On Christmas morning, a man drove up to the Islamic Cultural Center in Fresno, threw rocks through the windows, and then entered the center and destroyed things inside. The local ABC outlet, KFSN, reported Friday that “Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer says it is clear the incident is a hate crime which is why the FBI is also investigating this case.” But on Saturday, it turned out that the incident was not an “anti-Muslim hate crime” at all: the vandal was Asif Mohammad Khan, a Muslim. The destruction at the Islamic Cultural Center in Fresno was yet another in a long series of fake hate crimes designed to prop up the fiction that Muslims in the U.S. are routinely targets of discrimination and harassment.

According to Khan’s sister Samia, the vandal is (like the recent French attackers who screamed “Allahu akbar” while trying to kill infidels) mentally ill. She also said that he was a devout Muslim who prayed five times daily. Dyer revealed that Khan had in recent days written that Osama bin Laden was the most inspirational person in his life. Dyer explained that Khan’s vandalism of the mosque “was not geared towards the Islamic community, it was not geared to the Islamic faith or any of those things and was simply to get back at a few people at the center who had belittled him and in his eyes bullied him.”

Dyer and other law enforcement authorities were extremely unlikely to consider it as they investigated Khan’s crimes, but the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Muslims have on many occasions in the past not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. CAIR and other groups like it want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they can use them for political points and as weapons to intimidate people into remaining silent about the jihad threat.

This has happened many times in 2014. Here are five of the most egregiously manipulative examples:

1. The Saleh and Akbar viral video.

In October, the Muslim bloggers Adam Saleh and Sheikh Akbar released a video entitled “Racial Profiling Experiment.” It showed the duo in Western clothing, coming to blows in front of an indifferent NYPD cop. In the second part of the video, they pass by the same cop in Muslim garb, arguing mildly – only to be harassed and frisked by the same policeman.

The video went viral. The Huffington Post hysterically proclaimed that it offered a “small glimpse into the ugly world of racial profiling.” Hamas-linked CAIR called for an investigation. But then it turned out that the whole thing had been staged. The Smoking Gun called the video a “cynical and duplicitous attempt to capitalize on New York City’s documented racial profiling problems.”

2. The German mosque arson.

Another “Islamophobic” hate crime took place in Germany in February, when there was an arson attack at the Central Mosque in Cologne. But in October, a Muslim who had been held in a psychiatric ward ever since he had been arrested (as the mainstream media and law enforcement officials have now apparently agreed that all Muslims who commit acts of violence are mentally ill) confessed to having set the fire.

“I wanted to make a clear sign,” the arsonist explained. “Because they treated me badly at the Koran school. It has always hurt me.” He also had tried to burn down two other mosques; it wasn’t reported whether or not he had been to Qur’an school and been treated badly in all three. But until he was apprehended, his arson attacks provided rich material for the “Islamophobia” mythmakers.

3. The burned Qur’ans in Dearborn.

Last June, after three burned Qur’ans were found in front of the Karbalaa Islamic Educational Center in Dearborn, the mosque’s imam, Sheikh Husham Al-Husainy met with lawyers to discuss his proposal for a statute criminalizing the desecration of holy books. “We want all of the religions to cooperate with us,” he declared, “to bring respect to the word of God, whether the Quran, Bible, or Torah.”

But as it turned out, the Qur’an barbecuer was none other than a Muslim named Ali Hassan Al-Assadi. Al-Husainy opined that al-Assadi was (surprise, surprise) “mentally unstable.” Crazy or not, the discovery that al-Assadi had burned the Qur’ans threw a large monkey wrench into al-Husainy’s plans to use the incident as the cornerstone of his campaign against the freedom of expression.

4. The Montclair State University attack.

Combine the relentless Muslim striving for victimhood with the cult of victimhood on college campuses these days, and even non-Muslims get into the faked hate act. Last April at Montclair State University in New Jersey, a student claimed that three white men in jeans and hoodies assaulted him. They called him an “Islamic terrorist.”

MSU police began an investigation, only to find that the whole incident was a hoax: a student named Navjoat Aulakh had filed a false report. Aulakh may not even be a Muslim. His full name is Navjoat Singh Aulakh; “Singh” is a name closely associated with Sikhs. The Aulakhs are a Jat clan from the Punjab area, and while many Jats are Muslims, the name Singh here suggests that this young man is himself a Sikh. His Facebook page gives no sign that he cares about much of anything but sports and babes, but apparently he does have some significant political concerns. If he is a Sikh, this would by no means be the first time that Sikhs have served as useful idiots for the Islamic supremacist victimhood posturing enterprise. Sikhs even stood with Hamas-linked CAIR to call for the allowance of hijabs on an amusement park go-kart ride that had already seen one Muslima killed as her hijab was caught in the axle.

In this case, a Sikh apparently tried to aid the false Muslim victimhood narrative. And failed.

