The Daily Mail, as ridiculous as ever, here quotes as an authority the dishonest and discredited Islamic supremacist victimhood propagandist Fiyaz Mughal, and so the report must be taken with a considerable amount of skepticism — particularly Mughal’s claim that the Islamic hardliners at the University of Westminster are very particular regarding Sharia rules on […]
Hoax: Muslim clockmaker didn’t build clock, just put existing one into pencil box
This makes it all the more likely that this entire incident was planned: the idea was to scare school officials with a suspicious-looking object and then cry “Islamophobia.” And it is all working beyond, I expect, even their wildest expectations. Be sure to read the detailed explanation here; all I’ve reproduced below are some of […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Clock is Ticking on “Islamophobia”
In FrontPage today I discuss the exhortation “If you see something, say something” – which holds true unless the suspicious person is a Muslim. Of all the people arrested over the past week, only Ahmed Mohamed of Irving, Texas was invited to the White House as a result. This is because Mohamed is fourteen years […]
Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison carries clock in solidarity with Ahmed Mohamed
Ellison, who has taken money from the Muslim Brotherhood to fund his pilgrimage to Mecca, has long been an energetic purveyor of the Muslim victimhood scam, complaining of counter-terror efforts and claiming that they target Muslims unfairly. So it is no surprise that he would eagerly jump on Ahmed Mohamed’s victimhood story, which will have […]
CNN: Muslim teen arrested for clock because of “trickle-down Islamophobia”
This controversy is generally being framed as a choice between saying that school officials didn’t overreact or that they acted out of “Islamophobia,” as professional victim Haroon Mogul hysterically insists here. Actually, there is a third option. I believe that MacArthur High School officials ridiculously overreacted, but not because of “Islamophobia,” but because of the […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Barack Obama’s Half-Clocked Tale of Islamophobia
In PJ Media today I discuss how, as usual, Obama has assumed that Americans are bigots before the contrary facts were in about Ahmed Mohamed’s suspicious-looking device and uncooperative behavior. Ahmed Mohamed, 14, a freshman at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, had a mind for gadgetry and a great idea: he would build his […]
Texas: Muslim student arrested for bringing clock that looked like bomb to school; Obama invites him to White House
School officials thought the clock looked like a bomb. It certainly looks more like a bomb than it does like a clock: All over the country, school officials are on constant high alert for weapons — a high alert that has more than once lapsed over into outright hysteria, with students being suspended for drawing […]
What happens when a Muslim woman is beaten in public?
Here’s your answer: passersby do nothing, doubtless for fear of being accused of “racism,” “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” Muslim women deserve better than this. Video thanks to Consciously Enlightened.
“Islamophobia” fears hamper war against the Islamic State
Indeed they do, and as I have pointed out for years, such fears don’t just hamper the fight against the Islamic State, but against all jihad terror. People are afraid of being branded “Islamophobes,” and so they do nothing to oppose jihad activity. Charges of “hatred,” “bigotry” and “Islamophobia” are powerful weapons in the hands […]
Australia: Muslim women complain that anti-terror laws make them too frightened to report domestic violence
This bizarre bid for the ever-coveted victimhood status is based on the proposition that Australia’s anti-terror laws are “Islamophobic,” you see, and thus make Muslim women distrustful of Australian authorities, to the extent that they will not hurry to them to turn in their Muslim husbands for domestic abuse. This is absurd on several levels, […]
