I don't think I've read one major media story on Islamic terrorism that questioned the assertion that critics of Islam are racist bastards (see U.S. Lawmakers Take Aim at Homegrown Terrorist Threat).

According to experts, young, middle-class American Muslims are most at risk — men who don't know a lot about their religion and in an effort to educate themselves fall victim to an extreme ideology.

Yet American Muslim groups say that formula amounts to racial profiling.

"Giving parameters as far as race, religious views or age groups really misses the point. We should be much more sophisticated in the way we approach threats against our country," Shora said.

U.S. lawmakers also are looking at ways of addressing the root causes of homegrown terrorism.

Notice the sucking vacuum from the quote which is the absence of a suggestion on how to deal with domestic terrorist recruiting. I seem to remember that the biggest threat of domestic terrorism used to be from white separatist groups. I don't recall anybody saying the FBI was racially profiling white losers. For that matter, I don't remember anyone crying on behalf of the white separatist nut-jobs' culture and religion. Where was the redneck version of CAIR?

So back to modern terrorism and the media. It's apparent the media, in general, have gone out of their way to appear non-judgmental toward the root cause of most terrorism, radical Islam. Notice, I wrote "most", acknowledging the small percentage of anti-technologists, abortion clinic bombers, militant IRA members, as well as soccer hooligans. The old guard terrorists never hired PR firms and used AP stringers to evoke sympathy through staged and doctored photographs. While claiming it's only a few radical Muslims who are terrorists, the entire Islamic community frequently circles the wagons around this supposed few.

Back in the day when our homegrown white-supremest terrorists ruled the roost, the media wasn't so kind. However it is hard to sympathize with backward-thinking, inbred, stone aged, misogynistic, cousin-marrying, Jew-hating, bomb-making, isolated-terrorist-camp-training, government-hating, theocratic, socially retarded imbeciles who want to force everybody else to conform to their twisted world view. And that goes for the white separatists too.
