Both articles however lead me to believe that people are still having trouble seperating in their minds the difference between an everyday normal person who practices Islam, and a terreroist though, which is sad.

Oh yes, here too, and in DK too.

You hear about as much about violence against muslims over here as you hear about muslims condeming the terrorists.
again, same here..


Which imho only leads to more hate and fear , as if that is what the medias goal is...to promote scandal and fear, to get "rateings"...which I guess shouldnt be all that surprising considering all the majior media here is controled by corperate interests, which means all they really care about is profit.
I am afraid you are only too right here.

Violence against muslims is not nearly as wide spread as fear of them by any means from what I can tell.
But I imagine that the muslims themselves feel it differently.

So stupid being hard on them (every where it happens) you only force a friend, or at least a neutral, into an enemy, and in your midst too.

I have read a couple of articles by muslims explaining their place between a rock and a hard place, between their radical fellow-muslims wanting them to take action, and non-muslims seeing them as terrorists!
