That “loathsome,” manipulative word, pushed hard by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, emerges again: “Islamophobia.” This time, it is to malign Donald Trump.
Muslims in America are more vulnerable to bigotry and Islamophobia as a result of Donald Trump’s behaviour and actions than they were after the 9/11 attacks, according to a leading Muslim activist.
No one can actually point to what Trump did that promoted bigotry against Muslims and so-called “Islamophobia,” other than exercise his right to protect Americans from jihadists (stealth and violent) and his recent recognition of the rights of Israel.
The word “Islamophobia” is not the same as anti-Muslim bigotry, which any reasonable person should oppose. “Islamophobia” is broader, and is analogous with Islamic blasphemy laws. Any criticism of Islam, any attack on Islamic supremacism and jihadist ambitions, renders one “Islamophobic.”
The word “Islamophobia” has become the Islamic supremacist default position as they continue to make fools of sympathetic Westerners. In their view, the Sharia is above all. It is divine law, and the world is divided in two: Dar al Harb (the House of War) and Dar al Islam (the House of Islam).
Trump has simply declared the American right to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the Islamic supremacist onslaught is on, with their water carriers in tow. Given historic evidence of the Jewish right to their tiny state, what could possibly be the problem? The problem is the very existence of Israel as the PA, Fatah, Hamas and the surrounding Arab States have sought the destruction of Israel since 1948.
How dare Trump not bow down to Islamic supremacists! This renders him “Islamophobic” and a promoter of “Islamophobia.”
“Islamophobia even worse under Trump than after 9/11 attacks, says top Muslim activist”, by Andrew Buncombe, Independent, January 27, 2017:
Muslims in America are more vulnerable to bigotry and Islamophobia as a result of Donald Trump’s behaviour and actions than they were after the 9/11 attacks, according to a leading Muslim activist.
As the country approaches the anniversary of Mr Trump’s first year in office, Ibrahim Hooper said such was the level of anxiety and apprehension, many Muslims were fearful to public display signs of their faith. A number of Muslim women, for instance, were deciding not to to appear in public wearing the veil.
“It’s not just Americans Muslims [who feel anxious],” Mr Hooper, a founder of the Council On American-Islamic Relations, told The Independent. “We have have seen white supremacists emboldened under Trump.”
Mr Hooper said many people of colour and the minority community had been deeply dismayed by many of Mr Trump’s actions, including his Muslim travel ban and his administration’s crackdown on undocumented migrants.
He said the President’s failure to speak out against white supremacism and extremism – as in the aftermath of neo-Nazi-led violence in Charlottesville in August which left one woman dead – had the impact of allowing such views to become mainstream.
Many white supremacists, including former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, praised the way Mr Trump responded to the violence, claiming that there was blame “on all sides”.
“It’s worse now than even after 9/11. He has empowered and mainstreamed white supremacy and bigotry,” he said. “After 9/11, bigotry was under the rocks and hidden. Now these bigots are out in the open and saying they are proud of their bigotry.”
Asked if he believed the alleged increase in Islamophobia was the result of Mr Trump’s presidency, he said: “There is no other explanation.”
Mr Hooper said several episodes of anti-Muslim violence had made international headlines. Among them was an incident in May, when two men were killed and a third badly injured, after they tried to intervene on a train in Portland, Oregon, when a man started screaming anti-Muslim insults at two women. In Quebec City, Canada, six people were killed and 10 others injured after a lone gunman opened fire.
Mr Hooper’s organisation said it had been collating details of other alleged hate crimes and incidents of Islamophobia that did not always get widespread media coverage.
Between January and September 2017, the organisation recorded 1,656 so-called “bias incidents” and 195 hate crimes. That represented a 9 per cent increase in bias incidents and a 20 per cent rise in hate crimes compared to 2016.
“Based on preliminary estimates, it’s fair to say that 2017 is gearing to be the worst year on record for incidents of anti-Muslim bias since we began our current system of documentation,” said research and advocacy coordinator Zainab Arain……

That depends, Benedict–both “Queer” and “Chicano” were originally pejorative terms with negative connotations that were ‘reclaimed’ by the Gay and Hispanic communities, and are now used with pride.
I have no idea if the same could be done with “Islamophobe”, but it is certainly not out of the question.
Benedict says
A phobia is defined as an irrational fear and categorized as a mental disorder or a crippling affliction and I doubt that that can be turned into something positive, so I suggest we don’t concede this to the enemy – he is not worth it. Anyhow, I understand your point.

“Mr Hooper said many people of colour and the minority community had been deeply dismayed by many of Mr Trump’s actions, including his Muslim travel ban and his administration’s crackdown on undocumented migrants.”
An American President protecting American lives by a “Muslim travel ban” and a “crackdown on undocumented migrants” is “DEEPLY DISTURBING”.
It’s called “DOING THE JOB”.

IQ al Rassooli says
Can someone in the media ask the retard Ibrahim Hooper the following very simple but deadly question~
How many Americans have been slaughtered by Muslims in the USA since 9/10/2001 and how many Muslims have been murdered by Americans in the USA since 9/10/2001?
Every Muslim, irrespective of gender, nationality, race, colour or background is by being a Muslim the Eternal and Mortal ENEMY of every non Muslim/ Kafir/ Infidel on Earth (80% of current humanity)
Every Muslim must also be a Pathological Liar to advance the sole purpose of being alive on Earth which is to bring about either the Subjugation to Sharia of ALL humanity or their EXTERMINATION
Just because a Muslim dresses and behaves as if he/ she is part pf Western culture is pure Allah sanctioned DECEPTION called Taqiyyah
Hooper represents CAIR that should be outlawed as a supporter of Islamic terror and as traitors to the US Constitution
Any Muslims to challenge my assertions?

Agree with IQ. Hooper has bought into the amorality of Islam which teaches ‘the end justifies the means’.
Hooper believes any lie or terrorist act is justified if it advances Islam. He makes a living by misrepresenting Islam, by making straw men to attack and by misinterpreting American policies and attitudes. Hooper is a well-paid traitor to the US.

Diane Harvey,
Good points.
Unfortunately, with Islam as with the left, rational thinking is “not” part of the equation. They both skillfully employ the technique called “turnspeak.” One definition can be found at the link below. -http://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/turnspeak.html
With these people, the issue is never the issue, it’s the narrative that matters.

Couple of screws and probably has the psychopath gene. Islam attracts psychopaths. The Mohammedans rejoice when innocent people are killed (Jihad). Allah is Warlord Muhammed (poop be upon him).

Yep. Any Westerner who converts to Islam is advertising his low !Q and support for thuggery. Hooper is a textbook case.
Mickey says
First and foremost–THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Moslems do not belong here. They belong in the Middle East where they can push their barbaric ideologies. They are only here, as in Europe to take over the World with their Sharia Law and their cult. Islam is NOT a peaceful religion. Many Moslems believe in the Quran and use that as their daily food. CAIR IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION AND EVEN EQYPT pushed them out. The Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government under the Bushes, Clintons and Obama. We need to push them out. We got rid of them in the Barbary Wars – Tripoli; we can do it again and we NEED to do it before our Country is lost like Europe.
It’s crap mentality on the left that we need these people in our Country. Obama pushed them on us and built them up to believe they belong here and they built America. SORRY! No such truth in that.
TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM:
Muslims are encouraged to commit violence in the name of Islam.
Muslim theological documents — the Koran, Hadith, and Sunna — are filled with statements which encourage devout Muslims to commit violence in the name of Islam.
Here are just a few:
• Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them(2:191)
• Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood (9:123)
• When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them (9:5)
• Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax (9:29)
• Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable (3:85)
• The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them (9:30)
• Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam (5:33)
• The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque (9:28)
• Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies (22:19)
• Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them (47:4)
• The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them (8:65)
• Muslims must not take the infidels as friends (3:28)
• Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an (8:12)
• Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels
In addition to the Muslim theological documents mentioned above, Islamic social norms encourage violence. It is widely noted that Friday is the most likely day when jihad attacks will occur within Muslim society. This is because the mullahs use their Friday pulpits to encourage their flock to commit violence in the name of Islam.
In Muslim societies, even the media become involved in the incitement to violence. MEMRI.org has translated thousands of articles from print and electronic media. These translated articles are filled with direct incitement to commit violence in the name of Islam.
Remarkably, some of the most glaring examples of incitement to violence come from new “converts” to Islam. Why would a new convert to Islam commit violence? The obvious answer is the “theological” incitement from their new religion — Islam’s core texts.
There is an unfortunate PC effort to deny, ignore and whitewash this Islam inspired violence. The amount of violence committed worldwide since 9/11 is simply too high to overlook.
EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN who does NOT want to lose your Country needs to know this enemy of our Republic and our people, and keep informed and get educated. Great websites:

tim gallagher says
I agree with everything you say, Mickey. And, of course, it applies to every non-Muslim, civilised nation, not just the USA. Keep Islam out of all non-Muslim countries. Islam is endlessly violent and murderous, a clear danger. 100% incompatible with our civilised way of life. Letting the Muslim enemy into our societies is truly idiotic. It can never be anything but a disaster, as it is proving to be everywhere in the world.

