The precise definition of that fallacy is attributing to people what they did not say. Did that excerpt from that post use the word? No. It merely presented Arabs as believing rapists were victims and not the people they targeted and the decision to let them in as breaking European culture with people actively hostile to it.
What word would describe that? That referring to a mass of people who are hostile to a state and the culture it sponsors, to be specific? What word would you prefer?
And this very much is his words in his post, word for word. Don’t lecture me about semantics and accuse me of doing the opposite of what I did and expect me to not see the obvious issue there.
