Why does western media focus only on crimes made by Muslims and ignores crimes against them?

Question

how many people in the west knew about September11 attacks?all of them..that's normal..but how many people knew about kosovo massacres (8,000 victims)?about people who were killed just because they are muslims in bosnia?in Indonesia and in Lebanon during the civil war?which were all by radical christians Muslim civilians which were slayed shishan by Russians?does any body remembers the economic sanctions in Iraq? and how many children died because of shortage of food and medicin?and why countless number of children died with canser shortly after the war? does any body know or care to know how many people aplease may any one answers how many of these crimes he had heard of?and how many were the victims (which mostly no body has any idea about that?)...
and my second question....isn't it much easier that people just think that ALL muslims have mental disorders make them obssesed with violence?I'm not making excuses for terror but isn't most of terror comes against and not from muslims?

Answer 1

And which nation has done something about these crimes? The same one that is under attack by Al Queda. So what is your point. I do follow the news outside of the mainstream media as much as I can.

Answer 2

Well I think you caused the problems, now you are crying because you were punished. You talk about sanctions in Iraq. Let's start with that. Who caused the sanctions to be put in place? Hmmm??? Perhaps it was Saddam invading Kuwait that did it. Yes, its too bad many people were starving during that time, but the good news is that many became Millionaires due to Saddam's generosity.
The brutality of the extreme Muslims is way over the top. You want to be given respectability then act civil. People don't hate Muslims, they hate the extreme violent Muslims. They do however wonder why there is not more of an outcry from the Muslim community. Muslims are killing Muslims. Is that okay?

Answer 3

Now the terrorism is no longer carried out by the Muslims, or Muslims-inspired.

So far have not heard of crimes against the Muslims. Historical baggage of territorial dispute is really a test on man's resolve on
peace through compassion, or the current alternative of no end to the conflict in the middle-east between the Israeli and the Arabs.

Answer 4

that's right exactly.

But it is the nature of a mankind to point out others mistake rather his owns. They are pointing out Muslims, cause simply they are different. There is always indifference in society no matter where, when and who.

All we can do is try to understand that the terrorist use the religion as their protection, come let's look when US started war against Iraq, there was less protest then publishing profit Muhammad's pictures in Denmark. There were a lot of protests and many embassies of Denmark were in fire not the US.

So people always have to be tolerant and understand and differ Islam and terrorism, which is simply easy but western politics does not want it.

Answer 5

LTTE's action in Srilanka is being highlighted by the media.
Similarly, the crimes perpetrated by the Muslims all over the world, will be brought to the notice of the people of the world by the Media. Other religions have not committed the crimes of the sort done by the Muslims. If there is no peace at present, all over the world, who do you think responsible for this. Muslims.

Answer 6

It is of course perfectly true that the West has double standards on, for example, Uzbekistan etc. The lives of 3,000 Americans indisputably weigh more on their minds than those of 100,000s of others, muslim or otherwise.

However, this hypocrisy extends also to the muslim world. How much criticism is there of the genocidal attacks against black africans by the arab muslim government of Sudan. Indeed Islamic states are openly against any intervention against this evil. How do you justify that?

The west are obsessed with their own, but no more so than muslims are obsessed with their own. The muslim world did no more for the genocide of 1 million Rwandans in 1994 than did the west. Not their problem.

As long as the west identifies only with the west, and people like yourself only identify with your co-religionists, the rest of the world be they Iraqi, Bosnian, Sudanese, Tibetan or whatever else will continue to suffer in silence. Identify yourself with humanity. Not your religion.

Answer 7

Rotten is as Rotten does.

If you practice a culture that says it's alright to decapitate a person who has done you no harm, then you should expect to be treated like the vermin that you are.

If you believe and follow Leaders who tell you that they are speaking for GOD when they tell you to blow yourself up, then you are like a silly little lamb that follows whoever happens to be in front of the flock.

Our media does not publicize stupid things or the actions of stupid people. Therefore your activities go unnoticed, as they should, and no one talks about you.

Try doing something good once in a while, help some people, build something good, develop a happy and beneficial culture, make music instead of pain. Do these things and maybe some reporter and some photographer will notice and write about you.

Answer 8

When Russia was in Afghanistan the Muslims got press. When Yugoslavia broke up the Muslims got press. The economic sanctions against Iraq were to punish Saddam. He used it to hurt his people.

I also had friend while in college that were Muslim & work with several of them now. They seem very normal and caring to me.

Answer 9

Terrorism is usually carried out by desperate people who feel they are being harmed. Our American Indians did it when we tried to take their land, for example.

However, when you have a problem with everyone else in the world that is not a Muslim, then looking for a reason for their terrorist actions becomes a moot issue.

Answer 10

This is false, western media covered the post 9-11 muslim basking be white supremicists. But.. generally they dont care about anything unless a pretty young blonde is involved.
