A while ago, Loonwatch was added to the aggregator on this site.

Along with some good pieces and articles, they also have what may be a series where the titles go something like "person/group X did/said [Fact Y]. What if it was by Muslims?" The message is that these are "shocking stories", but the media does not focus on them simply because they were not done by Muslims.

The argument also seems to ... stink of "self victimisation", playing an angle of us being oppressed. To me atleast.

This type of argument irritates me for some reason. It feels false and I am sure there are also many crimes committed by Muslims which are not sensationalised.

Am I wrong to be irritated? Would most crimes be made more sensational if there was a "Muslim angle" to the story?
