Here's a good question....why doesn't the news ever show the other majority of the Muslims speaking out and helping the innocent people attacked by the unislamic extremists? I was thinking this today here in Pakistan (I'm white and from the US, just visiting family) as I was watching GeoTV news. They showed the people assisting those injured, carrying those who could not walk, risking their own lives to save those caught up in the attacks. They even showed the details, such as those who, ummm, didn't "make it" before the ambulances arrived.
Why does CNN and all of the American channels show us Muslims just standing around looking on? Why won't they show the previous day's and previous hour's work of helping everyone out and chasing down those who they know were part of it? They show it all over the world except the West. Our American channels did the same with the start of the Iraq war, and I know because I was here then. What do you think?

when you say "unislamic extremists" do you mean the ones responsible were not muslim or do you mean their acts were not a value held by islam? because i am not finding any info yet on who did this so not sure how you know they were not muslim or what ever religion??

I Think the News is Biased.
They show what they want to.
They "Edit".
I Think Most Human Beings just Want to Live in Peace, Work, Raise Their Family's so on.
Enjoy Life.
I Think the Governments do Wrongs Things Quicker than the People They Govern.
Extremeist's and Fanatic's (in AnyThing) are Always Off-Balance.
And Have to be "Checked" (Balanced Again).
One Way or another.

Because CNN, BBC etc are the biased medias and they always shows only one side of the whole picture.

I think it is very typical of the American Media! Not only do they do that but they never tell the number of innocent Iraqi citicizens who have been killed because of this war (millions) but we always hear the number of our troops killed.
My heart goes out to you! you are a beautiful person and I have no doubt your good deeds will be rewarded, if not in this life, definately the next! I am ashamed of what my country has become! God Bless you!

simply because they hate us & want all the world to hate us dear who said those ppl who attack or boom are really a Muslims
i dont believe that the Muslims just love what the media do because the good will win in the end thats why a lot of ppl convert to Islam thanks for the media when ppl really know the truth they convert

Because the news is crap. It's no longer real journalism, it's a quest for ratings. People want to see news that makes them feel superior. That's what sells. Speaking positively about Muslim actions would kind of spoil that.
Thanks for this question. It's very interesting information to hear what REALLY goes on in the world.

Generally, TV stations, not only in the US but all over the world show more of the inhumane than humane actions in a disaster; however there have been reports on US TV and newspapers of people helping each other.

The media shows people what it wants people to know.
CNN or Fox News it doesn't really matter, when it comes down to it, the media is one big entity.
"News" really isn't news, it is all about who has the money to get what they want heard.
