[The Straight Story]

people often make ties to muslims, or even christians when there is an obvious relation to the story at hand (such as, the government worked with so and so because of their ties to such and such christian church, or the people who did x were islamic or muslim).

basically, in this story we have someone jewish supplying ammo to kill people who are mostly islamic - which is a flash point in that region as we all know.

We often have no problem with bringing the religion of people into issues, except when it involves judaism. As a Christian myself I have a real soft spot for people of the jewish faith/race, but I don't see the need to treat news stories any differently because of that.

If he had been a member of Rod Parsely's church it probably would have been mentioned for example.

If saying things about folks of the jewish faith is seen as hatred, what do we call it when we say things about people of other faiths?
