"No reasonable and thoughtful individual will see Muslims as subhuman, or irrational, violent, or backward." -- Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, July of 2019
Was that a double-virtual-signalling spasm by Robert? Or does he really believe it? We'll apparently never know (unless Robert undergoes a remarkable change of strategy).
Let's analyze this more closely: Of course I would agree with the "subhuman" part; but Robert is using our obvious rejection of the notion of Muslims being "subhuman" in order to smuggle in a similar rejection of the other three, less obvious, descriptors. "Irrational" for example: it's safe to say that anyone defending Allah, the Koran, and Mohammed is irrational. How about "violent"? There may be many Muslims who are not strictly speaking violent and may not be all their lives; but that hardly exempts them from our condemnation, when they continue to enable, if not enthusiastically support (as well as mendaciously defend) an ideology that mandates violence in order to foment its fanatically psychotic, supremacist expansionism.
Finally, we have "backward". Well, there may be some Muslims who are educated and relatively literate; but again, so long as they affirm Allah, the Koran and Mohammed as good, they remain backward in terms of the progress of humanity -- not to mention that it is arguable to say that all too often those Muslims who are educated and relatively literate use their relative intelligence not for good, but for the evil of advancing Islam through more or less clever tactics of sophistry & deception.