Singh the Sikh says
More American citizens face injury and death on home soil through terrorism than ever before in their history purely because of Muslim migration. The risk increases with increasing numbers of Muslim migrants and their offspring. It’s a statistical fact. It’s obvious what needs to be done to reduce the risk and protect Americans – keep the Muslims out. Which is what Trump is trying to do. Which is why CAIR hates him. CAIR doesn’t care about infidel American lives. CAIR wants to destroy America from within. It needs Muslim migrants to achieve this goal – the more migrants, the better to quickly get the job done. Trump is a threat to their plans for a takeover of the US. That’s where the revulsion for Trump springs from.
gravenimage says
Yes, Singh–terrorist attacks have historically been *extremely* rare in the US–a few Leftist and “Black Power” terror attacks in the 1970s, a few Nazi sabotage terror attacks right before WWII, and before that you really have to go back to the turn of the last century where there were a handful of Anarchist shootings and bombings.
All terrible, but *nothing like* the threat we now face from Jihad terror.

Isn’t this why CAIR’s statistics are skyrocketing? Because they are including things that are not considered hate crimes by the police, or the people involved, as well as incidents that do not involve Muslims, and things that have no witnesses, videos, or evidence of any kind.
Please report any televised appearance of CAIR to Citizens for Confronting CAIR on Television.

Muslims are also including fake hate crimes, where Muslims have said that some Infidel pulled off a Muslimah’s head scarf or put bacon on some Mosque doorknob, and it has proven to be falsified.

CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper: “Islamophobia” worse under Trump than after 9/11
…………………………
I’ve always found this particularly grotesque–if one did not know what 9/11 was, they would assume from this that it was some occasion were crazed Islamophobes attacked Muslims–instead of what it was, a horrifying unprovoked attack *by* Muslims targetting Infidels.
More:
No one can actually point to what Trump did that promoted bigotry against Muslims and so-called “Islamophobia,” other than exercise his right to protect Americans from jihadists (stealth and violent) and his recent recognition of the rights of Israel.
…………………………
Yes. If “moderate” Muslims *really* opposed Jihad, they would have no problem with this–yet we see over and over those standing against Jihad being smeared as “anti-Muslim”.
As for the “Islamophobic” attacks Hooper mentions, there are real problems with citing them.
In Portland, victim Ricky John Best is clearly an Infidel–as is Micah David-Cole Fletcher, who was wounded. The other victim was Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, who did take an “Introduction to Islam” class in college. His instructor noted “his desire to see how others view the world made him stand out”. This makes it clear that Namkai-Meche was not a Muslim, either.
So–this ‘attack on Muslims’ wasn’t.
As for Quebec, obviously Hooper hopes we will fail to notice that Quebec is not in the United States. If he is claiming that these attacks are being fomented by national leaders, then he must blame Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for this attack. (No, I don’t think Trudeau had anything to do with this–just that this must be the conclusion if one follows Hooper’s “logic”.
So–neither of these attacks were actually attacks on Muslims in the United States.
Obviously, CAIR actually has nothing at all, except for the unsubstantiated claim that more Muslim women would be wearing the head bag if they weren’t scared of “The Donald” roaming the streets and pulling them off…

We have, in the UK, some NGO group called ‘Tell Mama’ – which is exclusively, and solely a Muslim group for Muslims, to supposedly report islamaphobia. A great majority of reported cases are erroneous, surprisingly. The irony is – after attacks in Manchester and two in London, where is an NGO group to stop Kuffarphobia?!?!
tim gallagher says
It amazes me how the Muslim enemy seems to expect to be able to kill us non-Muslims in terrorist attacks, carry out rapes, etc, and yet keep claiming that it is unfair for Muslims to be hated by us, their victims, or that it’s unfair that there be bigotry or some other expression of dislike for Muslims. Boohoo. I guess I get the fact that this clown is just doing his revolting job of trying to advance the Muslims’ evil cause with some disinformation, but it is just such total BS. Muslims seem to have the idea that they can carry out their evil violence against us non-Muslims, but how dare we fight back in any way against their vile plans. It’s such a weird attitude. It must be that Muslim supremacism. The attitude seems to be that whatever the Muslims do is just fine, somehow beyond reproach. But we’re supposed to go on being nice to them. Islam is such a disgusting ideology. I’m proud to say I loathe the evil ideology, Islam, just as I loathe, say, Nazism and I am totally bigoted against Islam. That’s what Islam deserves from every decent human being.
