In the run-up to the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 jihad attacks, and on the day itself, the establishment media is going to inundate us with feature stories about “Islamophobia.” This brief blurb accompanying an NPR broadcast is typical of what we’re going to see: the term itself is never defined. We’re told that “assaults” on Muslims surged after 9/11, but that term isn’t defined, either. Were large numbers of Muslims in the U.S. physically attacked? Or do rude encounters involving verbal assaults also count as “assaults” for NPR?
Also, Rozina Ali and NPR suggest that after 9/11, innocent Muslims were unjustly suspected and inconvenienced. That’s unfortunate, if true, but was anyone guilty? Did the “sweeping War on Terror” that “brought arrests, deportations and surveillance into Muslim communities” ever arrest or deport or place under surveillance anyone who was guilty, or were all of the Muslims who experienced one or more of those three things all innocent? If any were guilty, could it not be argued that these law enforcement procedures were justified?
NPR and Ali also discuss “what it will take to counter Islamophobia now.” Yet both are proceeding from the assumption that the Islamic identity of the 9/11 hijackers was incidental, and had nothing really to do with why they carried out these attacks. Others who are more realistic and more honest, and/or better informed, will be aware that Islam in virtually all of its various forms does indeed, contrary to the still-prevailing myth, teach warfare against and the subjugation of unbelievers. Will Rozina Ali and NPR discuss that fact as a contributing factor to suspicion of Islam, or what they call “Islamophobia”? They most certainly will not. It is integral to the left’s entire myth of Islamophobia that Islam be seen as entirely nonviolent, non-supremacist, non-misogynistic, non-antisemitic, and wholly benign, with jihad terrorists proceeding upon a misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the religion that only bigoted “Islamophobes” conflate with the real thing.
This is a fantasy, totally detached from reality, but NPR is all in on the fantasy game.
“Rozina Ali Traces Islamophobia’s Long Shadow,” by Mina Kim and Susan Britton, NPR, September 1, 2026:
After the Sept. 11 attacks, assaults against Muslims in the U.S. surged. At the same time the U.S. government launched a sweeping War on Terror that brought arrests, deportations and surveillance into Muslim communities. Journalist Rozina Ali was a teenager at the time and remembers her father warning her, “Don’t tell anyone you’re Muslim.” In her new book, “Seasons of Fury,” Ali traces the rise and persistence of Islamophobia through the lives of four Muslim American families. We talk to her about how the War on Terror reshaped Muslim life in America and what it will take to counter Islamophobia now….

If “assaults had surged” it would be totally understandable. Evil deserves to be assaulted with Truth, and lies have enabled evil to grow.
muzzies whine about being disliked and disrespected. But, their actions, goals, intent, and so many lies call for dislike and disrespect. muzzies consider those two things as ‘assaults.’
somehistory says
Is the shooter in MN tonight a muzzie? Several dead, and two pd officers shot.

This is political correctness on steroids.

Heard that interview when it played. The host is a Muslim from Lebanon, and uses this soft voice that no doubt lures plenty of the naive into the propaganda she spews on a daily basis. Unless the listener is sophisticated enough to know to reject the ‘premises’ underlying how most of what NPR reports various stories, people are just led down the path. So in this case both the host and guest were using that voice.

CAIR is embarrassing themselves with their claims of out of control Islamophobia –

The claim by NPR that “assaults against Muslim have surged since 9/11 ” does come across and pure balderdash . If anything vicious assaults against the Jewish people has increased especially since those horrific Hamas attacks on October 7th 2023 against the Jewish citizens of the State of Israel . . By logic support for Jews should have had across the United States , but oddly and wickedly the reverse happened
Then in New York City since that Muslim, Zohan Mamdani became the mayor of NYC, the assaults and other forms of harassment against the Jewish residents of that city..
Furthermore , many Americans do make efforts to please Muslims and make them happy in America , and allow them to put up “banners” in support of Islamic causes , By contrast , many Christians are not allow to have such a “banner ”
To explain this in another way, it’s almost 25 years since that murderous Islamic jihadist attacks occurred on September 11,th 2001 . I took out my of closet a tee- shirt that I had specially made at the beach. It had the words printed on it “ Kafir and Proud of it “ The word “Kafir” is a highly derogatory Islamic slur toward a person who is not a Muslim. That term is used by Muslims who hate people who aren’t Muslims.
Since the 25th anniversary is some coming of those horrendous jihad of 9/11affronts and the violent and menacing Muslim terrorists do thrive on the fear of non-Muslims to feel . My tee- shirt was type of banner showing that their jihadist efforts in install fear have no intimidation effect on me at all .That is my message.
At the local town library, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the librarian chief ,on 8/31/ 26 , literally yelled out at me “Walter, you are not allowed in library when you wear that tee –shirt.” He was very adamant about that. I then asked “How about I wear in inside out ? He replied “No leave immediately.”
Yet only late last year that same library allowed a local Islamic society to paint on the outside grounds of that same library a cement stab open the public view the words “Free Palestine “ with thoset four terrorist colors of Hamas on it , Also it had the words “From the River the Sea.” Which commit genocide against all Jewish people and destroy the State of Israel. I told that same Liberian chief that meaning of the panting and he brushed me off. Later a middle-aged Jewish couple entered that library, complained about that anti -Jewish, anti-Israel slab painting explain to him exactly that the paining means, the same thing that I had said to him. To them he answered, “The library doesn’t condone that paining but we allow it because of the right to freedom of speech.”
What about the “freedom of speech “ for me to wear that “Kafi and Proud of it “ at that same library.
The politically correct ideology of appeasement to the Islamic groups is obvious. So this the it’s double standards.
Joe says
The goal of islamophobia claims is getting more appeasement to the Muslims. The sad thing is it’s working.

Is CAIR going to stand up for me if the radical muslims take over and they will if nothing is done to stop them. One individual at a demonstration in Time’s Square said one day all of the bouroughs in New York will be muslim whether the people like it or not. I don’t want to be a muslim. It is one of the most disgusting religions in existance today. The moderate muslims are not going to stand up for me. They are going to go along to get along just like they do in Afghanistan and Iran today.
Walter Sieruk says
The heading of this jihad watch article is “NPR claims that after 9/11, ‘Assaults against Muslims in the U.S. surged” The first two words of that title are ” NPR claims..’ It’s worth noting ,.that anyone can make a claim about anything but proving that claim to be valid and true is another matter entirely.
SARGON says
NPR is FULL of 100% unadulterated male bovine feces! Islam is6. the bane of humanity and should be stricken from the face of the Earth!
tgusa says
The left have developed an incurable case of the boy who cried wolf syndrome. Unfortunately they didn’t read the fable all the way through. Remember all those random stabbings of muslims in the wake of 9-11?
The left…We know you know we lie all the time but trust us this time because we are not lying now.
“Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.”
