New in PJ Media:
You’ll be relieved to know that even as time is running out for the Biden-Harris regime, White House apparatchiks are still hard at work for the American people, dealing with the real problems that affect our day-to-day lives. On Thursday, the regime happily announced the launch of what it billed as “the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate.” Now that’s just super, as everyone who knows how important it is for the government to police people’s attitudes and make sure they don’t commit thoughtcrimes, but the initiative, especially coming in these last days of the regime, raises more questions than it answers.
The primary question is: why are Biden-Harris wonks launching policy initiatives? Unless the left throws us a massive curve on Jan. 6 or sometime before Jan. 20, which is possible but unlikely, the Biden-Harris regime has just under five weeks left before it is consigned to the dustbin of history. Are five weeks enough to stamp out “Islamophobia,” which the left has been whining about since even before 9/11? Or does the regime intend to give deep state bureaucrats marching orders that it will follow, under the radar, during the incoming Trump administration? Or is the whole thing just grandstanding?
The latter option seems to be the most likely. After all, the 2024 election is over, although votes are still being counted, so there is no further need to court Muslim Arab voters in Michigan and Minnesota anymore. Still, there will be another presidential election, and other elections, and so it’s likely that this new initiative to counter “Islamophobia” is designed to ensure that Muslim voters who are enraged that the regime didn’t abandon Israel altogether stay in the fold.
And so the White House’s new strategy to fight the scourge of “Islamophobia” kicks off with a letter signed by Old Joe himself, claiming that “over the last year, we have experienced a sharp increase in discrimination and violence against Muslim, Arab, and Jewish communities in the United States.” That sounds terrible indeed, but let’s look at the actual record.
The FBI Crime Data Explorer says that there were 265 hate crimes in the past year that were classified as “Anti-Jewish.” This just edged out hate crimes that were “Anti-Black or African American” for the top spot on the hate crimes list; there were 220 of those.
After that, there is a steep drop-off. There were 83 “Anti-Gay (Male)” hate crimes, 79 “Anti-White” hate crimes, and so on. Finishing ninth in the hate crimes standings were “Anti-Islamic (Muslim)” hate crimes, which numbered only 24.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Billy says
Democrats and Islam’s Muslims seek to protect Islam and its Muslims via American Law from any criticism despite their terrorism, discrimination, and violence against Non-Muslims. Moreover, Islam is a deceitful, totalitarian, terrorist, pedophilic Criminal Gang Enterprise against all Non-Muslims by using discrimination, deception, hatred, rape, murder, and violence to gain ultimate power and control as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran. Furthermore, Islam’s supremacist-genocidal Ideology, its tyrannical Muslims, its propaganda Schools, its foreign terrorist Organizations, and its ‘Convert-or-Die’ Mosques fund, teach, inspire, and promote ‘Threats and Incitement of Violence’ as well as never-ending terrorism, loathing, and segregation against women, children, and all Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 2:191-3; 4:65, 89, 100; 5:14,82; 8:65; 9:5,14-15,29,111; 33:26; 47:4; 65:4; 98:6-7 and more).

As a former police officer and current professor of criminal justice, I am quite familiar with reported UCR/NIBRS reporting systems used by the FBI. I also understand Judaism as a practitioner (or not) for 77 years. I have concluded that frequently Jews do not always report antisemitic events for fear of ‘copy-cat’ repititition. I also believe that groups like CAIR often report Islamic hate crimes such as “lookism,” when someone is a bit surprised to see a Muslima in full body Abaya & Khimar clothing on a particularly hot south Texas summer day. CAIR and their ilk also report anti-Hindu bias crimes as Islamic hate crimes, because, in their opinion, American are too stupid to know the difference between a turban worn by Hindus and traditional Islamic headwear.
Troybeam says
This strategy is to endanger non Muslims and seeks to give Muslims a legal way to destroy the Constitution by having the laws changed to protect Islam.
This is treason and it’s 100% wrong for America.

This is more from the mozlum who has had his dirty fingers in so much of American life since 2008. bo stated to the UN that people who don’t worship his fake prophet, have no future. bo claimed that people “slander” his “prophet.”
To “slander” someone means to speak lies about that one in order to ruin that one’s reputation.
It’s not possible to ruin the rep of a dead person. And, if it one could damage the rep of a dead person,
the fake ‘prophet’ bo was referencing had the worst possible reputation.
A mass-murdering raper of children, slave trader, thief, lying sack of feculent matter and son of satan. There is no reputation in his case to protect. He was the worst possible human….if he existed.
The Truth about his fake prophet is what bo wants …he wanted it then, he still wants it now….squelched.
bo’s puppets are going along with the attempt to silence the Truth about islam, the fake prophet, and the intentions and goals of mozlums the world over….which is to take the world over.
If they can get the public to believe it is against the law to tell the Truth, if they can make people fear telling the Truth, and this reaches to those who enforce the laws, then mzlums will have won another round.
However, infidels speaking Truth about islam is not the only reason mozlums whine about the fake phobia.
Religious people, Christians, Jews, Hindus, and others, by practicing their faith, call out the **lies*** which mozlums shout from their barracks roof tops.
To practice a religion which mozlums do not recognize….and they recognize only islam…is to be guilty of the fake phobia.
To disallow certain practices which mozlums freely do in mozlun-ruined nations, is also, to the mozlum, the fake phobia. Taking babies and calling the daily rape “marriage,” to mutilate little girls, to rape women who show their hair, to steal and not be prosecuted, and on and on with the evil filth is what islam is all about. mozlums demand to be able to do those things and no one complain or try to prevent them.
These are their aims for Americans….to not complain, nor try to prevent, the evil mozlums practice, nor to have a Faith or moral code which proclaims that what mozlums practice is *evil.*

