Salt Lake's Desert News has singled out a few web sites for stating that the Salt Lake City killer was a Muslim. They are upset, it seems, by the "barrage of vitriolic e-mails" they received from people angry at the paper for not mentioning the murderer's religion and/or certain that the killer was a terrorist. Well, I thought journalism involved reporting the facts. Fact, the killer was a Muslim. Fact, he did terrorize the mall, just ask anyone who was there and is alive to talk about it. Are these two facts related or mere coincidence? We don't know yet, but they are still facts and need to be reported.
Little green footballs makes short work of his dead from the neck up critics. Also mentioned in the Desert news snit are Michael Savage and Jihad Watch.
Maybe the Desert News should follow up on this interview with the killer's father.
