More Media Fun

What do Christian girls being beheaded in Indonesia and coordinated explosions killing dozens in India have in common?

Well, for starters, the AP refuses to say that muslims were responsible for both atrocities.

Here's the opening from the first story:

[[ Three teenage Christian girls were beheaded and a fourth was seriously wounded in a savage attack on Saturday by unidentified assailants in the Indonesian province of Central Sulawesi. ]]

That's it. The article talks a little about past Christian/muslim fighting, but stops way short of connecting that to the current beheadings. Is it really a stretch? Let's see: Christians were beheaded... hmmm... now, who hates Christians and loves to behead people...?

Now, the second story:

[[ Coordinated explosions in India's capital ripped through at least two markets jammed with evening shoppers ahead of an upcoming Hindu festival and a bus, killing at least 49 people.

Officials blamed terrorists for the blasts... ]]

Hmmm... "terrorists," eh? Who was it that said, "Not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslims"? Okay... bombs... crowded marketplace... Hindus. Who loves bombs and hates Hindus...?

When will the media start calling out the true name of the enemy of mankind? It will be very hard to win the long war without better coverage.

Beheadings linger from a "religious" war. But apparently wars are not started by religions, rather by ego-vested interests. See The Christian Prophet blog:
