According to a new government survey to be released this week, the majority of those surveyed indicated their belief that Muslim immigrants hold “fundamentally different values” (including on the issue of women’s rights) and that “mainstream Islam promotes violence”. Attitudes of participants are already being dismissed as “Islamophobic”. The Toronto Star titled their account of the story: “Ontario facing […]
Six Canadian cities sign a charter against “Islamophobia”
The incidence of “Islamophobic” hate crimes is said to be rising, and in response, six Canadian cities have endorsed a charter against “Islamophobia,” vowing to eliminate such hate crimes. A bad move. The National Council of Canadian Muslims, formerly CAIR-CAN, drafted the charter. CAIR was deemed an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial […]
Why Canadian media went silent after Islamophobia hate crime headline hullaballoo
An “Islamophobic hate crime” made headlines across Canada after a hijab-wearing mom in London, Ontario was shouted at, spat upon and had her hijab pulled off at a grocery store. Media outlets rushed to report the incident as an appalling hate crime, while members of local Muslim groups were interviewed about Muslim victimization. But then came […]
Hillary ignores Istanbul jihad attack during town hall event, instead hits “Islamophobia”
But she did get around to releasing a written statement that said: “Today’s attack in Istanbul only strengthens our resolve to defeat the forces of terrorism and radical jihadism around the world. And it reminds us that the United States cannot retreat.” Radical jihadism. She probably never would have said even that phrase were it […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: “Civilizational Jihad” at the Urth Caffé
On April 22, at the Urth Caffé in Laguna Beach, California, seated at one of the most desirable tables – that is, those on the outside patio, in the very front, with the unobstructed view of the beach — seven Muslim women, all wearing hijabs, talked and dallied. On their table, as on all the […]
After Paris and Brussels jihad massacres, Europe to hold “Islamophobia” summit
Note the author’s disingenuousness. He says that “anti-Muslim hate crime tripled in London during December 2015,” and that “Anti-Semitic hate crime had surged to 93 percent in London by the end of 2015. Human Rights First reported a doubling in the number of anti-Semitic incidents in 2015 compared to the previous year.” But this doubling […]
In wake of Orlando massacre, Hamas-linked CAIR issues new “Islamophobia” report
Instead of announcing a program to teach young Muslims why they should reject the understanding of Islam held by the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and other jihad groups, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) held a press conference today to unveil its latest cynical and deceptive report on “Islamophobia” in the U.S. The whole “Islamophobia” […]
Washington Post: Muslims in Orlando afraid, some have been yelled at
“In the Fort, as many call this old Army post, some Muslims last week prayed in an unmarked building, while others worshiped at another nearby mosque where some recent passersby yelled ‘Murderers!’ Sheriff’s and police cars have been patrolling outside both.” That’s a shame. Those passersby are boorish. But what of the fact that the […]
NY Times: Orlando jihad massacre has spoiled Ramadan for young NY Muslims
“Salwa’s mother, Manar Al Ahamar, said that in April, outside a pharmacy in Bay Ridge, an older woman had confronted her, telling her to go back to her country and cursing her in front of her 10-year-old son, Ahmed.” That’s a shame. If it happened, it is unfortunate. Retailing it after the murder of 49 […]
