Muslim cleric blames “radicalization” on “Islamophobia”

Apr 7, 2015 11:01 pm By Robert Spencer

Salman-SafaviYes, it must be “Islamophobic” video games and movies. Everyone knows that it couldn’t be the Qur’an’s teachings of warfare against and subjugation of unbelievers. Oh, no. And so of course the remedy must be the criminalization of “Islamophobic” speech, which, incidentally, would allow the jihad to advance unopposed.

“Iranian cleric: Ban ‘Islamophobic’ video games to stop radicalisation,” by Colin Freeman, Telegraph, April 7, 2015:

A senior Iranian cleric who acted as a peace broker over the Salman Rushdie affair has said that Britain should outlaw “Islamophobic” films and video games if it wants to prevent its Muslim youngsters becoming radicalised.

The warning has come from Ayatollah Salman Safavi, a long-time confidante of the regime, who conducted back channel talks between Britain and Iran in the wake of furore over Mr Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses in 1989….

In an interview with The Telegraph, Dr Safavi said that no young Muslim should try to join Isil, which he denounced as a “terrorist” organisation.

But he insisted that one of the motivations for those who did so was a sense of “discrimination’ in which films and video games were allowed to promote “Islamophobia”….

“In the Western media be it in films, games or news, Muslims and Islam are constantly associated with terrorism, violence and backwardness, they are constantly portrayed as the “other” to the white European or American and in constant conflict with it,” said Dr Safavi.

“This causes alienation and isolation particularly for young people, who dream of having success in life and being contributing members of society but see their way of life, their beliefs, and what they hold sacred being constantly attacked and degraded.

“Islamophobia in media be it films or games or news should be considered as promoting and aiding terrorism and also being hate crime.”…

    No. It isn’t the dirty kafirs that cause ‘radicalisation’ (actually jihadism…the doctrine that jihad is the duty of every Muslim).

    It is the ISLAMIC STUDY GROUPS that RAISE AWARENESS of jihad that cause ‘radicalisation’.

    Wherever there are ISLAMIC STUDY GROUPS, there will be jihadists.

      The whole “radicalization” meme should be thrown out by the Counter-Jihad. The meme itself is fundamentally flawed; it presumes there exist viably (distinct from existing speculatively) innumerable Muslims who are inert or, at best, have “not been activated yet”. This in turn presumes that there viably exist innumerable Muslims who are not yet… Islamic. The Counter-Jihad should not try to polish up this preposterous meme and then re-use it. The Counter-Jihad should toss it into the trash heap of failed memes.

    “Islamophobia” – is a made up term for self deception used by Islamic apologists.

    It isn’t tenable, plausible, or convincing once you really look at it. Using the term is merely a way to slander those who have legitimate concerns about implications and consequences of the teachings of Islam. It is a way to prevent legitimate criticism and debate about an important global problem.

    There is no honest person cognizant of the nature and practice of Islam who can seriously believe that having qualms about Islam cannot be rationally justified, and the Definition of ‘Islamophobia’ is circular, a violation of logic.

      Don’t forget #5!

      5 Suicide human bombs. The inbred retarded waste of Islam.

      And #6 and #7 and, at the bottom of the barrel, #8:

      6 The Islamic-style of lying to advance Islam, taqiyya and kitman, to deceive the infidels. Like Reza Aslan and the rest.

      7 The indifferent lumpen in-denial great mass of the moslem population who allows it all to happen thanks to their sloth and apathy.

      8 The delusional fascist-left who believes that Islam is the religion of a race that is a “minority” and, in their racist view of the world, therefore “deserves” to be protected and defended at all costs, no matter how preposterous and dangerous to the advanced peoples of the modern world. They are at the bottom of the chain. The water carrying lackeys to their moslem masters.

      That’s the full Islamic Chain of Command.

        You are right about including the whole cast of characters staring in Islam’s horror story.
        The lead actors try to steal all the credit from the supporting cast members but the Huff Post can always be counted on to offer flattery and support to those listed at the end credits of Islam’s latest terror sequel.

