Some time back, we noted that an anti-Muslim issue of WorldNetDaily’s sparsely read Whistleblower magazine featured an article by WND managing editor David Kupelian titled “The Islamic zombie apocalypse.” WND has finally gotten around to publishing Kupelian’s article on WND proper. And, well, it’s pretty lame.
First of all, Kupelian doesn’t even use the term” Islamic zombie apocalypse” in his article at all — it’s just a clickbait headline come-on.
Kupelian engages in his usual rote liberal-bashing, blaming “infiltration, subversion and corruption of every single American institution by what we cryptically call ‘the left'” for the “spiritual vacuum” of American culture and “all but eliminating the former Christian character of this nation’s culture.” As a good anti-Muslim, Kupelian can’t be bothered to make any meaningful distinction between the vast majority of peaceful Muslims and violent extremists using Islam, even accusing Muslims of being complicit with the violence: “Unfortunately, a disturbing number of Muslims in America, while not necessarily supportive of terrorism, are nevertheless in agreement with the end result desired by Islamic terrorists. And that is, the ultimate supremacy of Islam over the entire world and the imposition of Shariah law everywhere.” He even blames the film “Avatar” for creating “distraught and disillusioned young people ripe for transition to a radically different reality,” which somehow equates in Kupelian’s mind to joining ISIS.
Kupelian then ironically laments that ISIS sympathizers and genocide perpetrators don’t see their victims as human. Ironic, because Kupelian is a key factor in dehumanizing Barack Obama for the past eight years — not just with birtherism but also portraying him as a Nazi and even as the Antichrist.
He’s currently giving the same dehumanization treatment to Hillary Clinton. He spent an entire column maliciously likening her to Nurse Ratched and declaring she’s “someone who never strikes any familiar chords within our souls of genuine decency, humanity and heartfelt shared values.” That is, someone who’s not human.
If all Muslims are suspect as terrorists for dehumanizing their opponents, Kupelian should be too.
