Not jihad terror, but “Islamophobia.” Rouhani is calling upon Muslim leaders to step up the demonizing and stigmatizing of those who call attention to the reality of the jihad threat.
“Rouhani Calls on Muslim Leaders to Confront Islamophobia,” Far News Agency, May 27, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in separate messages to Muslim world leaders urged them to do their best to fight the scenario of Islamophobia as pursued by the western countries.
“No doubt the responsibility of all leaders, thinkers and scholars of Islamic countries is to explain and promote the lofty goals of Islam in the month of mercy, to use moderation in behavior and action and to provide a clear image of the religion to confront the inaccurate crises enemies create under Islamophobia,” Rouhani’s messages sent to the Muslim leaders on the occasion of advent of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
President Rouhani reiterated that Islam’s moderate face to the world would make it a place free from violence and extremism….
In relevant remarks in December, President Rouhani lashed out at US President Donald Trump’s remarks against the world Muslims.”Unfortunately, today, certain individuals across the world, under the pretext of combating terrorism, announce that Muslims should not be allowed into other countries and this is while these individuals are themselves among founders and supporters of terrorism,” President Rouhani said, addressing a cabinet meeting.
Those aiding terrorist groups should be held accountable for the crimes committed by the terrorists, he added….

More Muslims now are admitting, however tacitly, that “Islamophobia” is not unjustified. Check this video featuring an Emirati pop star which was posted on Friday by Zain, a Kuwaiti telecoms firm.

Muslims realizing that their worst enemies are found within their own ranks.
The suicide of the West is matched by the suicide of the East.

You must be aware that one of those is collapsing as we speak:

billybob says
That’s a very encouraging start, but jihad is not the only problem with Islam.
carol says
I wonder why they don’t set all the killings, stonings and beheadings done in the name of Islam to music!! Afraid we’d grow cynical of the ever so sweet serenading of the “enemy”?
Westman says
Did we get this right? The president of Iran, representing a fraction of a sect of less than 12% of all Muslims (Shias), and working under the thumb of an Ayatollah who says, “Yes, Death To America”, is calling on Sunnis who would like to secure his demise, to cooperate with his terrorist state in denouncing its resistance to immigrants from his country?
One could be excused for being uncertain to lie on the floor, pounding his fists in a fit of laughter, or,, throwing up in a fit of IslamOnausea. Perhaps it’s optional.
Oliver says
Why doesn’t some good Sunni terrorist that is affiliated with Al Queida kill these people (Iranian ayatollahs)?
They (Iranians) a few years ago, arrested some of Bin Laden’s relatives. They (The Bin Laden family) should honor kill these people (?).
And possibly all of the Islamic revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah while they are at it.
These people are freaking crazy
Lou says
At the same time the globalists are working to weaken and divide the West, they are working to unite the worldwide Ummah, the ”universal Muslim Nation.”
Having a common ennemy unite people. Muslims already have their God-given Infidels.
So much work is done to prevent Westerners from identifying their common ennemy. So much is done to create confusion and division.
If we could all together name our common ennemy, Islam, and their globalist and other allies, we could unite…and save ourselves…and ruin the globalists economic domination dream
as well as Islam’s politico-religious universal caliphate project…and what else…
gravenimage says
We’ve seen this before, Westman, where Shi’ites ignore Sunnis murdering them, but want Sunnis to unite with them in slaughtering Infidels.
gravenimage says
I should have added, and in establishing Shari’ah.
Lou says
In other words, Iranian Rouhani demands that Muslim leaders strongly establish the Sharia blasphemy law in Western societies. It forbids any critic about Islam. Including its violent Jihad. How convenient.
That is an extreme in ”tolerance”, religious or not. Isn’t it ?
Like British children sending cute letters to console the poor terrorists and their bruised feelings.
Muslims certainly learned the Western language…They bring us to sleep with lullabies and sweet bedtime stories. The innumerable Muslim massacres
must be only politically incorrect, collective bad dreams….for which we should apologize to the religion of peace.
There must have been some other meetings besides the G 7….These Globalists love to travel…
Westman says
Count on it.
Wellington says
Just for the record, I am not, repeat not, an Islamophobe. I don’t fear Islam. Rather, I am nauseated by Islam——– by its psychopathic reputed founder, its wretched holy book, its turgid schools of theology, the oh-so-revealing hadiths and sira, and so on.
I would contend that the word Islamonausea is the correct, valid and on point word for those who know what Islam is really all about. The word Islamophobia is a highly bogus word, one used by people who want no criticism of Islam at all. It is a word used by deceivers or fools (which is to say by Muslims or pathetically subordinate dhimmis) , contra the term Islamonausea, which is a good word, an accurate word, a valid word. So, count me in as a proud Islamonausean.
Really, time is way overdue to counter the deceptive word, Islamophobia, with Islamonausea. Way overdue. So I say, Islamonauseans unite and tell all those seriously using the word Islamophobia, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, that they are deficient human beings one way or another and we have nothing but scorn for their nomenclature.
A la Luther, here I stand. I can do no other. Time for a beer and a BLT.
CogitoErgoSum says
A beer and a BLT = quick relief for Islamonausea.
Wellington says
Damn right.
CogitoErgoSum says
Here’s to your good health, my friend. Cheers.

