Why is California so anxious to celebrate Muslims? Because of the widespread assumption on the Left that they are victims of regular persecution, harassment and discrimination in the U.S. This is false, but the claim is a potent weapon that leads to Islamopandering such as we see here.
“California Celebrates Islam Once Again, but SURPRISE, No Christian or Jewish Month,” by Donna Russell, CBN News, August 21, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
California is currently celebrating Muslim Appreciation Month, thanks to some very Islam-friendly lawmakers.
“My friends and neighbors continue to experience harassment on a daily basis for no other reason than being Muslim. This resolution is an opportunity to look beyond the hate, the negative headlines and the hurtful rhetoric,” said California Assemblymember Dr. Bill Quirk.
He is one of three sponsors of the measure that recognized August 2018 as Muslim American Appreciation and Awareness Month. Assemblymembers Kansen Chu and Ash Kalra joined him in promoting the bill.
Muslim-American Aziz Akbari joined them on the Assembly floor to celebrate the passage of the bill. He is the youngest Muslim American to be elected into public office in the country.
“For the Muslim American community to thrive, we rely not only on having representation in each body of government, but also on having strong allies who will voice our concerns and be there to support us. Assemblymember Quirk has been one of the strongest allies of our community, and I tremendously appreciate the work that he has done,” said Akbari, according to Quirk’s website.
“It is because of our community’s support that young Muslims, like me feel comfortable and resilient enough to run for elected office – especially given the incendiary rhetoric we hear about our community on the national level,” he said.
But Carol Brown with American Thinker says it’s not that simple. She says Californians are going out of their way “even more than normal – to kowtow to Islam as they celebrate a contrived notion about Muslim contributions to our society.”
This is the third year California has decided Muslims are deserving of special honor by the government. Brown writes it’s a perfect example of political correctness as “madness rules the day” in California….

LET’S ALL *APPRECIATE* the following FACTS about Islam:
1 No Golden Rule 2 No free speech 3 No democracy 4 Jihad – holy war of supremacism 5 Honour killings 6 Taqiyya – sacred lying 7 Taqlid – group think 8 Circular reasoning 9 Misogyny – repression of women 10 Rape of kafirs as jihad prizes 11 Genocide 12 Ethnic cleansing 13 Al-Walaa wal-Baraa – Islamic apartheid 14 Torture 15 Plundering 16 Cruel and unusual punishments 16 Backwardness – stagnation 17 Violence against women 18 Slavery 19 Discriminatory Sharia law 20 Hatred of the arts 21 No music 22 Pedophilia disguised as child marriage 23 Fifty generations of cousin marriage and genetic defects 24 Cruelty to animals 25 Extortion tax to humiliate disbelievers 26 No historic basis 27 Anti-intellectual obscurantism 28 FGM 29 Arab racism 30 Theocratic totalitarianism 31 Vigilantism 32 Amoral, opportunistic character of Mohammed that all Muslims must imitate 33 Hatred of non-Muslims as an essential doctrine 34 History of Islam includes the genocidal murders of 270 million non-Muslims in Islamic holy wars, terrorism, persecutions and enslavement directed against non-Muslims. 35. Holy books of Islam contain more calls for violence than all other foundational religious texts.

All true, Mortimer.
Aussie Infidel says
Mortimer, How very true!. And since ‘9/11’, there have been over 33,700 deadly jihadist attacks against unbelievers – ie anyone who isn’t a Muslim, or from the same Islamic sect. Over 100,000 people have been killed and many times more wounded and maimed for life.
Are the ‘useful idiots’ promoting this scheme simply ignorant and touting for votes from Muslims? Or are they simply traitors to their own country and civilization?
Ezra says
Well put. I hope you will grant permission to use those points as I intend to write my California reps in this regard.
J D S says
Yes Mortimer….At least 35 reasons that our government should be taking a closer look at islam.
They will not do it though I doubt that even a handful of elected officials even know 1 or 2 of the 35.
D J says
How do I appreciate Islam?
Intellectually roasted!
Thankyou Mortimer.
Louise Mitchell says
AMEN
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
August is Muslim Appreciation Month and we’re only finding out about it on August 24? That’s barely enough time to go to a gay bakery and have them design a jihad cake.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says

LOL
Please give generously to save the gay whales!

