Yellow Journalism

On The Economist news article, 'China politics: Another knife attack in Guangzhou' (7th May 2014).

In the third such attack in three months, six people were injured Tuesday in a knife attack at the main ralroad station in Guangzhou.


Guangzhou police said late Tuesday that there was only one assailant, who was shot and arrested, but witnesses earlier in the day described as many as four men who they said were positioned in different parts of the station.


Witnesses described attackers as being dressed in white and wearing white caps, often worn by Muslims, but it was unclear if they were Uighurs, the minority implicated in the earlier train station attacks. 


MYCOMMENT: Like seriously, you don't need to report "often worn by Muslims" now, do you.

In our world today, where our world is trying to become one in the age of globalization, those who don't conform will become a pariah, a stigma, a black sheep of the global village. The rule of the world are define by what they say, we won't have a voice. So wearing a 'muslim' cloth will surely stand out. That will be the first thing that they see. A muslim who is going to bomb their next flight now goes about stabbing people. ;)
