Police Search for Answers in Wisconsin Shooting

If a muslim did this at a mosque, Islam would be blamed. Not only that, but the fact that the man is a muslim would have been mentioned in the headline as well. Of course, since in this article, the man was a christian and not a muslim, it's not really mentioned all that much.

Seriously. If he was a muslim, the headline "Police Search for Answers in Wisconsin Shooting" would turn into something like, "Police Look For Answers in Muslim Shooting." Small change, big difference.
