A wonderful satirical joke. Do tell if u like it. This is what happens in the world due to religious prejudice?

Actually the following is a wonerful message I received on mobile and I loved it an wanted to share with everyone.

A man in USA sees dog attacking a lady. He kicks the dog it dies.

NEWSPAPER REPORT:

"LOCAL HERO SAVES LADY FROM DOG".

Man says I am not American.

Report changes

"FOREIGHN HERO SAVES LADY FROM DOG".

MAN SAYS: ACTUALLY I AM PAKISTANI.

BREAKING NEWS:

"MUSLIM TERRORIST KILLED INNOCENT DOG."

It is really true and this is what happens on the news channels. Media shows just one angle of story. It shows the world what it wants and conceals the real fact at times. I am a Canadian. Once I saw on BBC in capital letters 50 year old muslim married 13 years old girl and so on. Now what I didnot understand was that what was the need to report that. What about all the cases of child abuse and sexual harrasment everywhere. This marriage of a 50year old man was atleast not illegal. It was not sex outside marriage, nor a case of child abuse but it was just MARRIAGE. The girl was also mature. There are so many women getting married to older men and vice versa. I am a Christian but this thing made me think that religious prejudices are definately behind all this and one doesnot completely have to rely on the media to judge somebody. Hope u like the above joke and if u have any comments do share.

    This is not much of a joke. First week- Human interest. Second week- Must correct to not look stupid. Third week- Ratings sweeps week and there were no sex scandals to report about.

    Ever watch Steven Colbert a political satirist on the comedy channel? His entire show is about pointing out the idiot-crazy of the media and politicians. Not that he has not gone toward the prejudicial side of things for a laugh.

    As for the 50/13 thing, from where I come from, it is abuse, even if she consented. It is just not as straight forward as it seems. It is abuse by a culture or society that allows the man to take an advantage like that. But again that is my spin because I don't know all the facts.

    PS- I consider neither being Pakistani nor a terrorist as an indication of a religion, so from the facts that were given, the statement that he was a Muslim is unsubstantiated which would be a prejudicial spin by the media. Life has always been like that. It seems almost un-American to say someone is guilty of something without knowing the facts, so most news media tend to be unpatriotic in that way, that is if it was an American news group your were talking about, which is an unknown assumption on my part. See how easy it is to spin things.

    D - different i'm extremely gentle sharing my ideals with others. even although, i've got self belief no neee to sell it. If it comes up of course in communique, then i will communicate it. IF we enter a spiritual communicate, i will certainly point out it. yet purely on the grounds which you point out God or faith does not inevitably mean i'm going to point my faith. it might totally count number on the context. as an occasion, if we narrowly ignored being in an twist of destiny and you stated "God could have been looking out for us!" there is not any clarification for me to contradict or debate you on the element. that could purely be impolite on my element and searching for an argument.

    The media always put their " spin "on things, sometimes in reverse to be politically correct.
