Letter to the Editor
News coverage focusing on the wrong world topics

There has been wide coverage of late focusing on Muslim rioting and protesting over the pope's comments about Islam.

The comments were deliberately taken out of context to ferment rage. Largely absent has been reporting on the violent undertones of these protests and the radical Islamists who organized them - the same ones who would support atrocities against those who disagree with their religion or its current violent tendencies. However, when 35,000 people protest the Holocaust-denying, nuclear-seeking, Jew-hating President Ahmadinejad of Iran on the streets of New York, does any major news agency pick it up? No, not a single one reported that 35,000 people peacefully protested this disgusting excuse for a man and stood up in support of Israel.
