Ever wonder why Islamic terrorism cases are so frequently reported as being perpetrated by "unnamed gunmen" or "militants" or "freedom fighters" or pretty much anything except for "Islamic terrorists"?
Well, wonder no more, because Charles Johnson has posted a link to the Canadian Islamic Congress' grading scheme for demeriting Canadian media outlets for any reporting that doesn't portray Islam in the best possible light at all times:
1. Identifying Muslims by their religion when they are involved in violent acts = 100
2. Interring [sic] that Islam is intolerant and an extreme religion that teaches, endorses or condones acts of violence = 90
3. Use of the term "Muslim Terrorists" = 80
4. Use of the term "Muslim Militants" = 70
5. Use of the term "Muslim Extremists" = 60
6. Use of the term "Muslim Fundamentalists" = 50
7. Propagating negative stereotypes = 40
8. Being culturally insensitive, for example to religious practices, dress code, food or social customs = 30
9. Selective presentation and analysis of events and the use of popular "experts" = 20
10. Failing to offer a balanced view on political events = 10
Granted, that's Canada. But if pressures like this are widespread, it would explain a whole lot.
Meanwhile, European countries are one-by-one banning Kosher food. Yeah, that sure sounds like a massive Zionist conspiracy's in charge of everything, don't it?
