Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Monday, September 19. 2016Backlash dangerMinnesota terrorist ID’d, but the big story is the potential for backlash. All you can do is laugh at how the media and sometimes the pols spin every Muslim violence story. But really, it is not funny.

Well, the jihadis are just oppressed people who want El Andalus back since the hateful Europeans took it from them after they conquered fair and square. But the American deplorables are likely to get all het up and, um, not bake a cake or something!
When has there ever been ANY backlash over these shenanigans. I remember after 9/11/01, that was a big concern, but outside of some ignorant types killing a Sikh there was nothing of any note. If I'm forgetting something significant, please let me know.
There were hundreds of reported hate crimes against Muslims after 9-11.
Ahhh! But how many of those reports were actually 'hate crimes'. CAIR has a track record of filing and encouraging the filing of false claims of discrimination and hate crimes. How much of the claimed 'hate crimes' were simply false or exaggerated? As the left defines 'hate crimes' everyone in BLM has committed multiple hate crimes everyday and yet that goes unrecognized. So what about the danger of backlash from the hate organization BLM??? Care to address that? What about the hate crimes committed by Muslims??? Literally tens of thousands of them. Let's get some equality in hate crimes and I think everyone will be surprised who actually commits hate crimes. Most hate crimes are committed by the left.
GoneWithTheWind: But how many of those reports were actually 'hate crimes'.
It's actually considered an underreporting, as most hate-crimes are not reported at the federal level. GoneWithTheWind: As the left defines 'hate crimes' everyone in BLM has committed multiple hate crimes everyday and yet that goes unrecognized. Do you know what a hate-crime is? You do understand that hating is not a crime? Muslims wallow in victimhood supported by CAIR who start the 'oppression' ball rolling.
There were hundreds of reported hate crimes against Muslims after 9-11.
Which were still dwarfed by the ~3,000 DEAD victims of 9/11. Or would the Z-Team beg to differ? QUOTE: FBI reported Religion-related Hate Crimes Table 1[page 13]Incidents,Offenses, Victims, and Known Offenders by Bias Motivation, 2001 2001 Incidents anti-Jewish 1,043 anti-Muslim 481 2014 Incidents anti-Jewish 609 anti-Muslim 154 https://ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime/2014/tables/table-1 https://ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime/2014/tables Gringo: Which were still dwarfed by the ~3,000 DEAD victims of 9/11.
That is correct, albeit the victims of 9-11 were killed for political reasons beyond ethnic or religious hatred. Also, as your figures show, reported anti-Muslim hate crimes are still less than reported anti-Jewish hate crimes. Nonetheless, there are real instances of hate-crimes against Muslims, contrary to the implication by gman, and there was a significant increase in such attacks after 9-11. Your examples are not counted in FBI statistics as hate crimes against Muslims. Pointing out that there are false cases doesn't mean there are not true cases of anti-Muslim hate crimes.
They support g-man's statement rather well.
QUOTE: Muslims wallow in victimhood supported by CAIR who start the 'oppression' ball rolling. Moreover the many documented fake hate crimes do not support the "backlash" outcry at all. Especially since we have heard the "backlash" outcry so many times over the years. Gringo: Moreover the many documented fake hate crimes do not support the "backlash" outcry at all.
Are you really arguing that the hundreds of reported hate crimes against Muslims were all faked? Do you have actual data, or do you think it is true because it feels true to you? Furthermore, not all backlash constitutes a hate crime. Hate crimes are just an indicator of the problem.

"Hate crimes are just an indicator of the problem."
Au Contraire. The people killed by Muslim terrorists, the people maimed, raped and knifed by Muslim terrorists ARE the indicator of THE problem. Make no mistake. They fully intend to one day use something a lot more deadly than a knife, gun, bomb, airplane or 18 wheeler to do their killing. Being nice, welcoming, and open to the Muslim immigrants is going to multiply the threat and make that fateful day inevitable.

Terrorism is a very real problem. Attacks against innocent Muslims is also a very real problem. GoneWithTheWind: They fully intend to one day use something a lot more deadly than a knife, gun, bomb, airplane or 18 wheeler to do their killing. Of course. But who are "they"? "They" are not the vast majority of Muslims, who just want to care for their families and neighbors. Irrational hatred is not an effective strategy for combating the threat of terrorism.

re Minnesota terrorist ID’d, but the big story is the potential for backlash.
Yes indeed. We must sit and take it because taking preventative action and or trying to defend ourselves is soooo racist and oppressive on our part. When the ruling class no longer sees the need to protect the peasants, then the peasants no longer have an obligation to support the ruling class. We will conquer our enemies by being good to them.
It defeated Hitler It defeated Napoleon It defeated the Barbary Pirates It will work on this set of Muslims too. It's an old joke but evergreen. Tomorrow's headline:
"Local Muslims concerned about backlash from next week's bombing." |
