I am watching with disappointment, the predictable but pathetic response to the New Zealand killings from the Muslim communities.
It is once again the same mantras of self-pity. "Islamophobia, Islamophobia, Islamophobia. Muslims are innocent. The fear of Muslims is growing. They are harmless but they are still being killed."
Stop this nonsense!
Read what Brenton Tarrant wrote in his manifesto. He has no issues with the Muslims if they stay in their own countries.
And it is time for practicing Muslims living in the western countries to really think about this. Why are they here?
Muslims are told that Islam is a beautiful religion; that Islam has all the answers; that Islam is a complete way of life. So why don’t Muslims use Islam to make their own Muslim countries, beautiful?
Why do Muslims have to go to places of kafirs to find a good life?
Why can’t they make their own place a nice place to live?
I have an answer for a couple of Muslim majority countries where Muslims cannot do what they should be doing. Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia. Yes, these countries are being bombed by foreign powers and Muslims from there have to go somewhere to find refuge. So why don’t Muslims go to Mecca and Medina? Why do they go to the western countries to find shelter?
And what about the other Muslim-majority countries? Why do people from those countries need to go to the West to find a good life?
NZ Shooting: Should Aborigines start killing European-Australians?
With the message of peace, this is Cemendtaur
You cannot call Brenton Tarrant an ignorant man. He is a well-traveled individual and the manifesto he has written shows a high level of intelligence.
Brenton had a plan and things went by his plan. He killed as many people as he could and then got arrested without himself being killed.
Moreover, he also showed thoughtfulness in selecting his target.
Australia has strict gun ownership laws; so Brenton chose New Zealand for his terrorist act.
You see Brenton, how people are clever to use laws to their advantage. Australia has lenient immigration laws so immigrants can go there, but because of the tough gun laws you could not get guns to kills them there. New Zealand had relaxed gun laws so you took advantage of those laws.
Of course, it is doubtful if Brenton Tarrant will achieve the ultimate goal he wanted to achieve: to scare away foreigners from the western countries. For a Syrian refugee New Zealand is still far safer than Syria.
In his manifesto, Brenton Tarrant calls immigrants to the western countries, invaders. We have a problem with that label. Immigrants are not coming to the western countries with guns. You know who went to the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa with guns, to invade those lands. The Europeans did. Brenton Tarrant’s forefathers were the true invaders.
So what should the Aborigines do? Should they start killing European-Australian invaders? What should the Maoris do? Should they start killing European-New Zealander invaders? What should the American Indians do? Should they start killing European-American invaders?
No. Nothing like this should happen.
If citizens of the western countries don’t like new immigrants they should make new laws to restrict immigration. If White Nationalists are not finding this support in the government, then they should understand that the majority of European-descent population of the western countries is not with them. May be the White Nationalists should find a place where they are in majority and claim that land for themselves. But no matter what, terrorist acts against unarmed civilians cannot be tolerated. Because in this day and age no social contract can allow citizens to become violent against fellow-citizens. It is immoral for you to seek your own security from a social contact, and then break the same social contract to harm others.
New Zealand mosque shooting was an event bigger than Trump's election. This terrorist attack will have far-reaching consequences, and the reason is simple: this guy had a manifesto. You cannot dismiss this guy as a lunatic, a racist, a white supremacist, or an Islamophobe. He was none of that. And he has explained very well why he was doing what he was doing. We certainly disagree with his violent methods to achieve the goals he and other white nationalists want to achieve; but you cannot disagree with the fact the he has a strong logic behind his attack.
I read through many newspapers this morning and I was surprised that most of the newspapers ignored the manifesto the shooter sent on social media before going on his killing spree.
And I see a reason why media outlets would do that: they don’t want to become the mouthpiece of the terrorist.
But I think it is disingenuous. The people who agree with white nationalists’ agenda, will get hold of Tarrent’s manifesto and will secretly become more entrenched in that ideology.
I am against keeping anything in the closet, no matter how hateful it is. So, what was Brenton Tarrant’s argument? The argument goes like this.
Because of the unchecked immigration in western countries, the European population of these countries is shrinking and he does not like it. He wants to see people of his kind, European descent people, in charge of things in the western countries. He does not hate foreigners. He does not hate Muslims. He just wants to see them in their place, back in the home country they have come from. They stay in their countries, and leave his country to people of his kind, the European-descent people.
So, what’s wrong with this argument? If there is nothing wrong with the Japanese trying to not lose their country to immigrants; if there is nothing wrong with the Chinese retaining control of their country; what’s wrong with people of European-descent trying to keep control in their hands, of countries they have established?
Let me tell you what’s wrong with his violent method. The immigration laws that the western countries have made were not made by the immigrants or the Muslims. These people are just the beneficiaries of the policies the governments of these lands made. So White Nationalists should have an issue with their governments, and not with the immigrants. If the nationalists can convince their governments to stop all immigration from non-European countries, then there is not much the immigrants can do. Similarly, the nationalists can work with their governments to make policies that favor people of European-descent, and give second class citizenship to others; if that happens, what can the immigrants do, but go back to the lands where policies are more favorable to them.
But White Nationalists know very well that in this day and age, such discriminatory policies cannot be made.
So, here is another non-violent way for the White Nationalists, to be around people of their kind and don’t see non-Europeans at all.
You can make small communities where you don’t allow other people to enter.
Let’s see how that experiment works out for you. It could be the nirvana you are looking for.
I have been asked to keep it short, so this is it for today. Hope to see you next time.
