there are some crazy muslim conspiracy theories about 9/11 and ISIS as perpetrated by jews and the CIA. are you saying that muslim countries are stupid enough to believe that?

Now look in here:

Al Jazeera English


you see anything in there about killing for jesus? or is a good portion of it about islamist violence as well?
I forgot to point out. Your link is to aljazeera America. The targeted audience is USA non-Muslims. It reflects that bias.

Media is a profit based business. News even when honest, will be worded in a manner acceptable to the targeted audience.

In an Islamic nation if a criminal is Muslim it is not likely his religion is mentioned. However, if he is not Muslim that will probably be mentioned.

The same happens in Christian nations. if a criminal is Christian his religion will probably not be mentioned, but if he is Muslim it will probably be mentioned.
Media Bias does exist but its utterly naive to place most or all of the blame on that as to why "we keep on asking the same question, [about violence in Islam,] and don't ask the same question about Christianity and Judaism"

Now look at this:
Roman Catholic Church Sex Abuse Scandal

Did it not mention the christian religion responsible?

And this

BBC NEWS | Americas | US boy dies during 'exorcism'


Bro, the media reports the religious affiliation if the event is related to religion. Doesnt matter if its christianity, islam or whatever.

The reason your religion gets a lot of spotlight is because there is just too much violence, abuses & discrimination committed in the name of Islam.
