Old tactics and new victims

While today the Ku Klux Klan as an organization is nearly (but not quite) gone, it would be a mistake to think that the KKK mentality is dead in the US. Quite the contrary. The nation’s deep seated history of racism has helped preserve an apparent permanent subset of Americans who grow up with prejudicial feelings against anyone they perceive as a threat to their version of the “American way of life”.

This background can help us understand the on-going attacks against American Muslims. Since 2010 there has been an increase in the number of attacks on American Muslims, their mosques and other property, as well as American minorities (such as Sikhs) who are regularly mistaken for Muslims. These attacks are not the work of a refurbished KKK but, nonetheless, have about them the same nature: fear of American Muslims as cultural subversives (for instance, the delusion that they seek to impose Islamic (shari’ah) law in the United States); anonymous threats of violence (via telephone, internet, and also in the form of abusive graffiti); bomb, arson and gun attacks on property; and finally assaults and murders. The Civil Rights Division of the US Justice Department has investigated over 800 such incidents in the last 11 years. Eight such attacks occurred in the first half of the present month of August 2012, including the murder of six Sikhs in Milwaukee on 5 August.

An important factor in all of this is the role of a number of campaigning politicians who go around proclaiming the threat that American Muslims supposedly represent to the country. For instance, just prior to a spate of arson attacks in the Chicago area, US Representative Joe Walsh held town hall meetings in the area where he proclaimed, “One thing I am sure of is that there are people in this country – there is a radical strain of Islam in this country, it’s not just over there –trying to kill Americans every week.” His talk was filmed and posted on YouTube. Similar rhetoric has been heard from a dozen other politicians, including Peter King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, and Michele Bachmann, who was among those running for Republican party candidate for president.
