Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Turkish ambassador to European security organization OSCE says “public should be told that Islamophobia is a crime”

Jan 12, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The problem is that “Islamophobia” is a propaganda neologism that is used by its purveyors to refer to two distinct phenomena: harassment of innocent Muslims and violence against them, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror. The goal is to use efforts against the former to silence the latter, so that no one will dare speak out against the advancing jihad for fear of incurring charges of “Islamophobia,” and that jihad can advance unimpeded and unopposed.

“‘West should be told Islamophobia is a crime,'” by Muhammet Ikbal Arslan, Anadolu Agency, January 10, 2019:

The West public should be told that Islamophobia is a crime, said newly appointed Turkish ambassador of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) on Friday.

“It is necessary to tell the Western public in all ways needed that Islamophobia is a crime,” Mehmet Pacaci, OSCE’s senior representative to combat intolerance and discrimination against Muslims, told Anadolu Agency.

Pacaci was appointed to the post on Thursday by Slovakia, who has taken over the 2019 Chairmanship of the OSCE.

During his term, he said, they are going to conduct field researches on the subjects of Islamophobia and intolerance against Muslims.

The reports of the researches would be brought to the agenda of the OSCE, he added.

Noting that there was a high rise in Islamophobic incidents over the recent years, Pacaci said: “Turkey has always been closely following these incidents.”

He went on to say that Turkish Presidency, Foreign Ministry and other relevant institutions gave great importance to this issue.

Islamophobia not given importance

“Actually, Islamophobia needs to be accepted as a hate crime. It is a clear fact that anti-Islamism isn’t given importance as much as anti-Semitism,” Pacaci said, adding that European countries should show some effort in this regard.

“The public should be told in appropriate ways that Islamophobia is a crime. It would be a comprehensive and long-term effort,” he said….

    Rape is a crime. Free speech isn’t.

      Agree with M. However, THE FEAR OF MUSLIMS AND OF THE POWER OF ISLAM is the WILL OF ALLAH …

      K.8:60 Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorise the infidels

      K.8:12 Strike terror in the hearts of the unbelievers.

      Commentary on K.8.12 … (Allah will cast fear, disgrace and humiliation over those who defied his command and denied Muhammad—ibn Kathir); smite the unbelievers at their necks (i.e., behead the unbelievers—ibn Kathir) and cut off their fingers (cut off their heads, limbs, hands and feet—ibn Kathir. Terror means fear of Muhammad and his companions—ibn Abbas).

      Mohammed said, “I was made victorious through TERROR.” – Bukhari 4.52.220

      (Nice try, Muslim apologists … but we read your books.)

      THE RIGHT TO BLASPHEME IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT.

      The right to blaspheme religion is one of the most elemental exercises of political liberalism. One cannot defend the right without defending the practice.

        Yes. Islamophobia is not a crime. It is a crime the many crimes islam did and does all over the world.

    This whole thing of Islamophobia is an invention to silence true and accurate speech and criticism of Islam. This is nonsense trying to make Islamophobia a crime. All it does is restrict free and truthful speech.

      But is KAFIR-O-PHOBIA a crime also???

      Is it not HATRED of KAFIRS when Mohammedans practice AL WALAA WAL BARAA ???

      -Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

      – Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and hate the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”

      – from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”

      – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”

      – from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to SHOW ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
      (Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their ENMITY or HATRED towards the kufaar)

    The rape of non muslims by muslims is vastly increased these last few decades and the problem is endemic to muslim populations in Europe. This is the problem that is vastly unexplored and discussed by that organisation.

    • mortimer says

      Jan 12, 2019 at 8:04 pm

      Response to mgoldberg: The reason Muslims do not think it a crime to rape kafirs is because SHARIA LAW does not consider it a crime. There is NO PUNISHMENT in Sharia against a Muslim who rapes a kafir.

  4. Jaladhi says

    Jan 12, 2019 at 4:29 pm

    And Muslims should be told Kafirofobia is a crime,

    • mortimer says

      Jan 12, 2019 at 8:07 pm

      Response to Jaladhi: KAFIROPHOBIA is an ‘ESSENTIAL’ doctrine of Islam … meaning that Muslims have a religious DUTY to HATE KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’ … if they do not ‘HATE KAFIRS’, Muslims will not be permitted into Islamic paradise.

      HATING KAFIRS is compulsory, normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

      Muslims all HATE KAFIRS secretly (or they are not practicing Islam).

      Over 60% of Islam is already ILLEGAL in most countries … FGM, jihad, extortion, Sharia discrimination, second-class Dhimmitude, etc.

      INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS CODES CONDEMN ISLAM IN LAW and are thus inherently ‘ISLAMOPHOBIC’.

