Winston Churchill famously said, “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.” Rev. Jesse Jackson gave new life to that definition when he appeared before the Arab-American Civil Rights League (“AACRL”) to tell them that they were being shamefully discriminated against and must stand up and fight for their rights.
The AACRL’s response to worldwide Muslim terrorism is to whine that law-abiding Muslims are unfairly caught in some fallout. It does not seem as if the AACRL has ever taken a proactive stand against worldwide Muslim terrorism. Of course, if it spoke out against terrorism, the effect would be twofold: (a) it would help fight that terrorism and (b) it would help allay American fears that the Muslims in their midst support, rather than oppose, a worldwide Islamic jihad.
Since the Civil Rights movement, Jesse Jackson has been a strong, loud voice against America and American values. Rather than seeing the movement’s victory as a sign that America is a good country, he believes strongly that it is a fundamentally evil country that must be controlled, constrained, and destroyed.
The single fastest way for Muslim Arab Americans to end no fly lists and bank account closures would be for these groups to become loud, aggressive opponents of Islamic terrorism wherever it occurs. After every terrorist attack, they should be rallying to condemn the attacks. But they don’t. They say nothing. And then they whine when the government suspects that they might be terrorist supporters.
*The term “Arab American” implies “Muslim Arab American.” They are not to be confused with Christian Arabs who, as we know, are being slaughtered and persecuted all over the Muslim world.
