The Alt-Right has everything to do with this. The purpose of this story is to dehumanize Muslims.
Blaming the Muslims for a mosque shooting that left several Muslims dead is straight from the Alt-Right playbook. Any portrayal of Muslims as human beings (let alone as victims of terrorism) goes against their narrative.
That is why people are spreading these awful stories... and why people are willing to accept them.
I assume that you, McGentrix, can admit that Muslims are human beings and that Muslims are being targeted for hate crimes.
It would sure be nice to hear you say so.
You've got me confused. The lead article is a "what if" scenario and has nothing to do with actual events. The purpose of the story was to ask "what if the terrorists were plated to make Trump look bad" so the "terrorist" would have been hired by "anti-Trump" people.
I am not blaming anyone for this with the exception of the guy that has been arrested and charged with the crime. I, like a normal person, will wait for the investigation to run its course and let us know what actually happened.
Of course Muslim's are people and innocent people of any race, religion, sexual preference or whatever should never be targeted for any crime. Do I really need to express that?
Shouldn't that just be assumed?
