Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Fitzgerald: Muslim hate crimes hoaxes: don’t be a dope

Oct 19, 2008 7:33 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

A Muslim student who said a masked gunman assaulted her after he wrote anti-Muslim slurs in a women’s restroom at Elmhurst College has been arrested for filing a false police report, officials said today. — from this news article

One hopes the girl will be given a large fine and a prison sentence. This kind of thing has to stop. The entire campus was shut down and searched. The expense, in money and in time and in disruption of learning, is an expense ultimately borne by the students. They should understand that. They are the victims of a one-woman Muslim plot. They are the ones who have suffered, and what’s more, been cynically mocked and manipulated. They should be not indignant at some imagined anti-Muslim “hate-criminals,” but at the Muslimah who committed the crime and caused the expensive and time-consuming brouhaha. They also might ask themselves how many of her fellow Muslims on campus knew or strongly suspected it was all a put-up job (as with the pepper-spray-in-the-mosque farce), but were happy to go along, and happy to express in exaggerated form, their feigned indignation and baseless “worry,” in order to create a rally-round-the-Muslim-victims atmosphere.

Rally around the victims, all right — the victims of Jihad, violent and otherwise, all over the world. Start with those who are definitely non-Western — blacks in the southern Sudan, two million of whom have been killed by Arab Muslims, and others enslaved, or Hindus persecuted and humiliated, and murdered, in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Yes, start there, and let that indignatio, aimed rightly, become just as Swiftily saeva as you please.
Are those students who marched off to that rally in solidarity with this Muslim “victim” aware of how many times this kind of thing has been pulled? Might they start to do a little investigating? And then, might they do a little investigating to find out what happens to Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan, Christians in the Moluccas (Indonesia), or southern Sudan, or parts of Nigeria? Might they find out what happens to Buddhists in southern Thailand at the hands of local Muslims? Might they find out why, in many cities in Western Europe, Jews are told not to go out wearing kippahs or other identifying marks, in order not to be attacked — not by Nazis, but by Muslims?

Perhaps a little research, done in the tranquility of the library, or the dorm room, is now in order, as a way, the very best way, of making up for allowing oneself to be fooled and manipulated — as so many, right up to our rulers in Washington, have allowed themselves to be when it comes to Islam.

A little study, a little reflection, and a lot of realism, might save everyone all kinds of whipped-up baseless indignation, when there is all kinds of real indignation that needs to be expressed — starting, let’s say, with the beating to death of Hindus by Muslims inspired by particularly fiery sermons, or the beating (but not yet to death) of Dutch homosexuals on the formerly-easygoing streets of Amsterdam, or the murders of Christians by decapitation, and the threats to murder so many others all over the lands where Muslims rule, from Indonesia (those beheaded schoolgirls, younger than the Muslim college girl who staged the stunt above, and who no doubt would defend to your death the right of Muslims to do what they want, to do what they do, all over the world) and Bangladesh and the Philippines, to Iraq. Look at what happens when the forces of Islam, no longer held in check by the iron fist of Saddam Hussein, are free to act against the Assyrians and Chaldeans, the last to remain in a country that long ago was entirely peopled by Christians (and Jews).

Look. Study. Don’t be dopes. There are far too many dopes already, so easily manipulated by smiling, plausible, propagandists — perhaps you have such a roommate — for Islam, which is not merely or mainly a religion, but a politics and a geopolitics. Find out, but not from that smiling roommate who wants you to share the Iftar dinner, who tells you how wonderful Islam is, who wants you to find out all about Islam — except of course all of the parts he doesn’t want you to find out about. And that means almost all of Islam outside of the Five Pillars.

So many dopes. Please. Don’t add to their number.
