“What to do if you are witnessing Islamophobic harassment” — not “What to do if you are witnessing jihad terror.” This is the city of the Boston Marathon jihad bombings, but the way Boston authorities are behaving, it was “Islamophobes,” not Muslims, who set off that bomb. No harassment of innocent people is ever justified; this campaign, however, will only reinforce the idea that is wrong and “racist” to oppose jihad terror.
“Boston to hang 50 posters addressing public harassment, Islamophobia around city,” by Kristin LaFratta, MassLive.com, July 18, 2017:
In the next two weeks, the city of Boston will hang 50 posters to address public harassment and Islamophobia.
The posters present “A bystander’s guide to helping a person who is being targeted,” with the title “ISLAMOPHOBIC HARASSMENT” in bold, capital letters on top. Illustrations depict a woman sitting on a bus or train wearing a hijab, and an angry man yelling at her. A woman intervenes, conversing with the victim until the attacker walks away. The artist employs shades of purple and blues for the drawings, making the race of the illustrated characters unclear, though the intervening bystander appears to be white.
Parisian artist Maeril designed the cartoons, which depict what the city calls “non-complementary behavior.” The posters ask bystanders to engage in random conversation with the victim (in the posters, the bystander asks the victim, “Do You Like Movies?…I just saw a really good one!”). The poster says such rapport builds “the safe space” which is expected to “push” the attacker to leave the area.
The city’s push to hang the posters follow reports of harassment against people of Muslim faith across the country, including a verbal attack against a Muslim woman on the MBTA’s Orange Line last month….

How about 50 additional posters displaying the malevolence of Hijab/Hijabis. First of all, Hijab is Anti-American symbolism which stands against freedom of choice. Second, whenever there is a Hijabi, there is probably a Jihadi around. Lastly, it is ugly, security risk and scary!! I don’t want kids to see these garbage. Looks like city of Boston has short memory and has all ready forgotten the Marathon bombing.

I feel every hijab is a deep insult to women who show their hair and are thus considered ‘easy meat’. And a deep insult to men who respect women and don’t treat them as ‘easy meat’.
Creole Gumbo says
The hijab is a message to Muslim rapists that says “don’t rape me – rape her (the woman without hijab).”

It would extremely helpful to post an article explaining why it is never good to harass a Muslim female (with or without children) in a public place. Muslims live in fear of their own kind than some rude dummy harassing and mouthing off like the bully depicted in the Islamophobia cartoon, for they are trapped in a bad religion. There are effective ways to counter Islam without resorting to targeting and bullying some Muslim people in public places.
Cretius says
Islam is more than a religion. Islam is a complete totalitarian belief system that governs every aspect of life, cradle to grave. Islam is totally incompatible with the values and practices of a secular democracy. Islam is supremacist and makes no accommodations with non-believers. Muslims are not allowed to assimilate with other societies. Islam is misogynist and devoid of the concept of gender equality as practised in the west. Yet leftist politicians insist on embracing a belief system dedicated to the destruction of ALL non-Muslim societies. Perhaps the leftists are the real terrorists and a threat to the survival of secular democracy.
Eagle Nest says
I concur, CAIR says all truths about the Muslims spoken by non-believers are considered Islamophobia.The truth happens to be inconvenient facts about Mohamed that would be swept under the carpet. That’s is why they insist so much on imposing blasphemy laws or labeling people as “Islamophobic”, to hide the horrible truth about their false prophet. They know no decent human being could accept Mohamed was a good person or even more a prophet. A good practicing Muslim knows the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. The freedom of speech should allow the truth to come out as an education for the American people to see and hopefully understand the Muslim threat to the American people and the American core beliefs..Think twice before inviting a Muslim into your heart and the community. The Muslim agenda is to push the Sharia Law on the American people and make demands that allow only the Muslims to be above the American law. This is part of their creed.

