The world was recently shocked by the brutal terrorist attack committed by Anders Behring Breivik, a White Christian, in Oslo, Norway, which thus far has left 93 people dead and a similar number wounded. Predictably as the news story broke, however, some media outlets quickly pronounced without facts that this dreadful attack was perpetrated by Muslims.
In fact even after Breivik has basically confessed to this crime against humanity, irresponsible media still blame Muslims for the attack on-line.

Anti-Muslim bigot Michael Savage recently even went as far as to not only blame Muslims but also liberalism and even President Obama indirectly for the attack.

Perhaps, Investor’s Business Daily, Michael Savage and Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post need a refresher course in terrorism in America, primarily committed by White folks who are not Muslims.
In March of this year, White supremacist Christian Kevin Harpman attempted to bomb a MLK Day parade in Washington State. In January of this year in Arizona, Joseph Loughner killed 16 people including a federal judge and injured 14 in a shooting rampage. And let’s not forget the February 2010 suicide attack of Joseph Stack, who wrote an anti-government, anti-IRS manifesto, then flew an airplane into a building in Texas, which killed an African-American war hero, who worked for the IRS.
In the case of Loughner and Stack, their acts of terror were not labeled as terrorism by the government or corporate media and were dismissed as acts of mentally unstable persons, almost like they had a bad moments or a bad day. When it comes to non-Whites or foreigners, especially when they’re Muslims, the terrorist label seems so easily applied. The inverse, however, is not.
Below is a refresher of some terror incidents in America as of 2001 in which Muslims were not involved. (Compiled by The American Muslim – Sheila Musaji).
