According to Muslims like Gandalf, most anti-Muslim violence is committed by Muslims.
After Christchurch, that's now changed, FD.
No it hasn't. The Muslims have a pretty big head start.
Either way, muslims invariably end up as victims.
Evidently, mostly of
other Muslims, if the facts are to be credited.
But what do Muslims like you and you
bien pensant 'progressive hangers-on harp on? 'Islamophobic' (a joke word for a joke idea) 'white supremacists', colonialists, Western hegemonists, wacists, wationalists - all the dead-beat SAIDian boilerplates.
You are not victims of anything but your own recalcitrant, pigheaded ideology. You have exported your perennial Islamic civil war to all the countries you have been allowed to migrate - that's the only new thing about Muslim violence.
Being victims of muslims doesn't make victims somehow become lesser victims.
As for white supremacists and wacists, these are the sort of people who lump all muslims - extremists, non-extremists, and even the extremist's victims, into the one basket - by blanket smearing them as all supporters of genocide, or all of them crazed, mentally disabled inbreds. Its this 'othering' cognitive process that causes an individual to think that a mosque full of muslims, none of whom he has ever met, must necessarily be guilty and are deserving of being shot to death as they pray peacefully. Its this othering that prompts someone just one day after such an attack to boldly declare that however terrible the shooting was, in any case muslims were to blame. And such an outrageous statement (and thankfully universally acknowledged as outrageous), is really not much of a step up from saying that the threat of Islamic terrorism in a given country is nothing more than a simple function of the number of muslims in that country - a sentiment that was rigorously defended here.
In case you are still unconvinced by what I am saying, let me spell it out more bluntly. According to whats been said here over the years, every one of the 50 victims at Christchurch were:
- supporters of genocide
- mentally disabled due to inbreeding
- had psychopathic tendencies
- lazy
and no doubt a whole heap of other stereotypes.
This is what Islamophobia does - it dehumanises actual victims and in the process gives dangerous succor to the Tarrants of this world. The scary truth here is that Tarrant could not have done what he did without dehumanizing muslims and expunging any ability he might have had for empathising with individuals who identified with the Islamic faith. How else do you arrive at the idea that its ok to shoot 100 or more completely random worshippers with the intent to kill them? The only way is to convince yourself that they are guilty - all of them. Most Islamophobes draw the line at killing, but it is very clear that the level of dehumanizing and 'othering' of muslims is the same. How else does someone so blithely and without a hint of shame declare that Christchurch was the fault of muslims? And the scary part is seeing how many people actually agree with him - despite the crocodile tears.
