The first skater in tonight’s edition of the Winter Olympics was a young woman from Turkey whose family had moved to Canada so she could skate. (There are 2 skating rinks in Turkey).
There were 2 curious things about her performance which was not bad but not as good as that of the 16 year old American girl who followed her.
One was the almost complete lack of comment by Dick Button & Co.about her skating.
The second was even more curious: her score was not mentioned.
She was not even mentioned after she skated.
Now that is strange and one has to ask why this happened.
I don’t know; I can only speculate.
Was it the fact that she was from from an Islamic country albeit a secular one? Have we reached the stage where the sensibilities of Islam now determines what we can say, for example, the cartoon incident?
NBC needs to come forward and say why this happened.
If Islam has become a psychotic force in the world then it has to be faced now and dealt with now.
No if’s, and’s or but’s.
