Judging from the news over the past few days, it appears that for a Muslim leader to sort-of grudgingly admit that the most well-documented historical fact even occurred is considered praiseworthy.
That is a pretty good example of how the media assumes a priori that Muslims must not be held to the same standards as normal human beings.
Right now, we have Israel being held to impossibly high standards far beyond what any Western nation at war has ever been held to while Arab and Muslim nations are held to absurdly low standards.
One day, when the West starts to judge everyone by the same standards, we can start to have real progress towards peace.
