I don't care about Islam one way or another, it's just another
religion. But CNN is shamelessly avoiding any mention of a significant
and relevant element of the story.

Let's examine a few other stories covering the topic and see if CNN is
the only one that has self-censored the words "muslim" and "islamist"
out of a story about a horrible act of violence that was more than
likely perpetrated by Islamist suicide bombers.

Meanwhile, among the press that isn't cowed into terror by threats
from Islamist groups and/or political correctness (funny, isn't that
how terrorism works?):

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/29/AR2010032900099_pf.html
--------
"MOSCOW (Reuters) - Two female suicide bombers killed at least 38
people on packed Moscow metro trains on Monday, stirring fears of a
broader campaign in Russia's heartland by Islamists from the North
Caucasus."

--------
The two bombs are the worst attack on the Russian capital for six
years and no group has yet claimed responsibility.

But suspicion has fallen on Muslim militants from the North Caucasus,
where the Kremlin is fighting a growing Islamist insurgency spreading
from Chechnya to neighbouring Dagestan and Ingushetia.
---------------

even the Islamist-worshipping BBC has an oblique reference to
Islamists, although making no reference to who might have:

Despite this, the mainly Muslim republic continues to be plagued by
violence, and over the past two years Islamist militants have stepped
up attacks in neighbouring Ingushetia and Dagestan.
