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

Turkey: “The claim by Macron that ‘Islam is in crisis’ is dangerous and provocative, encouraging Islamophobia”

Oct 8, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 11 Comments

Much of the controversy centers upon Macron’s announcement that France will move to ban homeschooling in 2021, in order “to stifle religious instruction of children.” By all indications, the religion that France seeks to protect children from is Islam. Any measure intended to stymie Islamization will inevitably be denounced as “Islamophobic.” But according to independent school advocate Lionel Devic, “it is clearly established that not a single perpetrator of terrorist attacks in France came from independent schools.” The unfortunate aspect of banning homeschooling in order to stop Islamic “radicalization” is that it punishes every other religion. Homeschooling was never a problem in France, or, in fact, anywhere in the EU. Neither were private schools. These things were no problem, that is, until mass Muslim migration began.

Meanwhile, Macron is right: Islam is obviously in crisis. Kalin is just blaming the messenger.

“Turkey accuses France’s Macron of ‘sowing Islamophobia’,” by Zafer Fatih Beyaz, Anadolu Agency, October 5, 2020:

Turkey on Monday accused French President Emmanuel Macron of “encouraging Islamophobia” with his recent remarks claiming that “Islam is in crisis”.

“The claim by President Macron that ‘Islam is in crisis’ is a dangerous and provocative statement, encouraging Islamophobia and anti-Muslim demagoguery,” presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin wrote on Twitter.

“Making Islam and Muslims a scapegoat for the failures of the French Republic is a far cry from rational policy,” Kalin added.

Last Friday, Macron announced a controversial plan against so-called “Islamist separatism” in the country….

    Absolutely hilarious denial of the blatantly obvious (“Islam in Crisis”).

    Presumably, by their own rationale, these muslims think Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is an “Islamophobe”, even though he’s merely stating the bleeding obvious:

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/12/19/mahathir-mohamad-muslim-world-in-a-state-of-crisis/

    A simple question for those muslims who claim to be “offended” by Macron’s statement of the bleeding obvious. If Islam ISN’T in crisis, please explain why “other” muslims feel the need for this:

    Another bunch of “Islamophobic” muslims.

    You can’t help but laugh.

    LOL..

    Well, is islam in crisis or isn’t it? If it’s not, muslims can tell us and give us the proof. If it is, then it’s perfectly reasonable to say so, so who is being ‘provoked’ and how? And ‘islamophobia’ only exists for the severely intellectually challenged.

    Biden recently made a comment he would like to see Islam taught in all schools, by some accounts it already is being presented as peaceful, a actual strategic deceptiive success by representing peaceful verses in the Quran while ommitting the violence verses around 109 that obligates warfare against non muslims, but first with deception of a peaceful discussion. Will his VP correct this error, nope don’t count on it. Macron is correct Islam it is dangerous, it might be in crisis but it is the Quran and doctrine that is violent not the crisis, although it can trigger it. In my opinion. Islam is dominating the description thru deception, that our media needed protection to present so often it did not and ony focused on Trump to criticize to keep the left in power and the country invaded with mass illegal entries that can bring terror and implement sharia laws.

    Islamophobia is a good and wise attitude for non-Muslims and ex Muslims. It also elicits fear in Muslims. No more pulling the wool over our eyes.

    Islam is in crisis because for the first time in its history, Islamic rulers cannot easily censor criticisms of Islam, like this:

    If you study the Quran, and look at historical and recent developments in Islam countries, can you speak of a phobia?
    Of course not.
    Then every mouse would be a racist, with irrational fears for cats. No. the phobia of mouse is very, very rational as is the case with any non Muslim against Islam.

    It is pathetic and almost hilarious that Islam is viewed by its followers as something that cannot be criticized by rational people who are not Muslim.

    FREE SPEECH FOREVER.
