Answer: From...

• Terrorists who kill innocent women and children.
• Suicide bombers who die in order to kill.
• Men who oppress women out of some deep psychological malady.
• Brothers who kill their sisters because of a perceived sexual indiscretion.
• Young Muslim men who crash airplanes into buildings after taking flying lessons in the West.
• Crowds who rejoice when Americans, and other westerners, are murdered.
• Young men who blow up subway travelers in a country that housed and fed them
• Young men who blow up train travelers in a nation that did them no harm.
• Freaks who cut off heads on video tape yelling something about Allah being great
• and so on

The Western media reports this stuff, Nawab. It doesn't make it up.
