“The rise in anti-Muslim acts is undeniable and unnerving,” says CNN, and then it proceeds to enumerate all three of them. No attacks on innocent Muslims, or any innocent people, are ever justified under any circumstances, and the instances CNN enumerates are tragic and unjustifiable. CNN then proceeds, however, to bring in the hate-filled and mendacious Corey Saylor of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Meanwhile, as violence against Jews skyrockets nationwide, CNN has nothing to say.
“As reports of hate crimes against Muslims grow, here’s how you can help,” CNN, December 19, 2023:
The rise in anti-Muslim acts is undeniable and unnerving. Three Palestinian college students were shot in Vermont, and when a six-year-old was stabbed in Chicago, his mother couldn’t attend his funeral because she’d been stabbed, too.
In Georgia, a middle school teacher was arrested after he allegedly threatened to behead a 13-year-old Muslim student.
But most incidents of Islamophobia don’t make headlines – or even go reported.
This recent unprecedented surge of anti-Muslim bias prompted the White House to announce a national strategy to combat Islamophobia.
Corey Saylor of The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says his organization receives daily reports of Islamophobia, including incidents where people probably could have helped. In one case, they say, a woman was verbally harassed in a crowded grocery store without a single person coming to her aid….
Ray Jarman says
Most of here at JW know that 99% or more of what CAIR states is an out and out lie. Even in Walmart, I find that people try to be as courteous as possible and I have yet to see one incident where a muslima has been verbalized with disdain or disrespect. If there were acts of intimidation or violence, I have no doubt that CAIR would have produced it and spread it over every network. They haven’t because there has been virtually none and the attack in Vermont had nothing to do with Islam.

Ray, i wasn’t going to saying anything more about that strange saying you heard in Canberra back in 2000, “who’s bob”. I don’t think this explains it, but, from the recesses of my memory i recalled that a “bob” was a slang term for money, for a shilling. Australia changed from pounds, shillings, etc to dollars and cents in 1967 from memory. A bob was a slang term for a shilling. I had to look it up, I couldn’t recall what amount of money it was, only that it was some value of money in slang. There is a saying that you still very rarely hear out here in Australia that someone, maybe a politician or some person is “having a bob each way”, it comes from betting on racehorses, but means sort of sitting on the fence on an issue. Maybe that saying you heard was” whose bob” as in “on whose bob” or “on whose dollar” or “on whose dime”, meaning the one who is paying for it. I don’t think it is the answer because by 2000 almost nobody would mention a “bob”, as in a shilling since the old money was long gone. I only mention this because I had long forgotten about how a “bob” was slang for money, then it came back to me. Only old people like me would have any memory of this. That is all I have on this issue. I don’t think it is what that saying you heard was about, but who knows. Certainly a very strange saying. All the best to you.

Thanks for the information and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Ray, I have seen a lot of mozlums…in places I worked, places I shopped, doctor’s offices, etc. and never once heard anyone say anything rude or even Truthful (as in islam is evil or something of the sort) to or about them.
This tactic of c.a.i.rats and other mozlum orgs is propaganda to cause the public to believe something that isn’t True.
Sometimes people are rude, but for the most part, it’s just because the person being rude is just inconsiderate of others; and not because of the character, background, religion, race or creed of the recipient of the rudeness.
If the recipient is mozlum, c.a.i.rats would claim it’s because of mozlumness.
somehistory says
We can help by getting the word out about the lies and evil of islam; get the word out about how the attacks on mozlums, for the most part, are mere hoaxes fabricated by such as the members of c.a.i.r.
How many news people have reported on the hundreds of bomb threats against Jews…their synagogues and schools and restaurants ,,,in the past week? How many have reported on what is happening to Christians in Africa due to the attacks by mozlums?
The fake phobia is just that…fake. mozlums are intent on taking over. One of the first things an invader does, or even native guerillas do, is to take over the media so they can lie about what is happening. So they can make the public believe what they want the public to believe until the takeover is complete.
mozlums are using this same tactic and people should hear about it.

CAIR’s latest campaign is to make opposition to pro-Hamas public statements and acts “hate” –

Islamophobia is the real fear of what some crazed Muslim is likely planning to do to you, not Christians being uncharacteristically nasty things to Muslims.

I can only speak for myself when I say that although I am surrounded by those that ascribe to this malignant ideology in the city in which I live, I would never attack them, although they would not hesitate to attack me—given the opportunity. Instead, I watch and I listen, and I will *never* surrender or subjugate myself to such a vile, ignorant and repulsive population—most of whom have no right to be on this continent in the first place.
Noah Andeark says
I prefer the much more accurate “islamoaware”.

One thing we can be thankful for is that not a lot of people watch CNN anymore. The ones that are watching are so far left they are beyond rehabilitation.
