"There is a new racist dogma that is taking hold in this country that if allowed to fester any further will result in the greater marginalization of minority groups and increase the prevalent atmosphere of fear and mistrust. The most glaring manifestation of this phenomenon is the unbalanced and intellectually impoverished discourse about Islam and American Muslims.
America's last accepted form of racism tolerates statements about Muslims that would be unacceptable if referring to other groups. In this paradigm multiculturalism is a threat to the foundations of democracy and those voices who espouse a contrary view are opposed to freedom of speech. The great American melting pot is conspicuously thrown to the wayside.

Leftists are supposed to believe in "root causes" (though the only root cause they ever seem to mention is their all-purpose explanation: "poverty") so maybe Mr Akbar might ask himself what the root cause of adverse statements about Muslims could be. It wouldn't be the constant vicious deeds of Muslims worldwide (like this) would it? And I guess it was Baptists who flew those planes into two New York skyscrapers.
As black writer Bob Parks said a little while ago:
"Tell you what, I'll say to some of these Muslims the same thing I've said to some black people. If you want the negative stigma to go away, BEHAVE YOURSELVES! Intimidating people is a choice. Blowing people up is a choice. It is not a calling. When it becomes one, that gives us the situation we have now. Pointing that out is not racist. Calling it such is."
The total cynicism of the protests against "Islamophobia" really is breathtaking. If law-abiding and peaceful Muslims are really upset, they should be directing their condemnation towards their fellow Muslims who do the vile deeds that bring Islam into disrepute -- as these guys did..
