More misplaced alarm about "Islamophobia" in Europe, while the jihadists plot, and legal coercion and demographic conquest proceed. Again, the label "right wing" is the kiss of death, inviting the wholesale dismissal of any issue being addressed.
"Islamaphobia on rise, especially in Europe," from Reuters:
GENEVA - The United Nations investigator on racism on Friday condemned a rising trend of Islamaphobia, especially in Europe, where he said it was being exploited by some right-wing political parties.
Doudou Diene, UN special rapporteur on racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance, also accused Switzerland’s most popular party, the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP/UDC), of inciting hatred.
He urged the withdrawal of the party’s controversial campaign poster calling for expulsion of foreigners who commit serous crimes, depicting three white sheep booting out a black sheep under the headline “For the Security of All”.
“In the current context, Islamaphobia constitutes the most serious form of religious defamation,” Diene said in a speech and report to the UN Human Rights Council, whose 47 member states were holding a debate on religious defamation.
More and more political leaders and influential media and intellectuals were “equating Islam with violence and terrorism,” and some were seeking to “silence religious practices by banning the construction of mosques”, Diene said.
Pakistan, speaking for the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), called the rise of Islamaphobia “alarming”.
Of course, Cartoon Rage makes an appearance:
“Recent acts of defamation in the shape of blasphemous sketches in Sweden and posters in Switzerland reinforce this conclusion. Such blasphemy should not be encouraged in the name of freedom of expression,” Pakistan’s envoy Masood Khan said.
He said the 57-nation OIC, which represents 1.3 billion Muslims, condemned terrorism in all its forms.
That's nice. What about jihad? Wait, sorry, we're supposed to "de-link" Islam and violence in our minds, according to the OIC.
“The international media continues to use the misguided actions of a small extremist minority as an excuse to malign the entire Muslim world, as well as the religion of Islam,” he said.
“Scapegoating”
Diene, a Senegalese lawyer, said in his 21-page report to the Council that Islamaphobia had grown since the Sept 11 2001 attacks on the United States.
Worldwide, an increasing number of traditional democratic parties were “resorting to the language of fear and exclusion, scapegoating and targeting ethnic or religious minorities in general, and immigrants and refugees in particular”, he said.
In Europe, Muslims faced growing difficulties to establish places of worship and carry out their religious practices such as dietary regimens and burials, according to the UN envoy.
“Political parties with open anti-Islamic platforms have joined governmental coalitions in several countries and started to put in place their political agendas. In sum, Islamophobia is in the process of permeating all facets of social life.”
As we have said here before, the surefire way to end Islamophobia would be to end violent attacks committed by Muslims in the name of Islam.
The Swiss SVP/UDC has launched a referendum to ban construction of minarets in the Alpine country, home to 350,000 Muslims. A similar move is underway in Cologne, Germany.
Switzerland’s delegation defended its system of direct democracy, where multiple issues are put to referendum each year, saying it showed great political transparency although ”sometimes with exaggerated, regrettable views being expressed”.
“The Swiss government has repeatedly stated its commitment to fight racism and the Swiss government will continue to take a clear stance against all forms of discrimination and xenophobia,” Swiss ambassador Blaise Godet said.
The Ishmaelists are everywhere, in our media, our governments, academe, but don't be paranoid about it. They're 'spiritual' and not of this world.

In fact, Islam as descendent of Ishmael is all wrong. Don't you know it? Nothing to do with Abrahamic faith.

I'll have another glass of wine. They're all bloody insane.
Okay, I'm an "Ishmaelophobe"... There, I said it. I'm out of the closet. :)
Damned Ishmaelites, wish they'd stop attacking our sanity with their idiot jihad, and all that crap about infidels, women 1/2 men, head slicing, slicing hands like salami, you know, the death worship cult. God it feels good to be out of that closet.
Don't need some Senegalese LAWYER-PROFESSIONAL UNITED NATIONS BUREACRATIC HACK- WORTHLESS PIECE OF DOO-DOO Coming to Europe and tut-tuting at the 'sins of the West'. Read Doo-Doo's resume -the guy who invented the chip clip has done more for humanity than this master of the chattering classes and so called 'racism expert'.
