“I can see why you’d say that,” McRay replied, “since today an event like that would probably be splashed all over CNN and the rest of the news media.” I agreed. In fact, in 1997 and 1998 there was a steady stream of news accounts about Muslim extremists repeatedly staging commando raids and slaying virtually entire villages, including women and children, in Algeria.
Not sure if this one-off mention of islamic extremists should be filed under islamophobia, but I now want to keep an eye out for this going forward.
