Surely, like the Boy Scouts, the media has one already prepared? Or do they just mistake them for Muslims? Afterall, that was what happened to the Mosque shooting in Canada, now wasn't it? Tsk, tsk.
You silly old aunt.
Commenting on the London attack that killed three and injured 40, acting Deputy commissioner Mark Rowley told the BBC that it was “Islamist-related terrorism.”
A day earlier, on March 21, an Islamist suicide car bomber killed 10 people in Mogadishu.
A day before that, two dozen people were blown up by an Islamist car bomber in a Baghdad neighborhood.
Two days before that, a mother and her two children were among four people wiped out by three Islamist suicide bombers in Maiduguri, Nigeria.
A day before that, Islamist Shiite rebels fired two rockets into a Sunni mosque in Yemen, killing 34 people during Friday prayers.
On the same day, in Paris, a father and son’s throats were slit by a family member yelling “Allah Akbar” (God is great).
A day earlier, a young child was blown to bits by an Islamist suicide bomber in Bangladesh.
On that same day, March 16, in South Ukkadam, India, an atheist was hacked to death by an angry Muslim over Facebook posts attacking his religion.
That is just a little glimpse of last week’s terror report from the Third World and elsewhere. Worldwide, since 9/11, Islamist terrorists have carried out more than 30,499 deadly terror attacks, according to the independent watchdog site TheReligionOfPeace.com.
Most of these attacks never make it to CNN or The New York Times or Facebook, because the victims don’t live in places like London, Brussels or San Bernardino. So, on March 15, when Boko Haram members slit the throats of three hostages in Borno, Nigeria, while reciting from the Koran, Wolf Blitzer wasn’t on it. There was no “breaking news” drama on our screens.
Similarly, when a pregnant woman was gunned down by Islamist terrorists on March 16 in Ayati, Nigeria, it made no noise in our world.
In the West, we see a fraction of the carnage done in the name of Islam. No matter how much media attention we give to the attacks on our soil, it doesn’t come close to capturing the scope of the global problem.
I know that it’s painful to consider the stunning reality that 30,499 deadly attacks could be committed in the name of one religion.
