Melissa Eddy on Bonn: the New York Times monitors the menace of Muslims

"Today Bonn, once tranquil, is a volatile cocktail of social tensions between its Muslim newcomers, who include some German converts as well as immigrants from Arab-speaking countries, with some hard-core elements, and a far-right nationalist group that is mounting a growing campaign against them."  1) Notice that the article begins by talking about two groups and yet the entire article is devoted to the dangers of Muslims.  Not a word is said about the racist "far-right" group.  2) Notice the term "hard-core elements".  If a journalist ever wrote about "hard-core elements" in the Jewish community, he/she would face accusation of anti-Semitism and possibly dismissal.
