The True Victims of “Islamophobia”

35

It’s time to begin to keep track of the victims of “Islamophobia.” Not the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes that all too often turn out to have been faked by Muslims themselves, but the real victims of “Islamophobia.”

Every year during the Muslim month of Ramadan, the invaluable TheReligionofPeace.com site keeps a running tally of the number of jihad attacks and the number of casualties of those attacks, along with a tally of the attacks by people acting in the name of any other religion, and attacks by “Islamophobes.” Year after year, invariably, as the jihad death toll mounts into the hundreds and thousands, the other numbers all remain at zero (although this year there was one arguable “Islamophobic” attack and one casualty, outside the notorious Finsbury Park Mosque in London, although that one appears to have been motivated more by mental illness – as is so often falsely claimed of jihadis – than by “Islamophobia”).

But there are other victims of “Islamophobia” that neither TheReligionofPeace.com nor anyone else is tracking. The latest is Justine Ruszczyk Damond, the unarmed Australian woman in Minneapolis who called the police to report what she suspected was a rape and ended up being shot to death by a Muslim police officer, Mohamed Noor. Justine Damond would be alive today were it not for the Minneapolis Police Department’s determination to court the local Somali Muslim community and recruit police officers from it – police officers who are more important as symbols of city and police “diversity” than they are as protectors of the people.

Mohamed Noor was a symbol of everything that Minneapolis officials valued most. They could point to him and say: See? We are not “Islamophobic.” We celebrate diversity. We love our Somali Muslim community, and when they see how they are loved, they will end all jihad activity, because violent jihad is just a reaction to injustices that Infidels perpetrate.

And so it was very important to the Minneapolis Police Department, and to city officials, that Mohamed Noor succeed. And even if he didn’t, nothing would be done. The Minneapolis Police Department kept Mohamed Noor on the force not because he was a competent police officer. He obviously wasn’t. There were three complaints against him in two years. A neighbor reported that Noor was “nervous” and “jumpy” and had “little respect for women,” but Noor could have marched into Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges’ office and announced that she would henceforth be his infidel sex slave, and he would have remained on the force. To have removed him would have been “Islamophobic.”

Justine Damond is a casualty of that fear of “Islamophobia.” And she was not the first. On November 4, 2009, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army psychiatrist, murdered thirteen people at Fort Hood while screaming “Allahu akbar.” Before that, he had alarmed his colleagues with his talk of jihad, and had even been in contact with the jihad mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki. But nothing was done; to have moved against him would have been “Islamophobic.” And so at Fort Hood there were thirteen more casualties of “Islamophobia.”

There was more. The Russian government informed the FBI that a man named Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a resident of the United States, was meeting with jihad groups in the Caucasus. Around that time, the Obama administration was scrubbing counterterror training materials of all mention of Islam and jihad, in accord with the prevailing politically correct fiction that jihad is primarily a spiritual struggle, and the jihad terror groups are twisting and hijacking the true message of the Religion of Peace. To have tracked someone who was frequenting jihad groups would have been a tacit acknowledgement that at least sometimes, jihad has to do with violence.

And so once again nothing was done. To have investigated Tsarnaev would have been “Islamophobic.” Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his brother Dzhokhar were free to set off two bombs in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings at the Boston Marathon. There were three more casualties of “Islamophobia”; 16 others were maimed for life and hundreds were wounded.

How many more victims of “Islamophobia” must there be, before the concept itself is repudiated, and police officers are hired and kept on the force solely on the basis of their competence or lack thereof, and jihad terror threats are investigated as such no matter which pressure groups are offended?

No doubt many, many more.

Muslims are merely the latest group of people that Westerners have assigned child status to. Children, you see, aren’t responsible for their own actions. They must be protected from insult and given special care and privileges. Of course, Muslims gladly play this role for all they can get.

I disagree with the “Western” label. It’s liberal leaders in the west have assigned child status to Muslims. The rest of us have our eyes wide open and understand what’s going on.

Latest rumor gong around is the two officers, both new on the force, were gay and having sex in the squad car. That is what the woman heard and that is why the cameras were off and she ran up on the having sex.

Agree with Robert Spencer. The crooked jihadi cop was not tested if he was on drugs nor arrested and interviewed and the dead woman needs to be tested for drugs ?

Its this kind of Left/Liberal pro-jihadi smearing that goes on in Germany and rest of Europe http://bit.ly/2tTQW4b

Curious, if a pilot/driver of any kind of public transport is involved in an accident, they’re automatically drug tested. Surely standard operating procedure would be the case here, with a policeman involved in a fatal shooting. Either they mayor’s not releasing that info or Noor wasn’t on anything to cause the mayhem he did.

