Islamic jihadists murdered 130 people in Paris in November. Islamic jihadists murdered 14 people in San Bernardino in December. Islamic jihadists have vowed to commit mass murder on an unimaginable scale in the United States. The New York Times has never run a piece about the ideology that motivated those attacks and threats, and so many others like them. Instead, they try to make something of the spurious propaganda term “Islamophobia.” This is nothing new, of course: if Walter Duranty were alive today, he would wholeheartedly approve.
“NYT Desperately Scours the Land for Islamophobia, Finds It in Tossed Beer Cans,” by Clay Waters, Newsbusters, February 17, 2016:
Desperately hyping up any instances of alleged “Islamophobia” it can find, the New York Times on Wednesday covered tensions between students living in a high-rise at the University of Arizona, and the members of an adjacent mosque. More proof that the Times is hypersensitive to at least one religion’s complaints of discrimination.
There’s not much newworthy going on in the story — the worse bit of “Islamophobia” the NYT uncovered was a single instance of a regrettable, sophomoric insult (from someone who may have infact [sic] been a sophomore) yelled from a passing car. But reporter Fernanda Santos managed to spin it into the lead story of Wednesday’s National section: “University of Arizona Students Hurl Insults, and Litter, at Mosque in Tucson.”
Rania Kanawati, a Syrian immigrant, was walking to her car after Friday Prayer last month at the Islamic Center of Tucson when a beer can landed right behind her, then another one fell by her side.
On another night at the mosque, Ahmed Meiloud, a Ph.D. candidate from Mauritania who is the Islamic Center’s president, was leaving the building when someone yelled from a passing car, “Terrorist, go back to where you came from!”
The diverse congregation of the Islamic Center — a squat copper-domed complex just outside the University of Arizona’s campus — has endured taunts and vandalism ever since hundreds of students moved into two private high-rise apartments next door three years ago. In at least one instance, a shower of crushed peanuts rained down on the mosque; more typically, cans and bottles are flung from apartment balconies, usually on the party nights of Friday and Saturday.

Ellie says
Let’s see…..We have colleges around the country taking big money from the Saudis and other Islamic groups. That couldn’t influence them, I’m sure. We are not going to ignore the rampant Islamization program our government and educational institutions are conducting! We will not ignore Islamic violence toward non Muslims either!
David says
Islamophobia? I think it’s actualy Satan-O-Phobia. The natural, inbreed fear of those who chose to worship SATAN!
I have read all the source documents. I have studied all the early writings. To anyone with a working BRAIN, the fingerprints of “Old Scratch” are as clear to see as florescent paint!
Scholars have for centurys referred to this “religion” for what it really is:Satans Grand Deception! A fake. A counterfeit!
I for one, have never been fooled!
Skooby Doo says
Working brain here, I’ve come to the same conclusion and also that there is no such thing as radical…it’s just muslims. If the speed limit is 70 mph it’s not radical to drive 70 mph.
Hope says
You are so right. Satan saw Mohammed coming a mile away and said to himself, “Bingo! Here’s a winner.” Only Satan could have delivered a message so evil and violent as the one purported to be from “Allah.”
Annak says
Satan was upset as Christianity was so successful, so after despairing for 600 years tries to reproduce his own son to counter and oppose Jesus? The best he could come up with was …… Muhammad…… I suppose…..
Lia Wissing says
Muslims, following their qur’an, believe allah is the ‘best of deceivers’: it never seems to dawn on them that he’s deceiving them too, en masse.

Spot on. Let’s find a way to get rid of this deadly disease called Islam before the whole world finds itself in hell.

