“The goal is to really underscore how the war on terror is so rooted in Islamophobia and to really lift up the story of the ways that Muslims have been impacted.” The irony here is that for the most part, the “war on terror” scrupulously avoided even the appearance of “Islamophobia” by dissembling about and […]
Canada: Muslim Liberal candidate dropped for anti-Semitism blames Liberals, hits Islamophobia, demands reinstatement
An update on this story. At his press conference, imam Hassan Guillet notes that his anti-Semitic statements were public, and that Liberal Party officials knew or should have known about them when they chose him as a candidate. So as always, it’s someone else’s fault. Islamic supremacists never, ever, take responsibility for their actions. And […]

My latest in PJ Media: Qasim Rashid, an Ahmadi Muslim who is running as a Democrat for the Virginia State Senate, is enraged at the dirty tricks of his opponent, Richard Stuart. “My Republican opponent,” fumed Rashid in a video last week, “is launching anti-Muslim, Islamophobic attacks against me questioning my loyalty to the United […]

Tlaib blames “Palestinian” honor killing on “toxic masculinity” and “Israeli military occupation”
You can’t possibly be surprised by this at this point. The “toxic masculinity” bit is clever. In trying to use a “Palestinian” Islamic honor killing to weaken further American men and make them less likely to and capable of defending their homeland — you have to give Tlaib points for imagination, as well as audacity. […]
Philadelphia: Muslim named Aziz considering legal action after his name is written “ISIS” at Starbucks
That there is a furor over this incident at all shows that there is no serious problem of genuine anti-Muslim bigotry (as opposed to honest analysis of the motivating ideology of Islamic jihad, which is routinely and falsely characterized as bigotry) in the United States.

Tlaib blames jihad murder of Israeli teen on “Israeli occupation”

Extremism that puts innocent lives at risk moves us no closer to peace.” She said not a word about the […]
Shock horror in the UK: Muslim discovers his favorite sandwich is not halal

Would the Mirror, or any of the other “news” outlets that have run variations of the article below, publish an article about an observant Jewish man who was unknowingly consuming pork, or a Hindu who accidentally ate beef? Of course not. But Muslim victimhood is a big business for […]
