The term “Islamophobia” is used for two distinct and unrelated phenomena: vigilante attacks on innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the ways that jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful ones. The former are being used to shut down the latter.
“Erdogan calls for fight against Islamophobia like anti-Semitism,” Al Jazeera, March 22, 2019:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday called on the world to fight rising Islamophobia as they did against “anti-Semitism after the Holocaust”, following the attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand that killed 50 people.
“Just as humanity fought against anti-Semitism after the Holocaust disaster, it should fight against rising Islamophobia in the same determined fashion,” Erdogan told an emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
In a speech at the meeting of Muslim foreign ministers in Istanbul, Erdogan also praised the sensitivity shown by the New Zealand government and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in the wake of the attack.
“The empathy and solidarity shown by Ardern towards Muslims should be an example for all world leaders,” he said….
Kessler says
“islamophobia” only exists because Islam is fundamentally incompatible with pluralism and democracy. Evident in the fact that no muslim majority country allows free speech and religious equality.
Some muslims actively fight to remove these basic freedoms in our part of the world, and some of us are concerned and vocal about it. That’s when we receive the islamophobe stamp, and that’s when this term loses all credibility. Indeed, it is nothing but a tool to silence us in order to pave the way for more intolerance.
mortimer says
Excellent thoughts from Kessler. ‘Islamophobia’ is a substitute for ‘BLASPHEMY’ which is what this is actually about. Muslims are required to EXECUTE BLASPHEMERS without sparing them or excusing them.
The ‘Islamophobia’ accusation is a GATEWAY to FULL SHARIA BLASPHEMY LAWS.
The ‘Islamophobia’ accusation is a Trojan horse to implement Sharia law by degrees.
Wellington says
Antisemitism is real and Jews are not on some kind of warpath to make all the world Jewish. By contrast, Islamophobia is a fake term designed to shut up all criticism of the one religion which is indeed on a warpath to put all the world under its sway. The contrast between these two words, one rooted in truth and the other in lies, could not be greater.
mortimer says
Exactly. Wellington correctly identifies the POLITICAL GOAL of Islam (world conquest) versus the POLITICAL GOAL of the Hebrew Bible (to live in the land of Israel and live peacefully with their neighbours).
The Jewish political goal is thus quite modest, considering what a tiny sliver of land Israel is.
Muslims, on the other hand, WANT IT ALL. ISLAM IS A THREAT TO EVERYONE, while Jews pose ZERO threat to anyone (unless we’re speaking of my opponent’s lawyer).
Wellington says
Thank you, mortimer.
Yes, just considering the “real estate aspect” alone, the Jews have desired throughout their history an area of land that is about the size of Massachusetts (c, 8,000 square miles) or perhaps a little larger, about the size of Maryland (c. 10,500 square miles). Even the most extensive claims by the most ardent of Zionists (N.B., I am a Gentile but nonetheless also consider myself a Zionist, a term I look upon as a total positive), who want the West Bank, Gaza, the Golan Heights and even the Sinai, would still add up to only about the size of Indiana (c. 36,000 square miles). By contrast, Muslims, per their religion, seek the real estate of all the earth, which adds up to over 57,000,000 million square miles, the long and short of which here tends to prove that sometimes size really does matter.
Yes, the Jews are quite content with a very small fraction of 1% of the total land area of the earth while Mohammedans want it ALL. Talk about avarice, eh?

Good exchange, Mortimer and Wellington.

Holocaust? Has the Mad Turk become an apostate?
Mike Stevens says
Of course, the unpalatable truth for Erdogan and all the others is that there will NEVER be a world dominated by Islam, because so many Muslims hate each other as much, possibly even more, as they hate non-believers, and could never unite in a crusade against the non-Muslim world. For example, it’s impossible to imagine the biggest players, Saudia Arabia and Iran, ever coming together. Sunnis and Shias have been fighting and killing each other for 1400 years and that is not going to change now.
That’s not to deny that it is the biggest threat to the peace of stability of the non-Muslim world. But in the end, there can only be one winner.
mortimer says
There will never be a world dominated by Islam, because millions are leaving Islam every year and the Muslim birth rate is dropping. With two decades, the Muslim world will suffer an enormous crisis of faith and tens of millions of Muslims will abandon Islam each year.
Ex-Muslims are leading the way for other Muslims to abandon Islam.

DHIMMITUDE … “The empathy and solidarity shown by Ardern towards Muslims” … is grovelling so that New Zealand won’t lose a penny of any revenues from the lamb and goat business whose principal customers are Muslims.
Grovel, grovel, grovel.

