Andrew Belonsky doesn't think whites can be Muslims, or something like that
Once again, moonbat Andrew Belonsky is determined to attack conservatives as nearsighted in his take on the case of 4 "probably white Americans" who were arrested in Georgia for plotting to attack government buildings with ricin. Among the things he says:
Remarking on the case, U.S. Attorney Sally Yates reminded Americans that while we’re often focused on international extremists, we must “remain vigilant in protecting our country from citizens within our borders who threaten our safety and security.”Oh that's just classic. First, nobody with a head on their shoulders thinks even today, terrorism is exclusively Muslim. But just how can't homegrown terror possibly be Islamic? Clearly, he doesn't want anybody to know about Jamaat al-Fuqra. And, he clearly wants one and all to forget about Jose Padilla, mentioned here, and even Anwar al-Awlaki. And since when was "militia" excluded to only "whites"? The Black Panthers weren't a militia?
She’s totally right: despite what some on the right would like you to believe, homegrown terrorism is a very real threat here — and I’m not talking about Muslim Americans, either.
The headline here says the men are “probably white,” an assumption I find fair for a few reasons. First, militias are made up primarily of white Americans. (And, as my roommate remarked, if the men were of color, they would be referred to as a gang — that’s just how media and law enforcement would phrase it.)
Belonsky goes on to say:
I am therefore confident that my racial assumption will be proven correct, a detail that helps erode the tedious myth that all terrorists, even homegrown terrorists, are Muslim.What myth are we talking about here exactly? Nobody with common sense thinks it's impossible for non-Muslims to engage in terrorist actions. Why, just look at where the Occupy movement's ended up now.
While some homegrown terrorists have been Muslim — the Fort Hood suspects Nidal Malik Hasan and Naser Jason Abdo, as well as the Seattle converts accused of conspiring against the nation earlier this year, for example — there are have without a doubt been Caucasian terrorists from the States. Jihad Jane comes to mind, as does the White Supremacist couple arrested in 2002 for their scheme to attack black and Jewish Americans. The Hutaree Christian Militia also hailed from — and planned to strike — the United States.One can see how Belonsky's trying to turn this into an anti-conservative screed. He clearly doesn't realize that he's just cited Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose, herself a Muslim convert, and a leading example of a homegrown terrorist in her own way. That's why, as Belonsky said, you never know when it'll strike or who's behind it. Thus, his racial assumption has been proven incorrect.
Some conservatives want the American people to see a governmental agenda targeting white people — that explains the right wing outrage over Homeland Security’s 2010 warnings about lone wolves and militias — but this case shows, once again, that terrorists come in all shapes, colors and creeds. That’s why terrorism is such an effective tactic: you never know when it will strike, or who may be behind it.
One can now only wonder how the ultra-right will try to spin this into yet another anti-Muslim yarn.
