Shireen Mazari is so committed to her victimhood narrative that she doesn’t notice that what she is claiming is pretty much the opposite of reality. In reality, accusations of “Islamophobia” destroy careers and ruin lives.
“Islamophobia” is a propaganda term that is used for two unrelated phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others. The goal of this conflation is to inhibit such analysis and intimidate people into thinking it’s wrong to oppose jihad terror. And it’s working great.
“‘COVID-19 became another tool to promote hatred against Muslims,’” The News International, November 6, 2020 (thanks to Henry):
Islamabad : The COVID -19 pandemic has become just one more tool to promote hatred against Muslims, branding them as spreaders of the disease.
This was stated by Federal Minister for Human Rights Dr. Shireen Mazari as she addressed the 6th Istanbul Security Council. Mazari talked about ‘Security in the Post COVID-19 World and Transformation of Security Institutions’…
The Minister pointed out that global crises should have brought humanity together. “Instead, the pandemic has revealed the fault lines and accentuated existing and emerging threats to international peace and security.”…
She also highlighted that prejudice, discrimination, and violence against Muslims including Islamophobia is one of the manifestations of these extremist trends. “Islamic shrines and holy places are being destroyed; Prophet (PBUH) was insulted and the Holy Quran was burnt perversely in the name of freedom of expression and opinion. The hypocrisy of Western states, especially some members of the EU, has become too overt to ignore. It is unfortunate that Islamophobia has become a political strategy for electoral and political gains and combating falling approval ratings,” she said.
Dr. Shireen Mazari also stressed upon that Prime Minister Imran Khan has called on the General Assembly to declare an “International Day to Combat Islamophobia”. He has written to the leaders of Muslim states urging them to collectively take the lead in breaking the cycle of hate and extremism, and raise their voice against Islamophobia.

In the redpill/blackpill community we know one reason for her behavior is:
ENDOGAMY: some 60% of Pakistan’s population of 220 MILLION come from homes where the parents are either FIRST or SECOND COUSINS, it has been going on for GENERATIONS.
Such IN-BREEDING creates GENETIC DETERIORATION: Health and/or Mental Problems.
THE RESULT
There are 195 countries in the world and the AVERAGE IQ in PAKISTAN is: 82 ( 100 is considered to be Normal)
Clive Delmonte says
Cultural factors could be at work here.
Neil says
The low IQ in Pakistan can be result of INBREEDING which is allowed and promoted in Islam.
mortimer says
50 generations of Muslim inbreeding. Mohammed’s family was highly inbred.
Arabian doctors have found over 900 illnesses in the Peninsula related to inbreeding. Arabian countries all have genetic counselling against inbreeding as part of the application for a marriage license.

