I'm aware that most Muslims just want a quiet life, and leftists like Kyle may be deliberately inculcating Islamaphobia for their own agenda. I mean, why go to an Australian suburb and threaten them with a giant mosque "to reveal their prejudice"? What that actually does is create the very emotion it's supposed to reveal.
Those weren't leftists, they were comedians. Comedians create comedy by revealing the human absurdity of people. For example, the absurdity that someone dressed as an Arab is a "security risk" but someone dressed as a white American tourist is not -
so it seems. I guess those silly terrorists would never think of dressing like American tourists.
In this case, the absurdity is, "I'm not racist, but -" and of course, as with everything else, we know that everything before the "but" is bullshit.
The bigotry is already there. Australia has Moslems in the country, and we have freedom of religion, therefore the mosques must be built
somewhere. If the comedians don't bring it up in that suburb, people will seriously bring it up in another suburb.
So what you're really saying is that people wanting to build mosques creates bigotry against Islam. Which is like saying that homosexuals actually having homosexual relationships creates homophobia, Jews wearing yarmulkes creates antisemitism, women speaking creates misogyny, and African-Americans playing rap music creates racism.
Horseshit. The bigotry was already there. Turning over the stone just reveals the slime living underneath, it doesn't create it. In fact the slime dies when exposed to the light and heat of scrutiny. Everyone who showed up on that tv clip, now that they realise a good part of the country is laughing at them, is going to be rethinking what they choose to say out loud; and opinions unexpressed don't last long, or at the least can't be passed on.
It's a common tactic of the bigot to blame the victim of their bigotry and those defending the victims for their bigotry. "I'm not racist, but -"
No, you
are racist. And your bigotry is
your fault.
