Since no-one ever takes a middle-view. Everyone (well the media anyway) strongly takes a side and then vehemently sticks to it ignoring everything wrong their own chosen side does.
Perhaps acedemics are different I don't know. I would hope so.
And like fuck Islam is at the centre of anything terrorism related. Has he ever heard of FARC? Tamil Tigers? Who also suicide bomb. Of course the media doesn't care about Colombia because that might interrupt their cocaine supply. And the phrase "Islam is at the heart of" is quite dodgy to be frank. As any anti-Islam terrorism is obviously bracketed in with that as well.