Bob,
I also think would extremely helpful to post an article explaining why it is never good to harass a Swastika wearing female or female member of the KKK (with or without children) in a public place. Swastika wearing females and female members of the KKK live in fear of their own kind then some rude dummy harassing and mouthing off like a bully depicted in some anti-KKK or anti Nazi cartoon, for they are trapped in a bad cult. There are effective ways to counter Nazism or KKK members without resorting to targeting and bullying some KKK members or Nazis in public places.
somehistory says
If grief were ever good, I would write *good grief.*
Infidels are the ones being harassed…by islum…The phobia is the fear moslums have that the truth is getting out about their evil beast.
It’s getting to the point that anyone finding reasons to disagree with a moslum will be accused as an *attacker* and a white person nearby will intervene on behalf of the moslum. But what if the moslum is at fault?
What if the moslum is the *attacker* and the infidel is only defending…as with *free speech*? It won’t matter.
Remember the customer service rule: #1. The customer is always right. #2. If the customer is wrong, refer to rule number 1.
This will become: #! The moslum is always right. #2.If the moslum is wrong, refer to rule number 1

I live in a city full of idiots, from Hah-vud Sharia compliant University to our idiot Mayor Muslim-lovin’ Marty Walsh who invites any rag/bagheads who feel “threatened” to come hide out at City Hall. I will continue to glare at bagheads each and every time I see one, on principle.
Oh, and someone might have pointed out to the sharia-compliant poster designer that asking a baghead if she likes movies might not be the best idea because that is probably haram and if her lord-and-master, excuse me, husband or other male relative, hears her talking about them she could get beaten for disobedience. Have a nice day.
Westman says
A Parisian cartoon shows a Muslima, compliant to the point of wearing an abaya, who is riding alone in contradiction to Allah’s [Muhammad’s] command to be accompanied by companions.
In the spirit of using European artists, how about posting the swimming pool “Don’t Touch” ads from Germany right next to them? The posters imply that the abuse to Muslimas is happening yet there are no news stories coming from Boston.
The SJW city has just opened the floodgates to fake incidents and the immoral lawyers that will capitalize on them. Muslimas have no path to notoriety in their own closed community. Now, any Boston Muslima has an opportunity to be a “Sarsour”, a notoriety accepted by Muslim men, by creating an incident. The news stories should soon begin.
I doubt the Boston government, that hangs these 50 posters, is able to comprehend the mentality of an ideology that may someday hang 50 Bostonians.
Why is Boston waiting to propose that Congress pass an Affirmative Action bill for Muslims? Liberals are always eager to take away and use OPM for their causes; and equally happy to ignorantly give away their country to a non-integrating culture.
Cretius says
Islamophobia n., a Muslim word used to shut down any discussion or debate of the teachings of Islam, Islamic history, Islamic practices or debate on the Islamic belief system by non-believers.
It is usually paired with ‘racism’ even though Islam is not a race. Islam is totally incompatible with the theory and practices of a modern secular democracy. Politicians and leftists that promote this farce have betrayed their citizens and their democracy.
“Islamophobia’ is a direct attack on free speech and our tradition of discussing and debating ideas. Islam is ideas and ideas have no rights but people do have rights.
Speak out and expose Islamophobia for the fraud that it is.

