Unchecked hate speech fuels Islamophobia in China

Soon a pig’s head was buried at the site of the future Nangang mosque, the culmination of a protest by dozens of residents. Then the mosque’s imam received a threatening text: “In case someone in your family dies, I have a coffin for you - and more than one, if necessary.”

“How did things get stirred up to this point?” the imam, Tao Yingsheng, said. “Who had even heard of the Nangang mosque before?”

The bitter fight over a mosque exemplifies how a surge in anti-Muslim sentiment online is spreading into communities across the country, exacerbating simmering ethnic and religious tensions that have led to bloodshed in the past. It is also posing a dilemma for the ruling Communist Party, which has allowed Islamophobia to fester online for years as part of its campaign to justify security crackdowns in its restive region of Xinjiang.

“It’s let the genie out of the bottle,” said James Leibold, a professor at La Trobe University in Australia who has tracked the growth of anti-Muslim hate speech on China’s internet.

Who says that a strongman can keep tensions in check?

History is littered with strongmen who thought they could keep the tensions they enflamed in check.

The Chinese Communist Party thought the anti-Islamic rhetoric would have been limited to the Uighurs. But as history shows, it can grow and metastasize itself into deadly ways, as they are now seeing it affect the otherwise loyal Hui community.

I’m guessing the CCP’s relationship with religion in general isn’t great. Which is probably another argument in favor of secular government rather than any sort of doctrainian form of government (for lack of a better term)

That certainly seems to be a common theme among many who regret their vote; there are also those closer to the Ron Paul wing of the party who hate foreign entanglements of any kind and who saw Trump as a kindred spirit; Hillary was the warmonger. They began losing their enthusiasm when Trump proposed the huge increase in defense spending and nothing he has done since has pleased them.

The Party tolerates state-approved religious houses of worship. It rejects the legitimacy of the Dalai Lama as head of Tibetan government, and has installed its own “Dalai Lama” as head of the state- approved Tibetan Buddhism. It recently passed a set of restrictive laws aimed at “de-extremifying” XInjiang, where many Uighur Muslims live.

What is it about FLG that the Party has trouble with? I have read that Russia is cracking down on Jehovah’s Witnesses. (They are not banned in Germany, but are denied the status as a religious organization).

Falun Gong is independent of the Party and state, which the government dislikes. Plus, FLG practitioners held a mass demonstration in 1999 or so, which scared the bejesus out of the Party. They don’t want another Tian’anmen movement, so they swiftly put the movement down as a subversive group.

I wasn’t surprised to see many of the usual cast of characters defend the airline, blame the customer, claim that “we all know the rules, we all know the risks” etc.

But as someone who doesn’t fly much, this mentality seems pretty odd to me. You mean, I should know that in buying a ticket I might not get to actually ride on the plane, or that even after being seated, I can be arbitrarily ejected?

And apparently we should also know that its common practice for airlines to overbook and we should all be prepared to endure the inconvenience of that business policy so we can reap the rewards of the low prices and….oh wait.

See, that’s the brilliance of United’s initial excuse-making, that they blamed it on an overbooking so they could portray this guy as acting out in an unreasonable fashion because we’re all too familiar with the concept of overbooking. Meanwhile, the CEO has already sent out a letter (which the media has since published) that shows they know it wasn’t an overbooking, it was deciding that providing seats for four of their employees was not worth whatever it would have cost to get “volunteers” to take a voucher and a later flight. So that, when this whole mess is eventually resolved, United will maintain that they were always the victim of an “unruly” passenger.

At this point, they have no line of retreat except straight ahead…so they will try to portray the passenger as unruly and uncooperative and are probably researching his personal history right now to find some sort of evidence to back this up.

The most damning evidence against them is the video, so look for them to try to discredit the video by insisting that its shown out of context and he did or said something prior to the video’s start that warranted the violence.

This concept is one of many why high speed rail will not move forward in the USA without the feds pushing hard for it. The airlines would cry bloody murder. Here in China, the domestic airlines were not keen on the high speed rail lines competing with their service — the rail tickets are usually less than air tickets — but HSR is a major government project, so the airlines just quietly lowered their fares to remain competitive.

