The Left — from the media to the White House — thrives on identity politics, hypocrisy and double standards. Especially on questions of race, ethnicity, and “diversity.”
On August 5, a murder victim became the fourth Muslim to be killed in Albuquerque since November 2021. Even though the identity of the killer and his motives were unknown, many rushed to denounce the killings as “hate crimes,” conjuring up images of the left’s blame-all bogeyman: white supremacists.
In a post on Twitter that started, “I am angered and saddened by the horrific killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque,” Joe Biden affirmed, “my Administration stands strongly with the Muslim community. These hateful attacks have no place in America.”
Fifteen minutes later, Kamala Harris parroted the president: “I am deeply disturbed by the killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque. … [W]e stand with the Muslim community in New Mexico and around our country. Hate has no place in America.”
Then reality hit: on August 9, police arrested a man in connection to the four murdered Muslims — and he himself, Muhammad Syed, is from the same supposedly beleaguered “Muslim community” that Biden and Harris “stand strongly with.”
Now, let’s consider the noteworthy and instructive aspects of this debacle.
First, on average, about 42 people are reportedly killed every day in America, by just guns alone (meaning significantly more people are killed every day by all methods). The overwhelming majority of these — victims of black-on-black violence — receive zero mention in the media.
So why did the killings of four men, over the course of nine months, get so much media and political attention? Because they were Muslim and could be exploited by those who thrive on identity politics to further their favorite narrative: that white supremacists, racists, and other “deplorables” — in short, Jan. 6 types — are running amok in America. If it was known from the start that a Muslim murdered Muslims, this story would have received zero coverage — just as it is quickly now being buried down the memory hole.
Then there is the sheer hypocrisy: ideologically driven and religiously inspired hate crimes and murders do exist; but because the overwhelming majority of them do not fit the Left’s narrative, they are routinely ignored, suppressed and distorted.
Consider the Muslim persecution and murder of Christians. According to one report, 360 million Christians around the world are currently persecuted for their religious identity — and the overwhelming majority of that persecution, some 80%, occurs in Muslim nations. On average, every day, thirteen Christians are killed for their faith; twelve are illegally arrested or imprisoned; five are abducted; and twelve churches or other Christian buildings are attacked and often destroyed. Again, that’s every day.
Indeed, because the media rarely touches on this phenomenon, since July 2011, I began to compile a monthly report, collating and summarizing the many accounts of persecution that surface every month. Every one of these now 130 reports typically feature the bombing, burning or banning of churches; the rape and forced conversion of Christian women; murderous attacks on and long prison sentences for apostates and blasphemers; generic but institutionalized discrimination and exploitation; and, of course, the outright slaughter of Christians (usually dozens every month).
And yet, the same media figures and politicians that were quick to showcase four of the countless murders that occur in America because they seemed to support the idea that Americans are targeting and murdering Muslims, say nothing about these disturbing trends, even when the atrocities are of a “sensationalist” nature. Thus, a video of ISIS carving off the heads of 21 Christians because they refused to recant their faith received six times less media coverage than the inadvertent killing of a gorilla.
Other times, when the attacks are so spectacular that omitting them risks exposing the media’s bias—for example, a Muslim terror attack on a church that leaves dozens of “infidels” dead—media do everything possible to, not only take the “hate” out of the equation, but to suppress the religious identities of both the (Christian) victims and (Muslim) murderers.
Most recently, on Pentecost Sunday, June 5, 2022, Muslims stormed a church during mass and massacred more than 50 Christians in Nigeria. Even though jihadist-driven Muslims are purging Nigerian Christians in a genocide—with one Christian being killed every two hours—and even though ideologically-driven Muslims have attacked, torched, or destroyed some 20,000 churches and Christian schools, in describing the Pentecost Sunday church massacre, the words “Muslim,” “Islam,” or even “Islamist” never appear in the AP report. Rather, we are told that “It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack on the church.” (Such dissembling is an ancient “mainstream media” tactic, especially for the New York Times.)