I noticed that as well, Mark.
Geoffrey Britain says
How could a gay bakery object? Everyone KNOWS that jihad is the peaceful introspection of the devotee in how they might better enhance their faithfulness…
CogitoErgoSum says
Yeah, I appreciate that Muslims are in the minority in my country so I don’t have to submit to their religion, pay them the Jizya or be put to death by them. I’d also be very appreciative of anyone who will work to keep them from fighting against me all the time (see Quran 9:29) when all I want to do is live in peace (without begging for their permission).
mgoldberg says
In france, a women burned to death in fire after the firefighters were harassed, obstructed and otherwise
criminally prevented from fighting the fire and saving a life. This is a muslim derived theme in their communities. This is not some rarity, some cherry picked oddity of vulgar criminality there. This is some very ordinary muslim inspired criminality, lack of civility to authorities other than muslim one’s causing the demise of others. This is what California is inviting into its orbit and will get indeed what it brings into that orbit quite soon.
Indiana Tom says
Silly, this was probably an Amish Wilding. Surely the religion of Peace would never do such a thing.

Hear, hear, CogitoErgoSum!
Texan Forever says
Most people don’t realize that Obama was secretly waging jihad from within the White House itself for eight years. As an Indonesian student Muslim he was required to study the Koran every day. Terrible damage was done to America during his usurpation of the presidency.

No Muzzies Here says
I just can’t bring myself to fully appreciate the myriad benefits to our country that the presence of millions of Muslims has bestowed upon it. It seems to have something to do with the fact that the media has suppressed all news stories about these wonderful benefits that we love so much, going back to the second week of September, 2011 on a bright Tuesday in New York.
G179 says
The perfect gift to celebrate Muslim appreciation month: Robert Spencer’s new book on the history of Jihad.
Read and admire how the brave Muslims forced their religion on many millions of people while casting terror into the hearts of the unbelievers.
gravenimage says
Spot on.
Bev says
There is no such thing as a Muslim-American. You can either be Muslim or you can be American but you cannot be both. The reason you cannot be both is because Sharia law which Muslims are required to follow, is in complete contradiction to our Constitutional Republic. They have already sworn allegiance to Allah, and cannot swear allegiance (in their heart), to any other.
Wellington says
Agreed. I would say the same thing about one who embraces Nazism or Marxism because both of these ideologies, like Islam, are inimical to what America stands for and all three (Islam, Nazism and Marxism) are totalitarian ideologies which, if given the opportunity, would either get rid of the Constitution or gut it to such an extent (e.g., making the Orwellian distinction between freed speech and hate speech) so that it no longer has any meaning.
Begone, Islam, from America because you have no place here in this free country, freedom being something Islam has no understanding of. I challenge anyone to make the argument that Islam and freedom can be reconciled. I say it is impossible.
gravenimage says
True, Bev and Wellington.
Wellington says
Muslims appreciation month? Uh-huh.
Just more evidence that all those defending Islam, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, are desperate. I mean could anything be clearer?
Indiana Tom says

So how about an Amish Appreciation Month?

We don’t have any Amish here–but I’d take them any time over Muslims.
Indiana Tom says
We have lots of Amish and I do prefer them to Muslims. I have relatives that are Mennonites and Dunkers which are not as far removed from the Amish as first thought.
pemba says
It should read to be Muslims/Islamic depreciating month.
For what appreciation for Muslims?
Killing my cousin at West Gate Mall in Nairobi for not being able to recite Islamic Shaada.
gravenimage says
I am so sorry, Pemba.
And these Muslims will visit this kind of horror everywhere.

