Not feeling good about Greta's live tv report on Isis killing christians in Iraq [View all]

It is probably all true and of course murder is wrong.

But she's painting it as a binary sequence of events: all Muslim against all christians.

Nothing that happens in the middle east is that simple. It sure feels like she's on the muslim-hate train, and fomenting the right wing christian persecution complex.

She never mentioned that they kill their own muslims as well.

Really showing her bias here. Not feeling good about it.
