Yesterday on the Wall Street Journal opinion blog was an item where the Muslim beauty, and the 2005 Miss London, Hammasa Kohistani postulates that "even" a moderate Muslim can slip right into becoming terrorists because of the attitude others have towards them in today's Islamic Jihad rich environment. WHAT??????You mean that Muslims are so fragile, so inherently prone to unspeakable evil that some dirty looks, or a few anti-Muslim signs, or being singled out in an airport screening line will push, say an accountant, into a bomb belt wearing suicide west hater? You know instead of playing in that cricket match, I'll strap on some C-4 and get on a bus!
Oh, my....so we better listen to Kohistani and not profile Muslims. Never mind that the most unifying link to nearly all terrorists acts around the world in the last 10 years is that those involved are Muslim extremists.....if we just act nice, don't stare...don't do that....they will just sit on the fence with normal loving person on one side and terrorist on the other.....it's so easy for them to become terrorists...so don't push them!
Exact text from James Tarranto of the WSJ opinion blog:
Moderate Terrorists
"The first Muslim to be crowned Miss England has warned that stereotyping members of her community is leading some towards extremism," reports London's Daily Mail:
Hammasa Kohistani made history last year when she was chosen to represent
England in the Miss World pageant. . . .
She said: "The attitude towards Muslims has got worse over the year.
Also the Muslims' attitude to British people has got worse.
"Even moderate Muslims are turning to terrorism to prove themselves.
They think they might as well support it because they are stereotyped anyway. It
will take a long time for communities to start mixing in
more. . . ."
So let's see if we follow this argument. According to Kohistani, Muslims are so thin-skinned and so violent that they respond to prejudice with terrorism.
Um, isn't that an invidious stereotype?
