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

Robert Spencer: Exploiting mass murder: Islamic supremacists using the Sikhs

Aug 14, 2012 7:04 am By Robert Spencer

In Atlas Shrugs I discuss how Islamic supremacists have been exploiting the recent murderous attack on a Sikh temple:

A neo-Nazi last week stormed a Sikh temple and murdered six people in
Wisconsin. Ever since then, Muslim organizations in the U.S. such as
the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), abetted
by the mainstream media, have been cravenly exploiting this horror for
their own purposes, blaming “anti-Muslim sentiment.”

The New York Times was the worst, publishing an unctuous piece by Samuel G. Freedman entitled “If the Sikh Temple Had Been A Mosque”
and ultimately blaming “well-endowed groups like Jihad Watch, ACT for
America and Stop Islamization of America” for the carnage.

 This is as unconscionable as it is crass, for numerous reasons, none
of which have to do with the fact that Jihad Watch and SIOA are
anything but “well-endowed.” Foremost among them is the fact that Sikhs
aren’t Muslims; are often harassed and persecuted by Muslims (while
these same U.S. Muslim organizations remain silent). There is no
evidence whatsoever that the Nazi murderer intended to kill Muslims and
was killing Sikhs by mistake, and no one with even rudimentary knowledge
of these issues would ever actually mistake a Sikh for a Muslim. In
reality, white supremacist neo-Nazis generally consider Islamic supremacists to be their allies;
and those working against jihad and Islamic supremacism, whom
Hamas-linked CAIR and its allies are blaming for these murders, never
call for or justify any violence.

The Muslim exploitation of the Sikh murders is part of the
“Islamophobia” industry: the ongoing attempt to convince Americans that
“Islamophobia” is rampant, and Muslims are being victimized daily, and
need special protection from law enforcement
(which will thereby be conveniently diverted from investigating jihad
terror plotting). All genuine bigotry is absolutely unacceptable, of
course, but in fact, Muslims are rarely its victims. FBI statistics show that there is no “Islamophobia.” Contrary to media emphases and preoccupations, many “anti-Muslim hate crimes” have been faked by Muslims, and Jews are eight times more likely than Muslims to be the victims of hate attacks.

Hamas-linked CAIR trumpets “hate crimes” against Muslims, real and
imagined, and even uses hate crimes against other groups in order to
deflect attention away from jihad activity and try to portray Muslims as
victims, so as to shame non-Muslims into not investigating or even
being suspicious of further jihad activity. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims have not even hesitated to fabricate “hate crimes.” CAIR and other groups like it want and need
hate crimes against Muslims, because they can use them for political
points and as weapons to intimidate people into remaining silent about
the jihad threat.

The appalling Harris Zafar, the Ahmadi Muslim spokesman who sides with those who persecute his people in Pakistan and Indonesia and instead attacks those who defend his people,
tweeted after the attack that “crimes against Sikhs Since 9/11 driven
by hatred for Muslims.” His claim was not original: most mainstream
media reports on the murders claimed that that the Sikhs were murdered
because they were actually mistaken for Muslims — despite the fact that
there is no substantiation for this claim.

There is more.