Muslim p[population should be controlled
somehistory says
In the States, the moslim “reps” are rabidly anti-Semitic and are very vocal about it. They are not being made…at least, not yet…to shut up and keep their hatred to themselves.
However, this erdowan (he gets no respect from me) creep understands that most Americans are opposed to what these moslims in Congress are saying, although there doesn’t seem to be much the average citizen can do to put an end to it.
So, he has decided that Americans must be…and can be…made to feel the same way about the ‘phobia.’
He believes that if he can play on the emotions of the American people, make all equate the shootings in NZ with the horrors of the Holocaust, the battle for the minds will be won and no one will dare speak the Truth about islam any longer.
But there is no logic here…none in islam at all…as the Jews were slandered with anti-Semitic slogans, sayings, falsehoods, lies before hitler took total control and tried to kill all of them, as well as while he was having them rounded up and slaughtered.
People finally woke up and the Holocaust was over, the promise never to allow it again, and people were chastised if they said something like was said before hitler began his pogroms.
moslms, on the other hand, are the ones doing the slaughtering…much like some did along with hitler…of Jews, Christians in great and massive numbers, and others of the general public on the street, in shops, concerts, on beaches, hospitals, etc. moslims…not some powerful enemy of theirs…are the murderers and the fomenters of hatred and slander against …the Jews, Christians, people on the street, in the shops, etc.
But they don’t want people to ***talk*** about any of this, to speak the Truth about any of this, or even to question any of this.
erdowan and his fellow moslims want to be free to murder and rape and steal and destroy…and not be condemned for doing so…Thus they claim a “phobia” against themselves and try to say it is the same as the slander and lies against Jews before and during the time of hitler.
So many countries have come to the point that the Freedom to Speak….about islam…is banned or restricted or condemned. The moslim creeps in the U.S. Congress have that as a goal for the States and erdowan has climbed on their bandwagon to assist them. He feels now that NZ has come around to his way of thinking, so the U.S. should be next.
The U.S. is looked to by many people around the world. If he can just get Americans to stifle speech about the evils of islam…so goes any other corner of the world not yet towing his line.

Erdogan is a dangerous, dangerous man—which is an understatement.
To everyone here at JW, there is a new movie out in limited release called “Cliffs of Freedom”, which is about the start of the Greek War for Independence, and what life was like in Greece under Ottoman rule. I hope everyone gets a chance to see it—

Why don’t we just ban Islamophobia-phobia? That seems to be the real problem.

Why do therm “chinophobia” not exist? Because the Chinese don’t cause any problems like terrorist attacks, the Chinese don’t expect welfare, set up businesses, etc. Muslims expects welfare, benefits,.etc mostly do not work, are involved into criminal gangs, terrorism. Why should we like them?
Erdogan closed and seized christian churches, cloisters older than islam in Turkey, and this is “christianophobia”
na says
Is it possible to bring the Christians back to Istanbul??during Turks Invasion many Christians were deported from Constantinople. Israeli model(Aliyah), during[ exodus] Romans deported Jews.
Sharia is very complicated law. Sharia is allowed to apply with any other Government law. i saw one video 5 years back, head of Sharia Police scolding Police officer to implement the Islamic rule .. And another video they demanding the place where refugees are allowed to stay need to turn into a separate country.

Turkey slaughtered most of its Christian population a hundred years ago during the Armenian Genocide. There are *very* few surviving Christians in Turkey today.
ntesdorf says
anti-Semitism, anti-Armenianism, and anti-Christianity are at the very heart of Islam and Erdogan’s Turkey.
Savvy Kafir says
Humanity should fight against the increasing use of the WORD “Islamophobia” — and fight the spread of Islam, tooth & nail.
We should each make a point of publicly criticizing or ridiculing Islam every time we see someone use the words “Islamophobia” or “Islamophobe”.
Giacomo Latta says
The ”world” fought against anti-semitism after the Holocaust? So you’re admitting there was a Holocaust, Erdogan? Well, there’s a first time for every statement! Obviously your ”world” does not include ayatollahs, muftis and the like. Pull the other one, caliph wannabe.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Muhammad and his “islam” are “The Perfect Examples” of the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do double standards of HYPOCRISY.
“Islamophobia” according to the Qur’an itself, the sahih ahadith, and the four main maddhab fiqhs of sharia “law” (crime) is the #1 goal of islam itself.
But to the muslims’ Submissive leftopathic allies, you’re not allowed to notice it, and even trying to defend your self from the global crime and murder gang gets you labelled as “mentally ill” i.e: islamo-“phobic!”

Erdogan: “Just as humanity fought against anti-Semitism, it should fight against rising Islamophobia”

Just grotesquely laughable–there are few Jews surviving in Turkey, and Erdogan has been saber-rattling with Israel for years now. Remember the Gaza Jihad flotilla?

Humanity should fight against the rising supremacist stench that emanates from Erdogan.
