You do not realize it but your comment is exactly the thing I’m describing.

You say "No I see Muslims as humans" and then in the next breath complain that they are "elevated to the top of the victim hierarchy," talk about "moderate Muslims" like they are a customer-service department for 2 billion people, and demand that they perform public loyalty oaths to make you feel better.

That is not what you do with people you see as equals.

That is what you do with a suspect population you think owes you reassurance.

You are "sick" of them being at the top of the victim hierarchy.

Where exactly is this hierarchy?

Is it in the refugee camps, in the rubble, in the drone-strike statistics, in the sanctions, on the watchlists, at the airports, in the prisons?

Because from where most of us are sitting, they are not at the top of a victim hierarchy.

They are at the bottom of an empathy hierarchy.

A Palestinian child has to be perfect, unpolitical, and preferably dead in a photogenic way to receive ten seconds of conditional sympathy.

One accusation of "extremism" wipes all of that away.

That is the hierarchy.

You say you are sick of "so called moderate Muslims refusing to name and shame the extremists in their own communities."

Do you apply that standard to anyone else?

Did every white American hold a press conference to "name and shame" the soldiers who massacred Iraqis?

Did every Christian "name and shame" Clinton, Bush, Blair, Obama, Biden, Trump?

Did every Israeli "name and shame" the pilots dropping bombs on apartment blocks?

Or do you understand, in every other case, that individuals are not a collective spokesperson simply because they share a label?

It is only Muslims who are told:

Your dead are suspicious.

Your grief is conditional.

Your safety depends on how loudly you condemn someone you have never met, in a country you have never been to, for a crime you did not commit.

That is what dehumanisation looks like in polite language.

You also say, "Stop with the dehumanising narrative."

Yet your whole comment is exactly that narrative.

You take people who are being bombed, occupied, surveilled, banned, and demonised, and your first instinct is not:

"How do we stop this."

It is:

"I am sick of how central their suffering feels to me."

That is the war on terror working as designed.

It did not only teach people to fear "extremists."

It trained them to experience any serious attention to Muslim suffering as an annoyance.

As "hierarchy."

As "special treatment."

Saying "I see Muslims as human" means nothing if the moment their dead are mentioned you pivot to your irritation.

It means nothing if your first reflex is to turn their graves into a debate about your feelings.

You are not being asked to put them at the top of a victim hierarchy.

You are being asked to admit that their lives are not a footnote to your comfort.

If that already feels like too much, then my thread is not the dehumanising narrative in this conversation.

Yours is.
