Hypocrisy personified: Same violence, same crimes but different reactions owing to victims concerned

[The Bald Eagle]

Yesterday a Muslim man saved people in Leicester but almost all western media outlets made the headlines "Security guard save people". In contrast if God forbid this crime has been perpetrated by him then headline would have been "Muslim terrorist killed people". So why media and some people in west are just so big a hypocrite.

Even elsewhere like in Gaza thousands of people have been massacred but no actions from US and UN. While 9/11 is still considered the biggest tragedy of the 21st century where approximately 2200 people lost their lives. Even the sites like Facebook are too quick to issue we stand with Paris, London etc filters but block any information pertaining to condemnation of Israel.

So is the blood of one human race or ethnicity more sacred than other? Why so much hypocrisy around the world just because of the identity of victim and the perpetrators.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Even some Indians have showcased this hypocrisy by condemning acts of Hamas while remaining silent on atrocities of Israel. Furthermore, they got bonkers with acts of violence against Hindus in Bangladesh while at the minorities in their own country are suffering because of some cow's slaughter.

It’s simple. When you’re a cop, you’re simply doing a duty towards your nation for which you’re being paid as well. You being of any religion makes no difference, you must do the right thing.

But when someone commits crime, it’s important to name and shame his community so that the related community members will know if the bad name it brings to the faith and their community and hopefully refrain from indulging in anti national activities.

O you mean how Canada did on the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, or how Pakistan did on Kulbushan Singh Yadav.

BJP Indians expect Muslims to condemn if Any Muslim does something bad. We Muslims generally condemn those.

But, do BJP Indians condemn their own? Cow vigilante mobs? Kashmiri human rights abuse? Random riots? I have never seen BJP Indians acknowledge those let alone condemn those. As a matter of fact, BJP Indians seem to cheer for those and make up excuses.

BJP Indians also seem to support Israeli bombings of innocent Palestinian women and children.

Hypocrisy indeed. Not just hypocrisy but evil too.

I don't expect muslims to condemn anything. I only object when they want to hide, downplay or gaslight something.

I also don't want anyone to expect condemnation from me for anything.

Yes, it is a fact that people feel more for those they identify with. I have never seen any muslim rallies in favour of any community which is not muslim, and that is fine. Hindus should stand up for Hindus, Muslims for Muslims and Christians for Christians. But if anyone wants to stand up for someone else, that is fine too, but should not be an expectation.

Expectation should first be from your own people. My disappointment is with Hindus who don't stand up for Hindus. I never complain or expect Muslims to stand up for my people.

the suspect has been named .

Those people who only attack evil from a certain religion or background , DONT care for the lives lost but use tragic events to spread their hate . You will also see them more angry when someone from their own background is hurt but again they don’t really care , another opportunity to spread hate .

Why they do this is a question they can only answer but imo they are unhappy with their own lives .

Where was role of OBL conclusively proved, Taliban back then asked for proves to hand them over to US but they never furnished that. And whole Iraq war 2003 was based on a lie.

But here there are proofs available regarding Kulbushan Yadav's activities

784,000 articles show Western media’s anti-Muslim bias over 20 years

Two political scientists, professors Erik Bleich and Maurits van der Veen, "conclusively" found that coverage of Muslims is "overwhelmingly" more negative on average in comparison to other ethnic groups after analyzing over 784,000 newspaper articles published over 21 years.

The professors looked at 256,000 articles from the United States and 528,000 British, Canadian and Australian publications from 1996 to 2016 before reaching the conclusion.

In other words, the research found that Muslims are "systematically" misrepresented more than others in the Western press, which in turn leads to anti-Muslim sentiment detrimentally affecting Muslims in Western countries.

The academics’ findings were reported on conversation.com in an article penned by the authors.

"Our central finding is that the average article mentioning Muslims or Islam in the United States is more negative than 84% of articles in our random sample. This means that one would likely have to read six articles in U.S. newspapers to find even one that was as negative as the average article touching on Muslims," the academics wrote.

They found in the U.S. that articles mentioning Muslims were more likely to be negative compared to Catholics, Jews, Hindus or any other group. "The proportion of positive and negative articles was close to 50-50 (Catholics, Jews and Hindus). By contrast, 80% of all articles related to Muslims were negative," they found.

The authors were "struck" by the divergence between how negatively Muslims are depicted by the mainstream media compared to other religions. "Our work shows that the media are not prone to publishing negative stories when they write about other minority religions, but they are very likely to do so when they write about Muslims," they explained.

