Nomenclature

Over the past week the term "Prophet Mohammed" has come into existence. Weird. It used to just be Mohammed, with no title.

In related news, here is a fine editorial by Andrew Sullivan on the topic, and here is a post about the media as "a proper Victorian gentleman" which is well worth reading Also marginally related, Fareed Zakaria on the decline of Europe.

There's also a good essay in the Chuck Klosterman book Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs about newspapers. He goes through a couple of scenarios that are fairly commonplace, like using the bathroom and missing a call, and how that can have huge consequences on when a story runs, if it has a good quote and how that all gets perceived by the public.
