Michael Lucas Is Wearing His Islamophobia On His Sleeve. Want a Lick?

lucaspurple

Has Michael Lucas ever tried being politically correct? Didn’t think so. This is a guy who, after all, has sex with identical twins at the same time. So it’s a little amusing to see the porn entrepreneur begin his latest Middle East manifesto with a note reminding readers “this is not written to be politically correct.” But!: “This is not written to spark controversy. This is written by the power of facts, by the force of reason and for the sake of reality. I am not a journalist; I am not a politician so I don’t have to lie. Sometime political correctness becomes a poison.” Uh. Oh.

Lucas says he speaks so openly because, growing up in Russia, he wasn’t afforded free speech rights. Which is why he now feels free to do things like brand gay Palestine sympathizers as anti-Semitic. But this time around, he’s going after one of his other pet demographics: Muslims. The hook? The Ft. Hood shooter.

You know where this is going.

Thirteen of our country’s soldiers were killed by their “comrade.” Sons, a daughter, and a mother-to-be had their lives cut short by one of their “own.” Now let’s please put aside cowardly taboos and call out what has actually occurred. He is a Muslim and he did what Muslims do. Meanwhile, we are doing what we always do when they kill: finding excuses for their actions.

Whenever Muslims commit what to the normal eye looks like a massacre, our media mobilizes panels of psychiatrists, human rights organizers, professors, and officials to “explain” why what happened is not what it looks like. Why the murderers are actually the victims. But we can not let these legions of manipulators brainwash us. We can not let them confuse us. We can not let our own media and government become a mosque that takes control of our minds. Otherwise, we will not be better than Muslims because we will lose our ability to think for ourselves and stop making our own decisions. We should not let them make us feel guilty for recognizing the obvious. We should not allow them to force pity for a murderer, as the murderer did not feel any pity for his victims. We must stay to the facts; the truth and not let the media distract us and take us away from the main point.

[...] It is incredibly disrespectful to tell your nation not to jump to conclusions—when conclusions are due. In 2001 we lived through the biggest attack on America. Now it’s the biggest attack on a U.S. army base. The conclusion is due since we know this is not an isolated event. This is a logical continuation of tactics that these monsters have employed for decades. Terrorizing us, killings us, making us spend billions on security, etc. The connection and conclusion are clear. Islam is the root of the problem. And not to admit it will be suicide of reason.

We don’t need to know all the trivial details of the killer’s life. We know all too well what moves these Koran devotees. These barbarians are changing their tactics—from explosive belts to plane hijackings to creating dirty bombs, to now infiltrating the army. But the motivation remains the same. It is the dedication to the idea that is advocated in Koran—to kill the “non believers,” to wipe out any civilization that is not subjugated to Islam.

I don’t need further evidence other than Nidal Malik Hasan’s actions. He killed his enemy, the Americans, as a result of Muslims’ beliefs. One of the last things this barbarian did before going on his killing spree was go to his neighbors, people he rarely spoke to, and give them copies of the Koran. Well, how thoughtful, sir, to pass on your manuscript of murder, but I hope those neighbors burned this book for what it’s worth.

The first thing the Muslim community says when these acts of brutal terror occur is that it is only extreme Islamic fanatics who do this. But wait one second: this is simply not true. All Muslims at the Silver Spring Islamic Center, where the gunman worshiped, said that he was just like the rest of the community. His fellow worshipers said he was calm, that he didn’t stick out or make waves, he prayed there and went on his way. Yes, very benign and easy going just like the rest. So no it is not just the “fanatic” followers of Islam who perform these acts of terror. Any and every ordinary worshiper is capable of these crimes. So let’s take away their capability to do harm.

All of which brings Lucas to conclude:

It is simple–Muslims should not be allowed to serve in the military. You can not rightly be in the U.S. military and also believe in the Koran. What the US military is called to defend and what the Koran prescribes are based on contradictory sets of beliefs. If you are a Muslim then you believe in the Koran and you are loyal to Allah and Allah only. Hasan is already a hero in the Muslim world, a role model for other terrorists, for those who praise Allah and will try to follow in his footsteps.

