Mark Steyn recently described a disparity in perception: “All jihad is local, but all “Islamophobia” is global.”

There are non-Muslims who put their thumbs on the same side of the scales as the Muslim Brotherhood do but for reasons entirely unrelated to Islam or Sharia. One bunch that does this are the Woke and those like them which see life through the lens of some reputed imbalance of power between “the whites” or “European civilization” or even “Christians” (note: culturally influenced by Christianity is enough) which are assumed to have this mythic power and thus are the oppressors and put near everyone else that is assumed to not have this attribute and are therefore are the oppressed.

These nitwits on the Left imagine Muslims are among the oppressed, ignoring centuries worth of facts about Islam in the process.

Being a victim can give one an excuse in the eyes of such people if someone ever acts up. Thus we found, on the next day after 9/11, Ivy League nitwits who couldn’t bring themselves to describe what the terrorists had done as evil.

But on the other side of the coin anything that is done by anyone in a group that is reputed to have this mythic power is seen as validation of the whole proposition of that group as oppressors. The only escape for someone in such a group is to parrot correct thinking, and then they can pat themselves on the back that they aren’t the bad people.

So the same folks who can even go so far as to separate the Jihad from the Jihadi can have little difficulty using others to smear whole swaths of the population just because they have some tenuous and entirely involuntary association because of their race, ethnicity or their culture.

This last was recently seen with Jussie:. He walks because he’s a victim.

So my prediction: the whitewash will commence soon and apologist will mobilize to downplay his plans or try to understand his justifications. They’ll speak about entrapment andhis ruined life.
