Good news! If you’re thinking about taking a summer course at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, now you can dive into one about how, despite over 34,000 jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11 committed in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings, Muslims are actually victims of “Islamophobia” manufactured by a sinister “Islamophobia industry,” which prevents people nationwide from thinking that Islam is just great.
Here’s the course description:
Islam, Muslims & Islamophobia: A Catholic Response
Scott AlexanderStory continues below advertisementThis course will cover the epidemic of Islamophobia in contemporary U.S. American society. Its aim is: to assess the extent of the problem, including statistics regarding anti-Muslim hate crimes and an analysis of the so-called “Islamophobia industry”; to explore and deconstruct negative and harmful anti-Muslim stereotypes, particularly as key elements of dominant mainstream media, “alt-right” media, and social media narratives; and to articulate a ‘Catholic response’ based on Catholic social teaching, theology of interreligious dialogue, and the longstanding praxis of Catholic-Muslim dialogue in the U.S. in which Catholic Theological Union has played a significant role.
Scott Alexander is certainly qualified to teach a course of this kind. According to the CTU website, “Scott has been studying, teaching, and writing about Islam and Muslim-Christian relations for over 35 years. The focus of his life’s ministry is building bridges of reconciliation, mutual understanding, and solidarity for justice between Muslims and Christians in the U.S. and abroad. As a self-described ‘scholar-activist,’ Scott devotes considerable energy to challenging structures of Islamophobia and other forms of systemic bigotry and marginalization. His most recent scholarly research focuses on the role of triumphalism in Christian-Muslim relations and deals with the inherent contradiction between religious claims to universal truth and the religiously motivated desire to impose this truth on others as a means of political and cultural domination.”
It is no surprise that with all his talk about triumphalism, systematic bigotry, marginalization, and political and cultural domination, Professor Alexander demonstrates no awareness of the fact that devout Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” have committed numerous acts of violence against non-Muslims in Europe and North America over the last few years. Nor does he seem to be aware that the Islamic State, an international jihad terror group, has called for such attacks in Europe and North America as part of a large attempt to weaken existing governmental systems and hasten their collapse, so that Sharia entities can be established in their place. That’s a kind of systematic bigotry and marginalization, in service of political and cultural domination, that doesn’t seem to register on his radar screen.
Will this course discuss how the term “Islamophobia” was chosen by Muslim Brotherhood organizations as a weapon to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women and others? Will it explore the 1,400-year history of jihad warfare against Christians, and investigate the role of Islamic texts and teachings in inciting that warfare? Will it discuss the status of the subjugated dhimmis under Islamic law? Will it explore the industry of faked anti-Muslim hate crimes? Will it show how those who are accused of being part of the fictional “Islamophobia industry” are vilified with ad hominem attacks, but never actually shown to be making false statements?
The answer is obvious, of course. No to all questions.
Will there be a course at any Islamic theological school, teaching about Muslim hatred of Christians, “the most vile of created beings” according to Qur’an 98:6?
No again.
Scott Alexander will likely never tell you this, but I will: the real originators of “Islamophobia” in the U.S. are not the supposed exponents of the “Islamophobia industry,” but Nidal Malik Hasan, Mohamed Atta, Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Mohammed Abdulazeez, Syed Rizwan Farook, Tashfeen Malik, Omar Mateen, and all the other Muslims who have plotted and/or carried out jihad massacres on American soil. In fact, the whole “Islamophobia” hysteria is a cynical and disingenuous attempt to divert attention away from the reality of jihad terror.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

These mendacious so-called “Christians” offer their own sheeps worldwide to
their mortal enemies for food, and pathologize and criminalize all who expose
this pathologic criminality. Didn’t Jesus say, “The most evil are the hypocrites”?

Just imagine the reverse case: all Muslims who hate Chris-

They are the gravediggers not only of their rotten, degenerate, perverted
weak religion or the pitiful remnant that is left of it, but also of Western civi-
lization as a whole. They will even hammer the last nails into the coffin lids.

I am an admitted Islamophobic, and I am proud to admit that. I do not consider my Islamophobia to be irrational, rather I sincerely believe that the existing facts, many of which are outlined in this Spencer article, prove my rational basis for my legitimate concern. Like the Nazi’s before them, the Islamic belief system is founded on absolute domination, and they reject all others who are non-Islamic. Their writings promote and preach that dominating conduct, and their mores are so un-American, that to be non-Islamic and not recognize the poison spouted by these believers is to be “dumb and blind.” I understand that they are the fastest growing belief system in this country now, and that factor should mortify all of us. They come from a world where Islam has created societies that reject all other belief systems, require absolute domination and subjugation to their beliefs as an only alternative, lead all other nations in human trafficking, drug trafficking and mistreatment of women, deny due process and equal protection to all, and we non-Islamic’s should not be concerned. Nonsense. The fact that these Catholics do not see the obvious should also be disconcerting, for if we do not ‘fight” this infestation of Islam, we will see our country eaten away as has been the case in many other nations that have been overwhelmed by Islamic immigrants. They come from a very different world and they simply cannot assimilate into our free societies.

