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

“Islamophobia” propagandists in desperate damage control mode after fake hate crime exposed

Dec 16, 2016 9:16 am By Robert Spencer

“According to Levin, hoaxes do crop up in hate crime reporting, as they do across the spectrum of criminal offenses. But he said they are a ‘tiny fraction’ of the hundreds of hate crimes reported annually.”

A “tiny fraction”? Really? What is his evidence for that? He has none, of course. In reality, anti-Muslim hate crimes that turn out to have been faked by Muslims are so numerous as to be commonplace.

Hate crimes are political capital. When real ones don’t exist, they must be invented. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. A New Jersey Muslim was found guilty of murder that he tried to portray as an “Islamophobic” attack, and in 2014 in California, a Muslim was found guilty of killing his wife, after first blaming her murder on “Islamophobia.”

This kind of thing happens quite frequently. The New York Daily News reported that “a woman who told cops she was called a terrorist and slashed on her cheek in lower Manhattan on Thursday later admitted she made up the story, police said early Friday. The woman, who wore a headscarf, told authorities a blade-wielding wacko sliced open her face as she left a Manhattan cosmetology school, police sources said.”

We were told that a Muslim boy was attacked and beat up on his school bus in North Carolina — but a photo showed him without a scratch and no one on the bus corroborated his story. And recently in Britain, the murder of a popular imam was spread far and wide as another “Islamophobic hate crime” – until his killer also was found to be a Muslim. The Mirror reported that the imam “was targeted because he had made efforts to turn youngsters away from radical Islam.”

According to The Detroit News, a Muslim woman, Saida Chatti, was “charged with making a false police report after she allegedly fabricated a plot to blow up Dearborn Fordson High School to retaliate against the November terrorist attacks in Paris….Police say Chatti called Dearborn investigators Nov. 19, six days after Islamic extremists killed 130 people in Paris.”

And similarly in Britain, a Muslim woman was “fined for lying to police about being attacked for wearing a hijab. The 18-year-old student, known only as Miss Choudhury, said she was violently shoved from behind and punched in the face by a man in Birmingham city centre 10 days after the atrocities in the French capital on November 13.”

Ignoring all this and more, the execrable thug Nathan Lean, who has several times published on Twitter what he thought was my address in an obvious clumsy attempt to alert jihadis to my whereabouts and/or frighten me into silence, posits: “The reason this girl made up this story is because of the real possibility of her experiencing a scenario like this.” No, the reason this girl made up this story was because she was afraid of her father’s wrath over her being out late and having a non-Muslim boyfriend. The real danger that Yasmin Seweid is in because of her family’s devout observance of Islam is the only genuine way that she has been threatened — but you will never hear about that from the likes of Nathan Lean or other “Islamophobia” propagandists. If her father kills her for sullying the family’s honor by straying from the tenets of Islam, they won’t say a word. But if her father puts on a Trump hat and then kills her — well!

“Not #FakeNews: Experts Warn One Hoax Doesn’t Discredit Wave Of Hate Crimes,” by Allegra Kirkland, TPM, December 15, 2016:

The New York Police Department on Wednesday charged a Muslim teenager whose story about being harassed on the subway by a group of Donald Trump supporters had gone viral with filing a false report. The backlash was swift.

“#FakeNews: Media Hyperventilates Over Another Anti-Muslim Hate Crime Hoax,” read one headline on NewsBusters that claimed these kinds of stories “are nearly always proved to be hoaxes.”

Other websites and conservative commentators also targeted the media for spreading 18-year-old Yasmin Seweid’s account of three white men calling her a “terrorist” and trying to pull off her hijab on a 6 train as other riders stood by.

“Muslim Teen Arrested After Media Hyped Her Fake Anti-Trump ‘Hate Crime Hoax’ Story,” was the headline at Biz Pac Review, while Heat Street published a piece titled “What Yasmin Seweid’s Pretty Little Lies Reveal About ‘Fake News’ Media Hypocrisy.” Anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller patted herself on the back for predicting that the story was made up all along….