And while we won’t get into a debate about what it means to be Muslim, we would like to propose this: Aren’t there folks out there who claim their hatred, violence, and murder is based in Christian Scripture? Of course. But do we go around denigrating all Christians? Or insisting they don’t serve in the military?

We hate blanket statements about entire groups of people. Mostly because they’re usually inaccurate, but also because we bitch, moan, and rail against anyone who dares make a blanket statement about queers.

      I’m so sick of blatant racism hiding behind “I’m not trying to be politically correct.” It’s not about being PC on un-PC, it’s about what you’re saying. And yes, your speech is free, but that doesn’t mean you get to say it and that everyone is supposed to suspend their own free speech.

      If the Fort Hood killer was operating as an Islamic extremist and killed for his religion, I have no doubt that will be the official explanation and there is no need to sugar-coat it. But to say this is what Muslims do is a joke. If all Muslims were murderers, we’d all be dead. Christians murder in the name of their religion, too, ALL THE TIME. Both murder and wage war and kill. And trust me, if Christians were treated like Muslims are by Israel, you might see some insane terrorists acting on behalf of the Bible as well.

      NONE of that justifies or should engender sympathy in any way for what the Fort Hood shooter or any terrorist does. But Lucas despises Muslims, every last one of them, and his point of view is warped by his bigotry.

      unsafe sex and a terrifying heroin epidemic is causing HIV to swell among Russians and in our globalized world that means Russians are contributing more than their fair share of new and undetected infections.

      “I’m so sick of blatant racism hiding behind “I’m not trying to be politically correct.”"

      I’m ten times as sick of the blatant ignorance of the simple fact that he did what his religion commanded him to do. 9/11 was a religious act in the minds of the attackers, as is every terrorist act. They justify it in the name of Allah.

      And Islam is not a race. It is a religion that is basically fundamentalist Christianity on steroids. If a Christian did this, I’d be the first to call for banning Christians from the military.

      “EVERY terrorist is a Muslim”

      Not every terrorist. We still have some homegrown Christian terrorists, but they don’t use bullets. They use ballots.

      Lucas’ observation is not far removed from David Brooks’ Op-Ed article published in The New York Times on Nov 9, 2009.

      http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/10/opinion/10brooks.html?_r=1&th&emc=th

      Brooks wrote:
      “A shroud of political correctness settled over the conversation…. This response was understandable. It’s important to tamp down vengeful hatreds in moments of passion. But it was also patronizing…. Worse, it absolved Hasan — before the real evidence was in — of his responsibility…. And evidence is now mounting to suggest he chose the extremist War on Islam narrative that so often leads to murderous results.

      The conversation in the first few days … ignored the fact that the war narrative of the struggle against Islam is the central feature of American foreign policy. It ignored the fact that this narrative can be embraced by a self-radicalizing individual in the U.S. as much as by groups in Tehran, Gaza or Kandahar.

      It denied, before the evidence was in, the possibility of evil. It sought to reduce a heinous act to social maladjustment. It wasn’t the reaction of a morally or politically serious nation.”

      As to the Queerty writer’s comment on evil based upon Christian scripture, how many Christians blow themselves up on a public bus shouting “God is Great?” How many “Christian” murderers are celebrated as heros by the Christian community? How many Christian communities pass out candy to chidren to celebrate a murder or mass murder? Virtually every act of violence claimed to be justified by “Christian Scripture” is universally condemed by all. Unfortunately, such is not the case when the murderer shouts “Allah Akbar.”

      As Mr. Brooks wrote, please don’t be patronizing.

      Mr. Lucas overstates, but his point was echoed in the New York Times the other day in a column by David Brooks:

      “Public commentators assumed the air of kindergarten teachers who had to protect their children from thinking certain impermissible and intolerant thoughts. If public commentary wasn’t carefully policed, the assumption seemed to be, then the great mass of unwashed yahoos in Middle America would go off on a racist rampage.

