The word “Islamophobia” is commonly used for two distinct phenomena: the targeting of innocent Muslims in vigilante attacks, which is never justified, and the honest analysis of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence, which analysis is always justified and urgently necessary. Numan Kurtulmus is referring to “anti-refugee sentiments, xenophobia and Islamophobia,” which are “manifesting themselves in the form of hostility against Turkey and Turks.” He should ask himself why this “hostility,” insofar as it actually exists, has come about, when Europeans have been and continue to be welcoming of Hindu and other immigrants. Why is it only Muslims who end up coming into conflict with the society to which they migrate? If Kurtulmus wants to see an end to this “Islamophobia,” he could work to bring about an end to jihad terror attacks, Muslim migrant crime and violence, Muslim boasts of imminent conquest, etc. But he won’t.
“Turkey warns against growing Islamophobia in Europe,” Anadolu Agency, March 9, 2018:
Turkey’s culture and tourism minister on Friday warned against growing Islamophobia and anti-refugee sentiments in Europe.
“It is extremely worrying that in Europe, the rise of anti-refugee sentiments, xenophobia and Islamophobia are manifesting themselves in the form of hostility against Turkey and Turks,” Numan Kurtulmus said on Friday.
The Turkish minister visited Mevlana Mosque of Muslim-Turkish community in Berlin, which was badly damaged by an arson attack in 2014.
Kurtulmus said Muslims in Germany were worried over the rise of racism and growing number of xenophobic attacks in recent years.
He condemned a Molotov cocktail attack at a Turkish mosque in southern German city of Lauffen am Neckar on Thursday night, which caused a minor fire.
The Turkish minister said the rise of racists and anti-Muslim sentiments were undermining peaceful coexistence in the country.
“This is manifesting itself not only by the use of far-right rhetoric in politics. It is also a very dangerous development poisoning relations between the countries,” he said, referring to recent tensions between Ankara and Berlin.
Kurtulmus called on German politicians and civil society organizations to take a stronger stance against xenophobic and Islamophobic hate crimes.
Germany has witnessed growing Islamophobia and hatred of migrants in recent years triggered by a propaganda from far-right and populist parties, which have exploited fears over the refugee crisis and terrorism….

One thing Muslims are badly lacking is self-reflection. How would they react if millions of Christians illegally entered Turkey and demanded the Country to become Christian?
Georg says
Great question.
Norger says
Orthodox Islam translates to no capacity for self-awareness or self criticism. Islam is so convinced of its own perfection that any criticism (including satire) must be silenced,by violence if necessary.
Parker. says
That is why islam is more a psychological disorder than a religion
Richard says
Any religion should feel that way about itself. To feel otherwise would be to admit your religion is a fraud … which Islam is.
J D S says
One would hope that the world would soon see that the lying these so called Muslim leaders share and are so used to would soon be found out…Most likely any damage to Muslim properties was actually done by themselves……They want so badly to prove that non Muslims are out to do harm go them and their properties that they can hardly hold still. Stupid Is as stupid Is as stupid does.
CRUSADER says
Turkey is well named!
It is full of a bunch of Jive-Turkeys!
Turks should stay on their side of the Bosphorus Strait.
And keep their thoughts and mouthings to themselves.
“JIVE TURKEY!”

“YEAH”
Pet Charles says
Let me get this straight: “Germany has witnessed growing Islamophobia and hatred of migrants in recent years triggered by a propaganda from far-right and populist parties, which have exploited fears over the refugee crisis and terrorism….” So now the so called “far right” is responsible for articulating “fears over the refugee crisis and terrorism”? Most believe that no more foreign funded mosques should be allowed in any non majority Islamic country, and that terrorist attacks should be responded to with extremely harsh measures imposed on the terrorists and their supporters.

Normal europeans warn against growing christophobia and baconphobia inside and outside Europe.

In other words, Erdogan opened the gates to let in a flood of “asylum seekers” to enlighten the Europeans on the wonders of Islam, which he strongly believes they should appreciate. Europe will be a North Cypress in the not too distant future unless a stop is put to the current process, which is the opposite of 1492, the Battle of Tours, and the Gates of Vienna.
Elizabeth Lawson says
Mr. Erdogan is a trouble maker of the first order. His hegemonic aspirations are clearly seen in his conduct. The title King Erdogan would suit him very well. As for that fabricated word, “ Islamaphobia” – constructed by antiChristian CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood, it was only a matter of time for even the gullible and the obtuse to see it for what it is – a tool to facilitate the unencumbered growth of a radical movement. The followers of radical Islam – Muslims, have assaulted, murdered, raped and burned their way across the world, there is no country where they have taken up residence that has been left untouched by their atrocities. Equally, there is NO country, or people, left in doubt as to whom this ‘phobia’ should be attached…..the aggressors must think that the victims of these primitive killers are quite mad – they, and we, are NOT. WE know who the perpetrators of these vicious acts are, and they are not the foolish and obtuse “ islamaphobes”
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
It is not only Islamapobia, but real neonazi hate propagandas against muslims, especially in the evil united states. Happily, the promoters of such hate propagandas against muslims are becoming tiny minority and are being isolated with intellectual reasonings.
Parker. says
So called Islamophobia is merely telling the truth about Moslems and Islam, as well as these rapefugees perpetrate way more hate crime and violence against the citizens of their host countries than they receive. The simple solution for you and your faux victims is move back to an Islamic country

