Indymedia is overtaken by racists and Bush-Blair propagadndists

Justthought | 24.08.2006 14:42 | Analysis | Anti-racism | Indymedia | World

This is seen daily.

Every time there is a post with a Muslim or Arabic named contributor, within seconds almost there appears a most various hateful retort.

Irrespective of what the topic of the contribution is. Irrespective of how new and how relevant the given original post is, the anti-Muslim racist post has a go at the 'Muslim' contributor regardless.

Even if what that 'Muslim' contributor was saying was the most necessary sensible and universally truthful comment that indymedia was there to provide the space for

Why is it that of all the comparable web outlets, indymedia UK is so full of racist and especially brimming with contributors ready to pounce against anyone they count as a Muslim?

Add to that the almost predictable instant antagonism to any Muslim named contributor.

This evidence is undeniable and it must serve to warn us all about just who is writing the agenda for the annihilation of 'civilisation as we know it'.

All the hostile contributors are almost always making remarks against anyone they consider a Muslim.

Given that these publications are taking place at a timer in the West when there is also non stop posts and events going on allegedly against the Bush Blair Nato schemes against various targets states and nations in the Middle East, one has got to owner just where these hostile contributions are coming from.

Almost like clockwork, any contribution that is posted by a Muslim or by anyone that appears to be imperial and no wantonly anti Muslim, is treated as if they lack in something vital.

Hatred therefore has become a prerequisite, a prime banner

And these hateful contributions are not even coming from any instantly traceable source within the stat of Blair or of Bush. These are posts that are apparently coming from allegedly ordinary people.

Which creates a serious logical problem: if there are so many more people with such anti-Muslim hatred in society then it must follow that Blair and Bush are on that level representing those apparent majorities in their crusading attacks on Muslim destinations.

So what does that say about the relevance of the various stop the war factions?

Where do they go when these hateful and very racist post are displayed?

Do those ‘stop the war’ factions only respond or come on when ‘their’ groups are referred to in any way whether in a positive or in a negative way?

And the rest of the time, the ‘rows’ can be ignored?

How influential are the unchallenged words and phrases of raciest venom on the minds of the less educated, the less informed and the less enlightened?

How many people take as read whatever appears in the Daily Mail, the SUN and on the BBC?

How are we going to get out of the cycle of hatred that is being made even worse by those who control the Indymedia UK?

Why do they allow the racist posts to appear?

Or are those involved in ‘editing’ the UK indymedia party to these racists posts which they aim at targeted contributors?

Do they think that there is no longer any need to bother about fairness let alone be worked up [!] about the torrents of anti-Muslim posts that appear whenever a Muslim-named contrition is posted?
