Pahalgam Terror Attack: Why Western media loves to call terrorists 'gunmen'

IndiaTimes Friday, 25 April 2025
When 26 Hindu tourists were methodically executed in Kashmir’s Pahalgam valley — identified by name, religion, and in some cases, their inability to recite Islamic prayers — the global media did what it does best: looked away, chose its words carefully, and reached for the comforting vocabulary of denial. Not terrorism. Not jihad. Just “gunmen,” “militants,” and the ever-useful “tensions.” Because in the moral economy of modern newsrooms, the value of a life — and the weight of a headline — depends on who the victims are, and who the killers pray to.

Why Usha Vance Wore Mantilla at Pope Leo XIV’s Inauguration|Controversy Behind Traditional Headscarf

Usha Vance’s decision to wear a traditional mantilla at Pope Leo XIV’s inauguration has sparked controversy and raised eyebrows worldwide. Why did the Second Lady choose to honor the Catholic tradition with this symbolic gesture?

Watch as we unpack the tension between faith, politics, and symbolism at this historic event with the first American pope. #UshaVance #Mantilla #PopeLeoXIV #VaticanInauguration #JDVance #FaithAndPolitics #CatholicTradition #PoliticalControversy #Inauguration2025 #PapalInauguration #CulturalSymbolism #TensionsAtTheVatican #USPolitics #FirstAmericanPope #Vatican2025 #TraditionAndRespect ~PR.274~HT.408~
