Cambodian PM Slams CNN and BBC for Linking Islam to Terrorism Committed by one or two People....

He's obviously never watched or read CNN and the BBC......

PHNOM PENH, April 3 (AP) - (Kyodo)—Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen charged Thursday that some major media establishments such as CNN of the United States and BBC of Britain made "the biggest mistakes" in reports that link terrorism to Islam.

In an opening speech at a two-day international conference on "interfaith cooperation for peace and harmony," Hun Sen said it was not accurate to say or accuse Muslims, more than 1 billion people, and linking them to terrorism that was committed by one or two terrorists.

"By just using a word, it may turn 1 billion people into their enemies," Hun Sen said, adding, "If terrorism occurs in one place, a certain famous politician or media links it to Muslims as a whole."

He said he had noted some major television networks such as CNN, BBC and TV5 of France have "made the biggest mistakes on the issue."

The premier added, "Terrorism is terrorism. It has nothing related to religion."
