I don't usually delve into conspiracies and this is more of a shower thought than a well researched argument, but I felt it would be better appreciated here.
After the leaks by Snowden and the reveal that everybody's data was being collected the NSA has been under increasing scrutiny by the legal system as well as the house, not to mention the people of other countries. After the leaks, Europe has been allowing unchecked numbers of "refugees" from the middle east in to their countries. Whether that was due to a larger conspiracy or incompetence doesn't matter. I believe that now that there have been a number of terrorist attacks the NSA's surveillance network is suddenly going to start catching terrorists before they can pull off their attacks, providing legitimacy to the program. It would then be child's play to use the legitimate fear of the people to fund and expand the program.

The refugee crisis is also a great way to get the American hatred for Arabs spread over to the EU as well. The more racial tensions, the easier people are to manipulate.

People don't hate Arabs. They hate Islam. Two completely different things. Don't twist it

All this talk about 'sandniggers' sure does give the opposite impression.

People also call stuff "gay," that doesn't mean they hate homosexuals. Arabs are the vessel. Not all are extremist, but all extremist Muslims are Arab. Or the vast majority of Islam extremists are middle eastern

I'll definitely agree that Islam is toxic and needs to be eradicated - but I'll say the same about Christianity.
Problem is that words like 'sandnigger' and 'faggot' are not going to help get people on the identity politics train to even think about your position. We need to start focusing on common ground if we want to get anything done. If Voat separates from Reddit and both continue to entrench their own politics, then we'll just end up being the next generation of stalemated Congressmen shutting down the budget to prevent the other from getting any wins.
Edit - one more thing, not all extremist Muslims are Arab or even Arab-looking. In fact, non-Arabs are preferred because they're not as suspicious. These terrorist cells thrive on racial tension, why do you think the first thing they did was bomb Europe for accepting their own people?
