Sure it is. The reason you don't hear "A Christian shot a guy" is because Christians, for the most part, don't have recent history of violence IN THE NAME of their religion. Muslims do. Remember abortion shootings? Or Oklahoma City? Eric Rudolph? Christian fundamentalism came up all the time then. If a muslim gang member shoots up 2 kids in SE DC and steals a wallet, no, it doesn't matter. However, when somebody drives an SUV onto a busy sidewalk or shoots up a mall, I think theres a at least decent chance it is relevant. I'm not asking for them to say "Man, Muslim, Shoots Up Mall." However, I think its absurd how hard some outlets try to avoid the subject.
