Georgia State prof: ‘ISIS not coming after us,’ France attack ‘increases right-wing politics’

On CNN last evening, Georgia State professor Mia Bloom claimed that the terror group ISIS was not “coming after us,” and expressed concern that attacks like that in Nice, France yesterday increase the “degree of right-wing politics” and Islamophobia.

Bloom took issue with former CIA analyst Bruce Sexton whom she believed wasn’t aware that the majority of ISIS’s victims are Muslims.

“I do disagree with Mr. Sexton, because the fact is, and I’ll say this to you, Buck, directly, the vast majority of ISIS’ victims are Muslim. Not us. Not the West,” she said in a somewhat mocking tone.

As the Washington Free Beacon reports:

“I’m fully aware of that,” Sexton said. “No one disputes that.”

An animated Bloom took exception to Sexton earlier saying “they’re coming after us,” saying, “They’re not coming after us more than they’re coming after each other.”

“I was referring to the Islamic State, which very clearly through its external operations arm … along with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula which until recently was considered the most virulent and deadly of the jihadist terrorist organizations for this kind of external plotting, they’re continuing to do this,” he said. “Of course they’re killing Muslims.”

You seem to be one of the few who actually get it. The rest are busy demeaning, ridiculing & dismissing her statements as symbols of weak liberal thought.

On the contrary, they are perfect examples of well crafted and carefully deployed propaganda. Her message is aimed squarely at defeating the will of those who would oppose or question existing policy.

They are even moving past the point of trying to be subtle; the French PM has now entered the phase were citizens "have to get used to it".

Good idea but one big problem. Her hands won't reach her sides.

That was the moron I caught right when I switched over from Shlep - that blamed the attack on the French’s inability to integrate the cockroaches.

““They’re not coming after us more than they’re coming after each other.””

What an asinine statement. WE DON’T CARE if they kill each other! In fact we love it when they kill each other. It’s when they kill US that we care. 1000 of them to 1 of us, we only care about the one of us. GET IT MORON. (author not poster)

Whatever that twaddle means, I sure hope so.

While I disagree with the term islamophobia, I would also say it's long past time for some serious islamo-phobia and some islamo-cide too.

As for Bloom, any student at GSU should be asking for a refund.

“They’re not coming after us more than they’re coming after each other.”

So as long as they kill more muzzies than they kill Westerners, it's okay with Bloom?! Just what numbers are acceptable to her?