“…a man preaching what he thinks is a platitude is far more intolerant than a man preaching what he admits is a paradox. It was exactly because it seemed self-evident, to Moslems as to Bolshevists, that their simple creed was suited to everybody, that they wished in that particular sweeping fashion to impose it on everybody. It was because Islam was broad that Moslems were narrow. And because it was not a hard religion it was a heavy rule. Because it was without a self-correcting complexity, it allowed of those simple and masculine but mostly rather dangerous appetites that show themselves in a chieftain or a lord. As it had the simplest sort of religion, monotheism, so it had the simplest sort of government, monarchy. There was exactly the same direct spirit in its despotism as in its deism. The Code, the Common Law, the give and take of charters and chivalric vows, did not grow in that golden desert. The great sun was in the sky and the great Saladin was in his tent, and he must be obeyed unless he were assassinated. Those who complain of our creeds as elaborate often forget that the elaborate Western creeds have produced the elaborate Western constitutions; and that they are elaborate because they are emancipated.” (“The Fall of Chivalry,” The New Jerusalem — G K Chesterton )
Wellington says
Great thanks for that quote, MP, by Chesterton. It’s not only good, it’s superb. In microcosm it elevates the Judeo-Christian world, the Western world (most especially, minus the Judeo-Christian element of the West, the ancient Greek factor) and, so deservingly, lowers lesser worlds like those created by Muslims and Marxists.
This will, of course, be lost on many in our time, but precisely to the extent this comprehension is lost here, pretty much to the same extent is this indicative of those who adhere to lesser creeds——–like Islam and Marxism and that relatively recent and massive error, Western Leftism.
Man is in a battle to create, despite all the deficiencies man is possessed of, which deficiencies are most finely articulated by, among others, Hobbes and the Founding Fathers of America, the best of all societies possible. Well, such “best” will never be realized by those extolling totalitarian ideologies, be they Islam, Marxism, Nazism or modern Western Leftism. I treat this as a given. I would vigorously contend I have every ethical, intellectual and historical justification to do so.
But again, thanks for that quote. If only the entire world would take Chesterton to heart here. But it won’t. The Islamic world surely won’t. Nor will Putin. Nor the Chinese. Nor Tubby Boy in Pyongyang. Et al.
What a wasted opportunity of course, but much of the world is, I have concluded, a collective idiot, no better example being that which the Islamic portion of mankind has wrought——–and still inflicts upon the earth.
My prediction: It has always been this way and always will be because once “stuck” with a totalitarian ideology, or just “mere” stupidity masquerading as something sapient, like Islam, or Marxism, or Nazism, or your standard control-freak authoritarianism which has existed through the ages and still does in places like Moscow and Beijing, there ain’t much metaphorical wiggle room. No, not at all. And people like Merkel, Macron, May and the present Pope are only “good for” prolonging this monstrous unnecessary agony since they keep making excuses for that which no excuses should no longer be made. No doubt.
Still, I have hope since now and again a great person appears who rescues civilization from itself. People like Lincoln and Churchill come to mind. Very much so. The world needs one or two right now. No doubt.
Westman says
Must agree, MP and Wellington. The Chesterton quote is succinct and elegant.
Raising my Diet Coke to your BLT.
Ashley says
If you only knew how I would like to purchase you that beer and BLT, Wellington…
“Islamonausea.” Perfect!
Wellington says
Much thanks for that, Ashley. Much.
No Fear says
Islamophobia: a word used by Islamonazis to describe people who refuse to submit to Mohammed’s sock puppet god Allah.
More Ham Ed says
Very few islamic (lowercase be upon it) “leaders” confront islamorealism.
30901 DOCUMENTED deadly ISLAMIC terror attacks since 9/11.

