The idea is that while ISIS or ISiL or anynof the groups are not something to completley ignore, we have members of congress and other officials using that threat to ignore other groups far more dangerous and more likely to cause death and destruction and who need more attention. Yet all we see in the news is ISIS this and ISIS that, and how every Muslim is just an enemy agent waiting to come and murder us in our beds, and therefore we have to give up all our basic rights to these people in charge. In other word it "the two minute hate" and we are being shown that the agent of Goldstein are all about us. Only now we call them abu something amal.As tracy said, we also live on a tectonically active plate where any minute we could be shaken by an earthquake, yet we don't run around "quaking" with fear about it. Doesn't mean we don't preparations made in case, but we aren't busy spending our time looking for door frames to hide under "just in case".But have they dealt with the other folks, the cartels, the Ayran Brotherhood, The KKk who is in ascendancy again because civil rights are being given to other than white Christians? No, we are supposed to accept that people like Dylan Roof can walk around with a gun and shoot people because he is feeling oppressed by black people. We are to accept that the drug cartels and gangs can come in, take over an area and do as they wish and the police will get around to it when they are ready, in the meantime they have to hunt down down musslemen terrorists hiding behind every bush.So the general feeling in the news is, if your loved one were murdered by drug cartels or white supremacists or tea-bagger militia, well at least it wasn't them horrible Muslim terrorists from Iraq who just hate us for our freedoms and who could strike at any minute.
Molly say:So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.
