Liberals: Stop making Islamic terrorism about race

[Smapti]

@DerekMichaels00

Obama got accused of being a Muslim not because of his skin color; it was because of his name! Had his name been Barry Henry O’Brien and he looked identical, the rumor never would’ve taken off.

“There’s nothing racist about it! It’s just because he didn’t have a white person’s name!”

you liberals can keep living in lala land, and it makes me sad, bc I still disagree vehemently with the GOP on abortion, LGB rights, environment, but if being kept safe is bad because Islam is so great, its a sad choice, but I’ll choose safety instead of Islam.

:dubious: So what is it about white-right-wing terrorism in the US that strikes you as “safe”? Is it simply that as a heterosexual conservative white male, you feel pretty secure that you’re not among the people they want to kill?

And you’re asking why people are “making” the terrorism issue “about race”. :rolleyes:

When I see stuff like this:

Typical CNN analyst these days, trying to make it about race, when its not.

All I can think is that its actually pretty simply why this ISN’T about race: governments around the world, in countries of ALL races, are not spending billions of dollars to fight groups who seek to attack things in the name and cause of white people. They’re not fighting groups who seek to blow things up after yelling “white people akbar!” (sorry for the “cultural appropriation!”) I, and others don’t care about the race or religion of attackers happen to be; we care about WHY they do things, and the scope and scale.

Most people know that radical Islamic terrorists have been and can be of any color; white, brown, black, even yellow (like in Xinjiang.)

Liberals; you’re embarassing yourself and your country trying to make Muslim terror jihad about race.

My understanding is that you can’t legally discriminate against muslims or any religion no matter what color they are, and no matter what attacks have occurred. You want that changed? Vote for the right people. And you might be nicer to liberals: You might just need them for that. Anyway for now we have a law.

Your problem is citing sean duffy the real world guy as a political pundit.

I know that, but I was referring to why the rumor got spread, not the validity of it or why perception (which to many is reality) was that he was Muslim: fact is most people with the name “Hussein” are Arabs and the ultramajority of Arabs are Muslim.

yea, a piece from leftist kook Kurt Eichenwald.

you liberals can keep living in lala land, and it makes me sad, bc I still disagree vehemently with the GOP on abortion, LGB rights, environment, but if being kept safe is bad because Islam is so great, its a sad choice, but I’ll choose safety instead of Islam.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

While Franklin was talking about money, taxes, self governance and the frontier, it seems quite applicable in a more simplified form here. You are saying you ordered the safety of bigotry, rather than the religious liberty the country was founded on.

The answer, as I pointed out, is stupidity.

He was the President of the United States. He’s not an obscure figure.

If you thought Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim the first time you heard his name, okay, fine. But if you thought he was a Muslim any time after 2007, you’re a moron.

And you conservatives can keep cowering under the bed, afraid of whatever it is the Republican Party has told you is threatening you this election.

You say you support abortion, LGB rights, and the environment. But all the GOP has to do is shout “Boo! Willie Horton wants to kill you!” (or communists or the Mafia or gay people or feminists or Hollywood elites or drug lords or Satanists or Mexicans or terrorists) and you vote for a Republican. They’re playing you.

Ignorant sod. Obama was accused of being Muslim because his father is from Kenya and Obama lived in Indonesia. The bigots cannot fathom that both countries have non-Muslims. Oh, and he’s not lily white. You idiot.

Wow. I think environmental degradation is a greater threat to public safety than sporadic political violence, let alone whatever sporadic portion of ideological violence is from radicalized Sunni Muslims. I guess I’d feel differently if I lived in Syria or Iraq.

Still, you should oppose Republicans just because they think your financial advisor should be allowed to rip you off.

DerekMichaels, you’re a stupid, bigoted, dishonest coward. Stop being so stupid, bigoted, dishonest, and cowardly.

[El_Kabong]

Can someone please remind me again why I should be more concerned about a yearly average of twenty or so US citizens killed in domestic terrorist attacks than thirty or forty thousand each killed by vehicle accidents and firearms?

With anybody else, I’d think this was a typo. But you didn’t forget shit. Lame.

He’s a genuine, unrepentant, overt, and hateful bigot. In addition to his dishonesty, cowardice, and stupidity, of course.

Yes they are, you ignorant moron. The groups are small, and most the violence petty, but multiple deadly attacks against people in the name of defending against a non-existent white genocide have let most western nations to designate significant amounts of money to measures attempting to prevent white teenage boys and girls from being radicalised and to investigate and run surveillance on the ones that are already dangerous fuckers.

So, in summary - FUCK OFF, DM00.

I agree with the ‘dumbfuck’ comment above.

Dumbfuck.

This. Repeatedly.

A common refrain is that American foreign policy is about bombing “brown people.” I don’t think it’s supposed to be taken literally as much as a comment on otherness, and many Middle Easterners could be described as brown, but a lot of them are pretty pale looking too, or a bit swarthy at most, like a white person with a tan. The ME and South Asia certainly have a lot of different ethnic groups.

As for the OP, when white people commit terrorism by bombing people they say stuff like “target neutralized” or “heading back to base.”
