Over at Brussels Journal, Fjordman has another terrific piece. A small excerpt:
The Swedish news website The Local writes about The Holocaust: Sweden’s complex legacy. That’s great. Unfortunately, it quickly degenerates into bashing all those who oppose Sweden’s policies of mass migration. According to The Local, “Leading the campaign for Holocaust education is the Forum for Living History, a government agency commissioned to promote democracy and human rights, with the Holocaust as its point of reference. Reports and studies published by the Forum deal with various forms of modern intolerance amongst young Swedes, including Islamophobia.”I know that people such as Swedish historian of religion Matthias Gardell claim that Islamophobia is perhaps the greatest threat to democracy in the Western world today. Personally, I subscribe more to the view of Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch that “‘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.” Has the Forum for Living History asked the French teacher Robert Redeker about Islamophobia, after he had to quit his job and go into hiding following numerous death threats for criticizing Islam?
Read it all.

All we hear about is this evil called "Islamophobia" these days. How about "Infidelophobia"-Muslim fears and hatreds against anyone who doesn't bow to their god? Nobody in the Western media talks of this, even though it has proven far more deadly than "Islamophobia" in the last few years. Hell, Infidelophobia has killed and enslaved millions in the last 1400 years but of course saying such things is out of the question because it would be "Islamophobic". It looks like PC has given birth to yet another abomination.

Isn't it strange that the phenomenon of "islamophobia" has become so prevalent, putatively rampant in Europe, America, and everywhere muslims are a minority? Perhaps the wise historian Matthias Gardell should ponder the obvious, glaring, blatant question: What is it about muslims and islam that evoke popular contempt? It's very odd that millions of disparate people separated by thousands of miles and several continents have succumbed to "islamophobia." Could the natives of so many widespread places all be wrong?
Islamophobia is hardly the biggest threat to democracy, islam is. The word "islamophobia" is a cleverly contrived epithet for "bigot", a nice little category in which to place everyone who questions or criticizes islam, designed to shame and silence them.
I often wonder how many of the erudite, respected academics that are apologists for islam believe their own lies. I think most of them do.

What a giant SHAM indeed. These PC liEberals are so convincing to anyone but the most battle-hardened like us simply because they actually BELIEVE the lies they spout.
Politicians by nature have to play as many sides as they can so they'll go along with whatever they hear and read in the MSM.
So we remain WIDE open for a royal f4cking. All the while Hitlery rears her ugly head Stateside.
While we discuss such important things like female presidents and gay marriage our enemies keep smuggling themselves into our lands.. getting laws made to suit their needs... getting in weapons no doubt as well.

When people turn in history papers on events in Muslim history, I suggest that they start using the new replacement terms that they normally use:
Mohammed - founder of Islamo-Fascism
Caliph - leader of the Islamo-Fascists
Jihad - what Islamo-fascists do
Conquest of Byzantine and Sassanid empires - conquests by the Islamo-Fascists
Tamerlane - Islamofascist conqueror
Abu Akaf - Islamophobe
Ka'ab bin Ashraf - another Islamophobe
Asma bint Marwan - a pregnant Islamophobette
Heraclius - Islamophobic emperor of Byzantium
Khusrau, Yazdgird III - Islamophobic rulers of Persia
Dahar - Islamophobic ruler of Sind
Jayapala, Anantapala - Islamophobic rulers of Kabul
Mahmoud of Ghazni - Islamo-Fascist ruler of Ghazni
You get the picture. Just do it for history - the Ilkhanate started off as an Islamophobic empire, and ended up as an Islamo-Fascist one.
Challenge teachers to prove you wrong.

One reason why a lot of us dislike Islam is precisely because we value government as a compact between leaders and people. We understand as well that there are situations which the municipal laws of states must use only the general equity of divine law rather than the exact statute given in the ancient Middle East (I'm borrowing and rephrasing an idea from the Calvinist James Dalrymple, First Visocunt Stair, of ca. 1683).
Some of us follow a divine law in which peaceful witness to the heathen is the rule; not war.
Last of all, while ome of us still regard government as a divine institution, we see God's providential means of establishing a government in the compact made by a people to do so. We do not believe that there was ever any "rightly guided" Caliph (or infallible successor to Christ, for that matter)to give government its sanction.
Face it. The Refromed version of Christianity is the democratic religion; Islam is not.

I'd like to suggest a "culturally more sensitive" term for us Jihadwatchers. Islamophobe sounds so.. shall we say crass?
Why don't we change it to something like islamosavant?
Because THAT is what we are. KNOWLEDGEABLE about pigslam and the devastating effects it has on the human brain and on every country that it infests.
We are ISLAMOSAVANTS!!!!
