The Left’s Response To Lara Logan

This is how morally bankrupt and psychotic the left has become that they label as “racists” anyone who speaks out against islamic gender apartheid, “honor” murders, stonings, floggings, rape, female genital mutilation or any of the other horrific atrocities against women which are sanctioned by islamic societies. For the modern day left, multiculturalism and anti-Americanism are paramount and those beliefs take precedence over the human rights of women and non-muslims.

We Are All Lara Logan

Thank you, Amanda Marcotte!
You have given me an opportunity to tear my hair out—yet again; indeed, you have actually driven me to “tweet” in response to your tweet.
I never tweet. You have dragged me, kicking and screaming, into the future.
Ah, Marcotte: You are too thin-skinned. Just because I’ve criticized your piece in the London Guardian about the Lara Logan tragedy does not mean that you have to insult the critic—and in so few words! Why not really take me on at length, but on the issues, not personally? Better yet: Why not consider talking to me? I’d do it.
You have expended a mere 140 characters on Twitter. This is not insulting enough. While you still credit me with being “amazing,” you also refer to me as someone who has “what was once an interesting mind.” According to your tweet, that mind has been destroyed by “racism.”
Ah, Marcotte! Where were you when I began marching for civil rights for African-Americans in the early 1960s and tutoring black children in Harlem? It’s not your fault, but you weren’t even born yet. Have you read any of my books? If you have, you cannot call me a “racist.” Read ‘em. Go on, I dare you. Read all or any of my articles about what life is like for women in the Middle East and in central Asia, read my studies about honor killings and about the work I’ve been doing on behalf of girls and women who have applied for asylum in the United States and who are in flight from being honor murdered.
These girls and women are not white women. They are all women of color. Do you believe that men of color have the right to treat “their” women barbarically? And that we are obliged to collaborate in sexism in order to be on the right side of racism?
Marcotte: Your accusation of “racism” constitutes a new and terribly fashionable McCarthyism, one that plagues our world. (Yes, I know: McCarthy was also before your time.)
Today, when real racists (think of the ethnic Arab Muslims in Sudan who have committed genocide and gender cleansing against the African Muslims and Christians in Darfur), real fascists, real totalitarians, real barbarians, want to brand, shame, delegitimize, and silence anyone who dares to expose their racism and misogyny, they simply call her a “racist.” The accusation functions as a leper’s bell around one’s neck. It is meant to keep others away, meant to warn people that if, they, too, say similar things or associate with a known “racist,” that they will also be branded as “racists.”
The accusation of “racism” is the new, politically correct version of the old accusation of “communism.” Today, those who level this accusation tend to be leftists, socialists, “progressives,” faux feminists, and real communists.
Your piece in the Guardian was written mainly to condemn, protest, the fact that CBS journalist Logan’s tragedy was something that “right wingers” might now use to make political hay. You write that “right wingers have an interest in stoking fear and loathing of Muslims.” You also write that Egyptian-style sexual harassment is common in the United States and in the West.
It is not. In 2008, the BBC reported the following statistics on sexual harassment in Egypt:
