D.C. Imam: "Zionist, Israeli press" has "raised the spectrum of Islamophobia so high that people feel like there’s no restriction in their behavior and hatred towards Muslims"

Imam Musa wants to establish an Islamic State of America by 2050 and has called Iran's Khamenei the "best leader in the world." Here, he spreads paranoid fantasies about "Islamophobia" in the Iranian press, while of course remaining silent about actual persecution of religious minorities in Muslim countries.

"Washington Imam: Zionists systematically inflaming Islamophobia across the globe," from the Ahlul Bayt News Agency, August 8 (thanks to Lachlan):

A mosque in the Midwestern US state of Missouri has been completely destroyed in a suspected arson attack, the second attack to hit the place of worship in a little more than a month.
Muslim Mosques in the US are filled with jubilance [sic] during the holy month of Ramadan.

The Monday incident came a day after a deadly shooting at a Sikh temple in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek in Wisconsin, which took the lives of six people.

Sikh rights groups have reported a rise in bias attacks since the September 11, 2001 attacks. The Washington-based Sikh Coalition has reported more than 700 incidents in the US since 9/11.

Interview with Abdul Alim Musa, Imam at Masjid Al-Islam, to further discuss the issue. The following is a rough transcription of the interview.

Q: Thank you so much for being with us. There seems to be a rise in hate crimes in general. We have seen just a day ago dealing with the Sikhs, and now we have a mosque that has been attacked and basically burnt down. Why do you think that we are seeing this situation, it seems, on the rise?

Musa: [In the Name of God -- the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate], it’s clearly a provocation by the Zionist, Israeli press, to tell you the truth. They have raised the spectrum of Islamophobia so high that people feel like there’s no restriction in their behavior and hatred towards Muslims.

This a new phenomenon that’s growing higher and higher because the press has an unrelenting program of anti-Islamic hatred, day in and day out. It’s not only Fox News but it’s the whole Israeli news apparatus inside of the United States and around the world.

We believe that these so-called hate crimes are a result of this type of propaganda, anti-Islamic propaganda that’s spread all over this country....

I was always lousy at Physics, however the phrase '' They have raised the spectrum of Islamophobia so high'' has thrown my mind into a conundrum.

. . And 'Musa' seems to be forgetting that his namessake was the one who let the children of Israel to their homeland, way back then.

Scumbags like this make me sick. What Zionist, Israeli press? The press in the main are anti-Zionist and anti-Israeli. I'm fed up with Muslims claiming victim status when all they do is make demands all the time, which by and large we bow down to. As for hate crimes, it is Muslims who commit the hate crimes!

Musa: [In the Name of God -- the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate]...

That's Allah, the god of Muhammad. Couldn't he teach his prophet to show some mercy?

Amazing, isn't it.

''The Monday incident came a day after a deadly shooting at a Sikh temple in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek in Wisconsin, which took the lives of six people''

Six people were *murdered*, and the snivelling mohammedan manages to turn that into a rant about 'islamophobia', and how *muslims* are the victims. Faugh.

'' ... and now we have a mosque that has been attacked and basically burnt down''

Well, which is it ? *How* has it been attacked ? What does 'basically' burnt down mean ? Either it's been burnt down, or it hasn't. If this has truly happened, ( and was not done by muslims, themselves, as we know they have done in the past) then I condemn it wholeheartedly, and want the perpretators brought to justice.

However, whilst a despicable crime (if it happened, and wasn't done by muslims themselves), it is not as heinous as the *murder* of six people.

Unless this is not the whole interview, and he does say it in an unpublished bit, this disgusting 'cleric' doesn't utter *one word* of pity, commiseration, or condemnation of the murders. No. Totally ignores it, except as a vehicle to launch into a rant about 'islamophobia', and anti-islamic 'hatred.'

Well, nothing surprising really, mohammedans are *always* the victims, even when it is six *Sikhs* that have been murdered.

muslim lack of self-awareness, the inability to be self-critical; 'islamophobia' has of course, absolutely *nothing* to do with the almost 20,000 jihad attacks since 9/11, nothing to do with the many, many failed attacks on American soil, nothing to do with the hundreds of foiled jihadist attacks in London over the Olympics period.

Nope. It's all the fault of 'islamophobia', fuelled and led by those dastardly 'Jooooooz'.

Since the Leftist/Liberal media and yahoos like Rosie and Ellen seems to want to find the Root-Causes for muslim Terrorism fueled by the West. Lets turn this around and ask Sikh's and Muslim's to look deep inside themselves to ask them what it is they do to Create islam/sikh-ophobes as the Root-cause.

Hmmmmm, image that , muslims actually reflecting on their actions to see why people hate their guts and don't accept their jew-hating death-cult as a valid faith. As for Sikh's, 2 of them in canada slaughtered 240 canadians with not one peep form the MSM or Politicians that the killers did it as Sikh's.
I'm sick of the BS to absolve bad behavoiur when it's a Minority group at the core of riots and violence or misogyny/homophobia.

Ah...., no problem there LJ, ol' little man musa has simply raised the specter of those wascally wascally Joooooooooz risen' up, high over his mind, and then he, she, or it, committed the usual wide spectrum of blame for everything, all over the place, except where it belongs, squarely on the big asses of the muslim gang's butts! The specter scared him so, he just couldn't bring his'self to put the blame on his own butt. Those muslim's get spectered all the time (would help if they were actually literate, more than simple allahu akbar, etc.)

No problem, really, just the usual delusional state of mind of the over brainwashed muzz!

Well explained, TJ.
They do seem to trip-up with their use of language.

. .though that's not really surprising, as Momad & his followers didn't get into the speaking-in-tongues thang. . Arabic was all they ever wanted to know.
