I must of missed something

The muslim world again is in a total uproar, well covered in the media (enabling them a little don't you think)about a misunderstood comment by the Pope. Yet each day muslim clerics pointedly, publically and directly condemn christianity, America or whoever and not a peep from the media. And no apologies requested or required on offending the infidel.

The way the media is portraying it, supports the every muslim bias, I do not, a bit of comman sense. I have read the Koran, I understand Joe Ahkmed the muslim is usually just a pawn in the game.

If it is such a minority, why does the media splash it on the front page, and in the sensationalized styling they are currently using.

Are you honestly trying to argue that the majority of Muslim's are extremists? If you are we can stop right now, you have just gone senile.

I would love to see what he can come up with for that arguement.

Lets try this again. The minority (the extremist) as a matter of policy, fermets sectorian violence among the many (joe average muslim)in order to further thier goals. They (the minority extremists)view thier holy book with a bias that condones thier actions, against other sects within thier religion who do not believe as they do in thier readings,and the infidel (us, the non-believer).

My primary concern here is the media portrayal of these radicals. When they see the coverage in western media it emboldens and enables them as they see thier minority message seen as the majority to joe average christian, furthering the anti-islam feeling, hense an easier job in fermenting support within thier communities. We ignore and not cover these views, the purpose is no longer clear and the movement slows.

Tolga & Whale's point aside, you are inventing conspiracies here, OS.

The media just wants to make a sale.

"Muslim insults Christianity" won't sell any papers.

"Muslims angry about statement by Pope" sells papers.

Simple, really

well put. my only problem is why it still makes money. you'd think reporting the same thing over and over would de-sensitize the audience to the issue or at the very least cause them to look for some other issue to learn about/pursue.
