This is how charges of ‘racism’ and ‘Islamophobia’ are
weaponized against those who oppose jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of
women.
The left leaning critics
of Rashida Tlaib were are enraged, as she took issue with Jew hating groups.
Now, rage is their default mode, so this was no
surprise, but the whole incident provided an illuminating glimpse into how
leftists try to arouse and exploit rage for their own purposes, and re ally don’t have much of anything they can use
to motivate their cadres if they aren’t
angry about something.
It all started when Abraham Aiyash, a Democra who is
currently the majority leader of the Michigan House of Representatives, posted
on X a political cartoon lampooning Tlaib.
The cartoon, which was the work of Henry Payne of
the Detroit News, first appeared not in the News, but in National
Review. It depicts Tlaib sitting at her desk looking over at the smoking ruin
of her pager and thinking: “Odd. My pager just exploded.”
There is nothing “racist” or “Islamophobic” about this
cartoon. It doesn’t mention Tlaib’s race or her religion. It merely makes fun
of her for her unapologetic and open support of the jihad against Israel, which
allies her with jihad terror groups including Hezbollah.
For Tlaib and others like her, however, charging
“racism” and “Islamophobia” is the all-purpose response to any criticism, no
matter how mild. And why not? It works.
