In resent days
a 15 yr old Muslim girl raped by a Hindu guy in
Palo Alto, ca.
a Muslim woman n her son attacked n abused by 2
Christian guys in Seldon.
2 mosques vandalized, defaced n damaged by
Christians in Nassau County n Orange County.
but those
attackers r not terrorists coz they r not Muslims.
for Bush administration n
American n European media, these r minor crimes.
ok we agree
but wot about Dr. Robert J.
Goldstein........
Dr. Robert arrested after police found more than 15 homemade explosive devices in his home allegedly drafted a detailed plan to blow up an Islamic educational center. The search of Robert J. Goldstein's residence also turned up a list of about 50 Islamic worship centers in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area and other locations in Florida...
According to the damning evidence against the Florida podiatrist, there should be absolutely no hesitation in classifying Goldstein as a "terrorist." Yet, in news coverage from The Associated Press to CNN, there was not one mention of the word "terrorist." However, if we change one facet of this scenario, we would have a completely different ballgame.
Instead of Goldstein, let's say his name was Dr. Muhammad. Assume the same bomb materials were found in the same Florida home. Instead of blueprints of Islamic centers and mosques, his house was littered with floor plans of more than 50 synagogues and Jewish day schools. In addition to the blueprints and the arsenal, there were scattered pages of his manifesto that claimed to eliminate all traces of Judaism from America. Surely, one would be hard pressed to find one person alive who would not consider the hypothetical man above a "terrorist."
So why the double standard? There was not one mention of Goldstein's religion or political affiliation in any of the media outlets. It would follow a simple logical progression that his fiery hatred of Muslims was either fueled by a dogmatic or political doctrine...
