The very concept of "Islamophobia" was invented by Islamic supremacists in order to claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from the global jihad and Islamic supremacism. If self-proclaimed moderate Muslims really wants to cure "Islamophobia," here is an easy way. They can:
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, sincerely, honestly, and in deeds, not just in comforting words, 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, teaching accordingly in mosques and Islamic schools, and behaving in accord with these new teachings.
3. Teach, again sincerely and honestly, in transparent and inspectable ways in mosques and Islamic schools, the imperative of Muslims coexisting peacefully as equals with non-Muslims on an indefinite basis, and act accordingly.
4. Begin comprehensive international programs in mosques all over the world to teach sincerely against the ideas of violent jihad and Islamic supremacism.
5. Actively and honestly work with Western law enforcement officials to identify and apprehend jihadists within Western Muslim communities.
If Muslims do those five things, voila! People like me will no longer suffer from the illness of "Islamophobia"!
"Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 'Islamophobia is on the rise,'" by Rick Chandler for NBC Sports, January 19:
Below we have a link to a video of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who sat down with Katie Couric this morning -- on the phone, hundreds of miles from each other -- to discuss Malcolm X, politics and of course Islam...."I think Islamophobia is on the rise," the former Los Angeles Laker said. "I think the best way to counter it is just communication, to let people who we are and what we believe in. It's no mystery and it's certainly nothing that we have to be fearful of."He went on to say that when we're dealing with radical people who "want to have a war with us, that gets thrown into the mix. A whole lot of confusion ensues."
You can say that again!
"I think Islamophobia is on the rise," the former Los Angeles Laker said. "I think the best way to counter it is just communication, to let people who we are and what we believe in. It's no mystery and it's certainly nothing that we have to be fearful of."
He has everything to be fearful of. The more people learn about Islam the more repulsed they are.
Inevitable
When you don't know what you're talking about, it's best to keep with what you know and to keep your mouth shut.
Stick with basketball, chump!
Katie: "What do you Kareem, get out of Islam?"
Kareem: "It gives me a moral anchor."
Mobamad: "Bullshit."
Check out this guys moral anchor.

Nothing screams morality like throwing fecies.
Did you hear him fumbleing around trying not to say "racism"
when he was talking about the Nation of Islam?
Pathetic.
I still remember the big guy as Lew Alcinder at UCLA having gone to numerous games over several years at Pauley Pavilion, and even enjoyed playing a couple of pick up games with him at UCLA way back then.
Sorry Kareem but I am proud to wear the badge as an Islamophobic, I have simply seen and read to much of what Islam is all about over the past decade.
What I see Muslims doing to Christians,Jews,Hindus,and even fellow Muslims all over the world on a daily basis is overwhelming and impossible to ignore.
The next question to Kareem from Couric, who offered no challenges to him should have been; why do you think that 96 percent of Islamic countries have no freedom or very little freedom and are ruled by despots and dictators while the opposite exists in Western democracies?
He's a Laker, folks. (loyal Celtics fan)
Hey Kareem:
1. Violence begets fear.
2. Fear causes responses
3. Islam CAUSES islamophobia
Get a clue buddy
I wonder if Lew Alcindor ever wonders how his ancestors ever got to America in the first place. Oh, that's right, they were sold into slavery by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Muslim Arab "brothers". Irony?
Notice that it is Infidel Katie Couric who *herself* prompts Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to concur that "Islamophobia" is "on the rise".
Clueless dhimmi.
It's strange to see Black Americans condemning the past slavery and yet turning to another slavery, but this time more dangerous since it's Nazi-like, under Islam. Get over your "slavery" mentality, for goodness sake - and stop being SLAVES to the most deceitful and cunning suspected Islamic Trojan Horse, Hussein Obama. Don't let Hussein use his 'blackness' to deceive you, Black Americans, wake up for goodness sake!
Islam makes sense to him...
That Islamic morality is great isn't it?
This guy is not to bright...
Is it Islamophobia or Islamonausea? Let's take this simple test: The Islamophobia Test (by Lorna Saltzman)
http://crossmuslims.blogspot.com/2010/04/are-you-islamophobe.html
Robert: your suggestions are very reasonable. Unfortunately, stating the things you suggest are against the very fiber of Islam. If a Muslim truly says and means those things, he would not be following the Qu'ran's teachings and effectively becomes a non-Muslim; he/she will then join the ranks of the Kuffar, of which I am proud to be a part!
"He went on to say that when we're dealing with radical people who 'want to have a war with us, that gets thrown into the mix. A whole lot of confusion ensues.'"
Well, he's got me confused. Just who are the "radical people" and who are the "we" that are dealing with them?
Does he mean that we Americans are dealing with radical Islamic attackers?
Or does he mean that we Moslems are dealing with radical "Islamophobes"?
I suspect he means the latter, in which case he's a deluded fool.
what's so "attractive" about Islam..? surely these converts heard something that they wanted to hear.. I for one have been proselytized on twice and was not convinced, only perhaps because Islam wasn't properly explained to me..? I don't know.. what's so attractive about Islam.. I don't really understand why people convert to this religion.. I've read the qur'an and it's so convoluted and illogical.. it's like God is such a bad writer he can't get his stories straight.. mohammad jumps from one topic to the next without warning, repeats the same sermon in several chapters, not to mention anachronisms and confusing timelines.. it's like reading a poorly edited copy.. and THERE'S NOTHING NEW in it..! seriously.. there's no groundbreaking revelation or new plan of salvation.. no kernel of truth that hasn't already been revealed.. arrgggh thinking about it just irritates me.. so back to the question.. what's so attractive about Islam..?
First we had Justin Bieber weigh in on Islam; now we have Kareem Abdul-Jabbar weigh in. A boy-band singer and now a jock.
Two men of the same stature. At least Justin has an excuse: he just got hair down below. Kareem's never had any a-tall.
And pray, tell, Mr. Alcindor,
How does your copy of Qur'an differ from every other copy on the planet?
What'ya say, big guy, we go out and amputate a few thieves' hands, eh?
And if you ever had to appear in an American court, as either a defendant of as a juror, how hard would it be to accept that the value of every female member of the jury box, and every female withness, carries the same weight as a man's.
And if you were a defendant, wouldn't it just about kill 'ya to have unbelievers standing in judgement of you as a superior Muslim?
And how about good ole' Mohammad Ali? Does he read some 'lite' version of Qur'an, too?
Or Keith Ellison? Or Mike Tyson? Or Cat Stevens? Or Doug Hooper?
Uh, huh.
It's the new brand! Islam-Lite! Tastes hate and is so much less filling!
Hey! Robert has just suggested a new 5 Pillars of Islam.
Jump on that moderate reformers!
So, Mr. Abdul-Jabbar, I suppose your co-religionists will set off a few more car-bombs until we all whimper that yours is a "religion of peace"?
Of course we won't mean it. I ran into an Iranian-born Assyrian woman in a local grocery, and when we started talking about things in the old country, she spoke of the "Muslims" as "the most evil and treacherous people there are." Isn't it interesting how when the Dhimmi get out of reach of the Islamic police and mob justice, their logical deductions from centuries of persecution come out?
I have worked with an Assyrian for more than 15 years.
At first he was cautious to describe his life amongst muslims while growing up in the middle east.
Without any prodding from me, he now tells me the real story -- much akin to what you've just described.
Is there no end to the disgust about islam I am put through every single day?
Islam means slavery to a tyrannical Irrationalistic deity.
Go figure why someon wants to submit to that.
Lou Al-Schmuck, jabbering.
The poor darlings... all they want to do is practice sharia law in peace! But those damned authoritarian regimes won't let them! Arrrrrrggh! GD authoritarian dictators!

