That’s a lot of words just to blame white people for Karmelo Anthony committing a gruesome murder.
The real reason Karmelo did it? He’s a violent and semi-retarded loser.
You should be ashamed of yourself, you fraud
As an Indian woman from Muslim heritage, I write this rebuttal with the clarity and directness that comes from living the reality @Ilhan only tweets about from afar. Ilhan Omar’s claim that India has reached the “eighth stage of genocide” against Muslims is not analysis. It is reckless, fact-free propaganda that insults every one of us who actually live here, work here, raise families here, and exercise our rights every single day.
If there were even the beginning of genocide, our population would not have exploded. In 1951, Muslims were about 9.8% of India. By 2011, we were 14.2%. Today we are estimated around 14.5–15%, heading toward 18% by 2050 according to Pew projections. From roughly 35 million in 1951 to over 200 million now. Absolute numbers have multiplied nearly six-fold while the country’s overall population grew far slower in percentage terms. Genocide does not produce the world’s largest Muslim-minority population that keeps growing faster than the national average for decades. It produces mass graves and fleeing refugees. We have neither.
We vote in every election in the world’s largest democracy. We contest seats, win them, become MPs, ministers, judges, IAS officers, doctors, engineers, and business leaders. Three Presidents of India have been Muslim. We serve in the armed forces and police. We own businesses, run hospitals, produce films, and dominate segments of entertainment and sports. This is not the signature of a community facing extermination.
We are thriving and prospering — with real data and real lives. Yes, like every large community, we have internal challenges — lower average literacy and educational enrollment in some metrics, pockets of poverty, and the need for better skilling. But the narrative of uniform victimhood is a lie told by people who have never walked through a Muslim-dominated area in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, or Kerala and seen the middle class, the professionals, the entrepreneurs, and the young women studying medicine and engineering.
Prominent Indian Muslims — from business (Wipro’s Azim Premji built one of India’s largest companies), to cinema (generations of stars and directors), to sports, academia, and medicine — show what is possible when talent meets opportunity in a free society. Millions of ordinary Muslim families have moved from villages to cities, from informal work to formal jobs, from one generation of limited schooling to the next pursuing professional degrees. That is prosperity in motion, not persecution.
We enjoy specific rights and accommodations that Hindus as a group do not. This is the part Omar and her echo chamber never mention. Indian Muslims operate under a parallel personal law system for marriage, divorce, inheritance, and maintenance rooted in Sharia. Hindus do not.
After independence, Hindu personal law was comprehensively reformed and codified into a uniform framework (Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, etc.). Muslims retained the right to follow their own religious laws — including provisions for polygamy (up to four wives) and differential inheritance rules that the Hindu majority surrendered decades ago.
We also have constitutional minority protections under Articles 29 and 30 that allow us to establish and administer our own educational institutions with significant autonomy — rights the Hindu majority does not claim as a group because it is not classified as a minority. The Waqf Act gives Muslim institutions unique control over vast religious and charitable properties in a manner unparalleled for any other community.
In short: the Indian state has gone out of its way, through personal laws and minority safeguards, to preserve and accommodate Muslim religious and cultural identity in ways it has not extended equivalently to the Hindu majority. These are not “equal rights” in every narrow sense — they are deliberate accommodations that give us more space to live according to our traditions than the majority community receives under the same Constitution.
As a woman from Muslim heritage in India, I have the full protection of the Indian Constitution plus the framework of personal law. The criminalization of instant triple talaq in 2019 removed a specific vulnerability that existed under uncodified practice. I can study, work, vote, travel, criticize the government, wear what I choose (or not), and practice my faith openly — all while living in a country where my community’s population share has steadily risen for 75 years.
@Ilhan Omar’s “eighth stage of genocide” rhetoric is not solidarity. It is the lazy export of American culture-war talking points onto a country and a people she does not understand. It erases the agency of 200+ million Indian Muslims who are neither cowering nor waiting for rescue from Washington. It cheapens the word “genocide” while real atrocities happen elsewhere.
Stop peddling foreign fantasies about our lives. We are here. We are visible. We are voting. We are building. And we reject your narrative with the facts of our own existence. That is the view from inside — not from a podium in the United States.
People are attacking me. Since you were born in India and have permanently settled here, why don't you support immigration?"
Here is my simple perspective.
Let’s say you win a $10 million lottery in your life. You’re lucky enough to move from a poor, crime-ridden neighbourhood to a rich and safe one.
Now you are left with three choices:
Choice A: Resist people from the old neighbourhood because you have invested a lot in this new one.
