Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Time Magazine blames America’s crumbling infrastructure on “Islamophobia”

Mar 3, 2016 2:24 pm By Robert Spencer

It’s always fun to see Haroon Moghul, or “Dwayne,” as he styles himself for fear of “Islamophobia” at Starbucks, taking up the cudgels again, as his increasingly risible “Islamophobia” victimhood posturing has made him the clown prince of the “Islamophobia” propaganda industry: Dwayne is far funnier than, say, Dean Obeidallah, who actually calls himself a comedian but appears never to have said anything funny in his life. To be sure, Moghul is as vicious as other “Islamophobia” propagandists, despite his comic persona: he cheerfully traffics in defamation and dishonesty and routinely takes advantage of his audience’s ignorance about Islam to invert reality, portraying Muslims as victims of a cruel “Islamophobia” machine, instead of non-Muslims threatened by the global jihad.

And now we learn from the sage and stalwart Dwayne that “Islamophobia” is to blame for these factoids: “Your smartphone is more advanced than nearly every air-traffic control system. Our sewage pipes, bridges and highways are falling apart. The residents of Flint, Michigan, just found their water is the opposite of potable….You can blame Islamophobia for that.” What? Have dastardly “Islamophobes” infiltrated the air-traffic control system and the government of Flint, Michigan? Have these “Islamophobic” villains persuaded those who take care of our nation’s sewage pipes, bridges and highways that if they kept them in good repair, Muslims might use them?

No. Dwayne has a splendid comic touch, but he is not quite that good. What he means is that if we hadn’t spent all that money in Iraq and Afghanistan, we would have the money to shore up our infrastructure. And that is actually true. Osama bin Laden has stated that he carried out the 9/11 attacks in order to weaken America economically, and he succeeded in splendid fashion. Both the Iraq and Afghanistan incursions were disasters in every way. They were intended to create stable secular republics that would be beacons of freedom in the Islamic world; only someone who believed that Islam is religion of peace that is completely compatible with democracy could ever have thought that outcome would be achieved.

The problem, however, was how we responded to 9/11, not the fact that we responded at all. But Moghul is suggesting that the best response to the global jihad threat would be to ignore it: al-Qaeda, he says, was “a fringe terrorist movement with the support of the backwater Taliban” that Bush transformed into “an existential threat to Western civilization.” Never mind that the Taliban actually ruled Afghanistan at the time, and that al-Qaeda had a global network and had declared war against the United States. “Jeb Bush was one of the rare Republican candidates who wasn’t an anti-Muslim bigot, but he still described ISIS as an ‘existential threat.’ Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, maybe, and in any case, Jeb’s out. But I hardly think Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi can destroy the world’s most powerful nation.” Certainly not by means of a conventional war. But his plan is to overwhelm law enforcement and intelligence agencies with so many jihad attacks and plots that they collapse, and bring the whole system down with them. And in September 2014, the Islamic State issued a lengthy call to Muslims to murder non-Muslim civilians in the U.S. It says: “If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. Do not lack. Do not be contemptible. Let your slogan be, ‘May I not be saved if the cross worshipper and taghūt (ruler ruling by manmade laws) patron survives.’ If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car, or business. Or destroy his crops. If you are unable to do so, then spit in his face.” Yes, how “Islamophobic” of Jeb to see this group as an existential threat!

What’s more, as wrongheaded as Bush was about both Iraq and Afghanistan, he was responding to a jihad attack that took 3,000 lives. Haroon Moghul is characterizing that response as “Islamophobia.” Apparently he would have preferred we had surrendered outright.

More below.

“Islamophobia Is Ruining America—But Not How You Think,” by Haroon Moghul, Time, February 26, 2016:

…Each time I land at JFK, I am amazed. Shortly after you exit, the manicured lawns vanish, the smooth surfaces become potholed and cratered—New York begins. Heaven forbid you fly to LaGuardia, where there’s only a creaking bus service. It is almost impossible to go via mass transit between most of Brooklyn and Queens, which are over four million people. Many of the city’s rail tunnels still haven’t recovered from Hurricane Sandy, and nobody knows what’ll happen if there’s another big storm. The Second Avenue subway was conceived before we could conceive of a black President, and it’s still not done. This is America’s alpha city and, with London, one of the two most important. In the world. But New York isn’t an American outlier.

Your smartphone is more advanced than nearly every air-traffic control system. Our sewage pipes, bridges and highways are falling apart. The residents of Flint, Michigan, just found their water is the opposite of potable. We are still the world’s most powerful country, one of the most secure, and one of the most stable. But our country has been crumbling apart for years now, and we’ve done next to nothing about it.

You can blame Islamophobia for that.

