Stigmatizing The Enemy Within

[Martin Eden Mercury]

Fortunately there isn't hardly any 'unwarranted animosity' toward Islam; it's history is clear and obvious. Sane people don't worry about offending terrorists, any more than we should have worried about making Hitler and his Nazis or the Japanese 'angry with us and playing into their hands'. It's a ridiculous and idiotic premise, made by a 'President' who just agreed to nuclear arm a nation of insane Mullahs who routinely announce they are going to commit genocide aganst[sic] one of our allies.

This post infers Islam equals terrorism. The Broad Brush Art Class is hereby canceled.

Throughout Europe Islam equals terrorism.

How many Muslims live in Europe? How long have they lived there?

I posses a healthy *contempt for those fellow citizens, and their allies from outside our shores, who would turn us against each other. They would do this first by stigmatizing a minority group in America, for the actions of a few; and follow up with later condemning those of us who would not follow lockstep into tearing our republic apart. History tells us what happens when we allow a faction to divide us along lines so hateful and loathsome -- the only way through it is a revolution, or a civil war.

Even you know we are a Republic.

When people attacked Pearl Harbor, we bombed the hell out of them, we didn't over think the issue and worry about stigmas or blowback, let alone worry about a anti Japanese backlash. It's called living in the moment, it is hard. And it has negative consequences. But at least we aren't crashing planes into buildings and putting people in ovens.

Completely correct.

Fool. Everyone knows the pledge of allegiance. There is no battle there.

She's actually misinformed. MaryL was quite the misinformed one

It is time to start castigating those who would dare stigmatize Muslim Americans, and do so without any sort of deep thinking, or contemplation (cogitation); as to how their bigotry and hatred, their fear and loathing of others -- would hurt us as a nation. Those who ceaselessly attempt to stigmatize other Americans, simply because of their religious beliefs, ethnic origin, or nationality are the enemy within; the enemy within. Two quotes from Edmund Burke -- "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." and "In a democracy, the majority of the citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority." -- sum it up for me.

One week ago, President Obama responded to the attacks in Belgium, by the DAESH/Islamic State. President Obama said Muslim-Americans are “our most important partners in the nation’s fight against those who would wage violent jihad...That’s why we have to reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslim-Americans, and their enormous contributions to our country and our way of life...Such attempts are contrary to our character, to our values, and to our history as a nation built around the idea of religious freedom. It’s also counterproductive...It plays right into the hands of terrorists who want to turn us against one another — who need a reason to recruit more people to their hateful cause.” That terrible terrorist attack killed something like 32 people, including I believe, two Americans; but it also wounded around 300 people -- many of those critically. I applaud President Obama as a profile in courage.

When you dehumanize and stigmatize individuals of a certain or religion or cultural background it makes it easier declassify them as humans and treat them in disgusting hate filled way. The movie "Conclave" when a Cardinal calls a group of people, 'Animals".

In Viet Nam we called Indigeous people "Gooks" and in Iraq and Afghanistan they locals "Hagis" and 'Sand N***ERS" They were NOT humans, they were dehumanized . Dehumanizing makes easier hate, hate makes it easier to kill.

Trump is the first ORGANIC PRESIDENT we have had in my 67 years, the rest were Deep State front men.
