First Title : Islam Terrorist Man - shot & killed In Canada after he murdered a Troop
A bit like our Lee Rigby case http://news.sky.com/story/1357158/at...ks-terror-fear Live On SkyNewsHD not on BBC Last edited by arista; 22-10-2014 at 06:23 PM. |

"radical islam man" - is it really relevant to specify someone's religion in a news story? You wouldn't put "fundamentalist christian woman" or "jewish rabbi man"..

So, he's now a terrorist because he killed a man? I bet you don't refer to someone like Oscar Pistorius as one.

Well in this case the fact that the attacker had apparently been radicalised is pretty relevant to the story

We don't know that he has been radicalised though, he may just be a muslim that also happens to have wanted to kill someone for whatever reason - the fact that he's a soldier may also be irrelevant. Everyone is jumping to conclusions.

Reported as such, however that does not mean that sky news has picked up on information that was not relevant to the story. I am not accusing anyone of islamophobia by the way!

If it is a terror attack like it is being reported, how is his religion or that fact that he was radicalised 'irrelevant'? It's part of the story

You're missing the point. The fact that he may have been radicalised does not mean that religion is his motive to kill.

So it's just a coincidence that he's an Islamic soldier?

So you're just splitting hairs for the sake of saving face? If that's what the Canadian police are reporting has happened, for the reasons it happened, then i don't see how it's supposed to be reported any differently.

Yes Canada has Troops fighting in Iraq
so in Canada they have to watch out for this. Just like we lost our Troop (Lee Rigby) in London when he was Run over Last edited by arista; 21-10-2014 at 03:10 PM. |

All the links to radical Islam are carefully worded to make sure the inference is there but no conclusive. Its not good enough to say 'Authorities believes he may have been radicalized' . Particularly when its a Christian who commits such a crime the media tries its hardest to not state any religious following. There is nothing conclusive in the article stating he was a known terrorists and the final sentence states they have found 'no ties to 'Islamic militant groups . Its just a lot of supposition. Also the comparisons to Lee Rigby are down right misleading and take up the too much of the article in comparison to the proof - or lack of it - that the suspect was tied to Islamic militant groups.
Nice 'journalism' from Sky as usual.

"A "radicalised" man who ran over two Canadian soldiers was one of 90 suspected militants being tracked by police, officials said."
Nuff said here for me.Pretty sure he's a terrorist.He was a "suspected militant" and he ran over two soldiers,Unless it was an accident it would be pretty hard to believe this was not an act of terrorism. |

wtf are you talking about? of course it's relevant. If this was a radical christian killing abortion clinic doctors we'd be saying the same thing about the role religion played in the attack. You must be a Guardian reader.
