All Over the Right Wing Media Sites, Commenters Calling for Genocide of Muslims

Extreme hatefest under way
Wingnuts • Views: 32,823

In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo terror attack, anti-Muslim ranting at right wing blogs has reached an insane feverish pitch, totally out of control, and not a single blogger or commenter is denouncing it. It’s off the scale; I’ve never seen it worse than this.

For example, at Breitbart “News,” whose editor John Nolte was recently invited on Meet the Press, they’ve posted a video of Ralph Peters on Fox News calling for the Muslim world to be reduced to “smoking ruins and crying widows,” and it led to an outpouring of incredibly vicious comments calling for genocide; at last count, 4,342 of them.

Ralph Peters: US Must ‘Leave Behind Smoking Ruins and Crying Widows’ Fighting Terrorism - Breitbart

There’s so much of this stuff it’s impossible (not to mention absolutely sickening) to look through it all, but here are some of the most recent comments, hidden by default because they’re unbelievably horrific.

[…]

the medieval savages need to be destroyed.

[…]

Well said !!! Extermination of scum Muslim terrorist needs to being NOW !!! Feed so called prophet muhammad to the pigs

[…]

We need to treat the Muslims the way we treated American Indians back in the 1800’s. Col. Peters ideas sound good, but Col. Chivington’s ideas seem better.

[…]

Three simple words. Kill. Them. All.

[…]

I wish the CIA would engineer a ‘bug’ which, after caught by Muslims as an STD by donkey and goat secks, causes all their body hair to fall off.

[…]

Bring out the giant can of Raid!!!

[…]

Repeated Arc-Light missions deploying Neutron ordnance from Pakistan to Morrocco. Followed up by “bugs”

[…]

the colonel is right, we need to start bombing them back to the stone age. Yemen needs to be obliterated and then we take out the boko haram

[…]

As there are more Muslims than legal citizens in the US, offing everyone isn’t in reality possible. Given that this tit for tat will continue until mankind becomes extinct.

[…]

unpopular controversial opinion ahead….

but dont leave behind widows or kids.. these people will continue the goals of their dead husbands and fathers. they all must die.

[…]

LOL. KILL ‘EM ALL
ALL OF ‘EM
MEN WOMEN CHILDREN
ALL OF ‘EM

I like him………..he sounds like me……

[…]

Obama is a Muslim and wants to turn the USA into a south-american toilet. So fat chance implementing all these great ideas.

[…]

I’d much prefer to see Islamic genocide than American genocide. The islamist will never ever stop trying to take over the world and demand that every living breathing human pray to Allah. Eff that. If the islamists snatched you like they did James Foley and so many others, you would change your tune really quick especially as you see the knife headed for your throat.

This isn’t unique to Breitbart “News.” You’ll find this hate speech all over the right wing sites today; it’s their business model to incite it.

yeah let’s be like what we hate. Great message American right wing. You were 100% right Charles. These guys are the mirror image of what they hate and that’s not an accident. The Islamists see this as jihad and the Western radical right sees this as a continuation of the Crusades.

What’s even more sickening is that far-right individuals like Geert Wilders are seeing a bit of a resurgence:

Paris attacks boost support for Dutch anti-Islam populist Wilders

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Support for the anti-Islamic Freedom Party of Dutch populist Geert Wilders has jumped to its highest level in more than a year after the Islamist militant attacks in Paris.

Wilders, known for his inflammatory rhetoric, said after the Paris bloodshed that the West was “at war” with Islam, drawing a rebuke from Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Sunday.

If elections were held now, his party would be the single largest in the Netherlands, with 31 seats in the 150-member parliament, more than twice as many as it won in the last elections, according to a Sunday poll.

The governing Liberal and Labour parties, damaged by persistent sluggish growth, would have just 28 seats between them, compared to the 79 they held after the 2012 elections.

The Freedom Party was polling 30 seats just prior to the Jan. 7-9 Paris attacks, in which 17 people including journalists and policemen were killed by three Islamist gunmen who were later shot dead by French special forces.

Wilders this week called in an interview for measures against Islam: “If we don’t do anything, it will happen here,” he was quoted by the newspaper Het Parool as saying.

However, I have a serious problem with the label “populist” the article uses to describe Wilders. Describe him by exactly what he is - a white nationalist fascist.

I really do not understand the anger in this place. We (liberals) control the media, academia and the popular culture. Ultimately, we are going to make sure the Republican party will never be viable. Demographic changes and the blue wall we have in the electoral college ensures that a permanent Presidential majority, unfortunately not a senatorial, house or gubernatorial majority.

