No attacks of innocent Muslims or any other innocent people are ever justified. The problem is that honest discussion of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and oppression is all too often classified as “Islamophobia” as well, and not differentiated from vigilante attacks on innocent people. If Germany appoints an “Islamophobia commissioner,” it will end up stifling free discussion of the international problem of jihad, and allowing jihadis a free hand. So Merkel’s government will probably go ahead and appoint one.
“Germany’s Muslims call for an Islamophobia commissioner,” Yeni Safak, August 8, 2019:
Germany’s Muslim community has called on the government to create a new government post to counter growing Islamophobia in the country.
Aiman Mazyek, president of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, proposed on Wednesday appointment of an Islamophobia commissioner.
“We have seen the importance of such a post after the federal government appointed a commissioner to combat anti-Semitism,” he told Bild daily.
Mazyek underlined that the appointment of an Islamophobia commissioner would be an important signal, and authorities would become more sensitive about anti-Muslim crimes.
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition government created an office last year for a federal commissioner to fight against anti-Semitism, following calls by Jewish organizations.
Despite suggestions for creating a similar post to address concerns of Muslim community, the government had so far been reluctant.
Mazyek said growing anti-Muslim propaganda in the country has reached worrying levels in recent months, as more than 20 mosques received bomb threats in July.
“One who is against Muslims or other minorities is in fact threatening us all in a free, democratic country. It is crucial that the society recognizes this,” he stressed.
Germany has witnessed growing Islamophobia and hatred of migrants in recent years triggered by the far-right parties and movements, which have exploited fears over the refugee crisis and terrorism.
Police recorded 813 hate crimes against Muslims last year, including insults, threatening letters, physical assaults and attacks against mosques….

Insults should not be counted as “crimes”. This is Muslim-Think.
How many of the “hate crimes” were insults ? 810 ?

The following article is misguided,
but it offers food for furthering thought….

…if George Orwell forgot anything in his seminal novel “1984,” it was that Islamophobia in Western society would eventually come to be a symptom of the greater disease that is mass surveillance.
If you are someone who believes privacy does not matter because you have nothing to hide, take a good hard look in the mirror and ask yourself if there exists a faster way to lose a fundamental right than to stop caring about its personal meaning. Every time a decision is passed down legalizing more surveillance and data collection sharing between private corporations and the government, not only has your life become less private, but there also exists one more legal precedent to stripping away your privacy even further in the name of national security.

Most of these “crimes” were Insults or less. Some people tore down hijabs from Muslim women. The so-called attacks on mosques were mostly pig-heads or bacon in front of the door.
There was one attack with fireworks right before the door of a mosque in Dresden, the accused person will spend the next nine years in prison, although nobody was hurt, none was killed and the damage on the door was minor.
On the other Hand there are more than 46.000 crimes of migrants against Germans and hardly anyone goes to Prison, although many of them are theft, rapes, knife-attacks, and murder.
gravenimage says
Most of those claims of Infidels pulling off Hijabs have turned out to be false.
jCotrim says
If Islamophobia is a crime, then Kafirphobia needs to be a crime as well.
Keys says
This is a form of jizya in dar al harb – having the majority kafirs pay for enforcing sharia.
An Islamophobia Commissioner will need a big salary and staff, facilities, a budget to hire enforcement officers with marked vehicles, prosecutors, money to train infidels to respect Islam, offices in every German city, outreach program funds, public school in-service education money, TV and media “ad” money, …..

