New page
'''The Jawa Report''' is a right-wing Islamophobic blog which boast of creating 'bigotted propoganda'. <ref>[[Media:Jawa Report Screegrab 2.JPG|Screengrab]], created 24 July 2009, 9:14</ref> It is run by an individual who uses the pseudonym ‘[[Rusty Shackleford]]’. ‘Rusty Shackleford’ has been registered with blogger.com since February 2003. His earliest blog http://mypetjawa.blogspot.com was first used on 1 January 2004. It is now maintained as a backup blog for the Jawa Report’s main website http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/.

The name of the blog draws on the mythical world of Star Wars, which has a particular cultural resonance in the US, particularly online. In the world of Star Wars, Jawas are nomadic desert dwelling scavengers who, along with the more aggressive Tusken Raiders are in the context of the blog meant to represent Arabs and Muslims. <ref>[[Media:Jawa Report Screegrab 3.JPG|Screengrab]], created 24 July 2009, 10:24</ref> This implicit racism is more explicit in other early postings explaining its purpose. In one ‘Rusty Shackleford’ openly stated that he regards political violence in the Middle East to be rooting in Islam, stating: ‘The root cause of Islamism is Islam. Not poverty. Not oppression. Not Zionism. Islam.’ <ref>[[Media:Jawa Report Screegrab 2.JPG|Screengrab]], created 24 July 2009, 9:14</ref> In the same post he argues that:

<blockquote style="background-color:ivory;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%;font-size:10pt">In a real war, against real enemies, we need some good old fashioned, sweet down-home, funny, bigotted propoganda…So, poke fun at Islam. Make fun of Muhammed. Paint our enemies in the worst light possible. Tell jokes about them. Create art that ridicules them. Sing songs not suitable for prime-time. Offend people that need offending. <ref>[[Media:Jawa Report Screegrab 2.JPG|Screengrab]], created 24 July 2009, 9:14</ref></blockquote>
