Interesting to see the implicit sexism and racism in the posted signs: the roles they assign to white men (villains), white women (heroes) and non-white women (victims in need of white heroes).
Oh, about this "building a safe space" nonsense: if a petite woman intervenes, and that provokes the attacker into an actual physical attack...can she sue the sign's designer for her injuries?
Do these people realize that the ones who perpetrate "aggression toward others because of their appearance or beliefs" are the Muslims?
If not, they're idiots. If they do, then they are accomplices of the terrorists and jihadis.
Well. Might as well be as close to the explosion as possible. Why risk being an invalid for the rest of your life?
This sign was designed by an artist in Paris France. How is the muslim assimilation there working out? Oh that's right!!! It's not.
Let's see a MUslim stop attcking a non-Muslim as a result of such tactic!
Defend the individual from a personal attack - then more importantly inform the muslim that their clothing is purposefully, and unnecessarily, aggravating an already bad situation, and that it is their agenda and fault to create this attack.
Have you seen a homosexual TV show lately? Try Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, etc.. That should break the ice. Posters on how to treat muslims. Do you notice that they only show a muslim woman? Now why would that be? Apparently muslim men take a different form of transportation or don't sit by their women.
Can someone tell me where I can go to a "safe place" in my own country where I'm not at risk of being blown up, beheaded or my daughters being raped, mowed down my nutters in lorry's etc etc
yes - just move in next to any one of the tens of thousands of communist left wing politicians who promote muslim iinvasion of our country - these politicos would never live next door to muslims!
Yes, let's stop Islamophic Harrasment, but let's paint white males with tattoos as bad people in our ads.
That works. NEVER. All this talk of safe spaces and how evil white men are is just getting to the point of being comical. Grats on an awesome cartoon, lady.
"The number of reported hate crimes targeting Muslims tripled from 5 in 2015 to 19 in 2016, according to a Boston Globe analysis of Boston police data" hummmm and how many islamist crimes????
What does that have to do with anything? "Leave people alone on the T" is too complicated for you?
Re: "Hate should be eliminated." Interesting idea.
How does one do that, again? By placing posters on the T?
The criticisms below are rather surprising. I think this is a great idea.
I note that the Islamophobic villain in the cartoon is the stereotyped image of the Hillary Clinton nemesis : " white male working class deplorable " ?
Islamophobia has its roots in the New Colonialism in the Middle East. Millions of Islamic victims of US war crimes !
Our American plutocracy -quite naturally - looks down with contempt on ALL the working class people of the world . And more often with deadly drone bombs. Ask Edward Snowden about this.
You want to stop Islamophobia, Mr. Ruling Class ? End the military occupation of the Middle East. End all military support for Zionist Apartheid Israel.
DNC based " identity politics " has no quarrel with CLASS snobbery.
and the Fort Hood killer as well
Does it ever occur to " identity politics " fanatics that the much maligned Christian religion - including that old Catholic Baltimore Catechism- instructed young people always to show love and compassion for " the stranger " ? And I don't recall an iota of anti-Semitism in parochial schools in 50s or 60s - the " golden age of American Catholicism ".
I agree with Black Muslim Malcolm X ( 1965) that Islam is fundamentally " a religion of peace ".
Malcolm X did make a connect between racism and capitalism, between racism and imperialism.
Since 1848 traditional Marxism has been calling ALL the workers of the world " brothers and sisters ". Guess who was involved in the assassination of Malcolm X ?
The FBI - now slobbered over by " progressive " Democrats .
There is no lack of hatefulness in the Old Testament. Read Isaac Asimov's " Guide to the Bible ". Asimov was always polite and respectful but he did not read the Judeo-Christian Holy Book with brain dead attention. Catholics are more spiritually oriented toward the New Testament epiphanies- and the ancient dogma of the Virgin Mary ( which intrigued the psychiatrist Carl Jung. We all love kind, gentle MOTHER ! And maybe Papa will listen to HER ? )
What Christian or Jew today takes serious the Biblical warning : " Do not a suffer a witch to live ". ? It seems that many Christian and Jewish " liberals " still believe in the witch hunt ( now the New McCarthyism ).
Just re-read the " Autobiography of Malcolm X " and note how the religion of Islam saved him and many of his black brothers and sisters from a life of self-hating degradation.
Why Islam in just the last few decades seems to be a religion of hate is explained by the very title of early news media articles on the Malcolm X and the Black Muslim movement in the early 60s : " The Hate That Hate Produced " ( Mike Wallace ) .
You start to hurt any people and smear their religion and they fight back. The Jews can understand that.
Report to the Oven, Jude. No one is buying your poisoned schmaltz anymore.
Marx = Der ewige Jude.
Karl Marx - " The Eternal Jew " ( translation ). We democratic socialists credit Karl Marx with the first scientific insight into this exploiting, oppressive capitalist system - which now threatens all life on earth.
No doubt those Old Testament prophets were a spiritual influence on the young Marx when he began his erudite investigations. The horrors of the Industrial Revolution haunt Das Kapital.
You can read Erich Fromm on the connection between Marxism and Judaism. Fromm wrote " The Sane Society " , " The Art of Loving " , " The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness ". He described himself as a socialist humanist. Too many intellectual Jews today - stupefied by Zionism - are not even humanist liberals. We hope to hear from more socialist Jews. I recall the late Harvard professor Howard Zinn - with deep appreciation.
Nah. It's Just Plain Jews. Never mind all that blather. Jews are JEWS. Marx learned the evil contained within the Talmud, when a young demon, at his rabbinical relatives knees. Communism is the political manifestation of Talmudism. (((Capitalism))) is simply the other side of the same shekel. The chief threat to the existence of the planet and Humanity are the Tribe of Satan, and the fact that they wholly control the JEWSA "government". Let's discuss the contents of the Talmud, shall we?
