SubscribeMuslim Miss UK: Stereotyping Causes Terrorism
From the UK’s Daily Mail:
Stereotyping is leading to terror, says first Muslim Miss England
31st August 2006
The first Muslim to be crowned Miss England has warned that stereotyping members of her community is leading some towards extremism.
Hammasa Kohistani made history last year when she was chosen to represent England in the Miss World pageant.
But one year on, the 19-year-old student from Hounslow feels that winning the coveted beauty title last September was a "sugar coating for Muslims who have become more alienated in the past 12 months.
She said: "The attitude towards Muslims has got worse over the year. Also the Muslims’ attitude to British people has got worse.
"Even moderate Muslims are turning to terrorism to prove themselves. They think they might as well support it because they are stereotyped anyway…
But at the same time, she said, "there is this hostility, which comes "mainly from the Government…
Miss Kohistani said: "Tony Blair addressed Muslims in particular, telling them that they need to sort out the problem within. That was a huge stereotype of the Islamic community. Even the more moderate Muslims have been stereotyped negatively and feel they have to take actions to prove themselves.
Born in Uzbekistan and raised in Afghanistan, Miss Kohistani divided Muslim opinion when she entered and won the Miss England pageant in Liverpool.
Several community leaders openly declared her to be betraying the laws of Islam while radical Muslims sent the teenager and her family death threats.
But after a busy year travelling around the world as an ambassador for England, Miss Kohistani said she feels Muslims are unfairly being branded as terrorists…
She continued: "The bridge I have made is slowly being broken by more and more wars. Now the Iran situation is brought up and another Islamic country is under scrutiny - and the recent Heathrow scare. I guess I am needed even more now than last year to an extent because of what has happened.
"It is not for me to answer how to get people to turn away from terrorism. The politicians don’t know what to do and I am just a 19-year-old."
I wonder what has caused people to start looking askance at Muslims?
But I am sort of missing the logic. Muslims are forced to do acts of terrorism to overcome the stereotyping that they are terrorists?
Right.
Also, note that Miss Kohistani and her family received death threats — from Muslims — when she entered the pageant.
But I guess that was also Bush’s Blair’s fault.

No darlin’, stereotyping is not causing terrorism. Fundamentalist Muslims trying to kill everyone who is not a Muslim, and the “moderates” who look the other way, and the bleeding hearts who say it’s the fault of stereotyping, cause terrorism. Now go back to polishing your nails.

Taking Islamic classes per your parent’s wishes; free at the jihadism mosque.
Boob job to compete in Miss England pageant; $20,000.
Compete in a swimsuit, violating shariahic law and fatwas; $40,000 in bodyguards.
Disrespecting your country after winning the Miss England pageant; priceless.

Oh well, I guess I’ll have to give up all my stereotypical notions of Islam as a rigid, backward, blood-thirsty “religion.”

Even the more moderate Muslims have been stereotyped negatively and feel they have to take actions to prove themselves.
She keeps going on about Muslims having to prove themselves. Prove what?
If they turn to violence to prove themselves, all they do is prove what we already know:
The safest way to deal with a Muslim is over your gunsights

The logic (or lack thereof) of these people is incredible. Of course that’s what one can expect after 1000 years of subjugating their women, and eschewing science, math and the arts in favor of rote memorization of the Koran in place of “education.”

OK, I realize Miss UK is only 19 but damn, she sounds like she has been a Dhimmicrat for 40 years. What kind of twisted logic is that? I am because you say I am? WTF?
And you resort to terrorism to prove yourselves, prove yourselves what? Asshats? We know that already. Like I said, twisted Islamo-logic.
If the so called “moderate” mooselimbs would condemn or stand up against the actions of the fanatics within Islam, I would buy into some of this sh*t. But none of them are, or are ever going to, in the UK, the US or anywhere else for that matter.

“Of course that’s what one can expect after 1000 years of subjugating their women, and eschewing science, math and the arts in favor of rote memorization of the Koran in place of “education.””
I think that really is their main problem.
I was searching for images of the Islamacized “100 Classics” for that thread on that subject. But all I could find among the Muslim children’s books were books about the Qaran — or some variation on the study of Islam.
It is always topic A with them. In fact, there is no topic B.

Reading JUST the headline, I completely agree. When the Muslims quit seeing us as infidels to be invaded, slaughtered and subjugated, most terrorism would disappear.
Too bad that’s not what she meant.

Maybe she could comment on ‘Honor Killings’?
Before she becomes one?

=========
Sorry chica but it comes from the Muslims themselves…they behead and kill people and riot over cartoons and don’t integrate themselves. So STFU.

I think maybe this good mooselimb girl should see this (it’s over an hour long, but well worth the time). Unfortunately, it probably wouldn’t do anything to change her cockeyed point of view:

(I got this link from Michelle Malkin’s site today, and just spent the last 102 minutes watching it instead of working. Very sobering. It cleared up the Israel/Palestinian issue completely for me, and also scared the bejesus out of me…)

She’s so right. I had a neighbor who thought I was a bankrobber so I figured, “I might as well just go out and rob a bank.” And my crotchety old grandma thought I was on drugs, so I started shooting heroin.