GENEVA - The United Nations investigator on racism on Friday condemned a rising trend of Islamaphobia, especially in Europe...
When did Islam become a race? It's impossible for it to be racism if all four races of the planet are represented in Islam. What a bunch of doo-doo. It's from UN Doudou, of course. Imbecile.
Finally, some good news from the Urine Nations. If they complain about something then you know it has to be good news.
But on the other hand, the UN makes its usual pro-Islamania view known (again) by whining about Islamophobia being the worst form of religious defamation. I guess when a certain group keeps on calling Christians and Jews apes and pigs they're merely complimenting them.
considering that the UN's human rights Council has been hijacked by the Muslim nations of the world with some of the worst records of human rights violations is not surprising to see a UN investigator claiming that its islaophobia its not surprising that its investigator claims this because it appears that OIC considers any complaints about the actions of Muslims islaophobia even when Muslims riot rape loot and destroy property non-Muslim but then Muslims claim they would never hurt a innocent person and they make this claim are loudly and often they can but they then neglect to add that the Muslims are the only ones they considered innocent because they have accepted Mohammed and his moon god anyone else who is not a Muslim and not accepted Mohammed and his moon god are not innocent in Muslim eyes and they are very good at playing the victim and now the UN human rights Council is under radical Islamists feet is going to get worse with the slightest action by non-Muslims in the defense of themselves and the truth about the actions of Muslims now being labeled islaophobia and any actions by the State of Israel in defending itself from Muslim aggression being condemned by the human rights council as aggression even though the aggressors are in fact Muslim nations that this cannot stand having a formerly subject people stand up and tell them no more
Does this mean westerners are getting smarter? I hope so!!
Move the 'civilization-phobic' UN to Zimbbwe, or Somalia. It's an embarrassment to have it in New York, in the United States of America. Freedom reigns here, not some uncultured primitive 7th century Muhammudan phobia of intelligence and reason. The sharia loving UN is embarrassing to our land of Freedom. Throw it out, and good riddance. Useless bunch.
Doudou Diene, the usual suspect::
When the African-Muhammedan proletariat marches onto the European gravy-train its all good, remaining Europeans/Westerners in Africa are 'colonialists' and Mugabe is Doudou's best friend.
Got it.

What is wrong with disliking the false religion of ISLAM? I have seen what it can do, trap those who are caught up in its deadly web.
Good of the Swiss to set the agenda. It is unfortunate, that we in the rest of the Western world, do not have the same kind of direct democracy that can say boo to the socialist/lib sharia friendly appeasing politicians that we have, and then set the law of the land.
Moslem immigration has to be severely curtailed as a first step, and then Moslems have to go back to lands where their culture of Jew-Christian-Hindu-Buddhist-athiest-gay hating culture is accepted as the norm. It is good for all people, Moslems in particular, and the most humane option available, or else a civil war will erupt that will make WWII look benign by comparison. Heaven help us then.

Hugh Fitzgerald on "Islamophobia" at the UN
“When the world is compelled to coin a new term to take account of increasingly widespread bigotry -- that is a sad and troubling development,” Annan said. “Such is the case with ‘Islamophobia.’ The word seems to have emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Today, the weight of history and the fallout of recent developments have left many Muslims around the world feeling aggravated and misunderstood, concerned about the erosion of their rights and even fearing for their physical safety.”
--- from a news item, quoting then Secretary-General of the U.N. Kofi Annan
The “world” was not “compelled to coin a new term” -- it was Muslims who coined the word, and they did so deliberately. For that word so deliberately kept undefined is merely a weapon employed to deflect criticism, to label all those who may offer criticism of Islam and of its adherents, basing their criticism not on some blind prejudice, but on their own observations and study. Indeed, the entire Western world -- its political leaders, its media, its university departments of Middle Eastern studies -- have all been engaged in a massive effort to deflect criticism or disarm it. It is despite all that that Infidels everywhere are coming to some conclusions about Islam, and the more they study, and the more they observe, and the more “Interfaith” gatherings and little Muslim Outreach evenings they attend, all of which end up being dismal exercises in Taqiyya and Tu-Quoque argumentation, the more wary, and critical, and indignant, and sometimes more, they become. The game is up. From a Beslan school full of children to a Bali nightclub full of revellers, from Madrid subways to Moscow theatres, from New York skyscrapers to Najaf mosques (where Sadr’s bezonians tortured, killed, and stacked the bodies of Iraqis who had opposed their reign of terror), from Istanbul to India, the evidence just keeps piling up. And the evidence, too, of what is actually in the Qur’an and hadith and sira -- and how many Infidels, a few years ago, even had heard of the “hadith” and the “sira,” or had any idea what was really in the Qur’an, or had ever heard of the Treaty of al-Hudaibiyya -- is now online, and it can easily be read. And all the excuses, all the nonsense, can no longer be offered up -- for we Infidels, fortunately, have the guidance of defectors from Islam, ex-Muslims such as Ibn Warraq (whose own three-part guide, posted at Jihad Watch, to debating Muslims, and how not to be intimidated or snookered, will for many prove invaluable).
