really what we fight for right there; I mean, we just want our freedoms, we just want that equality," . (source) I ask Mr. Evans, did the US have to fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, occupy those countries, in order for you and others to marry or DATE a conservative Muslim niqabi? Shades of WWII occupied Japan and Germany. Why not go further back and portray a US Calvary soldier with a Native American woman? After all, you became a soldier for "freedom" right?

3. Are Paul Evans and Lexi Panterra (who is not a niqabi) a couple as both the company and Paul Evans claim? One needs to go no further than Lexi's Instagram and Tumbler accounts to find the answer. On Halloween she posted an Instagram video "boyfriend's makeup" Is that Paul Evans in the video? No it is not. It is a man named Sebastian Praga. How long have Lexi and her boyfriend Sebastian Praga been together? That can be documented per her Tumbler account to some degree by the pictures she has posted of him there. October 18,2013 "My boyfriend does my makeup tag". You know conservative Muslim niqabis change out "boyfriends" easily right? They also take niqab on and off easily, one day making  sexy music videos, another day donning niqab as an ACTRESS in an ad to "keep couples together" by stopping snoring. 

SnoreStop must not work as claimed to "keep couples together" because if Paul Evans and Lexi Panterra were ever a couple in the first place, they sure aren't now! #product fail #advertising deception #fighting wars so you can have the freedom to DATE slexidayz who dresses up as a niqabi and is NOT a niqabi #using deception in advertising to "stir controversy" when your product does not work as advertised LOL.

To note, none of the above addresses the use of CONCOCTED political controversy when the US invasioins of Iraq resulted in the deaths of millions of Muslims and countless refugees, the longest US occupatiion of any country, Afghanistan which is an utter fail, the use of drones which have killed countless innocents.

That's a whole different aspect of this DECEPTIVE advertisement which is easily documented.

Hat's off to SnoreStop. You pulled a fast one all right.  Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Anatomy of Islamophobia: Rehash an OLD Story as New: Set LOSE in Internet Land: How the Clarion Project Did It

To open, what this story is not about. It is not about the Qatif Girl. She is but a prop in this instance, used by an organization that has rightfully been named as one of the top propagators of Islamophobia, The organization is the Clarion Fund, founded in 2006 by Canadian-Israeli Raphael Shore. Read about this organization HERE giving their history, and their agenda.

Now for the unfolding of the Anatomy of Islamophobia: the REHASH of an old news story, set lose on the Internet. How I saw this unfold (and it's still unfolding as more and more sites are posting this "news")

On Thursday Sept 26 Nick Kristoff posted the following on his Facebook page, linking to an article at Examiner.com by Timothy Whiteman (who Loonwatch wrote about in a very interesting article) Note how many followers Nick Kristoff has (623,734) Notice how many likes he received for the post.(1,084)

Then commenters, including myself, did just a bit of digging and realized that the article he had linked to, the story, had an uncanny resemblance to the story of the Qatif Girl. However, what the Whiteman article failed to note was that the Qatif Girl story was old news, she had been pardoned in December 2007 by King Abdullah. Whiteman's  story is alarming! It is NOW and the girl has had her punishment increased to 200 lashes just this week! Due to  proof of how this story seemed eerily similar to the Qatif Girl, Nick Kristoff wrote:

More comments ensued, namely by myself, noting that the Whiteman article that he had posted, sourced an article on the Clarion Fund website as the only source of his "news".  Note the date Whiteman says Clarion posted the article: Sept 22, 2013. 

I asked Kristoff to look into the the organization that had rehashed an old story as "news", leaving out the resolution of the story, the Qatif Girl's pardon. I asked him to look into the Clarion Fund because they are a top propagator of Islamophobia. He ignored me and eventually deleted the entire post writing: "

Nicholas Kristof Folks, I don't have confidence in this article any more, and I'm going to delete this post. I think it's the 2007 Qatif Girl case, just recycled.

When I tried linking to the Clarion Project link Whiteman gave, it didn't work (at that time). So I went to The Clarion Project's Facebook page and lo and behold it was there. That link worked. The article has since been removed from the Clarion Project's Facebook page. As well, the article date on the Clarion Project's website has been changed from September 22, 2013 to November 15, 2007 (in keeping with when the news was actually news) As well an UPDATE has been added at the bottom which reads

"Update: Since publishing this article it has been reported that Saudi King Abdullah took note of the negative media coverage surrounding this case and that resulted in his direct intervention in the case and the pardoning of the woman." 

That update was added yesterday morning after I left a comment there that has been deleted, calling them "Liars", this isn't news, and the Qatif Girl was pardoned in December 07. 

Unable to find the article in cache with the original date of Sept 22, I have found other proof that Clarion published the article as "news" on Sept 22, 2013. As well, since they did, this "news" has spread to page after page of Whiteman's article and Clarion's original article. Here is the screenshot of Googling this phrase "Clarion Saudi Arabia lashing: Note the date.

Now, here is what I would like you to do, read the comments on Whiteman's article. It's the usual, Saudi Arabia of course is mentioned, but most of the comments (as usual) are bashing all Muslims. Why? Because this is how it works in the Islamophobe Industry, search out every single thing you can find negative regarding Muslims and then paint all Muslims with that brush. Paint them all as women abusers. (and in Whiteman's case call the Clarion Project a "women's rights news portal which is beyond laughable) Yes Saudi Arabia is rife for use by the Islamophobe Industry but this is NOT about the Qatif Girl or Saudi Arabia, this is about smearing all Muslims any chance you can get, even if it means rehashing OLD news and omitting that the woman in question has been free since December 2007 and never received ANY lashings and lashings are certainly not imminent for her NOW. Indeed it is Whiteman's article that is spreading like wildfire across the internet, now on page after page NOT saying she was pardoned, but rather she is in danger NOW. Shark chum, and boy oh boy are they biting. They always do.

Now, just as Whiteman picked up Clarion's Sept 22nd "news" story, another journalist has also picked it up through other sources writing after Clarion's article and written his own story at opposingviews.com. Jonathan Vankin has listed his sources as New York Times, Daily Bhaskar and AP. Note the dates on the sources. The NYT article is from 2007, the AP article is from 2007 but the Daily Bhaskar article is dated Sept 27, 2013 and gets it ALL wrong saying the woman was raped on Sept 22 just last week! Notice that the Daily Bhashkar article sites the Clarion Project as the source. (apparently not reading it very thoroughly because Clarion states the case goes back to 2006) How could Jonathan Vanig who has so many credits to his name get it so wrong? Answer, he did, and he didn't put two and two together that the 2007 articles had an entirely different date on which the woman was raped! I have emailed Mr. Vankin but as of this moment he has not responded to me. How many times is Mr. Vankin's article now going to be shared in Internet Land? How many times is it going to be used NOW as shark chum to bash all Muslims? 

This latest shark chum all started with the Clarion Fund on Sept 22.  They have attempted to cover their tracks, but it doesn't work, for the proof is there above, they published on Sept 22 and since then one more "incident" has hit Internet Land. A woman is going to be lashed 200 times! Look at those EVIL Muslims who are doing this. 

That old saying, "Everything old is new again" applies.

To liars.
