News-media use of “Prophet Mohammed”

Language controls the shape of a discussion, and goes a long way to determination of its outcome. Simple examples: terrorist / freedom fighter; West Bank / Judea and Samaria.

I noticed that “news” media, both print and electronic, refer constantly to the “Prophet Mohammed.” Surely, the honorific assumes the truth of the claim of Moslems that Mohammed was a prophet. The claim is merely a claim. Neither a Christian nor a Jew subscribes to the claim. Why should “news” media, which are hyperactively opposed to Christianity and Judaism, support a tenet of Islam? After all, there is no support whatever, in “news” media, to a tenet of Christianity, such as by way of a reference to “Jesus, son of God” or to “our lord and savior Jesus Christ.” Why the constant iteration of the “Prophet Mohammed”? Ditto for the Jews. There are no references whatever, in “news” media, to “our father (or patriarch) Abraham,” or to any other tenet of Judaism. My conclusion is that “news” media refer favorably to Mohammed for the same reason that they refer favorably to international “law,” the United Nations, and the ICC; and to the Falkland Islands as “Islas Malvinas.” Anything and everything is done by “news” media, to undermine, then destroy, the West, the U.S., Israel, the English language and the Anglo-Saxon heritage.
