....you're a moron.
Where did I say it was OK?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
An argument well made and well presented.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh the irony.
Serial - Are you telling me that if someone shot up a mosque/synagogue in Britain, killing say 30 people, and someone did the same in say....France or Germany....they would get equal coverage because of the race of the victims?
Or....do you think maybe the one closer to home and more affecting Brits would be covered more?

It's a depressing and sad truth, but the media will get far more viewers for reporting on a unique event closer to home than they would with a car bombing in the middle east which really has no effect on us.
-----------------------------------------
Not really true. The terrorist attacks on Australia, which killed 2 people, received a lot more coverage than the terrorist attack on Pakistan, which killed over a hundred children.
The neither events had anything to do with the west and both were well away from any western regions.
It's a sad truth that in the west the life of a White person is valued more than the life of a black/brown.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this the massacre of children committed by muslims /islamic terrorists who are funded by the Pakistani government no less.
I'd be a tad unhappy with the authorities if I were you and not the western media for not reporting it enough

Are you equally as outraged that one case of ebola in Britain is getting much more coverage than each individual case of ebola in Africa?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm outraged that the European community didn't actually bother with the Ebola epidemic until it reached (or at least threatened to reach) their doorstep.
And still, at this point, the richest nations in the world (that's including the Muslim states) can't be bothered about sorting out this medieval epidemic..
Though what any of this has anything to do with the discussion at hand, i think only you know.
____________________
Since the discussion at hand is basically a couple of muslim racists having a pop at the British for no reason, I think it this point is more than relevant.
The fact that you can't see the relevance just further suggests that your sense of logic is clouded by your racist agenda.

"Of course there will be more coverage of the killing of innocents by terrorists virtually on our own doorstep. How much press coverage do you think the Paris incident will get in Yemen today by comparison? Think about it..."
That would involve an impartial mind, of which Serial and Kung Fu clearly do not posses.

This article pretends to be about sympathy for the victims in Yemen but it is blatantly just an excuse to have a racist rant at British people for no reason other than the fact that the OP is racist and anti-British.
Disgusting.

Because without realising it, he has been brainwashed into believing the world is against Islam, and he is now doing everything his religion teaches him not to.

"Can he not go via the mosque and have a nervous twitch whilst there"
The people he kills would be just as innocent. He'd be better off going to his "homeland" and seeing just how lovely IS really are.

Ok. Firstly Dot i was OBVIOUSLY on the WUM. An article was created which seemed pretty divisive and i thought i'd explore it a bit more. Not really surprised that the usual suspects got a bit abusive. Manners usually go out the window after the logic of the point being made.
I think the OP is flawed but raises some valid points, which many here will feel uncomfortable about. I think it's very wrong to define it as racist or anything similar, but personally i do feel that the British MEDIA are a tad bit biased when it comes to these matters. But as many have pointed out, it's not really that straight forward.
Please note, i am singling this out as a media issue and nothing beyond that.
Kung Fu - You could have just informed us of the event without adding a narrative/opinion to it.
It's exactly what the news do - They don't just report the facts, they tell you what you should think about them using opinion masked as 'speculation' 'unverified eyewitness accounts' and so on.
You have no basis for your flippant comment on the value of Muslim (who can be white)/Arab compared to white people.
Through whose eyes is this the case? Are you saying i take this view?
Kung Fu showing himself up to be a racist bigot. Who'd have thought?
Maybe the reason you detest me so much is that you see something of yourself in me?

Yes it's a MEDIA issue. Just like i have an issue with the amount of media coverage the royal family gets and how much love there is for the likes of UKIP.
The solution is simple (with the BBC anyway) - stop watching and stop paying your license fee.
The people who did the car bombing in Yemen are part of the exact same movement as those who carried out the massacre in France.
This post is particularly ironic as there is growing speculation the killers in Paris identified themselves as "Al Qaeda in Yemen".
Anyway, there is a list of legitimate reasons the incident in France is receiving more news coverage.
1. It is ongoing. The gunman are on the run and are likely to be killed or captured sooner rather than later.
2. There is a civil war in Yemen where car bombings, assassinations, suicide bombings and general blood shed are commonplace in some regions of the country, including the capital city. This is in sharp contrast to France, where I would assume today's terrorist incident will represent the highest death toll for the country (in a single terrorist incident) for many decades.
3. The geographical proximity of Paris, and the general perception this kind of thing could happen here. Which it could.
4. The incident is fundamentally about freedom in the West. Almost the entire staff of a national publication have been exterminated for believing that one faith is no more entitled to more respect or sensitivity than any other. Charlie Hebdo has satirically mocked Jews, Christians, Hindus, Muslims, black people, white people, conservatives, liberals, priests, rabbis, foreigners and French.
I hope all of this answers the OP question.

He wishes. He'll be my prag when we (he will be part of the Brotherhood by then) get sent down.
BTW, Kung Fu is wrong on the matter about Muslims killing Muslim.
"Anybody with any basic knowledge of the religion will know that this is not permissible."
I'm afraid this sentence is incorrect. One of the peculiarities with the Quran is that it's often contradictory of some of the major points. Obviously killing anyone is prohibited, but like the Old Testaments there are ifs and buts.
So basically if you're a hate filled person, you could pretty much skew the words of the Quran into doing whatever you want, even though the intended victim is a Muslim.

Have to agree with this. Well the 4 points RC makes.
The media can be very biased towards Muslims for sure. The BBC were a disgrace over the massacre of Gaza with their pro Israel stance but in this case the France incident will get more attention. Muslims killing Muslims is not newsworthy enough.
At least 'convicted rapist ched evans' gets a day off news wise
I think you have to bear in mind that something is more newsworthy if it happens either closer to home or less often rather than simplifying it to saying they don't care about Yemen. For the media in this country, of course the Paris situation will be deemed as a higher interest story.
