Do only Muslims get the terror label by Western Media?

Two men commit the same horrible crime but it seems the only one getting labeled a terrorist is the one fueled by Islamicist ideology; pavement sleeping in Amman; Syrian War spillover in Iraq will be much worse than in Lebanon; and the Tripoli Human Rights Film Festival.

Is this the face of a terrorist? Give him a mustache, Arab name and the terrorist label will soon follow.

When it is called terrorism?

Recently, Muslims around the world have been noticing the double standard of the Western media when it comes to describing a person committing an act of terror. Basically, when a man kills people he is a terrorist if he is a Muslim and a madman or the act is described as a domestic violence if he is not a Muslim.

Sleepover at the Pavement

While i was taking the picture it came to me all of the sudden that this looked like a bed!, look at it. Doesn’t it look like one?, only there was no pillow and a mattress and the fact that it’s in the street. This man has nothing, absolutely nothing.

Syrian War Spillover in Iraq Will Be Much Worse than in Lebanon

Many Western journalists are based in Lebanon, few in Iraq. This explains why relatively small events in Lebanon get dramatic reporting and much larger increases of violence in Iraq, are largely overlooked or elicit little concern. Already in response to the growing civil war in Syria, Iraqi violence has spiked and al-Qaida is resurgent there. The threat of spillover in Lebanon is minor compared to Iraq because the sects in Lebanon all acknowledge that none can rule the country without the others.
