oshea44: its not about the media culture, everyone knows must terror act committed are muslims, so why wouldnt they showcase on TV every second...

50calibre: Because the real Muslims regard those non-terrorist Muslims as hypocrites. They take them as people who aren't following the mandate of Islam to go out and kill others.

GraphicsPlus: Which media are you talking about? You should send the video or story to Aljazeera or Sahara reporters. Are they not your people? 99% of terrorism committed all over the world is committed by muslems. Check history.

naijaking1: @poster
Your title should have been "why ordinary people who help prevent death to muslims are not carried by the news media" Just watch your opening tape again. It was the bar tender and the police who prevented the drunk crazy man.
Now turn it around, Islam is the only modern religion where death sentences are passed and carried out for acts such as "disrespecting" your prophet, to blaspheming the holy book, to criticizing some aspects of the religion, to converting from Islam to other religions. All these attract death sentences from high up religious authorities, not from drunk or lone wolf crazied people from any religion for that matter.
Islam is the only religious where people are officially asked to go and kill from the pulpits on Fridays, and unfortunately these commands are based on the preachers' limited knowledge, but at the end of the day, somebody would be dead.

Kill from the pulpits?? I missed out on that memo..

bory09: Who are boko haram, al queda, al shabab and Tuareg including hezbollah, these answer the question

Remenber Salmon Rushdie, the poor English teacher teaching Sudanese pupils, and a whole lot of others? They all recieved Fatwa by some "crazied uninformed Iman", and yet the followers like you agree. Time for you learn.

This is a typical example of how the media is targeting Islam and Muslims

No Media outlet bothered to cover this incident.

Now Imagine if the Man was muslim...

tbaba1234:

K, Now time for you to learn.

A fatwa is an opinion that is not binding. The people who pronounce these rulings are supposed to be knowledgable, and base their rulings in knowledge and wisdom and it is not uncommon for scholars to come to different conclusions regarding the same issue.

Fatwa can be issued on a range of different issues but they are not binding. For instance, there are numerous fatwas against terrorism and acts that hurt innocents. http://www.cair.com/americanmuslims/antiterrorism/fatwaagainstterrorism.aspx , http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1969662,00.html.

I do not agree with the person that issued rushie's fatwa, it was of no use.

tbaba1234: ^ How do you defend a person that knowingly breaks the law of a land? He knew he was breaking the law and did it.

What happens when you get caught breaking the law in Nigeria??

You break the law and you do the time.

In Islam, insulting Jesus is also a crime.

Jonlafrika:
OR CAN SOMEONE GIVE US JUST ONE CHRISTIAN TERRORISTS GROUP

naijaking1:

Why should expressing one's opinion about the prophets be a punishable death offence? Only in Islam
Think about it, people have been sentenced to death for writting mere thesis about their understanding of Islam, then somebody out there sees the interpretations as an insult to the prophet, and bye the time you know it a fatwa is hanging on his neck.
You see, it sounds like the catholic church in the era of emperor popes of the 12 and 13th centuries.
In those days, the pope was the ruler, and anybody who holds an opposite view of any the pope's rules, like Copernisus, Galilieo, etc were given their own equivalent of fatwa, death by hanging.
The World already knows what a tragedy it could have been if those great minds were snuffed out by religious zealotory. Why not today

stone07: Put more senses into ur brain,slowpoke.Are u telling me killing of human being because of ur so calld religion shld not recieve media attention? Enough reasons hv bn given to u here to understand why much media attention is given to your group of terrorists.

You guys would go to any length to identify Muslim terror groups but ignore the Christian terror groups mentioned even on the thread you are upon

Domestic terrorism
The benefits of hindsight

Aug 15th 2012, 21:01 by J.F. | ATLANTA

http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2012/08/domestic-terrorism

ON APRIL 7th 2009 a unit of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) charged with monitoring domestic, non-Islamic terrorism released a paper warning that the economic downturn and the election of the first black president “present unique drivers for right-wing radicalisation and recruitment.” Other causes included fears over illegal immigration and the possibility of more restrictive gun laws, and the challenges faced by returning military veterans. It compared the economic and political climate of 2009 to that of the early 1990s, “when right-wing extremism experienced a resurgence fuelled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the outsourcing of jobs and the perceived threat to U.S. power”; that period culminated in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City by Timothy McVeigh, a disgruntled veteran who found a home in America’s right-wing fringe movements.