“islamomaniac” – Like it. Good word.

someone here, I forget who, suggested it and that as well: islamomania, islamophrenic, islamophrenia, find their way into our vocabulary
Norger says
Unfortunately the promoters of this alleged propaganda (e.g.Robert Spencer) are not “being isolated with intellectual reasons.” Spencer’s opponents are generally incapable of engaging with him on any substantive or “intellectual” level. The current strategy for the Islamists and their useful idiot dhimmi accomplices for dealing with the likes of Robert Spencer—who offers nothing but intellectual analysis of Islamic theology—is to deny them a platform to even discuss views. They are aided by the political elite and the MSM, who want nothing to do with any genuinely objective analysis of the obvious connection between Islamic theology and Islamic terrorism. It’s the opposite of intellectual reasoning; it’s fascism.
Your insinuation that being Islamo-critical makes one a neo-Nazi is an perfect example of the kind of “intellectual” arguments that are made against opponents of jihad terror. No one this site, least of all Robert Spencer, advocates violence against Muslims. Demonizing someone as a “neo-Nazi” is not “intellectual reasoning;” it’s just an ad hominem attack. Muslims cannot tolerate critical intellectual analysis of their religion, particularly by non-Muslims; that’s the problem.
Richard says
I am sure such people as Robert Spencer, Jamie Glazov and Ani Cyrus would be very happy to have web sites on other subjects, or simply to sit back and enjoy their lives, if there were not so very many instances of Islamic violence coming in hourly from all over the world. These anti-Islamic stories are not little drips of blood here and there. They are a Niagara Falls of horrors one cannot keep up with. Pointedly, I don’t read any Muslim denying they ever happened, just that mentioning them is “Islamophobia”. True. If we did not know about them, we would have nothing to be afraid of … until the Muslims came for us, and then it would be too late. Thank you,”Islamophobes”!
Indiana Tom says

Yeah, I can tell the Muslims and the Antifa are really reasoning with us.
epistemology says
Islamophobia has nothing to do with xenophobia, people only don’t want Islamic terrorism as Islam is the the only religion on this planet that promotes violence against people who don’t adhere to their stupid creed. Islam is the only religion that is first and foremost a Nazi ideology. We had enough Nazis in Europe and we don’t want them again, so no Islam in Europe.
A_German says
Sorry, but more and more people wake up and see the evils of that supremacist death cult calling itself Islam.
LeftisruiningCanada says
But not from you Ibrahim.
Parker says
Simple solution, Moslem “immigrants” should behave themselves or better yet, find one of the 57 glorious Islamic countries to move to
utis says
Is this speech the groundwork for an excuse to attack Europe (in the name of defending Turks), or just a smokescreen to hide Erdogan’s interest in reconquering the Western Ottoman holding?
All those Turkish enclaves in Germany and other European areas are potential fifth columns for a Turkish onslaught. Europeans should beware, but they’re probably already dead.
Peter says
The problem is Islamic I N F I D E L P H O B I A, hatred, and delusional supremacism, and all the nasty predatory behaviors that stem from them.
Richard says
Brilliant!! I hope others take up your wonderful term and use it.
Mockingjay says
– If ANYONE uses “far-right rhetoric in politics” its bloody Receipt Erdogan.
But since this is ISLAMIC, “oriental” far-right rhetoric, it won’t be NAMED as such.
And if it is never NAMED as such, islamic “far-right rhetoric” simply DOES NOT EXIST in the view of the general (Western) public – and certainly not in the view of turkish- and other muslims.
Words shape reality. These vile deceiver turks know that damn well.
Davegreybeard says
Not to be overly pedantic about it APF, but please consider the following:
1492 was the Battle of Granada, when the Muslims were ejected from Spain.
732 was the battle of Tours, when the invading Muslim hordes were stopped from further incursions into France by Charles “The Hammer” Martel.
1683 was the Battle of Vienna, where King John Sobieski stopped a Muslim army from invading Europe on its Eastern Flank.
I do enjoy your posts old buddy.

