ABC's reporters: Manchester jihad massacre “likely to inflame anti-Islamic sentiment”

ABC News Worried About Potential ‘Anti-Islamic Backlash’ After Manchester Terror Attack,” by Andrew Kugle, Washington Free Beacon, May 23, 2017:

“
Two ABC News reporters were worried about a potential ‘anti-Islamic backlash’ on Tuesday morning, hours after the Manchester terrorist attack.

A suicide bomb attack killed at least 22 people and injured more than 50 others after an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. Several of the victims were children, including eight-year-old Saffie Roussos.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the assault.

ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos told network correspondent Martha Raddatz hours after the attack on “Good Morning America” that it would most likely spark anti-Islamic sentiment across the United Kingdom and Europe.

“This is also likely to inflame anti-Islamic sentiment across Britain, across Europe,” Stephanopoulos said.

Raddatz agreed and described how the attack would create a backlash against Muslims.

“It sure could, George. Manchester itself is a very multicultural city. There’s a large Muslim population with many there for generations,” Raddatz said. “So headscarfs attract little attention there. And notably, Manchester did not vote in favor of Brexit. But an attack like this, as you said, is much bigger than Manchester itself and will likely create backlash, depending on the details of this attack.”

ABC was not the only network to express concern about the potential for anti-Muslim backlash. On NBC’s “Today” show, counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke alluded to President Trump’s rhetoric on terrorism and Islam during the campaign, calling it “counterproductive.”

“That’s why the talk against Muslims in the last year in the campaign and since has been very counterproductive,” Clarke said. “The only way to solve this problem is to have everyone think they’re on the same side.”…

"the establishment media acts as if Muslims are the victims."

[Life is Golden]

Anyone who loves terrorists this much are sick fucks.

I wouldn't call it "love" i would call it a complete breakdown of understanding.

Like the guy who stands before the judge after murdering his parents and asks for mercy, because he's now an orphan

What's the disconnect here?

You can mourn for the victims & still consider the backlash - which there surely will be. What's the problem?

No, it's love. Terrorists are the only ones who hate America as much as they do.

Backlash against what?

So, a law abiding father & husband who works his ass off to run his own business, and then sees that business vandalized because of this lunatic - we're not allowed to talk about that or sympathize w/ that guy?

Seriously?

thats not what they are saying..they are warning against a "backlash" .
Richard Clark ( that weird headcase) is also warning against using "Islamic terrorism"

So where are these anti-Muslim vandalizers you mention?

Are you serious?

Every time there is a major incident like this, vandalism against Muslims spikes, as does harassment and bullying.

But it's okay. They're just a bunch of stinkin' Muslims.

They are equally as innocent as those who were murdered outright in the first place. Neither is "fair."

Thing1 cares more about muslim backlash than he does the victims of muslim terror attacks.

Of course - but we can condemn both. Obviously, the terrorist action is exponentially worse - almost unthinkable, and impossibly tragic. But we can condemn the backlash as well.

You trolled me a little too hard. That is a fucking despicable, evil lie, and you're a completely disgusting fuck to say that.

Fuck you, you fucking imbecile.
