Quote:وظهر المتهم جيريمي جوزيف كريستيان (35 عاما) في محكمة مدينة بورتلاند أمام عدسات الصحفيين، حيث واجه القضاة صارخا "الموت لأعداء .. ارحلوا عن هذه البلاد إذا كنتم تكرهون حرياتنا.. تسمونه إرهابا وأنا أعتبره وطنية".
I'll translate this bit:
"And the suspect Jermie Joseph Christian (35 years old) appeared in a court in the city of Portland in front of the lenses of the journalists, where he faced the judges screaming: "Death to America's enemies.. get out of this country if you hate our freedoms.. you call it terrorism I consider it patriotism".
This is terrorism; not a hate crime.
This man assaulted a Muslim to install fear, forcing other Muslims to flee the country.
This is a political agenda. The right wing is very well known to spread and stress on such language; it's called "anti immigration".
This is a political goal; and many political parties worldwide are known to embrace it, and even consider it "a part of the agenda and part of the campaign" of that certain party.
This man is a rightist; judging from his crime combined with his own confession in front of the court.
Why isn't he considered a terrorist, like most brown Muslim killers are considered?
This is not even close to a hate crime. But somebody is benefiting from the biased "war on terror" that is only used to justify the organised invasion and demolish of the Middle East and suck its resources.And since Middle Eastern people are mainly brown and Muslim; terrorists can't be but brown and Muslim.
Disgusting.
FWIW - I thought this was a simple hate crime before his outbursts in court at his arraignment, and before some of the later news reports. Now I have to agree with you that this was an act of terrorism and that it will not be called such, same as most of the incidents involving homegrown extremists. The last I recall that was called such was Timothy McVeigh and his accomplice who's name escapes me. There may be others that I don't recall but I think the overarching point stands - politically motivated violence involving white supremacists does not appear to be identified as terrorism in this country.