The study
The study collected and analyzed articles from U.S., U.K, Australian and Canadian newspapers related to not only Muslims but also Catholics, Jews and Hindus, and made various comparisons of how the religions were represented in the articles based on religion and country.

Providing a concrete example of Islamophobic bias in a typical newspaper article about Muslims, the authors gave the following example: "Consider the following sentence that has the tone of the average Muslim article: ‘The Russian was made to believe by undercover agents that the radioactive material was to be delivered to a Muslim organization.’ This contains two highly negative words (‘undercover’ and ‘radioactive’) and implies that the ‘Muslim organization’ has nefarious goals."

U.K., Australia, Canada
After the U.S., the authors then compared newspaper articles published in other Anglosphere Western countries – Australia, Canada and the U.K. – analyzing 528,444 articles and "found that the proportion of negative to positive articles in these countries was almost exactly the same as that in the United States." They found that the percentage of newspaper articles mentioning the Muslim faith that are negative in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia are nearly the same, at 80%, 79%, 79% and 77% respectively.

Overall, they found an "overwhelmingly negative coverage" of Muslims in the U.S. U.K., Canada and Australia.

The study authors drew a link between negative coverage and harm to Muslims, referencing the results of previous studies. "Other studies that looked at the impact of negative information about Muslims also found an increase in support for policies that harm Muslims, such as secret surveillance of Muslim Americans or the use of drone attacks in Muslim countries," they found.

The authors drew a recent real-world comparison mentioning the warm welcome Americans and Europeans gave the Ukrainians in 2022 that contrasts with the irregular and hostile policies toward Syrian refugees in the 2010s.

The authors believe that acknowledging and then addressing "the systemic negativity" of media coverage of Muslims and Islam is "vital" to combat the "widespread stigmatization" of Muslims.

The authors also called to "create opportunities for more humane policies that are fair to everyone regardless of their faith."

Given the rapid increase in Islamophobic attacks in most Western countries in the past few years, and the important role of the media fuelling anti-Semitism before and during the Holocaust, the authors' concerns and advice, based on extremely strong evidence, should be urgently acted upon. This is important because the clear trajectory of the Islamophobic trend is moving further vilification and violence against Muslims living in the West.

Add the recent propaganda in BD too although it no way justifies the violent actions that have actually happened there

The victim card is understandable but the reality is exactly opposite to what OP has described. Most of the news outlets in UK are left aligned. If anything they proactively try to cover up atrocities commited by minority community and try to show them in good light. The example being Rotherham Child grooming by Pakistani expats which media tried every avenue to cover up until it got exposed in documentary series. On the other hand if the culprit is a white person, like of BBC or SKY shout out their names multiple times.

Regarding this incident of Abdullah saving a girl child, every news channel explicity covered it. While driving to work, I was listening to LBC and the host was almost rubbing onto right wing gang who rioted last week saying look now a muslim guy saved a kid..what you have to say about it? I think I was reading this news in Gurdian yesterday where 3-4 times they mentioned the saviour was a muslim by faith. Will they ever say the saviour is a Christian if a white guy named Jack or Smith does the same? No

Think about it, the amount of terrorism and atrocities muslims have commited in western world, they have no incentive to be good towards them. It is the leftist secular and welcoming nature of the west that they try their level best to protect the image of muslims and show them in good light. The day media starts covering true stories and try to report spade a spade without sugarcoating, there will be more riots as the truth is very different.

Stop being victim 24*7.

Yup, Sudan not finding a mention despite having maximum causalities by several multiples among the current list of crisis around the world speaks volumes!

One should really try to get the full picture before jumping the gun.

The public doesn't have the full picture, whoever shared it masterfully cropped it from the kick and stamp, as if he wasn't recording before it at all. and all the story updates are pointing to a too much happening which we can only speculate.

My guess so far, the family will settle this with the cops for medical treatment and no charges against the family while the cop will get a lengthy suspension maybe fired but he wont be suffering any criminal conviction.

This is not Gujarat. This is UK. I hope the accused police officer will be punished appropriately.

Yup !!

I don’t understand when asked a simple question, why people deflect and compare to other unrelated things. None of the points you mentioned are related to this thread.

So basically there’s no proof of Indian state involvement, it’s been alleged that the state is involved.

Whether it’s true or not, it’s anyone’s guessing game.

The media didn't try to cover it up, it was mentioned plenty. How many times do you see paedophiles being identified as white and that given as the reason for their perversion? It's a slippery slope identifying crime by race or nationality unless you can show it is intrinsically a racial or national factor.
