"Don't Worry, We Don't Kill Muslims"

Bullet-riddled BBC reporter cried in Arabic for help from bystanders as they watch him bleed in Riyadh.
RIYADH - Riddled with bullets, BBC correspondent Frank Gardner pleaded for his life in the Saudi capital shouting to bystanders to help a fellow Muslim, a police officer said on Monday.
"I'm a Muslim, help me, I'm a Muslim, help me," the British father of two daughters cried in Arabic, the officer said.
Gardner was stretched on the road, covered in blood from multiple bullet wounds in a slum area of southern Riyadh known as a hotbed of hardliners.
A fluent Arabic speaker with a degree in Arab and Islamic Studies, he was carrying a small copy of the Koran, the Muslim holy book, a device used by Westerner reporters to try to reassure Islamist militants.
He was gravely wounded and his Irish cameraman Simon Cumbers killed Sunday evening as they filmed near the home of Ibrahim al-Rayyes, a wanted terror suspect killed in a clash with security forces in the area last December.
Gardner was in a coma on Monday at King Faisal Specialist Hospital after undergoing emergency surgery.
"He is in a coma and very critical," one doctor said, adding however that bleeding had stopped and "he has improved in the last six hours."
The 42-year-old was hit by many bullets to the stomach and feet and transferred to the capital's Al-Iman Hospital.
Saudi newspapers reported that the gunmen had left him for dead.
"Frank is in a critical but stable condition in intensive care after surgery," a British embassy spokesperson said earlier Monday.

hate is what is motivating these people to kill...
Would he have been helped if he WASN'T a Muslim? Why did he have to tell people that to TRY and get some help? That dosen't make any sense...
If I or anybody I know saw some dude on the street after being shot, RELIGION would be the last thing that came into my mind when trying to help him. The idea that a "religion" actually encourages its members to help only those of the same faith and allow others to die is appalling to me.
Keep supporting it you moron.

religion is like communism. both things arent bad in theory. but as soon as ppl practise either one of them, it has a good chance of sucking. two many ppl pervert religion. Im no fan of religion but I dont have a problem with believers as long as they dont pervert it. unfortunately that's not often the case nowadays.

that's why i don't practice religion....i believe in God, but i know i'm not a good example for people to follow...i would hate for my actions/habits to turn someone off or away from any religion...
if i were interested in islam and i came to this board....it would make me sick.....the same people that offer up scriptures from the Kuran in one thread....justify the killings of innocent people in another

This is how antipathy explained it and I found this to be a useful explanation for those who still aren't getting it...
"If you go into someones backyard to pick from his cherry tree without his permission but rather the permission of a guy on his property pointing a gun to his head, you have to expect that he won't like it. Now if you're getting an abnormally high amount of money to do it (and let's face it, that's the only reason any non-Muslim would go to Saudi Arabia) you have to suspect there is some RISK involved. That's the risk right there. These people knew what they were getting into."
