“The Muslim Council of Scotland and the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities said they were standing together against antisemitism and Islamophobia.” The two terms are not similar. Islamophobia is a charge designed to restrict criticism of Islam, even political Islam and Sharia oppression. It is an Organization of Islamic Cooperation initiative to erode free speech. […]
UK: Graphic novel depicting Muslim suicide bomber pulled from publication for “Islamophobia”
It sounds as if it was a stupid book: “When a young boy enters a library wearing an explosive vest hidden underneath his lovely new red jacket, he has only one plan on his mind. But as he observes those around him becoming captivated by the books they are reading, the boy can’t help but […]
UK MP’s call for “Islamophobia” to be classed as “racism,” want to criminalize claims that Islam spread by the sword
“However, the report cites other arguments from Oxford University student Bertie Vidgen, that ‘giving up the term Islamophobia – and with it the possibility of creating legal instruments to tackle it – simply because of the perceived risk that may limit free speech would be highly misguided.’” Why is the UK Parliament citing a university […]
University Muslim Student Associations combating “Islamophobia” through “Meet a Muslim Day”
The Muslim Student Association recently hosted a “Meet a Muslim Day” at Cal Poly Pomona. Similar events have been held at universities across the continent. The celebration of the harmless aspects of cultures (such as food, music, dance) should be what “diversity” initiatives are about, but they have become politicized and are often run by […]
Bollywood film highlights “Islamophobia”: “It’s disturbing to realise that a particular religion is being targeted”
Here we go again: a new Bollywood movie presents Muslims as victims, never mentioning the multitudes who are the victims of Islamic jihadis. After working in a critically acclaimed film Mulk, which talked about Islamophobia and dealt with other social issues, Bollywood starlet Taapsee Pannu feels happy but disturbed at the same time. “I am […]
FBI: Anti-Semitic incidents surge, anti-Muslim hate crimes drop in 2017
Year after year, FBI hate crime statistics belie the establishment media myth that Muslims in the U.S. are subjected to widespread persecution, harassment, and discrimination. No targeting of any innocent person, Muslim or non-Muslim, is ever justified; the massive societal concern (and obsession on campuses) with “Islamophobia” and relative indifference to anti-Semitism is not reflected […]
Australia: Muslim leaders enraged by PM’s call for them to be “proactive” against “extremist Islam”
Australian Grand Mufti Ibrahim Abu Mohamed and “a group of other senior Muslim figures” said that Morrison’s remarks “which infer that the community is collectively culpable for the criminal actions of individuals and should be doing more to prevent such acts of violence.” This is a common dodge, but it has no substance. Morrison isn’t […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: “Islamophobia” Outbreak in California
A Muslim was found with a Qur’an, a book on terrorism, and a sawed-off rifle. What else could this be but “Islamophobia”? My latest in FrontPage: The San Francisco Chronicle has discovered a case of “Islamophobia,” and their intrepid reporters are on the job: “An Alameda County prosecutor,” we’re told, “recently held up an unusual […]
Muslim “comedian” slams TV series for “Islamophobia,” its writer says he knows terrorism is “different from Islam”
Hasan Minhaj is one of the legion of today’s painfully unfunny “comedians” who think that repeating Leftist talking points and mocking their opponents is “comedy.” Here he takes on the TV series “Bodyguard,” claiming it is “Islamophobic.” (“Islamphobia,” let us remember, is a smear propaganda term designed to intimidate people into fearing to oppose jihad […]
Australia: Muslims outraged, demand apology over PM’s calling out “radical, violent Islam” after jihad attack
“The Muslim community will not be scapegoated and we will endeavour to keep Australia safe where we can, but the actions of a mentally ill person suffering from a psychotic episode, is not the fault of a whole religious community.” Now wait a minute. He was screaming “Allahu akbar” during his attack, and not only […]