California again declares August Muslim Appreciation Month, still no Jewish, Christian, Hindu or Buddhist months
………………………
In fact, there are fewer Muslims here than there are Jews, Hindus, or Buddhists.
Sometimes it really is embarrassing to live here.
Pet Charles says
Who or what is a “Muslim-American”? Is it the same as an “Italian American, Irish American, etc”?
gravenimage says
Nope. Those people can be loyal Americans.
Indiana Tom says
Nazi-American.
gravenimage says
Well, not them.
KWJ says
More of this “positive discrimination” or a kind of affirmative action for a religion. The emphasis on ‘Muslim’ just separates and most people couldn’t care less for X appreciation months. I think it’s counterproductive and it doesn’t change opinions.
When Islam is being pushed in schools, when political candidates and all the Muslim organizations and mosques have shady ties, trying to quash free speech, propagandizing Islam and all sorts of disturbing things, a Muslim Appreciation Month doesn’t mean much because those things are sovsignificant. Of course, Muslims don’t acknowledge these things and why people get fed up, and it’s easier to play the victim rather than examine uncomfortable realities. Smart Muslims would decline supporting this resolution.
Lydia Church says
I don’t celebrate anything but Christianity, every month, and every day.
Yes this news item is a sign of increasing evil.
And at the same time, if no one goes along with them, they won’t get very far.
dan christensen says
Muslim are victims of regular persecution, harassment and discrimination in Sweden!!!
I recall a young male ‘refugee’ arriving in Stockholm a year ago. Somehow he was interviewed there some months after his arrival. He stated that he was extremely annoyed over the Swedish government – he had expected to get a free apartment, an interesting job, a nice car plus a goodlooking female for companionship. Now he felt victim to Swedish racism and exploitation, because he himself would have to work hard in order to acquire these for him necessary commodities. His trafficker in human beings had promised all these things, so the poor man was deeply disappointed with Sweden!!!
Garfield says
Whats horrifying also is Swedes seem ready to APOLOGIZE to migrants who want to rape and plunder their country. They buy into the insanity. I cannot convince my father who lives there that there is a problem. He thinks they are MISUNDERSTOOD and suffering from stress. I have asked him to read this site. He wont. He thinks everyone is equal and will all get along once they realize how nice it is there. He thinks the comfortable apartments and Swedish holiday celebrations will turn them into kind and decent people.
WTF, Dad!???!

Grimly true, Dan.

What we really need is a Muslim-Free month each year.
StellaSaidSo says
What, only one?
gravenimage says
I’d like my year to be Muslim free.
FYI says
Well,perhaps we should all here subscribe to a..
“Robert Spencer/JihadWatch appreciation” month.
In honor of the excellent work done by Robert Spencer et al.
I’m even thinking of inviting those muslim trolls and leftards.SPLC won’t be invited as they are too busy 1.underming our freedoms and 2.failing to get the irony of trying to shut down JW when JW is at the forefront of the fight AGAINST islamic anti-semitism and jihadist terrorist violence.Apparently the Far Leftard minds of the SPLC clansmen do not understand that: just as the islamic mind cannot fathom the concept of obeying even one of the actual God’s official moral commandments.
I have already started the festivities..{Avoiding first a breakfast with any kellogs kommunist kornflakes products;I’m sure George “I want it ALL” soros loves them!}…with a glass of wine,a bacon sandwich and a new book to read:”the History of jihad:from muhammed to isis”.
Have you read it yet?
Happy RS-JW MONTH!
James Whitney says
Take the state of California to court for discrimination.

Where there is Islam, there is violence and death. Where there is violence and death, there often is Islam.

I would enthusiastically advocate for a “islam AWARENESS month”. Same goes for educating our children on the TRUTH about islam.
If only the truth were allowed.

Robert, you missed out the Sikhs.There are many in California.
Carol Brown is correct.

Nicholas A.Sayles says
The klan is mostly gone . The Nazi aka Democrats need a military wing just like the klan.The problem is the klan went a Christian church on Sunday.They believed in Jesus.The Islamic bitches don’t. They will kill the stupid dead poor bastards , just like they were trained, just like they have for 1400 years. 270,000,000people have been killed by these bitches. Under cover of a safe for immegrents state the bastards of Calif. are going to drink the koolaid. The real ironic thing is they will kill the jews first. And amazing enough the jews of Hollywood were working hand in glove with Hitler until 1941,to deceive the world the real intensions of Hitler.Hitler controlled all movie productions regarding all referances to Germany.What has changed??
