No im not basing my opinion soley off of that incident..that was just an EXAMPLE of MANY incidents involving white hate against us
show me some cases of whites committing hate crimes towards muslims IN THE US that can compare to what we have dealt with for centuries here
I ain't disputing any of that at all.
There has been a legacy of White hate against the community, and it continues to a degree. The bulk of Black history is unlike anything Muslims will ever face here.
But that's a much longer history involving a much larger slice of the population, and that has nothing to do with some idea that White people in 2015 are just too afraid of Muslims to do anything.
Racist mass murders against anyone don't occur very often anymore. When they do occur, they're just as likely to be done against a Sihk temple or a Muslim family as they are against a Black church.
Fear
causes White people to hate Black people. If little rednecked mama's boys in the south weren't so terrified of Black men, they wouldn't hate them so much. Hate attacks aren't beating up on the weak, they compensating for their own feelings of inadequacy.
Muslims face fear and hate too, but most of the rednecks and racists never even see a Muslim on a daily basis.
When they do, shyt goes down sometimes. My friends' dad was an immigrant from Egypt, shot down in cold blood in his store by three White dudes, just for running an Arabic store (he was actually Christian, but those ignorant thugs didn't know that). They did it just because 9/11 was a week earlier and they had some mad fear/hate against all Arab people that they needed to let off.
I just think it's dumb to suggest that the widespread fear of Muslims among White people is what keeps Muslims "safe". If White Americans didn't fear Muslims, then they'd basically just be more Jews to them.
