    you're missing the point. the fact that it's complicated doesn't justify the fact that innocent people are being slaughtered because of systematic and institutionalized racism. and if you don't think western societies have systematic discrimination then you're fucking blind and have fallen into the trap of idealizing cultures other than your own. modern western society was founded on racism and continues to be racist.


    True, institutionalized racism is a clear and present danger, but these wars are more about profit, political gain and economic interests rather than ideological racism, and any death is more a result of collateral damage and devalued life (which does tie into racism I suppose).

    Can you prove it was deliberate and not the result of collateral damage/incompetence/isolated cases of soldiers committing atrocities?

    i'm not arguing that it's deliberate, but when people claim it's "collateral damage" and use that to ignore the issue, it really shows the value of the innocent being killed, doesn't it? it's not like they're human lives with any sort of value, just "collateral damage", as if they were buildings or cars that were hit in an explosion.

    and what about the many cases of torturing and absolute gruesome crimes that were exposed in iraq and afghanistan and elsewhere? were those not intentional? was abu ghuraib an "accident"? was the recent slaughtering of afghani civilians an "accident"? these things happen because people believe arab/muslim = terrorist, so it's legitimate to do with them whatever is legitimate to do with enemy combatants at a time of war.

     Reply #124 - March 22, 2012, 09:36 AM

    When I say collateral damage I'm not excusing it, I'm talking about the difference between intentional 'massacre' as you labelled it, and inadvertant killing (akin to reckless manslaughter on a large scale IMO) as a result of fighting campaigns.

    The incidents you referred to were mostly singular incidents, which are a result of poor discipline as well as a lack of respect for the locals, but they aren't telling of direct policy.

    Anyway, as far as I'm concerned any loss of life from anywhere is an equal tragedy to me. You talk about the loss of life in the middle east and how it's ignored. Africans starve by the thousands every day with barely a news story or a shed tear going their way-and I bring this up to show you that the further away the issue, the less people care about it, it's not just about racism.

    even i, a privileged arab who has no exposure to the atrocities being committed by western powers outside of their borders, have experienced some discrimination. i have been given the "extra" and "random" security check at airports more than once. and my family has been told to "go back home" when were were on vacation abroad. and i have heard of stories of many students who have been detained for hours and even deported without being given a reason.

    of course that's not the same as the maiming and slaughtering of innocent people, but it's part of the system, and is done for the same reasons.

    To be honest, I'm sick of this shit. Even if the murderer turns out to be a white supremacist, Islam has a lot of blood on its hands, and terrorist Islamists have a lot of blood on their hands. Just because some idiots vilify all Muslims because of that doesn't mean that the previous sentence is not true. Let's not forget certain facts, here. Let's not forget who the real monsters are.

    Dude, discrimination against minorities exists everywhere, it's actually a natural phenomenon that exists psychologically in humans, and even other species. In many western countries it's a natural part of a system rather than a conscious rationally made decision. The Harvard Implicit Association test shows that this discrimination exists in the vast majority of people (to various degrees) from all backgrounds and ethnic groups.  I'm not pointing this out because I want to say 'everyone's racist so stop complaining', but because I want to show that implicit racism exists where explicit racism has been removed to a large degree. The reason you notice it in western nations is because they are usually the policy makers and political/military leaders. On the flip side though, unlike most countries, some western countries at least aim not to be explicitly racist, and by far the biggest anti-racism measures exist in those western nations.

    Anyway, I'm not defending the west, but I'm just saying that this isn't all about racism, and it isn't an exclusively western phenonmenon.

    We must realize all those three French Paratroopers killed by this brute  ARE ALSO MUSLIMS

    Where did you read that ? I read two of them were from North Africa, and the third one from Antilles, but I have read nothing about their religion. Which actually doesn't change anything imho : the killer did not stop by to ask them their religion before killing them, and would certainly have done so no matter the answer anyway.
    And Islamist terrorists killing other Muslims (or Jews, Atheists, Buddhists, other Islamists, and even themselves for that matter) is nothing new. It's more routine.

    I just read this, though.

    Quote
    13h20: Le président de la République propose de réprimer pénalement toute personne qui consultera les sites faisant l'apologie d'idéologies extrémistes, des délits qui seront désormais «punis pénalement». De la même manière, les Français qui se rendraient à l'étranger pour suivre des stages d'endoctrinement pourront également être poursuivis pénalement. Il a enfin demandé à son ministre de la Justice une étude sur la propagation des idées fondamentalistes en prison.


    Rough translation: Sarkozy proposes penal punishment for people who would browse websites that praise extremist ideologies. Also, French people who would travel abroad to attend "indoctrination trainings" could also be prosecuted.

    ... Really? That's his solution? I don't know whether to laugh or bash my head against the wall. And to think that this dimwit is probably going to be re-elected...

    One document, a government briefing note, allegedly points to visits to Libya by Sarkozy and his close colleagues and advisers, which it says were aimed at securing campaign funding.  Shortly after Sarkozy's election, Colonel Gaddafi was invited to Paris and allowed to pitch his bedouin tent in the grounds of an official French residence close to the Elysée Palace. He was described as the "Brother Leader" by the French.