Kofi Annan, as Oriana Fallaci notes in her Fallaci Intervista Fallaci, looks, on the surface, to be far more presentable, and far more decent, and far more intelligent -- grey hair, gravelly voice, grave mien -- than in fact he is. The words quoted above are the words of a simpleton. Perhaps Edward Mortimer, that early admirer of Khomeini and Nazi-Zionist conspiracy theorist, who feels a special responsibility to protect Islam, is the main puppet-master here, or perhaps it is Ms. Rishmawi (the “Palestinian” behind-the-scenes operative who was so influential with Mary Robinson, she of the antisemitic lynch-mob meeting in Durban in September 2001). Or perhaps it is Annan -- the man who is responsible for more black African deaths than anyone since Leopold III of Belgium, who really thinks that the word “Islamophobia” came into use because it actually described a real, and deplorable condition -- that is, unfair, unjust, prejudiced and irrational (i.e. without foundation, against reason and logic) phobia, or hatred, of Islam. What is unreasonable or irrational would be the opposite -- that is, the continued inability of many Infidels to regard Islam as just another “religion” worthy of respect, perhaps at the edges a bit rough, but hijacked by a few extremists, or even many extremists, but having a decency at its core, a real religion of “peace” and “tolerance” as a number of Western leaders have insisted.
If, upon reading and studying Qur’an and hadith and sira, and if, after looking around the world over the past few years, and if, after having studied the history of Jihad-conquest and Muslim behavior toward dhimmis -- Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists -- you do not feel a deep hostility toward the belief-system of Islam and toward its adherents (for the category of “moderate” is nearly meaningless, given the dangerous use to which “moderates” can be put in continuing to mislead the unwary Infidels), then it is you who are irrational, and need to have your head examined.
Kofi Annan is not the worst secretary-general of the U.N. That prize, so far, goes to Nazi war criminal Kurt Waldheim. But Annan still has some months, or even years, to go. It may soon be neck-and-neck. It may be a photo finish. And that’s not all that will be finished.
The word “Islamophobia” must be held up for inspection, its users constantly asked precisely how they would define that word, and they should be put on the defensive for waving about what is clearly meant to be a scare-word that will silence criticism.
So let us ask them which of the following criticisms of Islam is to be considered “Islamophobia”:
1) Muhammad is a role-model for all time. Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6 and had sexual intercourse with her when she was 9. I find appalling that Muslims consider this act of Muhammad to be that of the man who is in every way a role model, and hence to be emulated. In particular, I am appalled that virtually the first act of the Ayatollah Khomeini, a very orthodox and learned Shi’a theologian, was to lower the marriageable age of girls in Iran to 9 -- because, of course, it was Aisha’s age when Muhammad had sexual relations with her.
2) I find appalling that Islam provides a kind of Total Regulation of the Universe, so that its adherents are constantly asking for advise as to whether or not, for example, they can have wear their hair in a certain way, grow their beards in a certain way, wish an Infidel a Merry Christmas (absolutely not!).
3) I find appalling the religiously-sanctioned doctrine of taqiyya -- would you like some quotes, sir, about what it is, or would you like to google “taqiyya” and find its sources in the Qur’an?
4) I find appalling many of the acts which Muhammad committed, including his massacre of the Banu Qurayza, his ordering the assassination of many of those he deemed his opponents, even an old man, a woman, or anyone whom, he thought, merely mocked him.
