Robert Spencer in FrontPage: CAIR Markets ‘Islamophobin’ Gum As Cure For ‘Islamophobia’

May 28, 2016 3:29 pm By Robert Spencer

Easier than getting Muslims to stop jihad terrorism. My latest in FrontPage:

islamophobin

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has launched what World Bulletin characterized as a “satirical public awareness campaign to challenge growing Islamophobia in America.”

CAIR explains: “Prompted at least in part by anti-Muslim rhetoric employed by public figures like Donald Trump and other GOP candidates we decided to launch Islamophobin. With Islamophobin, we hope to dispel a serious problem with a witty and humorous manner. Buy and distribute Islamophobin to help us dispel Islamophobia.”

CAIR is congratulating itself on its “witty and humorous” idea, but it isn’t even original to the group. Back in July 2010, while speaking in Sweden, I was handed a box of “Islamofobil” pills that promised to cure “Islamophobia” and promote “multiculturalism” and “open-mindedness.” Is CAIR paying a royalty to the people who marketed “Islamofobil” pills?

Anyway, CAIR’s self-proclaimed “witty and humorous” new product claims to cure “Blind Intolerance,” “Unthinking Bigotry,” “Irrational Fear of Muslims,” and “U.S. Presidential Election Year Scapegoating.” It even promises that it “SPREADS LOVE.”

Aren’t there laws against making false claims for a product? But let’s take them at their word. “Islamophobin” gum cures “blind intolerance”? Wonderful! So if Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik had been chewing away on some “Islamophobin,” they wouldn’t have stormed a Christmas party in San Bernardino last December and murdered fourteen non-Muslims, right? If Islamic jihadists had had some “Islamophobin” gum in November, they wouldn’t have murdered 130 people in Paris, eh? And apparently if they had had some of this miracle love-spreading gum in Brussels last March, they wouldn’t have murdered 32 people and wounded over 300 in bombings at the airport and the metro station.

This wondrous gum also cures “unthinking bigotry.” So if it could be distributed widely in Pakistan, it would prevent Christians from being victimized by blasphemy charges, for “crimes” such as trying to protect Christian girls from Muslim bullies. If it were available in Egypt, it would keep Muslim mobs from stripping old Christian women naked and parading them through villages.

But of course I am getting carried away. This new wonder drug wouldn’t do any of those things. It’s “Islamophobin,” not “Christianophobin” or “Jihadophobin”: it is meant to combat “irrational fear of Muslims,” not “irrational persecution of Christians” or “jihad mass murder.” Hamas-linked CAIR has always been far more concerned about stamping out “Islamophobia,” that is, any investigation into how Islamic jihadists use Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism, than about combating jihad terror, which has never been on their priority list at all.

In the Hamas-linked CAIR video, the non-Muslim has an “irrational fear of Muslims” because he envisions his neighbor as a sword-wielding jihadi screaming “Allahu akbar” while striking impotently at the shrubbery — a cynical trivialization of the numerous beheadings and other murders we have seen committed by Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar.” Anyway, after he takes some “Islamophobin,” the “Islamophobe” is able to see his Muslim neighbor for what he is: an ordinary, harmless, even cuddly guy. The point is that if you have a Muslim neighbor and regard him with suspicion, you’re an irrational, intolerant bigot. What would the neighbors of Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, and Jah’Keem Yisrael, and Ibrahim Simpson, and Mohammed Abdulazeez, and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and Nidal Malik Hasan and all the many jihad plotters caught in the U.S. before they could commit mass murder for Islam think about that?

If CAIR honestly wanted to combat “irrational fear of Muslims,” it would confront, seriously and publicly, the real reasons why people have any fear of Muslims at all: not because of “intolerance” and “bigotry,” but because of jihad terror attacks perpetrated by Muslims who justify their actions by referring to the Qur’an and Sunnah.

This “Islamophobin” gum is just another salvo in CAIR’s years-long project of conflating legitimate concern about and opposition to jihad terror and Islamic supremacism with hatred and bigotry. There is no opposition to terrorism that speaks honestly about its motives and goals that CAIR finds acceptable: anyone and everyone who dares to note how Islamic jihadists use Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims is vilified as a “bigot.” The obvious goal is to discredit and marginalize all foes of jihad terror, so that no one else dares speak out against it, and it can advance unimpeded and unopposed.

But as the West inches ever closer to subjugation and slavery, at least Infidels have something to chew on.

    Regular readers at JW might recall that on Thursday, I promised to give you a pushback plan against this stupid Islamophobia gum crap, and how the huge backfire about it will have CAIR’s cretinous slimebuckets regretting their idea..

