When's the last time you heard of a Muslim carrying out a mass shooting in America, right?
How many of those mass shootings, if you were to scrub the social media, what, 400, 500 mass shootings a year?
If you were to scrub the social media of some of those that carried out those shootings, you know, we're good for one or two idiots a year, right?
It's unfortunate that you're going to have people that carry out despicable acts of violence
But when we as Muslims hear someone in the media say terrorism has been ruled out as a possibility while the blood is still on the floor of that Walmart, we already know that the police chief just said that that wasn't a Muslim.
Don't worry.
You know, that wasn't an al-Qaeda guy or an ISIS guy.
It was one of our own, right?
And so it's become...
frankly ridiculous because the association of violence with Islam is one that is used to actually carry out acts of violence against Muslims worldwide.
It justifies bad policy towards Muslims worldwide and in the United States.
And it's just factually so lazy.
There was a study just about how the media gives more attention to acts of violence done by Muslims and immediately stamps it with Islam up to 300% more than it will with another act of violence carried out in the name of anything else.
So you don't hear about the acts of violence that are carried out by others.
You don't hear about the religion of the perpetrators.
You don't associate terrorism with actions, frankly, of state terrorism.
When governments launch chemical attacks or drone weddings and do so while explicitly dehumanizing the people, just because they do so with the government apparatus doesn't make it any less terroristic than if it's a lone person that goes out and commits an act of violence, trying to achieve a political goal.
So the association is lazy, historically speaking.
The Crusades, I grew up in Louisiana.
I saw Klan rallies, Ku Klux Klan rallies my whole life.
