Muslims now own the mass media, apparently, and any charge levied against an infidel by them, newsworthy or not, becomes a big news item, such as the hijab-wearing 11-year-old girl in Canada who lied about being attacked by an “Islamophobe”; a Huffington Post writer still wrote that she deserved an apology. Now comes more big […]
Dallas: Hijabbed Muslima claims she was violently assaulted for being Muslim and passersby helped attacker
If Jenan Ayesh is telling the truth, her attacker should be found and tried for assault. Here is what Jenan Ayesh says in this video about the attack: “On Saturday, my family and I were in the Reunion Tower. We all had a great time. And in the evening, when we decided to go home, […]
New York City: Muslim Community Patrol now patrolling Muslim neighborhoods
The Muslim Community Patrol will doubtless be on the lookout for incidents of “Islamophobia,” that is, anti-Muslim “hate crimes,” which is entirely unnecessary, since the NYPD exists, and such incidents are actually quite rare according to FBI hate crime statistics — much less common than incidents of anti-Semitism. Will the Muslim Community Patrols also be […]
Canada: Synagogue backs out of hosting conference on threats to freedom and rule of law after “Islamophobia” charges
The conference has not been canceled, but it will not be held at Beth Tikvah Synagogue. This is because there were not only “security concerns,” which is bad enough, as kowtowing to violent intimidation only invites more violent intimidation; there were also charges of “Islamophobia” from Michael Coren, the ex-Catholic author of Why Catholics Are […]
UK Muslim whines about “pernicious Islamophobia” at Christmas
While poor Bilal Hassam is beset by “Islamophobia,” here are some recent news items from the real world: Benedict Kiely Real Clear Politics reported last Tuesday that Christians in Iraq face a new threat from “Popular Mobilization Units,” who in the town of Karamles, near Mosul, recently blocked a road that led to a church, […]
The opposition to Shahid Shafi is not because of bigotry or hysteria over Sharia
There is an ongoing controversy over Shahid Shafi, vice chairman of the Tarrant County Republican Party, about which Hugh Fitzgerald has written here and here over the last few days. And now, Jim Geraghty sums up what Shafi’s defenders have maintained all along: that opposition to Shafi is all about anti-Muslim bigotry, from beginning to […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Shahid Shafi’s Texas Morality Tale
The media line, which has nothing to do with reality, goes like this: some Know-Nothings — Texans and Republicans (need we say more?), the kind of people whom the Southern Poverty Law Center will denounce in a New York minute — are at it again, calling into question a fine fellow and all-round nice guy, […]
Trump names Heather Nauert UN ambassador, Hamas-linked CAIR calls her an “Islamophobe”
Who appointed CAIR the ultimate arbiter on who should occupy positions of authority? Western cowards have allowed the group to claim this status. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on the Trump administration to withdraw its nomination of Heather Nauert for the position of […]
Georgia: Muslim family claims that driver made obscene gestures and swerved into their lane because they were Muslim
This is absurd. A driver gave the occupants of another car the finger and swerved into their lane? That happens innumerable times every day. Only when it happens to hijab-wearing Muslims does it become a “hate crime.” But it’s obviously spurious. Remember: hate crimes today are a big business. Hamas-linked CAIR, which is, predictably enough, […]
UK: Muslims demand criminalization of “Islamophobic” “racism” that targets their “Muslimness”
Muslims in the UK are demanding full legal protection from “Islamophobia,” and the definition of “Islamophobia” has finally been articulated: Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness. There are already hate crime laws in the UK: A hate crime can include verbal abuse, […]
