As atrocious as the terrorists are, the greatest tragedy in my estimate is that the entire class of alleged journalists are conspicuously incompetent at providing information of any detectible utility.

This incompetence is most acute recently in their persistent refusal to state the obvious Islamic identity of so many terrorists. They are instead deemed to be “south asian” or “disgruntled youths” or “angry dissidents” but almost NEVER as Islamic Jihadists.

Of course terrorists have arisen from other cultures. But it takes a breathtaking obstinacy to deny the ubiquitously Islamic agression that has been going forward against all their neighbors and even their co-religionists around the world in the last decades.

When news organizations consistently withhold information critical to making sense of the patterns of events, you have to conclude that those organizations are themselves part of the problem.