5) I find appalling the hatred expressed throughout the Qur’an, the hadith, and the sira for Infidels -- all Infidels.
6) I find nauseating the imposition of the jizya on Infidels, the requirement that they wear identifying garb on their clothes and dwellings, that they not be able to build or repair houses of worship without the permission of Muslim authorities, that they must ride donkeys sidesaddle and dismount in the presence of Muslims, that they have no legal recourse against Muslims for they are not equal at law -- and a hundred other things, designed to insure their permanent, as the canonical texts say, “humiliation.”
7) I find the mass murder of 60-70 million Hindus, over 250 years of Mughal rule, and the destruction of tens of thousands of artifacts and Hindu (and Buddhist) temples, some of the Hindu ones listed in works by Sita Ram Goel, appalling.
8) I find the 1300-year history of the persecution of the Zoroastrians, some of it continuing to this day, according the great scholar of Zoroastrianism, Mary Boyce, which has led to their reduction to a mere 150,000, something to deplore. There are piquant details in her works, including the deliberate torture and killing of the dogs (which are revered by Zoroastrians), even by small Muslim children who are taught to so behave.
9) I find the record of Muslim intellectual achievement lacking, and I attribute this lack to the failure to encourage free and skeptical inquiry, which is necessary for, among other things, the development of modern science.
10) I deplore the prohibition on sculpture or on paintings of living things. I deplore the horrific vandalism and destruction of Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Hindu, and Buddhist sites.
11) I deplore the Muslim jurisprudence which renders all treaties between Infidels and Muslims worthless from the viewpoint of the Infidels, though worth a great deal from the viewpoint of the Muslims, for they are only signing a “hudna,” a truce-treaty rather than a true peace-treaty -- and because they must go to war against the Infidel, or press their Jihad against the Infidel in other ways, on the model of the Treaty of al-Hudaibiyya, no Infidel state or people can ever trust a treaty with Muslims.
12) I deplore the speech of Mahathir Mohammad, so roundly applauded last year, in which he called for the “development” not of human potential, not of art and science, but essentially of weapons technology and the use of harnessing and encouraging Muslim “brain power” for the sole purpose of defeating the Infidels, as a reading of that entire speech makes absolutely clear. Here -- would you like me to read it now for the audience?
13) I deplore the fact that Muslims are taught, and they seem to have taken those teachings to heart, to offer their loyalty only to fellow Muslims, the umma al-islamiyya, and never to Infidels, or to the Infidel nation-state to which they have uttered an oath of allegiance but apparently such an oath must be an act of perjury, because such loyalty is impossible. Am I wrong? Show me exactly what I have misunderstood about Islam.
14) I deplore the ululations of pleasure over acts of terrorism, the delight shown by delighted and celebrating crowds in Cairo, Ramallah, Khartoum, Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad, and of course all over Saudi Arabia, when news of the World Trade Center attacks was known -- and I can, if you wish, supply the reports from those capitals which show this to have taken place. I attribute statements of exultation about the “Infidels” deserving it to the fact that Islamic tenets view the world as a war between the Believers and the Infidels.
15) On that score, I deplore that mad division of the world between Dar al-Islam and dar al-Harb, and the requirement that there be uncompromising hostility between the two, until the final triumph of the former, and the permanent subjugation, and incorporation into it, of the latter.
16) I deplore the sexual inequality and mistreatment of women which I believe I can show has a clear basis in the canonical Islamic texts, and is not simply, pace Ebadi and other quasi-”reformers,” a “cultural” matter.
17) I deplore the fact that Infidels feel, with justice, unsafe in almost every Muslim country, but that Muslims treat the Infidel countries, and their inhabitants, with disdain, arrogance, and endless demands for them to bend, to change, to what Muslims want -- whether it be to remove crucifixes, or change the laws of laicity in France, or to demand that “hate speech” laws be extended in England so as to prevent any serious and sober criticism of Islam.
18) I deplore the emphasis on the collective, and the hatred for the autonomy of the individual. In particular, I believe that someone born into Islam has a perfect right to leave Islam if he or she chooses -- and that there should be no punishment, much less the murderous punishment so often inflicted.
