The Arab American National Museum hosts a town hall-style meeting exploring two executive orders: The World War II-era order causing internment of Japanese Americans and this year’s attempt to ban travel from seven Muslim-majority nations.
The “town hall-style” meeting is being held at a location that even Politico described as one of concern:
Dearborn, Michigan, may be the closest thing America has to a Mollenbeek, the seething, Islamicized neighborhood of Brussels believed to have harbored the terrorists involved in both the metro and airport attacks this week and last fall’s slaughter in Paris. An ordinary Detroit suburb sometimes called the “Arab Capital of North America,” Dearborn has the nation’s largest mosque; it’s home to the Arab Museum, Middle Eastern cafes, and halal beef burgers at McDonald’s.
The absurdity of comparing the Japanese internment to Trump’s travel ban should be obvious, but Islamic victimhood propaganda is rife these days. The “Japanese Internment Order” has been well established to be a racist order leading to innocent members of the Japanese community suffering gross injustice. The U.S. apologized in 1988 and offered “payment to surviving internees.” The seven Muslim-majority countries listed in Trump’s executive order on immigration were identified as “countries of concern” under the Obama administration in a bill that Barack Obama signed in December 2015. Trump followed through based on sound reasons of security.
In taking a lesson from Europe’s suicidal immigration policy, the European Union’s Security chief has now declared that the UK is home to up to 35,000 “fanatical Islamists,” while France is home to about 17,000. Altogether, there are tens of thousands of jihadists scattered throughout Europe.
Given these facts, here we go again with the victimology subterfuge, now at the The Arab American National Museum. It is the same tactic underlying the “Islamophobia” narrative that is being rammed down the throat of Westerners by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
A comparison similar to this came from Turkish despot Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who compared “Islamophobia” to antisemitism, and wants “Islamophobia” declared a crime against humanity.
“Japanese Internment, Muslim Travel Ban Topics of Town Hall”, Associated Press, September 3, 2017:
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — The Arab American National Museum hosts a town hall-style meeting exploring two executive orders: The World War II-era order causing internment of Japanese Americans and this year’s attempt to ban travel from seven Muslim-majority nations.
The museum in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn on Friday plans its third annual 9/11 Anniversary Town Hall entitled Executive Orders: Japanese Internment & the Muslim Ban.
Organizers say panelists will reflect on the 75th anniversary of the order affecting Japanese Americans and the travel ban, which was legally challenged and revised under limitations set by the Supreme Court.
The event is free with reservation …….

A lot of my family never came back from WWII, Most internees survived their time in American camps. Not so much, those unfortunate enough to be POWs in Japanese camps.

The Arab American National Museum is drawing attention to the VICIOUS BACKWARDNESS OF ISLAM by reminding people of the reasons Americans needed to fight Imperial Japan.
There are many SIMILARITIES between the Shinto-Bushido-Warrior Cult of Imperial Japan and with Islam 1) divine emperor vs. rightly guided caliph 2) cult of supremacism 3) cult of warriors 4) kamikazes vs. suicidal ‘martyrdom’ 5) beheadings 6) raping of captives 7) expansionism, 8) Bushido code vs. discriminatory Sharia, 9) male chauvinism, 10) Imperialism, etc.
Today, Japan has abandoned most of the Shinto-Bushido-Warrior Cult, but Muslims have not abandoned their supremacism, discriminatory Sharia, male chauvinism beheading and many other 7th century practices. Japanese are modern, but Muslims live in the Dark Ages and want to drag every country back into it.

Japan has very apologised for it’s cruel and inhumane treatment of POWs – presumably they’d do the same today using their Korean guards?!
Charles says
These muslim MAGGOTS have got to go! No “internment”. Ship them right OUT!
Let them go back to humping goats and gulping Camel piss.
Charlie in NY says
The law of unintended consequences might highlight a large difference between the Japanese internment and the current situation in which the US Muslim population finds itself.
Prior to the internment order – and during the entire war – there was never any attempt by any Japanese American resident or citizen to spy on or engage in terror against the American population. This was asserted by no less an authority than J. Edgar Hoover who opposed the internment.
How many cases have we heard – ironically in opposition to President Trump’s travel ban – that the cases of Islamic terrorism have been carried out by Muslim residents or citizens of the US rather than by any refugees.
So, while the Japanese Americans proved themselves entirely loyal to the US, the same cannot be said of the Muslim community here where too few Muslim voices are raised to object to Islamic terrorism and too many are raised to either rationalize it or deflect.
mortimer says
Seconding Charlie. Muslims are loyal to one another, never to the kaafir.

Would not be bad for a JihadWatch reader to get in and record the event.

Can’t even read the article. This comparison holds sway in emotional “liberal” discussions so that any defense against jihad becomes instantly unjustified by implication.
Can someone give me a simple logical refutation of the equivalence, for the mostly ignorant but passionate nevertheless.
Ren says
Japanese are not terrorists, muslims are. Even though not all muslims are terrorists, all terrorists are muslims.
David Munson says
Why wouldn’t they include the killing of the LGBT Community by Muslims?
s says
What reparations have the Japanese given the Chinese for doing far worse to their people?? Unit 731 and the treatment of US soldiers, was parallel to Germany’s Evil experiments… where is their “reparation”? The outrage was deep with me, when Barack Hussein Obama went to Japan and Apologized to them for what America’s bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Our war with Japan would never have ended had we not dropped the H-bombs. Japanese military believed in Kamikaze… suicide for their cause.. just as radical Islamists commit suicide for their cause. America is the only nation who stands for Freedom and Liberty… sadly so many spoiled Americans cannot comprehend what they are so easily willing to usurp.

Arab American National Museum holds town hall on Japanese internment and Trump travel ban
……………………….
Muslims are always pushing this false comparison. Of course, Japanese-Americans were not responsible for a single act of sabotage or terrorism during WWII–would that one could say the same of Muslims in the West, who are constantly slaughtering Infidels.
