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

France: After Paris jihad massacre and 9/11-style plot, leading intellectuals urge action against “Islamophobia”

Oct 19, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Not against Islamic jihad terrorism, but against “Islamophobia.” That means they will get more of the former, and less of the latter, including honest analysis of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, which is routinely stigmatized as “Islamophobia.” France is finished.

“Leading French figures urge action against Islamophobia,” Yeni Safak, October 16, 2019:

Dozens of academics, artists, film directors, actors and journalists urged French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday to condemn a far-right lawmaker who verbally attacked a Muslim woman.

According to an open letter published in the Le Monde daily, 90 people — including actor Omar Sy and journalist Alain Gresh — called on Macron to condemn Julien Odoul, who ordered a Muslim woman to remove her headscarf at a recent regional council meeting.

Stressing that it was unacceptable for people to be subjected to insults and racism due to their religious affiliation, the letter called on the president to take action against the lawmaker’s controversial act.

In addition, it said the far right in France had turned hate towards Muslims into a propaganda tool and underscored that both the right and the left in the country did not refrain from discrimination against Muslim women on the pretext of secularism….

    The only “action” needed against this is to make people realize that it is a fake fear and that it should be totally acceptable to point this out, and to point out that the word itself is tool and a weapon contrived by the oic to make people ***afraid*** of saying anything negative about islam, telling the truth about islam, or even enforcing the Law against crimes committed by moslims, such as wearing banned garments, beating their family members, assaulting non moslims, etc.

    Expose the phobia of islam for what it is: a fake fear, contrived by the oic to force the world’s people into submission to islam and moslims who wish to dominate others. It is a weapon that has proven very effective.

    The spear was once a very effective weapon. The bow and arrow were once a very effective weapon. But they both lost a lot of their power when the gun was invented.

    The most effective weapon against this fear of being labeled as being in fear, is the Truth about islam and it’s goals.

      THE ‘ISLAMOPHOBIA’ SLUR IS A VERBAL LYNCHING … no evidence is required

      … The Islamophobia slur is a way to avoid presenting any evidence for the purported crime of criticizing Islam. But hold it. Is it a crime to criticize Christianity? No? Then why is it a crime to criticize Islam?

      Is there a double standard at play? Why do we need a double standard in the criticism of religions? Is one religion exempt from criticism and on what basis would that be? Will the name-callers make an argument for their double standard, please?

      BTW, merely calling someone a name is not an argument against their arguments. It is a distraction… a fallacy.

    A muslim woman wearing a headscarf is an offence to every non-Muslim male, as the headscraf indicates that – according to Muslim scripture – males cannot control their impulses, in other words could not keep off raping her.

      The Islamic scarf is the uniform Muslim owners used to prevent their women-chattels from being raped by fellow Muslims. The veil tells Kafirs that the may not speak with Muslim women.

        In addition where the hijab and veil are not mandatory in the West, it is also their symbol of Muslim supremacy to the dirty filthy kafirs just like the tall pointy white hat of the Klansmen was to blacks. Muslim apparel is an “in your face” symbol of their power to “strike fear in the hearts of the unbelievers” OR ELSE if you object you will be charged with intolerance, hate and Islamophobia. Muslims love to utilize their “victimhood jihad” against the kafirs along with all their other multiple forms of jihad, violent and non-violent. The goal is the Islamization of the infidel West. Islam is the only fascist supremacist ideology Westerners are forced to “tolerate” simply because it’s called a “religion” instead of, e.g., Nazism or Communism. What if the current day KKK or neo-Nazis called itself a “religion” and deceased Hitler is their spiritual God?

      Yes, the headscarf reminds any male onlooker that he is “capable of rape”. A disgusting insult.

      What a respectful view of human beings Islam always has !!

        Says [*exposes*] far more about THEIR OWN real mindset and tendencies than anything else.

    Messed up! Sure, lets take action against so called “islamophobia” that will make everything better. Unfortunately the leaders of the world are more interested in staying in power and not wanting to “offend” a group bent on madness than protecting their own citizens. One again world PC gets in the way of sound judgement.

    The hi jabbed lady was breaking the law. She had entered a regional parliament. According to French law, the hijab must not be worn in schools or in government offices. This parliament was a government office.Julien Odoul mentioned specifically that she had entered the “hemicycle” — that is, the parliamentary benches.

      Good point, Hugh. But as you know, French authorities seldom enforce their own laws:

    Oh brother, not those fools again. A 9-11 style plot uncovered and leading intellectuals are primarily concerned with dress codes.

    “Leading intellectuals” westerners who live in a pretend world spouting nonsense while proclaiming that they are smart.

      I agree. And the people who are the most vehement in their discrimination against Muslim women are Muslim men. Their anger, if they had any sense, would be directed at those who hand Muslim women second class status.

    I wish French “intellectuals” would show a similar sensitivity towards Jewish sensibilities when opportunities present themselves, as in the Charlie Hebdo murders.

    I wonder if actor Omar Sy and journalist Alain Gresh have read the Sira and Bukhari and even know what those two books are.

    How do they have a clue what is in Islam if they have not bothered to read two of Islam’s three source texts?

    Actor Omar Sy and journalist Alain Gresh are like the lazy students who never one of the books on the reading list and then try to BS their prof.

    Both men deserve a ‘FAIL GRADE’. They are unread, spontaneous virtue-signallers.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 20, 2019 at 1:08 am

      Omar Sy is himself Muslim.

      Alain Gresh is from an Italian-Jewish family and was raised in Cairo–he should know what a threat Islam is, but is too much of a dhimmi tool to acknowledge it. In fact, he appears to support the PLO. Ugly stuff.

    Yeah, who cares about Jihad? You have the “Islamophobia” of someone condemning something that is supposed to be illegal in France–oh, the humanity! sarc/off

    Wasn’t she breaking the law by wearing the headscarf?

    Stressing that it was unacceptable for people to be subjected to insults and racism due to their religious affiliation

    Now, discrimination based on political affiliation, that’s something the left is OK with, stupid enough to realize that’ll stance will eventually bite them in the jugular…

    “French intellectual” is a truly oxymoronic term.
    Surrender-monkeys use emotions, not intellect.

    Muslims come in three categories: men, women and women in menstruation. Furthermore, in mosques they are physically (geographically) separated. Someone should have told this lady the place for her category was in the street.
