"Coffee black -- with cream..."

Jihad Watch the other day reported an undercover operation, so to speak, conducted by a mainstream UK TV station, whereby they sent a white Englishwoman out into a Muslim neighborhood to learn what it's like to be a Muslim.  In order to facilitate the cover, they tinted her skin brown and added a prosthetic to make her nose look bigger (and of course added a hijab head covering).

I note that only two of the Jihad Watch comments even advert to this aspect of the story, which not only was headlined in the Jihad Watch report, but is also arguably the #1 reason why the PC MC-dominated West continues to placate Muslims, rather than condemn them for their Islam.

While those two Civilians in the Counter-Jihad at least noticed this most important factor, they seemed unduly surprised by it, as though it's not massively dominant throughout the West.

Similarly, a long-time Jihad Watch regular, "Angemon" (whom I dub the "Energizer Bunny" of the Counter-Jihad and member of the "Rabbit Pack" of Jihad Watch regulars) many moons ago seemed strangely incognizant of this factor, and added that to his long list of reasons to pester me in Jihad Watch comments incessantly for months if not years.

Thus, a typical complain I lodged there (under the nickname "voegelinian") two years ago:

“As for l’Andele, a few friends and I created it in 2014 after we saw that many of our fellow countrymen had to answer for their freedom of speech in the courts, on fallacious charges, often as a result of complaints from so-called “anti-racist” associations that are largely subsidized and politicized.”

This is like the 500 fucking thousandth example over the years of how the PC MC mainstream racializes the problem of Islam — and still Angemon doesn’t get it, and pesters me for calling attention to it. And then his friends here have the gall to chide me, instead of him for his egregious lacuna with regard to this massive, and important aspect of the Problem of the Problem (the problem, that is, of Western myopia to the problem of Islam, and resistance if not hostility to those who are calling attention to that problem)..

And I added:

And here’s the 499,000th example I came across recently — in the words of Sam Harris during his recent conversation with Muslim“Reformer” Maajid Nawaz at the Kennedy Forum at Harvard University. The context of Sam Harris’s words at this point was his complaint about the problem of what he calls “pseudo-liberalism” (by which he means what others casually call “liberalism” or “political correctness” – or what I mean by “PC MC”) — and how, as he rightly notes, we can criticize Christianity all day long, but –
“…the moment you try to shine a light on the problem of… Islamism…the full armamentarium of political correctness and… cries of racism just hits you full in the face…”

But I guess on this point, Angemon knows better than Sam Harris, eh?

The reader can go to that thread (beginning here) to see how Angemon responded, in multiple, lengthy hit-pieces against me; and how another of the Rabbit Pack, "gravenimage", did nothing to assist me.

That wasn't the only time Angemon showed a strange incomprehension for the problem of the mainstream racialization of Islam.  As I wrote in another Jihad Watch thread a few months later that year:

[quoting the article at that time] “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.”

And Angemon asks me where I get my notion that the PC MC mainstream West racializes the issue of the problem of Islam. Um, duh, from countless stories like this reported at Jihad Watch over the years.

Again, the reader can go to that thread to see how Angemon spun his maddening sophistry in response.

Finally (for now), perhaps the most direct example of Angemon's odd inability to grasp this point occurred a month later that same year:

Quoting me —

“2) Muslims are perceived to be a Brown People”

— Angemon typed:

“Maybe by you. Not by regular people.”

I don’t know what Angemon means by “regular people”. If he means the majority of Westerners, the he is woefully ignorant of the mass sociopolitical, cultural, psychological phenomenon of PC MC, which precisely racializes the problem of Islam the way I described.

Again -- if the reader has the stomach to tolerate it -- read the thread to see how Angemon uses sophistry to .... to do what, exactly?  And again, none of the other Jihad Watch regulars ever bothered to give me a helping hand, or to explain to Angemon how he was full of shit.

P.S.: I haven't seen Angemon in Jihad Watch comments for many months now; perhaps, since I've been gone from Jihad Watch comments since late 2015, he lost interest in what was evidently more important to him than the problem of Islam and the problem of the West persisting in its myopia to the problem of Islam -- namely, the problem that seemed to have consumed most of his energy: the problem of Hesperado.