    Muslim cleric blames “radicalization” on “Islamophobia”
    ……………………….

    Just another slight variation on the ‘the cause of Jihad is resistance to Jihad’ canard—in this case the resistance is merely art (I use “art” here in the broad sense).

    More:

    The warning has come from Ayatollah Salman Safavi, a long-time confidante of the regime, who conducted back channel talks between Britain and Iran in the wake of furore over Mr Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses in 1989….
    ……………………….

    Gee—did “Islamophobic” video games cause the Iranian Fatwa, as well? I always thought the ghosts in PacMan looked kinda like the “Prophet”…sarc/off

    I wonder what the Ayatollah’s take on the Fatwa was? I can’t find any further information on it. Somehow I very much doubt he was a critic, though—which means he has been trying to crush free speech and any Western criticism of Islam for thirty-five years now…

    More:

    In an interview with The Telegraph, Dr Safavi said that no young Muslim should try to join Isil, which he denounced as a “terrorist” organisation.
    ……………………….

    The only reason this Ayatollah condemns ISIL is because they are Sunni Jihadists, rather than Shi’ites. Otherwise, he has no opposition to their Jihad.

    More:

    But he insisted that one of the motivations for those who did so was a sense of “discrimination’ in which films and video games were allowed to promote “Islamophobia”….

    “In the Western media be it in films, games or news, Muslims and Islam are constantly associated with terrorism, violence and backwardness, they are constantly portrayed as the “other” to the white European or American and in constant conflict with it,” said Dr Safavi.
    ……………………….

    The truth is that films and games rarely deal with Islam at all, and then usually in a pretty bowdlerized manner. But then, the Iranians were frothing at the mouth over “Argo”—and even “300”.

    More:

    “This causes alienation and isolation particularly for young people, who dream of having success in life and being contributing members of society but see their way of life, their beliefs, and what they hold sacred being constantly attacked and degraded.
    ……………………….

    The only “contribution” pious young Muslims want to make is to wage violent JIhad.

    And isn’t it odd that young Jews and Christians often face a certain amount of ridicule, yet they don’t wage bloody holy war? (Not really so odd at all, of course…)

    More:

    “Islamophobia in media be it films or games or news should be considered as promoting and aiding terrorism and also being hate crime.”…
    ……………………….

    In other words, the fine Ayatollah wants—just as with the death Fatwa against Rushdie—to crush our freedom of speech and to criminalize any criticism of Islam, including so much as noting how violent Islam is…

    As the murdering criminal says to the police officer, “Put you gun down and I won’t shoot you,”
    The rapist says to the young woman, “Don’t scream and I won’t hurt you.”

    So this guy says, “Don’t tell the truth about islam and we won’t wage war against you to force you to accept islam.”

    Oh, if only no one put any trust in his lying words. But, the worshipper of the beast of satan will be given credence even in the face of the truth that proves his words are lies.

    Video games did not write the Quran.

    Hey I got an idea that this guy will love. How about all video games with anything about Islam in them be forced to include all the quotes from the Quran on posters everywhere? That way players can learn about the Quranic basis for all the violence being committed by the game characters.

    However we mustn’t be misleading by quoting abrogated verses so:

    http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/List_of_Abrogations_in_the_Qur%27an

    But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. Qur’an 9:5

    I don’t see how anyone can “come to terms” with the backwardness of Islam and the backward stuff it causes. All Muslims can do if they aren’t interested in jihad is renounce Islam.

    Of course this is what Islamists say. ‘Islamophobia’ is used to deflect criticism from Islam. This is what ‘islamophobia’ watchdogs like Loon Watch engage in.

