Far-Left Open Democracy says “Islamophobia” on the rise in Sri Lanka after Easter jihad massacres
This “Open Democracy” fishwrap literally smells of George Soros.
“As it unfortunately happens in any part of the world after a terrorist attack carried out by Islamist groups, the immediate consequence is a backlash against the Muslim community.”
That’s a false claim. There is media handwringing about a backlash against Muslims after every jihad massacre, but hardly ever is there an actual backlash.
There is no justification for attacks against innocent Muslims, anywhere at any time, or attacks on any innocent people. The concern after a massacre of Christians by Muslims, however, should be on how the victims can be protected against further such attacks. Carmen Aguilera-Carnerero’s analysis here reflects the establishment media’s ironclad rule: whenever non-Muslims attack Muslims, Muslims are the victims. And when Muslims attack non-Muslims, Muslims are the victims. Her remarks here are part of the larger practice of ignoring the ways in which jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to incite violence (and charging those who do look into this with “Islamophobia,”) and pretending that Muslims are being victimized worldwide, which is false.