      Worse, it absolved Hasan — before the real evidence was in — of his responsibility. He didn’t have the choice to be lonely or unhappy. But he did have a choice over what story to build out of those circumstances. And evidence is now mounting to suggest he chose the extremist War on Islam narrative that so often leads to murderous results.”

      Greg, get a grip. Every ethnic group has some ‘”terrorists” amongst them; therefore the Muslims are just another group among the rest. Do you know about the 450 year long Spanish Inquisition? Well, it was 450 years of “christians” killing Muslims. And these stories go on, an on throughout the history of this planet’s history. (Also, during the Spanish Inquisition, they killed almost anyone that would not pledge to live the christian way.)

      First of all, if I may be so bold and not fall in line with typical knee-jerk liberalism, the notion that we don’t attack Christians with blanket statements is false. Queerty has certainly done it with Mormons, and many of use have openly challenged the Church to be more open, more honest, more representative, less hateful. It is notable that holy wars are not declared against us for doing so. (Case in point The men over at South park have not been murdered for their pointed comments about the Christian Church … the same WOULD NOT BE TRUE were they to attack the Muslim faith.)

      BUT if any of you would do a little more research into Islam you might get your head out of your butts and realize that it is not a small fringe of radical Islamists that threaten the lives of many of us (from gays to women to Jews to westerners in general). We are not talking about a few crazy people, but a very large, and very organized cult which is slipping between the cracks because an honest debate about Muslim beliefs (like the honest debate we all seem okay having about Christianity) isn’t taking place.

      Gays are being executed for being gay. Lynch mobs (in the thousands) cried for the death penalty of a school teacher who dared allow her kids to name a teddy bear Mohammed. Schools that would dare educate women are being bombed. This is not a small number of believers, but a large segment of the Muslim community.

      In Canada we have a couple great Muslim organizations that are moderate to liberal in perspective. They are both western AND followers of Islam. AND they have taken part in many debates against the radical movement that is corrupting and controlling their faith. Even they have accused the west (ie: us!) of refusing to take part in an honest and open discussion about how a very large radical element threatens the freedom of us all.

      Oh wait, we’ll have an honest discussion when it’s too late. Typical.

      (Political correctness, by the way, is censorship from the left. Interesting that both sides use similar tools to limit open discussions on important issues.)

      Um, Peter, you had to go back to the Spanish Inquisition to make your point? Seriously? Nothing more recent?

      Listen, not all Muslims are terrorists. And in recent memory not all terrorist acts were undertaken by Muslims (Germany under Hitler? Japanese kamikaze fighters? Bush in Iraq?). BUT to then say that because terrorism exists beyond the Muslim faith, we don’t need to address the very real, and very much indoctrinated, terrorist element within the Muslim faith, is silly and misguided.

      Fact: the Muslim holy books are filled with a call to arms against non-believers. Fact: Imams are inciting hatred in mosques throughout the world (not just in one or two countries, or one or two mosuqes). Fact: people are being killed around the world for exercising free speech which is critical of Islam (ex: Danish cartoonists. And don’t forget the calls for the murder of Rushdie over the Satanic Verses, or my previous reference to the school teacher who named a teddy bear Mohammed.)

      This issue is: how do we address a very large segment of Islam that is bent on destroying the world we know and love. How do we engage the liberal or moderate minded Muslims to feel safe speaking out against those who are perverting their religion? How do we finally start treating a religion that controls so many people like we do Christianity?

      If we can take Christians to task for bad behaviour, why are we considered bigots for doing the same to Islam?

      Radical Islam is everything I always thought so-called liberals hated: it is anti-semitic, it is misogynistic, it is homophobic, and it is bellicose.

      Who celebrated the 9/11 attacks in the streets? Whose religious text says slay the nonbelievers? Whose religion, when allowed to control a nation, results in it becoming a despotism?

