On October 7, Islamic terrorists invaded Israel and murdered over 1,000 people. They raped, looted, and burned families alive in their home. Those whom they did not kill, they took hostage.
According to the Biden administration’s newly announced Islamophobia strategy, however, Muslims in America were the real victims of Oct 7 just like they were the real victims of 9/11.
“Threats and acts of violence against Muslim and Arab communities have increased since the October 7 terrorist attacks,” the official White House ‘Islamophobia’ strategy claims. Muslims are also concerned “about the recent spike in incidents of hate and discrimination in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, concerns they say mirror their community’s experiences following the 9/11 attacks.”
Forget the hostages, the real issue stemming from the brutal Hamas massacres, according to the administration’s ‘strategy’ is that “members of Muslim and Arab communities have often faced obstacles in renting and using public and private gathering spaces. This issue has become more prevalent following the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.”
The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate operates out of this parallel universe in which Muslim mobs have not been attacking synagogues and assaulting Jews, or blockading Jewish students from college campuses, but have been the victims.
The Biden administration has yet to condemn the sustained harassment, boycotts and assaults on Jewish students at UCLA, CUNY and Columbia, instead it claims that “since October 7, 2023”, “Muslim and Arab students, faculty, and staff, have been subject to violence, discrimination, hate, harassment, bullying, and online targeting.”
The Islamophobia strategy provides no citation for its claim of nationwide harassment of Muslims on college campuses. Under its Department of Education Office’s for Civil Rights section its few named incidents include a University of Michigan student who claimed that “someone yelled at her that she had terrorist friends because she participated in a pro-Palestinian protest” and that “CUNY Law School cancelled an event hosted by a Muslim student group without adequate justification for doing so”.
The event in question was by the Muslim Law Students Association falsely accusing Israel of genocide for fighting against Hamas that was reportedly to feature CUNY students who had expressed support for terrorism including Fatima Mohammed who had tweeted, “i pray upon the death of the USA on a public platform “ and had urged, “grant victory to the Mujahideen” or the Jihadis, and Nerdeen Kiswani who had quipped, “I hope that pop-pop is the last noise that some Zionists hear in their lifetime!”
According to the White House Islamophobia strategy, CUNY’s failure to platform murderous hatred for America and Israel was ‘discrimination’ and ‘hate’ against Muslim students.
Meanwhile at CUNY, anti-Israel students had demanded the expulsion of most Jewish students and called to “globalize the intifada”. A CUNY professor described how “a Kingsborough/CUNY student beat a Jewish man in a kippah with a bat while yelling, ‘Kill all Jews, free Palestine.’”
But according to the Biden administration, Muslim students at CUNY are the real victims because a Muslim group’s ugly hate event was canceled “without adequate justification”
Students for Justice in Palestine, the top campus anti-Israel group, had openly celebrated and praised the atrocities of Oct 7, and campus protests featured Hamas and Hezbollah flags, but the Islamophobia strategy falsely claims that “student protestors, despite having condemned Hamas and terrorism and engaging in only peaceful protests, have been accused of supporting terrorism merely due to their advocacy for the human rights of Palestinian civilians”.
The strategy’s citation for the claim that anti-Israel students faced “violent attacks, threats, discrimination” was the UCLA encampment where a federal judge ruled that “Jewish students were excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused to denounce their faith.” Prior to what the CNN story linked in the strategy describes as Jewish violence against the terrorist encampment, multiple Jewish students and community members had been assaulted, including on camera, and a Jewish female student had been knocked unconscious.
The Biden administration’s idea of “peaceful protests” was kicking a Jewish girl in the head and it claims that students calling for Hamas to destroy Tel Aviv were “accused of supporting terrorism merely due to their advocacy for the human rights of Palestinian civilians”.
The UCLA encampment had been set up by Students for Justice in Palestine UCLA which had co-signed a statement declaring “our unwavering support of the resistance in Gaza” and taking pride in “Towfan Al-Aqsa” (the Hamas name for the October 7 massacres) “as a revolutionary moment in contemporary Palestinian resistance.”
The White House Islamophobia strategy has as little basis for the “peaceful” nature of the terrorist mobs as it does for the contention that Muslims faced a surge of violence after Oct 7.
The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate quickly discredits itself by citing hoax after hoax. It repeatedly plays up the Burlington hoax referencing “the shooting of three young men in Vermont” and the contention that “a gunman shot three college students of Palestinian descent in Burlington, Vermont,”
While a mentally ill man did shoot three Muslim men, he was a Hamas supporter.
