The claiming of coveted victimhood status takes place in the U.S. also, regarding 9/11. In neither country is any official of any influence disposed to speak about jihad; they’re far more interested in talking about “Islamophobia” and reinforcing Muslims’ spurious victimhood status. And so the jihad will continue to advance.
“‘We are in a dangerous place’: British Muslims on the fallout from 7/7 attack 20 years on,” by Geneva Abdul, Guardian, July 6, 2025:
For many in the British Muslim community, the tragedy of 7 July 2005 lives long in the memory. The bombings sent shockwaves through the nation but also marked a turning point that left many grappling with grief, fear and a new scrutiny of their identity.
Twenty years on, feelings of suspicion, isolation and hostility experienced in the aftermath of the attacks have, for some, only worsened after decades of UK counter-terrorism policies, and a political landscape they say has allowed Islamophobia to flourish.
“The emotional and social toll of 7/7 on Muslim communities was profound and is felt by many to this day,” said the imam Qari Asim.
After the four London bombings, which killed 52 people and injured more than 700, police recorded 180 racist incidents in three days, of which 58 were faith-related, and mosques were targeted with arson. A Guardian poll at the time found two-thirds of Muslims considered leaving the UK afterwards.
Asim, who was living in Leeds, where three of the four bombers were from, recalled the community feeling a collective sense of grief as the country mourned. But there was also an additional, silent layer of suffering for the Muslim community, he said: guilt and the need to justify their sense of belonging.
As international media descended on Leeds, Asim organised a peace walk with other local places of worship, and joined mosques across the country in focusing their Friday sermons on solidarity and rejecting extremist ideologies. But he also recalled the psychological impact in the aftermath, such as the fear on people’s faces when he entered lifts. He had to stop carrying a rucksack when he travelled.
“Islamophobia has consistently increased in the last 20 years, and that’s not just due to extremism and terrorism but also a multitude of factors,” Asim said….

I commented with the Guardian on this. This wretch of a media organisation has become insane.

Did they bother to publish your comment? Or just delete/block you for being an evil islamophobe?
M Garvin says
Hi, they banned me from their forums years ago. I send these people emails from time to time. Only have received replies twice to acknowledge theiy printed incorrect information which printed as correction. 99% of the time they never correct anything on their rag.
abu taleb says
If Islam tells its followers to terrorize non muslims and muslims can become terrorists, then it is not Islamophobia to fear Islam and muslims.
8:12 ˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when your Lord revealed to the angels, “I am with you. So make the believers stand firm. I will cast horror into the hearts of the disbelievers. So strike their necks and strike their fingertips.”
Valeria Washington says
And he has a complicit prime minister and a dhimmi monarch to echoe
BTeboe says
Stop terrorizing the world and maybe the Islamophobia would also stop. It’s not really a phobia if you mean to kill people, which you do. Which you’re required to do. But as long as you keep it up, people are going to hate on you. Capiche.
End PC says
They can’t stop terrorism, their beloved Muhammad said “I have been made victorious through terror”. Islam aims to rule and requires its muslims to work toward that.
M Garvin says
Islamic terror predates Bush, Blair, Trump or even Netenyahu
Edith Weberbauer says
I call it Islamorealism.
somehistory says
It’s a broken record….a full album, long playing song of ‘poor us,”..
“.We lie, cheat, rape and murder and no one wants to be near us. Poor us, we lie cheat, whine, rape and murder and people say we are terrorists.
We know we are the best; we know we are meant to rule over others, but when we lie, cheat, whine, rape and murder, people get that phobia feeling,
yes that phobia feeling and they want us gone, gone gone…woooaaahhhaao
Ugly, disgusting son of satan. lying through his teeth…as they all do.
rick says
Islamophobia in 2025 is the same as Nazi-phobia was in 1936 – 1945

Exactly!

