 Yes, yes, Shane. You don't like Muslims (all of whom use the phrase Allahu
 Akhbar) and consider them scum. We all get it, okay?

 What I'm curious about is how long the moderators will tolerate this
 transparent race-baiting.

 I am recovering from the flu right now and don't have much energy to rein
 this in.

 Shane's Islamophobia is pretty well established at this point.
 Furthermore, he has never once shown any interest in actually persuading
 anybody on Marxmail about anything but uses this forum to get attention
 paid to his snarky, one or two sentence trolling expeditions. What a waste
 of a Columbia University doctorate in economics, to play the crank on a
 mailing list of 1500 people looking for in-depth and substantive analysis.

 Shane: you have posted six times today on this. That is enough. ENOUGH.

It's nice to read Richard Seymour's post but also distressing to see the
kind of garbage that is posted in response both by leftists like Shane
and the commentators on the website itself.

It's not new to see leftists dismissing the scourge of Islamophobia, or
even having difficulty understanding what it is, as though the campaign
(crusade?) against Islam in France and in some parts of the United States
is anything but a racialized campaign to scapegoat migrants or drum up war
propaganda. It is the counter to the campaign by many on the right (and too
many on the left) to find anti-Semitism wherever Israel's barbarism is
rightfully singled out, or whenever the larger issue of Jewish integration
into the West (and Muslim, African, and other exclusion) is brought up.

With all the barrage of sentiments about protecting freedom of speech,
it's a wonder nobody has brought up the fact that Muslims in France are
barred from wearing certain types of clothing on exclusively cultural
grounds, that they are targeted mercilessly by police, that hate speech
laws are used to target their community rather than to protect it, and
perhaps most embarrassingly that the French government had the gall to
threaten jail sentences against anyone who dared protest this summer's Gaza
massacre of Muslims. Note also how in Norway, few saw the right-wing terror
attack on student democracy activists at a political summer camp by Anders
Breivik (originally blamed on the Muslims) as an attack on freedom of
speech, but instead reduced it to the attitude of a crazy person -- as
though his ideas were anything but the result of far-right anti-Muslim
activism that one would think threatens the freedom of Muslims, immigrants,
left-wing activists, political freedom, etc.

Freedom of speech, like terrorism, is not an objective term despite
attempts by theorists to come up with objective definitions. Culturally and
legally, both terms are used by the dominant classes to frame that which is
worth protecting and that which is threatening.

And no, I am not criticizing the sympathy with the journalists killed, I
think it goes without saying that what was done was atrocious and deserves
condemnation from all quarters. I am criticizing the narrative.

 neither are a race nor are looked on by anybody as such?
 Who has actually defended the proposition that there is ever anything

Actually surpirsed at the poverty of this piece. While, as usual, Seymore

don't like these liberals pretending to be leftists and well the security state 
is the enemy.  Seriously?  No shit.  But against the security state but for

 Rejection of religious fundamentalism may or may not be a ”left position 
 (depending on what secret definition you have of the meaningless word left) 
 but to call it race baiting is to solidarize with the allahu-akbarist 
 Nazis

Yes, but these caricatures (at least the Mohamed ones) aren’t aimed at 
”religious fundamentalism” but Islam in general. And given the dominance of 
Islam in the Arab world such caricatures can’t really be understood as anything 
else than a more or less blanket condemnation aimed at Arab culture by European 
”ex-colonialists”. (Of course, there is a huge difference between the Mohamed 
caricatures and those of someone like Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.)

Islam HAS been racialized. There is a reason the cartoons depicting
Muslims do not depict the diversity of the religion but instead a racist
caricature.

It is beyond dumbfounding how someone can not see that when it is so

 andrew, if i contributed to a misunderstanding, i apologize.  i don't know
 if charlie hebdo is islamophobist or not.  i don't really even like that
 term and try not to use it.

 separately, i looked at some of their cartoons and found them provocative
 at best.  given the large arab muslim population in france, i consider
 their publishing of them to be race baiting, just as i would find klan
 cartoon depictions of black religious practices race baiting in selma,
 alabama. nevermind that i am not religious, believe religion to be a great
 blight and might even privately laugh at satiric depictions of religion.
  most people are religious and there is little to gain in rubbing their
 nose in their folly.  at best it's bad manners.

 and yes, i question charlie hebdo's motivations in publishing the cartoons
 and subsequently any claim they have to being of the left.

 I've lost the place in the thread where there are links to examples of the
 magazine's Islamophobia.
