Mainstream news agencies have always been reluctant to consider the obvious whenever a Muslim goes on a killing spree.
Ten years ago, a Palestinian English teacher named Ali Abu Kamal went to the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State Building, pulled out a pistol, and opened fire. He killed one person and wounded six others before killing himself. Even though letters ranting about the U. S. and Israel were found on the killer's body, the media quickly embraced the story that Karnal was despondent and suicidal due to some bad business deals.
This week, the killer’s daughter (who now works for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees)
admitted that this story was a complete fraud. She wants the world to know that her father was “martyred for patriotic motivations,” even though the family had been directly instructed to lie about it by the Palestinian Authority.
