Goodness, not everything is racism, guys. Religiously motivated terrorist attacks get more attention on the news because of what they are and the fear they instill in people. Not because the perp has brown skin.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.

You're basically saying, local news doesn't make international news, but international news does make international news. RE: And now, Stockholm...

Nope.
Can't we just agree that this was yet another horrible terrorist attack, feel bad for the people effected, say the perp was a scum bag, and just leave it at that? Do we really have to use every opportunity to be politically correct SJW's and bring race into this as though the attacker is some sort of victim of the media because he has brown skin?

There is a harsh reality here that the easier you make it for people to kill people, the more people will be killed. If strangulation was the only way to kill someone, the murder rate in the USA would plummet.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
