US Congressional Rep. Sue Myrick appears to be making a bid to become the next prominent anti-Muslim fearmonger in the US. She has begun a regularly weekly Youtube infomercial series that will discuss the dangers of Islamic terrorism and “the threat to Western civilization” that will also play on her congressional website.
The usual MO of people like Myrick is to take voices from the margins of the Muslim community and represent them as being at the center. As Willow wrote in 2008, “Would it be a smear against America if someone made a documentary citing only The KKK, the Weathermen, the Freemen, and the Black Panthers?”
TPM reports that in the coming weeks she will produce an episode that will be based on the same document that the “Third Jihad” hate film is based on – a letter supposedly written by an anonymous “North American operative” of the Muslim Brotherhood and which it is claimed reveals a ‘civilizational jihad’ and a secret master plan among Muslims to destroy the US from within and create an Islamic state in North America.
Myrick, who represents the 9th congressional district in North Carolina, is pushing her audience to promote the fear:
Visit our Web site on a regular basis because we’re going to be posting a lot of new information, and it will be valuable to you, and you can share it with your friends and neighbors so they can be educated as well. Because if the American people don’t know what’s going on, we might as well hang it up.
