Ezinsukwini ezalandela ukuhlasela okuthusayo kwe-nightclub yasePulse e-Orlando - okunye kokudutshulwa okubi kakhulu emlandweni wesimanje wase-US, obekusho izimpilo zabantu base49 (ukubala i-50 ngokubala umdubuli) nokwashiye abalimele be-50 - ubufakazi baqala ukukhombisa ukuthi indoda yezibhamu kungenzeka yayinezisusa eziningi. Lobu bufakazi abumangazi ngenxa yalokho okuveziwe ngocwaningo ngemvelaphi yobudlova, okubandakanya ulwazi lokuthi iningi labantu eleza izenzo zobudlova liqhutshwa yizinto eziyinkimbinkimbi, ezinobumbano kanye nezihlanganisiwe. Izimbangela eziyimbangela zodlame, ke, azikwazi ukuncishiswa kumthombo owodwa noma emibili. Ukuheha izwe, umhlaba awukho mnyama futhi mhlophe. Uhlobo lodlame alusafani, futhi ukuqonda kwethu ngamunye kanye nokuqoqana ngakho akumele kube yikho uma sizokwazi ukubhekana ngempumelelo nokuvikela zonke izinhlobo zaso.
Kuya ngokuya kucaca bha ukuthi esinye sezizathu zokubulawa kwalowo obulala lo mshophi kungenzeka ukuthi sasibuhlungu kakhulu ngokomqondo nangokomzwelo ngenxa yokuthanda kwakhe ukuya ocansini - inhlanganisela eyinhloni ejulile, ukuthotshiswa intukuthelo nokuthukuthela ngenxa yokuma kwakhe okungenzeka. Ngaphandle kokuthambekela kwakhe komugqa obonakalayo, kunemininingwane eminingana ephawulekayo ngempilo yalowo owayengumdubuli eyashiywa phakathi nezingxoxo eziningi ngezinhloso: umlando wakhe wobudlova basekhaya, bobabili njengomhlukumezi futhi waba ufakazi kukho ebuntwaneni; umsebenzi wakhe I-G4S, enye yezinkampani ezinkulu kakhulu zokuphepha ezizimele emhlabeni, lapho enza izinsizakalo ezibandakanya ukuboshwa kanye nokuhlukunyezwa kwabenzi bokubi abasebasha; futhi, ukuthandwa kwakhe yi-NYPD, okucacile ukuthi wayeyikhohlisa njengephoyisa elizoba yiphoyisa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokusekelwe ebufakazini obuvela kofakazi bokuzibonela nakubantu abajwayelene nabo, ukucwasana ngokwebala kungenzeka kube nomthelela ekukhetheni kwakhe kwelitshe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sazi emibikweni ukuthi imibono nemibono engemuva kwalokho okubizwa ngokuthi “yimpi yobushokobezi” obuholwa eMelika kanye namaqembu amaphekula asebenza emhlabeni wonke kungenzeka abe nomthelela esenzakalweni esingaqondakali sendoda yezibhamu.
Zonke lezi zinto, kanye nezinye ezingeziwe ezinsukwini nasemavikini azayo, kungenzeka ukuthi zabamba iqhaza ekucabangeni okunobuthi nasekuqothulweni, futhi ekugcineni kwaholela ekubulaweni kwabantu okwenzeka ngalobo busuku obubi. Ngenxa yalezi zizathu, kanye nezinye, ukuhlaselwa e-Orlando ngeke kuchazwe ukwenqena nokukhathala, "bayasizonda ngenxa yenkululeko yethu, ”Kungakhathalekile ukuthi abanye bangaya kubuphi ubude ukuze bakholise abantu ukuthi isebenza. Kodwa-ke, ngokushesha nje ngemuva kokuqubuka kwezindaba zokufika kwenhlekelele yobusuku, abaholi bezepolitiki abehlukene kanye namalungu e-media media, phakathi kokunye, baqala ukwenza inzondo nokukhetha amaSulumane. Abazange babuze imibuzo. Babengafuni zimpendulo. Bazebesabonisa kalula noma banciphise imininingwane ethembekile ephathelene nesizinda somphathi wesibhamu futhi bazenzakalelayo emcabangweni wabo ophathelene nokugxeka okuthiwa yi-“radical” Islam.