I suggest hanging 50 posters in Boston which address something real rather than fake. I refer here to Islamonausea, which is fully justified considering that 1) we infidels are treated as the equivalent of human waste in Islamic theology; 2) we have created free societies while Muslims have never created a free society; and 3) we have had it with a religion that is the only religion that calls for war to be made upon non-believers “until all religion is with Allah” {Sura 8:39} and which religion considers Jews and Christians “the vilest of creatures” {Sura 98:6}. Yes, Islamonausea posters should be hung declaring that being a proud Islamonausean is fully justified, indeed necessary for the continuation of freedom and even life itself.
Keys says
Yes, Islamonausea.
When I see a woman wearing muslim headgear, I feel anger for what it represents and for what she is trying to “jam down our throats”. She is making a statement and I want to make an opposing statement.
And I feel nausea that this is going on in our hard fought for and hard worked for nation.
Guest says
Yup, she is stating that women who show their hair are sluts. That is what the hijab means.
Anne Smith says
The poster about “The Perfect Man” which we have heard about on Jihadwatch should do the job quite well while they think up posters to depict what a good citizen should do when witnessing a jihad attack with knives, or perhaps a lorry running over pedestrians.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes.
Exactly.
Norger says
I live and work in Boston. Muslims are not harassed in this city; whatever incident may have occurred on the Orange Line of the MBTA is a “one off.”
What bothers me about this is that it furthers the victimhood narrative. The reality is that something like a dozen people associated with the Islamic Society of Boston (the city’s major mosque) have been arrested or killed for terrorism related offenses, including the Tsaernaev brothers and the “Grey Lady of Al Quaeda, Aifa Siddique. THAT is a subject which is not. and cannot be discussed by our political leaders or the MSM in this city.
gravenimage says
Norger, it turns out that the incident on the Orange Line was an Infidel noting that Muslims plot violent Jihad. He probably should not have aimed this at a random Muslimah, but he was *not wrong”:
“DA: A Man Yelled Anti-Muslim Slurs at a Woman on the Orange Line”
http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/blog/2017/06/21/orange-line-anti-muslim-attack/
Note that there is nothing “racial” about this–the references were to Islam, which is *not* a race.
The only real crimes here were his hitting her with an umbrella and breaking a train window.
The most grotesque thing is that he is being charged with making a bomb threat for noting that Muslims frequently bomb us.
Norger says
Sounds like he was a drunk on the Orange Line. I am utterly shocked that something like this could happen in my city.
ItsReallyQuiteClear says
Yes, anti-Muslim hate crime is increasing in the U.S. But Muslims are still not the most likely to be targeted by religiously-biased hate crime. That “honor” goes to Jews, who, since the earliest available online FBI hate crime statistics (1996), have been, far and away, the most likely targeted religious group.
Committing (counter) hate crimes against Muslims isn’t the answer to the threat of jihad, and a civilized society should be concerned about any increasing trend in hate crime targeting. But where there is concern about the rate of increase of hate crimes against Muslims — which isn’t verbalized in that way, it’s presented as being the only category of hate crime that should be of concern — how can there not be at least a similar degree of concern over religiously-biased hate crimes that target a group more frequently than Muslims are targeted?
Source: https://ucr.fbi.gov/ucr-publications#Hate
Find the links to each yearly report under the heading: Hate Crime Statistics, then either follow the links for “Incidents and Offenses” or the “Access Tables” links. Table 1 has the links to religiously biased hate crimes.
———————————————————————————————
And, the FBI hate crime statistics have consistently shown that blacks and LGBT people are even more likely to be victims of hate crime than members of any religious group. So why do we only hear about the “victimization” of Muslims?
Perhaps Hitler could shed some light on that. No, seriously:
“All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.”
— Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X
Add a pathological drive for political correctness, an equal drive to vilify conservatives (who are the only ones who currently seem aware of the threat of jihad), toss in modern social media and its accompanying or rather, its absent attention span, and you have an unholy and (im)perfect storm.
Boston… One if by land and 1.3 million if by sea…
gravenimage says
A great many of these “hate crimes” have proven to have been fabricated by the Muslims themselves.
ItsReallyQuiteClear says
gravenimage,
You’re right! Anti-Muslim hate crimes are probably the fastest growing category of fake news.
It would be interesting to do an analysis of what percentage of news coverage relating to hate crimes, or to persecution by group affiliation, is given to Muslims vs….all other groups combined. I suppose that a celebration is overdue, since it would appear that all of the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement have been resolved, as coverage of that group’s activities have completely vanished from the news (not directed at you, but feel the need to add /sarc).

Dear Americans, please always remember that as Infidels/ Kuffar/ Non Muslims, you are NOT the only ones targeted for Subjugation to Sharia or EXTERMINATION by Muslims (Arabs or otherwise) hence it is VITAL that you realize that one does not need more than two brain cells of logic to understand Muslims and Islam in a nutshell~
Since every Muslim is Sharia compliant (London mayor Khan is a prime example who made Haj to Mecca and hence Sharia compliant as well as Linda Sarsour who LOVES Sharia) every Muslim cannot ever be a Law abiding LOYAL citizen in ANY non Muslim nation because these nations do not submit to Allah’s Sharia. Hence every Muslim is the mortal and eternal enemy of every non Muslim Infidel/ Kafir on planet Earth (80% of current humanity) who hide their disloyalty by PRETENDING and deceiving (Taqiyyah) non Muslims that they are loyal (such as mayor Khan and the Muslims in congress)
Every Muslim is a potential Mass Murderer the instant he/ she decides that he/she is NOT Sharia compliant enough (just like in the recent Muslim terrorist attacks in UK and the Afghani Muslim soldiers who murder their American benefactors)
I agree that Not ALL Muslims are Terrorists BUT 100% of all Terrorist attacks against Infidels/ Kuffar are committed ONLY by Muslims. Therefore, every Muslim is a hair trigger Time Bomb primed to go off (It is also a FACT that it is IMPOSSIBLE to point out who among Muslims is a terrorist or not)
Only in the WARPED imagination of leftists can one find Moderate, Militant, Radical or Extremist Muslims because in reality Muslims are Muslims just as Nazis are Nazis and no one ever addressed Nazis as Moderate, Militant, Radical or Extremist. (Just ask PM Erdogan of Turkey to prove my statements)
All other explanations are superfluous and redundant It is time for every decent and patriotic person to unshackle yourselves from the pre conceived but erroneous notion that ANYONE who is not a Muslim can make PEACE with Islam.
All anyone in doubt has to do is READ only chapters 2 to 9 of Muhammad’s Quran and watch the repeated mass slaughter of unarmed innocent European, American, Russian, Indian, Chinese, Iraqi etc. civilians by Muslims proclaiming they are doing the butchery to PLEASE their demonic god Allah
As usual, all that Europeans get from their criminally negligent leaders after every Islamic mass murder are platitudes, meaningless expressions of sympathy to the hapless victims by the very leaders who are unwilling to protect their citizenry because of their abject denial of all Facts and Reality regarding the TRUTH

