Looks like those over privileged “White devils” are at it again!
From the article:
The whiteness brandished by the anti-Muslim protesters - within a state where racism and xenophobia infamously thrive - was the most potent part of their protest.
Wow.
Of course, consider the source (al Jazeera). But if the “news” wanted to prove the point of some protesters, this was a good start.
While carrying weapons, organised, and seemingly ready to pounce on Muslim American counterprotesters, the anti-Muslim action aimed to cultivate and spread armed Islamophobic actions throughout the state. Friday’s protest was hardly a rogue action, but on account of its head organiser, John Ritzheimer, the first of many.
This is the same mosque where the two terrorists worshiped that did their own attempt at a counter protest in Texas at a “Draw a cartoon of Mohammad”, the two guys who were shot dead.
Sorry you worship with scumbags expect someone else to come along and call you out on it.
Oh and by the way, the death threats to Ritzheimer have lead to him putting his family in hiding and putting his house up for sale. Something about death threats and beheadings threatened.
Funny that when the shoes on the other foot, how that fits aint it?
Using the term “Islamophobic” is merely a way to control the topic. A phobia is a fear. This seems more like anger than fear. Using the term “Islamophobia” is inappropriate in this instance. After all, if anger, fear and hate were interchangeable, we wouldn’t need three different words…
Like homophobia, the ignorant folks in the journalism industry think phobia means hate. I don’t know when it started, but it drives me nuts. I bet if they read this they think I’m calling them rude since ignorant is losing its meaning as well. Remember the good Ole days when words meant something?
So that’s the first I’ve seen the notion of brandishing whiteness. Quite creative I’ll give them that.
Whenever I go to “Al Jizz” I feel like I’ve been on Stormfront. The blatant racism is astounding.
would like a article to say unlike colored privilege the muslims who come to kill everyone at these events which has been proven by Texas !
It’s like the attack in Texas never happened. These people showed up out of the blue to protest a community center.
This was vividly evidenced on the violent crackdown on the wave of Black Lives Matter protests that swept through the US, and on Friday, police protection of the anti-Islam protesters in Phoenix.
“Violent crackdown”??? Sure you might get arrested if you concrete yourself in a drum on the highway- with BLM lawyers watching every action of the cops. And how many charges against protesters have been dropped? This is pure lunacy.
I’m starting to feel better about myself- I guess I am powerful ;). It’s like the old joke of two Jewish farmers in Czarist Russia. One is reading the newspaper with an article with an Anti-semetic title. The reader is asked by his friend why is he reading such crap- and the reader responds that he wants to see how rich, powerful and scheming he is.
White men have freedom of speech more than others- yeah, right. Just try that out.
al jazeera is now streaming into US cable homes though and according to hillary the real news !!!
Al Jizz-n-ur-ear, the propaganda wing of the Islamofascist.
Let’s not forget it was Al “I invented the internet and want to save the planet” Gore who was in with them when they first sat up shop here.
Or “white” caucasian (literally from the Caucasus) muslims didn’t perpetrate the Boston bombings? Since that one is a tough one to explain since no one was from a non-caucasian race so they aren’t disenfranchised except for being in a protected class by religion; it isn’t “real” jihad.
“This was vividly evidenced on the violent crackdown on the wave of Black Lives Matter protests that swept through the US,”??? Really? Like the violent crackdown that kept Ferguson from being destroyed, oh, sorry it was destroyed. You must mean like the violent crackdown that saved all those cars and buildings in Baltimore…oh, wait nothing was spared in Baltimore either. You must be talking about NY City where the " violent crackdown" allowed protestors to disrupt traffic and the lives of everyone around, injure police officers, and trample cars as the “peaceful” protestors chanted for dead cops to satisfy their yearning for peace.
Guy needs to get his head out of his backside and spend some time convincing those peaceful and tolerant Muslims around the world to stop beheading Christians, tossing gays off of buildings, burning Jordanian pilots alive and generally killing anyone who has a different religious view. How about that?
In the meantime, as our administration continues to bring hundreds of thousands of Muslims from anti-American cultures in to America, to instantly receive benefits not offered to hardworking, tax-paying, law-abiding Americans, we have every right to display our pride in being American, whether it’s our whiteness or our blackness or whatever form that American comes in, our Constitution allows us to do so.
Unacceptable to you? Not a problem as there are plenty of one-way flights out of the country leaving daily. Please enjoy the freedom to leave and go someplace “more tolerant”
^ thumbs up to that.
I think if the author of that article tried really hard he could actually make his article more biased, absurd and ridiculous. It was a good first draft though…
Great post rocsteady. Spelled it out perfectly.
One myth I see perpetrated by “experts” time and time again is that muslims aren’t racist, racism is viewed in the ME as a western problem (this has actually been said by so-called experts on Islam during theater security briefings on deployment). I wish I was making that up.
Same briefing: “Islam is a peaceful religion.” Then went on to explain the myriad things which will insult a muslim and compel him to kill you.
Giving the Muslims a pass on joining our societal norms is going to work out about as well as exempting blacks from these norms has done in the past 50 years or so.
Spot on post, you nailed the X-ring.
“We have met the enemy and he is us.”
I bet some Indian workers in the ME would beg to differ…
