Murtaza Hussain writes for The Intercept, the same outlet as the illustrious Glenn Greenwald. When you see this tweet, you’ll see why Hussain is such a good fit:

Newest form of white privilege: converting to Islam, committing heinous act, dying, letting all the brown/black people take the heat for it.

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.

— Conor Friedersdorf (@conor64) October 22, 2014

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

@conor64 I was being flippant to some degree, but its true that people are not going to ascribe it to his whiteness; whereas if he was…

@conor64 ..an immigrant that would surely be a greater factor in the resulting discussion of causes.

— Murtaza Hussain (@MazMHussain) October 22, 2014

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

— Conor Friedersdorf (@conor64) October 22, 2014

Or maybe Hussain just isn’t all that smart.

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

@MazMHussain are you assuming every other white Muslim convert who doesn't commit a heinous act takes no heat?

— Hasan Hafidh (@HasHafidh) October 22, 2014

Damn you, whitey! MT @MazMHussain Newest form of white privilege: convert to Islam, commit heinous act, die, brown/black people take heat

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