Literally minutes after news of the slaughter broke, the Left and the media set to work focusing the discussion on the most important thing: Islamophobia. An author and professor at Rice University tweeted that the attack was "unfortunate" because of the effect it will have on Muslims in the city. Many others shared this concern. CNN refused initially to describe the killer, and reported that he yelled "God is great" so as to subtly de-Islamize him. MSNBC jumped in to insist that this is "not Islam whatsoever" and had nothing at all to do with Islam. The New Yorker immediately interviewed a local middle school teacher to find out how the attack might emotionally impact her Muslim students. NBC News published an article informing us that the poor Muslims are "again bracing for backlash."
Again? When did the first backlash happen? When has there been any serious backlash against Muslims in the United States? The really incredible thing is that Muslims have faced basically no backlash at all. If members of a minority religious group in pretty much any non-western country killed thousands of innocent civilians over the course of only two decades, you can bet there would be a sustained and violent campaign of reprisals against them. Most likely, there would be a full-on purge and banishment of the offending party. That's how Muslim groups are treated in Muslim countries by the dominant sect. But nothing of that sort has happened here or will ever happen here. Muslim Americans ought to show some gratitude for our enduring tolerance, rather than standing over our dead to inform us that they, the Muslims, are the real victims here.
Next to transgenderism, "Islamophobia" is truly the Left's most ludicrous fable.
