#1: Who offered praise and respect for Mohammed?

#2: Which talking head dismissed Centanni's "praise God" statement as an emotional reaction?

#3: Which talking head said Islam is respected by everyone?

#4: Which talking head mentioned the plight and suffering of the Palestinian people by the Israelis?

Your post is filled with hyperbole and outright lies.

Tivo your Fox feed. I watched it. Shep Smith was the most profuse in his comments about Islam. This was between 5:15 and 6:30 central.

[speaking of "the media" in general, since that seems to be the main burr under your saddle vis-a-vis armsf]

Who offered praise and respect for Mohammed?

Every time you read or hear the phrase, "The Prophet Mohammed" in a news report, you have just observed "praise and respect for Mohammed". The only thing missing is "pbuh", and frankly I would not be surprised to see it included too within the next year or so at the rate things are headed.

And if you think I'm being "oversensitive", then puhleeze let me know the last time (or even the next time!) you hear these same "media voices" reference "The Savior Jesus" in a news report. (Note, quoting a source in a story does not count. I'm speaking of the reporter using his own words, to routinely invoke that appellation, as is commonly done for "The Prophet" -- at least, since 9/11.)

Let's cut to the chase.

The media fears the islamists, and using the phrase, "The Prophet Mohammed" is considered a no-cost insurance premium to "avoid offending" them. The media does NOT fear Christians (after all, unlike Islamists, Christians won't go medieval on you if you offend them), thus, Christians, rather than receiving solicitous kowtowing, are treated with condescending if not outright contemptuous terminology.

If not for these factors, then either both phrases would be used, or neither would be used. Logically, it's IMO a no-brainer: neither would be used. But, because of the fear of muslims, muslims get the "respectful" treatment.

And lest anyone think I take this matter lightly, I would call you to consider the case of one Salman Rushdie, who "offended the Islamists", and now lives -- year after year after year -- with the knowledge that there are thousands of eager folk ready to kill him if only they get the opportunity. Already, several innocents HAVE been murdered by these ROP-members, for the "sin" of having worked with Rushdie (i.e., his Japanese translator and others).

It's serious business.
