If a Muslim was the primary suspect in a shooting on the Las Vegas strip that killed three people, would the media mention it? And would the media stop using the his full Muslim name after blogs pointed out his apparent conversion to Islam?

If a mob of Muslim kids bullied a nine-year-old boy in Britain so mercilessly that he hung himself, would the media mention it?

These are just a few of the incidents from the last week.
And finally, if Barrack Hussein Obama ordered the U.S. State Department to issue a “worldwide caution” to all U.S. citizens about potential terror threats, would that document include the words jihad, Muslim or Islam?

Update: Daniel Pipes wrote in a similar vein a few days ago via Jihad or Criminality?
Comments: Because the media, law enforcement, and elected officials are so reluctant to give out information about the attackers’ religion, much less their motives, it’s basically impossible to tell from the outside if they represent a wave of jihadi attacks by Islamists or are just a bunch of criminals who happen to be Muslim, or a bit of both. (For documentation of this pattern, see both my article “http://www.danielpipes.org/2396/denying-islamist-terrorismwww.danielpipes.org/2396/denying-islamist-terrorism” and the follow-up blog, “More Incidents of Denying Islamist Terrorism.”) The most the media will concede is in the Ibrahim case, that “Privately some wonder if it had something to do with the victims’ [Christian] religion.” When will journalists, police, and politicians end their efforts to hide key information that the public needs and deserves? (February 24, 2013)
Feb. 25, 2013 update: This blog prompted readers to send other recent cases of Muslim-on-non-Muslim violence:
Sep. 8, 2011: As Justin Hall, 32, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, was about to board a Greyhound bus in Springfield, Mo., Mohamed H. Dawod, 25, of Glendale, Ariz., shot him in the back. Dawod tried to fire more shots but his pistol, a .22-cal. semi-automatic, jammed, at which point other passengers subdued him. The attack appeared to be unprovoked. Police are seeking a motive. They charged Dawod with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the shooting.
It leaves one wondering how many other cases are out there that are never reported anywhere.

Reblogged this on WindsorCOAct!forAmerica.
I am going to reblog this on the THOMA$ REPORT on Town Hall, and The Bull Cutter on Blogger.
Here in So. Calif. THIS WAS COVERED BY THE MEDIA… and is STILL being discussed by the Media!
I do NOT appreciate that THIS News Source is implying that this was NOT covered by the Media! You can post the TRUTH or NOTHING AT ALL!
STOP bending the facts into YOUR agenda!
Joe…
I might be missing the point here, but what I get out of CS’s post is this:
Yes, the media might report the incident, possibly/maybe all over the country, BUT….
they never report it as a crime committed by a MUSLIM…and my point is that these crimes are initiated or motivated by a direct connection to islam and it’s message.
I am in Canada, and we heard about the incident in Las Vegas, but not 1 word about the shooters connection with islam.
Maybe the Las Vegas shooting had NOTHING to do with islam, but many of those crimes CS mentioned DID…and if they did, THEY should be reported with that as part of the byline.
Amboyduke, these cases are, as you say, sometimes mentioned in the MSM but the all important word “muslim” is so very often omitted. One of the worst of these cases occurs every year here in Canada, where as you know people hold a memorial for the victims of one Marc Lepine.
I would guess at least 95% of Canadians if asked would say Lepine was a French Canadian, and he was not. His real name was Gamil Gharbi, and he was a woman-hating muslim, just like his father who was from Algeria. Lepine was his mother’s maiden name.
The most scurrilous, misleading interview I have ever heard was one conducted by CBC with Lepine’s mother, where the words ‘muslim’ and ‘islam’ were not even mentioned once, in the half hour interview; nor was the fact Lepine had changed his name.
Hello Peter…
Yes, the Marc Lepine issue is one of which I am aware.
It is quite possible that his hatred for women had something to do with his muslim father…but at least when he did his crime the muslim issue wasn’t nearly as large and important as it is today!
It makes me sick that the media never refers to muslims when they cover an islamic releted story…sound like a conspiracy of some sort, I’d say…???
Just what the hell is going on is somewhat disconcerting.
There soes seem to be an agenda promoting the islamic rise in the world…although I am not specifically religious or “Christian”, dare I say the rise of islam might have something to do with biblical prophecy???
Curiouser and curiouser…it
Joe, I HAD NO IDEA the CA killings were perpetrated by a Muslim, who may be influenced to commit violence by Islamic radicalism. Any mention of that whatsoever was absent from CNN, MSN, from the Reuters and AP, and the other news coverage I read. That’s a big problem.
The question was NOT a qualified Muslim’s crimes for whatever reason committed was not being reported!
The question was “If a Muslim ……….. , would the Media mention it?”
… implying that they probably would NOT cover it!
IT WAS COVERED BY THE MEDIA HERE IN SO. CALIF.!!
… very nicely! … and STILL IS being covered!
Haven’t seen muslim involvement here on East Coast. Not even beheadings in N.J.
No kidding, maybe we need to have Al-Jazeera in the US just to have one media outlet who will use the words “Islam” and “Muslim” when covering violence perpetrated by someone who is a Muslim who appears to be radicalized, and where that angle is under investigation by law enforcement. That’s A PROBLEM.
IT WAS COVERED BY THE MEDIA HERE IN SO. CALIF.!!
… very nicely! … and STILL IS being covered!
Must be in San Diego. That’s the base of conservatism in So Cal.
We can’t be so PC that we engage in idiotic self-censorship.
What if a video game addict precision shoots at 4 cars, wounding 2 and killing a 9 yr old boy but is not muslim and does not shout allah akbar, and has no obvious motive? Would anybody even suspect a shia nation state could have recruited a shooter that would be blamed on random gun violence or mental problems? Would anyone notice that Scott Creighton who is obviously aligned with Iran and Al Queda would theorize that it was a terrorist false flag attack to cover up a Vevak intelligence operation? http://willyloman.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/nhan-lap-tran-and-gun-safety-bills-in-minnesota-coincidence/
What if an ex-marine shoots another ex-marine like Chris Kyle, just like Nidal Hasan shot other soldiers, the most hated sniper by jihadists, but nobody suspects it was an assasination except this guy?
http://willyloman.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/chris-kyle-shot-the-devil-is-dead-in-texas/
If a man bursts into a theater like the commandos in Mumbai shooting women and children, then lays a bomb trap in his apartment, for no apparent reason just like a terrorist, would anybody even suspect it was a terrorist operation using a non-muslim?
Would anybody link this to the Iran chain murders?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_murders_of_Iran
Relax, a bit Joe.
Not a reporter, just a thinking, investigating, reasoning concerned American.
Thanks for the link. ‘ fixing to check it out.
I appreciate it.
I think we all just need to take an nice big deep breath, breath in ……. breath out; breeeeth in, …..breeeeth out…
Now, what we all need to realize with these faithful servants of Allah is that they, in this killing of unbelievers, are just practicing their religion.
(I’m playing the devil’s advocate here…)
We have freedom of religion in this nation and thus, as long as we refrain from making the practice of Islam in this nation a crime, all acts done under the order of that din we must accept as mere worship to Allah—which is what Islam defines the acts as—as brutal and bloodletting as some of these acts of worship are.
That’s NOT the point!
The Point is why isn’t the Media reporting it?
(as if they are NOT doing so… which is a LIE… was covered here!)
Didn’t hear about it in my state.
I guess the media in your area is corrupt… That’s probably TRUE…
… BUT, not everywhere!
MSM is corrupt all over the US. The MSM will tell you if a perp is white, black or hispanic, the word Muslim is USUALLY no spoken, I have no clue why. In the UK they call the Muslims Asian. If I was Asian, that would piss me off. If seems the MSM doesn’t want to hurt the Muslims feelings, well then they shouldn’t use the terms white, black, hispanic or Asian. You may have heard that on a local station,but not country wide. I am sure you heard about Tyvon murder. Where the median went straight to black and white. The perp was hispantic. That is what is wrong MSM they to divide this country by race or color.