If the German government concedes, that country will go down in flames in a matter of years, mark my words.
There’s no way that the non muslim citizenry will tolerate that blasphemy.
James says
How many crimes did Muslims commit against Jews, Christians, other religious groups, free thinkers, women, children last year? Surely not very many, hardly worth mentioning in comparison with the crimes against Muslims. Probably just a scattered handful by radicals who do not understand the Islamic texts correctly.
Paul Mc says
Just a few mentally ill. Not worth mentioning!
I can assure you this is going on since decades, it did not start with the migrant crisis. Murders, rapes, harassment have not been investigated since mid 70s when numbers rose and uncomfortably questions have been asked. How to reduce crime? Simple… reduce police force! money saved. The statistics of crimes only show the solved ones. Not investigated or unsolved are like: never happened. Antisemetic crimes have by order to be reported as crimes by the right, even they only make 10%. Muslims and Leftists commit the other 90% which are groups of total immunity.
Angemon says
If the “commissioner to combat anti-Semitism” didn’t do anything regarding the anti-semitism in islamic texts then he’s a fraud…
CRUSADER says
JIHADISTS IN THE MIDST !
Seeing more and more evidence of an ever expanding result of Europe’s unawareness that Islamic forces planted “trojan horses” in its midst — in the form of Turkic, Algerian, and later Iraqi and Syrian breeds being injected into Europe at large.
Islamization Project by Muslim Brotherhood of influencing and infiltrating Europe began with official steps from 1982 onward, but as Bat Ye’or reported in “Eurabia”, the store was given away longer ago in a deal of exchanging culture for oil and cheap labor. The feel-good immigration-welcoming for “refugees” came on the heel of that deal.
While the once courageous and proud Europe forgot its Crusading history by instead disco-dancing to ABBA and to the theme of political correctness, dastardly Arabian Thieves sneakily stole Europe — over a course of 1001 nights. Now, the Islamophiles are becoming ever bolder and brazen.
Somehow intellectuals such as Daniel Pipes seem to think Islamism’s effects are diminishing! Jihad Watch demonstrates daily that this would be a pipe dream — and it is dangerous not to see it clearly, despite the danger in calling it out FOR WHAT IT IS !!!
VISEGRAD leads the way to clarity among Europeans.
VISEGRAD and the American Redoubt both have examples forming for North America to heed in facing what looks to be a dark future for society.
Prepare!
The spirit of the Crusades is what needs to beat in our hearts, as Counter-Jihad warriors in our own right. We need to learn more about the Crusades, in its long history, and to understand how the Crusading Spirit can help us discover what we need to do presently and with the future in mind.
We have an enormous fight ahead of us.
Lisel R Sipes says
This looks like just another way to control Germany and Europe by the muslim invaders. We need Crusaders to keep them from destroying everything decent and good in the world. Because that is what they will do!
James Lincoln says
CRUSADER,

I think the biggest battle must take place in western women`s minds- to return to their natural biological desire to give birth. The womb is the ultimate weapon to save europe because without the demographic advantage, any courage by a few warriors will not suffice. An army of native europeans is needed. Hopefully, the trend towards lgbtqrstuvw, feminism, sjw’s, and indoctrinated youth is just that- a trend.

I do not believe that it is that most women do not want children. The problem in Europe is fertility. It has been decreasing for the last 40 years, both with men and women. Just have a look at the medical reproduction Centers all over Europe. Although many countries to not allow it, the Eastern European clinics are full.
It is just some sick lefties who pretend that the Europeans do not WANT to reproduce themselves, most of those who have no children simply CANT.
James Lincoln says
Andra,
You are correct regarding infertility issues.
The reasons are complex, however age is a huge factor in women. Many women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to have children – and about one third of couples in which the woman is over 35 have fertility problems.
The West should follow the new blueprint of Hungary – how to grow the native population without relying on immigration. Major incentives for young couples wanting to start large families.

“One who is against Muslims or other minorities is in fact threatening us all in a free, democratic country. It is crucial that the society recognizes this,” he stressed…..
Since when did islam advocate a ‘free democratic society? This character is just playing the usual victim-status jumping-on-the-bandwagon taqiyya game, obviously aping the Jewish people who had real reason to need protection – from the muslims, no doubt! Our Friends of the Great Prophet push their luck wherever they go.
Beverly says
It isn’t far right groups in Germany that are driving the threats against Islam, it’s what the Islamists do to everyone else that drives the threats. How many Germans have been maimed or killed by Muslims? How many Muslims have been killed by Germans? I rest my case.
Barb says
“One who is against Muslims or other minorities is in fact threatening us all in a free, democratic country. It is crucial that the society recognizes this,”
NO – Minorities such as Muslim’s who are against a free democratic country are the real threat to society, to Germany, to Western nations!
Hindu’s and Sikhs don’t try to undermine democracy; Christians don’t undermine society.
The ECLJ publicly acknowledged in January 2019 that Sharia law is incompatible with human rights!
The Quran teaches Muslim’s not to make friends with “infidel”!
So the Muslim leader demanding an “Islamophobia Commissioner” should go back to his country of birth!
To the German Leaders — what about a Christianaphobia Commissioner, a Catholicaphobia Commissioner, a Hinduaphobia Commissioner etc????
Tom Kennett says
The UK have just done that and called him an independent expert on Islamophobia…..hardly independent?
Also inline with the Muslim brotherhood’s plan, the Muslim Council of Britian have created CfMM Centre for Media Monitoring, to bring press and media to account report to parliament.

Aussie Infidel says
There should be no censorship whatsoever on grounds of ‘Islamophobia’ or any other perceived offence against individuals – including anti-semitism. Providing legislative protection against criticism of a religion (an inanimate supernatural belief) is simply stupid and extremely naive. No system of belief should ever be beyond criticism, because they are all products of the human imagination – and there is plenty to be critical about in Islam. For a start, Islam is more political than religious (about 60/40). There are also a hundred or so verses in the Quran which deal with jihad or holy war against non-Muslims, to subjugate their religions and cultures and impose Sharia law. The proposed Islamophobia Commissioner would have only one real role – to silence any criticism of Islam, and hide its true nature from the host society until it is too late to stop it without civil war. Any nation stupid enough to adopt such a proposal, would be signing its own death warrant.
As much as I sympathise with the Jews for the persecution they have received over the years (some of which has been directed against me personally), there should not be any laws against anti-semitism – or any other such offence. But unfortunately, this is where the rot first started – when enough people who sympathised with the Jews, supported legislation against people like ‘holocaust deniers’, without thinking deeply enough about the consequences. In some countries, that legislation has opened the door to charges against people for other “offensive behavior” because of “race, color or national or ethnic origin” (Australia’s HR Act 1975, Section 18 C). And this has provided the perfect opportunity for Muslims to jump on the bandwagon to seek protection against ‘Islamophobia’.
But Aiman Mazyek would not dare mention that ‘Islamophobia’ was deliberately dreamed up by the International Institute of Islamic Thought, specifically to silence any opposition to Islam. And Angela Merkel would probably not question why there should be so much opposition to Islam? That in itself would also be Islamophobic. From some of the hair-brained decisions she has made, I have often wondered whether she has ever read the Quran?
sheliak says
Right on cue. These people play this game right out of the muslim brotherhood handbook. Inch by inch and step by step according to their percentage of the host population at any given moment in time. Invasion by increments.
mortimer says
At first, this new commissioner of Islamophobia will arrest people for saying rude things about Islam, then down the road it will turn into ‘Commissioner of Islamic Morality’ or ‘Commissioner of Sharia Enforcement’ or something like that. This commissioner will have powers to call the police and prosecutors to charge someone with blasphemy or breaking the fasting rules or smoking in public, drinking alcohol or holding hands with one’s spouse in pubic or being alone with a person of the opposite sex, such as for work.
CRUSADER says
Sounds like a position which ironically you could easily fill, mortimer.

This News are another islamic scandal, which should result in the removing of this guy Mazyek.
He doesn’t hardly have any clue or he is ignoring completely, of how “his” Muslim-Brothers are behaving towards Nonmuslims/Kuffars in Germany an in the “Rest of Europe” on a day-by-day basis!
It seems that they are moving towards a “final-confrontation” with Sharia-indoctrination, cutting all aspects of life etc. against our civilized western society,
Everything is allowed – most of them think so – to bring us down.
Mazyek’s brain obviously works in this way.

In Britain (and elsewhere no doubt) we are told to be vigilant, and to report tothe police anyone we think may be of interest to them with regards to terrorism… or we think may be planning to commit a terrorist act.
Yet, many people who have done this, have themselves been arrested and charged for the crime of being racist, islamophobic, etc… towards the person they were reporting.
Many times we have been told that a person who committed an act of terrorism (usually Islamic) was already on the ‘Terror List’, and that the police were keeping an eye on them. But my questions are….
Why weren’t they deported back to where they came from, in order to keep us safe from them in the first place?
And, why should we (peaceful civilians, living by the law of the land) have to live in fear of whether or not a ‘Person of interest’, is going to commit an act of terrorism, which could kill us or our family and friends?
This tells me, that there is most certainly an agenda of some kind. Especially because of the fact that we, law-abiding citizens, risk losing everything, should we complain or speak out about the whole thing.
IT IS AN INVASION.
IT IS A WAR ON OUR LAND.
And IT IS A THREAT TO OUR SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.
