Of course there should be no “backlash.” No innocent people should be victimized for the deeds of someone else, and any such act is reprehensible. There are two questions here: 1) Is Holder aware of, or even interested in, the fact that Islamic supremacist pressure groups with ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, like […]
Chicago Tribune features Hamas-linked CAIR rep Ahmed Rehab worrying about “backlash” against innocent Muslims
This always happens: every time there is a jihad terror attack or foiled plot, the mainstream media fills up with stories about Muslims worrying about a “backlash.” The “backlash” never materializes. In reality, the stream of stories about fears of “backlash” are designed to deflect attention away from the jihad attack and onto Muslims as […]
Muslim in Toulouse after jihad massacre: “We”re the victims in the story”
We see it again and again: every time there is a jihad attack or a foiled jihad plot, the mainstream media focuses attention on the poor victimized Muslims, publishing story after story about a backlash against innocent Muslims that never actually materializes, and thereby attempting to shift focus away from jihad mass murder and onto […]
Imam worries that arrest of NY jihad bomb plotter will spark “Islamophobia”
It’s inevitable: every time there is a jihad plot, the mainstream media trots out its template for stories like this one: shocked (shocked!) neighbors explain that the accused was a decent fellow, the local mosque says that they hardly knew the guy, others explain that he wasn’t really all that much of a Muslim (despite […]
Lubbock, Texas: Muslim plots to mass-murder non-Muslims, mainstream media writes of “backlash” fears against Muslim community
Here we go again: a Muslim attempts to mass-murder non-Muslims, and Muslims turn out to be the victims. In a sane world, Irie Price would be writing about how the Muslim community in Lubbock was working hard to prove its loyalty to American Constitutional values, instituting programs to teach against the understanding of Islam manifested […]
“Now the Islamic state has been created. We now exist here in Europe and in Sweden.”
Still, “police haven’t confirmed Saturday’s attack was motivated by Islamist views.” Of course. It must have been Tim McVeigh. “Swedes shocked by 1st terror attack in 3 decades,” from the Associated Press, December 12 (thanks to Steve): STOCKHOLM — No one died except for the suspected bomber, but two explosions in Sweden’s capital tore at […]
UK govt warns that British citizens in Muslim countries could be targeted in “backlash” attacks over “anti-Islamic” views in leaked documents
Now here is a genuine fear of a backlash. “Britain fears Islamic fury over WikiLeaks: Report,” from Economic Times, November 28: LONDON: The British government has warned that its citizens in Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and other parts of the Muslim world could be targeted in a violent backlash over “anti-Islamic” views expressed in diplomatic documents […]
Backlash questions
As the mainstream media’s “Muslims Fear Backlash” Industry swings into high gear, focusing attention on how Muslims in Portland, Oregon, are afraid of vigilante attacks after the attempted jihad attack at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony there last Friday, I have just two questions: 1. Is there any substantial evidence that there has ever been […]
Oregon residents fear more jihad attacks after Christmas tree lighting plot — no, wait…
The mainstream media line after any jihad attack or foiled plot is not about how Muslims are working to prove their loyalty to America and redoubling their efforts to root out the jihadists within their communities. It is not about how they’re instituting programs in mosques and Islamic schools to teach against the jihadist understanding […]
Spencer: Even in Oregon
In FrontPage this morning I discuss how the reaction of various parties to the Portland jihad bust follows a sadly familiar pattern: A nineteen-year old Somali Muslim named Mohamed Osman Mohamud was arrested Friday in Portland, Oregon, just as he was trying to blow up a van loaded with explosives at a Christmas tree lighting […]
