It's Your Fault They Turn to Violence!
By Raymond Ibrahim
According to the media narrative, whatever unpleasant behavior a person or group is engaging in — from criminal and gang activity to sheer terrorism — if you're white and the other party is not, that proves that the behavior is entirely your fault. Your insufferable racism and xenophobia have pushed these people over the edge; their criminal behavior is a reflection of their many grievances against you.
This would certainly require ameliorating if it were true. It's not. This is not to say there is no racism, a thing that cannot be "legislated"; rather, it is to say that the overwhelming majority of criminal behavior is and always has been fueled by things other than grievances.
Take Islam for instance. Following the savage 9/11 terror attacks, the great question was "why do they hate us?" The answer from the media and their array of "experts" was that they had grievances against America.
Thereafter followed a litany list of supposed American or Western crimes against Muslims: originally, it was Western political "sins" — from the Crusades to colonialism to the creation of Israel. With each new terrorist attack or Islamic outrage, the "grievances" Muslims had grew: free speech, churches, even teddy bears were included.
