"White and Muslim"

4/24/2013

10 Comments

 
Some of the things I'm wondering amid all the chatter about the identity of the Boston bombing suspects:

What percentage of Muslims worldwide are "white"? (Although what's white in the USA isn't always white in other places.)

What percentage of Muslims in the USA are white?

Is "white Muslim" an oxymoron to some people?

Why does it matter if the bombers are white?

What, exactly, is an "ethnic Chechnyan"? Does that mean a person from Chechnya is a different ethnicity than a person from, say, Georgia or Azerbaijan? Is this the same thing as an American being a Southerner or a Westerner? 

These are not, for me, rhetorical questions. I really don't know, and I'd like to figure it all out.

Good questions. I came across this chart doing some wikipedia reading. It might be a start on Ethnic Chechnya.

Your first question should be why didn't AP and all major nets NOT mention ethnicity of suspects. Couldn't say WHITE while local stations/journos.....Boston police said WHITE repeatedly. Someone listening ONLY to NPR in Boston wouldn't have known what suspects looked like. Whatever the suspects ended up being - REPORT IT - age, gender, race..etc..etc..Political Correctness has ruined journalism and at FT. Hood.....culpable in many deaths.

Your own 1st question should be the reason why did not AP and many major nets NOT talk about ethnicity regarding suspects. Could not declare WHITENED though nearby stations/journos..... Boston ma authorities said WHITENED continuously. Somebody being attentive Merely to NPR in Boston ma would not have acknowledged precisely what suspects looks like. No matter the suspects appeared being - DOCUMENT IT - grow older, gender, battle.. for example.. for example.. Politics Correctness offers destroyed journalism and at FT. Bonnet..... culpable in numerous deaths.
