Fifteen years? For vandalism? He smashed lights, cameras, and windows at a mosque, and left some bacon by the front door. The vandalism is inexcusable and the bacon obnoxious, but fifteen years? The sentence, says AP, “had a hate crime enhancement.” In other words, he is being made an example of. Because he did this […]
Latest FBI Hate Crime report shows “no anti-Muslim backlash”
“The myth of a post-9/11 ‘backlash’ against Muslims is politically motivated and spread by groups such as the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which presents itself as a civil rights group, but was founded to serve as a front organization for the terrorist group Hamas.” There you have it. “FBI Hate Crime Report: No […]
Canadian Senator Linda Frum to Trudeau: “There is nothing bigoted or Islamophobic about arresting ISIS fighters”
That this column even needed to be written is evidence of the truth of what I have long contended, that “Islamophobia” is a propaganda term designed to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror. Justin Trudeau uses it in exactly that way in response to Andrew Scheer’s question: Scheer asked him about […]
Foreign Policy on Trump’s retweets of videos showing Muslims being violent: “This is how every genocide begins”
“Despite these parallels, it may still seem like a stretch to link a few retweets to the Holocaust.” Uh, yeah. “One of the precursors to the Nazi ascendancy was the immense popularity, in the painful aftermath of World War I, of a book purporting to disclose Jews’ plans for global domination: The Protocols of the […]
Trudeau labels question about putting returning ISIS jihadis in jail as “Islamophobia”
This is a classic example of how the “Islamophobia” smear works.

Robert Spencer: “Everyone who is concerned with human rights and free society should be an Islamophobe”
“The word ‘Islamophobe’ is used to label two quite distinct phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror, plus opposition to that terror and Sharia oppression. If the latter is to be labeled Islamophobia, as it is in an attempt to discredit it […]

Guardian: “Robert Spencer, a leading American Islamophobe,” cheers Trump for tweeting about jihad violence
In the funhouse mirror that is the Leftist worldview, as indefatigably purveyed by the Guardian, foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression are “far-right hatemongers,” on par with white supremacists and other “extremists.” Jihad threat? Pah! What’s that? And so in their latest shoot-the-messenger article about President Trump’s heinous crime of retweeting videos depicting Muslims […]
Canada: Jews most targeted for hate crimes, hate crimes against Muslims decrease
“Jews also were the most targeted religious group, followed by Catholics and Muslims, despite perceptions of a rise in Islamophobia.” Indeed, Canada has an “anti-Islamophobia” motion and increasing restrictions on the freedom of speech regarding examination of how jihad terrorists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism.
