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

Organization of Islamic Cooperation urges UN to declare “Islamophobia” a form of racism

Mar 24, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Racism is hating someone or denying services to someone gratuitously, because of his or her race. Islam is not a race, and there are Muslims of all races. Islam is a belief system. If the UN goes for this, and it very well may, it will classify analysis of how that belief system incites some of those who believe in it to violence as “racism” and “Islamophobia.” But this analysis is not gratuitous dislike for or discrimination against anyone; it is simply an attempt to discover the root causes of jihad terrorism.

The freedom of speech, and free societies in general, will be lost to this kind of muddled thinking, which is really an attempt to force non-Muslim countries to accept Sharia blasphemy restrictions on criticism of Islam.

“OIC urges UN to tackle Islamophobia, declare it a form of racism,” Express Tribune, March 23, 2019:

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Saturday urged the UN Secretary General to convene a special session of the UN General Assembly to declare Islamophobia as a form of racism and to assign a special rapporteur for monitoring and combating the menace in the western countries.

The Emergency Meeting of the OIC Executive Committee, convened in Istanbul, also strongly condemned the “horrendous and despicable Islamophobic terrorist attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand”.

The meeting concluded with a unanimous call that the OIC must play a proactive role in countering demonisation and denigration of Islam and Muslims and adopt a comprehensive strategy in this regard, Radio Pakistan reported.

A final communiqué, issued at the conclusion of the conference, appreciated the New Zealand government for its unequivocal condemnation of the terrorist attacks. It called upon all member states to respect the freedom of religion of all Muslims and not to deny them the right to exercise their civil and cultural rights.

All presumptions of guilt or attributions of potential crimes, extremism and terrorism to ordinary Muslims were also firmly rejected….

The foreign minister said that the rise in Islamophobia in the western countries and India had morphed into violent expression of this abhorrent manifestation of racism. “The international media must refrain from propagating narratives of stigmatisation of Muslims and their negative stereotyping,” he emphasised.

The foreign minister called upon the global Muslim community to douse fire with water, falsehood with truth, bigotry with understanding and intolerance with compassion….

    In that case, when Allah in Al Qur’an (98:6) declares that all non-Muslims are ‘ …. the worst of creatures ..’, He is being racist, right?

    What’s sauce for the goose …. etc ……

      islamophobia, correctly translated, means fear of islam. which i firmly believe they brought upon themselves. .all one reads and hears and sees on the screen, is, attrocities carried out by muslims. i am not saying that there are not any good guys,but where are they? nobody speaks up.. therefore ISLAMOPHOBIA. fear of islam.

    Islam is no more a race than is Fascism or any other totalitarian creed.

      Under this ridiculous claim, secular and Hundu Indians would be racists for fearing Pakistani Muslims who share their exact SAME RACE! It is Islam’s supremist ideology that created Pakistan.

      The UN needs to unloaded, offshore. There is nothing “United” about it other than third world demands on, and complaints toward, productive nations.

    Ha ha ha the same UN that says nothing about the terrorist organization Hamas shooting multiple rockets into Israel but the second Israel defends themselves the UN condemns Israel? Screw the whole lot of them! The UN is a joke and should be kicked out of New York and the USA!

      We must counter every Muslim campaign against so-called “racist Islamophobia” with an equally forceful campaign against “Kafirphobia”. Everytime Muslims bring this up, we must immediately turn the tables on them with the Kafirphobia that is taught in the Koran and in every mosque and in every Muslim-majority country.

    That’s ok, as long as they don’t define Islamophohia as telling the truth about or criticizing Islam, or criticizing particular Muslims because of something that have said or done rather than simply because they are Muslim.

  5. Geoffrey de Brito says

    Trump should quietly let it be known to the UN Secretary General, that the day the UN declares “Islamophobia” to be a form of racism is the day that America leaves the U.N…

    As the United States cannot remain a member of an organization that opposes free speech, which is what the false charge of “Islamophobia” is meant to suppress.

    1.Would the UN consider it “islamophobic” to give muslims their OWN teachings about muhammed back to them?

    Surely islamic teachings themselves cannot be called “islamophobic”?

    So it may not be PC to relate this but..muhammed the perfect man{al insan al kamil}
    was..according to islamic sources…

    A FAT,WHITE,CROSS-DRESSING,ILLITERATE,MASS-MURDERING, MIDGET*

    It cannot be “islamophobic” to use islamic teachings now can it?Of course not..
    Since muhammed was WHITE too:that surely isn’t being racist is it?

    *{Abu dawud 40:4731 “when Ubaydullah saw him he said..that muhammed of yours is fat and a dwarf”,sahih bukhari 2442(cross dressing) k7:157(illiterate)Abu Dawud 4390(mass-murderer of Jews)}

    2.As for Racism,would the UN be willing to condemn… islamic racism?

    islamic teachings are certainly RACIST!

    Like the koran’s disgusting antisemitism{The Jews are “Apes to be despised and hated”
    koran 2 v 65.Sorry Jesus,Sorry Moses…..}

    Or muhammed the SELLER OF BLACK SLAVES {Sahih muslim 3901″..and he sold him for TWO OF THE BLACKS”}

    muhammed,the WHITE man{Sahih bukhari 63,Sahih muslim 6081 and 6071}with his BLACK slaves{Sahih bukhari 7263 and 6161{anjasha}}.Let’s not forget the “Raisin head” references{Sahih Bukhari 7142},that the devil is ..of course….a BLACK man{ibn ishaq 243~Nabtal ibn al harith}or that the WORST INSULT POSSIBLE one could say about muhammed was that…”Whoever says the prophet was BLACK was KILLED.The prophet was not BLACK}(Ash Shifa)

    So much islamic racism!

