宗教とテロリズムとどう関係するのか？昨今はテロ、イスラム教徒のパターンが目立つ。しかしドイツのフライト９５２５の副操縦士はイスラム教徒ではなかった。おそらくキリスト教徒の白人？鬱に陥った個が１５０人近くの人間の殺人に及ぶ事実があったのだ。テロと宗教を結びつける世相があるという一例である。
Flight 9525 Crash: What’s Religion Got To Do with It? German Co-Pilot as Terrorist
Once it became clear that Andreas Lubitz, 28, deliberately crashed Germanwings Flight 9525, a reporter immediately asked “what was his religion?” (Parent company Lufthansa said they didn’t know). Authorities said there was no evidence it was “terrorism.”
Lubitz is from Rhineland-Palatinate, known for its wine-growing and pharmaceuticals. It is roughly 2/5s Roman Catholic and a third Lutheran. A fourth of its people don’t really care about religion one way or another.
Why in the world would his religion be relevant? If he did crash the plane on purpose then presumably he was depressed and wanted not only to commit suicide but also to be a mass murderer. You could understand how a depressed person with low self-esteem might think it ego-boosting to determine the fate of so many others.
It isn’t political terrorism, likely, but certainly it was a terroristic act of killing.政治テロではなかったが、殺害のテロ的行為だった。
But we know why they asked. It was out of bigotry against Muslims, probing whether another one had gone postal. The subtext is that white Christians don’t go off the deep end, even though obviously they do, in large numbers. It isn’t a logical question about Andreas Lubitz from Rhineland-Palatinate. Zeynep Tufekci tweeted,キリスト教徒の白人はそんな事しないのステレオタイプの世論がある。
Maybe I need to add some more principles to my Top Ten differences between White Terrorists and Others, like “terrorism is only ruled out when the whiteness of the perp can be firmly established.”白人テロリストとその他の者たちの違いーー犯罪者が白人であることが確証されたら、テロリズムが除外される。
