Come to Londonistan, our refuge for poor misunderstood Islamist victims - Comment - Times Online

The problem lies in a refusal to acknowledge that Islamist extremism is rooted in religion. Instead, ministers and security officials prefer to think of it as a protest movement against grievances such as Iraq or Palestine, or “Islamophobia”. They simply ignore the statements and signs that show unequivocally that the aim is to Islamicise the West.
In large measure, this is the outcome of a profound loss of cultural nerve. The doctrines of multiculturalism and minority rights, themselves the outcome of a systematic onslaught by the British elite against the country’s own identity and values, have paralysed the establishment, which accordingly shies away from criticising any minority for fear of being labelled as bigoted.
As a result, it ignored the radicalisation of many British Muslims by extremist Islamic institutions. Worse still, “grievance culture” has meant that instead of fighting the paranoia and lies driving the Islamist’s hatred of the West, British society is afflicted by the very same pathology.
Minority rights doctrine has produced a moral inversion, in which those doing wrong are excused if they belong to a “victim” group, while those at the receiving end of their behaviour are blamed simply because they belong to the “oppressive” majority.

I think that we in the U.S, for the most part, suffer from the same pathology. Look at the way we refuse to profile any minorty group, even when there is more than enough cause to do so. I’m not sanctioning racism, but when profiling makes sense, dammit, do it and stop worrying about being called racist. If there is actual racism going on, it will be found out, but we need to stop screaming “racism” constantly, or it will mean nothing. Profiling is not racism, you can profile based on a number of things, sex, height, weight, skin color. We seem to forbid profiling based on about half of those, which is stupid. We also need to stop the glorification of these groups as “victims”, and to stop providing people with the means of sitting on their ass and doing nothing because they are from a “victim” group.
