STOP the Presses.

Wait!

"Scathing reaction?" Puh-leeze. They were burning down Amsterdam when those idiotic cartoons were published. These are the people who carried out 9/11. This is nothing.

This isn't a "scathing reaction." Look at the news sources, people! The media is trying to get it going. Geez, sometimes I think they are the real enemy.

I'm developing a different sense of our media lately. I honestly believe there is an effort underway to show the gaping differences between Islam and all other civilizations, religious, cultural and political. The result has been to intensify resolve against Islam, not lessen the resolve.

The recent ABC docudrama on 9-11 is a perfect example. The number of times Pakistan was included in not to glowing references was remarkable to me. I earnestly believe there is an effort by many in media to awaken our masses to the key role forces within Pakistan is undertaking to support and increase terrorism and the ever widening divide between Islam and the rest of the world. If Iran, Iraq and North Korea represented the "Axis of Evil", Pakistan is the hub.

If I am correct, our media must continue addressing these differences to prepare our nation for the inevitable next campaign against terrorism.

You have a point. It did however take a bit for the Amsterdam reaction.