Rather than being anti-Muslim, the gunman had tweeted, “the notion that Hamas is ‘evil’ for defending their state from occupation is absurd” and “what if someone occupied your country? Wouldn’t you fight them?” The Burlington Islamophobia hoax was so thoroughly discredited that even CAIR had given up on listing it in its litany of ‘Islamophobic’ events, but the Biden administration somehow manages to have even lower standards for the truth than CAIR.
The Islamophobia strategy also lists an incident where “an individual believed to have been involved in prior violent incidents at a Minneapolis mosque struck a man with a minivan in the mosque’s parking lot.” The individual, James Evan Suttles, was a black man who had a long list of prior violent incidents, suffered from paranoid delusions and had been committed four times to mental institutions. No hate crimes charges were brought against him over the attack.
The Biden Islamophobia strategy has to lean on such cases to manufacture the myth of Muslim victimhood because it lacks any actual substance. And it props that up with calls for censorship.
The strategy urges social media platforms to specifically cover Islamophobia and to rig their algorithms “de-rank and stop recommending” content that Muslim groups consider hateful.
Beyond censorship, what does the Biden administration propose we do to fight ‘Islamophobia’?
The strategy calls on Congress to formally recognize the UN’s International Day to Combat Islamophobia. The Islamophobia resolution was introduced by former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. Khan had described Osama bin Laden, whom Pakistan had harbored, as a “martyr”, supported the Taliban and was later charged by his own country under its terrorism act.
Once again, Islamophobia turns out to be how Islamic terrorists silence criticism of their crimes.
The Biden administration’s National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia is an insult to American Jews and Christians. It uses lies and hoaxes to turn the Muslim terrorist supporters who have shut down Christmas tree lightings and attacked synagogues, and who rally for the murder of Americans and Jews as the victims, while portraying Christians and Jews as ‘Islamophobes’.
The Islamophobia strategy is the final insult of many from an administration that has stood with the Islamic terrorists and never with their Jewish and Christian victims.
Inversion principle again.
They can spin anything into the opposite. I learned that the hard way. But maybe that’s the only way to really learn it.
End the Anti Jewish Anti Christian Bigotry first Bean Brains then maybe we will smoke the Peace Hookah with you only none of that Poppies stuff and No Weed Either
“The Islamophobia strategy” …
Those who would be afraid of Islam would be sick… That’s what Islamophobia means… You have a psychological problem…
“Phobias, these irrational fears triggered by a harmless circumstance, are psychoanalytically defined by the displacement (projection), onto an object, a person or a situation in the outside world, of an anguishing figure from the psychic universe.”
Very good article by the way.
Best!
Exactly. There is no such thing as Islamophobia since it is not irrational to be afraid of someone who wants to kill you.
Tell me about it already I’m Jewish/Christian.
Those who disbelieve from among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures. (98:6)
Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe. (8:55)
Verse 7:176 compares unbelievers to “panting dogs” with regard to their idiocy and worthlessness.
Verse 7:179 says they are like “cattle” only worse.
Verse 9:28 says the unbelievers are unclean.
Verse 6:111 says they are ignorant.
Verse 4:76 says they are helpers of the devil.
Verse 5:60 even says that Allah transformed Jews of the past into apes and pigs. This is echoed by verses 7:166 and 2:65.
A hadith (Bukhari 54:524) says that Muhammad believed rats to be “mutated Jews” (also confirmed by Sahih Muslim 7135 and 7136).
Verses 46:29-35 even say that unbelieving men are worse than the demons who believe in Muhammad.
The difference between anti-Semitism and Islamophobia is that the former is a real word describing long observed actions and the latter is a word to conceal reality. Islamophobia is a term created not due to irrational fear of Islam, but due to logophobia.
“The Islamophobia strategy” … i reality is a Muslim Brotherhood Strategy for the ever increasing Islamification of the West.
Wild beasts in a cage……
This jihad PR will not end on January 20. The main office won’t be the White House for the next four years; but no jihadi is closing shop on this sinister operation. Will the new administration boldly declare that, like all things ‘Palestinian’, ‘Islamophobia’ is a
made-up, baseless term created by the jihadi PR department to destroy the US and Israel? It’s a term that fundamentally clashes with America’s founding principles. The idea of Islamophobia was calculated specifically to appeal to western thinking to counteract, neutralize, redefine and ultimately validate virulent Jew hatred, so that, the more palpable anti-Semitism there is, the more ‘Islamophobia’ will thrive.