19) I find the record of Muslim political despotism to be almost complete -- with the exception of those Muslim countries and regimes that have, as Ataturk did, carried out a series of measures to limit and constrain Islam.
20) I deplore the fact that while Muslims claim it is a “universalist” religion, it has been a vehicle for Arab imperialism, causing those conquered and Islamized in some cases to forget, or become indifferent or even hostile to, their own pre-Islamic histories. The requirement that the Qur’an be read in Arabic (one of the first things Ataturk did was commission a Turkish Qur’an and tafsir, or commentary), and the belief by many Muslims that the ideal form of society can be derived from the Sunna of 7th century Arabia, and that their own societies are worth little, is an imperialism that goes to culture and to history, and is the worst and most complete kind.
21) I deplore the attacks on ex-Muslims who often must live in fear. I deplore the attacks on Theo van Gogh and others, and the absence of serious debate about the nature of Islam and of its reform -- except as a means to further beguile and distract Infidels who are becoming more wary.
22) I deplore the emptiness of the “Tu Quoque” arguments directed at Christians and Jews, based on a disingenuous quotation of passages -- for example, from Leviticus -- that are completely ignored and have not been invoked for two thousand years, and I deplore the rewriting of history so that a Muslim professor can tell an American university audience that “the Ku Klux Klan used to crucify (!) African-Americans, everyone standing around during the crucifixion singing Christian hymns (!).”
23) I deplore the phony appeals of the “we all share one Abrahamic faith” and “we are the three monotheisms” when, to my mind, a Christian or a Jew has far less to fear from, and in the end far more in common with, any practicing polytheistic Hindu.
24) I do not think Islam, which is based on the idea of world-conquest, not of accommodation, and whose adherents do not believe in Western pluralism except insofar as this can be used as an instrument, temporarily most useful, to protect the position of Islam until its adherents have firmly established themselves.
25) I deplore the view, in Islam, that it is not a saving of an individual soul that is involved when one conducts Da’wa or the Call to Islam, but rather, something that appears to be much more like signing someone up for the Army of Islam. He need not have read all the fine print; he need not know Islamic tenets; he need not even have read or know what is in sira and hadith or much of the Qur’an; he need only recite a single sentence. That does not show a deep concern for the nature of the conversion (sorry, “reversion”).
26) I deplore the sentiment that “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated. “ I deplore the sentiment “War is deception” as uttered by Muhammad. I deplore what has happened over 1350 years, in vast swaths of territory, formerly filled with Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists, much of which is now today almost monotonously Islamic. I do not think Islam welcomes any diversity if it means the possibility of full equality for non-Muslims.
27) I deplore the fact that slavery is permitted in Islam, that it is discussed in the Qur’an, that it was suppressed in 19th century Arabia only through the influence of British naval power in the Gulf; that it was formally done away with in Saudi Arabia only in 1962; that it still exists in Mali, and the Sudan, and even Mauritania; that it may exist in the Arabian interior, but certainly the treatment of the Thai, Filipino, Indian and other female house workers in Arab households amounts to slavery, and it is no accident that there has never been a Muslim William Wilberforce.
I could go on, and am prepared to adduce history, and quotations from the canonical texts. And so are hundreds of thousands of Infidels who have looked into Islam, or in their own countries, had a close look at the Muslim populations which have made their own Infidel existences far more unpleasant, expensive, and dangerous than they would otherwise be.
If this is “Islamophobia” -- show me exactly why it is irrational (i.e. not based on facts or observable behavior, or a study of history), an “irrational” dislike or even hatred of Islam. If you cannot show that, then perhaps the word should not be invoked. But if you do invoke it, be prepared to have copious quotations from Qur’an and hadith and sira constantly presented to audiences so that they may judge for themselves, without the “guidance” of apologists for Islam, both Muslim and non-Muslim.