      Pointing out the bigoted behavior of a minority is not bigotry. I’m not calling for a Holocaust or another Spanish Inquisition. But we need to stop pretending all cultures and belief systems are equal. The whole “who are we to judge” mentality is strangling the free expression of ideas and has led us to this point. We attack Christians who oppose gay marriage at the drop of a hat, but when Muslims who oppose gay BREATHING actually kill people, you turn into a Sunday School teacher wagging your finger.

      BTW, Happy Veteran’s Day. Today we honor those who defended us against scum like this. Whether they be Redcoats, Confederates, the Kaiser, Nazis, Communists, or Jihadists.

      Yep, leave it to some of Queerty’s readers to let loose with their bigotry.

      The same generalized hatred used against Muslims is the same that spews forth from anti-gay forces who say gays oppress them, terrorize them, and want to destroy them.

      As for Christians not being the source of terrorism, are you people nuts? Take your butts over to Northern Ireland and look around there. Ask whether the Catholics and Protestants haven’t butchered each other senselessly for generations.

      Most of Great Britain’s anti-terrorism laws were passed because of IRA terrorism.

      Similarly, you can fly over to Germany or Italy and read about the Red/Communist terrorist groups of the 1970s/1980s.

      Terrorists come in all shapes, colors, religions, etc.

      Wasn’t it a supposed Christian, Eric Rudolph, who blew up a gay bar?

      No, we wouldn’t want facts to get in the way of chance to feel superior.

      Leave it to gay men who are oppressed, demonized and relegated to second class citizenship to be just as brutally bigoted against another group. As your rights are taken away or denied to you, you jump on the bandwagon to generalize and dehumanize a large group of Americans, dismissing their individuality as easily as other do yours.

      Inane talk about knee-jerk liberalism and political correctness are thrown out with in the same facile manners that anti-gay bigots do when discussing gay rights! Irony? Yep! Pathetic? Definitely!

      True, the Koran has violent elements, but so does other sacred texts.
      My personal opinion is that each case should be reviewed individually, rather than to enforce a sweeping ban on all Muslims. However, i believe it is necessary to be cautious, as with any other group holding beliefs and values that may collide with those of the U.S. Army.

      However, I must emphasize that Lucas has the full right to speak and express himself. the opening lines of the above text, in which Lucas’ occupation is being used cynically, is unacceptable and may even be considered racist. I think that Lucas shares his views in an intelligent and rreasoned way, and has a real intention to do good. he writes what he believes in, and you can tell that he is committed to the general interest. you may not always agree with him, but you should never rule out a place for open and free discussion.

      I forget the exact year this past decade, but our “allies” Saudi Arabia watched a school burn down with hundreds of young girls, because the act of saving their lives was not as important as saving the boys. They sacrificed 15 of their own daughters and sisters because these young girls couldn’t access their headscarves cause they were either ON FIRE or the room their burkhas were in couldn’t be accessed because of the FIRE. That is not an extremist organization such as the Taliban, Al Qaida, Hamas, etc. This was the Saudi Arabian Educational Ministry, Police Department and Fire Department that allowed this to happen. They even beat up the young girls who tried to escape with their lives because they did not have the proper clothing attire on, as many as THREE girls were thrown back into the burning scjool building because of this religious “fashion faux pas.” This is an undeniable, indisputable fact.

      According to Wikipedia (an online history book) he became a Sunni Muslim. Not making anything up. It is you that needs an education.

      “After leaving the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X became a Sunni Muslim and made a pilgrimage to Mecca, after which he disavowed racism. He traveled extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East. He founded Muslim Mosque, Inc., a religious organization, and the secular, black nationalist Organization of Afro-American Unity. Less than a year after he left the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X was assassinated while giving a speech in New York.”

      @44 Alan:

      “European countries are fighting Muslims much harder than US.”

