Print media needs to halt cover up

It is now high time for some reality print media coverage of Iraqi Muslims' torturous and deadly treatment of Christians in that country. The recent deception by Muslims to lure a woman back to the country with the lie that her brothers might dead only to torture her into converting from her Christian faith to Islam typifies the oppression all Christians feel by Muslims in Iraq today. What part of peace-loving Islam is represented in this demeaning and disrespectful behavior by persons submissive to Allah? If Islam is so attractive as a religion, why would one need to torture Christians into accepting it? Where is the outcry from the Muslim Imam community against this behavior, if it isn't representative of Islam? To the degree that Muslim spiritual leaders do not decry this ludicrous behavior, rational thinking people can only draw the conclusion that Islam is inherently violent and abusive as a religion beginning with male treatent of women and oppressive of humanity in general, not unlike cultic sects anywhere in the world. How long will the American print media tolerate "politically correct" silence about this violation of the civil rights of human beings done in the name of Muhammed?