Now the government here wants to build a shitload more airports, perhaps to mollify the airlines. Trouble is, commercial air space over China is tightly controlled and limited by the military. So, all those extra airports would be a waste of money if the planes can’t fly to them in a timely manner, or at all.

Right now, I can take a 90-minute bus ride to Huaihua and hop HSR to Shanghai for less than $100. The 1,465 km (915 mi) trip would take just over 7 hours. Flying is not especially faster, since the airports are further from the city center than the rail stations.

Someone commented at the Courier-Journal that he was sitting behind the doctor, and also recorded the incident. As it is, there were enough eyewitnesses to the entire affair that United and the cops would have a hard time in court defending their actions.

And few people seem to realize that a doctor with patients in Louisville probably has a very good reason not to wait for the next flight.

heavy.com has the low down on the man pulled from the plane, citing the Courier-Journal and other sources. He’s a doctor in Elizabethtown, which is about 45 minutes south of Louisville. I got relatives there.

Dao faced some serious drug charges in 2005 for allegedly improperly prescribing painkillers. wave3.com At the time, he was 57 years old.

AFAIK, he kept his medical license and is still practicing.

I dug a little deeper. The state medical board rescinded his medical license, but after he served his sentence on the drug charges, got retrained for some gaps in his medical knowledge, and got treatment for PTSD, his license was reinstated last year on a probationary basis.

The most damning evidence against them is the video, so look for them to try to discredit the video by insisting that its shown out of context and he did or said something prior to the video’s start that warranted the violence.

They can try all they want to blame it on the passenger. Too late. The internet has already rendered a decision. United screwed up huge, they tried to blame the passenger and nothing since has made them look good.

I wonder how long the head of United is going to be the head of United?

re: #63 A Mom Anon

I’d like to know why overbooking flights is legal in the first fucking place. In a country that made any damned sense, this crap wouldn’t even be allowed.

Supposedly, a certain percentage of ticketed passengers don’t show up for their flights, so the airlines — always eager to fill every damned seat — deliberately overbook flights to ensure the planes are full. That’s why there are standby passengers — those few souls who are banking on someone not showing up for a flight.

I don’t object to overbooking if the airline is willing to accept responsibility when all the ticketed passengers show up, and can offer them some compensation for the inconvenience. A hotel stay, a travel voucher, something to mollify the legitimately irate passenger.

But this was not an overbooking incident, despite what United and the press reports say. United wanted passengers to give their seats up for United employees who needed to get to Louisville for duty. IOW, all the passengers in the plane were paying customers who were being asked to allow UAL employees to fly for free. And when that one guy refused, the airline went way overboard in making sure everyone knew who was the boss.

In the end, it would have cheaper to send the employees on another airline or even send them by car to Louisville. It’s just a six- or seven-hour drive from O’Hare.

re: #51 wheat-dogg

heavy.com has the low down on the man pulled from the plane, citing the Courier-Journal and other sources. He’s a doctor in Elizabethtown, which is about 45 minutes south of Louisville. I got relatives there.

Dao faced some serious drug charges in 2005 for allegedly improperly prescribing painkillers. wave3.com At the time, he was 57 years old.

AFAIK, he kept his medical license and is still practicing.

I dug a little deeper. The state medical board rescinded his medical license, but after he served his sentence on the drug charges, got retrained for some gaps in his medical knowledge, and got treatment for PTSD, his license was reinstated last year on a probationary basis.

Now take it with a grain of salt, but still this is a pretty shitty situation that they’ve created for themselves. Whoever that manager was that laughed at the suggestion of offering $1600 probably isn’t laughing now.

We’re you aware that the contract you enter into to be treated like a rabid dog by an airline gives them the right to throw you off of their plane just because they want to, say because a Kardashian wants your seat?

I wasn’t and flying will now be a last choice option for me.

My only point was to be accurate in describing him as a doctor in E-town. He is, and was, but the salacious points are bound to come out sooner or later. I was not suggesting his past offers UAL or the cops any reasons to assault him and remove him by force from the plane. He said he had patients to care for. They should have taken him at his word, and found some more humane way to deal with their own self-inflicted problem.

An interesting point in his background is the PTSD.

Watching that video taken after he got back on the plane (and I’ll never understand how they let that happen), when he was running up and down the aisle repeating ‘I have to get back home,’ it sure looks as though they triggered the fuck out of the poor guy.