    Loon Watch claim to fight hate and ‘islamophobia’ but their veteran member DrM of drmaxtor.blogspot.com is notorious anti west, anti hindu anti-semite. Evidence of Dr Maxtor excusing Jihadism and promoting anti-semitism, anti-western, anti-hinduism all the while blaming Zionism for all the ills in Islamic societies https://disqus.com/by/1DrM

    DrM AKA DrMaxtor real name is Dr Rushdi Cader https://www.linkedin.com/pub/rushdi-cader/6a/a23/175 and he hides his real persona because he wouldn’t be able to teach law enforcement officers http://www.swattrauma.com/PRACTI-SEAL/About_Us.html

    He was deported from Israel where he had gone to make trouble under the
    guise of offering medical services http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2002/588/re5.htm

    Dr Rushdie Cader AKA Dr Maxtor AKA DrM is the founder of

    the Umma Clinic in California. http://www.ummaclinic.org

    which receives public funds. He is a UCLA graduate and he
    founded this Muslim

    clinic http://drmaxtor.blogspot.com/2006/10/ummah-community-clinic.html.

    Wikipedia page for Umma Clinic
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMMA_Community_Clinic

    He is a Muslim activist well known amongst American Muslims but he is careful to hide his hatred of the West under his real identity preferring to spew his bile anonymously as DrM at his own blog drmaxtor.blogspot.com Since 2007 DrM has been a heavy contributor to Loon Watch. This suggests that whomever owns Loon Watch (assuming it is not DrM) values him. Since joining Loon Watch DrM has not updated his own blog. He now posts regularly at Loon Watch. You can see his commenting history at Loon Watch by doing a simple google search or by looking at his posting history on Disqus https://disqus.com/by/1DrM/.

    DrM does not reveal his real life identity at Loon Watch or at his
    blog where he claims to write about medical issues and ‘muslim’ issues.

    The politically correct fascist have been covering up Muslim crimes in Europe for over 30 years.
    All Muslims have to do to stop islamaphobia is
    1, stop trying to kill non Muslims
    2, stop trying to destroy the european way of life and culture
    3, stop trying to impose you backward ways on us
    4, stop raping and abusing are children. This is the most important thing you have to stop.

      If they stopped doing all those things they would no longer qualify to be Muslims.
      Every Muslim is taught in their Mosques and Madrassas that the surest way to get a ticket to Allah´s whore house in the sky, is to rape, murder, burn, crucify, bury alive, behead and sexually assault little boys and girls.
      Fundamental Islam 101 as preached by Mohammed the rapist murderer.

    “This causes alienation and isolation particularly for young people”.
    Oh dear. What a shame.
    Those poor stressed young people will just have to go back to the Koran.
    “Muslims are merciful to each other but ruthless to the unbeliever”, 48:29;
    “an excellent pattern …. between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone”, 60:4;
    “If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him;” 3:85;
    There. That should put them at ease.
    The Koran is part of Islamic law: denying any verse is punished by killing, which can be carried out penalty-free by anyone, “since it is killing someone who deserves to die” (Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” o8.4).

    Islamophobia:

    The irrational fear of non_Muslims
    that Muslims will continue to, as they have been doing for the last fourteen hundred years
    and as directed in the Qur’an and Hadith continue to murder non-Muslims, plunder their possessions, destroy their churches, ashrams and synagogues, try to enslave as slaves nd sex slaves or prostitute their wives and daughters, try to conquer their lands, humiliate them, subjugate them and or force them to convert to Islam, all in the name of their false prophet and false god.

    There is, of course, only one cure to such Islamophobia:

    Permanently stop Muslim from continuing.

    It works well with no mosques, no madrassas, no Qur’ans, No Hadiths
    and best with no Muslims.

    Muslims in France are calling for the number of mosques to be doubled, they argue that it is the lack of mosques that is the cause of radicilisation.The answer is now very clear to me, a mosque in every street, surely then we will all get along just dandy with the now happy and contented Muslims. When i moved to my sleepy little village 4 years ago there was only 1 Muslim couple and their 2 children, now there seems to be more than a dozen, i hope we can convert our village church into a mosque before they start going all that angry way and foaming at the mouth.

