Western Media should not treat Islam as a target of its insults in the name of freedom of press
The Arab Daily News ^ | January 10, 2015 | By Ali Younes

Posted on 01/10/2015 6:23:50 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Western media acts free of any legal and moral constraints to spread bigotry against Muslims, attack Islam, insults Prophet Mohammad, for no reason other than it can do so in the name of “ freedom of press” and with legal and moral sanction from the political establishments there. To attack Islam and Prophet Mohammad in the name of freedom of press is irresponsible and is a form of racism and intolerance.

In the minds of millions of decent and law abiding Muslims everywhere in the world, only Islam is treated in such irresponsible and racist manner by the western media.

The real question we should be asking ourselves here is why western media and European governments in their response to terrorism chose to insult and punish Islam and the broader community of Muslims for the actions of few criminals.

Just as Muslims say and preach that they should never respond to media insults and cartoons against their prophet and their religion with murder and terrorism, western media should, too, never respond to acts of terrorism by Muslim extremists by insulting Islam and the prophet.

Screw you achmed.

Islam should be treated the same way we treated the Germans, Italians, and Japanese of WWII.

All religious leaders have been the brunt of harsh jokes. Jesus, Joseph Smith, Moses, Buddha and Dalai. It just goes with the territory.

The best way to target Islam is through a scope.

Yeah, right. Remember the “Piss-Crescent-Moon” art exhibit? Remember seeing “The Book of Mohammed” on Broadway? I could go on all day.

The Ummah Militant, the latest iteration of the cult of Baal, strikes again.

Correct. Islam should be a target of our bombs until every last, filthy muzzie is dead.

He's right, Muslims shouldn't be targeted for insults in the media. They should just be targeted. For starters, France should eliminate the no go zones and restore civil society with as much force as necessary. Islam should be declared a terrorist blood cult and all Mosques closed and razed. None of that will happen of course with Hollande already declaring that the terrorist attacks had nothing to do with Islam.

The difference between an extremist Muslim and a moderate Muslim is that the extremist is ready willing and able to kill you and the moderate Muslim is ready, willing and able to celebrate when he does.

Islam should not treat Western Media as a target of its primitive 3rd world violence in the name of a murderous pedophile prophet

Fixed it

And as soon as the "peaceful islamists" stop responding to minor torts with outlandish and repugnant violence, perhaps the West will stop making disparaging comments about islam...

“millions of decent and law abiding Muslims everywhere in the world”............

Law abiding? Decent? Everywhere in the World? Has to be in their OWN world because it’s not in ours.

When Islam stops beheading Westerners and attempting to convert the world by murder and rape, then you can lecture us on how we should behave.

He’s been well trained in keyword arguments by liberals in the West.

I promise him I will treat Mohammed with all the respect a man who was a muderous caravan raiding pedophile deserves.

Why do Muslims not eat pigs?

They're against Cannibalism.