I know I was kind of hard on you yesterday, but please understand that I knew the shit you’re seeing today was coming. What makes it even worse is knowing there’s an entire industry dedicated to promoting & maintaining the anti-Muslim fear & hatred. This is something I deal with seeing every single day, even if I try to avoid it. To make matters worse, I’m utterly powerless to do anything to change the behavior of the people whose bad actions are blowing back on me and other Muslims. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Blacks & Jews will know what I’m talking about because they face the same thing daily. I think Black people probably have it worse than anyone—most Jews & Muslims are identifiable as such primarily by their clothing, so if things got really horrible most could probably “pass” and blend in as white or hispanic (Christians). Black people don’t have that option—I can’t even begin to express how much I think it sucks that “passing” even needs to be considered an option.

Anyway, I accept your explanation & apology from yesterday and will try not to fly off the handle and be so harsh next time.

I appreciate it CL.

All I was trying to say was what could be done so that the whole Muslim world could further fight off that perception it is ALL Muslims that support and accept terror. That is why I referenced the Murdoch and Maher bullshit.

My suggestion was kick some ass. Just a chant…and illogical. But this whole thing is illogical. Finding a way to fight it logically…well still searching for answers.

I want at the very least a war on the gross generalization. I think it too is key in the war on terrorism. Education is always good in war. And if more and more people learn of the real huge distinctions between a religion’s good followers and their radical/militant fringe and learn it is not ALL Muslims, then it hurts the terrorists too.

I don’t see anyone really trying anything as basic as that. Everyone just uses it for their own stances and gains.

If for no other reason than that these takfiri groups are specifically trying to construct a narrative in which they are the only representatives of Islam, and their opponents are the Evil Christian/Jewish/Secular amalgam. Indeed, the reason they kill so many Muslims is precisely to maintain that “shut up, we are the True religion” stance.

In propaganda, just like a physical battle, you don’t let the opponent choose the field of contest. These Islamic terrorists want us to echo their worldview; they want reciprocal hate, they want absolutist, eliminationist talk. They want a “West” that mistrusts Muslims, that discards freedoms or applies them unequally, because their assertion is that it’s all surface-deep…that we’re really still Crusaders and colonialists.

Heh, indeed. Yesterday I was reading this article by an ACLU lawyer about the dust-up in Kennsaw, GA over zoning for a new prayer center/mosque in a retail shopping center. RLUIPA (Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act) is what keeps tripping up these cities & towns trying to use zoning laws to keep Muslims out. It kinda makes me chuckle because it was passed back in 2000 by unanimous consent in both houses.

I’m guessing the GOP is probably kicking itself over that now. I’m pretty well convinced it was another case of the religious right failing to see the unintended consequences. Sorta like that state GOP rep in Louisiana who was horrified when she realized the school vouchers she was in favor of could also be used for Islamic schools.

re: #101 CuriousLurker

I know I was kind of hard on you yesterday, but please understand that I knew the shit you’re seeing today was coming. What makes it even worse is knowing there’s an entire industry dedicated to promoting & maintaining the anti-Muslim fear & hatred. This is something I deal with seeing every single day, even if I try to avoid it. To make matters worse, I’m utterly powerless to do anything to change the behavior of the people whose bad actions are blowing back on me and other Muslims. It’s incredibly frustrating.
.

One of the reasons I have become taken with trying to talk about how Jesus taught people to live rather than how to believe is hiding here. My own faith has made a hash out of our day-to-day ethics by it’s idiotic presumption from the Reformation that faith alone will suffice. Sola Fide combined with the literal view of scripture that sola scriptura commonly inspires has created a Christianity that is utterly divorced from the daily tasks of living right - of doing onto others as we would have done to us and not doing to others as we would not have them do to us. Faith without living right - “works” - is a dead thing.

Heh was thinking the same. Wonder if he knows Lombardi was a huge liberal too.

I recall reading in a couple of books that Nixon looked into Lombardi as a possible vp running mate, albeit not very seriously, until a background check showed that Vince was a yellow dog Democrat.

Yeah. What impressed me even more than his very ahead for his time views on race was that he was tolerant towards gay players as well.

Yeah found out about it on the HBO docu I believe. He really was a great guy. Really reminds me of my grandfather in some ways. They were the same age and strongly influenced for the better by Catholicism.

His working class Catholic background might also have had something to do with how and why he put up with Fuzzy Thurston’s habitual vodka swilling during games. ;-)

Can we call it or can we call it?

Probably. But maybe the contributions are meant to be ‘funny’ just as the French cartoons were. In any case, re-reading them leaves me uncertain.

Dear Lord, if the right-wing fundies running around claiming ‘je suis Charlie’ right now had ever read some of the truly vile things that paper printed about Christianity AND Islam, they’d be backpedaling so fast there would be skid marks.

As I think this is horrific, I noticed this: He went on to say that the entire population of Birmingham, England had been taken over by Muslims and the police enforced Sharia law. Now, he said THIS on FOX. When proven absolutely, irrefutably wrong…he apologized on Huffington Post. I’m sure that the FOX viewers will see that (the overlap of viewership is probably HUGE!)

Steven Emerson has always been known to peddle bullshit since the days of the first WTC bombing in ‘93. Nothing new here.
