The non-existent anti-Muslim backlash

Backlash.jpg

In the latest Jihad Watch videoblog at Hot Air, I discuss the mainstream media's preoccupation with fears of backlash attacks against Muslims in the wake of the Fort Dix jihad arrests, despite the fact that there haven't been any such attacks.

This is such a joke with the media in cohots with the islamists. true liberals looking for vitims in all the wrong places. l for one am sick of this call of worry to muslims and would for once would be surprised if the media would actually have some empathy for the real intended victims. but the media and islamists will be rudely surprised when the real backlash shows itself.

The Muslim backlash is minimal for now, but if the Muslims keep pushing their agenda, the Backlash could become a very real problem for them..

When I was a girl, my strict father considered a serious offense my rolling my eyes at one of his edicts that I thought unreasonable.
To do this would bring forth some severe punishment from him.
I think the poor Muslims have suffered numerous attacks of rolling eyes, disgusted looks, turning away and countless other such breaches of recognition of their supremacism. LOL

They want backlash because Quran then gives them legal means to "defend" their tribe. They will desperately try to provoke Americans and their security forces, like they did in Bosnia, Kosovo, Israel and everywhere. This is their tactic. When you strike back, there will be no more excuse for any muslim to abstain from jihad.

Muslims are only too well aware that there will be more incidents like the Fort Dix incident because they know only too well that there are ‘extremists’ among them, whether they secretly support this or not is neither here nor there, it’s only a matter of time before something tips the boat and Backlash becomes real. I would imagine that in the USA Backlash could turn out to be terminal for Muslims.
Perhaps over time it will come to the point that the John Doe’s of America will have no option but to respond in anger, having had to continually listen to the litany of moans, complaints and worries issued from a section of society which breeds, produces and fosters those who would perpetrate acts of murder in the name of the so called Religion of Peace upon American soil. I would suggest that the MSM is doing the Muslim community no favours by promoting this victimhood nonsense and are managing to stoke the fires of resentment each and every time they publish articles of no substance on the matter.
One should perhaps consider the danger such a Backlash could have on an easily identified community, justified or not.
It is also worth reminding the followers of Islam that should AQ get its opportunity to commit acts of terror on a huge scale by use of WMD, life will not be living in the USA, if the initial attack doesn’t get them it’s not beyond belief that the Backlash will. A bit like living in a hornet’s nest that’s just been poked with a stick, not a place you’d want to be anywhere near. Those who have been shouting the loudest will no doubt be first up for the negative attention.
That old saying “The bigger they are, the harder they fall” is actually incorrect, it should really be “The bigger they are, the harder they hit!”
So let’s all join in with the first verse of John Denver’s ‘Leaving on a jet plane’
All my bags are packed and I’m ready to go……

The truth is that it will take another big terror incident, plus these little terror incidents or threats altogether for at last a large explosion of angry backlash to happen in America. Take a look at France, after seeing the "youths" riot so many times was enough to create the angry backlash of the election of Sakozy, to name an example.

Inspite of the political left, America has been and probably always will be the most tolerant nation on earth. But as I was reflecting on how my day ended yesterday, I was reminded that, as humans, we often look past the little events that piss us off... but one by one, they add up and stack up and twist our sensibilities until we reach our flash point and explode over the littlest of things. Alone, the trigger point, or "flash point" is not worth expending any visible energy over... only over time have we allowed ourselves to grow in anger.

The American people (GOD bless them all) are about to "flash". The accumulation of all of these lesser events will unleash a BACKLASH that the muslim population have yet to see... or even imagine.

So, for now... let the muslims play their little victim games... it is only adding fuel to the flames.

It's very unfair for our government to be pushing these people on us and forcing us to accept them into our society. Every American I know does not like Muslims and/or third world immigrants and the government is allowing them to push their agenda on us, i.e., their religion or language. I think we need to be more vocal in our protests against this, as we have rights too, and those rights and wishes for our country are being ignored.

I agree with what jihadtobejoking writes above. The true believers have no choice but to continue in present trends until they are stopped. When the big events occur in the United States those believers will seal the fate of political Islam in the United States and abroad. The believers can't stop themselves, being 'commanded by Allah to fight' and all that ...

Someday we'll see sporadic attacks and violence in the streets at the minimum (sudden jihad syndrome) or a major event like a radiological device in NYC. That will be the end of the Muslim free pass in the United States as well as several regimes across dar al-Islam. If it's a nuclear detonation it will be the end of Islam as a force to be dealt with for the next 500 years or maybe forever... depends on who we have in office at the time.

It will come to this in my estimation. The True Believers have no choice but to strike as long as they have the men and material to do so. And they will succeed in destroying Islam to the degree that they are successful.

A_Plague_on_Both_Houses, I agree with you and I know well armed ex-military folks who will do the same to protect our country when there is another attack here.

Thanks Bonniea - the part that you've responded to has been removed for obvious reasons, but yes, I appreciate what you say. I don't say it casually, since it's in direct conflict with other things I say on Sunday morning... but I do mean it if things should come to pass. I pray they don't, but I know I'm far from God.

It's what they wanted...a backlash.
The backlash would serve as a universal catch-all justification for the entire islamist movement to commit their operations as they've planned all along.
(Old adage-deny the enemy the ammo, and they can't fire on you)
We denied the enemy the ammo they were so desperately looking for, tried to provoke, and failed to do...
They're going to have to find another way to provoke a "backlash"...and their time (schedule) is fast running out.
Expect more desperation acts on their part.

I hereby designate JihadWatch.org as the official, constant, BACKLASH against Islamists. To civilized people, a backlash need not (and can not) be violent to be effective.

Seems the Lame Stream Media might be better served by avoiding the "Backlash" against their 40 years of lies and obfuscation. They, after all have aided and abetted our enemies at least that long. Can they believe they'll be forgiven when the sh*t hits the fan?
