Faux Condemnations and Burial Plot Pretense: Crocodile Tears From Muslims Over Mumbai Terrorist Attacks
By Debbie Schlussel
Some ignorant conservatives, along with the predictable liberal mainstream media, are falling for the crocodile tears from Muslims in response to the Mumbai attacks perpetrated by Muslims.
First, there’s CAIR–the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the HAMAS front-group and unindicted co-conspirator in terrorism. CAIR “condemned” the attacks. But, in fact, in its faux-“condemnation” declined to mention the Jewish and Israeli hostages, only mentioning Brits and Americans. That’s because CAIR doesn’t actually condemn the attacks on the Jews or their executions.
And even had CAIR specifically condemned those, it would be phony, since it has always been CAIR’s policy never to condemn homicide bombings and attacks on innocent civilians by Hezbollah, HAMAS, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, etc. Those are no different than the attacks of last week.
Oh, and lest you miss the real point of CAIR’s “condemnation”, I’ll repeat it for you, here. It’s not about the victims. It’s about the Muslims–you know, the “real victims” of all terrorism (despite the fact that they are almost always the perpetrators and almost never the victims):
The Washington-based group [CAIR] also asked the Indian government to protect all its citizens from the type of retaliatory attacks that have taken place following similar incidents in the recent past.
Because you know, Muslims who murdered dozens and wounded hundreds are not the ones who are really violent. It’s the “retaliatory attacks”–the “backlash” that never happens and, frankly, should happen or the terrorism will continue–that should be our priority.
Typical.
Then, there are the Indian Muslim cemeteries, which are letting you know–to great mainstream media reception–that they won’t accept the remains of the Islamic terrorists for burial.
Wow, thanks for the favor.
It’s really surprising to me that some so-called conservatives are sooooo ignorant and uncritically thinking when it comes to Islam that they bought these crocodile tears hook, line, and sinker.
But here’s the real scoop. Muslims in India know that non-Muslims there are sick and tired of their crap and far less PC about Islam. They don’t want further bad publicity or gravesites that will be scenes of deserved vandalism and protests. This ain’t about doing the right thing. Or about charity. With Islam, it never is.
When they start denying burial plots to HAMAS and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad and Fatah homicide bombers and terrorists at Islamic cemeteries all over the world (and especially in the Mid-East), then it’s something to take note of. Until then–as in when hell freezes–this is a calculated, empty, cheap PR ploy. That’s something Islam knows how to do well.
They aren’t doing this out of kindness, but out of recognition that it will bring increased, deserved ill will toward them from non-Muslims in India who are sick and tired of their crap.
Oh, and by the way, I’m sure the Paki Muslim cemeteries will happily oblige. Don’t you worry your little heart about it.
Calling any favorable attention to this story is like gushing over the “the hijackers hijacked our religion” crap we constantly heard after 9/11.
All BS. Pure bullcrap.
Muslim “condemnations” of Muslim terror attacks? Muslim “denial of burial plots” to Muslim terrorists?
Three letters: B-F-D. Big Deal, with a very appropriate adjective in the middle.
People have to be really stupid and gullible to believe CAIR. It reminds me of the PLO constantly ‘condeming’ Muslim/terrorists attacks on Israeli Jews. We all kow the condemnation is phony, but the elite (sic) in the U.S. and Israel continues to cling to the PLO as a peace partner. How can anyone believe the PLO is condemning terrorism when it is apparent they approve of, and promote terrorism? Same with CAIR.
And of course, the fact that Indian Muslim leaders say they don’t want the terrorists’ remains to be buried in their cemetaries, doesn’t mean they won’t be. Just another rhetorical statement.
The conservative movement is in an ideological crisis, just like the Republican Party is. I think the next few months will tell whether it is able to regenerate, or whether it will just continue, as a whole, moving in the direction of being an opposition cheerleader squad.
