(6,036 posts)It seems she is saying there is
1. A dubble standard
2. White people and Muslism get radicalized in a similar fashion.

They are more similar than different.
I wonder if I can find the side-by-side pics of a young Islamic woman holding a Koran and a gun next to a young Christian woman holding a Bible and a gun. It was all the rage a couple years ago.
Edited to add: Yup. Found it.

(17,175 posts)Was speaking, using a broad analogy that much of the right wing would understand.
Joy's message was not intended to denigrate muslims, but highlight the hypocrisy of muslim haters. IMO the analogy was appropriate.

(52,166 posts)But she is correct here. It is clear what she meant to say an important fact did say which is that we talked about Muslims in a much different way and we've been talking about what Trump has been doing.

(42,862 posts)All I'm trying to say is that Ms. Reid deserves better... and an apology should be forthcoming. That's not too much, is it? It's a reasonable expectation for someone to apologize when they were wrong about something, right?

The clip also left out Jamali responding to Reid's question by saying that he does not believe there is a difference between Trump's comments allegedly in support of violence committed by his followers and similar comments that may be made to extremists in the Muslim world.
When speaking to Newsweek on Tuesday for this article, Jamali suggested Reid's comments were taken out of context and may have been misinterpreted by people on both sides of the political spectrum. He pointed out that coverage of the controversy appearing in different media outlets, including The Blaze and Slate, had not sought his opinion even though he was the person Reid had posed the question to.
"I don't understand how people are rushing to judgement but not asking me," Jamali said. "We live in a country that is full of double standards, why is it not a fair question to ask why when it comes to extremism, we don't point out that there's a double standard between brown extremists and white extremists, in terms of how law enforcement approaches them?"

(25,597 posts)I guess it's too much to ask that people not rush to judgment based on things taken out of context and misinterpreted. I find it terribly embarrassing to be wrong so always check first.