Islamophobia is like racism not because Islam is a race, but because, for the Islamophobe, “Islam” plays the same role “race” did for racists. It’s all about broad, sweeping, malicious judgments. Has any other demographic had to suffer the indignity of being declared insufficiently loyal to be President, or hear proposals to be banned from the country? When Trump and Cruz argue over who will impose more war crimes, do you think they mean to waterboard Dylann Storm Roof, or kill his family members?

No one said that Muslims were “insufficiently loyal to be President.” Ben Carson noted that elements of Sharia contradict Constitutional freedoms, which is manifestly true, since Sharia denies the freedom of speech and equality of rights for women and non-Muslims. Carson pointed out that a Sharia-adherent Muslim would have troubled defending certain elements of the Constitution. That was true, and needs to be discussed. Instead, as Leftist commentators always do, Dwayne misrepresents the position of those he hates and fears and sets up a straw man.

There are a lot of explanations for where this hateful language comes from; a report for the Center for American Progress, Fear, Inc., outlined the deliberate and calculated inflammation of anti-Muslim sentiment on the right.

Yes, “anti-Muslim sentiment” comes from “Islamophobes.” Nobody would get a negative view of Islam from, say, Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki and Khaled Shaikh Mohammed and Muhammad Atta and Nidal Malik Hasan and Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Mohammed Abdulazeez and Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik and so very many others like them. Tell us another, Dwayne!

But Islamophobia was also the vehicle by which the Bush administration was able to sell its policies. Most Americans know very little about Islam. Most, as President Obama recently pointed out, don’t know a Muslim, or don’t know they know a Muslim. (Knowing a Muslim is the best inoculant against anti-Muslim bigotry.) Which is why the Bush administration could sell the Iraq war to a fearful and unknowing public.

So the Bush administration transformed a fringe terrorist movement with the support of the backwater Taliban into an existential threat to Western civilization, which, if true, demanded we respond accordingly. And that’s one of the major reasons why Americans could be persuaded to go to war with a country that didn’t attack us. So while I could tell you why anti-Muslim sentiment is bad for Muslims, maybe it’ll be more impactful if we consider why it’s bad for Americans generally.

The Iraq war, which was an easier sell given our tendency to conflate Arabs, Muslims and everything about the Middle East, cost the lives of thousands of American soldiers, and injured thousands more. By circumventing the U.N., we lost much of our moral capital, and created a precedent for aggression by regional powers worldwide. Hundreds of thousands Iraqis died, and many in the Muslim world still only see America through this lens. By focusing on Iraq, which rapidly spun out of control, we abandoned Afghanistan, where the Taliban are now resurgent there. If all this was not horrible enough, the Iraq war also led to the rise of ISIS, which has dragged us back in. Even if we wanted to walk away, we can’t; ISIS is far too dangerous for us to ignore.

Some three years ago, the Iraq war was estimated to have cost us $2 trillion dollars. Researchers have suggested that amount could rapidly increase over coming years, never mind the rise of ISIS and the deployment of American forces anew. As a comparison, free public college for all Americans would cost $70 billion a year. Not only is that much cheaper, but the latter is an investment that would pay dividends for years to come. The Iraq war didn’t make America safer and, if we’re really lucky, the war will be wound down and ISIS defeated and the region returns back to the status quo. And all the while, many other countries, like China, invested in their own economies. Even oil-rich Saudi Arabia has been making huge investments in energy, public transportation and green initiatives. You’d think, after a decade of this, that we would have caught on. Instead Islamophobia is still used to score cheap points, and avoid real problems….

    Just ask the colleagues of Major Hasan or the San Bernardino Shooters… Anyway, I wish the islamophobia-mongers would get their story straight. Moghul says that knowing a muslim is the best inoculant against “anti-muslim bigotry” while Wardah Khalid, a muslimah, complains about… muslims and people who know them:

    If I were to personally know, let’s say, Tawfik Hamid, and agreed with what he says about islam, would I be inoculated against “anti-muslim bigotry” or would I be a part of that same “bigotry”?

      I (unfortunately) had the opportunity, 20+ years ago, to know two Syrian Muslim brothers.

      Both were drug dealers (NOT HOW I KNEW THEM), and one was a sexual pervert in addition.

      One of the two tried to rip off one of the two (main) Colombian cocaine cartels of two or three kilos of cocaine. He got a few bullets between his left and right eyes just above his nose for the trouble.

      The other tried to get two ELEVEN OR TWELVE YEAR OLD GIRLS TO HAVE ORAL/GENITAL SEX WITH HIM. He offered them cocaine in return.

      He was sent to federal prison ( sentenced, I think-17 or so years) served a portion (like 8) then was deported -I was told to Saudi Arabia- . (One of his relatives had to vouch for him, post a sort of surety bond, etc).