The Biden / Harris administration is only concerned with protecting the Hate speech of proPalestinian groups and people. And what is Islamophobia anyway? The fear of Islamic movements. First people have every reason to be afraid of Islamic movements. Are Palestinians any different from other jihadist causes? If you study the attacks on Jews in first the Mandate location and then the Israel one you will find that hatred of Jews are the major component for Palestinians. From 1929 massacre of Jews in Hebron to an ever on going number of horrible attacks killing Jews including women and children, the attacks demonstrated a desire for genocide. The only reason there was not a real genocide in numbers was that Palestinians lacked the military might to do it. Give them WMD and the means to deliver it and you will have numbers of dead Jews approaching the Nazi genocide. And people are condemned for being afraid of that? There is every reason to have Islamophobia. Islam slaughters Christians in Africa daily. These attacks are by allies of Palestinian terror groups. In Europe there are attacks on native Euros and Jews across Europe mainly by Arab and Muslim migrants of which many are recipients of Amnesty granted by Germany, France, Sweden, Spain, Belgium and others. The politics of Biden/.Harris is simply an appeal to Muslim voters in the US who also hate Israel and like to carry Palestinian signs and flags. Biden/Harris so far do not fear a push back by average Americans against this outreach to Muslims. But the results of the 2024 election showed that is coming and Americans are tired of seeing Democrat Party stand with the very worse in the world. And hopefully that anger will grow as do the attacks on Jews, Israel and Christians worldwide.

If I lived in the U.S., I’d be afraid of, or at least concerned about, violent Hispanic gangs such as MS-13, or the new one from Venezuela.
I’d also be wary of the traditional Sicilian Mafia, or of the Russian Mafia, both of which can be ruthless and violent at times.
So, does this make me Hispanophobic, or Italophobic, or Russophobic?

Day 349 of the year 2024

550 broadcasts so far in 2024
One new CAIR broadcast
1. CAIR on CNN; White House Islamophobia Strategy Fails to Address Root Causes of Rising Hate CNN – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iNTp4Cy2Q8
CNN’s Victor Blackwell brought CAIR’s Deputy Executive Director on to comment on Biden’s program to combat “Islamophobia”, and it displays many of the characteristics of CAIR’s appearances on the news.
Irrelevant
CAIR’s opinion on Biden’s plan is irrelevant. To say that Biden “failed” is nonsense. The time for CAIR to give comment was before they got kicked out of the project because CAIR’s national leader said October 7 made him “happy”.
Protected
Victor Blackwell never brought up this statement by CAIR’s leader. Instead, he let Mitchell say that somebody else failed, not him, or his organization.
Self-promotion and misinformation
Mitchell said CAIR defended an Army veteran before the Supreme Court and received a 9-0 victory. This is a reference to Saadiq Long, an Air Force veteran. His case, Saadiq Long v. David Pekoske, was heard before the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals which ruled that Long’s challenges to his status on the No Fly List were moot. Saadiq Long has been removed from the No Fly List but remains on the broader federal terrorism watchlist.
Mitchell may be confusing Saadiq Long with Yonas Fikre v. FBI. Copilot AI says: “This case challenged the federal No Fly List. Yonas Fikre, an American Muslim, was placed on the No Fly List after refusing to become an informant for the FBI. CAIR argued that his placement on the list was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of allowing the lawsuit to proceed.”
CAIR did not win Fikre’s case in the Supreme Court. What they did was represent Fikre when the FBI’s motion to dismiss was voted down 9-0. That means Fikre’s case is still unresolved.
CAIR should not be on TV.

ISLAMOPHOBIA: a made up word to protect Islam.
You are not Islam-phobic when you understand Islam is out
to kill you, cheat you out of monies (law suits) all because you
disagree with their sharia law, something you now
understand that it is dangerous to humanity.
jerry glenn says
How about a strategy to combat Islamopandering.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Every new initiative started by this administration since November 6th this year should be reversed in the first week of President Trump taking office
Especially this one
James Lincoln says
Biden-Harris are attempting to make telling the truth about islam illegal.
What about the First Amendment?
somehistory says
James, that document to which you referred on another page, posted by Pamela Geller years ago, said they would go through the States to make ‘hate speech’ laws apply to speech about islam.
And by singling out mozlums for protection, they have already put one religion over all others, which goes against the Constitution about that very thing.
They don’t care what the Constitution doesn’t allow…they’ll do those things anyhow (sung to that old tune about Mama and what she ‘don’t allow.”)
James Lincoln says
Yes, I know, somehistory.
Tragic, though…
