The article "IS: Empire State shooting probably not politically

I'm glad to see the American media is acting with more restraint,
having learned their lesson from the anti-Islamic hysteria after the
Oklahoma incident.

The article "IS: Britons become more bigoted against Muslims" said:

Hopefully the British media will take the American's cue.
