In the wake of the latest New York City attack by Muslims, Jihad Watch reports that a Sikh who happens to be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Religion at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas (and Senior Religion Fellow for the Sikh Coalition, whatever the heck that is) tweeted an anxious appeal to protect "brown people".
"Historically," the Sikh professor says, "attacks like these have been followed by violence against innocent brown Americans."
Then Robert Spencer writes:
Here is still more in the Left’s endless quest to portray everything as a racial issue.
No, not everything. It's mostly Islam that Leftists racialize (and that surely is our chief concern). And it's not merely Leftists who indulge in this racialization of Islam -- innumerable non-Leftists throughout the West also wring their hands about the possible "bigotry" and "racism" involved in condemning Islam and the Muslims who promote it (and how many Muslims don't promote it...?)
And since when is a Sikh a "Leftist"? The term "Leftist" applies only to Westerners, as it is a sociopolitical, cultural deformation organically grown in the West. A non-Westerner may put it on like an overcoat and sport it around town, but that doesn't make him a "Leftist".
A much more appropriate, and historico-culturally accurate term for this Sikh professor would be dhimmi, since we know that Sikhism developed in a context of relentless, horrific attacks and oppression by Muslims on non-Muslim Indians in the Asian subcontinent over centuries of unspeakable brutality. Anyone who derives from this ancestral holocaust and still defends his people's enemy is clearly crippled, psychologically and culturally, by the Stockholm Syndrome of dhimmitude. But no; Spencer ignores all this and leaps straight for the Leftist jugular. This is yet another example of Robert Spencer seeing only Left. I hope he doesn't do that when he's being tested with the eye chart at his next optometrist's appointment...