Agreed about the maze. I’ll probably re listed at some point. I listened to the whole of the series in less than 24 hours.

It in some ways was a good reminder to me that people are complicated and a warning against stereotypes—until suddenly one of those complicated people reconfirms the stereotypes.

I am really quite offended anyone is thinking I had some ulterior motive in bringing up his past. I’m a former reporter. I was reporting facts. That’s all.

I just want to make sure we don’t change the subject from United to this guy’s past. And, as it’s been talked about here before, our “objectivity” can be colored by our experience or lack thereof. Would it not have been better just to say that he is a doctor?

An interesting point in his background is the PTSD.

Watching that video taken after he got back on the plane (and I’ll never understand how they let that happen), when he was running up and down the aisle repeating ‘I have to get back home,’ it sure looks as though they triggered the fuck out of the poor guy.

I hope he takes United to court, and refuses a settlement. I’d like to hear United’s reasons for choosing him and not some other person on the plane for removal. Plaintiffs would be entitled to discovery.

Per United, when an “overbooked” flight gets to that point, their computer system supposedly chooses people at random to boot; however, given United’s appalling customer service, I’ll bet it’s not exactly “random” at all.

re: #99 Birth Control Works

What about men? Lies, statistics … and peddling myths about violence against women

hmmm, while I also think there is as much violence with women as the abusers as men. First because men are even less likely to report, but more because the stats from the military on Sexual Assault show the genders are even.

The Cycle of Violence definitely takes two —yet, words are not fists.

Please read this and weigh in lizards.

Those arguments are annoying: “It’s happening to men to.” And? We can tackle all of it. People shouldn’t use that as an excuse to do nothing.

re: #76 A Mom Anon

Doesn’t have a thing to do with how he was treated. He wasn’t doing anything wrong when this happened to him. The police also completely overreacted to this too, but that seems to be another problem that compounds many other problems we face.

I saw someone yesterday mention how all of these videos over the years show how the police go from nothing to violence with no in between. And when you think about it, it is true.

We have a Columbus policeman on leave now and being investigated for excessive force.

Iframe

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — The Columbus police officer who was seen on video kicking a suspect in the head Saturday morning was identified as one of the officers involved in the shooting death of Henry Green last year.

According to Columbus police, Officer Zachary Rosen is under investigation for the incident that took place on April 8. Officer Rosen has been reassigned to non-patrol duty indefinitely.

Rosen was one of two officers involved in the June, 2016 shooting death of Henry Green. A grand jury recently declined to indict Rosen and Officer Jason Bare for that shooting.

The incident started Saturday along the 3100 block of Maize Road. Columbus police officers were investigating a report of a man threatening to “shoot up the house and everyone in it,” according to a police report.

According to court documents, police chased the suspect south from the home on Maize Road. Officers caught up with him in the 800 block of Weldon Avenue.

Video posted to YouTube by Roiesha Pettiford shows a portion of the arrest. The suspect, Demarko Anderson, appears to be on the ground with an officer on top of him. Another officer comes from outside of the frame and kicks Anderson in the face.

After the kick, Anderson is heard on the video demanding to speak to a supervisor.

Social justice advocate Kanyinsola Oye said she believes the officer used excessive force.

“The guy was on the ground already. He already had restraints on him. What is the point of continuing to stomp him out on his face? What was the point of that? There is no need. You already got him down. He can’t move. He can’t do anything else,” she said. “That seems more like a fight like you’re trying to hurt someone, to me.”

According to police, Rosen involved self-reported kicking Anderson.

Anderson was arrested and charged with aggravated menacing, resisting arrest, obstructing official business, having weapons under disability and possession of controlled substances.

Columbus police released the following statement on the incident:

Based on what we see in the video taken on Saturday April 8, 2017, the action taken by one of our officers does not meet the standards by the Columbus Division of Police. It appears to be inconsistent with the values and training we instill in our officers.

The officer self-reported a kick to the suspect while the suspect was in custody.

We’ll learn more as the investigation continues and take appropriate actions based on the facts gathered.

The officer has been temporarily reassigned

Sure it has gone on before. I just have a feeling it now is going to be going on a lot more.