Labo abachitha bezonda, ikakhulu ngemuva kwenhlekelele yezwe, baveza kuphela ubumbano babo, ubugwala kanye nomuntu omubi, futhi, noma ngabe bahlose noma cha, bavusa enye inzondo maqembu amancane asengozini. Abantu abasebenzisa imicabango enjalo yokusabela bavame ukusebenzisa i-herring ebomvu yokufuduka kanye "nobuphekula" bakwelinye izwe ukuqhubekisela phambili izindlela zabo zobungqingili kanye nobokulwa. Lokhu kuziphatha ngokunganaki nokunganaki kubhebhethekisa i-Islamophobia kuphela futhi kuzonde ubugebengu obuqhamuka kumaSulumane.
Ukudonsela phansi kanye nokwesabeka ngobuphekula kanye ne- "Okunye" kuyinzuzo enkulu embonini yezimpi zamadola ayizigidigidi. Isigameko esibuhlungu esenzeka e-Orlando singaba elinye ithuba lokuthi abafundisi bezimpi bakhule ngokucebile. I-Islamophobia kanye nokucwasana kuthengisa impi. Ingxoxo kazwelonke mayelana nobungqingili, udlame lwasekhaya, umbuso wokubheka ezokuphepha kanye nokusebenza kwezimboni zasejele alunayo.
Ngeke size siyeke ukudubula kwabantu abaningi uma siqhubeka nokusola i-Islam. Kuyadabukisa-ke nokho ukuthi le nkolo isazoqhubeka nokubhekiswa nokuxhashazwa ngabantu abanomqondo omncane ukuxhumana nokusabalalisa ama-anti-Muslim, i-ultra-nationalist propaganda. Udlame olwesabekayo kwesinye isikhathi lwenziwa egameni le-Islam, njengoba kwenzeka egameni lezinye izinkolo. Kodwa-ke, lokhu akunakwenza nhlobo ukuthi inkolo ibe ngecala layo, nokho amaSulumane ahlukunyezwa ngamabomu nangokuphindaphindiwe.
Kungamampunge ukuthi kudutshulwe amaSulumane ngokudutshulwa, ikakhulukazi uma ukuhlaziya ngokweqiniso kwalezi zehlakalo kunikeza izimpendulo eziyinkimbinkimbi eziphathelene nezindlela zodlame. Ukube bekuqondene nokusola noma ukuvimba inani elithile labantu ukuqeda ukudubula kwabantu abaningi, imininingwane yezibalo ikhombisa ukuthi inkolo akufanele ibe yilungu elizimele. UChris Churchill we-Albany Times Union ulicacisa kahle leli phuzu muva nje ikholomu: “… Uma ubheka uhlu olude lokudutshulwa kwabantu abaningi muva nje, awukwazi ukuzibamba ukuthi akuwona neze ukuthembeka ukubiza lokhu njengenkinga yamaSulumane noma yabokufika… Kungaba okunembe kakhudlwana ukukubiza ngokuthi yintsha ecasukile neqhelelene. inkinga yomuntu. Empeleni, uma inhloso iqeda ukudutshulwa kwabantu abaningi, bekungaba nengqondo enkulu ukuvimba bonke abesilisa abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-35 kunokuba kuvinjelwe amaSulumane. ”
Akukona nje kuphela ukuthi inkinga yokudubula kwabantu abaningi ingasuki enkolweni, inqubomgomo yokulawula izibhamu ezinengqondo inikeza ubufakazi obuqinile ngezindlela zokuthintela: Kamuva nje ikholomu, UNicholas Kristof, umlobi owathola umklomelo wePulitzer Prize weThe New York Times, ubhekisisa ukuthi, "Eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule, iCanada ibe nokudubula okukhulu kwabantu ayisishiyagalombili. Kuze kube manje kule nyanga, i-United States isivele ine-20…. Abantu baseCanada bangamaphesenti ama-3.2 amaSulumane, kanti i-United States icishe ibe ngamaphesenti ama-1 amaSulumane - nokho iCanada ayinazo izigameko zokubulawa kwabantu njengaleso esisanda kusibona emcimbini wobusuku besitabane e-Orlando, Fla, noma lowo ngoDisemba eSan Bernardino, eCalif .Ke-ke mhlawumbe inkinga akuyona amaSulumane amaningi aphelile kodwa kunezibhamu ezingalawuleki. ”Ngakho-ke, ukugcizelela ukuthi i-Islam inkinga kungaba ukuveza ukungazi okukhulu noma ubuhlanga obucacile nobunobuhlanga mayelana nenkolo.