Actually, APF, the Justin Bieber story was a hoax by a bunch of wags over at a site called Celeb Jihad.
It sounded so much like a horrible mash-up of cartoonish political correctness and vacuous teen slang, though, that a lot of people assumed it was the real thing. Even a lot of the very astute Jihad Watch regular posters missed the fact that this was a parody.
In reality, little Justin Bieber is guilty of nothing worse than singing vapid pop songs for the tweener set. Here's the story:
"What We Can Learn from Justin Bieber"

Unfortunately, the Kareen Abdul-Jabbar thing is the real deal, in his own words on national television. Certainly, *he's* old enough to know better.
I would have wet my pants in glee if Couric had asked Kareen if he knew that his hyphenated name meant "SLAVE" to Allah. That would have been some old school reporting. So typical that a player of a thuggish sport is predisposed to the brutality of Islam.
Charles Barkley expounding on particle physics would have made more sense.
What Lew meant to say was...
"Awareness of the Slavery that is islam is on the rise."
islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.
Anyone seen Gerbil Tea? I was kickin' his ass when he ran away. Haven't seen him since.

what's so attractive about islam?
Islam is anti-West and by extension it is anti-white. This is what is appealing to Jabbar and the like. your summation of the koran was nicely done. When Churchill was describing Mien Kampf he compared it with the koran as being (paraphrasing)'turgid, shapeless and pregnant with meaning'
what's so "attractive" about Islam..?
Only a narcissist mysogynist loser would'nt ask that.
Damn it Mackie! Get it straight!
You're an IslamoPROBE! Got it?!
Not an IslamoPHOBE! Got it?!

What's attractive about slavery...subjugation, islam?
The release from thought perhaps? Under islam one no longer needs to wonder, which way should I face when urinating? Do spirits such as Djinn exist? What should I use to cleanse myself after defecating? Is sex with children acceptable? (The answer is yes under sharia...)
No more questioning your existence. You now live to serve the moon god or to be more precise, you now serve mo...no relation to Moe, Larry and Curly.
Even the strictest of the totalitarian governments have ever regulated bodily functions.
Some, many may see this as release and relief. Just follow the instructions in the book of Death and no further thought or decision making is needed. And if you are confronted with a decision that's tough to make, your imam will show you the relevant writings in that putrid tome excreted from the anus of mos perverted and twisted mind and make the decision for you.
Submission is what it's all about. Those that do not see the value of Freedom, of Liberty are quick to give them up in exchange for all things forbidden on earth.
In other words, remain pious and holy all your life, or for a short life as a muslim before you detonate yourself and you can sin for eternity.
Sumpin' wrong with that...
islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.
