To simply cast hate crimes against Muslims as simply a counter-reaction to Islamist violence and persecution (a very real phenomenon) is flirting very dangerously close to victim-blaming.https://twitter.com/ConfessionsExMu/status/979006700559548418 …
Foreign policy is a legitimate thing to blame for hate against the West. It does play a part. Read Radical by Maajid Nawaz or speak to jihadis, like I have. Citing underrepresentation in media as a reason for hate crimes against Muslims is stupid.