Izindaba ezimnandi ukuthi kunenombolo enkulu yamaqembu e-antiwar nokuthula nobulungiswa abasebenza ngokuzikhandla ukuthola futhi aqede izindlela zobudlova eziningi ezixhumene nezingahlangani ezazingaba nomthelela ekudubuleni kwabantu abaningi ePulse. The#VetsVsHate ukunyakaza kuyisibonelo esisodwa salo msebenzi. #VetsVsHate liphefumulelwe imizamo kufaka phakathi Veterans Inselele i-Islamophobia umkhankaso, uhlelo lukazwelonke lwe Ama-Veterans For Peace yethulwa ekuqaleni konyaka ngokubambisana ne I-Iraq Veterans ngokumelene Nempi (IVAW). Lo mkhankaso ufuna ukubhekana nokumisa ukuqondiswa kwamaSulumane ngamazwi nangokomzimba. Kanye nombhikisho on-the-the-floor/Izenzo zokungalaleli zomphakathi ngokumelene ne-vitriol eqondiswe kumaSulumane, imithombo yezokuxhumana ibiyimoto lapho amaqhawe nezinyunyana bezwakalise ukuzivikela kwabo nobumbano nomphakathi wamaSulumane.
Njengenhlangano ezinikele ekuqedeni impi kanye nokuqeda udlame ngazo zonke izinhlobo zayo ukusiza ukwakha ikusasa elinobulungisa nelinokuthula, i-VFP ikholelwa ukuthi inesibopho sokukhipha isitatimende ngokudubula okukhulu e-Orlando. Ngokwengxenye, lesi sitatimende sithi: “Izinhlekelele ezinjengalezi zivame ukuholela abantu ekufuneni umuntu noma okuthile abazokusola. AbakwaVeterans For Peace bayenqaba imizamo yokuqhubekisela phambili inzondo yokulwa nama-LGBTQ nemiphakathi yamaSulumane. Sicela sonke ukuba simelane nalesi silingo. Simema bonke abantu ukuthi baphonsele inselelo amandla ehlukano nenzondo, futhi bamelane nazo zonke izinhlobo zenzondo; futhi ngalesi sikhathi ikakhulukazi ngokumelene nobungqingili, ubuSulumane kanye nobandlululo lwamaSulumane. Esikhundleni salokho, masizivumeleni sisebenzele ezweni elingenazondo nobandlululo. ”
IVAW iphinde yakhipha a isitatimende mayelana nokuhlaselwa kwePulse okuthinta amaphuzu amaningi afanethwe kwisitatimende seVFP.
Ama-veteran anombono ohlukile ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene lapho ubutha nobudlova bukhula futhi bulimaze izimpilo, njengoba iningi labo laphonswa ezimweni lapho lalingenakugwemeka futhi liboniswa khona ngokuphelele. Ama-Veterans angakhuluma ngegunya ukuthi kungani futhi kungani amademoni nokushushiswa "Komunye" kungakwazi futhi kukhiqiza udlame. Kaningi, balangazelela ukuxoxa ngemininingwane yabo nanoma ngubani othanda ukulalela nokufunda. Umphumela wokubulawa kwabantu ngokubabazekayo kwePulse kube yisikhathi esinjalo lapho abashokobezi bekhuluma.
