Last week, Jihad Watch reported about “Saudi Arabia calls for ‘final solutions’ to stamp out ‘Islamophobia,’ including prison and fines”:
For years now, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and other Islamic groups have condemned any and all honest discussion of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and oppression as “Islamophobic.” If the UN heeds Saudi Arabia’s words, which it will do sooner or later, all criticism of Islam will be criminalized — which is exactly the situation of criticism of Islam in Islamic law.
Canada has already adopted anti-Islamophobia motion M-103, which was passed deceptively with the claim that it was not legislation. They knew full well that in Canada, motions guide future legislation. M-103 was followed up by a 23-million-dollar plan to “take action” against Islamophobia, “monitor citizens for compliance,” and “train law enforcement” to recognize online and offline hate. MP Iqra Khalid (who tabled the motion) also subsequently announced in a press conference that two questionable groups would help implement the followup action: the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM, formerly CAIR-CAN), and the International Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy (IRFAN), which was listed as a “terrorist entity” by the former Harper Conservative Government of Canada. The NCCM originally defined “Islamophobia” as “fear, prejudice, hatred or dislike directed against Islam or Muslims, or towards Islamic politics or culture.”
While Saudi Arabia fools the world about reforming, and while Muslim lobbies do the bidding of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation worldwide, gullible Western leaders continue to be manipulated through political correctness to betray their democracies, all in the name of “diversity.” Normative Islam is antithetical at its roots to genuine tolerance and diversity. “Reforming” Saudi Arabia has also condemned Israel’s plans to reassert its sovereignty over part of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and “reiterated its ‘steadfast stance toward the brotherly Palestinian people.'”
“In 2019, Yahya Cholil Staquf, general secretary of the world’s biggest Muslim organisation, Indonesia’s Nahdlatul Ulama movement, asserted that Islamophobia is not rooted in racism and that the distrust of Muslims in many countries is a result of Islamist extremism and terrorism throughout the world.” Other Islamic apologists still absurdly insist that violence and conquest have nothing to do with Islam, despite all the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
“Saudi Arabia’s call on UN to embrace Islamophobia as racism raises alarm for global religious freedom,” Barnabas Fund, July 31, 2020:
Saudi Arabia’s call to the UN to focus on “eliminating Islamophobia” as an outcome of tackling online racism and xenophobia sets a potentially dangerous precedent – at a level of global policy – by attempting to define as a fait accompli that “Islamophobia” is a type of racial discrimination.
While undoubtedly racism and prejudice are to be found on the internet, this seems a disingenuous call from the closed sharia kingdom, which promotes its own strict Wahhabi interpretation of Islam worldwide, where Christians and Jews are presented as enemies in school textbooks and jihad is encouraged as a means of spreading Islam. It remains a capital offence for a Muslim to convert to Christianity in Saudi Arabia.
Meshaal Bin Ali Al Balawi, Saudi’s Head of Human Rights at the United Nations Mission in Geneva, addressed the Human Rights Council, flagging the internet as a “space for practicing racism” as he called for the UN to work towards finding a “solution”.
Al Balawi explained that, in Saudi Arabia, “spreading ideas based on racial discrimination and inciting racism and hatred using information technology … is a crime, whose perpetrator is punished according to the laws of the kingdom”. Penalties include imprisonment, substantial fines up to $133,000 (£102,900; €113,360) or both.
The concept of conflating any criticism of Islamist orthodoxy with racism could potentially lead to serious and repressive consequences worldwide, especially for Christian converts from Islam, should the UN be found willing to take up the Saudi stated cause to “prohibit racial discrimination in all its forms”, as promoted under the kingdom’s “Vision2030” framework.
Islamophobia definition factually incorrect according to senior Muslim cleric
In 2019, Yahya Cholil Staquf, general secretary of the world’s biggest Muslim organisation, Indonesia’s Nahdlatul Ulama movement, asserted that Islamophobia is not rooted in racism and that the distrust of Muslims in many countries is a result of Islamist extremism and terrorism throughout the world…..

Islam is not a race. It’s a fascist ideology hidden under a coat of “religion”. How any righteous man have a repect for totalitarism ?
They can ban whatever they want, but I will always say what I think, because I am a free man and I prefer to die than agree to a lie.
Antiislamicman says
Islam is not a race and there is no such thing as islamophobia. Wake up people Islam is trying to play us yet again.
mortimer says
The crushing of criticism of, dissent from and disagreement with Islam is actually MEANT by Muslims to LIMIT and restrict religion freedom.
Muslims are saying “RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR ME, but NOT for THEE”.
Part of religious freedom is the freedom to dissent from religion and criticize religion and the right to change to another religion.
CogitoErgoSum says
If the UN is to be focused on eliminating racism it should be focused upon eliminating Islam. If Islam is considered to be a race then so should Christianity and Judaism and all other religions. Per Koran 9:29 all Muslims are commanded by their god to fight all other religions (races) until they are all either wiped out or are subservient to Islam. This is a supremacist (racist) ideology. If race and religion are considered to be the same thing, yes, it is a racist ideology. How can the UN support such an ideology in any way and still say it is fighting racism? Fighting Islamophobia is, in reality, fighting against those who oppose the racism of Islam.
Edmund says
This support is everywhere, not only at UN. Why ? Because hypocrisy and cowardice is a path of evil. And the Devil is ruling this World. At least it looks like.

