Ilhan Omar’s message here is a familiar one: that Muslims were the real victims of 9/11. That they had “their civil rights stripped from them.” That they were now all being treated as suspects. None of this is true. There was no wholesale targeting of innocent Muslims after 9/11. FBI hate crime statistics year after […]
Courageous! “Avengers: Endgame” directors take on “Trumpian Islamophobia”
The Daily Beast really does think that Joe and Anthony Russo are being courageous in presenting Muslims in a positive manner, and the Russos claim that theirs is “the first film to represent Arabs in a positive way, Iraqis in a positive way and Muslims in a positive way.” That is, of course, absurd. Virtually […]
Scotland: Muslims scream ‘racism’ over new law to stop female genital mutilation
In an absurd accusation: A law to tackle female genital mutilation is racially motivated because it excludes intimate piercings and cosmetic surgery, black and Muslim campaigners have claimed. Any challenge to the abusive practices that are sanctioned in Islam comes with the inevitable parroting of accusations about racism and “Islamophobia.” In Reliance of the Traveller […]
At the Islamic Association of Greater Hartford, Young Muslims Coached to Handle the Media (Part 3)
Students at a Muslim Sunday school in central Connecticut are being taught by Dr. Reza Mansoor to be “media-savvy.” In previous posts, we discussed their sadness at the way Muslims are too often mistreated by those who cannot get beyond 9/11, about their need, according to Dr Mansoor, to clear up “misconceptions” about the faith […]
“It’s flat-out stereotyping of Muslims and Arabs”: NJ mayor enraged at being questioned on return from Turkey
“It’s flat-out insulting,” he said. “It’s flat-out stereotyping of Muslims and Arabs.” Yet Islamic jihadis have committed over 35,000 jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11. Should Muslims be entirely exempt from this questioning? Or should only Muslim mayors be presumed to be stalwart patriots and never questioned? I myself have been detained and questioned more than […]
At the Islamic Association of Greater Hartford, Young Muslims Coached to Handle the Media (Part 2)
“Just imagine someone calling you a terrorist and telling you to go home,” Aissa Bensalem, 17, said during the class. “I had one of my friends say that they were scared to come to the masjid because they were afraid that they were going to be shot on.” [sic] Yes, Aissa has unwittingly used the […]
DC: Muslim researcher complains that war on terror was “rooted in Islamophobia” and “exclusively targeted Muslims”
“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 […]
Sinead O’Connor blames “Islamophobia” for saying she never wanted to “spend time with white people again”
The idea that Islam is a race and that “white people” is a group that is distinct from “Muslims” is a staple of the moronic British media, but hasn’t Sinead O’Connor been studying Islam? Didn’t her instructors tell her that there are Muslims of all races? Isn’t she herself a white Muslim? She is a […]
Michigan church cancels “Is Michigan surrendering to Islam?” event under pressure from Hamas-linked CAIR
Writing about 9/11 this morning, I wrote: “The jihad threat can emanate from anywhere the Qur’an and Sunnah are preached and believed. But saying that in America eighteen years after 9/11 won’t result in any public consternation or calls for the monitoring of mosques; it will only get you defamed as a ‘racist’ and an […]
Virginia: Muslim State Senate Candidate Cries ‘Islamophobia’ When He’s Quoted
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 […]
