New in PJ Media:
Friday was a day that ended in a “y,” and so it was another occasion for leftist virtue-signaling. Old Joe Biden’s ghostwriter wrote on X: “On the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we recognize the hate that Muslims face because of their beliefs and the ugly resurgence of Islamophobia following the war in Gaza. Let us rededicate ourselves to a world where people of all faiths are free to live without fear.” Biden hasn’t said a word, however, about the hate that Jews face from Muslims themselves. And it’s no wonder: such talk would clash with the left’s narrative.
In that narrative, Muslims are always and in every case victims, no matter what the actual circumstances may be. Among the chief propagators of this narrative are Muslim leaders themselves, who have perfected in the two decades since 9/11 the language of grievance that they know opens doors for them among the political and media elites. And so on Monday, Ibrahim Hooper of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) declared that Biden’s statement wasn’t good enough: “From Joe Biden on down, liberals denounce anti-Muslim bias to avoid mentioning the scourge of hate against #Palestinians. #Gaza #genocide @theintercept.”
Hooper included that last tag because he linked to a Monday article in The Intercept entitled “Let’s Name It: Not Just Islamophobia, but Anti-Palestinianism.” This article leads off with three alleged incidents of “Islamophobia,” at least one of which, the killing of three Muslim college students in Vermont, has nothing actually to do with hatred of Muslims at all. The killer had, in fact, defended Hamas, and so there was no evidence whatsoever that his murders had to do with “anti-Palestinian hate.”
Neither Biden, nor Hooper, nor The Intercept, meanwhile, had anything to say the genuine hatred that is coming out of U.S. mosques. The indispensable Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) recently reported that an imam in Miami, Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi, said this in a Friday sermon on March 8: “Allah revealed to the messengers, instantly: ‘We will defeat the oppressors, and We will make you the dwellers of their land, of their homes.’…By Allah, those settlements that they built, by Allah we will live in them.…By Allah, we will seize [them]. By Allah, we will enjoy [them]. By Allah we will live in [them]. If it is not us, our children will live in [them]. By Allah, the law of Allah and the shari’a of Allah will rule the land.”
This amounted to a prediction of the total destruction of Israel, which would mean a new genocide of the Jews, and Kablawi wasn’t finished. He prayed: “Oh Allah, support their mujahideen. Oh Allah, guide their shooting. Oh Allah, support them with our soldiers. Oh Allah, bring annihilation upon enemies of Islam. Oh Allah, bring annihilation upon the accursed Zionists. Oh Allah, curse them and then curse them some more. Oh Allah, heal the breasts of the believers.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Vermont students where Wounded but not killled.
“….the killing of three Muslim college students in Vermont, has nothing actually to do with hatred of Muslims at all…”
RJ Katz says
There is no such thing as Islamophobia. The fear of Islam is generated by their fetid Quran and by their murderous deeds and pronouncements. Joe Biden is an old fool and their Imams urge the killing of anyone who is not a Muslim.
YidKid says
true. Hooper once defined islamophoboa as an “irrational fear of islam.” I suggest there is nothing irrational about fearing islam.
Pray Hard says
If only “islamophobia” existed …

Usual disgusting, satanically evil filth from this Muslim scumbag, all straight out of that handbook of basic islmic instructions, the Koran, where it tells Muslims to murder all non-believers, not just Jews, when the chance arises. AS for this bullshit term, islamophobia, I think that any increase in the dreaded islamophobia just means that more people are finally waking up to islam’s evil nature. Muslims seem to have this weird notion that they can murder non-Muslims, rape them, express hate for them and yet the foolish non-Muslims will go right on liking the Muslim scum. How insane would that be. The more people that wake up and hate islam, the evil ideology, the better. It means that more of the slow learners are, and about time, waking up.