He just wants the Infidels to believe this–and all too many do.
Billy says
Islam is a totalitarian system of discrimination and deceit against all Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 7:99; 8:30; 3:54, etc.). Allah teaches and promotes terrorism, hatred, and violence by Muslims against Jews and Christians because Infidelity, Unbelief, and Blasphemy are a CRIME AGAINST ALLAH(Quran 9:29; 60:4; 98:6-7, etc.). Demonic Allah in Quran 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” See also Quran 2:63-65; 3:115; 4:144; 5:59-60, 82; 7:166.
Further, Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”
Tony says
Islamophobia, a supposedly exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of Islam, is a MUSLIM, IDEOLOGICAL SUBVERSION AND CENSORSHIP TOOL OF DECEIT (1) to help challenge and silence criticism of Islam, (2) to help expand Islam’s Acceptance in a society, and (3) to help conceal supremacist Islam’s funding, teaching, and promotion of Muslim Terrorist Organizations(MTO), terrorism, discrimination, assassinations, and violence against Non-Muslims(Quran 4:74-76; 9:12, etc.). Benjamin Franklin said, “Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” Islam is a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise and an Antichrist Ideology which violates USA Law, and Muslims are Allah’s terrorists against Non-Muslims(Quran 60:4; 9:5, 29, 111, etc.).
Once freedom of speech and expression is extinguished by the NON-MUSLIM STATE, opposition to Islam is not likely successful in Courts of Law. In Islamic Law and in the Quran, Islam’s Community Obligation(Legal Standard from Quran 3:104) – “Command the Right and Forbid the Wrong” and from the Islamic Law Manual(Reliance of the Traveler… q1.0 and more) teaches Muslims as Terrorists for Allah to subjugate and to control Non-Muslims using Muslim wars and Islamic Law, Shariah.
Allah’s Islam, an Antichrist Ideology, in the West is using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims to conquer Non-Muslims under Islamic Rule. Consequently, Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) where Mosques, Muslim Schools, and Muslim Organizations are banned because of their segregation and discrimination to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, discrimination, and tyrannical violence(Quran 9:5,29,111; 60:4; 98:6-7, etc.).
M Garvin says
I have a more simple definition of islamophobia:
Islamophobia is an irrational fear of Islam. People who say why they don’t want Islam know why. Only so-called moderate Muslims who do not subscribe to the true and violent nature of Islam (Quran 47:4, 2:191…) are Islamophobic because they are the only ones that live in fear for not accepting the true nature of islam.
M Garvin says
I’m afraid that is never going to happen. I think the US might be able to resist so might be Eastern Europe. But Western Europe is toast . There are other areas where Europe is for some unfathomable reason committing suicide, and has decided it won’t do anything. I’m thinking certain economic areas and industrial sectors but it has decided it will simply throw its arms up and raise the while flag rather than resist. If this serves as an example for what it teaches us about Europe then basically it’s too late. I wish we had a different crop of leaders. There are excellent leaders in Europe but they just have to be brushed with the same old far right rethoric and it shuts all debate down. It’s pure madness.
M Garvin says
I owe everything to David Wood. He has totally helped awaken to Islam. I had a pretty naive understand of it like most Westerners, until I started watching David’s videos. I’m eternally grateful for his work.

UK imam says Muslims were the real victims of 7/7 jihad attacks, ‘Islamophobia has consistently increased’

Yeah–what is being brutally murdered compared to getting occasional nervous looks from the ‘filthy Infidels’?
dumbledoresarmy says
Imagine if in the mid-1930s anyone in the UK or USA, France or the Netherlands who expressed misgivings about the contents of Mein Kampf, or worried about the rise of the Third Reich, were screechingly accused of “Naziphobia”, told they were ignorant and irrational, and with wagging fingers told over and over that all Nazis or most Nazis were really terribly nice people…and that the Brownshirts and the Blackshirts were just “a tiny minority of extremists” who weren’t representative of *real* Nazism…
What if criticism of the Nazi ideology and of Herr Hitler had been criminalised… not just in Germany itself, but .. across the rest of the western world??
What if people had been arrested .. in the UK.. for stating that they rejected and indeed despised the ideology encapsulated in Mein Kampf? Imprisoned for hurting the feelings of Nazis and of Nazi sympathisers…??
What if people had gone about in SS or Gestapo uniforms or wearing Nazi swastika badges, proudly flaunting swastika flags and shouting “Heil Hitler”… ??? And then screamed “Naziphobia!!!!” and threatened to sue, if anyone challenged them with awkward questions about the treatment of gays, the disabled and Jews, within the Third Reich?
Fear of Nazism … fear of the Third Reich.. was rational and justified.
Fear of ISLAM… fear and suspicion of its card-carrying bearded or behijabbed declared cult members.. is ALSO rational and justified.
It’s not a crime.
And white hot righteous ANGER in response to the horrific crimes committed by Muslims – such as the sexual abuse of thousands of vulnerable non-Muslim lower-class girls in the UK – is rational and justified; because those crimes can be related directly to the contents of the Muslim cult texts, just as atrocious Nazi behaviour flowed directly from the craziness of “Mein Kampf”.
M Garvin says
I often compare the 2 books actually. When Hitlet came to prominence he was at great pains to never mention that book again or he would distance himself from it. Noawadays, the islamists don’t even have to do that work temselves, they have the stupid infidels to do that for them

jerry glenn says
If we are talking about what has increased, let’s start with Islamopandering.
Dalacs says
Muslims are hypocrites. If a Muslim is harmed by a non-Muslim in an area that is Muslim majority, then all other innocent non-Muslims will be attacked by other Muslims.
OLD GUY says
Islamophobia is designed to slow down the reaction and response to islamic terrorism. The longer islam can keep people believing there is nothing to see the more rape, violence and murder they can carry out without a response from us.
As long as we sit on our hands and allow them to commit terror they will continue to do so. The only way to stop islamic terrorism is to destroy it.