Fitzgerald: Islamophobia? Not so fast
"Analysts both in the Muslim and the Western world by and large agree that “fear” and lack of objective dialogue are the root cause of Islamophobia and Anti-Americanism." – a statement by Abukar Arman in this article
Not so fast, buster. The word "Islamophobia" is not an acceptable term for intelligent apprehensions over Islam. For Islam is for its adherents a total belief-system whose central and moving idea is that of a complete division between Believer and Infidel. It asks of Believers that they offer their sole loyalty to Islam as a Total System, and to the Jihad, furthered through many conceivable instruments, to spread the dominance of Islam to lands that for now may still be under Infidel rule. Believers are also to ensure that dominance of Islam by removing "all obstacles" to its spread. They are to ensure that Muslims rule, and not just here or there, not just in the lands now part of Dar al-Islam or once part of Dar al-Islam, but everywhere.
The large-scale presence of Muslims in the Lands of the Infidels has brought about a situation, for those indigenous Infidels (and also for other non-indigenous arrivals, non-Muslim immigrants), that is unpleasant, expensive (the costs of monitoring, the costs of security, spiralling ever upward), and physically dangerous. Ask a Frenchman who dares to enter the "quartiers chauds" which are all over France. Or ask English residents of Birmingham and Bradford and Leeds and Manchester and parts of London, or ask Swedes in Malmo, or Dutch in Rotterdam and parts of Amsterdam.
"Islamophobia" is a word concocted to intimidate those who are rightly troubled, and more than troubled, by what they have learned of Islam largely through the observable behavior of Muslims not only in the West, but around the world -- and also through more and deeper study of the canonical texts and of the history of Jihad-conquest over the past 1350 years, from Spain to the East Indies, and of the subsequent subjugation of many different non-Muslim peoples: Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists, and others. The similarities in their treatment, and the similarities in the impulses and attitudes exhibited by Muslims over a wide area, are simply too great to ignore.
Likewise impossible to ignore are the problems of Muslims in Australia and England, in France and Germany, in Spain and Italy, in Belgium and the Netherlands, in Sweden and Denmark and Norway, or even, in far fewer numbers, in the United States and Canada. Everywhere they manifest the same kinds of hostility, the same kinds of wearing-away demands, the same false or real outrage, the same refusal to truly collaborate with the security services. They engage in constant attempts to undermine the most commonsensical of measures. They conduct sustained and cynical campaigns of Da'wa, often based on hiding the reality of Islam and offering the most superficial aspects of it (the rituals) to a vulnerable targeted audience of the economically and psychically marginal. And they do so many other things -- including the astonishing campaigns to shut down free speech everywhere, not only in Denmark (at Jyllands-Posten, which resulted in death threats directed at Danes from all over the Dar al-Islam) but also in The Netherlands (the murders of Pym Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh). Death threats have driven some out their jobs (Robert Redeker in France) and forced others to cease the expression of their views (Will Cummins in Great Britain). This is Islam On the March, completely determined to keep and hold and expand what it sees as its beachhead, and more than a beachhead, all over the Dar al-Harb.
The inability or willful refusal by many in the West to understand this is a product of many things. Among those things is sentimentalism about How All People Are the Same the Whole World Over and Everyone Wants the Same Thing, with its obvious variant, All Religions Are Equally Dangerous. Just look at a few of those blood-curdling lines about the Canaanites or some such in old Hebrew texts -- why, that makes Judaism just as dangerous, maybe more so, than Islam with whatever it is said to inculcate. Doesn't it?
What this transparent attempt at symmetry offers is not one falsehood but many. "Islamophobia" is a word used by apologists for Islam to avoid answering specific, detailed, and knowledgeable questions about Islam. These questions that cannot be answered, in truth, because if the truth were offered as an answer it would force Muslims themselves to indict Islam, to admit that what is in the texts is in the texts, and is taken seriously by a billion people -- and that those who do not take the texts seriously are not "moderate" Muslims but essentially bad Muslims, unobservant Muslims, Muslims who do not really believe. And there are far fewer of these than most non-Muslims assume. They are always open to the possibility of relapse, and certainly their progeny are, so that Infidels cannot base their own security and that of their institutions on the "hope" that those "moderate" -- i.e., bad -- Muslims will never change their minds, and that their children will continue in the same vein.
That is a wager that Infidels should not be asked to make: to bet their physical safety and that of their children and grandchildren, and that of their societies on those moderates. For those Infidel societies are already in various states of confusion and disarray, and are facing all kinds of problems. Such a bet could allow them to be done in by this Total Belief-System that originated 1350 years ago as an ideology, compounded of bits and pieces, distorted or misremembered, of both Judaism and Christianity, and with an admixture of pre-Islamic Arab paganism.