      Amongst the worst pieces of animal excrement I have ever seen.

    phobia means UNNATURAL FEAR….but I believe its quite natural to fear or worry about someone attacking you with the goal of depriving you of your head. islam is just a stinky religion. its on par with foot fetishes except more deadly. believing the devil flies up your nose at night elevates this religion of the superstition category, not a religion. or black dogs are the devil even. western nations will and must come to the only logical conclusion. islam must be outlawed in western nations…muslims have over 20 nations where they are accepted for their beliefs, let them be happy with those and leave the rest of us alone..

    Time Magazine blames America’s crumbling infrastructure on “Islamophobia”
    ……………………….

    If only America failed to spend so much on security against Jihad terror then we could ensure that Muslims would have nice, shiny infrastructure to blow up.

    After all, who wants to blow up a train with tatty upholstery or an airport with faded paint on the runways?

      Too true! Matters of security come before all others. And now the barbarians are within the gate and they actually are blowing things up and shooting Americans up.

      The only reason there haven’t been more killings and bombs in America is because of the FBI and CIA. Homeland Security seems to be infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood.

      Thanks to them for doing such a superb job at finding the jihadists!

        Security *is* important, Mortimer. But it is also disgusting that we have to spend so much on security due to ravening Muslims. And for all we spend in time, talent, and money, Jihad terrorists still get through, as they did in San Bernardino.

        And things are worse in Europe.

        Got Muslims, got Jihad.

          Watching a Grandmother with Her grandchildren being accosted at an air port
          is intolerable…these un called for events are brought to us by Islam.

          We never imagined years ago that it would be like this…but here it is…did
          Our values cause this…did our retaliating against attacks that killed thousands
          of our people…in moments right in front of our eyes…cause this.

      perhaps we could convince the jihadists to do something worthwhile- like blowing up the airport in Qatar.

      And Qatari Airlines planes.

      The benefits could be immense.

      Bechtel or another major American construction firm could get the repair job to the airport.

      And Boeing and Airbus could sell more planes. A boon to employment.

      Qatar is (in my view) even more schizophrenic then S. A.

      They have (or had) some sort (not sure if full-with ambassadors, or at what level) relations with Israel, and also finance Hamas. (S. A,, at least, shares intelligence with Israel, but blacklists a firm -cargo airline-for having a plane overhauled in Israel).

    The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding is actually a Muslim Brotherhood front organization. They do want to influence policy, but it would be POLITICAL policy and they do want to influence ‘understanding’ but through distortion of the facts.

    If they were truthful, they would call their society the ‘Institute for Sharia Policy and Disinformation’.

    It never ceases to amaze me that religious baiters like this POS never look at the condition of Islamic states when castigating western cities or infrastructures. As a Brit but legal resident of the USA I feel I have a total right to slam problems I might see in the UK but until I’m a citizen of the USA (hopefully) I have no right to complain about the transport system or anything else over here. You make a choice and take the good with the bad and don’t complain

    Every Islamic state not awash with petro-dollars is a complete cess pit of disease, lack of proper medical care, food, housing and despair, and in many states, its civil war. Despite imperfections in the west, its still a much better place to live than these Islamic states and at least we have democracy to try and fix problems.

    We never seem to hear from the likes of Haroon Moghul just why millions of Muslims want to migrate to countries like the USA, Germany or the UK when according to “Dwayne” they are allegedly falling apart !

      Moghul is not after all doing any real ‘research’. He’s piecing together a bunch of facts to bolster a pre-determined hypothesis, rather than letting the facts speak their own truth.

      His stuff won’t be peer-reviewed because it’s pure Saudi-financed propaganda. He should be audited immediately.

    “Islamophobia is like racism not because Islam is a race, but because, for the Islamophobe, “Islam” plays the same role “race” did for racists.”

    Islamophobia is NOT at all like racism. There is no equivalency.

    Skin colour is an accident of birth, and furthermore skin colour provides no information as to what that person’s beliefs are.

    On the other hand, to be a follower if Islam is something a person may choose or not, and it is a clear statement of a person’s beliefs.

    Those who understand what Islam holds for non-believers fear it for good reason. Fear of Islam is not a “phobia”. It is clear from the Quran and other texts that Islam regards non-believers with contempt, at best and seeks to subdue, enslave, rape and kill them when it has the opportunity.

    These statements equating Islamophobia with racism must be challenged with vigor wherever they appear. To make such an equation robs the mantle from those who suffer unjustly from racism and sullies it.

    I imagine a mustachioed Saudi princeling with shimmering, flowing robes lying upon overstuffed cushions in a marble hall surrounded by female attendants in smart, tight uniforms.

    He sips thick coffee daintily from a tiny china cup and then he has an idea! ‘Write this down!’ he barks to one of his slender attendants. ‘Tell Haroon Moghul to do a press conference about how the Americans are spending no money on infrastructure because they hate Islam! Got that? OK, send it to him right away. I want the press conference by Thursday!’

