What, and who were the items made for?

I don't pay any attention to the media as they no longer report news but try to make it up to get higher ratings.

I'd be the last to disagree; television news in particular puts ratings first and adherence to journalism principles last. But I'm not sure this isn't news - if we can continually castigate the other side for pressing a war on a religious basis, aren't our own acts that cross that line subject to some scrutiny? This is a minor issue but I've no doubt the Arabic press will point to it as an example that it is indeed a religious war and they are thus right to continue their holy exertions.
In other words, if we object to them using their religion as a basis for war, we need to scrupulously exclude religion from our effort to oppose them, even down to minutiae like this.
