Suppose we reported on atrocities commited by terrorists without attaching their religious moniker to them. Would that reduce the impact of these activities. Would that reduce the mileage (publicity) that these groups get for their respective causes or religions?
Just wondering…..
How much impact does “10 terrorist attack 5 star hotels in Mumbai, India” have as compared to “10 Islamic jihadist target foreigners in 5 start hotels in this Hindu country”
This is not to say that we are ignoring the fact that these are terrorist fighting purportedly for an Islamic cause. That needs to be tackled at a political and diplomatic level. However by not giving it significant air time we could be able to reduce the glorification and hence attractiveness of these causes to the young and disillusioned.
