Both events warrant our attention, and both should galvanize decent, thinking people together in denouncing extremist murders (and their aiders and abettors) in our midst.
I am, of course, referring to the murder of one of our soldiers, Private William Long, and the maiming of another, Private Quinton Ezeagwula, by Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad. I could, and would, go on, but the painful discrepancy between media coverage has already been well expounded on:
- Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic: "Why the shyness? Why not tell people what is actually happening in the world?"
- Michelle Malkin: "When a right-wing Christian vigilante kills, millions of fingers pull the trigger. When a left-wing Muslim vigilante kills, he kills alone."
- DrewM at Ace of Spades: "If only there had been an abortion clinic on [Muhammad's] list, then maybe the press and Obama would be interested."
President Obama: Your silence is deafening.
