Organization of Islamic Cooperation top dog urges member countries to intensify efforts to resolve "Islamophobia"

If the OIC really wants to resolve "Islamophobia," it doesn't really have to stamp out the freedom of speech, although that is what it is determined to do. Here is a much preferable way. The OIC can do these things, and call on Muslims in the U.S. and elsewhere to do them as well:

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 verifiable 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! "Islamophobia" will evanesce!

"OIC urges member-countries to resolve problem with Islamophobia," from Trend, June 18:

Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has urged member-countries to intensify efforts in resolving Islamophobia, the organization said today.

"It is necessary to resolve the problem with Islamophobia as it is undergoing a new phase, when it is used in Europe for political gains," he said.

He added that some European politicians promote hatred toward foreigners and Islam rather than engage in economic and social problems of the country.

"It is necessary to resolve the problem with Islamophobia as it is undergoing a new phase, when it is used in Europe for political gains," he said.”

Obviously this is aimed for non muslim countries. What they really mean to say is,
1. don’t oppose our jihad stealth or otherwise.
2 don’t prosecute muslims for any so called crimes, we are to determine what’s a crime and for us only crimes against other muslims by muslims count as crimes.
3. allow our women to wear burkes unrestricted.
4. allow us all forms of Islamic traditions including polygamy, child marriages, FGM, killing apostates, killing homosexuals, punishing those muslims who don’t act like proper muslims, and other allah approved activities that we will define later.

If you oppose any of these you are an islamophobe and must be punished.

"If Muslims do those five things, voila! 'Islamophobia' will evanesce!"

Ha! If Moslems were to do your five points, Islam itself would evanesce. Which would be a great thing, but I don't see it happening. Your five points ask Moslems to stop violent jihad and aggression against non-Moslems, and to deal honestly, fairly, and sincerely with non-Moslems. Since violence, deceit, and aggression are at the heart of Islam, you're asking them to stop being Moslems.

Dear Robert: If muslims did what you suggest Islam would no longer be Islam, but a religion like Bahaism. Islam could not exist with out it's reign by terror to prevent criticism and apostasy. Like any fascist state it compels everyone to think alike and behave alike under penalty of torture and death. Muslim states are like North Korea,(but in the case of Saudi Arabia with money and plenty of hypocrasy).

If these murderers only behave like human beings, Islamophobia will go away!

I think Muslims ought to be called upon to examine their contradiction & 7th century ignorance riddled Qur'an honestly. The informed reaction of fear of Islam & Muslims (erroneously called a phobia) can only disappear if they dump what is so clearly a 7th century fraud, and a very pernicious and mentally debilitating one at that.

Hah! Read that as

Ihsanoglu has urged member-countries to intensify efforts in inventing more Islamophobia"

they should in economics and socail program.....

they are the problem. when was the last time you could engage an islamist?
M

Imam Rauf was in canada last month to spew his hatred for canada and speak to the useful idiots about the rampant "islamophobia" in canada.
Except for one thing, canada just finished the Shafia Shariah-Murder case in Court for an islamist that killed 4 females for allah's Honour. The Toronto-18 were dwindled down to about 13 ardent islamists that wanted to slaughter 10'000+ civilains via truck bombs, they were Convicted and sentenced with NO signs of remorse other than the failure to appease allah by their failure to complete their mission.

Poor Imam Rauf and his sidekick Con-job Khan, sellin their Snake-Oil to the really dumb muslims that want to blame all of islam short coming on canada and "The Joooooz" as many msulims love to do.

CAIR-Canada sponsored the 2-Amigo's to spew their hatred, and CAIR still gets Air-Time at the CBC as the Moderate voice for islam.

Know CAIR - NO peace
NO CAIR - Know peace

Yeah, it's tough for Muslims in the West. They are, after all, forbidden from practicing their religion, running for political office, constructing Mosques, possessing Korans, converting others to their religion.

It's a shame this level of Islamophobia isn't taken more seriously.

Anyone believing it is feasible to realise the points 1-5 is living in a dream world, considering each is diametrically opposed to the very essence of Sharia and Islamic doctrine.

A cursory examination of history and current affairs clearly demonstrates that whenever savages are handed the trappings of democracy they will vote for savagery.

Why don't you just say it, eliminate Islam, and by peaceful or other means.

From the posted article:

"He [OIC gang boss - dda] added that some European politicians promote hatred toward foreigners and Islam rather than engage in economic and social problems of the country."

But the aggressively-expanding Mohammedan colonies in Europe are both *causing* and *exacerbating* both economic and social problems in that continent (as, indeed, Mohammedans do everywhere else that they go).

Remove the Mohammedans - for example, remove nearly a million Mohammedan invaders (oops, 'illegal immigrants') who are mostly males of military age, of Afghan, Somali and Iranian ethnicity, who have flooded into Greece in just the past five to ten years via Turkey, with Turkey's active or passive connivance, and an enormous social and economic and law-and-order burden upon the stressed Greek economy would disappear overnight. Greece would still have its problems, but they would be perceptibly smaller.

As Mr Hugh Fitzgerald, formerly much contributing on this forum, used to say, over and over:

The large-scale presence of Muslims in the countries of Western Europe [and, too, in India, in Russia, in Australia, in many African countries that historically up till now had few or no Muslims, and increasingly in other parts of the world, such as Fiji and the Caribbean - dda] has led to a situation, for the indigenous non-Muslims and for other, immigrant non-Muslims, that is far more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than would be the case without such a large-scale Muslim presence."

And since I have mentioned Hugh Fitzgerald, here is one of his classic articles, 'Islamophobia? Really?", for the benefit of those new to this site and this subject.

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/12/fitzgerald-islamophobia-really.html

The sanity of Robert's list is of course rejected daily by muslim leaders. They want "islamophobia" to disappear without their having to change in any way. If and when the West decides to do something about the scourge of Islam it will have to bear in mind Islam's intransigence and incorrigibility. It has often been rightly pointed out that Islam is advancing in the West not because of its strength but because of our weakness. The solution is with us not with them. We need to bring down Islam as Reagan brought down the USSR. It can be done. But of course as JW readers well know most Western Gorvernments are appeasers. And so the work of trying to educate the West goes on...

Isn't this much like asking a Burmese python to be so good as to not squeeze me to death before it eats me? Sincerity, honesty, transparency, and "verifiable ways" are not the hallmarks of Islam. Taqiyya, yes. Islam doesn't value those things, so it's a waste of pen and ink and thought to propose them to the OIC, except as an academic or rhetorical exercise.

May I suggest that Robert's remark's have been a little misapprehended by some? Let us not try to teach the dog how to bark. RS is not naive and is well aware that his analysis of the solution to "Islamophobia" is obviously rejected by the muslim "powers".
(Apologies to Robert if I'm not representing him well).
