This is a sickness -- a societal death wish and orgy of self-hatred. The furious rush to sanitize the motive is the sanction of the victim. Boston Globe Frets Over City’s Muslims After Marathon Bombing by Warner Todd Huston at Wizbang, April 19, 2013
Before the dust has settled, before any idea of who perpetrated the Boston Marathon bombing and why is determined, the Boston Globe is fretting for the city’s Muslims claiming that there will surely be a “backlash” if the bombers are found to be Islamic extremists. This despite that even after 9/11 there was never any real backlash against Muslims in this country.
For the Boston Globe, columnist Yvonne Abraham opens her piece sonorously noting that Boston’s “Imams have been praying for Monday’s bombings” and fretfully claims they are also “praying” that the perpetrator isn’t a Muslim.
Abraham then goes on to claim that Boston’s Muslims experienced a “backlash” after the attacks by Islamic extremists on Sept. 11, 2001. She even outrageously evokes Japanese internment camps from WWII.
He recalls the backlash that followed the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He remembers being afraid to send his children to school for a few days afterward, and the way some began to view all Muslims with suspicion, even hostility. A few fringe-dwellers even spoke of internment camps like those that held Japanese-Americans during the ≠Second World War.
This is all nonsense. No one talked of putting Muslims in concentration camps. Further, Muslims did not experience any backlash in the United States immediately after 9/11 or since.
A look at the FBI’s hate crime statistics shows such a tiny number of crimes against Muslims that they aren’t even worth mentioning. Out of a nation of over 300

The excremedia, it stinks.
I guess all you Muslims better be on your best behavior then.
Maybe it's time they did.
Its ironic that the media is reporting every connection from the bombers’ lives and from every extended member of their family but the still haven’t found anyone who every attended a class with Obama.
Keep up the good fight Pamela and don’t back down, but i’m afraid for Gellar’s safety.
“Suspect #1” and “Suspect #2”...
The dead brother’s name is easy enough to say- “Tam-er-lan”...not too bad, only three syllables, spelled just like it sounds. And then there’s young “Dzhokhar” (Show-car), not nearly as much spelled like IT sounds.
It clearly paints the portrait that were just good, God-fearing young men who snapped.
Also, the front page of the Merc has a huge headline: "It's Over." If that means we have fully capitulated and are ready to pay jizyah, then I'd have to agree. But for at least some Americans, it is far from "over."
On Salon, they’re equating the Muslim Boston bombers with Kleybold and Harris from Columbine. It’s a “dyad” only (where one person has more power over the other) and not a jihad.
Give me a freaking break.
Correction, that was at Slate.com
I'll just bet they have.
Wow. Great graphic.
Yep. Found it on FaceBook this morning.
It’s from Travis McGee
Nope, I posted it to him this morning.
