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

Mehdi Hasan blames Muslim attack on non-Muslims on “anti-Muslim hate speech”

Feb 18, 2015 11:43 am By Robert Spencer

MehdiHasanSouthfieldThe story to which Mehdi Hasan is referring is this one: Michigan: Muslim asks people if they’re Muslim, stabs those who say no.

So now when Muslims attack non-Muslims solely because they are non-Muslims, it’s the fault of “anti-Muslim hate speech.” Apparently this Muslim was driven into a homicidal rage by all the anti-Muslim hate speech he was seeing in the mainstream media (where? when?), and went out and attacked non-Muslims for it.

The implication here is that if there weren’t any “anti-Muslim hate speech,” Muslims wouldn’t attack non-Muslims for being non-Muslim. So what Mehdi Hasan, Political Director of the Huffington Post UK and Presenter at Al Jazeera English, is saying here is that our response to a Muslim attacking non-Muslims solely because they are non-Muslims should be to restrict criticism of Islam.

I have exposed him as a fascist foe of the freedom of speech before, and here is more proof of that.

    Mehdi Hasan is barking mad. I wouldn’t be surprised if he claimed the sun set in a muddy puddle.

      Would you take anyone seriously who is a so-called journo for the likes of the guardian and huff post mehdi hasan is like the rest of the 1.5 billion muslims infesting this planet suffering from the master race delusions that all muslims suffer from

    Wow, do I loathe Mehdi Hasan. Typical person who can dish it out but can’t take it. Calls non-Muslims “cattle” etc. He, like Anjem Chowderhead, doesn’t seem to realize he’s practically being lampooned when he’s given airtime. He draws ratings, and thus employment, because of his fascinatingly boorish and accusatory behavior. Like William Hung, he’s managed to become a spectacle. What a life accomplishment. He and Reza Aslan are quite the duo, always casting stones.

      And all his followers for this matter. They flock into oxford hall (I don’t know the exact name of the place, I know it is in an oxford uni) like they are civilized, but are actually a bunch of fascist warmongers.

    Old Mehdi is the greatest-ever advertisement against inter-breeding; it’s rare to find a more twisted worldview, even in the left-wing press.

    It’s the same deal islam has been offering. They are at war with us and will attack at any given opportunity and if we say or do anything about it they will attack us at any given opportunity.

    • somehistory says

      Feb 18, 2015 at 2:18 pm

      They attack without reason, and when the attack is mentioned, they attack again and use the telling of the first attack as the reason..
      And it’s also incomprehensible. If they attack to *instill fear* with *terror*…by killing the unbeliever…the victim is dead. If it doesn’t make the news, then what fear is instilled? But when it makes the news, the jihadists get angry that the news was told of their efforts to instill fear and cause terror. Therefore, they must act again and the anger must be expressed even more violently than before.
      It’s all that demonic hate that stems from worship of satan, doing his bidding. And they enjoy all of it so very much

  8. Ajs says

    So by his logic, attacking Muslims would be justified even more. Here’s why.. If verbal attacks can justify attacking non Muslims then physical attacks against non Muslims which is worse, would justify physical attacks even more.

    Douglas Murray always gives him a run for his money.
    Douglas is so important here in Britain. He is the main counter jihadist we see on the dhimmi Media here, one of a very small few..
    Stay safe Douglas.

    This bleating article just shows just how much Douglas has got under Hasan’s skin.

      Should have been the other way round.
      Hasan responded to Douglas’s post.

        Feb 18, 2015 at 2:57 pm

        Another point of view a couple of weeks earlier. Hasan needs to be exterminated and ridiculed, journalistically speaking.

        Where have all the heroic investigative journalists in the main stream media gone?

    Hitler used the same tactics before he attacked Poland. We also lost many good people because no one had the balls to stop him as he started his campaign.

    I thought the cry after WWII was “NEVER AGAIN”. I guess the politicians are thinking that just “one more time” won’t hurt.

    This may turn out to be a war like the world has never seen before. I pray that all of us will have the strength to endure. DO NOT BE ASHAMED TO BE a NON-MUSLIM

    • Georg says

      Well, it’s hard to imagine it happening “NEVER AGAIN” when a publically-funded news source located in previously allied territory asks this: http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/01/two-days-before-holocaust-memorial-day-bbc-asks-is-the-time-coming-to-lay-the-holocaust-to-rest

    Hate speech; what hate speech? Any speech containing the least bit of criticism of Islam or Muslims is not allowed.

    That’s the same sort of thinking that leads to rape victims being punished for being raped, I wonder if it’s somehow connected?

  14. mortimer says

    Feb 18, 2015 at 11:37 pm

    The argument of Mehdi Hasan is this: Criticism of Islam makes Muslims mad. Muslims get so mad, they are homicidal. Homicidal Muslims are not responsible for controlling their tempers.

    Counterargument: Many groups are criticized. They do not get so mad that they commit vigilante murder. Therefore the argument is invalid.

    Analysis: Muslims believe that they have a ‘special entitlement’ to get mad and homicidal.

    Question: Where in the Islamic writings does this ‘special pleading’ for ‘special homicidal entitlement’ come from? Koran? Hadiths? Sira?

  15. Doglicka says

    Feb 19, 2015 at 1:53 am

    What these Muslims do, is the same cyclical violence we see in Israel. Palestinians fire rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas or stab random Israelis; Israeli’s respond in kind with air strikes and the like; Palestinians then have a whinge and say woe is me, you just attacked us (The evil verses from the Koran can then get put into use), we will have revenge, and the cycle is perpetuated.

    Hasan is following the same pattern and it is indicative of every country that has Muslims living there in any significant amount. A Muslim will commit an atrocity, then we hate them for it; then they blame subsequent atrocities on our hate which makes us hate them more, and wamo! We’re locked in their cycle – like it is now – in every western country because we have imported so many of them.

    How many more atrocities will occur before the left and the MSM go, ‘urrr durrr, maybe we should um, like, stop Islamic immigration a little bit, so erm, we don’t all get our heads chopped off’.

      Once it is their necks on the line and not before. The rest of us are just collateral damage.

    Much more plausible Mehdi, would be the muslim attacker was inspired by those ISIS videos calling for muslims to rise up and attack infidels in the streets.

    Or was it parking rage?
