Muslims and Islamophobia
Anti Muslim Rhetoric in US Reaching a Dangerous Level
by Sheila Musaji
Nov 12, 2009

“The difference between “going postal,” in the conventional sense, and “going Muslim,” in the sense that I suggest, is that there would not necessarily be a psychological “snapping” point in the case of the imminently violent Muslim; instead, there could be a calculated discarding of camouflage--the camouflage of integration--in an act of revelatory catharsis.”

“Muslims may be more extreme because their religion is founded on bellicose conquest, a contempt for infidels and an obligation for piety that is more extensive than in other schemes.” Muslims are the most difficult “incomers” in the ongoing integration challenge, which America has always handled with pride--and a kind of swagger.”

“Have we reached that point of breakdown in trust? Not yet, I think, and not by some distance; but a few more murderous incidents of the Maj. Hasan variety--a few more shouts of “Allahu Akbar” as Americans are shot dead--will push many Americans on to a dangerous cusp.”

Notice the “seemingly integrated”, “apparent integration”, “Muslims are the most difficult ‘incomers’”. Notice his degrading description of the entire religion of Islam, not just the actions of a particular Muslim. This is a man who can barely control his absolute contempt, and who sounds as if he would be happy for a “dangerous cusp” to be reached.
