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." -------- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1261502/Female-suicide-bombers-Moscow-kill-30-attacks-tube-trains.html -------- 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: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8592190.stm -------- 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. -------- On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 12:06 PM, Eric Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm not the one showing his bigoted colors by posting complete bullshit that > I was told to think by some conservative pundit...idiot > > Do you goosestep as well? > > Eric > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