Yet hate crimes experts say Seweid’s fabrication is the exception, not the rule. Such rare “hoax” crimes bely the real rise of hate crimes in the United States, bolstering the narratives of those who believe Islamopohobia is an overblown issue or that bias crimes are the stuff of liberal fantasy.According to FBI statistics released in November, 2015 was the worst year for anti-Muslim hate crimes since 2001, when the terror attacks on the World Trade Center fueled a surge of Islamophobic incidents. Those crimes continued into this election year. The NYPD reported 375 hate crime complaints to date in 2016, compared to 282 incidents in 2015; the number of anti-Muslim incidents reported in 2016 rose to 33, up from 19 reports in 2015.

Yet even the hard numbers are fodder for disputing the rise in hate crimes in the U.S.

“I’m a criminologist and people have accused my reports of being biased when I’m using official law enforcement criteria or actual law enforcement data,” Brian Levin, the director for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, told TPM in a Thursday interview. “There’s something politically going on now that is different. These hoaxes have become symbols for some who want to promote the idea that most hate crimes are hoaxes. That’s important to rectify.”

According to Levin, hoaxes do crop up in hate crime reporting, as they do across the spectrum of criminal offenses. But he said they are a “tiny fraction” of the hundreds of hate crimes reported annually….

Yet those experts they say there is a reason why stories like Seweid’s resonate so deeply: the spate of legitimate bias crimes and attacks we’ve seen on the news and read about for months, many of which were caught on camera.

Nathan Lean, director of research for the Islamophobia project at Georgetown University’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, posited that Seweid used this particular excuse for coming home late because she knew the story would be “believable.”

“The reason this girl made up this story is because of the real possibility of her experiencing a scenario like this,” he said pointing to the “visibility” of Muslim women who wear hijabs.

“That doesn’t legitimate what she did,” he continued. “But if we were living in a climate where anti-Muslim sentiment wasn’t so intense and there hadn’t been a spike in hate crimes, her story would not have been received with the same credibility.”…

    ” the number of anti-Muslim incidents reported in 2016 rose to 33, up from 19 reports in 2015.”

    So that still would make the risk of a muslim being targeted in a “hate crime” about as likely as being struck by lightning. A remarkably small chance.

        And that would be true even if so many of these were not hoaxes.

        Also, “hate crimes” covers a lot of ground–a lot of Muslim claims involve such matters as cat-calling and things like someone draping bacon over a Mosque door-knob. These things qualify more as annoyances than actual hate crimes.

      New York City has a total population of-I would guess- 5 million or more; plus perhaps another million or so during weekday working hours; and THIRTY FIVE REPORTED HATE CRIMES?

      That number is insignificant- ( statistically/inestimable ) and, again, of those 35- how many were real?

      I read the 35 from being in NYC as from the NYPD

        There were 154 reported anti-Muslim “hate crimes” in the US in 2014–and that includes the ones that later turned out to be hoaxes. This is with a population of 350 million.

        Carolyne, that might depend. Do you go to a Harrah’s and gamble?

        If not ( like I will not win the lottery- as I never buy tickets) then you will not hit the jackpot. if you do gamble there, MAYBE, ( but highly unlikely) you might win some money.

      In another JW post, I pointed out the fallacy of using statistics and per-percentages.

      If ( for example only) year one, there were 3 hate crimes against group A, and in
      ear 2– there are 5

      THAT IS A 66% INCREASE.

      Now, take another group (Call it group B). In year one, there were 60 hate crimes .

      Year 2, there are 40. That is a 33% PERCENT DECLINE. (OR, ONE CAN REALLY PLAY WITH NUMBERS, AND SAY 50% DECLINE- BUT THAT IS AN EXAGGERATION).

      Now, without looking at the numbers, one can honestly? when are politicians or the media ever honest?) that Group A had a 66% increase while group B had a 33% decline.

      But, group B STILL HAD EIGHT (8) TIMES MORE HATE CRIMES. AGAINST THEM.

    Let’s correct this intentional misdirection:

    “Islamophobia” is an invented term, with no place in reality.

    A phobia is an unreasoning fear, without basis in real life. Islam is a religious/ political system bent on the subjugation or eradication of every person who refuses to bow the knee to their corrupt and false god.

    Islam bears special hatred for women, children, Jews, and Christians, and Allah condones and even promotes tactics such as lies, deception, rape, pedophilia, murder, torture, rebellion, rage, hatred for other Muslims, and all manner of corrupt and evil practices, in the pursuit of his unholy war (Jihad).

    Muslims pursue Jihad through politcal, cultural, sexual, and violent means, and no true practicing Muslim has the freedom from Allah to reject Jihad. If they do, they are considered to be apostates, worthy of death.

