Stereotypisierung und Hass

Als das Non-Plus-Ultra westlicher Freiheit wurden die 2005 publizierten "Mohammed-Karikaturen" von Kurt Westergaard nicht nur auf islamophoben Hass-Seiten, sondern auch in vielen Mainstream-Medien gefeiert.

Vergleicht man die wohl bekannteste dieser Karikaturen - die mit der "Turbanbombe" - mit Fotos ermordeter Mitglieder einer Sikh-Gemeinde in den USA (s. voriger Post), muss man die Weisheit dieses Hochjubelns in Frage stellen.

Als Fall von "Identitaets-Irrtum" (mistaken identity) bezeichnete ein Leser-Kommentator auf einer rechtslastigen Webseite die Ermordung der Sikhs, die von dem Moerder moeglicherweise aufgrund ihrer Turbane mit Muslims verwechselt oder zumindest "in einen Topf geworfen" wurden. -  Als waere die Mordtat irgendwie angemessen gewesen, wenn es sich tatsaechlich um Muslime gehandelt haette.

"Unser allmächtiger Gott erschuf die verschiedenen Rassen und wies jeder seinen Ort zu in seinem göttlichen Plan. Er trennte die Rassen mit Ozeanen, Gebirgen und Wüsten. Sein Gesetz ist „Rasse für Rasse“ und wir versuchen, dieses Gesetz wieder auferstehen zu lassen."

Far Right Violence: More Needs to be Done (opinion)

            By Matthew Goodwin, Associate Professor in Politics at the
            University of Nottingham, and an Associate Fellow at Chatham House

            21/8/2012- If the past year has taught us anything, it is that we
            need to do more to understand and counter far right violence. For
            much of the past decade -and for obvious reasons- policy-makers and
            the security services have focused almost exclusively on mainly one
            form of religious-based extremism. The challenge from al-Qaeda or
            'AQ'-inspired extremism led to an explosion of interest in the
            factors that push and pull some citizens (though mainly Muslims)
            along the paths to violent radicalisation. But in the process, we
            lost sight of the challenge from an alternative form of
            politically-motivated extremism. One that is preoccupied heavily
            with the perceived threat from immigration and rising diversity, and
            the alleged influence of political correctness, 'cultural marxists'
            and secretive global conspiracies.
            One of our early assumptions was that right-wing extremists are
            simply not capable of organising or enacting mass violence. This
            view was once expressed to me by a member of the security services,
            who dismissed the threat of violence from far right groups. The next
            year, Anders Behing Breivik organised and carried out the deadliest
            attack on Norwegian soil since World War Two. Then, in Germany
            authorities discovered that an underground neo-Nazi cell -the
            National Socialist Underground- had been responsible for at least a
            dozen murders. Then, in Florence, an activist connected to the
            far-right group Casa Pound shot dead two immigrant street traders in
            an unprovoked attack. Then, in Wisconsin a member of the 'white
            power' music scene and the network Hammerskin Nation went on a
            shooting spree at a Sikh Temple.
            Moreover, these recent cases are preceded by other examples. Prior
            to the terrorist attacks on September 11 2011, the deadliest attack
            on U.S. soil was committed by Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma in 1995,
            an individual with links to the militia movement and whose bomb
            resulted in 168 deaths and over 600 injuries. Only a few years
            earlier in Sweden, John Ausonius or the 'Laserman' had gone on a
            shooting spree that largely focused on immigrants and minority
            groups. Then, in 1999 the 'London nailbomber' David Copeland -who
            had been a member of the British National Party and National
            Socialist Movement- went on a thirteen-day bombing spree that
            resulted in three deaths and over 139 injuries.
            Even in the UK, since 2001 at least 17 individuals with links to the
            far right have been imprisoned after planning or committing acts of
            violence and/or terrorism. Examples include Robert Cottage, who was
            jailed after stockpiling an assortment of chemical explosives due to
            his belief that Britain would soon experience a civil war. Or Martyn
            Gilleard, who was imprisoned on terrorism offences after being found
            with home-made nail bombs, stemming from his worries over
            multiculturalism. Then, in 2009 the discovery of a network of
            right-wing extremists in England with access to an arsenal of
            weapons prompted London Metropolitan police to warn that far-right
            militants might attempt a "spectacular" attack. Nor has this been
            the only warning: security agencies in the United States, Germany
            and Denmark have in recent years issued similar warnings.
            Politicians and security officials tend to dismiss the threat of far
            right violence and its perpetrators as belonging to the loon fringe.
            They often reject the argument that -like their religious-motivated
            counterparts- those on the extreme right-wing can also be driven by
            specific goals, and pursue violence in an attempt to achieve these
            outcomes. As we learned during those cases above, these often centre
            on a belief among perpetrators that their racial or cultural
            survival is under threat from multiculturalism, that only urgent and
            radical action can fend off this threat, and that they have a moral
            obligation to engage in violence in order to 'defend' or 'save'
            their wider group from these threats.
            But at the same time -and in contrast to other forms of extremism-
            our collective evidence base on right-wing extremist violence is
            inadequate and under-developed. This was most recently expressed by
            the Home Affairs Select Committee on the Roots of Violent
            Radicalisation, which noted how in the UK we have a tendency to only
            'pay lip service' to the extreme right. Put simply, we know a lot
            about AQ-inspired terrorism but very little about the dynamics of
            violence on the extreme right-wing. This is one reason why we
            launched the Extremis Project: a platform to help close the gap
            between those who undertake research, and those who are on the
            front-line of policy, security and politics. By gathering together
            independent, objective and evidence-based analysis, and a roster of
            international experts, the Project is intended as a key resource for
            those who research, monitor, campaign and seek to counter extremism.
            Only by talking together can we respond to the challenges posed by
            extremisms.