Others, such as Ireland’s president, Michael Higgins, suggested that “climate change” was the true culprit behind the Pentecost Sunday attack—and scolded anyone who dared accuse Muslims. A decade earlier, Bill Clinton said that “inequality” and “poverty” are “what’s fueling all this stuff” (“this stuff” being the ongoing massacre of Christians at the hands of Muslims in Nigeria).
When Muslims bombed three churches in Sri Lanka during Easter Sunday, 2019, killing some 300 Christians, Democratic leaders, including Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton, could not even bring themselves to identify the slain victims as “Christians.” Instead, they condemned a “terror” attack on “Easter worshippers.” Compare and contrast this with Biden/Harris’s emphasis on Muslims being killed due to hate.
When an Australian man attacked two mosques and killed 51 Muslims in 2019 in New Zealand, the world stood up in condemnation; the handwringing has not stopped since. In response to that one lone and aberrant attack, the United Nations inaugurated a “combat Islamophobia” initiative. On the other hand, and as documented here, Muslims have massacred more than a thousand Christian worshippers inside their churches, over the course of several attacks across a variety of nations, since 2011. And yet, that is not enough for the UN to see a pattern and promulgate, say, a “combat Christianophobia” initiative.
In short, when Muslims kill Christians and others in hate crimes—which is a regular occurrence, especially in the Muslim world—the powers-that-be do everything to conceal the religious identities of the killers and their victims. Conversely, they do everything to make the reverse—that Americans and Westerners in general are persecuting and murdering Muslims—appear to be true, even though it’s not.
And the White House is fully in bed with this false narrative.
It seems to me that the Western politicians are the enemies of Christians and Christianity. Why are they so biased in their judgement? Why are they not saying the truth? Why are they defending Islam and thinking it’s a religion of peace when all evidence are to the contrary. I think something is wrong somewhere. Politicians are the one fueling terrorism across the globe.
In a somewhat similar vein, a Muslim Oberlin College professor of religion has come to the fore because of his support of the fatwa against Rushdie. Sad since Oberlin was founded in the mid-1800’s in Ohio with an emphasis on teaching Christian theology which made it one of the first pre-Civil War schools o admit blacks and women. Oberlin continues to fight paying a local bakery, Gibson’s, at least a $25 million settlement for the College’s discriminatory actions this business. When these institutions go off the rails, the wreck is something to behold.
Our “leaders” are so blind as to what is really going on in the world. As soon as they can America will be next with this hatred of Christians (unbelievers according to the koran) and freely murdering them – will “leaders” then stand up for this? Will they “report” it? Hide it? How foolish we are in this world?
This is an age-old battle between good verses evil. In our day and age where more and more people reject God, murder and mayhem increases because the ungodly are devoid of any conscience and compassion and therefore condone and even encourage evil.
During WW2 Churchill quoted, “Appeasement is like feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last!”
All the arrogant and hypocritical press and politicians with reprobate minds who suppress the truth for a lie and condone and support Islam’s brutality towards Christians, will not escape Churchill’s proverbial crocodile. Or more simply put, God’s wrath. They have no eyes to see or ears to hear.
The figure killed in the United states is 111, and about 321 get a bullet(s).
42 are murdered.
A questionnaire for TULANE university students yielded the following facts: 8% of students said it was OK to shoot someone who insulted you; 20% said it was OK to shoot someone who stole from you.
So Biden is completely out of whack when he assumes the U.S. “moral order” that needs to apologise to Muslims. He needs to address the gun issue like Japan and THEN speak to Americans.
However this unlikely to happen as he has already been bought to promote pro-choice- and that latter is public knowledge.
Whichever you look at it he has not got what it takes; Islam is rising BECAUSE its birthrate is much higher than Europe- no country is 2 or more, while Afghanistan is 4.0 Nor is Canada @ 1.6, Australia @ 1.65, New Zealand @ 1.8, and America @ 1.7.
On the one hand he is acting against raising the national (non-Muslim) birthrate, while on the other he is facilitating Islam (and immigration).
In short he is betraying his country, and its people.
Donald Trump (who is NOT a catholic, unlike Biden), supports pro-life, not pro-choice, and has done so by appointing TWO Catholic judges to the Supreme Court.
Biden’s failures continue to rise by the day.
