A Fellow Called Mohammed

Racism is bad – so is self-delusion

These days, whenever something goofy turns up on the news, chances are it involves a fellow called Mohammed. A plane flies into the World Trade Centre? Mohammed Atta. A gunman shoots up the El Al counter at Los Angeles airport? Hesham Mohamed Hedayet. A sniper starts killing petrol station customers around Washington, DC? John Allen Muhammed. A guy fatally stabs a Dutch movie director? Mohammed Bouyeri. A terrorist slaughters dozens in Bali? Noordin Mohamed. A gang-rapist in Sydney? Mohammed Skaf.

Maybe all these Mohammeds are victims of Australian white racists and American white racists and Dutch white racists and Balinese white racists and Beslan schoolgirl white racists.

Maybe saying something like this is enough to get you killed by a member of the Religion of Peace.

  1. Come on man.

    Pointing this out is one thing..

    But using “goofy” for these awful events…

    Have to say bad taste.

    But to the blog.

    That’s fucking weird!

    Shit. Maybe it’s because the media wants us to not like people named Mohammed, so they hipe up stories to follow their hidden adgendas…

    I know. Genius.