Great idea: how about calling for what’s needed: Islamologic, or at least defining Islam’s influence in our communities correctly, such as Islamomayhem, Islamodeception, or Islamodoom?

Good one Carowal, best response post EVER! should be spread far and wide and repeatedly well put! It can be put into an equation Islamologic = Islamomayhem, Islamodeception, Islamodoom!

What exactly is “Islamophobia“? The Fear of Islam

Of all the so-called ‘major religions in the world’, why is it that “Islamophobia” so well known?

Is the fear of Islam irrational?

Apparently the Liberals of Minneapolis do not think Islam should be feared

They think Islam is so peaceful that they specially chosen men from that “Religion of Peace” to carry firearm, and on top of that, the Minneapolis Liberals gave the “Men of Peace” official badges to become their cops

For a whole freaking year, one of those ‘men of peace’ managed to ‘earn’ 3 complains, and still, the Minneapolis Liberals gave a thumbs-up-approval rating

… until that fateful night when a White woman, totally unarmed, was shot, in cold blood

Is “Islamophobia” really that irrational?

How many more must die?

Alas, I fear not, at least they will not speak out publicly. For that’s what is happening in Sweden, where women are being assaulted/raped at record numbers by unvetted Middle Eastern migrants and still, when interviewed, they tow the multicultural party line. Otherwise, they will be socially ostracized by the people that matter most to them: the nut-case Left.

See http://crg.berkeley.edu/content/islamophobia/defining-islamophobia.

The term “Islamophobia” was first introduced as a concept in a 1991 Runnymede Trust Report and defined as “unfounded hostility towards Muslims, and therefore fear or dislike of all or most Muslims.” The term was coined in the context of Muslims in the UK in particular and Europe in general, and formulated based on the more common “xenophobia” framework.

The report pointed to prevailing attitudes that incorporate the following beliefs:

Islam is monolithic and cannot adapt to new realities
Islam does not share common values with other major faiths
Islam as a religion is inferior to the West.
It is archaic, barbaric, and irrational.
Islam is a religion of violence and supports terrorism.
Islam is a violent political ideology.

Islamophobia is a made up term by liberal and Muslim apologists for stopping free speech and discussion on faults with Islam. Islam is a totalitarian style government top down that incorporates Sharia law as its guide.

The prevailing attitudes and beliefs about Muslims outlined by the 1991 Runnymede Trust Report have all come true. In retrospect, however, it is unfortunate that the European prognosticators who contributed to the report were too thick to understand that their “‘xenophobia’ framework” was dead on; ironically, however, in the opposite context as to how the report was intended to be understood. Bad news Runnymede authors: History has proved that “Islam is a violent political ideology,” and a “religion of violence” and so forth. .

The real victims are future muslims, the hate that they are creating through their valances and ignorance will return to them. The pendulum swings both ways, when it goes against islam, is a matter of time.

Not necessarily, muslims will eventually want to feast of the carrion they have killed, there will be problems with those who finally realize what islam is all about and that they do not want to be muslim food.

A Somali police officer wasn’t hired because they are seeking racial harmony, although that would be good.
They want the Muslim vote and that’s all there is to it.

If one expresses fear of Islam, one can lose one’s job. Also, if one gives context from respected Islamic commentator, Ibn Kathir, one can be accused of racism. I’m not so sure that I blame those people for not reporting what existentially needed to be reported.

To recruit and arm muzzies as police officers in an effort to keep the peace is like trying to douse a fire by throwing gasoline on it. Five will get you ten that Noor carved a notch in the handle of his service weapon as quickly as Justine’s death was announced.

I’d like to know why this Muslim cop wasn’t touched at all for killing an innocent white woman who at the time was calling to report a crime, instead the police chief had to step down? Mayor Hodges is a disgrace to not only her city or state, but to the entire nation! What the hell is going on in this country??? Under my watch, this would have been addressed and dealt with properly regardless what race is involved!

Vigilantes need to apply true justice that our justice system refuses to administer.
This murderous, muslim cop needs swift, true justice.
This anti-America, treasonous Betsy Hodges needs swift, true justice.
I think it’s time liberty- loving, justice-defending American Patriots get on the march…get on the move.
We know what needs to be done.

The true definition of “Islamophobia”, is when a non-Muslim learns the truth about Islam, and start to tell others.
