Ohio Children Attacked at Mosque, Mainstream Media Stays Silent
| October 6th, 2008From The Curvature (who I swiped the post title from):
On Friday September 26, a chemical/gas was sprayed into a Dayton, Ohio mosque room where children and babies were kept while their mothers prayed during a Ramadan service. A ten-year-old girl was sprayed directly in the face. Coincidentally or not, this attack came at the end of a week in which thousands of copies of the Islamophobic DVD Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West were distributed in Ohio through the mail and local newspapers. The media is all but entirely ignoring this story. And the one main news source that is reporting on the story is heavily implying that bloggers are exaggerating the situation.
Is there any reason to doubt that if this had happened to the day-care room in a Christian church, during services, it would be a huge news story?

Hey, I linked to this story in the open thread days ago. Don’t you read your own blog?

Yes, the girl supposedly didn’t even go to the emergency room, something that is generally reported even when the victim is just treated there and released.
