Western Media’s Hypocrisy vis-à-vis Terrorism and Terrorists

While conscientious people the world over, are still reeling from the shock of the ghastly video-game-like depiction of last Friday’s mass massacre of 49 Muslim worshippers in a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, by a white racist terrorist trying to justify his criminal action as campaign against what he called "invaders”, another act of terrorism occurred on the other side of the world in Britain when in east London a Muslim was brutally hit on his head with a hammer on late Friday by an ultra-rightist.
Though the British police which arrived late on the scene after the attackers had fled, claims of no connection between these two terrorist attacks, the mainstream western media, which is quick to label acts of violence by so-called Muslims as ‘Islamic or jihadi terrorism’, has again resorted to hypocrisy by refraining to use word "terrorist” for both the Christchurch and London attacks on Muslims – let alone the words "Christian or Crusader terrorism”.
Moreover, the white supremacists, inspired by the criminal KKK gangs and of late by the likes of such demagogues as the racist US president, Donald Trump –the grandson of a German immigrant who opposes the right of the Amerindians of Mexico to migrate north from Mexico – claim that Muslims and coloured migrants have occupied their homelands.
It is an absurd claim, in view of the fact that the Americas are still under the occupation of the descendants of the white-skinned invaders from Europe, whose genocidal policies almost wiped out the native Amerindians, and have reduced to modern day slavery the black-skinned people whose ancestors were kidnapped from Africa and forced to work on plantations in the New World.
So, who are the real occupiers? Are the whites who rule Australia and New Zealand the original inhabitants of these lands, or are occupiers and descendants of invaders who slaughtered the Aborigines and the Maoris?
It is interesting to note that today March 17 happens to be the 159th anniversary of the First Taranaki War that occurred in New Zealand between the British invaders and the indigenous Maori people. It was a major phase of the wars waged by the uninvited white people of Europe over the sovereignty of North Island and lasted for a year.
It was sparked by a dispute between the British occupiers and Maori landowners over sale of a property at Waitara, and spread throughout the region. The British brought more than 3,500 troops from Australia, as well as volunteer forces to massacre the original inhabitants of New Zealand.
In view of these undeniable facts, neither the Muslims living in the Americas, Australia and New Zealand could be called uninvited immigrants nor the people of yellow, brown, and black skin, could be called invaders.
The real terrorists and racists are the white supremacists and the Zionists, as well as Christian Zionists, along with their stooges the Takfiris, Daesh, al-Qa’eda, Wahhabis and so on, who have no connection to Islam, and are the creation of the imperialists.
Thus, the recent wave of anti-Muslim terrorism, whether in New Zealand or in Britain, which some Arab regimes have been quick to condemn, are in fact extension of their own state terrorism in Yemen, Bahrain, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Palestine – where racist criminals like the Zionists (illegal migrants from eastern Europe) are indulging in genocide against the sons of the soil.
