Given what happens when Muslims move into non-Muslim countries, it is rational for non-Muslims to have some negative feelings about Muslims, just as it is rational for non-blacks to have negative feelings about blacks moving in. <\/p>\n
The plaint truth is that normal healthy non-Muslims do not want Muslims and Africans flooding into their countries.<\/p>\n
New York Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n PARIS \u2014 In recent days, jihadists killed 41 people at Istanbul\u2019s bustling, shiny airport; 22 at a cafe in Bangladesh; and at least 250 celebrating the final days of Ramadan in Baghdad. Then the Islamic State attacked, again, with bombings in three cities in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n By Tuesday, Michel Kilo, a Syrian dissident, was leaning wearily over his coffee at a Left Bank cafe, wondering: Where was the global outrage? Where was the outpouring that came after the same terrorist groups unleashed horror in Brussels and here in Paris? In a supposedly globalized world, do nonwhites, non-Christians and non-Westerners count as fully human?<\/p>\n \u201cAll this crazy violence has a goal,\u201d Mr. Kilo, who is Christian, said: to create a backlash against Muslims, divide societies and \u201cmake Sunnis feel that no matter what happens, they don\u2019t have any other option.\u201d<\/p>\n This is not the first time that the West seems to have shrugged off massacres in predominantly Muslim countries. But the relative indifference after so many deaths caused by the very groups that have plagued the West is more than a matter of hurt feelings.<\/p>\n One of the primary goals of the Islamic State and other radical Islamist groups is to drive a wedge between Sunni Muslims and the wider world, to fuel alienation as a recruiting tool. And when that world appears to show less empathy for the victims of attacks in Muslim nations, who have borne the brunt of the Islamic State\u2019s massacres and predatory rule, it seems to prove their point.<\/p>\n \u201cWhy isn\u2019t #PrayForIraq trending?\u201d Razan Hasan of Baghdad posted on Twitter. \u201cOh yeah no one cares about us.\u201d<\/p>\n Hira Saeed of Ottawa asked on Twitter why Facebook had not activated its Safety Check feature after recent attacks as it did for Brussels, Paris and Orlando, Fla., and why social media had not been similarly filled with the flags of Turkey, Bangladesh and Iraq. \u201cThe hypocrisy is the western world is strong,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Given what happens when Muslims move into non-Muslim countries, it is rational for non-Muslims to have some negative feelings about Muslims, just as it is rational for non-blacks to have negative feelings about blacks moving in.