No. That should not be expected of us, the Infidels. We are not ready to concede, or to commit suicide.
[Posted by Hugh at January 26, 2007]
Hmmm. I wonder whether Mr. Doudou Diene is a muslim. Let's see. He's from Senegal, where almost 95% of the people are muslims. So it's probably a pretty good bet that he's muslim, too. I propose that from now on, every public statement or report from any organization on the subject of racism or bigotry -- & especially where the purported victims are muslims -- include a disclaimer stating the religious affiliation of those who prepared said statement or report. Seems to me that besides taking a page out of Mein Kampf, muslims have also learned a lesson from Cuba, N. Korea, and their like, which, some years ago, effectively seized control of UN committees on human rights. Now, muslims have insinuated themselves into places where, speaking on behalf of the UN & other int'l orgs, they can define what intolerance & bigotry are. If the EU countries had any courage, they'd tell the UN that they'd relax any intolerance toward muslims precisely to the same extent that islamic countries eased up on their much more extreme intolerance of infidels.
Having read the Qur'an, it is hard not imagine any infidel not being afraid of Islam. Which is what Islamaphobia means..........
"Islamophobia" on the rise in Europe ?
Great ! Just about time !
I finally dragged my behind up and read today's news - and find that it is good news. We can only hope that we all - infidels, that is - become islamophobes. It will be the only thing that saves us.
No wonder, the moslem countries - all 57 of them - are running the UN. UN out of new York and USA and the WEST out of UN!!
Why not start a "League of Democratic Nations" with very strict entry requirements instead?
The moslems have the OIC as befits their fascist-aggressive mentality.
We need something of our own to counter-balance that.
Doudou Diene, UN special rapporteur on racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance, also accused Switzerland’s most popular party, the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP/UDC), of inciting hatred.
He urged the withdrawal of the party’s controversial campaign poster calling for expulsion of foreigners who commit serous crimes, depicting three white sheep booting out a black sheep under the headline “For the Security of All”.
Maybe Doodoo wants to leave Switzerland and retuirn to his lovely Native Land ??!!

Jujst wait for the splashscreen to load and go by or click on the tiny "spiel starten" at the bottom of the splash. All the games are fUN[ny] but the one that Doodoo might get a particular rise from is game #2. #1 is about fighting to keep swiss passports away from those who aren't Swiss. Game #3 is all about a William Tell theme. The EU tryin g to tax the INDEPENDENT Nation of Switzerland! You guys know less than half of it what is going on in Eu-ROB-ia these days..

In Europe!!! Incroyable!! Ou sont les flics??!
PS. there are English captions on the video.
THEY are allowed these violent demos in Europe but Native Europeans are banned from having a peaceful demo in Brussels!
It just proves that the jihad is successful in Europe, and the Europeans react correctly to it. The purpose of the jihad is to create fear (terror) in the hearts of the unbelievers (Sura 8:12-13) by cutting off heads and fingertips.
Islamophobia litterally means "Fear of Islam", which is what all the Muslims and Islamists want, and which is a sound and sane reaction to terror.
Our reaction should be to invent ways and means to create Kafirophobia among the Muslims. I think mass castration with a dull knife of all male Muslims may be something to start with.
Allahfanculo,
Fabulous post to expose what a bunch of whining babies and hypocrites.
Provocation? These guys mentioned that the two Europeans were provoking 1.5 billion Muslims. Are they kidding? They come into our countries, demand that they be allowed to treat us like dhimmis and take over our countries and they are outraged by two European guys "provoking" them by peacefully standing on the sidelines with a counter message? I'm sorry but this just proves that Muslims are fucking idiots and I don't know for the life of me why we are so scared of these whining l'enfant terrible. Oh yeah, I forgot...our leaders are fucking idiots too, and so ready to put us away if we make a move to defend ourselves. But the day is coming...
sheik yer booty said
Tolerance of evil (religiously sanctioned murder, rape, pedophilia, female genital mutilation, banditry, and extortion, to name a few) is no virtue. I hope that we never tolerate the "values" taught in the Qur'an and ahadith.
Never.
