Amith is exactly the one who is doing that. The above statement is an example of projection. Those of us who are concerned about the women who were attacked (not just sexually) have not made an issue at all concerning the characteristics of the attackers other than they were male and (in light of their actions) criminal. Period. And our response to the attacks on immigrants isn't dependent on any of the facts that the right wing might claim (whether true or false); after all, racism and anti-immigration have a long history and would be expected to take advantage of any incident to their advantage. But if the left isn't capable of defending women, then I'm sure Pegida would be happy to step in our place. And even worse: > It >has gotten to the point that one poster submitted an article penned by the >leader of a notoriously anti-Muslim organization Amith, if you have been reading the messages you would have learned that Dennis' inclusion of that piece in the Daily Beast only had to do with him calling the facts/allegations to our attention, not agreement with the political commentary therein. That allegation and every such remark in this email berating list members (and putting ridiculous words in our mouths) is absolutely unjustified and perhaps reveals something about Amith's defensive psychology in relation to these issues. - Jeff _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
