As yet another unfortunate mass murder has occurred, the media couldn’t resist but automatically portray the shooter, Omar Mateen, as a “US citizen of Afghan descent” with “ties to radical Islam.”
Premature labelling obviously leads to horrendous consequences, but allow me to pose a thought experiment for you doubters and Radical Islam afficianados: if the shooter was white/black/Asian…or even had a funky Norwegian name, would the majority of the media call to question his background and ancestry?
Stop jumping to conclusions and TLDRing.