5. The Shaima Alawadi murder.

Last April in El Cajon, California, an Iraqi Muslim named Kassim Alhimidi was found guilty of murdering his wife, Shaima Alawadi, after she had told him that she wanted a divorce.

Before Alhimidi was arrested, this murder was widely reported as an “Islamophobic hate crime”: a note was found by Alawadi’s body that read, “Go back to your country, you terrorist.” Leftists and Islamic supremacists made a great deal of this, claiming that the murder was the work of an “Islamophobe” who hated Shaima Alawadi for wearing a hijab. They even staged a campaign, “One Million Hijabs for Shaima Alawadi.”

Reza Aslan, the celebrated author of Zealot, bashed out a sub-literate tweet blaming Pamela Geller and me for the murder: “If a 32 year old veiled mother is a terrorist than [sic] so am I you Islamophobic fucks Gellar [sic] Spencer et. [sic] al. Come find me.” This tweet indicated how much mileage the “Islamophobia” propaganda machine thought it could get from the Alawadi murder in its efforts to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror.

Yet it was another fake hate crime. And since the mainstream media remains so uncritical about Muslim claims of having been victimized, there will be many more in 2015.

    Well it didn’t happen in 2014, but in Australia there was a notorious “Islamophobic hate crime” whereby a mosque in Lakemba, Sydney was vandalised. The Imam of the mosque al-din Hilaly, who was also the Grand Mufti of Australia and New Zealand, brought a great deal of media attention to the incident – a media all too willing to publicize Islamophobic hate crimes. Unfortunately the Imam forgot to turn off the CCTV at the time; which showed that it was him who personally perpetrated the vandalism.

    In a disingenuous attempt to deflect from the global Jihad menace, Muslim propagandists and their lamestream media collaborators fabricate and hype anti-Muslim attacks in order to portray Muslims as innocent victims.

    seems the “mentally ill” mantra gains popularity in the left and official public statements of governments.

    Great try to disconnect the religion of peace from its deeds and members.

      So, every follower of the pedophile, murderer, rapist, beheader, evil false prophet is mentally ill. What else the appologists for islam is going to come up with in order to protect the evil death loving cult?

    I DON’T HATE THEM. JUST WANT THEM ALL EXPELLED FROM WESTERN COUNTRIES BEFORE WE CALL THE EXTERMINATOR TO GET IT DONE.

      throw them all into the lake of fire

      I HATE THEM FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE AND DO TO OTHER PEOPLE AND ARE HERE IN MY COUNTRY PLANNING TO DO THE SAME TO ME.
      HATE is a tool for self preservation, in my opinion. I imagine it was the left who came up against HATE as being destructive, to weaken opposition to them. The word hate became maligned and became a bad word to be avoided and shamed. You should not hate, forgive your abuser, the murderer of your child, it’s so high and lofty. Hate is un-Christian…love thy enemy…well, see what has happened and is happening to Christians in the ME and is going to happen to us if we allow the MSM (muslim supporting media) to continue to protect and coddle the alligators (aka muslims) who want to devour us.The pacifists through history have been destroyed by the stronger bullies.In the beginning, Christians were being anihilated by being pacifists, until they decided to fight back. The Bhudists, pacifists by nature, in Thailand are finally fighting back the muslim murderes who are killing budhists in order to cleanse the region. It’s the same problem wherever muslims are and reach a certain number in the population, they start persecuting and killing the infidels. The alligator will devour the meek bunny because that’s what alligators do.

    ISLAMIC CONTROLLED COUNTRIES ARE RACIST TO INFIDELS.
    TIME for MUSLIM Men from the WEST and HELP us INFIDELS!

    Are there Muslims in the world who do not want the violence they see extremist perpetrating? Yes of course but they usually are apologetic Western Muslims who are trying hard to convert westerners to their form of “true Islam”!

    You Muslims should take a leave of absence from the West and go to the 30+ Islamic countries who based on their Quran belief, make us Infidels 2nd class citizens, forced to pay a tax and many times we are killed for being Jew, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, having a Bible, talking about Jesus, saying there is no God, being Gay or whatever is perceived as hurting their all powerful AhhLaa who can’t do anything without human help!

    Then after you change those ‘fake’ Muslims, come back and tell us about the
    religion of peace.

    In the USA and most Western Nations a person is allowed to believe what we want. We have this freedom because of the past Christians who helped establish US Laws based on Judo/Christian principles.
    Not so in Islam lands for us Infidels … they are racists!

    And so why are you Muslims here? GO … Change them fake Muslims first.

    Can I build a Church or Synagogue in Saudi Arabia?
    Western Muslim’s – so are the Saudi’s are fake Muslims?

    This is a sign of a false deity … ‘it’ requires humans to help meet the goal.
    False deities ask human followers to help their religion because there is no power without it.
