More surprising than the actions of these hoaxers is the attitude of the media, intelligence organizations and the judiciary towards "Terrorism Theater". The activities are rarely made public. The media overlooks these stories. Even if the hoaxers are arrested as in the case of Goldberg, they are rarely prosecuted. Goldberg taught bomb making techniques, incited terror attacks on July 4th and may have been responsible for the Texas incident in which two Muslim teenagers were radicalized and then killed. Yet, the motives of the hoaxers are rarely investigated and questioned by the media and politicians. Apart from inadequate media coverage, the names of "Terrorism Theater actors" are rarely released to the public.

The actions of hoaxers and "Terrorism Theater actors" are not only promoting hatred towards Muslims, but they are also responsible in the radicalization of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Yet media pundits do not look "behind the curtain" to reveal who radicalized these impersonators and "Terrorism Theater actors" and for what purpose?