    What will the corrupt UN do about it?
    NOTHING.Pretend not to see it…

    it seems muslims are very thin skinned can’t take it, complainers. Everyone over the whole earth at one time or another has found something that has come their way and they have had to over come it without the help of laws, sabre slashing, threats and shooting and blowing things up. Christians have been persecuted from the beginning and to this day there is constant mocking of Jesus, yet I am not seeing a retaliation with hate and blood.

    the OIC is an islamic corrupt bunch of jerks who are so delusional it is pitiful. THEY created the term islamaphobe to cover their own stupidity. Islam is all bad, plain and simple. And if one calls a spade a spade then get over it.

    Read Christopher Hitchens on Islam; he tells it like it really is. So much for their man-made laws; none of that is from a divine being, ever.

    F__k! Guilty as charged. But then, since when has Islam been a race?

  11. somehistory says

    Mar 24, 2019 at 2:44 pm

    Back around the time that ‘o’ gained control of the WH and the U.S. government, he tried to get the Census Bureau to put “moslim” on the census form as a “race.”

    Now, the people he spoke to and said, “the future….blah, blah, blah…” are trying to do what he could not accomplish and have moslims classified as a “race.”
    They will most likely do this if they can get it past the U.S., as so many of the countries belonging to the U.N. are moslim, and many of those remaining non moslim, are scared of disappointing the ‘wild beast.’

    However, it will not change the fact that islam is not made up of adherents of one “race”…except that they are all of the human race…even when they behave as wild animals might (and worse)…
    And…they cannot force people to view them as a “race” just because they proclaim it.

    And, even if they could force people to see ilsam as a ‘race’….people will still hate it, just as people hate other things and some people hate other ‘races.’ People cannot control the thinking of all people, just as they cannot “fool all of the people all of the time.”

    If islam is a ‘race,’ then so is Christianity. Will there be laws against the “fear” of Christians? No, but then, people don’t fear Christians, anyway. They have no cause to.

    Mar 24, 2019 at 2:52 pm

    Some of the more important points are here:
    “freedom of religion of all Muslims and not to deny them the right to exercise their civil and cultural rights.

    All presumptions of guilt or attributions of potential crimes, extremism and terrorism to ordinary Muslims were also firmly rejected…”
    **************************************
    They want to be free to commit crimes…sanctioned by islam…such as killing of family members who bring shame upon them by not dressing like they demand, or dating non moslim, mutilation of little girls, giving babies and little girls to old males among them to be raped daily…
    And…then not be held guilty of these crimes, nor to be put on watch lists due to their actions and speech that may lead authorities to believe they are planning a terror attack.

    Good luck with that one! Then they would have to stop killing us and expose themselves.

    According to Islamic sharia law all muslims worldwide are innocent, unless they don’t follow sharia law. The worst crime for a muslim is to expose Islam and it’s ties to terrorism. Islam is not a race. Islam follows the sharia law and teaches the Quran in every mosque that connects to warfare against all who speak truthfully about the doctrine. Islamophobia determines factual or truth about Islam is hate speech and in the 56 islamic countries and the Palestinian authority that comprise the Organization of Islamic Cooperation at the U.N they all considet that is a criminal offense. They target western democracy and countries to submit to sharia law, they use their special groups of terrorist and martyrs to strike fear into the hearts and minds of non-believers and keep muslim populations in line. The muslim brotherhood infiltration into our national security almost completed their work in America to destroy western civilization and take down their “miserable house”..we currently have a President who defends freedom speech to speak truthfully, who once stated he didn’t understand why they hated us.or worse.I have often wondered if that started the investigation that was so relentless to remove him from office as it may have exposed the problem in the U.S, a compromised national security and a clever lie and deception from the MB. I hope the twelve Republicans review this situation, it starts with hijra, which is migrations to settle, and is a” grand jihad with all the word means.” So how did the collusion of Russia investigation allegations try to prevent discovery or offending sharia law.? Or demand adherence to it?

    The OIC should rightly be declared a Terrorist Group and put on the International Terrorist Group list!

  17. Dale says

    The answer is simple. What is irrational about it? Your holy book says that you are the best, we are the worst and you should kill us were ever you find us.

    Be very careful where you use this answer. (It also assumes that they know what a phobia is and what the Koran says.)

    and India?

    Why does the foreign minister of Pakistan not know that all Muslims in India are of the Indian race.The are all Indians so there is no abhorrent manifestation of racism in India.

    Does the foreign minister of Pakistan not know that the people of Pakistan are of the Indian race and Pakistan nationality.This nationality is only from 1947 when India was partitioned.

    The OIC exists because Islamic majority countries organise themselves against the UN, to dominate the UN and its non Islamic members. It‘s existence is due to intolerance and supremacy and yet it lectures the whole on being racist? It‘s absurd.

    Of course Islam is not a race, but that fact is irrelevant to those who will promote the stifling of free speech in the west. The bully organization that is the UN will back this step toward silencing any criticism of Islam.

    Politicians of the left will wholeheartedly adopt any resolution from the UN that gives support to silencing their opponents on the right and in doing so will tighten the noose of Islamic supremacy around their own necks.

    “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable.” JFK. The left is losing the battle for the hearts and minds of the majority of their peoples and will grasp onto anything or any ideology that can possibly assist them in retaining political power.

    Let me get this straight- if we (us infidels) say, “The Quran says to kill the infidel if he doesn’t convert or become a dhimmi,’ that will get us arrested for Islamophobia, but the actual presence of that offensive verse in the Quran ISN’T RACIST and Judeo-Christophobic??

    How can it be that repeating a verse from the Quran is Islamophobic while the verse itself is a permission slip for Muslims to enslave and murder Christian and Jews around the world??

    We’re not scared of them! That’s a phobia. We hate their belief system and wanting to kill people.
