I'm saying only that there should be no double standard in  media reporting
on the identity and background of any figures of this sort on any side of a
conflict.
If "Islamicists," "Muslims," and so on are routinely identified, and African
Americans and Latinos etc routinely identified by ethnic group, than it's good
for the gander, too.

As for Pearl's murderers, I would like to seem them arrested, tried and
punished to the full extent of the country's laws.
