Kony 2012: How would the media report on Joseph Kony if he was Muslim?
The way in which KONY 2012 is being reported illustrates a clear bias and double standard in reporting. The crimes that Kony and the LRA have committed are acts of terror and should be labeled as such.
Steve Huntley misrepresents the facts on Palestine / Israel
In his opinion piece, "Palestinian state would expel Jews", Steve Huntley of the Chicago Sun-Times skews the realities of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict by ignoring international law and crucial historical events.
Chicago Sun-Times: Letter to the editor - Stop the NDAA
Communications intern Aabeda Masra's published letter to the Chicago Sun-Times regarding their lack of coverage on the National Defense Authorization Act.
Sun-Times: U.S. oversteps boundary
I read Neil Steinberg's Oct. 3 column, "Suddenly they trust Obama to kill people." I appreciate that he pointed out that the murder of Anwar al-Awlaki’s violates the Constitution.
Daily Herald: Cal Thomas Israel Column Ludicrous
The Sept. 21 opinion piece in the Daily Herald, "Israel's future under siege from U.N.," by Cal Thomas was inflammatory and illogical.
Daily Herald: Don't blame religion for terrorism
Terms like “radical Islam” reflect negatively on a peaceful religion. The terrorists who recognize themselves as Muslims are not true followers of the religion as Islam condemns the killing of innocents. Therefore, the term “Islam” should be avoided in the discourse of terrorism and 9/11.

The Denial of Islamophobia
Faux liberal and pro-occupation advocate, New Republic editor Martin Peretz is back at it again. Last fall, he caused a firestorm with his racist comments that “Muslim life is cheap”. On Monday, he dished out some raw Islamophobia-denial in a gullible column entitled “The Invention of Islamophobia.”
Demonizing Journalists: The Corporate Media's Bias Against the Arab World
CNN’s recent decision to fire their Senior Middle Eastern Affairs Editor Octavia Nasr showcases the mainstream, corporate media’s bias against the Arab world.

SUN-TIMES: Conflict in Israel, Palestine is political -- not religious
Amina Sharif writes, "The conflict in Israel and Palestine is political, not religious. It is not between Jews and Muslims; it is between the government of Israel and the people of Palestine (who are Muslim and Christian). "In reality, many Jews -- even in Israel -- sympathize with the Palestinians and criticize their own government's policies toward Gaza and the West Bank."
Israel’s kind acts in Haiti create double-standard
In his op-ed Nasatir highlights the amazing efforts by Jews in America and Israel in the humanitarian crisis in Haiti and for this, I truly commend them. But what about the humanitarian crisis in Palestine? Israeli checkpoints violate Palestinians' basic human rights by denying medical vehicles and services. This contrasts sharply with Israel generously building a hospital in Haiti.
Public Prayer is Universal
Thank you, Neil, for you intelligent, informed article "Fear and loathing in the cat food aisle" (Dec. 13). I am appalled by the attitude of the letter writer who said she wanted to physically assault three Muslim women praying in a Costco, and your response that "hating other people is like taking poison and expecting someone else to die" is right on target.
Sun-Times: Steinberg is on point
I was pleasantly surprised to find myself in complete agreement with Neil Steinberg's column, "Before you generalize about the major."

Sun-Times: Hate crimes hurt groups
"Hate crimes are designed to hurt an entire group of people and therefore should receive extra attention," said CAIR-Chicago Communications Intern, Nicholas Short.
Survey proves bias stem from ignorance
Thank you for printing your Sept. 10 article "Survey: Muslims face a lot of bias," featuring a Pew Research Center study on growing tolerance by Americans toward Muslims. This piece brings awareness to the fact that Muslims all over America have often been victims of discrimination.
Portrayal of Islam
I was disappointed that the letters you chose to run in response to your Aug. 22 editorial "The burquini ban" expressed an extremely inaccurate portrayal of Islam. Sharia actually condemns forced marriages and so-called "honor killings."
Fanatic, or terrorist?
I was surprised that your article on Jose Flores, who described himself as a Christian priest after hijacking a jetliner, does not call Flores a terrorist (“Police nab jet hijacker in Mexico,” Sept. 10, 2009).