Ngezansi kunamazwi ama-veteran amane anikeza imibono yawo ngokuhlaselwa kwe-nightclub yasePulse kanye nomdlalo wokuzonda ohlabayo nosolayo owalandelayo:
"Noma nini lapho kwenzeka ukudubula noma ukuqhuma kwamabhomu emhlabeni wonke, izinhliziyo ezihlangene zamaSulumane ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.7 ziyabhidlika futhi kukhulekwa umkhuleko wokukhathazeka" ngicela ungabavumeli bazibize ngamaSulumane ". Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi wonke amaSulumane ayazi ukuthi izinkolelo zamaSulumane zimemezela ukuthi ukuthatha ngokungafanele impilo eyodwa kufana nokubulala bonke abantu phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ikakhulukazi ngalesi sikhathi seRamadan - lapho kungavunyelwe ngisho nokuphikisana omunye umuntu kuncane kakhulu ukudubula okukhulu. Lokhu yikho kanye okwenziwa yiwo wonke amaSulumane emhlabeni ukuthi umdubuli we-Orlando wayengumkhohlisi, inkolelo yakhe kwakuwudlame nenzondo. Kepha, njengoba kunjalo, ngemuva kwale nhlekelele, umhlaba ufakaza ngothando nokulunga kwamaSulumane, anikela ngegazi (yize azila ukudla namanzi), aletha ukondla kulabo abaswele, noma, njenge mina, ngimi ehlombe nehlombe nomphakathi we-LGBTQ + ngezinyembezi emizameni enesizotha yokukhumbula imiphefumulo emihle esilahlekelwe yiyo. Siyazi ukuthi izibopho zethu zobudlelwano njengemiphakathi emincane azikwazi futhi ngeke zehlukaniswe udlame ngoba izibopho zethu zenziwe ngothando nobunye futhi zihlala njalo. ” -Nate Terani (umgcini wezempi waseNavy, ilungu le-VFP, nomhleli wensimu ye-VCI esePhoenix)
“IHijab. UAllah. Lawa ngamagama esicabanga ngawo lapho sithola igama elithi “amaSulumane.” Abantu futhi bacabanga ukuthi "amaphekula," okuyindlela yokucabanga ebhubhisayo. Zombili izehlakalo ze9 / 11 kanye nokubulawa kwabantu e-Orlando kwabangela ukuhlupheka okukhulu kwabaningi. Kepha kumele singazikhohlwa lezi zinhlekelele zilimaze nomphakathi wamaSulumane. Lapho kwenzeka i-9 / 11, ngithanda abantu baseMelika abaningi ukuthi kudingeka siye lapho futhi senze okuthile ngakho. Kodwa-ke, ngangingaqondi i-Islam. Ngagcina ukuhlangana nomuntu owayefuna ukuchaza izinkolelo zamaSulumane kubantu abangazi, ukuze ngishaye phansi inkolelo yokuthi wonke amaSulumane amabi. Kusukela ngalesosikhathi, angikaze ngibheke emuva ngisho naseMarine Corps (ngenkathi angikaze ngiphonsele phansi) ngamela abafowethu nodadewethu, abanye babo ababengamaSulumane. Kucatshangelwa izingcaphuno ezimbili ezingikhumbuza lokhu: “Labo abahluleka ukufunda emlandweni bazimisele ukukuphinda” (iSantayana) futhi “Iso ngeso lenza umhlaba wonke ungaboni” (Gandhi). Ulwazi lungamandla futhi uma singaqondi ukuthi amaSulumane kudingeka sizifundise ukuze siqede i-Islamophobia. ” -Renee Whitfield (Isazi seMarine Corps, umxhasi we #VetsVsHate)
“Njengo-Latinx. UmSulumane. Veteran.

Okukhona emphakathini wethu - ngezikhathi ezithile - kuzizwa ngendlela efanayo nakimi; ukuhlukunyezwa kokuthukwa ngamazwi noma isibuko sesahlulelo esingashiwongo.