Add Jeff Sessions looking into stripping some of the policies Obama and Holder put in place to get Police cleaned up and big signals are being sent. Also, we all say how Police have become more and more militaristic and bad stuff lies ahead.

I did not go searching into Dao’s past to find shit about him. And if anyone is suggesting I did, they can pipe down right about now. I wanted to confirm that Dao is a doctor in E-town where I have relatives. Along the way, I found about his troubles with the law and the medical board. So, should I have omitted that information here, and just said he was a doctor? It’s only a matter of time before the Louisville media positively identify the guy and bring up prior news stories about him.

I am really quite offended anyone is thinking I had some ulterior motive in bringing up his past. I’m a former reporter. I was reporting facts. That’s all.

Yeah, since Social Security and Medicare could be severely cut millions of elderly people will be looking for work to get by.

Just think, they will feel more a part of everything and this will keep them living longer.

And poorer families will be putting kids that are able to provide some form of labor to work along with both mom and dad so the family can be a part of the American fabric and feel good about themselves instead of being takers.

Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Syria was influenced by his daughter, Ivanka, being “heartbroken and outraged” at the country’s alleged chemical weapons attack, one of the president’s sons told a British newspaper.

The president launched 59 cruise missiles at a Syrian government air base he alleged was involved in a chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of civilians last week.

Trump’s 33-year-old son, Eric, told The Daily Telegraph on Monday that the strike was influenced in part by Ivanka, who he said was “heartbroken and outraged” by the chemical attack.

Edited from a post I made elsewhere about the physician beaten by goons from United:

As a reminder, an airline must under nearly all circumstances on domestic flights or international flights starting or ending in the USA, offer you CASH compensation if you are involuntarily bumped, usually many times the price of your full one-way trip, if you are delayed over an hour. Unsurprisingly, airlines won’t tell you this. The law can be found at the Department of Transportation, with the compensation amounts. You have no reason to take restricted vouchers or insignificant numbers of “air miles.”

transportation.gov

(about one-third of the way down the page - read this and be familiar with your rights as an air passenger under the law)

The rules are too long to post here, but generally you are owed CASH compensation if you are delayed by a bump more than an hour.

The airline is permitted to seek volunteers and compensate them however they wish, but if there are not enough volunteers they “must” follow the law. All the authoritarian apologists all over social media today are ignoring what United is required to do by the Transportation Department.

He should sue. The law is clear and United was in violation of it (aside from the assault and battery).

Beating a passenger for not complying with a voluntary call and dragging him off a plane is not one of the compensatory measures outlined by the Department of Transportation.

Any alleged run-ins with the law do not have any bearing on how he was treated by United.

The “he’s no angel” argument is disgusting. Even if he was a criminal on probation he did not deserve that treatment (and the Transportation Department rules for compensation and bumping I posted above would still apply).

From your link:

Involuntary Bumping

DOT requires each airline to give all passengers who are bumped involuntarily a written statement describing their rights and explaining how the carrier decides who gets on an oversold flight and who doesn’t. Those travelers who don’t get to fly are frequently entitled to denied boarding compensation in the form of a check or cash.

Actually, out of that list, I would say Iran is the least failing of the group.

Probably, but since Iran is one of the Trump Administration’s Designated Boogeyman Enemies (tm), the place could be a Utopia of peace and prosperity, and the Admin’s shills would still make it out to be Hell.

Washington Post: Tillerson brings tough line to Moscow over Russia’s backing for Syrian regime

Oh goody.. because Tillerson is helping not only his buddy Putin make money by destabilizing global markets (IE oil future went up) and helping his former employer Exxon. Please tell me again how the former oil CEO was installed as the SoS.

We be screwed.

I think goddamnedfrank had it right yesterday. Here’s how it plays out:

1. Tillerson goes to Russia, makes big show of how Russia is on the ‘wrong side of history.’
2. Russia ‘sees the error of its ways,’ throws Assad under the bus.
3. US and Russia, as ‘allies,’ invade Syria and take the oil.
4. Profit.

re: #272 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

that was a pointless question, and no, it is not a federal case.

Of course it’s federal. Almost all flights, and certainly all airlines, cross plenty of state lines.

Actually, yes it is (or, at least, it should be, were we not talking about the Trump administration with AG Foghorn Leghorn)…
