OK …

@MazMHussain This seems like an example of having a point that’s totally obscured by using lens of privilege where it doesn’t apply.

Don’t worry, Conor. Hussain knows what he’s doing:

@MazMHussain Yeah, I took that to be your point, and fully agree that this touches real issues of privilege, but not his “privilege."

Or maybe Hussain just isn’t all that smart.

Liberal blames white people for Islamic terrorism. This is next-level denial. https://t.co/iw2iHvJLXb

@Braillepro According to @MazMHussain Islam is a religion for brown people… only. @Matthops82 @ggreenwald

@MazMHussain White privilege kills again, and brown/black people take the heat? How about radical Islam = violence, you simpering hack.
