I imagine that if a few hostages are beheaded, drowned, burned alive or mown down on camera by those responsible the media will indulge them with a great deal more coverage. Moreso if this heralds the start of a campaign of such violence by for example a white, ultra right wing religious cult.

Lets be honest, in places like Mexico, the most horrific violence has been going on for years and we hear virtually nothing about it. I think that has more to do with where it's happening and the risk it poses to us/ours than it does with skin colour or some media fixation with all things Islam.
