Professional victim Linda Sarsour has been all over this case, writing in the Guardian: “A Muslim woman was set on fire in New York. Now just going out requires courage.” Her goal? “The irresponsible and rhetorical vilification of Muslims in this current election cycle is leading to violent acts against members of a faith community […]
Accused jihadi’s trial postponed until after election because of “virulent anti-Muslim rhetoric”
“A US judge has agreed to delay the terror trial of a former Sydney resident until after the US presidential election after it was claimed ‘virulent anti-Muslim rhetoric’ could dash his chances of an impartial jury.” There are several false assumptions in play here. One is that people are suspicious of Muslims because of “anti-Muslim […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Those Danish Right-Wing “Racists,” Their “Harsh” Demands and “Hate” Speech
The other day the New York Times published a story about how Danes are souring on Muslim immigrants, and how some feel guilty about it: Johnny Christensen, a stout and silver-whiskered retired bank employee, always thought of himself as sympathetic to people fleeing war and welcoming to immigrants.

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: When Are Islamic Terrorists Not Islamic Terrorists?
When they commit Islamic terrorism, of course. My latest in FrontPage: “Islamophobia” is running rampant in the heretofore bucolic town of Owego, New York, and Muslims are worried. Are marauding bands of “right-wing extremists” pulling hijabs off little old Muslim ladies and daubing swastikas on the walls of mosques? No, the “Islamophobia” in question appears […]
Muslims enraged that 9/11 monument in small New York town calls perpetrators “Islamic terrorists”
“The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier worries the wording could encourage hatred toward Muslims living in the area, painting all Muslims with the same brush.” This is an oft-used and tired talking point. How does identifying the motivating ideology of the 9/11 attackers paint all Muslims with the same brush? Does referring to the […]
UK’s Express: Muslims fear backlash as Eid falls on September 11
“MUSLIMS fear they could be targeted in violent attacks as the holy day of Eid could fall on 11 September for the first time since 9/11.” How likely is it that Muslims celebrated Eid will be the victims of violent attacks?

Palestinian Authority: Jerusalem Wine Festival “an affront to Islam”
The principle is always and everywhere the same: when you’re in a Muslim country, you should conform your behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities.

Oklahoma: Muslim charged in terrorism hoax after sending white powder to mosque
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. A New Jersey Muslim was found guilty of murder that he tried to portray as an “Islamophobic” attack, and in 2014 […]
