Bishop McElroy assures us: “‘I want to underscore that it is not bigotry to fear or to combat the violence and terror which some Muslims in the world have unleashed in the name of faith,’ he explained, while acknowledging that some Christians also have attempted to use their faith to justify acts of violence.” Which […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Fox to cure “Islamophobia” with Muslim sitcom
Over at PJ Media I discuss the imminent arrival of the long-awaited Muslim situation comedy: Here it is at last: the long-desired Muslim family situation comedy that is going to cure “Islamophobia” by showing racist, ignorant, xenophobic Americans that, hey, Muslims are just like us. Deadline Hollywood reported last week: Fox has given a late […]
New York Times scours the land for Islamophobia, finds it in tossed beer cans
Islamic jihadists murdered 130 people in Paris in November. Islamic jihadists murdered 14 people in San Bernardino in December. Islamic jihadists have vowed to commit mass murder on an unimaginable scale in the United States. The New York Times has never run a piece about the ideology that motivated those attacks and threats, and so […]
Huffington Post starts “Islamophobia” tracker to document “deplorable wave of hate” against Islam
Hey, great idea. And The Religion of Peace site tracks murderous jihad attacks around the world, including the U.S. Why don’t we meet back here in a year and see who has killed more people in the U.S.: Islamic jihadis or “Islamophobes.” No attacks on any innocent people are ever justified, but note also that […]
Washington Post: Islam was a religion of love, because — Taj Mahal!
Longtime Jihad Watch readers may recall Haroon Moghul, a veteran peddler of “Islamophobia” victimhood nonsense. Poor Haroon lives in a dark world where greasy, black-hearted Islamophobes lurk around every corner, such that he has to be constantly on guard, even against “Islamophobic” teen baristas: his Starbucks name is not Haroon but “Dwayne.” But despite fear […]
At last: Fox orders pilot of Muslim family sitcom
Here it is at last: the long-desired Muslim family situation comedy that is going to cure “Islamophobia” by showing racist, ignorant, xenophobic Americans that hey, look, Muslims are just like us. Katie Couric called for it during the Ground Zero Mosque controversy, saying that what America needed was a Muslim Cosby Show. Now that Bill […]
Obama to Muslims: “Your entire community so often is targeted or blamed for the violent acts of the very few”
Here again, Obama is repeating talking points from Hamas-linked CAIR and its allies. It is an extremely common complaint among Islamic supremacists in the U.S. that the entire Muslim community is being blamed for the actions of a few, that counter-terror efforts demonize innocent Muslims, and the like. Trump’s proposal for a temporary moratorium on […]
Obama at Islamic Society of Baltimore: “Muslim Americans keep us safe”
The apotheosis of the Muslim victimhood myth. FBI hate crime statistics show that the hysteria over “Islamophobia” is unfounded, but that matters not at all to Barack Obama. “Obama rebuts anti-Muslim rhetoric in first U.S. mosque visit,” by Kevin Liptak, PJ Media, February 3, 2016: (CNN)Seeking to rebut what he views as perilous election-year bombast […]
Glenn Greenwald yet again falsely claims story of US Muslim arrested in Turkish raid on Islamic State cell was false
This is an ongoing controversy, about which I wrote previously here: investigative journalist and terror analyst Patrick Poole of PJ Media reported that a Muslim from the U.S., Saadiq Long, had been arrested in Turkey during a raid on an Islamic State cell. The kicker to the story was that Long had been a media […]
Jihad terror group uses Trump soundbite in propaganda video
The mainstream media is crowing over how this video apparently vindicates the earlier claim by their favored candidate, Hillary Clinton, that Trump’s words were fueling jihad terror recruitment. See, she was right all along! Or maybe al-Shabaab decided to try to overwhelm her massive negatives and get her elected. But none of that is really […]
