I just thought of this:

Scenario: Man walks into a department store, kills 8 ppl cuz he got fired.

The News: "A man walked into a dept. store today and killed 8 ppl."

Notice it doesn't, and won't, say: "A Presbyterian man walked into a dept store and killed 8 ppl."

Scenario: Muslim man walks into a dept store and kills 8 ppl cuz he got fired.

The News: "A Muslim extremist walked into a dept store today and killed 8 ppl."

Every time. I've never heard, I don't think, a murderer's religion so much as mentioned in passing, unless Muslimness was involved.

Baptists, Catholics, Presbyterians, Mormons, Latter Day Saints, Amish (ok, maybe not the Amish), Apostolics all kill people, but, religion is never mentioned.

Why is that?

Now I'm done.
