Quote:This really shows us that the facade around the definition of terrorism is beginning to crack wide open doesn't it.
NATO troops firing on and murdering dozens of civilians at a time, is _not_ terrorism, yet Muslims alledgedly plotting to target an army base _is_ terrorism... interesting. About the only factor which seems to change in those two cases, is whether Muslims are the victims or the perpetrators... So Muslim civilian victims are collateral damage, or regrettable casualties, or even human shields, if we really wanna open up the propaganda taps and get the bovine faeces flowing, whilst Muslim perpetrators are always terrorists...
Interesting indeed.
The interesting thing is that propagandists like our reident pseudo-moor never tire of rolling out the Muslims-are-victims trope
every time their co-religionists engage in yet one more despicable act.
Every time a Muslim is caught doing some crazy or barbaric things, the Abu Rashid/Keyzar Trad/your-imam-here brigade rushes out with the we-are-the-victims schtik.
They are not victims of anything but each other.
And
every time a Muslim does something crazy or despicable in non-muslim countries, they roll out that other stock response of the seasoned apologist for Muslim terrorists, the 'infidels-in-muslim-lands' excuse. Never hear about Muslims-in-infidel-lands'. The Barbary pirates, I mean victims, enslaved a million Europeans until the US navy put an end to that particular Muslim menace, I mean victimhood. Never hear about it from the Muslim 'victims'.
Or what about this:
“Where the French presence lasted fewer than four years before they were ignominiously expelled by the British and Turks, the Ottomans had been the masters of Egypt since 1517, a total of 280 years. Even if we count the later British and French protectorates, Egypt was under Western control for sixty-seven years, Syria for twenty-one years, and Iraq for only fifteen — and, of course, Saudi Arabia was never under Western control. Contrast this with southern Spain, which was under the Muslim yoke for 781 years, Greece for 381 years, and the splendid new Christian capital that eclipsed Rome — Byzantium — which is still in Muslim hands. But no Spanish or Greek politics of victimhood apparently exist.”
Abu Rashid and Keysar Trad and their ilk do a very thorough job of removing any remaing association between the words 'muslim' and 'credible'.i
