Let me get this straight. In the eyes of the Left… ….criticism of Planned Parenthood means something like the shooting in Colorado “was bound to happen”…
…but chants where people describe police as ‘pigs’ and call for them to be ‘fried like bacon’ doesn’t lead to attacks on police…
…when an event by Pamela Geller is targeted by an Islamist shooter, it is “not really about free speech; it was an exercise in bigotry and hatred” and the attempt to kill her means she has “achieved her provocative goal”…
… while at the same time, investigators contend we may never know what motivated a 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez to kill four Marines and a sailor in an attack on Chattanooga’s U.S. Naval and Marine Reserve Center last July…
… a shooting by a diagnosed schizophrenic, who believed that grammar was part of a vast, government-directed mind control effort, is characterized by the Southern Poverty law Center as having views that are the “hallmark of the far right and the militia movement” …
… while the shooter who opened fire in the lobby of the Family Research Council in downtown Washington in 2012, who planned to target the Traditional Values Coalition next, does not spur any need for a broader discussion or societal lessons about the demonization of political opponents…
… a California killer, who was treated by multiple therapists and already had police checking on him after posting disturbing YouTube videos, is a reflection of “sexist society” …
…but there’s little reason to ask whether the Oregon shooter’s decision to target Christians reflects a broader, societal hostility to Christians, or whether it reflects his personal allegiance to demons…
… When white supremacist Dylann Roof committed an act of mass murder in an African-American church, Salon declares “White America is complicit” and the Washington Post runs a column declaring, “99 percent of southern whites will never go into a church, sit down with people and then massacre them. But that 99 percent is responsible for the one who does”…
… but the Roanoke shooter’s endless sense of grievance and perceptions of racism and homophobia in all of his coworkers represents him and him alone…
Do I have all that right? And does that make sense to anyone?

How about the obvious angle -Muslims, stop engaging in terrorism if you want the bad reputation to go away.
That would be propaganda and lies. You are inferring that all Muslims should be held accountable for the actions of the radicals.
I am inferring that there are those people out there that get riled up when they watch or listen anti Muslim rhetoric and as a result commits act of hate and violence. Obviously all are not doing it but they are those that cannot seem to think for themselves and use these opinions as facts.
Just for the record pointing out other countries do the same does not help your cause because than you are saying that a supposed great country like America is exactly like them.
I am pretty sure that Americans would hold them self to a higher standard.

You're being critical of a news agency. Some may consider what you are doing as spreading hate.
They would be wrong. No hate here just pointing out the facts that Fox lies and spreads propaganda about Muslims.
After last weeks shooting, all they talked about was the Muslim aspect of it and it was like the shootings prior to this did not exist.
They continued to harp on how Muslim radicals are the biggest threat to Americans and never even mentioned that gun massacres are usually done by mentally ill people or right wing extremists.
It was like this massacre was the only mass shooting to ever happen or that mass murder is only committed by radical Muslims in America.
When both shootings in a matter of two weeks, all networks were talking about possible causes. I watched to keep informed about what was going on. The first shooting happened and when the perpetrator was found, they ignored the issue of how a mentally ill person got a gun, what religion he was associated with or his motives. They focused on how people are coming after guns..etc.
The 2nd shooting happens..and all they would talk about who it was and what religion they came from and this is America's biggest threat. It was like the last shooting by a Christian did not exist.
It was unbelievable.
