I'm not sure what else there is to say really...

A Norwegian anti-immigrant group has been roundly ridiculed after members mistook a photograph of six empty Oslo bus seats posted on its Facebook page for a group of women wearing burqas.

Other members of the 13,000-strong group wondered whether the non-existent passengers might be carrying bombs or weapons beneath their clothes. ”This looks really scary," wrote one. ”Should be banned. You can't tell who's underneath. Could be terrorists."

Further comments read: ”Ghastly. This should never happen," ”Get them out of our country – frightening times we are living in," and: ”I thought it would be like this in the year 2050, but it is happening now," according to thelocal.no.

I think one of people cited in the article said it the best:
[...] So much hatred against empty bus seats certainly shows that prejudice wins out over wisdom [...]. people plainly ”see what they want to see – and what these people want to see are dangerous Muslims".

I have no idea how to post a Twitter image, but check out this: a writer for a neo-conservative/alt-right US "publication" posted a pic of three brown people protesting at Mt. Rushmore, and said "They break into our country, steal resources, then do shit like this. And libs still wonder why we are pushing for immigration controls..." Only problem is the brown folks are Native Americans (Sioux, I believe). Fucking idiots.

These poor souls.

Their economic anxiety condition made them see bus seats as Muslims. We should reach out to these guys if we only calmly explain to them why Muslims aren't going to kill them on buses.

In Finland, there was a man who ran over people with his brand new Jaguar car, and he killed a woman. Of course the news spread fast and one of these "close the borders / Finland First" FB groups had their combined panties in a bunch and were saying all sorts of racist shit about what had happened. The guy who ran over the people was a member of said group. That shut them up quite fast. Bunch of morons the lot of em.
