L’extrême droite aux Etats-Unis, un empoisonnement meurtrier des esprits

LE MONDE – ÉDITORIAL: L’éditorial du « Monde » revient sur la tuerie raciste et préméditée de Buffalo qui révèle que le terrorisme menaçant les Américains est désormais intérieur, motivé par le suprémacisme blanc.

Le drame qui a ensanglanté un quartier majoritairement afro-américain de la ville de Buffalo (Etat de New York) samedi 14 mai le confirme, le terrorisme qui menace le plus les Etats-Unis est désormais intérieur, motivé par le suprémacisme blanc. Comme lors de l’ ttaque contre l’église de Charleston (Caroline du Sud) fréquentée par des Afro-Américains en 2015, celle de la synagogue de Pittsburgh (Pennsylvanie) en 2018, ou celle qui a eu pour cadre un centre commercial d’El Paso (Texas), près de la frontière mexicaine, un an plus tard.

Le racisme, la dénonciation hallucinée d’une « invasion » du pays, et le rabâchage de la théorie du complot d’un « grand remplacement » des Américains par des migrants, en ont été, une fois encore, le ressort. Il a été revendiqué et assumé comme tel dans le manifeste glaçant laissé, selon toute vraisemblance, par le tueur de Buffalo avant son équipée meurtrière, qui confirme également la virulence de l’antisémitisme au sein de cette extrême droite américaine. » | Éditorial du « Monde » | lundi 16 mai 2022

Buffalo Massacre: Gunman Cited Racist “Great Replacement” Conspiracy Theory Popularized by Fox News

May 16, 2022 • The mass shooter who killed 10 people in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday posted a racist manifesto online before targeting a majority-Black neighborhood. His writings took heavily from conservative conspiracy theories that white people were in danger of being replaced by people of color. This so-called Great Replacement conspiracy theory has been promoted by major far-right media figures including Tucker Carlson of Fox News. “What it does is create a dynamic where believers view immigrants and nonwhite people as an existential threat not only to themselves physically but to their position in society,” says Nikki McCann Ramírez, associate research director at Media Matters for America, who has researched how Carlson uses his show to launder white nationalist ideology. We also speak with prominent antiracist scholar Ibram X. Kendi, who says mainstream conservatives are increasingly parroting extremist talking points.

Man Accused of Beheading Wife Arraigned

NEWSDAY: BUFFALO - The founder of a Muslim-American television station pleaded not guilty Friday to beheading his estranged wife.



Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan, 44, is charged with one count of second-degree murder for the Feb. 12 death of 37-year-old Aasiya Hassan at the offices of Bridges TV in the suburb of Orchard Park.



The Pakistani-born businessman, who has been in custody since reporting his wife's death soon after it happened, remained held without bail.



"The proof of guilt in this case is strong," prosecutor Colleen Curtin Gable told Erie County Judge Thomas Franczyk. She cited alleged admissions, forensic evidence and "strong motive evidence." Aasiya Hassan was stabbed multiple times and decapitated less than a week after having her husband served with divorce papers.

"We believe he would and could flee the jurisdiction if released," Gable said in arguing against bail.



Defense attorney James Harrington did not oppose the position.



Hassan did not speak during his brief arraignment, except to tell the judge he understood the proceedings.



Harrington declined to comment afterward.



The case against Hassan is striking in its irony. Muzzammil and Aasiya Hassan launched the Bridges TV network in 2004, saying they wanted to counter negative stereotypes and media portrayals of Muslims.



Harrington has dismissed suggestions by some that the beheading was a so-called "honor killing," rooted in cultural notions about women's subordination to men.



District Attorney Frank Sedita said Muzzammil Hassan's two teenagers by a previous marriage and the two young children he had with the victim are living with relatives.



Bridges TV was off the air in the days following the killing, but has since resumed broadcasting. [Source: Newsday] The Associated Press | Friday, March 13, 2009
