New in PJ Media:
Old Joe Biden’s ghostwriters issued a statement Thursday to congratulate Muslims on Eid al-Fitr, the feast marking the end of the fasting-by-day-and-gorging-by-night month of Ramadan. Predictably, it was anodyne and obsequious in the extreme, with Biden celebrating how Muslims “decorate their homes, give gifts to loved ones, wear new clothes, and visit family and friends.” The faux president is made to add: “I am moved by the generosity that is shown from families that can provide food and give charity to those in need through Zakat-al-Fitr.” In the course of all this flattery, Biden’s writer drops in a serious note: there is now a U.S. government task force dedicated to fighting “Islamophobia.”
The statement quickly shifts from telling us how wonderful it is that Muslims wear new clothes and visit family and friends to depicting Muslims as victims: “Eid al-Fitr marks the completion of a holy month dedicated to devotion, charity, and reflection—a time when we also remember Muslim communities around the world that are enduring conflict, poverty, hunger, and disease, and those that are displaced from their homes.” That served to set up the big announcement. Biden’s ghostwriter continued: “As we celebrate our blessings this Eid, let us also recommit ourselves to the timeless work of building peace and standing up for the rights and dignity of all people.” When the White House writers start depicting Old Joe babbling about peace and human rights, you know something bad is coming.
Doing this work for peace and human dignity will apparently require new restrictions on speech: “My Administration is also committed to addressing all forms of hate, including Islamophobia. This is why I established an interagency task force with senior government officials to tackle this and related challenges and encourage every American to build a more inclusive nation.” Good, because Lord knows we aren’t “inclusive” enough yet. Every last person in the world doesn’t live here on the taxpayer dime yet, so there is a long way to go.
Meanwhile, exactly what pressing need is this interagency task force designed to address? Are Muslims in the U.S. really subjected to such widespread discrimination and harassment that the feds need to step in? The record shows otherwise. FBI hate crime statistics show that Muslims are rarely targeted in hate crimes, which far more often victimize Jews and others. In fact, anti-Muslim hate crimes actually declined by 42% from 2020 to 2021. But those facts don’t fit the narrative that Muslims face widespread discrimination and harassment in the United States, and so the facts have to take a back seat.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Sheila Simmons says
It’s not Islamophobia when they really want to kill you
John Smith says
Not all muslims want to kill us Sheila. The moderates most definitely don’t want to kill us. they just want the radicals to kill us,
KAP says
Saboatge Swamp president POOPY PANTS. His approval ratings is rigged.
somehistory says
“conflict, poverty, hunger, and disease, and those that are displaced from their homes.”
This what the mozlums are doing to Christians in various nations, and is what they plan for Christians in the U.S.
biden and crew are helping them to just exactly tthat.
John Smith says
Yes, they believe themselves to be the party of virtue and righteousness, when infact they are the exact opposite. And I’ve no doubt history will one day will prove this.
End PC says
Just what will/can this this ridiculous task force do to stop “Islamophobia”, which Biden doesn’t/can’t define ? If it just means physical attacks on Muslims, that’s already illegal and rarer than attacks by Muslims. They know they are an absurd task force whose real job is probably to try to stop criticisms of Islam & Muslims. But they can’t legally.
Transmaster says
This isn’t brain dead Biden doing this it is his anti-Israel rats in the wall that are doing this. Biden is just being told what to say. He doesn’t care.

More waste, fraud, and mismanagement on the part of my favorite uncle (Sam, that is).
Were we truly an “islamophobic” country, the aftermath of 9/11 would have seen far worse than the occasional piece of pork left on a mosque’s doorstep or the entirely regrettable and reprehensible attacks on Sikhs that happened (and these incidents, given the size of the USA, were rare). Indeed, most of our “Islamophobic” attacks seem to have turned out to be Muslims trying to turn themselves into victims.
This continuation of the O’s maladministration has us slouching towards nuclear conflagration in the Far East and eastern Europe. The unguided missiles of Islamic militancy are being fired up again under our current official clown show, which seems to think that brass hats in skirts showing hairy legs and five-o’clock shadows (while passing sensitive info to Russia) will scare our enemies.
Maybe, if things get worse, and enough conservatives find themselves out of work, we can stage our own marches on Washington. Take a leaf from the Chinese who protested lockdown and the Iranian demonstrators.
tgusa says
How much you want to bet that biden cannot even spell islamophobia? Isluh, islala, islamofo, you know, the thing!
somehistory says
They’ll have ai speaking for him soon. They have already shown that they can make fake photos and videos appear to be the real deal.
If we begin to hear and see him as if he’s of sound mind and body, we’ll know it’s fake; but it will be presented as Truth.
Clifford Fodor says
I’m so proud of President Joseph Biden and his endeavor to fight against those Islamophobes who go insane over followers of the Religion of Peace. The Muslims only want to practice their faith of hatred towards the Jews and Christians, and to be able to kill infidels and blow up buildings.
Actually, JB makes me sick.
bill says
Agency to counter so called ‘islamophobia’ which will exist as long as Muslims across the world behave as they do. It is the actions of Muslims that create ‘islamophobia’, like attacking and frequently murdering non Muslims and the phobia in practice is virtually non existent. But no agency to counteract anti semitism then, which is very real and very frequent especially in USA and often causes real harm. not imagined harm.
The Israeli govt. should conatct JB and ask him why there is such a disparity.
Praying man says
May his time in office be short
OLD GUY says
Yes let’s do away with freedom of speech and thought. You can’t say anything that might hurt someones feelings. The whole world will have to go silent, for that to happen.