    I am holding off on that until next week because part of the strategy would be weakened if it started over this long holiday weekend.

    But look for it “soon” — which will give all those traitors plenty of time to pop in here every day, at least 12 hours per 24 hour cycle, BECAUSE THEY OBSESSIVELY SCAN ALL OF ROBERT’S POSTS, intensely envious of his relentless courage and the respect we deservedly have for his work. .

      I forgot something important. Here is the path to CAIR’s video ad for the gum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s57kPS_gjM

      The comments option has, of course, been disabled because they know how much truth regarding Islam’s pathology would be put there. BUT THE “DISLIKE” THUMBS DOWN BUTTON STILL WORKS AS OF THIS MINUTE — 4:08 EASTERN U.S.A. .

      So get going with your thumbs down, and tell your family and friends to jump in also. The tally us currently 1,296 UP and 1,055 DOWN. Let’s try to tip the balance in our favor !

    This publicity stunt–with the gum–isn’t funny to me! I see this gimmick as another smoke ‘n mirrors campaign attempting to mock those whom speak the unvarnished Truth about islam & company.

      Hello Champ —– Be of good cheer, my friend !

      I solemnly promise that publicity stunt will shred the shrunken balls of whoever in CAIR still has any, with the approximate equivalence of IEDs prematurely going off on the motorcycles of Allah’s Taliban fan club.

      Yes, because they don’t have any facts or logic to defend Islamic vigilante murders or to denounce them, since they are normative Islam and part of jihad.

      This is ‘false advertising’. It is sad, rather than funny.

      CAIR’s only role is to stop criticism of normative, canonical Islam and those who correctly implement it through terrorism.

    Femmo-phobin gum
    Cures fears of women who drive cars and look men in the eye.

    Also curbs perverse fantasies of marrying still sexually ambiguous pre-pubescent girls.

    If that gum is made by muslims for non-muslims and in accordance with sharia law, expect to see a mysterious increase in salmonela and e. coli poisonings…

    When Muslims imagine they are experiencing the symptoms of ‘Islamophobia’ they consult their ulama and take Jihadital. Jihadital, when the dirty kuffar needs to be shown that Islam is to dominate and never be dominated.

    Is there a pill that Muslims can take so they will stop VIGILANTE MURDERS?

    Vigilante murder is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. Vigilante murder of apostates is authenticated by the fatwa department of Al Azhar University, Islam’s top Sharia authority since it is texts supporting it are found in the hadiths and Koran.

    Bukhari (84:64-65) – “Allah’s Apostle: ‘During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.’”

    Sharia law: The “Bill of Legal Punishments” says (p.12), “A person guilty of apostasy (man or woman) shall be put to death if repentance is not made within the period allowed which shall not exceed sixty days. Repentance of a person who commits apostasy more than twice shall not be accepted.”

    In 1992, Islamist militants gunned down Egyptian secularist Farag Foda. Before his death, he had been declared an apostate and enemy of Islam. During the trial of the murderers, Al Azhar scholar Muhammad al-Ghazali testified that when the state fails to punish apostates, somebody else has to do it.

    No doctrine in Islam depends on a single Koranic verse, but on the Koran, hadiths, Sira and canonical rulings. What is ‘normative Islam’ is decided by the fatwa department at Al Azhar University, not by private opinion. In the 1992 murder of apostate Farag Foda, Al Azhar’s scholars argued that when the state fails to punish apostates, “somebody else has to do it.”

    So this is CAIR’s response to JIHAD murder and mayhem–GUM. It’s hard to think of anything more insulting to the victims than this callous humor. Go offer a piece to some victim’s family and see if it works. We’ll see if they become less concerned, less suspicious of the ideology that teaches the violence that caused the death of their loved one(s). Seriously, these are the actions of a demented serial killer, someone who kills and then mocks the victims or their families. People like this are generally seen as the worst kind of human being, and yet this comes from islam’s main advocacy group in our nation: CAIR. Off all things for them to say or do, they trivialize grave humanitarian issues with mocking humor. And this is a group that garners respect from our politicians as a civil rights organization. HA! Islam is the antithesis of civil rights, it devours human rights as a doctrinal quest!

    It’s acts like this that remove all doubts in my rational mind, we are dealing with people who have no scruples or concern for the rights and feelings of others. It’s all about islam to them, the rest of us are sheep to slaughter. I want neither these people or their religion in my nation. They are all part of the same problem that wants to enslave or kill me.