Yep, probably explains a lot of Muslim thinking. Wouldn’t be surprised if they went about carrying signs saying “Behead those who have Islamophobia!”
Tony Said says
I am amazed again and again that people on this website conflate the evil things in the religion of Islam with the plight of the Palestinians. I live in an Islamic country, and I find that the vast majority of the people here are decent ordinary family people who would no more think of killing me because I am a Catholic and do not hide it than they would killing their neighbor who might not wear the hijab or go to Mosque for Friday prayers; They are generally friendly and very helpful and hospitable people. It is no doubt the case among the population that try to live in what is now left of an ever shrinking Palestine. And remember also that there are Christians in Palestine. Who can deny that, whatever their faults, the people whose ancestors were living in Palestine for nearly 2000years(!) have been and are VICTIMS of an aggressive theft of their lands guaranteed to them by internationally approved treaties, and a violent and relentless persecution by the Israeli government that has stripped these already poor people of every semblance of 20 and 21th century normal life. A sea blockade , and land blockade…humiliating checkpoints everywhere…. and when these people lose their temper and lob over a few firecrackers or try in other ways to alleviate their indigence, the self-righteous Israelis munificently supplied by the US with an abundance of hi-tech weapons that include nuclear, bomb the hell out of these “Islamic terrorists”, and transform the little infrastructure and decent housing they had left from the most recent bombing into more heaps of rubble.
Consult history ( especially the writings of the Jewish historian Josephus),,and read the New Testament, my friends, and see that God abolished the Mosaic religion of Israel with its Temple and sacrifices and and hereditary priesthood, destroyed temple (which has never been rebuilt to this day, inspite of a concerted effort to rebuild it in the reign of the Roman emporer Julian who supplied the Jews with large sums of money to accomplish the work)) and drove what was left of the population of Jerusalem and surrounding Jewish lands after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman armies out of Israel and prohibited their return on pain of death.
In the beginning when the Jewish state was created and established by the Balfour Treaty, the people of Palestine were friendly to the Jews, and were willing to let them have some of their land; Behold how that initial wiling friendliness has been betrayed!. Lands stolen and houses and farmsteads bulldozed…;Of course not all israeli people approve of this. Not at all! Many are strongly against the policy of theft and destruction of their government; They see it for what it is:
injustice to the nth degree, and they protest against it.
Again, when a small segment of the Palestinian population takes up arms to defend their patrimony, suddenly the Palestinians are Jihadists and terrorists. and are to be mocked and excoriated. Is this honest and fair? And if you will, compare the what the Torah says about violence and death to the enemies of Israel and the horrendous punishments to be meted out to breakers of the Mosaic laws, with what is contained in the Koran and Sharia law. Are they not almost the same? Jews who reject the humble and and pacific Christ, the revolutionary Teacher of love of enemies, as their Messiah, are inspired and instructed by the Torah to hate and do violence to their enemies, just as are the Muslims who take the whole Koran seriously. But the vast majority of Muslims , just like the vast majority of Catholics, pay little attention to the Koran and never or seldom read their Book. They (the majority of Muslims) have adopted the much more reasonable and moraly elevated civilized manner of life and thinking that comes from the Gospel.
Gart says
You’re talking shite.
Hoi Polloi says
I will leave particulars with respect to Israel to others who know more and can better answer. I have observed the movement of sharia into Europe and those who bring it. I am happy that you know only the best of the best, but I can tell you many stories of exactly the opposite. All of which would be irrelevant except that what I have seen and been told fully comports with what their book teaches. Are the Europeans living with this somehow less relevant and undeserving of have their experiences told?
As to other bits in this comment…”lose their temper and lob over a few firecrackers”.. Funny how closely that bit relates to the article just posted regarding the German who got a longer sentence in his own country for just that than a muslim did for murder. As sharia would have it. “killing their neighbor who might not wear the hijab or go to Mosque for Friday prayers” …. add to this for the act of leaving islam, or refusing a muslim suitor, or saying or doing anything considered an insult, usw. Whatever they are thinking is impossible for me to know, but they are actually doing this all over just as their book instructs. “Mosaic laws, with what is contained in the Koran and Sharia law. Are they not almost the same?” Leaving aside the fact that women are only half human, men can marry female infants, there is no prohibition against murdering offspring, avenging by slaughter is prescribed wholesale, and the points above, in addition to others made here regularly? I cannot imagine that anyone can comprehend the Bible and consider that book on equal footing with it.
mortimer says
Tony Said sincerely believes that his Muslim neighbors would not attack and murder him if and when a jihad sweeps over his land. Well, Armenians in Turkey also thought their Muslim neighbors would not do them in in 1914, and yet they did.
Tony Said probably doesn’t know about AL WALAA WAL BARAA. Muslims are not allowed to give genuine friendship or love to kafirs.
Ibn Kathir (a Sharia law authority) in his commentary on Koran 3.28: “BELIEVERS ARE ALLOWED TO SHOW FRIENDSHIP TO THE DISBELIEVERS OUTWARDLY, BUT NEVER INWARDLY.”
For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda (a companion of Mohammed) said, “We smile in the face of some people ALTHOUGH OUR HEARTS CURSE THEM.””
Islamic TV preacher Sheikh Hassan himself asserts that “da’wa mode differs from jihad mode. Jihad mode requires power, zeal, manliness—basically, a stern face and such. But when in da’wa mode, you must smile, you must be gentle.”
Wellington says
Tony Said: You have made four errors.
Error #1 is that because you know some nice Muslims, therefore (implicitly) Islam is OK. No.
An ideology should never be judged by the fact that some adherents to the ideology are nice people and don’t fully implement, or wrongly implement, the tenets of the ideology they are members of. After all, during the Cold War one could have found many nice Communists in sundry Eastern European nations who, on a daily basis, were good with family and friends and would even help you if you were in distress or share their last bottle of vodka with you. But this wouldn’t have made Communism all right.
Rather, an ideology must be judged by what it says and Islam stands as the only major religion that calls for war to be made upon mankind “until all religion is with Allah” (Sura 8:39). The Koran has 109 verses in it directing Islam’s believers to wage this religious war across the earth. Also, some 60% of the Koran is about hating the non-Muslim. Not one passage in the Koran instructs Muslims to love non-Muslims. Moreover, Islam sanctions to this very day the killing of a Muslim who converts to another faith, as found in the Koran (Sura 4:89) and in the hadiths (e.g., Bukhari Hadith 9.84.57). Islam even sanctions rape, the code phrase being “captives of the right hand” and this heinous sanction can be found in Suras 4,23,33 and 70. The more devout the Muslim the more these iniquitous features of Islam will be carried out and/or supported. Over 38,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide just since 9/11 is one of many indicators of how awful the creed of Mohammed is.
Error # 2 is your woeful understanding of history. What is now Israel was not land stolen from the Palestinians but either bought (and at exorbitant prices) from Turkish or Arab landowners or won in warfare that had as its design the elimination of the Jewish state. Palestine in the early and mid-19th century was a sorry-ass place which Mark Twain said was even more desolate than Nevada, which he didn’t think possible until he visited there. Jews started filtering back in as early as the 1870’s (and there had always been at least some Jews in Palestine from the expulsion by the Romans onwards, though of course the vast majority were elsewhere for many centuries) and the Balfour Declaration gave them much hope for a small Jewish state. As early as the 1920’s terror began against the Jews by Arab Muslims, led by the Mufti of Jerusalem, Hah Amin al-Husseini. The Jews responded with their own fighting groups and, yes, a minority of them like the Stern Gang were extremist but the huge difference here is that the Jews got rid of their extremists and the moderates prevailed while the Arabs got rid of their moderates and the extremists prevailed—this going on even after Israel was created in 1948. The assassination of old King Abdullah of Jordan and Anwar Sadat of Egypt are two such examples.
Israel has offered peace to the Arabs from the outset. The 1947 UN partition plan gave Jews three areas of what was left over after 78% of the British Mandate was sectioned off in 1922 with the creation of Transjordan and where no Jews were allowed, three areas to the Arabs and Jerusalem as an international city under UN auspices. So, of the original British Mandate formed after WWI, by 1947 only 22% of it remained and the Jews were given per the 1947 plan a little more than half of this remaining 22%. This was good enough for them but not for the Arabs who started the first war against the Jews as of the very creation of Israel. Subsequent wars followed (and much terror) because to the Arab Muslim world at large no Jewish state, no matter how small, is acceptable. Arabs have over twenty nations but one Jewish nation is still too much for them. BTW, many Arabs filtered into British Palestine from other areas because the Jews made this largely desiccated area into a thriving, productive agricultural land by way of irrigation, modern agronomy methods, etc. Arafat himself came form Egypt.
Error #3 is your contention that the Jews are the terrorists. This is ludicrous and reveals that you don’t realize that many of the actions and directives found in the Old Testament are only descriptive, for a long ago time, while everything in the Koran is prescriptive and helps to explain why Jews don’t go around terrorizing other peoples in the modern world but Muslims most certainly do (don’t forget that 38,000 figure I mentioned above). Moreover, the directive respecting real estate was for the Jews to sequester for themselves a small area of land about the size of Maryland but the directive for the Muslims is to hold sway over all the land on earth. This real estate “differential” is huge and should never be overlooked.
Error #4 is also ridiculous. Muslims are not impressed with the Gospels. Their own religion says they are distortions of the truth. The love preached by Jesus stands in stark contrast to Mohammed’s statements and actions as found in the hadiths, sira and even the Koran. I think you live in a make believe world if you really think that Muslims admire the Gospels. Try taking a copy of the Gospels into a mosque sometime and attempt to show it to Muslims. By contrast, if one brought a Koran into a Christian church, no repression or violence would ensue.
This is enough. Reconsider. Do so because you have gotten so many things wrong.

