The betrayal of my beautiful religion, Islam

[Dubious]

But that is the point: Just because you think that the media are being selective does not mean that they are being so, because they clearly show a diversity of opinions, including about Islam, just as they should.

And again I repeat if there was diversity I am sure they would have at least picked 1 "expert" on the matter...for every 3 non experts they present!

What you consider to be an expert or not on Islam is based on only whether you agree with what they say or not. That is not the way it works.

I am talking about bringing in scholars on the topic "experts" ....when you have a medical case you bring in the experts in the field to discuss it not the butcher...

But the point is that the media do bring in the experts.

My next question is how often do they show this diversity as compared to the their usual non experts whom they keep airing day and night?

The coverage is proportional to the events happening, as they happen. Just because you personally do not agree does not make the media biased or the experts invalidated.

its not about me personally dont agree bit...if they showed Jews going violent in London I personally wouldnt agree either coz they absolutely are not and it should be designated as a 1 time case .....

However if you see something happening, even as simple as a plane crash, they get expert's (someone who knows about aeroplanes) view on it not some garage mechanic's view...and mind you planes crash often enough yet they dont go to a garage mechanic ....I wonder why...

When was the last time a Jew beheaded someone in London? And what about who beheaded Lee Rigby? Saying those were not Muslims will achieve nothing, because they clearly were Muslims who beheaded him.

Well are you only after hanging? or other crimes also interest you?

Preferably something as dramatic that the media focuses on. Public hanging, beheading in public view etc counts. Something that unmistakably instills terror into the hearts of people.

What we are talking about is media coverage of crimes and events and misdeeds, no matter who does them. The coverage goes where the events are and the experts are invited to explain all sides of any possible issue, not just one viewpoint that you may or may not like. It is a wide world out there.

all sides of any possible issue

I am still waiting for the next side....am kinda tired of seeing 1 side

Like Breivik. The press went gaga over it. Norweigians hanged their head in shame, so much so - that some got buried in the sand for some time. Liberals got the chance and became a Hercules for some time. Unforunately for them, this remained a single isolated incident that soon got eclipsed by others in another part of the world.

I remember reading - Christian extremism in an Urdu daily here. This was true for many papers then. After a few days we came to know the nut was influenced by Hitler more and Christ less In his diaries he had even admonished Christianity calling it weakness, just like Hitler
