Political Art Response to Portland’s Fabricated Terror
Fabricated Terror By Brandon Hamson Nov 18, 2010
Several days before the tree lighting terrorist plot in Portland I heard a public radio broadcast that shined a light on the growing trend of fabricated terror. It seems to me that the U.S. government and part of our population continue to associate the murderers of 9/11 with American Muslims. Because the 9/11 terrorists were Muslims, the government assumes Muslims are predisposed to terrorism and targets them. It also insists Muslims have the same freedoms as other Americans. By singling out and provoking terror solely in the Muslim community the FBI is sending mixed messages. The confusion caused is responsible for both the surge of anti-Muslim bigotry and the public’s inability to distinguish real terror from its artificial counterpart. After reading many blog posts by those concerned with the bomb threat my deepest fears materialized. I could clearly see that fake bombs translate directly into real hatred of Muslims.
This broadcast also mentioned the Muslim in the recent Newbuhrg 4 case. The man was promised a liver transplant for his brother if he conspired with the FBI. Another was offered $250,000. Others mentioned were continually pursued by the FBI despite the fact that they directly stated that they weren’t interested or had no desire to kill. This is so incredibly upsetting to me! Hundreds of Muslims entrapped and counting; this needs to stop. As I am not able to wholly state my disgust in words I instead created a piece of political art. To my shock and horror my hometown of Portland Oregon experienced its own fabricated terror incident only a few days later!
My remaining questions to whom they may concern:
What happened to the brother that needed the liver transplant? Did the FBI keep up its end of the deal?
Without the FBI how would these lower class uneducated muslims have aquired real bombs?
What right do we have to solely target muslims?
