Muslim Groups and Pseudo-Experts

: After the horrible news of the attacks in Brussels and the terrible loss of life, comes the interminable list of Muslim groups denouncing terrorism, followed by the interminable list of groups and pseudo-experts putting Muslims on the defensive, blaming them for the evil of all evils, according to Rabble. This cycle of violence and bigotry has been going on since the attacks of September 2001. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. The difference today is that it is getting uglier and more acute, attack after attack. In a post-colonialist era, policies of exclusion and anti-immigration are also a continuation of this dangerous rhetoric. The discussion fuelled by politicians and groups with political agendas revisits Edward Said theory of Orientalism, which describes the centuries-long portrayal of Islam and its adherents as inherently violent and apart from civilization -- unless they either renounce their faith and their culture, or become civilized through colonialism and invasion.