Choice B: Move to an even better neighbourhood.
Choice C: Accept your new neighbourhood turning into the old one.
If you were born in India and God blessed you with the opportunity to settle in America, consider it as winning that $10 million lottery. The question is: do you want to preserve it or squander it? If you want to preserve it, you need to pick Choice A. Choice A is available to you when it comes to migration between nations.
There is a clear and logically sound reason for immigrants to resist further mass migration. You are not a hypocrite or a ladder-puller. Those are guilt-tripping tactics.
In fact, as an immigrant, you often know better than heritage Americans the dangers of mass-importing the problems of your former nation.
Do a simple sanity test to help with your decision-making process:
Would you voluntarily give up your American citizenship and go back to settle in your home nation?
If the answer is No, pick Choice A.
100% of Indian Americans should pick Choice A because virtually no one will voluntarily give up their American citizenship.
When people ask why there is growing resentment from American workers—White, Black, and Hispanic—toward Indian professionals when they are well paid, the answer is often reduced to bigotry.
But the reality is much simpler: Every country has a finite number of high-paying jobs, and the friction comes down to who gets them.
Here is why that resentment exists, broken down into three realities:
1. The Sovereignty Perspective
If the standard for hiring for a job in America is simply "the best person in the world," local workers will inevitably ask: Why should we have to compete globally for jobs in the country our communities built? Citizens pay taxes, built the nation, uphold the social contract, and sustain the environment that allows these corporations to thrive in the first place. From a sovereignty perspective, a nation's primary duty is to its own workforce. It is worth noting that many countries, including India and China, have strict protections in place to ensure local workers aren't displaced by foreign labor.
2. The Labor Market Reality
From a purely economic standpoint, the modern immigration and employment system puts the American worker at a severe structural disadvantage. When companies rely on imported labor, the playing field is heavily skewed:
Built-In Financial Incentives: Employers save significantly on payroll taxes. Hiring foreign students on OPT (Optional Practical Training) legally exempts the employer from paying their 7.65% share of FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes. On a six-figure salary, this saves a corporation thousands of dollars per employee compared to hiring an American citizen.
A Captive Workforce: Workers whose visa residency is tied to their employer are inherently more compliant. They are often expected to work 50+ hours for 40 hours of pay just to maintain their immigration status.
Reduced Leverage: Visa-dependent employees are significantly less likely to whistleblow, unionize, or push back against poor corporate practices.
Demographic Differences: The system often imports younger, single workers who do not yet have the financial burden of supporting a family, and allowing them to pay lower insurance costs.
3. The Integrity Problem
The tension is significantly amplified by actual abuses of the system. When you factor in instances of visa fraud, fake degrees, insular hiring networks (nepotism), and the practice of posting inaccessible job listings purely to bypass local labor certification requirements, the frustration among American workers boils over. When American workers feel they are being actively locked out of opportunities by exclusionary hiring rings, that resentment solidifies.
The Bottom Line
Why is there hostility toward highly paid Indian professionals? It isn't just blind prejudice. It stems from a clash over national sovereignty, a skewed labor market that financially incentivizes a compliant workforce, and a system riddled with integrity issues.
Does racism exist in these interactions? Absolutely. But it exists on both sides, making it a mutual non-factor in this specific debate.
The real driver isn't race; it's economics, fairness, and the realities of the modern labor market.
@ChiefEngineerCE@HarmeetKDhillon@USDOL I looked at https://t.co/mAXve0Jfqx's about us page: https://t.co/NidUfjeKyt
The management seems legit. Can someone check out their Linkedin profiles? I wonder if even these people's names are fraudulently listed
@cartierfamilyZ That won't be enough. Look at what Tim Cook did "Apple in China" - sold American know-how and screwed American workers. We need robust enforcement from the government. Start with no tax breaks for outsourcing
Well aware. Born in a country with a billion people. Very happy my kids aren’t in the pressure cooker of Indian schools/NEET exams, etc.
America should prioritize American citizens. We have more than enough people here to fill the need for physicians.
The Washington Post wrote an article called, “Muslims Shouldn’t Have to Assimilate to Belong.” It states that Muslims might be more resistant to assimilation due to their commitment to Sharia Law. Let me make this clear: Sharia Law and the United States CANNOT stand side by side. If you are tolerating something that treats women, minorities, and gay people the way Sharia Law does, then you are doing more damage to our nation than you realize.
@FrenlyOfficer Because we have plenty of home-grown talent. Because they have a right to a good job in their own country - USA. The foreign medical graduates have no business being here