    What a job, Haroon. Do you ever consider how many people in America can see your just a propaganda shill?

    No real research there, is there?

    They’re not necessarily promoting Islam as much as they are defending multiculturalism. Suggesting that one particular ideology is evil and dangerous ruins the mantra that all cultures are equal. If all cultures are equal, then any value or practice that someone wants to embrace is OK. The end result is the devaluation of Judeo-Christian values. What the multicultural promoters don’t realize is that the Muslims will pay them lip service and sponsor interfaith dialogues in order to break down and ultimately overwhelm Jews and Christians who are their principal critics.

    . “Has any other demographic had to suffer the indignity of being declared insufficiently loyal to be President, or hear proposals to be banned from the country?”
    Hmm yeah I believe so. If you look at the newspapers of the time editorials against the Irish were pretty widespread and job discrimination was blatant “NO IRISH NEED APPLY”.
    Discrimination against the Italians 30 years later was just as bad and don’t even get me started about the discrimination Black people suffered both before and after the civil war. We not only wanted to ban blacks from immigrating we wanted to send the freed blacks back to africa (see Liberia ) as early as 1822. these demographic groups as well as Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, and others just wanted a better life and to become American. The current muslim Hijra wants to make america muslim (just ask Robert–He can quot chapter and verse) and to suck on the welfare tit that Obama and the bought off congress has provided. (citizens united brought to us by the republicans has allowed every enemy we have to buy congresscritters with minor amounts of “campaign funds) Not just the republicans-how much campaign cash has Hilary gotten from the saudis?
    But back to Haroon–Yes many immigrant groups have been discriminated against as bad or much worse than what the ever tender feelings of the muslims have to endure. I’m not prejudiced against anyone that doesn’t want to destroy my freedom or my country and welcome christian refugees or yazidi or others of any color or nationality that is fleeing persecution and is in danger of their lives (funny how it seems to be muslim countries that are doing the persecuting) but why should I embrace people the follow a supremacist ideology that considers me and mine as dogs and cattle, and descended of apes and pigs and sees the women in my nation as “easy meat” available for their sexual pleasure by means of sex slavery or rape?

    The evil of Islam has been confirmed to me from an Imam, who, in tears, said that what “they” are doing is evil, referring to the other Imams at the mosque.

    When Muslims start crying everyone comes to their rescue.

    They have to frame concern about Islam as a western conspiracy – as it being linked to this long held ‘hatred’ of their ‘beautiful Islam’ – i.e. this being from the time Muslims had Europe under siege for centuries in the name of Islam?

    I think it is a conditioned fear that makes Muslims deathly afraid to challenge Islam – both historically and the present.

    Muslims can’t challenge Islam – so that everyone and everything outside of it becomes the subject of challenge.

    This is proven in that they have difficulties with all their neighbors. Muslims have problems with the Hindus [Pakistan India], the Buddhists [Southern Thailand], and Christians everywhere else.

    ::

    Islam has a problem

    While Muslims are afraid to go to hell – or be called non-Muslim [meaning one is deserving of death in Islam] – for questioning the use of its scriptures to wreak havoc on the modern world – when Muslims can’t say Islam has a problem – the rest of the world is expected to alter its position [way of life even] to deal with an irrational Islam.

    As they see it is – Islam has no problems – and rather all concern should be directed at all those who challenge any aspect of it.

    ::

    Multipronged attack on western society

    After the San Bernardino shooting – what are people told – they were to blame – that “Islamophobia” was to blame! [As an insult to injury of the families of the slain – who treated the jihadi couple with nothing but kindness.]

    Because the problem could never be the Islam – that was practiced inside the apartment of the terrorist killers. Rather we are told the problem lies in the need for western society to be more respectful of Islam.

    Its an imposition pure and simple.

And since you brought up the subject of intelligence, one of the reasons Muslims actually do pose that danger is because for many centuries they have married their first cousins, a practice which carries genetic risks such as inferior thought processes. In other words, their inbreeding has caused them to be too dumb to understand 21st century life and has prevented their progressing beyond the time of their Prophet (May pigs**t be on him.)

    And I guess our crumbling infrastructure is inferior to the superior ones of his favorite islamic hellholes.

    But, re: how the invasion of Iraw and Afghanistan was “intended to create stable secular republics that would be beacons of freedom in the Islamic world” – Iraq was already a stable secular republic and Saddam was a secular nationalist who was our ally. Bush didn’t just “make a mistake” invading Iraq, he deliberately punked the US economy in order to enrich him self and his closest military/industrial corporate friends.

    Rumsfeld’s net worth went up over 3,000 % during the Iraq war and occupation, while Joe Average barely saw a 3% raise – if he was lucky. And all because “He threatened my Daddy!” as Shrub put it.
