I don't expect to see the word Muslim in any MSM story about this incident. It would not be PC.

Yet early in the original article they made a point of identifying him as white.

I have no problem with a suspect being identified as white. I definitely think the public deserves to have a description and to know who they should be looking out for.

My problem is with the lack of a description when a suspect is not white. Even worse, is the attempt to deflect any negative attention away from a non-white, non-Christian, non-supposedly-oppressed-and-misunderstood-group.

Pretending a problem doesn’t exist, doesn’t make it go away. In fact, it helps it to thrive.

You are correct. None of the local stations, here in Miami (NOT "Maim-Me ~sigh~) have mentioned his religion. I wonder, when the cops blew him away, was he screaming Allah-Hu Akbar?
