You can't help how you feel, you can only help your actions. Why are you acting like I'm suddenly condoning Islamophobia? "I don't blame them" means "I understand how they feel and why they feel that way", not "these are perfectly okay thoughts to have". And I never said anything one way or the other about what you're talking about, so I'm not sure why you're reprimanding me. I blamed ISIS for destroying Islam's reputation and creating distrust - people are literally being murdered in the streets right now and you're telling them it should be easy right now to take refuge and not worry that more Muslims might not be participating in these acts of terrorism? That's what's insane.

Look, of course this is terrible, and of course I have nothing but sympathy for the victims/their families, and this is going to be hard for them-- but when you have French people immediately jumping up to provide shelter and protection for scared Muslims who are under the very, very real threat of retaliation for something they didn't do, I'm having a hard time swallowing your "well it's perfectly natural that they're going to feel afraid of Muslims" pill.

I'm reprimanding you because your first thought after "this might have been ISIS" was "who can blame people for hating Muslims", and that's horrifically flawed thinking.

You don't have to like it. But it IS natural that a lot of people are afraid right now. This is not the first attack that Paris has endured, and fuck the night is not even over. That's the whole fucking point of terrorism, to cause chaos and distrust and attack people at the very heart. Don't you scold people right now who are literally fucking dying in the streets for not knowing who is going to murder them.

I'm done trying to reason with you. Have a good night.

Just want to say that I completely agree with you throughout this entire thread.

It boggles my mind that anyone could look at the atrocity of what these people did in France (so soon after the Charlie Hebdo thing, too) and fail to understand why many people in France would feel both fear and hatred for Islam. Not fear and hatred for Muslims, nor for Arabic people nor for any other race of people, but fear and hatred for Islam itself.

That seems like kind of a no brainer to me.

And yeah, some people aren't going to be very good at making a clear distinction, in their own minds, between how they feel about Islam and how they feel about Muslims in general. Which is unfair, and will have a negative effect on people who don't deserve it. But even these people I can't find much blame for at the moment. Because in the span of a year their country has been terrorized twice now in the name of a particular religious ideology. It's enough to make anyone wrong-footed and reactive.

ahhhhhh, the wait for these attack to return, over and over and over, AGAIN...