Doesn’t look like pro-Islamophobia Democrats in Congress can be deprogrammed. But they can become irrelevant and disempowered if the new administration brings out the best in Americans, by Americans and for Americans.
What about JEWPHOBIA AND MAGAPHOBIA… they’re worse.
Try wearing a MAGA HAT on the street, in a business, restaurant, or on any college campus, and you’ll what really happens. A Muslim does the same…. NOTHING so what crooked stats are these groups putting out!
While observing a protest in support of GAZA, organized by The Party for Socialism and Liberation, I acted like I was a supporter. I know their language. I told them outright that I supported Hamas, and seven protesters said they do too but weren’t allowed to say it. Some signs had Intifada though. SURPRISINGLY, some of the large banners were AGAINST BIDEN. Before they were going to take over the main drag to march, I asked one of the organizers: “What if a Jew or a person with a MAGA hat walked through here?” “We wouldn’t recommend that.” This on the Free Speech Zone at UNM.
About EIGHT YEARS AGO, two female Muslim students went into the main library and they said a Male student from their Math class ripped off one of their scarves. There was an argument. In a quiet library, students looking at their cell phones every minute while doing homework, AND NOT ONE FILMED IT TO MAKE IT A VIRAL VIDEO. The girls then reported it to the DEI CZAR, Assata Zeria ($266,000 a year and four assistants/$80,000), and there were near riots, headline news. I CALLED FOR THE POLICE REPORT…. NONE FILED! Strange, no new follow up, the name of the student and penalty, hate crime, NADA. WHY NO REPORT… BECAUSE FILING A FALSE POLICE REPORT WOULD BE WORSE!
FOUR MUSLIMS KILLED IN ALBUQUERQUE… all the Democrats, and the President of the Islamic Center NM, who held a protest in support of Hamas about ten years ago, BLAMED ISLAMOPHOBIA. It made national news. Biden, Harris, all the MSM, Democracy Now, were in an uproar. The FBI got involved…. A WEEK LATER… THEY ARRESTED A MUSLIM, JUST GOT CONVICTED!!! The Rush to blame Islamophobia, no retractions, and you know they were hoping the murderer was White AND A MAGA! They were so sad that it wasn’t at their next news conference!
Islam will likely be the “religion” of the Anti-Christ. Everything Mohammad did in life is pretty much the polar opposite of Jesus. Both religions predict the return of Jesus and the 12th Iman in the end times. The 12th iman is described pretty much how the Bible describes the Anti-Christ.
Then- consider modern liberals/our ruling class despise the Christian faith, but seem to embrace Islam and it adds up to the Anti-Christ being welcomed with cheers by the Democrat party as well as the Islamic world.
Islamophobia is “a word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.” – Andrew Cummins
This so called strategy should be discarded as soon as Trump takes office
In his obvious dotage, Biden is easily handled and persuaded, in this case by Obama who has never really given up being President. A Russian plant and Muslim to boot, . hasten the return of Trump
as usual the west is way behind. the same empty ideas and hoaxes are used in the last 80 years. the simple observation that as koran instructs, a believer is born for a simple mission. to kill the unbelievers and to conquer the world. with weapons they were no able. they found the new weapons: demography, globalization including the broadcasting and terror of the people (and finding their slaves in academia, media.
I don’t SUFFER from islamophobia. I LOVE it!
I refer to it affectionally as “Islamoloathing”.
I consider myself islamoSAVVY
I don’t paint all Muslims with the same brush, but it must be stated that the main purveyors of anti-Semitism today worldwide are Muslims. It must also be stated that in almost every Muslim majority country, non-Muslims are persecuted.
A detail brush can paint a large picture.
I love the Muslim people but hate their moon God and Islam. Jk I don’t love Muslims either.
Jews of all ages and all nationalities (even if you haven’t been to Temple in 30 years) should sit down with each other and discuss what YOU will do if the Muslims and Democrats get their way. Their way will make the Holocaust look like a tea party. Wake Up, People!
Fornicate the muslims and the Communist White House.
What next? Reparations for the oppressed and abused muslims of America? There is no limit to the exploitations of white guilt. The object of “universal human rights” has morphed into a suppression of the majority to favor minorities. In this case, it’s the relative few muslims that have parked their asses in Western societies and then bitch about not having their view of world domination accepted with open arms. The idiot snowflakes, with Biden leading them, want us to believe all us white folk are bigots and haters for not wanting to turn over the store to these insurgents. England is three quarters of the way down the drain with the US right behind them. We can only hope the “two tiered” justice system being practiced in England will get the boot in the US after this coming January.
