Recently a US military member, Muslim and of Palestinian ancestory and
serving as a psychyatrist for US military patients, shot several fellow US military
people. Within 24 hours the US president had already told the public "don't over
react inappropriately to this incident", and the BBC was already broadcasting an
interview with the perp's uncle about how "mocking jokes of muslim's wearing baby
diapers for headwear, had disturbed the perp." So while US & UK international
radio handeled the matter appropriate to the reality that "you can't hide the
details of such incidents these days", Germany's DW didn't even mention that he
was a Muslim. I've been watching the morphing of language, for PeeCee reasons in
anglo societies over recent decades, and noticed that German speaking societies
didn't seem to follow that trend. How can the German's be so different? Do their
leaders/DW really keep them ignorant or is it just politeness to pretend that
they don't know ... -- where babies come from?
