Because it is only Christians who are receiving end, and jihadists doing the violence, so there is not much news value. The brutalization of non-muslim minorities in the muslim world is so common and so uninteresting for the media that it gets generally ignored.

Reality check: The Red Crescent is the name the Red Cross is forced to operate under in muslim countries, since the cross symbol is "offensive" to islam.

The determination with wich the US media are ignoring Obamas terrorist ties is a sight to behold. It scary to think of the coming Obama government, with all houses of government in the hands of one party, an extreme leftist at the top, and a sycophantic press that can´t stop swooning. Kim Yong Il would approve.

Helter Skelter:
Iraq was different under Saddams relatively secular dicatorship. Remember Tariq Azis? He was a Christian.
Under the Shiite theocracy which the US has helped established, Iraq will be more like any other islamic hellhole, where non-muslim live under permanent threat. You are right there.

I never thought I´d see the day where 2 democrats are running in a US "election". The only reason to prefer McCain is the cast of dubious characters lurking behind Obama, including communists, slamic radicals, and financial thugs of the worst sort (funny how Soros never gets mentioned). I´d vote McCain, but while holding my nose.

Is that the end of the story? What do you think about someone dismisses a 20-year connection with his mentor when it becomes politically embarrassing?

Do you think Sarah Palin would have boldly declared in a prepared speech, 'Jerusalem must remain the undivided capital of Israel', and then taken it back a half hour later? The idea that Obama knows anything about foreign affairs is proven a complete fiction by that incident. Watch him say it; watch him take it back! http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=5yVWB10Tzbo
If that had been Palin, we´d be seeing it on continous loop. Double standards.

She had a hostile interviewer and is not used to parrying "gotcha" questions yet. That can be learned.
Look at the sympathetic way in which Obama is interviewed, and squirm at the difference.
The way the press in the sack for one political party this time is truly embarrassing.

SushiSake:
* "The mountain of rubbish poured out about Palin over the past month would rival Everest. What a disgrace for our jabbering army of liberal journalists and commentators, too many of whom behaved like snippy jackasses. The bourgeois conventionalism and rank snobbery of these alleged humanitarians stank up the place. As for Palin’s brutally edited interviews with Charlie Gibson and that viper, Katie Couric, don’t we all know that the best bits ended up on the cutting-room floor? Something has gone seriously wrong with Democratic ideology, which seems to have become a candied set of holier-than-thou bromides attached like tutti-frutti to a quivering green Jell-O mold of adolescent sentimentality."

Obama was a member of of the socialist party ("new party") and still rubs shoulders with racist radicals, islamists, and unrepentent terrorists. Your point?

SezWho2: No, the difference is how the media presents what the candidates say. McCain only needs to say Good Morning, and the mainstream media will turn that into hate speech. The media have always been biased, but in this election it is truly embarrassing to see how they are in the sack for one candidate.

Now that the US has handed control over the Sunni militias to the Shiite Maliki government, the success of the "surge" will unravel. You´ll see a lot more of these bombings from now on. And of course Al Quaeda will be back to help the Sunnis.
Once again, ignorance comes home to roost.

neverknow2:
Is that supposed to be a lame joke? The US at the time helped the mujahedin to fight the stinking Russian kuffars. This time you want to make us believe the mujahedin join the stinking kuffars in fighting against the true muslims? A bizarre idea.
This story needs to be read with a giant sack of salt.

The claim that the Republicans "sow hatred" is absurd, in the face of all the hatred spewed by the Democrats, especially towards Palin. This is what in nazi rethoric is called "turnspeak" --- turn the facts around 180 degrees and repeat that.

Any criticism of Obama is racist, don´t you know that, by now? Nothing less than absolute devotion and flattery for the messiah is permitted.

Pointing out Obamas radical socialist roots and connections is not "mud slinging". It is the "vetting" of candidates which the mainstream media has so miserably failed to do in this season.
