"Of course, inflammatory anti-Muslim language must be condemned by us all". Or so said one Mr. Nawaz. Very ominously, he completely failed at doing that, in an article concerning the results this inflammatory anti-Muslim language engenders. Instead, he insists inflammatory anti-Muslim language must be provided a platform, and be enabled to normalize inflammatory anti-Muslim language.
Of course, there are the ubiquitous howls about shutting down debate. Then arrives one Mac on the scene, shutting down debate by preempting criticism of one Mr. Nawaz, and waving his own bloody shirt. Again.
Just days ago, fifty Muslims were brutally murdered, children, elderly, women. Mr. Nawaz finds words countering the brutalization and murder of Muslims, mentions the Bosnian genocide and the New Zealand mass-murder as lowest points for Muslim communities "in the West", a fine distinction dividing Muslims into convenient groups, which allows him completely to forget the criminal war of aggression on Iraq and the hundreds of thousands of dead Muslims there. The New Zealand murderer's manifesto exposed an internationally connected White-supremacist network. Within 24 hours of the attack, Facebook alone had to delete more than 1.5 million more or less gleefully shared / uploaded videos of the attack. At this time, in this context, Mr. Nawaz informs us this is the time to criticize Muslims and Islam.
To sum that up, Mr. Nawaz is a crackpot with an agenda that clouds his vision. At the very least, it's advisable to take his hasty, repetitive scribbling with a grain of salt. Make that, a huge block of salt.