My friend has a synagogue on about 1 1/4 acres of land. Behind the building is a big yard, for children. Behind that- a fence and an apartment complex. Every couple of days, there are empty beer cans near the fence- obviously thrown form balconies in the apartment complex. (HOWEVER, NEVER THROWN ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY OR JEWISH HOLIDAYS–GO FIGURE).
Is that an anti-Semitic crime? (easier to pick up the empty beer cans, and throw them in the trash- then the hassle of complaining and filing a police complaint- not knowing against who).
(And, there has never been vandalism.)
Just some slobs.
Where I used to live, in a different part of Florida, often found empty beer cans in my front yard.
So?
Just threw them out. My car was often left unlocked-never touched; never robbed; never vandalzied.
Just slobs.
Why the big deal?
Next, the NY Traitors, I mean Times, will take a stand for illegal immigration-so long as it is not Jews trying to get in.
Adrian says
yes, Robert, “Walter Duranty”- style reporting indeed!
NYT reporter Durante infamously and purposely lied about any Soviet-made famine against Ukraine that killed millions in the 1930s… then received Pulitzer Prize, which has never been rescinded.
Durante knew very well, but chose to lie because he PERSONALLY lobbied with FDR to finally recognize the USSR and thereby assure a Pulitzer for himself. (His famous quote: “You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs”) This was a critical time for the Soviet Union at the tail end of the 5 Year Plan which included countless deaths from slave labor when building the misguided White Sea Canal…
The scary thing is the NYT and other media have not learned anything from that shameful episode in their past – so some crushed peanuts and beer cans become evidence of wide-spread Islamophobia…
But the Islamist deconstructionist brain-washing campaign is proceeding on many fronts… witness this video by Dr. Ali Mattu who produced this video about the “bias that leads to the Dangerous Logic of Islamophobia”…
http://mashable.com/2016/02/10/muslim-american-islamophobia#qecWMN5h5kqn
and this Mr. Rogers/Sesame Street trendy guy and is canvasing support for votes to become President of the APA (American Psychological Association) !
welcome, brave new world!!!!
gravenimage says
Yes–Jihad Watch’s Hugh Fitzgerald refers to the NYT as the “New Duranty Times” for that very reason.
billybob says
You gotta include the video where Dr. Mattu gives his platform in his bid to be president of the APA, a role in which he hopes to have influence on government policy. There are some interesting comments there about how he explains away Islamophobia as a psychological aberration.
billybob says
Go to the YouTube page. I didn’t mean for it to embed the video here.
miriamrove says
when a beer can or two are thrown at Muslims or their co called places of worship(Jihad training and recruiting to be exact) it makes head lines in major outlets like NYT. But when innocent people are murdered in CA, that too makes the head lines except they white wash it. All Muslims are not terrorists which is very true, but what they do not mention is that all terrorist are Muslims. M

Empty beer cans at that, because no college kid is going to waste a full can of beer by throwing it at some baghead.

Do you really think Muslims will not fight for Islamic supremacism if they are conscripted?
Do you really think Muslims will resist the caliphate?
Do you really think Muslims will resist the imposition of strict Sharia law, beheadings, stonings, defenestrations?
Do you really think Muslims will resist extreme misogyny when it is imposed?
Do you really think Muslims will hide their non-Muslim neighbors when the persecutions begin?
Do you really think Muslims will resist Islamic supremacism in any way at all when it arrives?
Where is the Muslim country that has full freedom?
Where is the Muslim country that has full democracy?
Islam is JUST LIKE fascism…Islam is theocratic fascism.

They will paint the letter ‘N’ [ن] onto the doors of Christians, and those suspected to be. N stands for Nazarene, Muslim derogative for Christian.

On a vacation in Hawaii, I recall folks had to be careful when walking below some hotels as kids/teens had discovered the complimentary macadamia nuts and were tossing them from high above onto the pedestrians below. I wasn’t hit, but I imagine a large nut from 20 flights up might sting a bit…or a lot.
Now, when I see a macadamia nut, I recall that scene. I still get shivers…
I call it Macadamiaphobia.

How anybody can trust what the NYT says is beyond belief.
Angemon says
Sounds like obnoxious frat-boys acting like obnoxious frat-boys. How to make a clickbait news article out of that? The same way the left-aligned media does about everything else: focus on one specific group of victims who have a common denominator (in this case, religion, but it would work equally as well with sex, race or sexual orientation) and claim that common denominator is what’s driving their “abusers”.
In all of the US of A, how many obnoxious frat-boys are rude to their neighbours? I’d like Miss Fernanda Santos to do some research and come up with some numbers.
Shmooviyet says
If this report is true, she should consider herself fortunate no one was having a certain ‘contest’ while she was passing underneath.
Dirk says
“Rania Kanawati, a Syrian immigrant, was walking to her car…” A muslim woman driving a car? Is the irony lost on her and others that the USA gives her rights and freedoms that would get her horribly murdered in muslim countries? However, she needs to enjoy these rights and freedoms while she can, for when the muslim demographics eventually overwhelm the indigenous Christians, and sharia is imposed, her rights as a free and empowered woman end abruptly.

