The 21-year-old terrorist has received extensive media coverage. He has succeeded in telling all Islamists (and other extremists on the left and right) what he thinks about LGBT Pride.

July can scarcely be called the “silly season” when deadly heatwaves and major wildfires are now ravaging half of Europe.

Why, then, such colossal media coverage of an incident that resulted in only one death in a park in Berlin?

Does consideration for Pride take precedence over all other values in this world?

For what is it that our media do NOT write about? During the very same week that the terrorist went on the rampage in Berlin, around twenty other Islamist attacks were recorded elsewhere. A Fedayeen suicide bomber in Pakistan took 15 others with him to their deaths. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 16 innocent people were massacred. In Niger, 16 residents were cut down in a jihadist attack. In Sudan, 45 dead and injured – including children – had to be counted after a raid on a market in the town of Tina. Figures provided by embassies and news agencies show that over the past 30 days there have been 455 dead and 380 injured.

We have not heard a single word about these. Most were terrorist attacks, but a few may have been honour killings and sharia executions.

Since 9/11, 49,746 deadly terrorist attacks “in the Name of Islam” have been recorded (see TheReligionofPeace.com or JihadWatch.org). Every attack has involved loss of human life, ranging from single-digit to double-digit, and sometimes triple-digit death tolls.

Should not NTB, NRK, TV 2 and the woke newspapers have a responsibility to inform the public about the number of innocent civilians who continually have to lose their lives because they believe and think as they do?
