I’d like you to imagine for a moment what would happen if a group of conservative Christians had been arrested for driving around shooting gay men with a BB gun and filming the shootings. Do you think the reaction would be muted or would there be a mild outcry ? Do you think the prosecuting attorney would keep quiet about the story or would go public to condemn the attacks ?

I think we all know what the reaction would be.

But it seems things are different when the attackers are Muslim.

To be clear I am not suggesting that the officials are not prosecuting the case. Indeed they are now looking to file new charges against them.

But as you will note from the stories the attacks took place in February and even to this point the coverage has been very minimal.
