Another fool takes everything out of context

The insane moonbat Andrew Belonsky recently wrote another laughable item where he took more than a few details out of context about the problems with white terrorists. He begins by asking:
Will the investigation into Aryan Nation leader August B. Kreis III saying he wanted to join al-Qaeda prove to conservatives that white people can be terrorists too?
Umm, since when didn't any conservatives think whites could be terrorists? The Arabs are white, aren't they? It's not whites we're concerned about, it's Islamofascists.
Right wingers were enraged when Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a report in 2009 warning that homegrown extremism, including disgruntled veterans, pose a terror threat.

“The department is engaging in political and ideological profiling of people who fought to keep our country safe from terrorism, uphold our nation’s immigration laws, and protect our constitutional right to keep and bear arms,” said Florida Rep. Gus Bilirakis at the time.

And those critics were again incensed when a Homeland Security PSA depicted white people as terrorists, and again when President Obama said this month that lone wolves like Norway shooter Anders Behring Breivik are a bigger threat than Al-Qaeda.
Sigh. He still does not get it, and prefers to obfuscate many details. The problem is that they depicted non-Muslims as such. And then, when that part does come up:
“The establishment is shifting gears. Where once we were all told to be afraid of Muslim bogeymen with bombs hidden in their turbans. Now we’re told that it’s white people who are the dangerous bunch,” wrote conservative blogger Grant J. Kidney of Obama’s remarks.

“If you read between the lines, our current president wants to shift the fear. He wants a little smoke and mirrors, and make you think the enemy is a white dude driving a pick up, wearing blue jeans, ball cap, has an NRA sticker, attends a local Baptist church, reads a King James Version Bible, votes republican,” opined one reader at Glenn Beck’s website, ‘The Blaze.’

Such reactions are more than just partisan political opposition. They stem from the stubborn fact that many people refuse to believe that Americans, particularly white people, can be terrorists. That’s why Peter King willfully ignored homegrown terrorism during his divisive congressional hearings on “Muslim radicalization.”
So he exploited the possibly flawed argument of one blogger for the sake of confusing everything. As a matter of fact, nobody who's a realist thinks it's impossible. After all, we had the Weather Underground and Bill Ayers at one time to worry about, and even today, as it so happens, it's sadly possible. What we on the right have a problem with is leftists like Belonsky with selective ideas of who counts as a terrorist. And he's gone repeatedly out of his way to play apologist.
Yet, we know white people indeed be terrorists: Oklahoma City bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were white, as is Cody Crawford, the man accused of torching an Oregon mosque, and so too is an Aryan Nation leader named August B. Kreis III.
But what Belonsky doubtless doesn't want anybody to know is that McVeigh may have had connections with a shady Iraqi named Hussein al-Hussaini, who was spotted with McVeigh several times.
Kreis is currently being investigated for “[stating] that he and members of his movement desired to join al-Qaeda in its Jihad against a United States government,” according to the FBI.

Why would a white supremacist want to team up with a fundamentalist Islamic group comprised mostly of Arabs? Because terrorism and its destructive goals know no color: they are one and the same, proving that terrorists come in many shapes, sizes, nationalities and religions.
Uh, excuse me, but most alleged "Christian" terrorists don't act in the name of their religion, which would have to be a violation of Jesus' statement "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". On the other hand, what would Belonsky have to say about a religion whose "holy scriptures" include such abominations as these?
"Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens..." -- 47:4
More at the link, which makes a very worthy case. But I guess none of that matters to Belonsky.

That said, it would seem as though young master Belonsky is implying that Arabs aren't white, which is simply not so. They are white, regardless of whether they're darker or lighter complected. I wonder if Belonsky, who's probably Polish, would go so far as to say that Poles aren't white or even Caucasian? There's an irony here, that someone who goes out of his way to apologize for jihadists is yet willing to insult the main race adhering to Islam, by implying they're not white. Ahem. Arabs are white and saying they're not is insulting and isn't helping one bit. Nor is obscuring the simple answer to why a "white supremacist" would want to join jihadists: because he agrees with their ideology. That's what the nazis Kreis worships did too, and why they collaborated with monsters like Haj-Amin el-Husseini.

It's not a matter of race, but rather, of ideology and religion.