The report, released just as the “tea-party” movement was heating up, came under withering criticism from the right. Commentators complained that it unfairly placed conservatives under suspicion. John Boehner, the House Speaker, said it cast veterans as “potential terrorists”. Daryl Johnson, who headed the unit responsible for that report, said that DHS promptly caved in to the pressure. Within months his unit, which had six-full time analysts and two supplemental staff—fewer by far than the team that monitored Islamic threats—was gutted, “out of malice and risk aversion”, Mr Johnson maintains, and out of fear of politically motivated budget cuts. Training and publications were cut too.

Nor is this imbalance limited to the DHS: since coming under Republican control in 2010, the House Homeland Security Committee has held five hearings on Muslim radicalisation, and none on right-wing threats. Yet America’s right-wing extremists commit a vastly greater number of murderous attacks (though leading to fewer deaths) than Muslims do. According to the Extremist Crime Database (ECDB), published by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, between 1990 and 2010 right-wing extremists carried out 145 murderous attacks, resulting in 348 deaths, 168 of which resulted from the Oklahoma City bombing. During that same time period Muslim extremists committed around 25 attacks, which killed over 3,000 people; but 9/11 accounted for 2,977 of these.

The Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC), which monitors right-wing extremists, saw the number of such groups wane during the 2000s, before soaring back following the election of Barack Obama and the economic downturn, as Mr Johnson predicted: by the end of 2011 it counted 1,274 anti-government “Patriot” groups, far more than existed in the mid-1990s and up from a nadir of 131 just four years earlier.

Following the murder of six Sikhs at a gurdwara in Wisconsin by a white supremacist earlier this month, there have been calls to redress this balance. That would be welcome, but may well prove easier said than done. For one thing, law-enforcement agencies must take extreme care (far more than they have, historically) to distinguish between constitutionally-protected speech and actionable threats. For another, politicians will have to brave the blowback, distortions and pressure that, as Mr Johnson and his team can attest, will inevitably come from discussing the links between right-wing extremism and subjects such as gun laws, unemployment, military service and the election of Mr Obama. Bringing up such subjects will be difficult. Keeping silent would be worse.

Killing One Man Does not Kill the Ideology

The Ideology is Eternal

& That Doctrine Reads of the Ultimate Sacrifice within the Engagement of War....

Hence the Reason why Israel, even with it's Super Power Puppet Master Playing the Strings has YET to defeat Anybody

Children all over the United States Inner City suffer from Lack of Proper Education While being drenched in Poverty Stricken & Crime Ridden Dumps, while the Government Pays Trillions of Dollars in Nuclear Weaponry to Battle against an Unbeatable & Unconquerable Philosophy....

A Philosophy Equipped with the Greatest War Doctrine That Mankind has ever Seen.

So tell me again who is Winning?

sam4xadams: Wait why am I even responding to this post? From the moderator they have actually acknowledged that islam is synonymous with terrorist, so the mod want to know y no non Muslim last like budist, traditional religion, etc not in world news? Lol so confused.

BetaThings:

30 years ago in the UK, there was a ;aw against blasphemy
You could say whatever you liked against Islam, Hiduism etc
Only insulting talk about figures in Christian was criminalised

Even on Nairaland, Christians always try to erect spiritually ward off attack against their leaders by simply saying "touch not my anointed"
Same Christian do not see anything wrong in attacking figures in Islam

mshd5:
Aside d ignorants boko haram dt claimed in d name f Islam, whose else group want 2 islamise d world whch is in total deviation 2 islamic injuctn.

Afam4eva: It's not a food for thought anything. Muslim terrorists are mostly talked about because of the volume of terrorist acts carried out by them. It's the same way that Nigeria is usually associated with fraud not because people from other countries are not into fraud but because the volume of fraud cases involving Nigerians is overwhelming.