      That’s because Muslims in Europe are already encroaching on the Civil Rights of gays and demanding special treatment because that hate manual called the Koran demands it. And who do you think is responsible for the spike in gay bashings in Europe? Unassimilated Muslim immigrants living on the dole. They do it for the same reason as any other terrorist: their God (whom, if he exists, is probably the Devil in disguise) made them do it. The same people here bitching about “Islamophobia” are the same who would defend Palestinazi war criminals and justify their illegal occupation of Israel (that’s right, THEY are the ones illegally occupying the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and THEY are the ones who need to leave).

      Stop this genocidal homophobic death cult! Michael Lucas for President!

      Have you no shame? You obviously have no understanding of facts or truth unless you want to take snippets of them create a falsehood.

      From the Wikipedia article you cited, it says, “After leaving the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X became a Sunni Muslim and made a pilgrimage to Mecca, after which he disavowed racism.”

      How much plainer can it get? Malcolm X. became Malcolm Shabazz. He became a Sunni Muslim and REJECTED all racial separatism!

      All your crap about supposedly evil black Sunni Muslims is B.S.

      Again, from the Wikipedia article: “Malcolm X said the trip allowed him to see Muslims of different races interacting as equals. He came to believe that Islam could be the means by which racial problems could be overcome.[115]”

      You really are an ignorant, racist who just tried to pull a fast one here.

      David Alex Nahmod,

      “Every single Muslim nation, bar none, has a policy of violence towards it’s LGBT citizens.
      That’s the truth.”

      And, you got that fact from where? And, non-Muslim countries don’t use or promote violence or discrimination against LGBT people? Really?

      So, all those stories about the president of Poland denigrating gays never happened?

      The recent cancellation of the pride parades in Serbia because the government couldn’t protect gays from violence never happened?

      The anti-gay legislation in Lithuania that bars publication of any seemingly pro-gay literature never happened?

      And, wasn’t it up until 2003 that anti-gay sodomy laws were legal and enforced in parts of the U.S.?

      The reality is that many Muslim countries are only 2 generations behind the U.S. State sponsored violence against gays in the U.S. was part of our recent history. The Stonewall riots happened just a few decades ago. Eastern Europe still has very violent, anti-gay sentiment.

      Police in the U.S. are constantly cited for anti-gay violence or subjective enforcement of the laws: Houston saw police raid a bar and brutalize patrons; Chicago saw a police beat up gays and wrongly arrest gays of drunk driving; Atlanta saw police engage in a brutal bar raid; and NYC saw police falsely arrest gay men on trumped up prostitution charges. But the list goes on..

      So, how does it feel to be a second class citizen in the U.S.? You know that your butt can still be fired in most states in the U.S. for being gay. You can be denied housing for being gay. You can’t be married and receive benefits that heterosexuals receive.

      Are there anti-gay forces in the Muslim world. Yes. But the rest of the world isn’t so rosy for gays.

      Face facts. There are plenty of people in the U.S. who hate gays and would be happy if GLBT disappeared into the wood works. They don’t consider you to be anything other than a pervert, undeserving of human rights.

      What rights you have as a GLBT person in the U.S. have only been in existence for a single generation. Rights that were gained in one year are easily taken away, like in California and Maine.

      So, again, most Muslim countries probably offer little protections for GLBT people. Some governments have strictly anti-gay legislation or allow for police action against GLBT people.

      But similar bias and laws exist in non-Muslim countries. Try to be an out gay man in Russia or other Eastern European countries. Not pretty.

      According to Shlomo Sand, most Western Jews are not a separate race with genetic roots in the Middle East, but are white, European converts to Judaism. As such, there is no reason for them to colonize Israel and fashion it into a “Jewish State”. It ought to be an Israeli state made up of Israelis of any religion. The Jewish defense is to point a finger at all the Islamic states in the area and say “THEY DO IT TOO!” But in doing so they’re consciously and proudly following a bad example. Instead, they should SET a good example for the Middle East. They should be above that. But this is not a discussion for a site dealing with Queer issues.

