Seattle Mosque burns, already opportunists are peddling Islamophobia

[MicroBrew]

Look at this freelance contributor on Huffpo ,not only is he laying it on thick about Islamophobia but he is claiming MidEastern Americans are living in fear. Such over the top exaggeration. He makes it sound like we are Iraq,Syria, Pakistan or Egypt where minorities really do have a lot to fear .


" While Seattle does have a reputation as a progressive, open-minded city, it is not immune to the wave of Islamophobia seen throughout much of the nation and the rest of the world in recent years. "


" Don’t let hate win. Join in solidarity marches. Visit a local mosque and get to know local leaders in the Muslim American community. Report hate crimes if you see them. Be an ally even in small ways on a regular basis. We also need to signal to law enforcement that they must take these threats seriously. Even in a city with as liberal a reputation as Seattle, people of Middle Eastern descent fear for their lives simply because of their appearance and religion. "

Don't let hate win huh ? Right then, this writer should be writing about how hatefull Islam is and all the persecution it is responsible for. Why do all these Islam apologists assume people who are critical of Islam have never met Muslims or know enough about Islam.

The police arrested a homeless man; the man has claimed in the past to be schizophrenic, and has had run-ins with the Mosque. Atleast the Mosque isn't jumpin to conclusions this is Islamophobia , for which they deserve credit. But the HuffPo freelance contributor can't help himself .

Part of the reason that is the dismantling of the mental health facilities. The thing is there was a good reason for that since a lot of them were kind of shit and inhumane. But yeah, crazy people wandering the street is not the best outcome.

"Wave of Islamophobia"

The HuffingPaint Post reported all those fake hate crimes on the 9th and haven't stopped with the fake news since. Although since BuzzFeed is on death row there's an opportunity for them to corner market on internet fake news

To be fair, this article is from a freelance contributing writer , so it's alike a reader's comments section of a News Paper, sort of. But Huffpo features it because HuffPo is on the Islam apologist bandwagon. Defending Muslims against unfair treatment is right but throwing around the accusation of Islamophobia and ignoring the nature of Islam is dishonest and wrong.

The homeless schizo should be put in an institution. Can't have people like that on the streets.

Of course, before he gets put in that institution he should receive a medal for the mosque-burning.

You do realize it was "liberial's" that forced the rule changes that a person can only be held for treatment if they are proven to be a danger to themselves or others. So they have to do something like this before you can force them into treatment.

So someone can be bat shit crazy and you cannot hold them for treatment.

A few Muslims at the mosque were probably drinking beer and BBQing some pork and things got out of hand. To cover up the true story, they are blaming racism.

Well you can witness this development across Europe since their refugee crisis.
When a refugee camp burns down, it's all over their national media and their FBI-counterparts start to investigate hate crimes etc
Sometimes even media in the UK or even the US report about burning refugee camps in France or Germany.
Then as soon as they find out that it was a refugee who intentionally burned it down, nobody cares anymore and it wasn't a hate crime.
If they don't find the fire-raiser, it still is included in statistics about right-wing violence. Similar development in the US. Whenever something happens which might look like it targeted a minority it's a hate crime by default. Until they find out that the attacker isn't a white male, then, of course, there's a change in their narrative.

any info on the arson's ethnicity and religious affinities?

 

[goldennirvana]

Probably a Muslim.

How can someone be batshit insane but also not be a danger. Your two paragraphs contradict each other


Also Reagan single handily closed down hospitals across the country doing away with Carters community health legislation that was passed with overwhelming support.

 

[AgedFlatus]

Probably a Muslim.

I'm kinda surprised they didn't say "suspect was wearing a trump hat/shirt/underwear".