    We see the worldwide culture being assaulted daily in the four areas listed above, with the goal of forcing Sharia on unwilling populaces. These are genuine threats to our security and safety, and as such, the term phobia doesn’t apply. It’s not a phobia, when the person you may fear genuinely wants to kill you.

    So, when you hear someone use the term Islamophobia, know that they are either a liar in pursuit of Jihad, or are acting in a Dhimmi role (a non-Muslim who has still chosen to defend Islam and often unwittingly to promote the Jihad of Allah). In either case, the use of that false and fictional term disqualifies them from being taken seriously at all.

    There IS NO peaceful version of genuine Islam on the planet.

        Heidi, her father either shaved her head or forced her to do it because she was out late and had been dating a Christian. This aspect of the case is covered in other stories at Jihad Watch.

        She reported this fake story to begin with out of fear of her having violated the curfew set by her harsh Islamic father.

        There are fears that she is at risk for violence or even “Honor Killing”.

    A story currently making the news big-time over here in the UK concerns a twenty- or thirty-something muslima (always pictured in her extravagant headgear) who won a BBC TV cookery contest called ‘The Great Bake-off’ (or something like that) a year or two ago, since which time they’ve made her into some sort of national herione. Recently a man in a train apparently wasn’t too polite towards her, and told her that ‘he didn’t want to sit next to a muslim’. (Shock! Horror!). The press reports then continue to quote her complaining about what horrible things happen to her, people saying nasty things to her or giving her a little push and other such heinous criminal offences – assuming, that is, these all occurred as suggested, or maybe there’s been a touch of exxaggeration? She is then reported as declaring stoically that she has learned to tolerate her burden, and she is proud to be British, and this is her country…..(I must reach for a handkerchief or something – the fragrance of burning martyr is too over-powering!).

    However…….I seem to recall that at least 1,400 girls in the northern city of Rotherham, plus many thousands of others elsewhere around the UK had rather more to cope with than impolite words on trains etc.from ‘gentlemen’ from our herione’s camp. Yet I have hardly seen mention of more than a couple of them in the press, and certainly not with the same blanket coverage as our valiant muslima. Perhaps if they all won a BBC cookery contest……..?

      Don’t know if the father (or the whole extended family) told her to do this, if she actually did that to herself, or if they did that to her.

      But, as she doesn’t live in Egypt:

      She could have either agreed or said “No!”, had dad/family told her to do that. She had a choice.

      She could have either agreed or said “No!”, had dad/family actually done that to her. She had a choice.

      If dad/family actually did that to her, after telling them “No!”, that is assault.

      Will have to wait for more info.

    That humiliated young woman is in great danger.

    A muslim female is the chattel of her father. Under Islam’s rules, there is no legal penalty for “a parent who kills his offspring”. Islamic “honor”, as in “honor-killing”, means male supremacy.

    The sinister back-up of this sinister crime is that if the father fail to take action to remedy the loss of his male muslim supremacy then he pays. His fellow believer muslim males from his “community” will become his executioners.

    In London Kurdish Muslim Abdalla Yones cut the throat of his 16-year-old daughter Heshu because she had become too westernised. She had planned to run away from home after starting a relationship with an 18-year-old Lebanese Christian boy.

    Does this sound familiar?

    In Canada Mohamed Shafia and his wife murdered their three daughters, and his second wife, because they had become too westernised.

    In Switzerland a muslim father killed his sleeping daughter with axe blows to her head.

    And so on and so on.

    Police believe there were 12 such killings in Britain last year, including six in London.

        MTMLA, my initial reaction upon reading the posted article was the same as yours: I recalled the incident of the Egyptian father, Yasir Said, who shot and killed his daughters, Amin and Sarah, on New Year’s Day, 2008.

        Though he fled, with $9000 and his passport, law enforcement believes that he never left the country and is living with his brother or extended family in New York, all of whom are protecting him. He remains as a fugitive on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” list.

        The following two articles are germane:

        http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2152369/Yaser-Said-Man-murdered-daughters-shocking-Muslim-honour-killing-working-New-York-City-cab-driver.html

        http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/29/alleged-honor-killing-suspect-yaser-said-could-be-hiding-in-plain-sight-as-new.html

        Amin was murdered because she brought dishonor to the family by having a relationship with a non-Muslim. Sarah, the younger sister of Amin, was murdered because of her support for Amin and her own growing appreciation of Western values.

