Conflating Religion and Race.

The day after last week’s attack in Boston, David Sirota wrote a column for Salon entitled “Let’s Hope the Boston Marathon Bomber Is a White American,” arguing that this would limit the resulting crackdown on civil liberties. At first, conservatives were appalled. Then, when police fingered the Tsarnaev brothers, they were triumphant. “Sorry, David Sirota, Looks Like Boston Bombing Suspects Not White Americans,” snickered a headline in Newsbusters. “Despite the most fervent hopes of some writers over at Salon.com,” added a blogger at Commentary, “the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing are not ‘white Americans’.”

  1. A nice and bold article. But please keep in mind these days religion Islam only has the built in potential to raise the motivation of its followers to an extent where one gets ready to offer his/her life for religious cause. Here now comes the million dollar point. The fanatic Islamic Mullah since knows this trait of Islam as such at times misuses it by wrong interpretations of teachings of Islam and innocent Muslims fall prey to these wrongly interpreted teachings. Pakistan and area around is the largest home ground for the activities of such fanatic mullahs. To oust this religious menace most obvious and in forefront is the International Ahmadiyya Community trying its best to educate the Muslims about the real peaceful and lovely teachings of Islam. However unfortunate part is neither the Muslim world nor others pay attention to this community. In certain countries including Pakistan the community is not considered even Muslim. I can assure if the real Islamic teachings as interpreted by AMC (Ahmadiyya Muslim Community) are followed by all Muslims the whole world start accepting the Muslims as role models for bringing love and peace to global society. 125 years of Ahmadiyya history supports this view point.

    The above remarks by Zubair khan sahib are vey useful. Problem is duplicated because the non-Muslim educated people do not know about Islam.

    The Mullas are preaching and practicing the violent version of Islam. The western people also say that Islam is violent. In that way they all support the already violent Mulla. It creates more problems.
