“ If the person who killed 90+ people in Norway was a Muslim, the Press would have declared him as a terrorist. For now though, he is just an ‘Assailant ‘, ‘Attacker’ (Reuters), ‘Gunman’ (BBC, CNN & Al Jazeera). Looks like ‘Terrorist ’ is a name reserved for Muslims? The US Dept of State calls it an ‘Act of Violence’, Not an ‘Act of Terrorism’. Share this status and let the world know, HYPOCRISY is abound.” - Found on Facebook.

The image above is something I made a decade ago, right after 911, it’s called “The Unfair Label” which I knew was going to be attached to Muslims from then on. It pains my ear how they report such things on local news too, if a crime was committed by a Muslim, they are quick to point it out like “Isang Muslim ang nangholdap ng banko!” yet we never hear “isang Kristayano ang nang rape ng bata!”. It’s stupid & irresponsible.

People are people, no race or religion has exclusivity to evil & good.

On another note, do read 5 Ridiculous Things You Probably Believe About Islam.

Let this be known to all: Most of your (refusing to call them our) corrupt politicians are Christian. Roman Catholic to be precise. Media never seems to call them out on their hypocrisy. 

I know very few Muslims but if the few I’ve known can be indicators of how good our Muslim brothers are, then media has got some apologizing to do.
