21. Okay, but why are the sins of some Muslims newsworthy, while
the sins of some Israelis are verboten to be discussed on this forum?

Did you know that there is a whole organization--MEMRI--which is devoted to culling the most shocking, the lowest-of-the-low, of articles from the press outlets which cover Arab/Muslim countries, and disseminating those articles to the English-speaking world? MEMRI's apparent purpose is to keep us westerners believing that Muslims/Arabs really are "evil".

What if an organization were to cull articles about OUR (America's) lowest points, our most shameful events? Imagine us depicted as nothing but a bunch of people who mutilate and kill young boys (John Gacy, Dean Corll), strangle and rape young women (Ted Bundy), keep young teenagers in slavery (quasi-Mormon sects), slash innocent pregnant women and others (Manson family), seduce young boys to have sex with women almost twice their age (any of the latest "teacher-student" stories), routinely go on rampages in which innocent people are indiscriminatingly shot (school shootings such as Columbine), rip the tops off mountains and leave nothing but rubble ("mountaintopping" operations to get coal), and think of nothing but buying more and more and more crap we don't need while other persons in the world starve (our whole panorama of TV advertising).
