It’s Official! Islam Is Not A Race.

I’m on a stack of mailing lists, as well as twitter for fun and education.

One of those is for the Council of American-Islamic Relations, which would probably be better named as the Council of American/Islamic Re-education.

I don’t read them every day, as there are simply not enough hours in the day for that while still working, sleeping, pretending to do housework and most importantly indoctrinating bringing up the next generation of nilknarfs.

This one is important, though, because as someone who routinely gets labelled as a racist, it’s nice to get a bit of validation from the Other Side.

With the tagline of, “American Muslims Pose Little Threat, Study Says (NY Times)” the CAIR mailout linked to this little gem:

WASHINGTON — A feared wave of homegrown terrorism by radicalized Muslim Americans has not materialized, with plots and arrests dropping sharply over the two years since an unusual peak in 2009, according to a new study by a North Carolina research group.

The study, to be released on Wednesday, found that 20 Muslim Americans were charged in violent plots or attacks in 2011, down from 26 in 2010 and a spike of 47 in 2009.

Charles Kurzman, the author of the report for the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security, called terrorism by Muslim Americans “a minuscule threat to public safety.” Of about 14,000 murders in the United States last year, not a single one resulted from Islamic extremism, said Mr. Kurzman, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina.

Okay, so because there weren’t many that means they aren’t a threat?

Remind me again how many thousands of people make up the so-called “Magnificent 19”?

Oh, that’s right, it only took a few willing to kill themselves in order to murder many.

It only takes one man with a gun to kill a dozen passers-by, for example, or another with a big car to run down plenty more.

But enough of that.

I’m especially interested in this little snippet:

The report also found that no single ethnic group predominated among Muslims charged in terrorism cases last year — six were of Arab ancestry, five were white, three were African-American and two were Iranian, Mr. Kurzman said. That pattern of ethnic diversity has held for those arrested since Sept. 11, 2001, he said.

Forty percent of those charged in 2011 were converts to Islam, Mr. Kurzman found, slightly higher than the 35 percent of those charged since the 2001 attacks. His new report is based on the continuation of research he conducted for a book he published last year, “The Missing Martyrs: Why There Are So Few Muslim Terrorists.” emphasis added

So what does this tell us? That islam is quite obviously colour-blind. It’s not restricted to Middle-easterners, although they are the most visible.

They come in all shapes and sizes. And sexes.

They also range all over the world, including extremists here in Australia.

Note the plaintive mention of ‘racism’ as a reason for feeling disaffected. It’s a common ploy, because as we all know, racism is eeevil, and white people are generally the only ones deemed to be racist in this day and age.

Check out ‘whiteness’ studies, for example. Here’s handy syllabus example to get you started (pdf).

Anyway, racism is a word that’s thrown about so freely these days that it is losing its efficacy.

And CAIR agrees. Charles Kurzman, who appears to have made a comfortable living out of talking about islam agrees.

This is good news for us white people who don’t like islam. It’s an acknowledgement of what we already know – Islam. Is. Not. A. Race.

It’s a religion, a belief system, a totalitarian ideology.

And it does not discriminate.

The bad news is, of course, that Islam. Is. Not. A. Race.

It means an extra layer of difficulty in identifying people who might be tempted towards Sudden Jihad Syndrome, although there is a noted tendency in the original article that converts might be a bit more likely than others.

Again, we have that here in Australia with Shannon Conlon, a convert who hates democracy, believes that sharia is the way to go and gets far too much airtime for my liking.

He’s not our only one, of course; just one of the later ones. We still have Jihad Jack Thomas, our very own Talitubby David Hicks (aka Mahamud Dawood) and there are of course women here too.

I guess now that we are in agreement with CAIR, I can be out and proud of speaking out against islamic practices and beliefs that are abhorrent.

  1. This article is simply excellent, and extremely informative. Total agreement, Islam is not a race, and there’s not a racial struggle, as multiculturalists and leftists want to depict it in order to be able to freely shout “racist”, “fascist”, “nazi” etc… but a cultural one. The seventh century barbarian islamic culture attacking the culturally and socially developed west. The problem lies in the mind, and not in the pigment cells of the skin. The other problem is that the west could be strong enough to reject any attack from such a retarded culture, but multiculturalism has weakened it in such a way (feminism, soft/hardcore porn, relativism, secularism…) that it has become an easy prey to Islam. The west should get rid of this multiculturalist disease as soon as possible in order to defend itself properly. There may be no other way to repel islam.

    The most maddening, however, is that this load of crap called “whiteness studies” has been created… by whites!!! Barbara Kay of Canada’s National Post wrote about it: “The goal of WS is to entrench permanent race consciousness in everyone — eternal victimhood for nonwhites, eternal guilt for whites — and was most famously framed by WS chief guru, Noel Ignatiev, former professor at Harvard University,: ‘The key to solving the social problems of our age is to abolish the white race.’”

    And it is also true that the word “racist” is undergoing a strong process of inflation. It seems that it has lost entirely its meaning. Calling someone “racist” is increasingly like telling someone that (s)he is evil. Plainly evil, without any other connotation.

    Many thanks to vladtepes for posting it. Really excellent.

    Where I live you spot the salafists so quickly, They stick out by their beards and niqabs. Its the so called moderates you got to what out for, stealth jihadis. These are the ones who go for public service jobs and earn or serve any real purpose. Southwark is riddled with them.

  3. They more often than not prove that they’re mere animals. Personally, each and every time I have been physically threatened in my life, it has been by a person of color. Of course I am a racist. Now what the hell is not to be expected.

  4. Runner I wish you were right, however it is still a religion.

    The article should be published one every website that reports the news.

  5. If there is one thing I can say to young people, it is this. Don’t waste one minute of your life on the self-hate agenda perpetrated on us for the past fifty to one hundred fifty years by the race industries of Europe and North America. Being white and educated is not a crime and is nothing to be ashamed of. The race industries have made permanent, perpetual and professional victims out of the very people they were/are ostensibly there to help. It is way past time to move on. We have wallowed in this weepy muck for much too long. If people of color, ethnicity, religion, ideology, superstition, belief, etc. fall flat on their faces, well, let them lie there. It is their responsibility, not yours, to pick themselves up and get with the program. They don’t deserve special treatment or consideration. Has anyone reading this ever owned a slave? No? Then anything having to do with slavery is not your fault and not your responsibility. Some of my ancestors and probably some of your ancestors “owned” slaves, but so what? It wasn’t me and it wasn’t you. Life is tough. At one time, unless you were royalty, you were a slave. Hey, serf, slave, etc., what’s the difference? So, mostly, somewhere in our own ancestries, out great, great, great, etc. grandfathers were probably, in effect, slaves of some sort. And, when it comes to ideologies, religions, beliefs, superstitions, etc., they are ALL fair game for analysis, criticism and ridicule, including our own Judeo/Christian heritage. Lastly, when it comes to the blood-lust, totalitarian, pretend-religion, ideology of Islam, well, it simply deserves no quarter and must be exposed for what it is, eliminated if possible. It must be exposed and criticized and ridiculed until every person with a brain cell remaining understands that it is antithetical to literally everything in Western civilization. If that enrages the poor little pitiful crybaby whiny Muslims, so be it.