Allahfanculo ....
When is that Muslim mob video from? Is in Paris?
Bravo for the Swiss. They are not part of the EU so feel less constrained about booting immigrant criminals most of whom will be Muslim. But no nation has to tolerate immigrant criminals of any stripe. That's how a proud sovereign nation behaves.
No minarets is also a smart move. This stifles the inbred oneupmanship of the Mohammedans
I once knew a guy who was bitten by black widow spider. He survived after three days in the hospital and was left with an ugly scar. Needless to say he is scared spitless of black spiders no matter what kind. Sometimes arachnaphobia is a good thing.
It's an Extremists' world, the Moderates just live in it.
Hmmm. I wonder whether Mr. Doudou Diene is a muslim. Let's see. He's from Senegal, where almost 95% of the people are muslims. So it's probably a pretty good bet that he's muslim, too.
and Muslims are very good at playing the victim is well victimizing non-Muslims because the Muslim eyes since they are not followers of their moon god and his pet pedophile they are not innocent and deserve anything that Muslims do to them as they are not innocent humans and let's not forget Muslim nations and their allies are worse human rights violators in history and they are in charge of the human rights council but in their eyes only violations of Muslim rights are important violation of infidels human rights don't matter because infidels are not human
Poor Mr. Diene hasn't seen anything yet! Just wait 'till the shit hits the fan, which should be about any day now. He might want to seek immediate refuge in a safe place, surrounded by his despicable UN cohorts and colleagues. They should all fit nicely under their enormous desks in their spacious, luxurious offices, where this worthless, UN islamic agitprop is spawned.
The audacity of the Eurocrats and their partners in corruption, the OIS, never ceases to astonish me. Who needs these slimeballs in NY? Who benefits from the UN besides islamic bullies and commies? To listen to their boring diatribes and lamentations, one would think that nothing and nobody matters in this world but islam, muslims, and their infinite demands. I HATE ISLAM, but I'm not an islamophobe. I will spread my hate for islam as far and wide as possible and nobody can stop me. How's that, Mr. Diene? You have inspired me to hate islam even more and bolstered my resolve to share my hate with everyone I meet. Thank you very much for the encouragement!
I think it's great news that Islamophobia is on the rise in Europe.
I want the pot to start boiling over. Something's gotta give.
If it starts in Europe, it could ignite over here.
Islamophobic?
Nah.
Islamo-pathic.
Sick of Islam.
The SVP-poster criticized by Doudou Diene is about criminals, not about muslims or blacks.
.. which ist absolutely clear from the text of the law proposal to send criminals of foreign background to the country of origin (respecting human rights of course, e.g. by not sendig them home if they face execution).
This is the children version:

This is the adult (and clearer) version

I think the expression of the "black sheep" exists in english, too, and it has nothing to do with race.
Apparently, Mr Doudou Diene thinks that
- criminals are a race
or
- criminal acts are religious acts
No mention of race or religion in the law. With his remark of "islamophobia" he somehow confirms that most criminals are muslims. THANKS to Mr Doudou Diene for this information.
I've said it before and I'll say it agian;
The U.N. - The Useless Nations
Boy the U.N are doing a great job all over the world protecting innocents from muslim oppression. Ban the U.N. from the U.S. immediately, only a few more days before we get another visit from the iranian chimpboy and Hugo the magnificent, maybe Hugo will bring a gift of cheap oil so poor folks across the U.S. can see how wonderful our south american buddy is.
Doudou Diene is so extreme, he is not far from declaring that christians who refuse to convert to islam or submit to Allah are islamophobic and therefore racist.
The UN are cheats murders for cheating! When is Kofi getting his day? Billions of dollars stolen Kofi and his son -accused. No one mentions this, no media. They paid off our "allies" NOT to get envolved in the "war". What BULL is that? Where is the outcry for that!? It has paid for the war this discovery and all the money now we are saving watching the books! What good is it?
FreeSpeech -- Thank you for the links. I hadn't seen the one in which the sheep had been stabbed. It really gets the message across.
Yes, we have the saying about black sheep in English, too, and you're right, it's got nothing to do with ethnicity.
Woooow Hugh..that was kickass! YES!
The islamophobes are the islamist themselfs.