And they’ve got the nerve to distribute self-hugging mythological videos set to music while “extra big bangworks” celebrate their Ramadan gig with even more carcasses and casualties.
Steve Klein says
I am not sure how many times I have been called an Islamophobe by liberals.
mortimer says
As the truth sets in in their thick skulls, I hope the Libtards have the decency to come up to you and say, ‘You were right.’ (They seldom do, though.)
Rex says
Islamaphobia is FEAR of Islam.
Islamisia is HATRED of Islam.
I’ll take Islamisia with a BEER and Bacon Cheeseburger.
rich says
How many people died in Islamic terror attacks this week?
This is why we’re so “phobic.”
carol says
Sounds like a very healthy reaction.
Michael says
Islamophobia is caused by Jihadists!
mortimer says
Michael, you are correct. ALLAH WANT MUSLIMS TO TERRORIZE:
Koran 8.60 “TURHIBUNNA” … Terrorize them!
balam says
It was actually MOHAMMAD who told Muslims to terrorise the KUFFAR because Allah is the MESSENGER of Mohammad-THE TERRORIST!!!
mortimer says
I call on all Muslim leaders to confront KAFIR-O-PHOBIA … the hatred of dirty KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’.
carol says
Silly boy, they don’t think their “God” swings that way!
Michael says
Politicians should be up on charges of manslaughter and or acomplices to murder for letting such a threat into their borders .Western leaders are as responible as the terrorists for letting them in knowing the proven risk Islam brings.We are all one human family but if a culture brings death and destruction our leaders are usefull idiots to let this happen and traitors to their own people as well.A huge criminal class action of negligence and failure of duty of care to the public should be undertaken against such foolish leaders.
roger woodhouse says
Our so called ‘leaders’are busy with another diversionary tactic unfolding here in the UK .The establishment having given up on Brexit are hoping for a labour victory to come their rescue.Anything to distract the supine British away from the real issue facing this country.Its succeeding in its diversionary tactics as the ‘left’ playing all the right cards and winning over the ‘confused’amongst the electorate’.Buying time ‘is the name of the game right now.May has stalled the Brexit process for as long as she safely could.She lacks the guts to tackle islam so is ready to hand the country back to the Labour party knowing it will fail also We the British people can only stand by and watch the disaster unfold before our eyes.God how I hope Im wrong on this scenario.
balam says
Sir Winston remarked that ISLAM IN A MUSLIM WAS LIKE RABIES IN A DOG .Will any SANE person not fear a RABID DOG?

“Those aiding terrorist groups should be held accountable for the crimes committed by the terrorists, he added….”
Well, he just backed his grotty old self into a corner there.
I guess HAMAS doesn’t count, huh Rouhani?
You hypocritical, deceitful POS.
I’ll disrespect, distrust and dislike Islam til my dying breath, with joy in my heart and a sparkle in my eye, if it means that my so-called ‘Islamaphobia’ enrages the likes of you.
I do not fear Islam. It disgusts me. It is not worthy of my respect. Simple.

Michelle Ricciardone says
We talk and talk. Political leaders talk and talk, the only thing they are concerned with is reelection . The liberal/ socialist agenda is winning . The young are being indoctrinated , the press is part of their tools. Even shows have their back!! You can’t speak your mind , for fear of hurting someone’s feelings ! ! Our thoughts beliefs , and speech is being controlled by the socialist party of today .SO before our country is gone and taken away anyone have an answer ? ??? Is there anyone that has the strength to take it back?? Orr are we done?
Lydia says
Combat it by… let me guess…. more bombings, tortures, murders, beheadings, and swinging of the sword?
Tom says
These muslim leaders know that the political correctness established in our western socities through the left wing and our appeasing politicians is our achilles heel and islamaphobia is the weapon to use in the strike against our achilles heel.
What they don’t want is a rise in nationalism and the patriotic fervour that will come with that creating a wave of anti appeasement and anti capitulation.
They see this rising slowly in countries like poland and they want to strike before it has a chance to spread.
This is their final strike and they think that they can win the war before our army has even become established.
Cretius says
I find claims of racism and Islamophobia made by the supremacist belief system of Islam ludicrous as it is Islam that makes NO accommodation for non-believers, hates democratic institutions, freedom of speech (Motion M-103), freedom of choice and embodies the inequality of women in every sense! Conservative Muslims are the poster children for bigotry and intolerance. They even kill Muslims they do not agree with. The root problem is that the teachings are inflexible and cannot be revised from their 7th century beliefs. Secular Muslims are more reasonable. Jihad (holy war) takes many forms, i.e. waves of Muslim ‘refugees’ to Christian countries and terrorist attacks against non-believers worldwide. The UN now is heavily weighted on the Islamic side which is a problem. Imagine Saudi Arabia chairing the UN on women’s rights! Now if that is not obscene I don’t know what is.
Bottom line there are good and bad people in every belief system.