Boston to hang 50 posters addressing public harassment, “Islamophobia” around city
……………………..
This is the city that suffered the horrific Boston Marathon Bombing. Muslims slaughtering innocent people is apparently not a problem, though–just the phantom “harassment” of the killers.
And if you tried to strike up the sort of conversation drawn above, the Muslimah would probably glare at you and tell you that movies are Haram.
Here’s Islam Q & A, the most widely read Islamic site in English:
“The evil consequences of watching movies”

Isn’t this poster in fact “Islamophobic” for mentioning such things? Bad dhimmis!

Perhaps some inventive jihadwatchers might have fun *creating* posters of that kind.
“What to do when the jihadis with knives/ bomb/ guns attack your church/ synagogue/ temple/ gurdwara/ concert hall/ restaurant/ pub/ bar/ shopping centre/ hotel”.
“What to do if you see a mob of mohammedan males molesting a terrified girl/ woman/ little old lady in the street/ park/ shops”.
“What to do if you see a group of mohammedan males in a car outside a primary (or secondary) school kerb-crawling next to a frightened schoolgirl or schoolgirls”.
“What to do if you are at the pool or the beachl and a mohammedan male or males attack boy/ girl/ woman in the water”.

Apparently, Islamophobia according to the Boston’s Overlords Islamophobia must be confronted, placing criticism of Islam a no-no, while anti-Semitism is rife throughout America and the Western world. Not to mention, the denigrating bigotry from the malicious gobs of the leftist progressives, towards anyone diverse of their political ethos or godlessness. Islam, needless to say, do not fit the bigotry profile set by progressives.
Ironically, the leftists have circled the wagons as protection of those, whose ideology and intent is one of the same, the downfall of America.

Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.
Right in the Qur’an is: the permission to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).
Are death-threats legal? NO.
Is extortion legal? NO.
Is slavery legal? NO.
Is murder legal? NO.
Is rape legal? NO.
THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!
Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!
Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!

The Constitution has been misinterpreted, abused, and subverted. As it continues to be violated, we should see how freedom is gradually being destroyed. The Founding Fathers who framed our Constitution in 1787 knew that individuals have certain unalienable rights – “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,â€� as earlier expressed in the Declaration of Independence. These rights were God-given rights. No government or constitution gave them to the individual. Rather, the purpose of governments and constitutions was to protect these basic, God-given rights.
The Founding Fathers comprehended how and why people behave the way they do. Men like James Madison and Alexander Hamilton understood human nature. They saw that some human beings would always resort to force, deceit, war, stealing, and killing to get what they wanted. Thus, there was an obvious need for government – legitimate, just government to carry out two main functions:
(1) protecting free people from foreign enemies and invaders;
(2) protecting honest, self-responsible, hard-working citizens within the nation from domestic lawbreakers who would use coercion, fraud, or force to deprive others of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.�
Good government would do the above, and the Founding Fathers outlined that kind of government in our Constitution. Just as they gave the government certain authority, they also placed limitations on government power. The framers of the Constitution realized that while government was needed to protect individual freedom, government itself had to be placed within limited, strictly defined boundaries. If government was not restrained, it would destroy individual liberty and lead to tyranny. Government had to be controlled. James Madison explained the matter:
