"Islamophobia," a recent and politically manipulative coinage, is now a crime against humanity. Yet unique among crimes against humanity, it is within the power of its victims to end, or at least to curtail so severely as to make it virtually nonexistent. Here are five ways Muslims can end "Islamophobia":
1. Focus their indignation on Muslims committing violent acts in the name of Islam, not on non-Muslims reporting on those acts.
2. Renounce definitively not just "terrorism," but any intention to replace the U.S. Constitution (or the constitutions of any non-Muslim state) with Sharia even by peaceful means. In line with this, clarify what is meant by their condemnations of the killing of innocent people by stating unequivocally that American and Israeli civilians are innocent people.
3. Teach Muslims the imperative of coexisting peacefully as equals with non-Muslims on an indefinite basis, rather than working toward impose Sharia upon those non-Muslims.
4. Begin comprehensive international programs in mosques all over the world to teach against the ideas of violent jihad and Islamic supremacism.
5. Actively work with Western law enforcement officials to identify and apprehend jihadists within Western Muslim communities.
"Erdoğan: Islamophobia crime against humanity," from Today's Zaman, December 18 (thanks to Maxwell):
Islamophobia is a crime against humanity just like anti-Semitism, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, while calling on the international community for recognition of this crime.
Is "Islamophobia" really like anti-Semitism? Let's see. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a forgery. Jews really don't have a secret plan to control the world. Is concern about Islamic supremacism similarly trumped up? Or does Islam include a political manifestation that teaches world domination?
Don't take my word for it. Let's go to Majid Khadduri, an Iraqi scholar of Islamic law of international renown. In his book War and Peace in the Law of Islam, which was published in 1955 and remains one of the most lucid and illuminating works on the subject, Khadduri says this about jihad:
The state which is regarded as the instrument for universalizing a certain religion must perforce be an ever expanding state. The Islamic state, whose principal function was to put God's law into practice, sought to establish Islam as the dominant reigning ideology over the entire world....The jihad was therefore employed as an instrument for both the universalization of religion and the establishment of an imperial world state. (P. 51)
Don't believe Khadduri? Very well. How about Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee, Assistant Professor on the Faculty of Shari'ah and Law of the International Islamic University in Islamabad. In his 1994 book The Methodology of Ijtihad, he quotes the twelfth century Maliki jurist Ibn Rushd: "Muslim jurists agreed that the purpose of fighting with the People of the Book...is one of two things: it is either their conversion to Islam or the payment of jizyah." Nyazee concludes: "This leaves no doubt that the primary goal of the Muslim community, in the eyes of its jurists, is to spread the word of Allah through jihad, and the option of poll-tax [jizya] is to be exercised only after subjugation" of non-Muslims.
Don't believe Nyazee, either? How about Iran's Thug-In-Chief Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Of course, he is no Islamic scholar, but he is a devout Muslim, and he learned Islam not from greasy Islamophobes but from...Islamic scholars. And he has said: "Have no doubt... Allah willing, Islam will conquer what? It will conquer all the mountain tops of the world."
Don't believe Ahmadinejad? How about a Shafi'i manual of Islamic law endorsed by the most prestigious institution in Sunni Islam, Al-Azhar University in Cairo? It says that the leader of the Muslims "makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians...until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax," and cites Koran 9:29 in support of this idea: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled." ('Umdat al-Salik o9.8)
Is concern about this imperialist imperative really "Islamophobia," akin to the lurid fictions that underlay anti-Semitism? No. Anyone who believes in freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and legal equality for all people should be concerned about this Islamic imperative, which would deny all three, and more besides.
Erdoğan's remarks came at a meeting with Syrian media held earlier this week, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported. The meeting was apparently held on the occasion of an upcoming official visit by Erdoğan to Damascus, which is scheduled for Tuesday."Islam means peace, and it cannot tolerate terrorism. We reject all attempts to link Islam with terrorism," Erdoğan was quoted as saying by SANA. The agency noted that Erdoğan also called on the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the Arab League and all concerned parties to present a unified front to help end Islamophobia.
Of course, he is not referring to Muslims who link Islam with terrorism by justifying acts of terrorism with reference to Islamic teachings.

erDOGan says mahoundianism means peace... In mahoundian epistemology, Somalia is a place where peace abounds. So is Yemen, and so will be Porkistan once it's got no more Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Hindus within its borders. That's certainly the kind of "peace" barking-mad, hydrophobic and hypocrite Erdog-Arab must be talking about. And isn't it in erDOGan's native bit of Arabistan/Mahoundistan that not just Mahound's Mein Qurampf, but its 20th-Century Version, Hitler's Mein Kampf, is actually a best seller?
It's just too bad that political correctness makes those dhimmi leaders of Western nations treat this inbred bedouin savage as a respectable statesman... When William Eaton's words to refer to Bobba Mostafa, the Dey of Algier, would actually fit beasts like erDOGan like a glove.
Is it Islamophobic to talk about the words and deeds, the life and times of the prophet of Islam? It should be, since Muslims are supposed to emulate the life of the perfect man in the way of the Hadith.

Is this hilarity "Islamophobic" to use their words, from their own scriptures?
And this is Good for Humanity?

Borrowing from darcy, I would like to put forward the proposition that the real crime of our time is "Infidelophobia," which is manifested, in thought and deed, on virtually a daily basis by Muslims across the world.

"Turkey in Europe: A Bridge Too Far" (by Paul Weston)
http://paulweston101.blogspot.com/2009/07/review-of-bridge-too-far-by-philip.html
Islam means peace, and it cannot tolerate terrorism. We reject all attempts to link Islam with terrorism,...
Islam has never been about peace. When Islam texts talk about "Peace" they talk about having successfully subdued and subjugated those that do not believe in this grotesque ideology.
By "Peace" they DO NOT mean the coexistence as equals of believers and non-believers.
Secondly, when Islamists like Erdogan, says Islam cannot tolerate terrorism they really means terrorism directed at Muslims. Since by "humanity" Islamists mean "Islamic Humanity".
Finally, Erdogan rejects the link between Islam and terrorism because Islamists need to to keep up the pretenses for the jihad to succeed (this works a treat with the UN).
All this rhetoric by Islamists is to avoid taking responsibility for Islam's crimes against humanity.
Islamists you spring from Islam - accept it and take responsibility - but, alas, that would be un-islamic.
Correction!! ...Islamofascism is a crime against humanity.
"Here are five ways Muslims can end "Islamophobia": ..."
The five ways Spencer adumbrates may well end or severely curtail "Islamophobia", but they will do nothing to end or severely curtail the evil danger of Islam and of all Muslims who enable Islam (and how many Muslims don't enable Islam, and of those we think don't enable Islam, how can we tell that they are sincere?) -- unless, that is, we would be so naive as to think that Muslims are capable of really reforming themselves and joining the modern human race.
And if we were so naive, and if thus our "Islamophobia" would be abated (or "severely curtailed" or even would "end"), we would accomplish nothing but serving to assist the Stealth Jihad, by endowing Muslims with a 5-point program of How To Pretend To Be Harmless -- while only making their Jihad a little more difficult perhaps for the extra caution they would have to exercise.

pho⋅bi⋅a [foh-bee-uh]
a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it.
Irrational? We have so many examples of what islam truly means that 'irrational' is the opposite of what we experience.
It needs to be repackaged as 'islamomisia', 'misia' being 'hatred' in Greek.
"Islam means peace, and it cannot tolerate terrorism. We reject all attempts to link Islam with terrorism"
Islam means peace ..??
wat a foolish thing to say ..that too from the head of the country which is responsible for the Armenian genocide.
Islam cant tolerate terrorism ..???
This guy seriously needs a "Islam for dummies" book...to brush up his knowledge.
We reject all attempts to link Islam with terrorism.... ???
This keeps getting better....its like saying ...
We Reject all attempts to link fish with water
We Reject all attempts to link birds with flight
His knowledge of Islam embarrasses both believers and infidels alike ....
If I'm not mistaken, Erdogan not long ago claimed that "There is no such thing as moderate or radical Islam, only Islam". If so, then it follows that Osama bin Laden is purely a Muslim, and that to be against him and his ideology is "Islamophobic".
Ergo in Erdogan's eyes, being against bin Laden is a "crime against humanity". Yet the leaders of Sudan, who are welcomed with open arms by Erdogan, are naturally not guilty of anything of the sort. So saying something critical of Muhammed or bin Laden is far worse than raping and taking as slaves whole towns and villages. Yet another insight into the mindset of these crazies. And Erdogan and his followers could soon be fellow EU citizens, with the power to make resolutions enforceable on Germany, France, Britain and every other EU member.
Islamophobia is a crime against humanity just like anti-Semitism, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, while calling on the international community for recognition of this crime.
.......................
The hypocrisy is amazing, since Erdogan has ranted against the "Jewish-backed media" for suggesting that Hamas has used civilians as human shields in Gaza.
Anti-Semitism in Turkey is historical. There are about 26,000 Jews left in Turkey today. While the horrifying destruction of Smyrna in 1922 was primarily aimed at Greek and Armenian Infidels, the thriving Jewish quarter was also wiped out. There are only around 2,300 Jews remaining in what is today known as Izmir.
Anti-Semitism continues to this day. Here's an article from Gates of Vienna on anti-Semitism in Turkey from last January:
"Anti-Semitism in Turkey is Out of Control"
http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2009/01/anti-semitism-in-turkey-is-out-of.html
The title SHOULD read "Islam" is a crime against humanity.
I would agree that it is time to treat this person like the radical that he is. He aligns himself with entities, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, that advocate genocide against not just Israel and Jews in general. I would like to see NATO dsissolved and a new body established without Turkey. It is no friend of the West.
True, Question-everything,
It is Islamo-philia (love of Islam) or ignorance of Islam or delusions about Islam (naiveté) among non-believers that is truly irrational.
Political Correctness and MultiCulturalism are also irrational when the holders of these beliefs are also professing to be in favor of democracy and its maintenance and expansion.
Or so I think.
Mr. Err-dogan made an error in the statement; actually he meant to say that islam-itself is a crime against humanity.
And DhimmiAmerica's beloved Emperor Hussein, belonging to the church of "Not God bless, but God DAMN America" agrees....as we see no opposition to this blurb.
This article should be sent to all Muslim organizations.
A little off-topic:
I actually know for a fact that there IS an ancient, international plot hatched by Jews to put the world under a Jewish king--it's called Christianity.
Jesus and his apostles were all Jews. The only non-Jewish writer of the New Testament was Luke, and even his Gentile identity has been called into question by some scholars. And, has anyone ever noticed that 4/5 of the Christian Bible is the Jewish Bible?
Islam is a crime against Humanity.
Okay, Kepha, the Jews to this day still do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah or the King of the Jews, they are still waiting, so unless you have substancial and untainted evidence to prove this, like also proving that there is a God, stop the idiocy.
Anyway, the Turkish prime minister Tayyip Erdoğan has alot of room to talk when it comes to crimes against humanity. Maybe he should recognize and apologize for the massacre of 2 million Armenian Christians from 1908 to 1915, or look at the lack of tolerance towards non muslims in Turkey.
It is the same as someone saying that murder is wrong while doing the murdering.
Patriarch Bartholomew I in Turkey said that We are treated... as citizens of second class. We don't feel that we enjoy our full rights as Turkish citizens," says the patriarch, who represents the world's 250 million Orthodox Christians.
He ruled out the option of leaving Turkey. "This is the continuation of Jerusalem and for us it is equally holy and sacred land. We prefer to stay here, even crucified sometimes," the patriarch adds.
Though Ankara does not interfere with the patriarchate's religious functions, it withholds recognition of Bartholomew's ecumenical title, treating him only as the spiritual leader of some 2,000 Orthodox Greeks still living in the country.
Turkish authorities also keep closed a theological school on an island off Istanbul, depriving the church of a means to train clergy.
Would this not be considered a crime against religious freedom? Therefore, a crime against humanity by the Turkish government? Nope, because according to Turkey's view, this is not a crime against Islam so therefore does not constitute a crime against humanity.
The same muslims who felt "offended" by the Swiss minaret ban and Saudi Arabia calling for the boycott of anything Swiss, or Turkey threatening to kill a priest for the banning of the minaret in Switzerland, is that not considered a crime against humanity? Not in their eyes, it is considered revenge and only a crime against Islam which they in turn deem that a crime against humanity.
Where is the UN on this, the European courts, are they not the ones who condemned the Swiss voting ban on the minaret calling it a human rights issue? Where are their voices? Oh that is right, the 57 members of the Islamic Organization have the UN under their control.
Is the multilation of the female clit not considered a crime against humanity? Are "honor killings" not considered a crime against humanity? The cutting off of hands and feet as done in Saudi Arabia not considered a crime against humanity? The hanging of gays in Iran not considered a crime against humanity? The forced conversion and marriage of coptic christian girls in egypt a crime against humanity? The murder of Siekhs, Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians by Muslim extremists not considered a crime against humanity? The beheadings of reporters and anyone else by Muslim extremists not considered a crime against humanity? Is the genocide of Christians in Sudan by muslim extremists not a crime against humanity? How about the stoning of adulterers in Iran and Saudi Arabia not considered a crime against humanity?
Who determines that? The Islamic Organization that calls telling the brutal truth of Islam a crime? Or the UN who panders to the Islamic Organization? CAIR who funds and supports terrorism? Turkey and their history of genocide? Hamas or Hezbollah that target innocent Israeli civilians, fires rockets into towns, or uses women and children as human shields?
All of these crimes against humanity above are condoned in the Koran and all of Islamic law. Muhammed approved of it.
Or the people who still find this appalling and abhor these atrocities, no matter who they are? The freedom loving world that wants human rights for all? Those who want to end the aggression, tyranny, and oppression of all? Those that value free speech?
It is tragic that their voices are not heard. They are either silent or being drowned out by the brutal regimes under Islamic law following Islamic law with the UN eating out of their hands.
We are in a world gone mad, when Geert Wilders is put on trial for freedom of speech that showed the abhorrent truth of Islam in his movie Fitna, while The 57 states of the Islamic Organiation is wanting to criminalize the defamation of Islam.
The action against Wilders is taking place, moreover, against the backdrop of the 57-government Organization of the Islamic Conference’s ongoing efforts at the United Nations to silence speech that they deem critical of Islam — including “defamation of Islam” that goes under the “pretext” of “freedom of expression, counter terrorism or national security.”
While this is allowed to happen:
In the Chicago suburbs on December 20, 2009, a group that has conspired to deny Americans their Constitutional and civil rights will be using a government-managed facility to recruit new members to their supremacist cause. In this case it will be the Islamic supremacist Hizb ut-Tahrir America organization, which will be using the Lombard Park District community building in the Village of Lombard.
On July 19, 2009, the Hizb ut-Tahrir America organization held a recruitment meeting in another Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn, Illinois, in the Hilton Hotel. The self-defined supremacist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir America at the July 19 event distributed brochures to the public calling for the "death penalty" for those who committed the "treason" of leaving Islam; this is found on page 62 of Hizb ut-Tahrir's brochure titled "Islamic reformation." An electronic form of such public death threats by Hizb ut-Tahrir against "apostates" is on the "official Hizb ut-Tahrir" web site Khilafah.com, linked to the Hizb ut-Tahrir America web page promoting the Lombard, Illinois event. Hizb ut-Tahrir rejects democracy and rejects secular nations, seeking only to promote an international "Khilafah" of Muslims, with its own set of laws.

So all my blog posting kafirs, if this is allowed to happen and this law is passed, you could be jailed or murdered for calling Muhammed a murderer or pedophiler.
It will be a sad day in this world, when evil prevails due to the extinguishing of the fires of freedom of speech.
It will be a sad day when freedom loving people are jailed or murdered for speaking out against the atrocities and brutality that is condoned and committed in the name of Islam.
The truth is on trial.
