Religion and Media
Religion and Media....they DONT mix!!
Im rather upset with the latest media attention given about the Pope's comments about Islam. Before I too get emails of hate comments for daring to suggest the Media is so PC and affraid to say anything against the religion of Islam let me just say one thing. I have nothing against Islam. And I am not a Christian, nor am I muslem.
Sitting on the benches watching the news it seems it is the Pope's fault that a nun was shot dead!? This leaves me to wonder, 'did i miss something here?'. The mass media makes it seem as if the shooter was acting rationally in light of the Pope's comments. This doesnt wash with me. Sure, the Pope, as the head of the Catholic church should not make any comments against other religions, him doing so does not ligitimize the killing of a nun.
Everytime muslem leaders chant for the death of all Christians (far worse than what the Pope said, and an occourance that happens far more often), Chiristians dont go and kill someone over it. Dont bring up Geroge Bush and his clowns. Thats different. Wars aside. When any Muslem leader suggest christians are worthy of death on one side of the world, christians on the other dont march in the streets. If they did, something tells me the media wouldnt be on their side, unlike with the current situations.
Why such double standards? Would the NZ media blame a Hamas Leader's comments for the death of lets say, a Muslem Cleric in Sydney, and then demand that the Hamas leader say sorry? The Answer, No! They would rightly blame the nutter who killed the guy! So why's it ok if it's the other way around? Just some questions for thought.
Now being all PC, and scared of any comebacks, i should appologise for any offence that may have been caused to any group or individual. None of this was meant to offend, or put either religion down. All i wish to do is suggest a possible bias in the media. One i see evident.
