Debbie Schlussel: Zawahiri Slur Against Obama is Common Term for Blacks Throughout Islam, Including America
The mainstream media are very upset by the non-surprising fact that in a video released yesterday, Al-Qaeda mastermind Ayman Al-Zawahiri called Barack Hussein Obama one of the "Abeed Al-Beit"--house slaves (singular would be Abed Al-Beit).
But the mainstream media ignore the fact that Blacks are regularly called the derogatory "Abed" (slave) and "Abeed" (slaves)--the equivalent to the Arabic version of the N-word--in the everyday Arabic and Muslim vernacular. I see and hear it on the streets of Dearborn and on their radio shows here. And I've noted this on my site repeatedly over the last decade.
So, tell me, why is it only an outrage when Al-Qaeda calls the Black President-elect a house slave, but not when--every single day--it's common usage in the Arab and Muslim world, including the American Arab and Muslim world, to refer to Blacks by the term "slave"?
Why is this accepted? Well, we know why. Muslims and Arabs are a political correctness-protected class. They can say and do anything, with impunity, no matter how unacceptable.