Utter madness. Muslims regularly admit that terrorism against the Jews is indeed a Jihad. Pretenting this is not so is just bizarre.

This is really odd. You have admitted before that you understand the horrors of Islam–including its murderous antipathy to Christians and Christianity. If a few Muslims have not decided to embrace the full savagery of Islam and attack you yet, it doesn’t mean that Islam is not violent.
As for Christians in Palestine, they are being attacked, forcibly converted, driven out and murdered outright by their Muslim “neighbors”. There are few Christians surviving there now, in the very cradle of Christianity.
And no–it is Israelis who are the victims. Pretending that the bloody, decades-long Jihad against Israel is throwing a few firecrackers is ludicrous.
Jews have been in the Levant for over three thousand years–but Muslims hate the idea of *any* Jews being able to live free of the Muslim heel.
And the implication that Muslims were friendly to the idea of a Jewish state is *quite* mistaken. Muslims were mass muhrdering Jews there before Israel existed in its modern form.
The checkpoints were set up so that Muslims could no longer bring in explosives to murder Israelis. Were you fine with the days when Muslims were regularly blowing up buses and pizza parlors?
And the idea that Muslims slaughtering Jews is fine, but that mocking Jihad murderers is an “injustice” is really sick. And the idea that murderous Muslims are following the Gospel makes no sense at all. Muslims reject the Gospel, and the role of the Muslim “Jesus” is to slaughter Christians in the last days.
Jews are no threat to Christians, but Muslims certainly are. It seems that you have embraced the hatred of Jews inculcated in so many Muslim hellholes. Very troiubling.

