1/When an islamophobe sets out to explain what isn't islamophobia you know some giant lies and wrapped hate is to follow.
The classic way to get away with your bigotry is to make it sound like a theory, establish a pattern. Mitra tried exactly that with this thread+
2/Like a typical idiot masquerading as an intellectual, Mitra rehashed a 1990 theory by B.Lewis 'the roots of Muslim Rage' which was used by Bush to pillage Islamic countries. Make no mistake, it's to say Indian Muslims need similar violent treatment. A war on its own citizens?
3/Mitra indulges in silliest kind of psycho-social generalisations of Muslims looking for a "BARGAIN". And mind you they have been wining these bargains(lol) and still remain the weakest electorally and financially, my Mitra's own admission.
4/To further fool his idiot fanboys- he throws in dates and events - partition, 1857 et al. Sounds so bright, no! Acc to him, for 150+ years to1857 since mughals weakened to further 150+ till now, there's one monolithic aspiration - to strike an evil bargain.
5/Mitra also throws in another perfect bait - Jinnah. I'd dodge it and talk about another big bargain that Muslims tried to make - pol representation electorally- but agreed to give it away for their TRUST in majority and secular credentials of India. No way a bigot will say it.
6/Now NSA's visit to Markaz is pulled in citing it was an insult mind you. But who hasn't watched this video (ss) and even a blind and deaf can't miss the power dynamics between the cop and markaz members. you want to tell me NSA would go crawling there? Bigots would believe tho!
7/Then flows cherry picked incidents of violent reaction by Muslims, carefully curated from all parts of this 1.3billion strong country. And guess what! A fake news with a graphic image is sneaked in that a cop was beaten by a Muslim mob, but it was a Hindu mob actually! Phew!
8/ There would be as many and may be more incidents of people of other religions not cooperating, being irresponsible, being violent but only some of them will be highlighted to tell it is a conspiracy and ALL Muslims are party to this WAR. A jihad.
9/ sample this: a positive tested woman went to a satsung and police had to do 1500+ contract tracing but did you hear about it?
- Holi parties were thrown but can you imagine them being Eid parties and one of the guests testing positive and no religion is dragged into it?
10/A massive society in Noida was sealed because a man returned from Europe,went around playing Holi and tested positive eventually, did you hear about it?
-or as much on this lynching in Bihar and another incident where health workers were chased and attacked? No?You know why!
11/ here's a video of attack with chants of 'maaro maaro'
Good we didn't make it a communal issue because it is not, it is a LAW and ORDER issue. https://twitter.com/tanwer_m/status/1245019036267642880?s=19
12/I don't want to get into religious events of other religions,but u can find aplenty mentions by a simple search.
It's foolishness of highest order to find religion in a pandemic.I pray it doesn't,but if it plays out like Europe, all you'd be left with is like PILE of CORPSES.