          ”may i remind you that much of the muslims you are talking about come from European countries and england where we have a right of speech and choice which includes the right to chose to follow any religion”

          The point of origin of the muslims who are now infesting Europe and Britain is academic.

          What is important is the tenets of islam, which they follow. And those tenets enjoin them to either kill the rest of us, or force us to submit to their foul creed, or force us to live as dhimmis under the mohammedan boot. *That* is the only choice which islam offers to the non-muslims.

          Neither does islam offer any concept of the right to free speech; indeed, the OIC, and its bastard brother, the UN, has been trying for years to get any criticism of islam criminalised.

          You purport to come from the UK. If that is so, then you must be living in a cocoon, to have failed to realise that the ‘hate speech’ laws passed by blair and his labourites, mean that overt criticism of islam and its adherents can, and has been used to imprison/fine and otherwise marginalise and punish those who stand against islam. Meanwhile, under those same laws, the likes of anjem choudhary are free to pollute our streets with their foul diatribes against our soldiers, our institutions, and our culture.

          ” … so shall we ban it
          no because a religion may be perfect but its followers can never be as they will remain to be humans so dont blame a religion”.

          Few people here have advocated **banning** islam. Rather, we want everyone to know and be aware of, the islamic injunctions to terrorise and destroy Western culture, and everything we hold dear.

          A ‘religion may be perfect’ ? What witless nonsense is this ? Are you trying to assert that **islam** is ‘perfect’ ? Only if your values are totally twisted and degraded. Read the koran. Read the hadiths. Read the life of mohammed. Then you might actually have a hook on which to base your nonsense.

          ” … its followers can never be as they will remain to be humans so dont blame a religion”

          More witless nonsense. It is the **tenets** of a religion or an ideology that are important. Christians who were involved in the Inquisition, Christians ( not very many) who carry out atrocities, are **doing it against the tenets of Christianity**.

          muslims however, who are carrying out atrocities against non-muslims, **every day**, are doing it in **accordance with the tenets/injunctions of islam**.

          **That** should give you an inkling as to what islam is all about.

    Islam teaches the race is of no consequence yet Dr Safavi says: “Muslims and Islam are constantly associated with terrorism, violence and backwardness, they are constantly portrayed as the “other” to the WHITE European or American and in constant conflict with it”

    Mainstream Islam is grasping for anything to distance itself from facing the reality of its own doctrine and the true historical life of Muhammad – including claims of false racism.

    Islam is a relative of Sisyphus, pushing its agenda until finally the revulsion is so great that it is pushed back to again continue until it becomes intolerable.

    “Islam is a relative of Sisyphus, pushing its agenda until finally the revulsion is so great that it is pushed back to again continue until it becomes intolerable.”

    Interesting analogy of the Muslim’s mindset.

    Sisyphus: (Greek myth) a king of Corinth, punished in Hades for his misdeeds by eternally having to roll a heavy stone up a hill: every time he approached the top, the stone escaped his grasp and rolled to the bottom – Dictionary.com

    A Google search using this phrase ‘who coined the word islamophobia’ results in a varied amount of websited with their take about the “Islamophobic factor”. You’ll find this Jihad Watch posted article covering the same subject @:

    NT’s Ephesians 6:12 “For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the principalities and the ruling forces who are masters of the darkness in this world (hell), the spirits of evil in the heavens.”

    Westman may be into something that bears looking into, i.e. are we now fighting real life enemies or we in a ‘Spiritual Warefare’? If we are fighting real human beings; we will defend ourselves with the best weapons from the US armories or if we are fighting a transcendental entity enemy we certainly can use God’s weapon of choice, from His armory…..His Suit of Armor…. found in the NT’s Ephesians 6:10-18!

    Don’t knock it….if we don’t use the right weapon we will loose the battle. Wrong decisions through out the past centuries has cost many errors that has hurt many innocent victims inflicted by many needless war actions.

      Why do you seem to think it’s an either/ or?

      Why can’t it be *both*??

