The entire body of the ruling elite now sounds like the SPLC, invoking images of lynch mobs and racist zombies overtaking the streets in in a ruthless hunt for terrified minorities. This time it’s innocent Muslims in the wake of the Fort Hood massacre. Of course, the motivation for this hyped-up guilt-mongering is the same as the SPLC’s — to shame us into passive obedience to the globalist one-world agenda. Robert Spencer captures and skewers their rhetoric with deadly precision:
Backlash fever is sweeping the nation: thirteen Americans are dead and thirty-eight wounded in a jihad attack at Fort Hood, and our government’s primary concern — from the Chief of Staff of the Army to the Islamic pressure groups such as CAIR — are focused entirely on ensuring that Muslims in the United States are not being victimized by a “backlash.” …
Had there been any report — any report at all — of any innocent, random Muslim being attacked in a “backlash” after the Fort Hood jihad?
Nope. Not one. Americans are decent people. Americans believe people are innocent until proven guilty. But Ibrahim Hooper and his fellow thugs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) need to be able to claim that hate crimes are being committed so that they can claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from such small matters as the jihad at Fort Hood. And, naturally, the clueless and/or complicit mainstream media in their hip pocket. …
The only actual incidents of “backlash” that AP could come up with were incidents of people calling the Fort Hood massacre a jihad attack — as if it is “Islamophobic” and hateful to note that a man was shouting “Allahu akbar” as he gunned people down, and that he gave out Korans hours before he started shooting people, and that he expressed sympathy for suicide attackers.
From Big Sister Janet Napolitano to General of the One People’s Army George Casey, the message is the same: traditional America is the real enemy.

As I noted at Chronicles, how unsurprising that the MSM is blaming these murders on *anti-Muslim intolerance*. Think about that. This tragedy is, in itself, an eloquent argument *against* 3rd world (specifically Muslim) immigration, but the MSM is slanting the story so that it plays as an argument against “intolerance”, and therefore *against anti-immigrationists*.
You almost have to respect the sinister caginess of the MSM. Amazing.

S. L. Toddard,
We can never underestimate our enemies.

Regarding Muslim victim status, it makes one reminiscent for the healthy America that used to be, as in: “If you don’t shutup, I’ll give you something to cry about!”

M,
If you remember the America that encouraged perserverence and responsibility, you must be as old as I am.
