Islam THIS, Arabs THAT !
( a critique of the epistemology of the racist mind)
By : Arab Spirit !
Every now and then, someone comes up with some new or old slandering
of Islam, Mohammad (S), and Arabs, etc... In their slandering, the
attackers sometimes use low language, and vocabulary provocative of
hatred.
Not only Islam, Mohammad (S), and Arabs are attacked by this type of
slandering, defamation, and malignining but every Religion and faith,
every prophet of humanity and every name respected as a symbol of
enlightenment, every race and every ethnicity, every nationality and
every identity. Slanderers, using low language, vulgar vocabulary,
hatred and provocation of hatred, have attacked them all.
Of course, this type of attacks increases in amount and intensity in
proportion to the size and intensity of the civilization, culture,
religious, national, or whatever form of struggle or conflict
underscoring it.
Usually, educated and respectable people dismiss, with ease,
slandering and defamation that relies on low language, and vocabulary
of anger. It disgusts them, and they do not respect it. Even without
an introspective on the subject of the slanderer, the learned person,
immediately recognizes the hatred, and immediately finds the racism,
and in many cases does not respect the arguments presented in such
language enough to question weather to adopt or to reject them.
However, defamation and slandering that uses better language tools,
like high grade vocabulary of the learned well behaved and respectable
people, is more difficult to dismiss, especially when the cultural
context and the indoctrination of the civilization of the targeted
audience helps the stereotyping and the racist arguments behind the
slander and the malign context of the speech or text.
For example, Palestinian parents, especially mothers were accused, at
the beginning of this Intifada of sending their children to death, and
were they accused of being the cause of the high number of child
murders, which are, of course, crimes against all humanity. That
argument was so well presented, and propagated, around the world, to
the extent that the queen of Sweden publicly condemned Palestinian
mothers for sending their children to death!
Regardless of the innocence or evilness of intentions or education and
knowledge or sensitivity and humanity of the queen of Sweden; the
racist argument was very well presented and propagated to acceptance
and adaptation, to the shocking astonishment and surprise of most
Arabs, but not at all surprising to most Jews.
That argument, as it was presented, relied on the cultural context and
the indoctrination of the civilization of the targeted audience, so
much that it presumed, knowingly and successfully, an immense extent
of stereotyping reaching the point of sub-humanization of the already
distorted, stereotyped, feared, unknown other, who in this case is the
Palestinian Arab Muslim. In fact not only sub-humanization, but also
actually sub-animalization, if I may use such term, because animals
like cows, for example, do not send their children to death!
No examination of reliability, credibility, truth, ethics, logic, or
whatever was there in the minds of those who uttered it.
Why? Why are they so ready to accept such nonsense and adopt it?
Islam THIS Arabs THAT.
SO,
Lies and accusaions, or not, If it is easliy dismissable as such, then
dismiss it. Otherwise put it on trial, sue them, send it to judgment,
I do not mind and I grant on the condition that you try with the same
laws the opposite party, faith, race, and deed, with the same
standards.
Make a court; put to trial Islam and Mohammad (S) vs. the opposite
peer, your Christianity and Christ, or your Judaism and Moses, or your
PROPHET and FAITH.
You need a fair jury in your court, and fair genuine lawyers to defend
both, by fair laws, and by fair standards.
It is not fair at all to use false lawyers, and fabricate evidence.
You have to check the credibility, integrity, and honesty of the
resources. Obviously an Israeli Jewish American news reporter can not
give you a fair account of the whole truth, you can not limit the
court to only one side, and to see only their proofs, if you wish to
be fair, honest, respectable, and if you have integrity.
Check your sources, thouroughly, examine your resources, carefully,
and try, honestly, to seek a fair dose of bombardment to your senses
from both sides. Be fair, you are a judge!
Try them; Women in Islam v.s. women in Christianity v.s. women in
Judaism, Arab civil rights v.s. European civil rights, etc… I
would love to see such a court doing it, a court that applys to all of
them, the same laws and governing rules.
I do not mind a trial, let it come, let the examination be thorough,
let what is good stand intact, and let what is not good, burn and fall
in the fires of the truth.
How else, if you do not let your mind work, can you be sure of
anything?
It is the double standard of the trial, which corrupts the racists
mind, though intelligent. Honesty and respect, should not, ever, be
attributed to any court of double standards.
What respect, integrity, and honesty commands a court that puts a
black man into trial, but refuses to allow a fair black proportion
into its Jury?
What respect, integrity, and honesty commands a mind that puts a
religion into trial, but refuses to allow a fair voice of that
religion to reach it?
How much of the Palestinian reached Katrina of Sweden, for example,
what, when, and how, and through what means, and by whom?
I'd like to say that I do believe that the double standard is a
disease of the conscience, is one of the most fatal reasons that cause
decay of civilization