      What’s wrong with deploying *both* physical weaponry – wielded by infidel-state law enforcement and soldiers, in obedience to their god-given role to “restrain evil” – *and* spiritual warfare ( waged by faithful prayer-warriors, some of whom might *also* happen to be cops or soldiers) *at the same time*.

    In reality it’s the imams and mullahs who preach the violence and killing that is found taught in the Koran, as in ,for example,9:5,111. 47:4. that inspires the violent and deadly radicalization of Muslim youth. let lay the blame where it really belongs. Which is at the feet of the Islamic clerics and their militant Islam with its brutal and callous violence.

      Walter, allow me to disagree with you.

      Though misrepresented, misstated, and/or misreported as perversions of Islam by politicians, deceitful Muslims, and so-called “journalists”, this “radicalism” really consists—essentially–of the public actions and statements of true believers.

      And though you are correct about the involvement of clerics in brainwashing young Muslims, the process begins at home—I submit—with dad and his wives.

    “In the Western media be it in films, games or news, Muslims and Islam are constantly associated with terrorism, violence and backwardness, they are constantly portrayed as the “other” to the white European or American and in constant conflict with it,” said Dr Safavi.”

    They are constantly portrayed this way because they ARE this way; this kind of thinking makes me feel like I am in some kind of bizarro world, where up is down and and front is back, etc. I’ve never seen anything like it before – an entire group of people, consisting of millions and millions who just can not accept the truth about themselves and are just perpetually offended and demanding.

      make that “some” muslims as may i remind you
      ISLAM is PERFECT
      MUSLIMS are NOT
      and in real fact people fighting for ISIS are brainwashed and have become hypocrites and they dont follow the teachings of the holy prophet instead reinterpret a passage from the QURAN and give it as evidence to confuse vulnerable muslims living in the west who are always made to feel that they are a misfit in society and ISIS take advantage so no they are NOT MUSIMS. Also they pressurize moderate muslims and give them a bad name.
      ISLAM is a religion of PEACE. and ALLAH himself has declared that holy war is a lesser jihad and holy war may only be undertaken if ISLAM is at risk which i believe it is not and therefore ISIS ARE WRONG

    If any body doesn’t think we are facing a ‘Spiritual Warfare’ think again and take a good look at this website’s photo @: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

    Looking at this most incomprehensible non-staged photo I promise everybody will change their minds; mighty pronto, about what they think about the perpetrators! This most horrific scene unmasks the incorrect truth of the Islamic religion; one really messed up evil warfare religion! Subliminal video images has nothing to do with the Jihad’s mindset; theirs is an innate evil prone propensity!

    To Hell with this fabled Islamophobia factor!

    Really? So, people who are scared to go out in the bad areas of town after dark are the reason there is crime? Shovel your B.S. elsewhere, it’s not working on my lawn.

    Sisyphus: (Greek myth) a king of Corinth, punished in Hades for his misdeeds by eternally having to roll a heavy stone up a hill: every time he approached the top, the stone escaped his grasp and rolled to the bottom.

    Too bad the stone wouldn’t roll down and squash those who are pushing it. Problem solved…. metaphorically speaking.

    ‘Catmeat’ spokesturd Kaysar Trad parrots the same nonsense.

    Does this guy actually believe what is coming out of his mouth?

    First of all, who came up with the word “Islamophobia”? It’s more like disgust and loathing. Maybe we need a new word, something like “Islamination” or “Muslimosity”.

    Second, I don’t recall any “Islamophobia” before 9/11, and I don’t think there were any “Islamophobic” games or movies until after that, or very few anyway. Why would there be? No one was really thinking about Muslims. Oh, now I get it! They’re just misbehaving because they want attention, the little brats!

    Islam only thrives under repression, in fact it is repression. I looked at the muslim council of Britain’s website after the Paris murders, the site condemed the killings then in the next sentence called for an official end to free speech in Europe. We need to remember that speech is only a manifestation of thoughts and ideas – i’ts frightening that many mohammedans are striving to actually make Orwells1984 a reality in Britain and across the world.
