Day in day out the news is dominated with reference to Terrorism .
We can’t avoid it ‚Broadcast Networks lead with news of Terrorism regardless of where terrorism occur across the Globe.
The only respite is to switch to sports or turn off the damn Television.
Cable News run with terror news 24 – 7 . In many cases their broadcast run the very same terror story cover to cover for days.
Newspapers and even social media platforms are inundated with the grim realities of terrorism and it’s evil consequences on mankind.
With that said , it has become clearer by the day that Terrorism (as far as Americans understand ) is confined to Muslims committing acts of violence .……Period.
There is hardly any recognition at least from the television talking heads that Muslim terrorists kill more Muslims than they do anyone else.
Which negates the well propagated lie that Muslim translate into Terrorist.
Now albeit that I hold no brief for Muslims or carry water for them , they are quite capable of articulating the truth for themselves .
As a Christian however, I have a duty to speak truth to the lying purveyors of hatred and racial and religious bigotry and intolerance under the guise of Christianity.
Terrorism
The use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal.(Merriam)
On the evening of June 17, 2015. During a prayer service, nine people (including the senior pastor, state senatorClementa C. Pinckney) were killed by gunman Dylan Roof, a 21-year-old white supremacist. Three other victims survived. The morning after the attack, police arrested Roof in Shelby, North Carolina. Roof confessed to committing the shooting in hopes of igniting a race war. The shooting targeted one of the United States’ oldest black churches, which has long been a site for community organization around civil rights.(wikipedia)
Police arrested Dylan Roof without incident, he was not riddled with bullets as the Boston Bomber or many other non-whites who run afoul of the laws have been.
In fact the Police were reported to have bought him fast food from McDonalds after he was taken into custody.
Dylan Roof confessed to the killings and told police he wanted to start a race war between blacks and whites.
Dylan Roof espoused racial hatred in both a website manifesto published before the shooting, and a journal written from jail afterwards. Photographs posted on the website showed Roof posing with emblems associated with white supremacy and with photos of the Confederate battle flag.
Roof was convicted in Federal court of 33 federal hate crimes he faces the death penalty.
Yet the Media and politicians do not call Roof what he is, a domestic christian terrorist.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations struggled to label this heinous killing by this inbred monster ‚what it was , a textbook case of domestic Terrorism.
Since the commencement of Donald Trump’s campaign for the American Presidency , his violent incendiary and hateful speeches against Blacks , Muslims, Mexicans , Immigrants and anyone not a Caucasian , incidents of hateful attacks has gone up as well as terrorist attacks by white men against members of the aforementioned groups.
According to News One , Hate crimes in nine U.S. metropolitan areas rose more than 20 percent last year — reversing a downward trend in the last few years — fueled in part due to the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, according to a prominent researcher’s new report.
California researcher Brian Levin said that bias crimes appeared to increase in some cities following the Nov. 8 election of Donald Trump, including bomb threats to mosques and desecration of Jewish cemeteries.
There were 56 hate crimes reported in New York City as of Sunday, Feb. 12, up from just 31 incidents over the same time period last year, according to figures released by the New York Police Department.
More and more News Organizations are now tracking incidents of hate crimes across the country . One of those sources Think Progress ‚since November 9, 2016, they tracked 261 hate incidents across the country.
WHITE SUPREMACY IS DEADLY: WHEN WILL WE START TAKING THIS RHETORIC SERIOUSLY?
Surveillance cameras captured footage, and witnesses have said Urbanski appeared to be intoxicated. Urbanski has been charged with first-degree murder, and authorities are investigating whether to charge him with a hate crime. As The Washington Post reported, according to campus police, Urbanski was was a member of a white supremacist Facebook group called “Alt-Reich Nation.”
Collins, on the other hand, was a second lieutenant in the Army. A senior at Bowie State University, he was set to graduate on Tuesday with a degree in business administration. But an act of violence that may have roots in the hate that is constantly ignored or downplayed by law enforcement denied him that opportunity and his family the chance to witness it.
The focus continue to be singularly directed at Muslim Terrorists while local home grow terrorists continue to stock up on high powered weaponry here in America .
They train as Militias and spread their message of terror and hatred with little attention being paid to them by law enforcement at both the federal and local levels.
The question which we must answer is whether terrorism has been re-defined to mean The use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal when committed by Muslims?
Two men killed on Portland train while trying to stop anti-Muslim hate speech
A known white supremacist allegedly murdered two men for intervening the harassment of Muslim women in Portland.
Two men were killed Friday in Portland when they tried to stop an anti-Muslim rant on the MAX train at the Hollywood Transit Station, the Oregonian reported. Another man also suffered stab wounds, but he is expected to survive.
Police say that the suspect fled from the scene, but was eventually arrested in Northeast Portland.
The attack occurred in the mid-afternoon when the suspect, later identified to be 35-year-old Jeremy Joseph Christian, began yelling “hate speech or biased language” directed at two young women, one of whom was wearing a hijab, the Oregonian reported. Some good samaritans tried to intervene, but then the man ranting turned on them with a knife. One man died on the train, while the other passed away at the hospital.
“These were folks just riding the train and unfortunately got caught up in this,” Portland police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said, according to the Oregonian.
“He was talking about a lot of different things, not just specifically anti-Muslim,” Simpson said. “We don’t know if he’s got mental health issues. We don’t know if he’s under the influence of drugs or alcohol or all of the above.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the incident Friday, referencing President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric as a possible cause.
“President Trump must speak out personally against the rising tide of Islamophobia and other forms of bigotry and racism in our nation that he has provoked through his numerous statements, policies and appointments that have negatively impacted minority communities,” CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said, Reuters reported.
Christian was booked Saturday morning into a Multnomah County jail on suspicion of aggravated murder and attempted murder, the Oregonian reported. A Facebook page under the suspect’s name connects him to an alt-right protest in Portland and shows that he was a part of violent online groups, the Oregonian reported.
