Briefly: Moroccans march against terrorism

[ClubMed]

Hundreds of thousands of Moroccans brandishing portraits of their king and of victims of a series of suicide bombings marched through Casablanca on Sunday to say "no to terrorism."
.
Marchers began their protest at the Farah Hotel, one of five targets in the nearly simultaneous attacks May 16 that left 31 bystanders dead and wounded about a hundred others. Twelve of the 14 suicide bombers - all Moroccans - were killed. The two survivors were arrested, the police said.
.
Muslim fundamentalists, often a major force in protest marches here, were notably absent from the throngs - estimated by the Interior Ministry at 500,000.

Notice how short the article is? Normal peace loving Arabs are not popular in the mass media because agendas need to be pushed and the readers opinions have to be 'forced' in a certain direction. That's why when half a million Arabs march against terrorism, the Internation Herald Tribune writes about it 'briefly'.

I hope to see more articles like this. Even if they are short. Only when the populace of a country condemns immoral acts will the groups perpetrating those horrors be routed out.

But if ten percent of that number march against the US, it's front page news. Seriously.

I guess it's a universal constant that the vicious, violent minority always grabs the headlines and the decent "silent majority" in any culture or society is always ignored or given only the briefest of notice by the media.
