That's an interesting problem. We are very willing to state self-immolation of priests in Vietnam by fire with Buddhism but all others there had no religion reported. We seem to have the separation of the "church and the state" in our reporting in mind, when, unless someone is of a "clergy" or the story reflects some aspect of the person's belief directly, it's neglected. I live in the Bronx, a borough of New York City which has had Muslims come somewhat recently to more traditionally Catholic sections, side by side, in Mt. Carmel or near Morris Park neighborhoods for example, the latter, where TV personality Regis Philbin is formerly from. I am happy to report there has not been any noteworthy problems, the Muslim Center, in the former union hall of the Communications Workers of America, often part of television broadcasting, has not been attacked to my knowledge.
