I’m told the author of this article is pretty good.
Think peace. Act peace. Spread peace. Imagine peace!
Poor white people. I’m so sorry, annoying stupid idiots that don’t let me sleep at night and blatantly throw arrogance, ignorance, and a massive white man’s superiority complex at my feet. I’m so sorry that I just step on that crap and forget about you.
ways to tell if an article is islamophobic
- author refers to muslims as ISLAMISTS or ISLAMICS
I guess that should be taken as an improvement from “Mohammedans”. Heh.
You are forgetting my favourite one: Muslamics.
shoutout to anyone that uses Islamism as a real term instead of a blanket term meaning Muslims you don’t like
This is so true. Islamism is an actual ideology with a meaning behind it. There are many forms of Islamism, some of which I like and some of which are oppressive and horrible. Islamism doesn’t mean strictly Salafi or Wahhabi and you certainly can’t use to just describe people that you don’t like.

There’s a disconnect with President Obama.
On one hand my pants are charmed right off when I see him giggle or flirt with Michelle or call Kanye a jackass. And yet this endearing, intelligent man is causing unnecessary horror. I’m talking about his use of drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan among other places (but I could also be talking about the detention of Bradley Manning without trial, or his decision to break his election promise and keep the Azkabanian Guantanamo Bay prison open). These drones, a controversial form of warfare which Obama has embraced more eagerly than George W Bush did, have beenintentionallykilling innocent civilians including children, rescuers, mourners and wedding parties.
Predator drones are essentially autopiloted missiles/planes that the US can guide to their targets from the comfort of a US base. Because there is no risk to American lives, drones have been unleashed with reckless abandon. And because there is no risk to American lives, drones have not attracted much interest from mainstream media. The enormous risk to Pakistani or Afghan lives does not sell newspapers.
The problem is not that there is a disconnect between his glowing image and monstrous acts. It’s the fact that his glowing image is being used toconcealhis monstrous acts. And he is doing it so effectively. I know he is causing unspeakable suffering to innocent people somewhere far away (in another country, in a detention cell, in a torture chamber) but right in front of me, all I can see is him singing Al Green, asking Betty White for her birth certificate, and calling Kanye a jackass (again).
It feels like a form of sensory deprivation, but this time used for theoppositeof torture. All my senses are being overloaded with fun images of pop culture and toothy grins, which making it so much easier to crowd out the images of unimaginable suffering - images I could never even get my head around in the first place and we’d all, frankly (and wrongly), rather ignore.
Real talk. Can’t stand muslims still loving this guy off
