The media doesn't report positive things, generally. A man could go years working at homeless mothers and giving 20% of his income to help starving children in Africa and never make the news a single time. If after all those years, the same man goes out and kills a police officer, that man will be in the news for weeks following the murder.
Response: That's not true at all. If a killer is on the news, their background is always pointed out. Surely what got him on the news is killing but his good deeds would not have been dismissed. In the case of islam, this is not the case
at all.
This doesn't just apply to Islam. How many positive stories do you hear about the Catholic church? Most of the stories I see are about the pope saying stupid things, or priests abusing children. I grew up in a highly Catholic area, and I can tell you with great certainty that most Catholics are decent people. Would you view this is an attack on Catholicism?
Response: But the catholic church is praised highly in the world and so is the pope despite the his remarks.
When the pope does something, the pope is held accountable, not the catholics or the catholic religion. Yet if a muslim does something, all of islam and the muslims is to blame. That's the difference. The media will literally open up islamic scriptures and quote the texts that they claim support acts of violence in the news. The catholic bible is never disected in the media despite the gruesome stories it has in it's text.
In any case, the good actions of Muslims don't make up for the bad actions of Muhammed, just as the good actions of Catholics don't make up for the stupid things the pope says, or the abuse of children by priests. And even if there were some conspiracy to attack Islam, that wouldn't mean that Muhammed was innocent.
