New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof warns "we have to be very, very careful not to engage in religious profiling and to recognize that one can't blame 1.6 billion adherents of this vast and complex religion."
"One can't blame this event on all of them. One has to acknowledge that the Taliban folks who is shot Malala [Yousafzai] are one element of Islam and Malala herself is another. And this is a religion that contains multitudes," Kristof said Thursday afternoon on CNN.
Kristof also warned of society's tendacy to "otherize" people.
"I think we have a tendency to otherize people, if you will, of a different race, a different religion, a different ethnicity and then to perceive events into a narrative of threat and this is a very natural human thing," Kristol said. "And I must say when I travel around the Mideast, I sit down in mosques and hear clerics concoct these extraordinary sort of paranoid visions of America because every data point that they get plugs into this stereotype that they have and they otherize us. I think we really, really have to be careful not to respond to the extraordinary intolerance of these jihadis with our own intolerance."

You have to read this...
It’s just a little hard not to “otherize” people who are trying to shoot, bomb, or decapitate you, and people who are in open sympathy with them.
Islam is NOT an advance in Western Civ...
Is there any doubt that Obama is a Muslim?
RE: “Have To Be Careful Not To Respond To Intolerance of Jihadis With Our Own Intolerance”
So, he wants us to tolerate the intolerant?
Last I checked, telling Islamofascists that Freedom of Speech is absolute isn’t intolerance...unless you’re a spineless politician who changes stripes depending on what gets you the most votes.
You can always tell when a lefty is not writing about white conservatives; he bleats the word “tolerance” a lot.
this vast and complex religion.”
AHAHAHAHAHA he had to say something MEANINGFUL and opted for making something up out of whole cloth
vast and complex...My Read End!
Islam hasn’t been an advance for any civilization it has conquered. There isn’t a place on Earth that wouldn’t be better off had Islam never shown up.
Next time the bigots at the Times harangue Texans, Southerners, or Conservatives, they should be accused of “Otherizing.” They do it all the time.
Tolerance, he says...I don’t think that word means what you think it means. ..
“We “Have To Be Careful Not To Respond To Intolerance of Jihadis With Our Own Intolerance”.......
Being TOO passive is what has gotten us into this mess, Its high time we start responding ten fold.
And the avalanche of appeasement begins...
Good grief, it won’t be until they’re looking down the barrel of an AK held by a muzzie that they realize just how stupid they were...
9/11 did not phase him a bit.
Mr. Kristof, that sounds nice ... but will you EVER respond in any meaningful fashion to eliminate the murderous IslamoNazi terrorist (and invasion) threat?
“”we have to be very, very careful not to engage in religious profiling and to recognize that one can’t blame 1.6 billion adherents of this vast and complex religion.” “
“We” - speak for yourself, Muslim Groveler.
Another follower of the “Last to be beheaded” strategy.
The less said the better. Kristof is part of the same problem.
“The Left is tripping over itself trying to defend the Muzzies.”
The Muslims are the Commnists foot soldiers in the war against liberty and freedom.
Eventually these two ideologies will have to fight each other. But not until the US and Israel are gone. And Iran having a bomb takes care of Israel.
