From a Phil Mushnick column at NYPost.com (original post date 3/23/13):
I understand why local and national news divisions dispatch sympathetic reporters to interview America’s Islamic leaders and spokespersons every time there’s a slight – real or perceived – perpetrated against Muslims living in America. But it only works one way.
How come no one on TV asks why there are no Muslim student protests, here, against, oh, say, the murdering of medical workers trying to immunize Muslim children from polio in Arabic and African-Islamic regions? [most recent killings were in Pakistan and Nigeria]
The continuing murders of these ultimate caregivers – many enlightened Muslims – are explained by some Islamists as provoked by a [perceived] US plot to sterilize Muslims with a serum disguised as a polio vaccine.
And what do American and other Western Islamic leaders and spokespersons think of Egyptian President and Muslim Brotherhood rep Mohamed Morsi’s rant calling Jews “bloodsuckers” and “descedants of pigs and apes”? That stuff’s never asked.
Or would asking such questions seem impolite?
