The Media That Made Rodney King A Household Word Won't Touch Alaa Alsaegh

So nu, who is Alaa Alsaegh?
Alaa Alsaegh is an Arab who had a Jewish star carved into him back--by Muslims, in St. Louis, Missouri:

A certain Arab author by the name of Mr. Alaa Alsaegh, an immigrant to the U.S. from Iraq, was attacked on August 14, 2011, by Muslims in the streets of St. Louis, Missouri. They stabbed him and carved a Star of David onto the flesh of his back. His crime? He published an Arabic language poem titled “Tears at the Heart of the Holocaust” on the website ArabsForIsrael.com. The poem expressed his love for the Jewish people and his sorrow over their fate in the Holocaust. The Muslim community in which he lived was outraged by this thought crime. He was called an infidel and received many threats for articulating his taboo feelings for the Jewish people. Alienated from the Muslim community, he continued to write his poetry, which contained the same themes which so upset his fellow Muslims.

The attack was in August, and yet here we are now in October--but the media for all intents and purposes has been silent.

Jamie Glazov asks some hypothetical questions:

[1] What if Alaa Alsaegh was a Muslim who was attacked by Christians in St. Louis who carved a cross on his back? Do you think this story would make it into the media?

[2] What if Alaa Alsaegh was a black man who was attacked by skinheads who carved KKK or a swastika onto his back? Do you think this story would make it into the media?

[3] What if Alaa Alsaegh was a Jew who expressed love of Muslims and was attacked for that by Jews who carved a crescent moon and star, a recognized symbol of Islam, onto his back? Do you think the story would make it into the media?

Let's face it: it is difficult to imagine the media would be silent in any of those 3 cases.
Glazov has his own explanation for the silence of the media.

The question is how much longer the media intends to censure itself like this.
