I keep seeing attacks on Muslims here and how they all support suicide bombers [Spirituality & Religion]

How come I have seen no mention of the fact that everyone from his Imam to his family and friends reported the Manchester bomber to the police? The Muslim community tried to stop this. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/salman-abedi-manchester-attack-reported-family-imam-friends-did-nothing-a7757726.html

Oh, and please, before I get more ridiculous attacks saying that I am some Muslim apologist, please be aware that I am an atheist. I actually believe that religion causes far more harm than good. I just disagree with the lies and propaganda. If you are going to attack something, at least be honest about it.

Everyone is acting irrational for a reason. It's not right what everyone's doing but I can't blame them. The coverage on the actual important stuff is just too little to get to the affected people. So all they see is that another crazed extremists blew himself up.

@GermanAf: the problem is that news has fallen victim to the whole viewership/ratings thing. It isn't about objective truth any more.

@Laifu1: I don't think it ever was. All the way back when Jesus was apparently still cruising only the stuff people wanted to hear was told to everyone. In the medieval times only what the kings and queens (and probably the church) wanted to get out actually got out. It has always been controlled, and it most likely always will be. That's just the way it is. People don't care about the stuff behind the scenes. It's sad really.

@GermanAf: yeah, but the purpose of the media was to fix that.

@Laifu1: The internet does a good job at that sometimes. Some independent news sites do report everything. It just needs to get to the people.

@GermanAf: as with most things, it has become about what makes the most money. It is sad that we have to go to small, independent sites for our news now
