I was listening to Gold 90.5 FM at around 12 noon today when Melissa was reporting about the latest South Korean hostage situation and she referred to Taliban fighters as "Islamic millitants - rather Islamic elements".
'Elements'? Isn't that like referring to ALL Muslims everywhere as being the same as Taliban fighters because everyone of them possess quite a few Islamic elements!?

very well-timed post. Just when i was looking through rose-tinted glasses and was 50% convinced that Singapore doesn't have a long way to go when it comes to racial and religious tolerance. Makes me wonder - are we muslims just too over-sensitive or do some people just need a crash course in tact and civility..?
