I know, I read the one you posted, I am not blind, but it isnt anything I am seeing on TV over here yet. I was just pointing out that there is more fear of muslim reprisals than there is of violence against muslims.

Both articles however lead me to believe that people are still having trouble seperating in their minds the difference between an everyday normal person who practices Islam, and a terreroist though, which is sad.

You hear about as much about violence against muslims over here as you hear about muslims condeming the terrorists.

Which imho only leads to more hate and fear , as if that is what the medias goal is...to promote scandal and fear, to get "rateings"...which I guess shouldnt be all that surprising considering all the majior media here is controled by corperate interests, which means all they really care about is profit.

Violence against muslims is not nearly as wide spread as fear of them by any means from what I can tell.

Personally I think pictures would be part of transparency, its not like the terrorists are going to become any less pissed off at us, I also think he should have brought the body back first for further proof, as his detractors will only use the burial at sea thing to add further fuel to their belicose attacks and partisanship.

Now they are talking about blowing the building up where it all happened (which is quite useless imho), it won't prevent any shrine building anyway, if they want a shrine to a terrorists those who wish for it will build one of their own regardless.
