I've also denigrated for years the tendency, mostly but not exclusively on the Right, to maliciously exaggerate the threat posed by Muslims in the US, and to use that exaggerated threat as a basis for curtailing civil liberties or inflicting other harms. But you know, whatever

I also reported personally on the harms inflicted by Trump's "travel ban," which irrationally penalized innocent Iraqi Muslims and others, who should be receiving reparations from the US Government rather than singled out for penalties. Impugn motives all you want, though

Appreciated your stance (Omar) on it’s own, without using her as a shield. You say you don’t mean to make equivalencies but that’s what it reads as; your point was to bait the left.

If while highlighting Islamists you say the left is overreacting to white nationalism —well, the left is supposed to be oppositional to American as Apple Pie violent hegemonies. Kind of farcical- lol. I’ve been watching a 4hr series on Reconstruction.https://www.pbs.org/weta/reconstruction/ …

That’s silly, but in fairness your comment was indicative of an extremely selective memory of how the msm reacts to any attack done by a Muslim in the United States. You can make a stronger point of how msm boosts white nationalism fears out of bad faith to tar Trump

I blame some of it on people's lack of reading comprehension.

Hatred? Not necessarily. But choosing to define terrorist attacks in exclusively and non-specific religious terms gives credence to the claims of actual Islamophobes that Islam *in general* lends itself to extreme terror. This orientalism is then used to demonize Muslim migrants.

I'm wondering where you are getting the metrics upon which you have arrived at this conclusion. Anecdotally it doesn't match my observations.

hate comes in all forms. If we don't call it out for what it is we give cover to those who murder others because of hate. I have no time for people who act this way, it's dishonest and very harmful to society and one of the reasons Trump got elected IMO

The leftists are just really triggered whenever someone says the word "islamic"/"Islamists" "terror", they don't want the truth to be stated. So far, 321 people are dead. The threat of Islamic terrorism is very real, but the left doesn't want to acknowledge or admit it.

Isn't the answer to your earlier comment obvious? It seems to me it can be summed up in four words "Not in our name"

Are you ok with Ilhan's cozy relationship with CAIR, an organization that helped fundraise for Hamas (see the Holy Land Foundation case). By downplaying Islamic extremism we are not helping ourselves or Muslims who are also concerned about radical Islam, and therefore Ilhan.pic.twitter.com/gWmBjNGrUS
