Unfortunately CarolC is quite against 'rigerous media reportage' because she thinks it will promote hatred against Muslims. As Wolfgamg has pointed out, all this means is that people will automatically think the worst because of their 'suspicions', fuelled by partial reports. Of course the other, or real, reason CarolC is against opening this tin of worms is that she knows full well that an investigation will indeed confirm that there are problems to which Islam is particularly prone. If she was consistent in her arguments she would support 'rigerous media reportage', because she would confidently expect that it would find that Islam is no more violent and sexist than any other religion. She knows that this is not what would be found, and the anguished voices of Muslim women (in the link Wolfgang has provided - who knows what they go through in Muslim countries with NO western reporters to at least take an interest)are a reproach to those who opt for this kind of politically correct blindness.