  6. somehistory says

    Jan 12, 2019 at 4:54 pm

    moslims should be made to know…whether they agree or not…that murder, rape, extortion, and all things islam…are crimes, punishable by law.

    moslims…including the speaker and the writer…should be made to know, that everyone has the God-given “right” to speak freely. To speak freely means allowed to say such things as “I dislike moslims” and not be arrested. To say what the evil, nasty book says and not be arrested and charged with “hate speech.” To be allowed to say that islam has a fake prophet who raped children and murdered many people and not be charged with a crime. To be allowed to say that the mass-murdering raper of children didn’t hear any angels speaking to him, that he made it all up and not be killed or imprisoned for saying it.

    moslims wish to control the world. One of the first things they see they must do in order to control the world, is to control speech. They want everyone to stop telling the truth about them and their code and their book and their so-called prophet. They must force this if they are to control the world and all of earth’s people.

    • mortimer says

      Jan 12, 2019 at 8:12 pm

      The Universal Declaration of Human Rights inherently condemns Sharia law and can be considered ‘Islamophobic’ for that reason. International law condemning JIHAD TERRORISM is also inherently ‘ISLAMOPHOBIC’ … Jihad is NORMATIVE Islam, rather than an aberration.

    Turkish ambassador to European security organization OSCE says “public should be told that Islamophobia is a crime”
    …………………….

    In other words, saying anything critical of the horrors of Islam is criminalized under brutal Shari’ah law–which this Mohammedan wants to see imposed in Europe.

  8. CogitoErgoSum says

    Jan 12, 2019 at 5:17 pm

    Just what sort of action constitutes Islamophobia? Would simply saying you don’t like Islam constitute Islamophobia? And what would be the penalty for someone found guilty of Islamophobia? Might it be death or forced conversion to Islam or payment of the Jizya to a Muslim in a humiliating manner?

    I don’t fear Islam; I hate it. My fear concerns Muslims who lie about Islam and just exactly what it demands of not just them but every single human being on the planet — submission to the Quran in one form or another.

    Jan 12, 2019 at 5:26 pm

    And the Turks should be told that ..the evil ,murderous, antisocial, bigoted, cult of islam has no place in the west,”islamophobia” is invented nonsense,there should be a moratorium on any further hideous Soddy-funded mosque building{…which are in essence Temples to the false moslem god of hate, baal}..,political islamist groups should be proscribed immediately in the interests of National Security and starved of the oxygen of publicity,pro-islamist apologists should be deported and the Turkish ambassador should mind his own islamic business…

    Islam is a crime against humanity. Islam is the greatest crime-gang in history. “Islamophobia” is not only a non existent mental condition, it is also an insult to every infidel who is opposed to the Islamic expansion program.

  11. Wellington says

    Jan 12, 2019 at 6:30 pm

    The term “Islamophobia” is bogus and just one more way of insuring that kuffaars end up say nothing negative about Islam.

    But Islam is not bogus; no it is not. Rather, it arguably represents the greatest ideological crime against humanity in the history of the human race and over the longest period of time—and in the name of religion no less.

    If what I just stated is deemed “Islamophobic,” I will be very proud that it is, though I would contend that “Islamonausea” is a far, far, far more accurate term for expressing opposition to Islam than is the garbage term, the deceitful term, “Islamophobia.”

    As ever I remain

    A proud Islamonausean,

    Mehmet Pacaci (OSCE’s senior representative to combat intolerance and discrimination against Muslims) is conducting VERBAL JIHAD and the JIHAD OF THE PEN (legal jihad).

    The goal of Mehmet Pacaci is to REMOVE THE HUMAN RIGHT OF FREE EXPRESSION from WOMEN and KAFIRS.

    “public should be told that Islamophobia is a crime”

    And the turkish public should be told that islam is a crime against humanity.
    “Crimes against humanity are certain acts that are deliberately committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack or individual attack directed against any civilian or an identifiable part of a civilian population.”

    Deafening silence from our political class.

    Is it possible that there is not one single Western politician who stands his ground and tells this Turkish mug to shove his phoney “Islamophobia” where the sun don’t shine?

  19. James says

    Jan 13, 2019 at 8:28 am

    People have a right to dislike any ideas they disagree with as long as they do not use violence to fight them. Most people in the West disagree with and dislike a wide range of Muslim practices based on the Koran, Hadith and Sira. So, perhaps for these books critique of Islam is a hate crime. However, Turkey or other Muslim countries have no right to create laws in Western countries. If people cannot discuss their ideas and express them openly, we have the basis of a despotism. Orwell described how manipulation of language was a means to control people’s thought in totalitarian countries.

    Islamic Infidelphobia is criminal; Islamophobia is a natural reaction to Islamic supremacy and depredations. 80% of humanity has a fundamental right to self-preservation and self-defense against Islamic violence, jihad, terror, slavery, subjugation, destruction, extirpation, etc.

  23. Islamaphone says

    So it’s a crime to have a phobia about jihadists who are in turn excused for their actions because of mental issues?