CogitoErgoSum says,
“If Islam is considered to be a race then so should Christianity and Judaism and all other religions.”
Brilliant!
Also Christian-phobia, Judaism-phobia, Hindu-phobia, etc…
John Silvis says
There is one absolute proof that a position is wrong and indefensible. That proof is when any people (Muslims in this case) punish criticism of their irrational religion (even genocide) by making all criticism illegal. If you cannot defend your position with reason or sane moral convictions, make all opposition criminal. This is the way that evil totalitarian people “win” when their views are indefensible. History proves this fact.
Our whole planet will be ruled by those who promote evil (and call it morality) if these Ignorant bigoted lunatics and their religion of dark ages evil become above all criticism. Any use of the term “Islamophobia” is just hate speech to silence reason and factual thinking.
World intellectuals (especially at Universities)” hate free speech while they in embrace truly Orwellian thinking( I.e. “double think”). They say that we fear what we do not understand.” If this were true they should be terrified. But they are too ignorant to fear true evil and forbid critical thinking. How Islamic we have become.

Come on U.N., just get to the bottom line and proclaim “Convert or die.” Anything else is Islamophobia and kufr. Oh and apologise to Hitler while you’re at it.
Ren says
Is is better for the UN to embrace ‘Islamophobia’, period.
IanB says
If this is enacted by the UN then it is time for the citizens of the U.S. to demand the removal of the UN from their country and to end all financial support.
Wellington says
In effect, all three, i.e., the UN, Islam and Saudi Arabia, threaten religious freedom. The UN is in the pocket of the Islamic world and SA is “merely” a part of the Islamic world.
Easy conclusions to be drawn here. Extremely easy. Only useful idiots (e.g., Pope Francis) won’t see this or the malevolent (e.g., the Muslim Brotherhood) will lie about this.

Wellington,
You are correct, there are only two possible conclusions…
Christopher Watson says
I thought this was a serious site. When I read that Saudi Arabia has a Human Rights representative I just fell about laughing. Islam, their national religion is the most repressive religion ever invented where women are treated as owned slaves, where any minor theft is punished by chopping off body parts, where women are not allowed out unless accompanied by a man, where a women who is raped is sentenced to prison, where girls are allowed to burn in a fire if they are not wearing a black sack and (on the good authority from a friend who used to work there) many men who are out shopping will hold hands. No I’m not against guys; I’m against hypocrisy.
No Saudi Arabian should be allowed to travel outside Saudi Arabia until they build a Christian church in Mecca.

Saudi Arabia’s call for UN to embrace ‘Islamophobia’ as racism threatens global religious freedom
………………..
Good lord, talk about projection! There is no religious freedom in Saudi Arabia.
mortimer says
More and more Arabs, Turks and Iranians are leaving Islam and preaching to Muslims to encourage them to leave Islam. They are producing FACT-BASED CRITIQUES of Islam and using persuasive arguments that have nothing to do with racism. The are from the same race as their Muslim families.
Therefore, criticizing Islam is clearly not racist, because it is the criticism of an ideology.
kami-sama says
Exactly Im an Ex-Muslim & I share the same blood as that of my family . but unfortunately that’s how Muslims think ,it seems their god is so weak & insecure the he needs to silence or kill anyone who speaks against him or his horny prophet who banged a 9 yo girl & his adopted son’s wife
James Lincoln says
kami-sama,
Perhaps you could share with Jihad Watch readers how you came to become an ex-muslim.
Did it come on gradually or was it a sudden insight / intuitive understanding?
It would be very informative…
gravenimage says
Like James, I would live to hear more about how you came to leave Islam, kami-sama.
Ecosse1314 says
I think the Russians on his berlin bunker doorstep may have been another reason.
Also his last will and testament written just hours before his death,showed him still railing against the jews
FYI says
So,hitler shoots himself and dies.. only to be judged by a JEW.
muhammed{sallahwallahballah} eats poisoned meat given to him by a Jewish woman and dies..{expecting the judge to be his ‘allah’ }.. only to be judged by a JEW.
In Christianity the Judge is Jesus Christ who of course is Jewish
{John 4 v 22}Jews say it is YHWH but either way it is Jewish.
hitler and muhammed would not have foreseen that.
They hate the Jews,kill the Jews,steal from the Jews and one day they die in violent circumstances…only to be judged by a JEW.
muslims,in any case,never get Irony.
grandpahalfdime says
Phobias are considered IRRATIONAL.
Since there is nothing irrational about discussing the workings of Islam, then “Islamophobia” doesn’t exist.
Besides, I don’t give a rats ass about what the UN does, but if it calls Americans “racist” for speaking the truth about the death cult of Islam, then they can pick up their organization and move to Saudi Arabia or wherever as long as it isn’t here.
OLD GUY says
If Islamophobia becomes punishable by prison sentences then Islamic threats to kill Christians and Jews should be punished with death sentences. I may call Muhammad a dumb ass but I don’t threaten to kill Muslims, on the other hand Muslims often threaten to kill non-islamic people. Seems a fair way to deal with the problem.
IanB says
If this is enacted by the UN then it is time for the citizens of the U.S. to demand the removal of the UN from their country and to end all financial support.