      Because Malcolm X claimed he was no longer racists the last 6 months of his life says nothing. He sure did alot of hate mongering years before influencing many prisoners and young people into hatred. Sunni’s have a habit of being unstable, peaceful one day joining up with Al Queda the next. It’s the schizoid nature of what is written in the Qur’an and hadith (words of Mohammed).

      @48: That is the most naive thing I’ve ever heard. Do you really think there are no non-Jews in Israel? There are Muslims and Christians there. Living freer than “Palestinians” in their own stolen (by them from Israel) land.

      And the sickening anti-semitism of stasis and Nazis like Bill Perdue (who probably hates Israel because they realized socialism wasn’t working out for them, that and the fact that he’s the love child of Joseph Stalin and Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS) is why a Jewish state (which does NOT, I repeat, does NOT, discriminate against religious minorities, who in fact even have representation in the Knesset) is needed. French Jews have to flee their home land because of harassment, repression and violence from unassimilated Muslim immigrants.

      A phobia is an irrational fear. I distrust them for very rational reasons:

      1. I’m gay, and they want to kill gays.
      2. I’m Jewish, and they want to kill Jews.
      3. The Koran’s command to slay the nonbeliever, which is interpreted literally by many of them.

      I and others like me would be the first to go if they got their way. Even if I were a non-practicing Jew that wouldn’t stop them, just like it didn’t stop their buddy Hitler (don’t believe me? read this: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/muftihit.html).

      America has invaded the Middle East in the name of nationalism. National ideologies can change. The Quran cannot:

      [9:12] Fight the disbelievers! Allah is on your side; he will give you victory.

      [2:191] Kill disbelievers wherever you find them.

      [9:39] If you refuse to fight, Allah will afflict you with a painful doom.

      [8:39] And fight them until there is no more Fitnah and the religion will all be for Allah alone.

      um…how is it that Lucas is an Islamophobe just because he relates the facts about this muslim terrorist, unpleasant as they are? In just about every terror instance, the perpetrators will quite proudly proclaim Islam and jihad as their motivation…as this one has already, indirectly and will, during his trial. (excellent that texas still has capital punishment). Common sense trumps political correctness, esp when it could save lives. Islam offends me as a gay man; why the hell should I care if some of its moderate mainstreet are offended? I suspect that instead they consitute a silent and approving majority otherwise their voices should have drowned out the extremists by now. Yeah there’s one pretty cool lesbian- http://www.irshadmanji.com/im-debating-islam-and-fort-hood speaking out and she ain’t afraid to call a spade a spade regarding Fort Hood….but Lucas is a Jew so I guess by doing the same, its islamophobic? Well then consider me Islamophobic…even tho I’m neither jew nor pornographer…just some gay guy in Toronto who is getting pretty sick of witnessing the proliferation of women with garbage bags over their heads and the hateful preachings of local imams. Its going nowhere good….and it won’t help further gay rights– quite the opposite in fact…the more ‘tolerance’ and latitude we give immigrant muslims in North America, the more empowered they will be to lash back at gays…and women…and jews.

      You made the best case for the War on Terror just by quoting that Middle Eastern proto-”Mein Kampf” called the Koran.

      Christianity and Judaism changed; when was the last time a human sacrifice was performed at a church or synagogue?

      @53 Marc Toronto:

      I just want to thank you for your honesty before you get prosecuted under Canada’s hate speech laws (which protect Muslim hate speech).

      Gays, women and Jews have blindly supported the left for too fucking long, while they coddle our Islamofascist enemies, support Palestinazis, and refuse to confront the bigotry inherent in the Islamic faith.

      Attmay,

      Yes. Christianity and Judaism have changed for secular reasons. But in a society where islam is enforced by government, there can be no progress, and evidently there hasn’t been. Do you know what terrorists shout after they perform a terrorist act? They shout “Allah akbar!”. Do you know what other muslims do when they see these terrorist acts committed in the name of their god? Either of the following: a) NOTHING or b) They “stand by their muslim brothers and sisters”. Christianity is backward. Islam is a damn sight worse. It’s religion. Please open your eyes.