I thought the question was the Media NOT reporting the Event!
Now, I see! They MAY report the Event BUT call anyone “Muslim”!
I reread the News article very carefully… They called the guy “the shooter” or by his name… They NEVER used the word Muslim although, just based on his name, it was probably very obvious that he was… BUT, unless specifically asked if he was a Muslim or not, they would not really KNOW if he was or wasn’t a Muslim.
Sorry for my misunderstanding…
I appreciate your appology. Thanks
Hey, Joe.
If you have a link to a report or clip on these incidents in which they (reporters) are addressing the known fact that the most probable motive behind these incidents is armed jihad on the part of the believers in their war against non-believers, I welcome having those links.
If such links are out there, beyond this site and others like it, by all means, lead the way.
The question was NOT a qualified Muslim’s crimes for whatever reason (including Jihad) committed was not being reported!
The question was “If a Muslim ……….. , would the Media mention it?”

… very nicely! … and STILL IS being covered!
Again, Joe, I welcome you providing us with the links that show they are covering these incidents, digging beyond the crust of the report, as good reporters ought to do.
Again, if you have the links to support your claims above, provide them.
I am NOT a Reporter… sounds like you are…
Here is a Link that clearly disputes the subject of This Creeping Sharia report:
Ch. 7 KABC local Los Angeles:
http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/national_world&id=8998910
Perhaps you could find more if you Googled it… as I said, I don’t know.
If you are a Reporter and you don’t know where to look to find the News, it seems like you’re in the wrong business… Reporters need to have a ‘nose’ for News and have developed sources to find the News.
Does this help?
to help you better understand the question “it” refers to the perpetrator being Muslim not the incident – in case you didn’t bother to click the link, it goes to an ABC report of the incident making it rather obvious these incidents were covered and rendering your point moot
Thanks for that link, Joe.
I had seen that report as well as few others on it already.
The issue at discussion here is just what another commentator here commented on above and you responded to.
He is absolutely correct there.
Put another way, subsequent to mass shootings, typically, everyone (used liberally there) in the world jumps out stating, we have a gun problem, we have this issue, that issue, and on down the line.
But does anyone in the main stream media or in the lineup of our elected officials, step forward, toss open the books on Islam, put them up on the “screen,” and with Allah’s word and the “Prophet’s Sunnah on display, state, “People, we have an Islamic problem in America.”
No they do not.
Thus, over and over again, we have a new line up of our dead to gather up, so much so, we are almost used to stacking our dead up like cord wood, clean up the mess, ready our selves, as much as possible, for the next hit. Wondering, just how bad will it be. Where it will come from? What name, what reason, if any, we can search through dumpsters to tack on to the hit and call it, “accounted for.”
Far more one can add on this….
Time forces this one here to, for now, be brief on it, but I’ll add the following.
Just because–in these hits such as these in which “players” openly use their Muslim names, as well as many other “Biilly-Bob” hits if you will, but hits where things just flat fail to add up—the player or players in the hits do not jump up on a table, scream Allah Akbar!!! Choke us, shake us until our eyes bulge out, does not mean it is not an Islamic hit, right out of Allah’s playbook.
“…media???”
What’s that?
oh yeah…the Propaganda Machine sponsored by governments and the very rich!
Roger.
