Great points, especially the ISIS/KKK comparison. The media constantly tries to make the point that, if anyone identified as a Muslim commits a violent act, Islam itself must be to blame. The same logic is not invoked in the corporate media if a Christian commits an act of violence.The number of posts on this site equating Islam with a religion of terror show how successful this media scapegoating has been.
As to rarely seeing coverage of ISIS atrocities, I agree again, but will also point out that the American media never shows the numerous bombing raids or drone attacks that are carried out all the time by the US in Pakistan, Yemen, and who really knows where else. We never see the targeted killings, all done in the name of freedom, that kill thousands of innocent civilians.
Watch "Dirty Wars" by Jeremy Scahill to see a little bit of how the new way of making war affects the faraway victims of violence. Watch the transcript of the Madeleine Albright interview regarding the deaths of over 500,000 Iraqi children during the Clinton Presidency.
Is she not every bit as sociopathic as any ISIS killers? We do not see these things reported by the American media because these non-American deaths do not matter.