Wouldn’t worry about so called islamophobia none too much. Growing Turkish power though, that ought to keep people awake at night.
Indiana Tom says
“It is extremely worrying that in Europe, the rise of anti-refugee sentiments, xenophobia and Islamophobia are manifesting themselves in the form of hostility against Turkey and Turks,” ….and Erdogan is an agent provocateur in this phenomenon.
Cameron says
If Nazis or Communists start infiltrating or invading and causing chaos and violence, people defending their families, homes, communities, cultures and traditions aren’t labeled “Naziphobes” or “Commiephobes”. Islamic expansionism and supremacism is just as unwelcome as any other agressive supremacist creed that is hateful and intolerant of others.
Terry Gain says
If you talk about the insanity and violence in our “religion” we will kill you, if the circumstances permit, or whine and complain about Islamophobia. Submit Now.
Norger says
Exactly. We’ll do everything possible to silence you, from soft claims of offense taking to violent intimidation. Whatever works.
Manos says
To hell with Turks and Muslim scum. Islam is pure evil. Turk ErDogan claim about islamophobia, what about the massacre of Greeks, Assyrians, Armenians, Kurds, Jews from 1919 to 1952. The bloody invasion and occupation of Cyprus. The threats and air violations to Greek and Cypriot territories. And threats of invasion of Greece. I blame all pathetic western leaders including Bibi and trump, bowing to Islamic threats. Need to adopt Burmese style military junta, then eradicate all Muslims in all non Muslim lands. To hell with human rights, left wing Marxism liberal crap.

And Erdogan was just confiming the other day that Muslims can beat women, and saying that no one has the right to criticize the savagery of Islam:
“Erdogan denounces critic of Sharia mistreatment of women: ‘Nobody has the right to accuse our religion”

Turkey warns that people are starting to figure the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence.
These so-called refugees are not in Europe seeking safety from Christians in their homelands, that is for sure. So who are they seeking refuge from? Their fellow muslims? And so according to the turks these refugees are islaophobes, or something else completely.
Heidi says
Since 1961 Turks live in Germany and have not managed to speak German properly let alone adhere to the laws or Lifestyle. Most of their women are oppressed and they behave like they are in an Islamic Country and not guests in a civil Society. All they can do is cry like Little children if they don’t get their way. That starts with the children in School who are raised in the believe they are the owners of Germany. What is Islam? Nothing but a trouble maker all over the world. Look at their dilapidated countries. So our stupid politicians have the guts to tell us that the Turks rebuild Germany after the war. I strongly believe that, if we would have depended on them to rebuilt our country, it still would look like 1945. They want to take over the Police Forces, Courts, army and public Offices and our braindead leftist politicians loan them a helping Hand with the Antifa marching at the front. Fortunately the People are finally waking up and start to Rally. The Word they always use most is “HONOR”. It is remarkable that they defend something so fiercly that they have almost nothing of. Those Turks who are openly Rally for Erdogan should be ousted from Germany because unwelcome guests and fish have something in common: after three days they start to stink. Why do they want to live in an open societyif they don’t want an open Society? They serve as the Trojan horse.
Charles T Lawson says
ITS INFIDELOPHOBIA THATS THE PROBLEM ,NOT ISLAMOPBOBIA
GET THE NEW WORD OUT ( INFIDELOPHOBIA )
Peter says
There’s no such thing as ‘islamophobia’. It is a control word used by the Liberal/Left and by muslims to try and silence and shout down any criticism of islam by inferring that there is something wrong with you.
A phobia is an irrational fear or hatred. Women, jews, gays and non-believers have good reason to fear islam which hates them all, it is a cancerous, intolerant, divisive, violent, supremacist, hateful, backward and misogynistic ideology with a track record of intolerance and actual violence, and threats of violence to anyone who dares to challenge or criticise it.
Opposition to islam is entirely, and demonstrably, rational. Indeed, given the irrationality of islam, opposition is actually a defence of rationality.

“Kurtulmus said Muslims in Germany were worried over the rise of racism and growing number of xenophobic attacks in recent years.”
You have to admire the chutzpah!! Non-muslims in Germany and other countries in Europe where there are large numbers of muslims have been victims of numerous terror attacks from muslims (bombings, knife attacks, vehicle attacks, gun attacks) and thousands of underage English girls have been raped and tortured by muslim men. Yet muslims are the victims?????????????
Heidi says
Peter, that is their way. They cause problems and feel victimized. They are never are at fault and as white as a newborne lamb, it is always someone elses fault and with those leftists in office they get away with it. Merkel and her entourage want to resolve the problems? They forget that they are the biggest problem and the way it looks like she going to be reelected as chancellorette on 14 March.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Since ‘islamophobia’ is just a code word for “the kuffar are on to us”, all Erogan means is that Europeans are starting to notice the invasion.
Cunningly, this one code word allows him to gain the ear of the Left, and have them further attack the very ones who are realizing the danger.
I don’t think that propaganda has ever had a better implementation than the word ‘islamophobia”.