This straight-up muslum theocrat has been president or prime minister of Turkey for nearly TWENTY years. Funny how all the “good”, “moderate”, “honorable”, “decent” muslums haven’t been able to marshal any resistance to him for two decades.

Neither will they discuss Roman Catholicism’s fundamental departure from Orthodox, biblical Christianity (which is their real problem) and the barbaric history of Islam, the Koran and Mohammed.
Having been deceived (since their origins) Catholics are being preconditioned and brainwashed to accept the eventual coming of the Antichrist and his New World Order rule over humanity (in which they are doomed to participate) which includes a one-world religion, one-world government and a one-world economy.
This present Pope proves my point every time he opens his mouth.

Of course they are, the Catholic Church is NOT Christian, the Vatican created pisslam to take over Jerusalem for them by using a woman to convince moohamdead that he was a prophet and the possession by devils was not the cause of his seizures.

The first line of your comment – bang on. It has been sold to the public for years that the RCC represents Christianity, and nothing could be further from the truth. The Vatican actively pursued and murdered scripture believing Christians for centuries, and brutally killed upwards of a million of them.
As for the second part of your comment, I have just started researching this claim and so far I am persuaded that there may be merit to the assertions. That a “Godly” entity would kill true Christians while claiming to be Christian, in itself strongly suggests a deception has been hoisted to cover for a more sinister identity. Put that together with the satanic oath that Jesuit priests take/took to protect and progress the church and Pope, and this is not a representation of our God in heaven. If Lucifer was your god, then it would match perfectly.
It would seem that the reverence for Mary is a shared thing between Catholicism and Islam, and will likely be the ground exploited by Francis to bring the two religions in line.
The “woman” in your comment was a wealthy, devout Catholic, and was Muhammad’s first wife. Her equally devout cousin accompanied her and mentored him. They knew he came from a respected family and saw in him the potential for greatness among his people, the descendants of Ishmael. They were unhappy that true Christianity had spread throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean and needed a means of eradicating it and securing the “Holy City”. Money was provided, a deal was struck (including a hands off of shrines), but the Arab generals became convinced of their own worthiness and refused to turn Jerusalem over. When they pushed for European lands, they crossed the line and the Vatican endorsed Crusades pushed them back.

For balance and perspective, the course description should include the Holocaust and anti-semitism, subjects about which the muslimes are well-versed.
To paraphrase Mark Twain’s observation on politicians, there is only one way to look at a raghead and that is down.

In the past the Catholics weren’t always panty waists. It was Catholics who fought and died to throw the muslum vermin out of Europe — incl. Spain. It was Catholics who fought the muslum vermin at the gates of Vienna. It was Catholics who took back Yerushalem from the muslums yet didn’t insult the Jewish people by building a cathedral or church on the Temple Mount.

If the Catholics hadn’t fought and died to throw the muslums out of Europe there would have been no Enlightenment and no Renaissance, period.

Unlike the dying atheist West of today at least the Catholics DID fight. More Jews CHOSE to live in Catholic Europe than the islamic world according to Robert Spencer.
An atheist pointing the finger of accusation at the Catholics for genocide is risible considering the Communist atheists slaughtered more people in the 20th century than anyone else.

Fair enough but you have to recognize the fact at least some Catholics had testicular fortitude in the past and fought the f’ing muslum vermin.

Perhaps, it should be further disclosed that both the professor and his school are recipients of large donations from Saudi and Qatari funds to “promote understanding” between Christians and Muslims. The Saudis have lavished tens of millions on universities such as the Jesuit owned Georgetown University as well as Notre Dame to fund similar activities. This is nothing but slimy Muslim propaganda packaged as education. I suppose that if one enrolled in this class and disputed the groundless, deceitful, warped conclusions of the professor one would be awarded with an “F.” or banned from the classroom and school.

The islamic cult theology is based on conquest; so according to Catholic theology that preaches “islamophobia” it is evil to fear conquest? But when Christians hand out peaceful pamphlets at the Vatican they get arrested by the Vatican Police, so the Vatican still has the right to fear conquest? We should play pranks with the Vatican by dressing up as muslims and handing out peaceful islamic pamphlets and when the Vatican Police show up we accuse them of “islamophobia” and offer them free Catholic approved “islamophobia” courses?

ISLAM IS ISLAM AND IT ISN’T A PHOBIA TO FEAR A GROUP THAT BELIEVES THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENSLAVE, FORCEFULLY CONVERT AND KILL YOU, IT IS SOCIAL SELF-DEFENSE AND SELF-PRESERVATION! If Roman Catholics were sincere, they would go join the Eastern Orthodox Churches that aren’t under the modern, Turkish dominated Seat of Constantinople!
I believe that the Seat of Peter is today episcopally vacant in Rome and the Holy Spirit is getting ready to leave Constantinople aka Istanbul pretty soon whose Patriarch is like the spiritual version of the Emperor with no clothes who goes around and steals from the Slavic Patriarch of Moscow churches and territories like in Ukraine that the Russians protected from the Turkish domination that enslaved the original territories of the Greeks that Constantinople once ruled over! I predict it won’t be long before Constantinople will be singing the ecumenism with Muslims song too!