        Like so many others who have commented, I am convinced that her life is in serious jeopardy … and she knows that. After all, blood resolves Muslim honor concerns …

    The Media only praises Islam and it’s just sentiment of morals? But let us attend to this narration (Qur’an); and we shall soon find, that he bestows praise on such instances of treachery, inhumanity, cruelty, revenge, bigotry, as are utterly incompatible with civilized society.

    No steady rule of right seems there to be attended to; and every action is blamed or praised by the media, so far only as it is beneficial or hurtful to the true believers.

    That young attractive Muslim liar with her telling falsehood and a false police report may of done this despicable thing because she could find genuine thing wrong with Donald Trump so she tried to cast a shadow of guilt on Trump by saying false statement about a small and fictional group of Trump supporters. Does she hate Trump because he will block so many non- vetted Muslim from entering into America ? Maybe she and other Muslims hate Donald Trump because he will not tolerate the US Constitution being subverted by and replaced with Sharia law. Could be even some silly idea as that this young Muslim woman was feeling that If Trump because President he would create government harassment of all Muslim living in America ? If this last idea is the reason she hate trump then her fear is baseless and she has nothing to worry about. This is because when Donald Trump becomes President the only Muslim living in America who have need to worry are the vicious jihad-minded Muslims who are scheming with malicious and murderous intent jihad violence . As ,for the example the Muslim/jihadists of ISIS and Al Qaeda . The peaceful law abiding Muslims living in America will have nothing to worry about.

    Part of the U.N. Junta is to destroy Christianity, and replace it with GAIA. This was conceived in the late 70’s and articulated in the early 90’s overtly by the U.N. The progenitors of the GAIA hoax were Mikhail Gorbachev, and Stephen Rockefeller.

    Before your eyes, the plan is being executed. The political collapse of the Soviet Union, ( false Flag )
    is part of the ongoing push.

    “Yet hate crimes experts…”

    There is no such thing. A “hate crimes expert” is akin to a “crop circles expert”, i.e. a shameless charlatan, the difference being that you can make serious money in the “hate crimes” industry. In its English form, “hate crimes” law turns the presumption of innocence on its head, while making proof of innocence virtually impossible. If someone subjectively claims to think that you have committed a hate crime, that seems to be sufficient for the courts.

    The lopsidedness of such laws is accentuated by their ideological underpinnings: blacks can’t be racist; muslims are always victims; “islamophobia” is a crime, rather than a chimaera; etc, etc. The West is suffering from a plague of politically correct senior police officers, most of whom have never solved a crime in their lives, but who know that they have nothing to gain from pursuing even the most vile crimes by minorities and never dream of categorizing them as “hate crimes”, if they finally take action.

    A few years ago, stopped for no other reason than that he had drunk one or two too many, an Oxford student told the mounted police officer that his horse was gay. He was arrested, on suspicion of committing a hate crime. At the same time that that was happening, defenceless white girls in the same city were being repeatedly raped. Whether or not that particular policeman knew of the rapist gangs, plenty of his colleagues did and, for years, they turned a blind eye. The known rapists were all, or nearly all muslim, of Pakistani or Bangladeshi descent, but coyly defined by the media as “Asian”.

    Even when some of the criminals were finally arrested and convicted, there was never any question of categorizing their crimes as “hate crimes”, but, according to the law, that’s exactly what they were: systematic rapes by muslims of non-muslims. At every step of the process, however, the perpetrators received the benefit of politically correct, asymmetrical policing and an equally lopsided attitude from the judiciary. Nobody can seriously believe that the investigations in Oxford, or the parallel ones in Rochdale and Rotherham, did any more than skate the surface, or that those cases prosecuted represented anything more than a figleaf. It’s safe to assume that the rapist gangs are still going in Oxford and in dozens of other places.

    Reassuring, though, that there is zero tolerance for making jokes at the expense of horses.

      I love the word chimaera! An eloquent, brilliant analysis…I always wondered if “hate speech” and “hate crimes” chipped away at freedom of speech and the presumption of innocence. Nowadays, even the factual quotes spoken from the koran, vile and evil that they are, can be considered hate speech when made by non-muslims. But certainly not when used as prayer by muslims!
