General Discussion

Is the subject that British Muslims are protesting at google HQ about a film they find offensive?

Is the subject about Malala (she has a fucking name, folks. Use it.) being shot in Pakistan?

Neither!

The subject is that alp227 is exploiting the attack on Malala Yousafzai, in an effort to condemn people a quarter of the world away from her who happen to share the basics of a faith with the men who attacked her. The "subject" presented is that Muslims everywhere are all to be held responsible for the actions of Muslims somewhere else. How dare those British Muslims be protesting something htey find protest-worthy! Those fucking scumbags should be protesting what alp227 demands they protest... Because he has the entitlement to make such a demand of them.

So... where is alp227's condemnation, his protest, his outrage? Well... it's not there. All Malala is to him is a tool to use and throw away in his pointless, and frankly bigoted "condemnation" of people living far away from her situation.

"Gasp!" I hear you say, "bigoted?! How dare you call someone bigoted!"

Because imagine the same argument thrown against say... black people. Such as this old favorite (read it in Pat Buchanan's voice for the full effect)
"Why the heck are black people protesting disenfranchisement / police brutality / a blackface comedy act? They should be protesting black-on-black violence! Stupid black people!"

And now, in alp227's voice:
"Why the heck are Muslims protesting a film they find offensive? They should be protesting the near-killing of this pakistani girl!"

Or Mitt Romney's voice;
"Why the heck are all these poor people protesting the so-called '1%'? They should be focusing on how to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, like I did!"

etc., etc.

Assumed privilege over others; something you clearly stand tall in favor of, leftynyc. Don't ever fucking lump me as being on "your side" again, kay? Bad words will be exchanged.
