Why do extremists always get the limelight?

Why can't they put me, my family, my friends or even a person from our Islamic community on the media?

These "Muslims" on tv are barely that! They definately do NOT represent the average Muslim. I've NEVER EVER encountered an "Islamic radical" in all my years of being Muslim and attended Islamic events (which r usually open to non-Muslims too!) So why then does the media continue to let evil triumph over good? Why do they spread lies and propganda to ppl that can barely think for themselves about something they know little about?

Isn't it unfair that as an "informer" they are instead instigators?

Because like it or not, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

The people who are in charge of aiming the limelight are in it for money. Extremists sell newspapers and make the evening news.

You and your family are probably nice, good, hard-working, loving people who have no interest in hurting others. That equals BORING to the press.

They want to keep readers. Readers want to be titillated and shocked and able to feel righteous and indignant about stuff. Your story of good triumphing over evil doesn't do that. Love is too blase for the media.

They aren't informers: they are entertainers, and if they have to instigate stuff to entertain, they'll do it.