AKA, every weekend at almost every US university everywhere. Please quit appropriating western culture by attending university. Become a hafiz in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan and seek glorious martyrdom and paradise in the shade of swords by blowing yourselves up in Syria.

Why are they trying to reduce our concerns for the safety of ourselves and others?
Isnt this a good thing?
I dont want to see people die over Islamic nonsense.
Yet daily you can see children beheading grown men.
I think we have a right to be concerned.
My kids mean too much to me as do yours.
Beagle says
Part of the answer is that the Left and academia, but I repeat myself, and thus establishment media like the NYT, have constructed an edifice of lies regarding Islam. Islam is construed as an eternal victim of western aggression, ignoring centuries of Islamic imperialism, colonialism, aggression, theocracy and slavery. Islamic theology is mostly ignored or fantasy based in order to diminish the West and Christianity. They’ve built an imaginary history and moderate Islam which they will never relinquish. This allows them to focus on the ‘real’ threat: their peaceful domestic political opponents who they cast as IS or the Taliban. But, oddly, the Left appeases the real jihadists and save their vitriol for the made up domestic version.

Notice that even these weak examples of “Islamophobia” are just reports by Muslims themselves–who have, in fact, notoriously faked “hate crimes” before:
“Three fake ‘Islamophobic hate crimes’ the media ran with”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/08/three-fake-islamophobic-hate-crimes-the-media-ran-with
As noted, though, even if these reports *are* honest, the idea that stereotyping or having drunk college students chucking beer cans at someone is somehow worse than mass murder is simply madness.
By the way, when I was in college I once had drunk frat boys chuck beer cans at me from a car when I was walking back to my co op late at night. I found it stupid and annoying, but I did not consider it a “hate crime”.
Anne Smith says
When jihadists flew three planes into NY buildings killing over 3,000 people was that not a “hate” crime. Seems to me most people have forgotten about it.
Miki says
The ridiculousness of ‘islamophobia” is reaching new heights :)))) http://www.theguardian.com/education/2016/feb/18/anti-racism-campaigner-stopped-speaking-nus-islamophobia-claims
“Never mind all the work Hope Not Hate has done challenging anti-Muslim hatred, it seems that some activists believe I’m Islamophobic because I have repeatedly spoken out against grooming and dared condemn Islamist extremism.”

I’ve come across several abandoned beer cans in my life. And for this I spend 5 afternoons a week in electro-shock therapy.

Isn’t that NYTimes is called Duranty Times after the lying reporter from Soviet Union in 1930’s spouting Soviet propaganda when Ukrainians were dying from famine and hunger. Duranty tradition continues at NYTimes and they definitely make him proud – he might be turning in his graving wanting to come back and help propagate Islamic lies!!

Most Muslims drink beer and love it. They usually don’t drink as much during Ramadan.
However, the ‘abuse’ here was to throw empties at them when they had asked for full ones.
C’mon guys!
Dan Jones says
Yea, don’t blame the followers of the pedophile mo-ham-is-mad for killing anyone because we all know they are SUCH peace loving people… yet why haven’t the moderate Muslim’s spoke out against all this violence??? Oh yea, they would be considered heretics and then beheaded…

Vile, nefarious CAIR says: “We can’t ignore the backdrop against which this is happening, with all the hate crimes against Muslims, all over the place,”
The actual backdrop is the global jihad against non-Muslims, including 130 dead in Paris, and 14 murdered in California. But vile, despicable CAIR never acknlowledges this, so its credibility will remain at zero with people who think and see clearly.

Just about every major campus and many small community college campuses have MSA [Muslim Students Association] chapters. The MSA was the first affiliate set up by the Muslim Brotherhood when they began their termite infestation of this country.

Muslims frequently put mosques in residential neighborhoods where they then proceed to drive out the homeowners through boorish behavior such as “parking jihad.” As the quality of life in the neighborhood diminishes, so do property values around the mosque, allowing muslims to buy up the property at substantially discounted prices and claim more and more infidel lands for Dar al Islam.
I think building college student apartments (also not a preferred neighbor for homeowners) is the perfect complement to the presence of a mosque in the neighborhood. They can all be loud and obnoxious to each other.
