Yup, exactly, I agree.

In the article you linked earlier, religion is a major factor no matter how much anyone tries to downplay that, in this case that religion is Islam, and followers of Islam are muslims. What are they if not muslims? Im sorry that Islam is used as a motive to do bad, but that is not the fault of media who calls followers of Islam, muslims.

A group calls themselves Moro Islamic Liberation Front and they want to set up Moro Islamic state, but calling them muslims is spinning the story with buzzwords? Im sorry but I find that position so totally ridiculous and baseless to be used as illustrating society's stupidity, if anything it illustrates that we can still call a duck a duck and sanity hasnt totally lost in front of political correctness.

Well, I still dont get it, perhaps you can explain it to an idiot why this article isnt westophobic rant?

I agree with Whatsthepoint(as usual), so there is nothing to add from me .

Great article I enjoyed it and I don't tend to visit world affairs since I dislike the crowd here and their expected notional response even to something aimed to expose human folly!

I think the point here in the west reguarding our media, is just this, we as westerners are satisfied with what we see on tv, and have no need to look out side the box, the media in the west, very much sugar coats the news to the gov. liking and not what really is going on, here or anywhere else, and a comment on Timothy Mc. only was religion brought in when they had not much else to proceed with, and how about David koresh (they had to explain it some how)...now let's get to the christian protesters on abortion, (I agree that it is a bad thing to do), however, there are hundreds even thousands of evil acts, being brought on by this religion like protests, killings, and even hatered, but where are the broadcasts from the media on this subject? Rarely mentioned...hmmm......But the media doen't hessatate to exploit the radicals in the muslim religion, now all of us as beleiveres in god, do you punish everyone for a few others mistakes? No of course not, so why do they pick and choose? Because it's to the westerners benefit to try and show how bad one is than another. Except there own or course....

Murder, Hatred, and Blasamy are all NO NO's, any religion, any belief !!!!

Some of these things (some points i'm not sure about/don't agree with) will only escalate muslim hostility towards the west. So instead of fighting extremism it just pours more gasoline into the fire.

So basically, due to the way extremism/terrorism is being combated, the more it is fought, the more it all backfires.

I'm not sure if you already understood that or not, though, i could have possibly been explaining something else.

No I think Muslims are looking for things to offended them and when they can't find them they get offended anyway. Christians do the same thing.
