Here's a joke (unknown author) I've just received. I edited the name of the country (a muslim country) originally written by the author and replaced it with "Mid-easterner".
A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York .
Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog.
He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life.
A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl".
The man says: "But I am not a New Yorker!"
Oh then it will say in newspapers in the morning:
"Brave American saves life of little girl" the policeman answers.
"But I am not an American!" - says the man. Oh, what are you then?"
The man says: "I am a Mid-Easterneri!"
The next day the newspapers say: "A Terrorist kills innocent American dog".
Below is the original posting.
I remember receiving an email long time ago which I tried to dig out from my email vault, but I could not find it. It was written something like this:-
- A muslim girl with a headscarf is a religious extremist whereas a christian girl with a head scarf is a nun.
- The suicide bomber was Ali, an Islamic terrorist, whereas, the building was bombed by a terrorist named John..
Nevertheless, the following was received recently:-
Killers - The way they reported it (if it was Muslim)
Muslim killed daughter for the "dishonour" of having boyfriend
Devote Muslim father kills daughter
Killers - The way they reported it (if it was non-Muslim)
Fathers who kill their children
Incest Crime (if it was Muslim)
Incest Crime (if it was non-Muslim)
John Earnest Deaves and his daughter, Jennifer Anne Deaves
A south Australian woman who has an infant daughter
Now let us look at terrorists (if it was Muslim)
And the terrorists (if it was non-Muslim)
US university shooting kills 33
The Muslim suicide bombers
Suicide bomber (if it was non-Muslim)
Let us look at some statistics of Suicide Terrorism in Lebanon
and Religious Suicide Attackers versus Secular Suicide Attackers (between what was "known" and what was "estimated")
And who are the "Terrorists" again ?

And a bit more statistics....
And lastly, closer to home reporting....
They have to resort to these very biased, dirty tactics when describing Muslim or Islam? What does it take to continuously smear Muslim / Islam names in the eyes of the world?
What can you tell then about the "inner strength or faith" of a muslim when they have to resort to such seemingly desperate smearing tactics?