I don't see how any politically literate person -or any literate person- can have a general hostility to the Jewish people who have contributed so much to Western Civilization .
It is as if you despised all Italians because of the notorious Mafia .
I myself am critical of Zionist Israel but have no interest in being culturally lobotomized.
Read some of the essays on Zionism by the late professor Howard Zinn of Harvard.
Lol! You are absurd! I don't know any-one that has a passing acquaintance with FACTUAL history, and who reads what Jews write about Jews, in their in-house publications, who isn't starkly aware of the long and grotesque history of the manner in which Jews contribute NOTHING, steal the efforts and achievements of Aryans, and destroy EVERYTHING. Jews are parasites, thieves, and murderers. They are very good at hyperbole, though, until their abuses are so blatantly obvious, and the damage they wreak so horrendous, that even the thickest of skulls and dullest of brain can no longer deny what's right in front of their eyes. FYI, bubbaleh, Zionism = Judaism (a "religion" founded on monomaniacal ethnocentrism, and absolute loathing and hatred of Humanity) and Judaism = Zionism. Now get of MY country. 110 and NEVER EVER EVER again.
Islam is a totalitarian ideology, that has NOTHING to offer the West, or any-one. [it] creates stupid people, and exacerbates the natural inclinations of 80 IQ Orcs, Islam must be outlawed and PURGED, and all adherents and enablers purged. For good.
America: where you are free to be exactly the same as everyone else.
Libs have made it a policy, though everything from political correctness to cancelling conservatives' talks on campuses to Trump-hater rallies, that you are free to hold any opinion you want, so long as it's theirs.
;-)
It is my opinion that Everyone will be the same after the Muslims rape ALL children as they have promised to do. That is when we will be the same. Assimilate, or leave I say. The statement they make by adhering to their culture is death to all of you! Screw all of you! It doesn't matter if they are sitting there being quiet. They wear a sign. Have some respect for our solders. Find out how and why they are here and Get them out before it is too late.
Olivia, not sure I see your point; Muslims are here, the question is what do we do about it and how do we treat them.
In the 1950s there were different groups of minorities that were feared and discriminated against. One example that comes to my mind are the Japanese after WWII.
And they must be REMOVED. All of them.
Or black people in the "wrong" place, or gay people, derelicts, or non-conformists of every sort. It could get very narrow minded and intolerant back in those days.
"I’ve been talking to myself lately,
I’m asking for advice— slowly loosening my grip on this reality"
Great tune.
I don't recall after the marathon bombing the city of Boston putting up posters near Muslim gathering places trying to warn muslims that they should help mon muslims when they think a fellow Muslim might attack Them.
Aw look at you trying to change the subject.
Huh? Didn't the 'See Something Say Something' campaign basically do that?
Do you think that campaign would have been more effective if it was:
'See Something, Say Something.. if you are a Muslim and you think your fellow Muslim is waging Jihad'?
Yes obviously . 70 year old Scandinavian women are not threatening the western world with a holy war. Muslims are and terrorist attacks carried out by Muslim extremists are a way in which they are trying to accomplish that goal.
Just when you think you have seen it all. The left never ceases to amaze . One drunken mentally disturbed person harasses a Muslim woman and we need to blanket the T with posters on islamaphobia.truly amazing. I love it . No coincidence the attacker in the poster is white.
Yes, because the one incident you bothered noticing is the only one. You right wing people are outstanding.
One incident? Check Ramadan killings. These people hate women and you don't even care. These people hate western society get you welcome them into your home. You need to see how these people live in their own countries. Then see how they've taken to western society in Europe. Do some research on your own. These people are nothing like us and do not want to have anything to do with us.
RC, the problem is that it is not one mentally disturbed person. That type of harrassment or discrimination is fairly common, to varying degrees. Most of it certainly not rising to the degree of being reportable, but still having an impact. Note the statistic at the bottom of the article that hate crimes tripled.
Fair point about the attacker being white - though I suppose they have to make him something.
No hate crimes have not tripled reports have tripled. The number of arrests and convictions is minuscule. Many as we now know are faked.
This is mostly a fake hype job sponsored by the left,Muslim groups and its propaganda wing the msm.
Do you remember after 9/11 the media and leftist/Muslim groups going into a frenzy predicting Americans mainly white right wingers and militia groups were going to start attacking and killing muslims. I remember . What actually happened? Literally nothing one or two isolated incidents that was all. Same thing after Obama was elected. Oh my god .whites and right wing militia types will start killing blacks. Obama will have several attempts on his life. He is sure to be assasinated. There will be all sorts of racial violence committed by whites and right wingers . What happened ? Literally nothing .
There is an agenda being pushed by the media, the left and Muslim groups,and the truth has very little to do with what they are trying to sell.
It amazes me that you people believe that things you are too lazy to notice thereby do not exist. You didn't bother noticing that bias crimes increased, so you conclude that they didn't increase. Derp.
Also, you people endlessly repeat the words "left," "agenda," "Muslim." Who is telling you what to think and say?
Ok I will make it simple for you.how many people in this state have been arrested and prosecuted for committing hate crimes against muslims.
People reporting they have been a victim no longer carries merit. Way to many fake/staged hate crimes . Several in Massachusetts in the last few years. So how many arrests and prosecutions. The number is close to zero.belive what you want. I'll believe the actual crime statistics.
HILLARIOUS!!! "how to DEFUSE" - LMAO at the use of words when describing interactions with muslims. too funny!