Dr. Mazari speaks of “the cycle of hate and extremism”.
That is a good description of what is taught in mosques.
Aussie Infidel says
Shireen Mazari is just another Muslim propagandist. And their continual bleating about “Islamophobia” is beginning to sound like a worn-out record. Every savvy kafir knows that the real meaning of Islamophobia is. “Fear of a religious and political ideology which commands its followers to cut our throats”. And that’s not an irrational fear, but one which is very real – as evidenced by the 38,000 or so deadly jihad attacks since 9/11.
But many gullible westerners still do not understand that devious political ploy, and continue to believe that Islam is a “religion of peace”, instead of a vicious criminal ideology which is hell bent on world domination.
“Islam must dominate, not be dominated”, Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
tim gallagher says
I’d say that the more islamophobia, which I would call hatred of Islam or Islamoloathing (well deserved for all the evil and misery Islam has brought to the human race for 1400 years), we have, the better. To my mind, it means that more people are seeing Islam clearly and are responding appropriately to this evil ideology by hating it and fighting against it. If only more people would wake up and there would be more Islamophobia or Islamoloathing we would be able to deal with this enemy more effectively.

Thanks for that, Michael. The problem we have in dealing with islam is definitely that not enough of the sleepwalkers (often very nice people, I have siblings and friends amongst them) who still are not awake to what islam is all about, that it wants to impose its primitive, barbaric way of life on everyone. If enough of the populations of our countries wake up in time ( alas, I don’t see it happening) we would keep Islam out of all our countries and, ultimately, destroy islam. I’d love that to happen. It is what islam deserves. Islam certainly is the “religion of Kill Them” – no doubt about that.

“…the sleepwalkers (often very nice people, I have siblings and friends amongst them)…”
So do I, tim – and they somehow *presume* that you feel the same way that they do regarding islam / US Presidential election – without even asking!
But they’re only “nice” until they find out that you have a different opinion – and you discuss something of substance backed up with factual evidence.
And these same people generally voted for Biden/Harris.
Very telling…
tim gallagher says
James, I do notice that the people I am talking about are gradually waking up more and more to the nasty nature of Islam. I suppose the evidence about islam’s vile nature just keeps piling up. Five or ten years ago they would have had a far softer view of Islam. My situation is that I get along well with the lefties in my family and among my friends and they are used to me and I’m used to them. I have mentioned these people previously to gravenimage. They are good people. They also think that I’m a pretty good person though a bit of a weirdo (which is definitely true) and, for some reason, a very right wing person. My late mother was a conservative like me and would sometimes say to me, since we saw things in a similar way, that she couldn’t understand why her other children were all left wingers. We are used to one another and we do look after one another but we do tend to avoid talking politics and stick to other things, such as sport, music and relationships, etc. In US terms, yes, these people would have voted for Biden and I would have voted for Trump. Probably only one of my friends would have also voted for Trump. I go my own way, have strong opinions, and I’m not too fussed by the politics of these people as they mostly are very decent people, just very misguided (I think) when it comes to politics from my point of view. Sometimes these people will express an opinion and I’ll think, how the hell can you see things that way.
James Lincoln says
tim gallagher,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I still get along with my classic liberal friends and family members. I don’t tend to bring up politics with them, but if *they* do – and they press me – I won’t lie to them.
At least one of my nieces is a leftist – and I keep my conversation with her brief and superficial.
Too bad, it’s possible that a lot of these people might actually learn something from me…
tim gallagher says
Thanks for your reply, James. Sorry it took me a long time to reply. I was pretty busy doing some other stuff. The left wingers that I know generally don’t raise politics much with me because they know I won’t agree with their point of view and they certainly won’t change my stubbornly held opinions. What interests me is the way that the left wingers I know, several far smarter than me in terms of academic success, get locked into the left wing media sources. The TV and radio and newspapers that they get their information from all push the usual leftie line. So I look at them and I think how even smart people can just end up parroting the usual left of centre rubbish (well, rubbish from my viewpoint) once they get their view of things from the left wing media. A lot of the left wing take on things always seemed like bullshit to me (maybe I’m wrong, if so too bad) and so I wouldn’t waste a second of my time on the left wing news sources. As you say, James, maybe one day these left wingers will wake up. As I mentioned, on Islam, I’ve seen a gradual change. It’s been interesting. So many Muslim terrorist attacks, etc, I guess. It’s definite progress. These sleepwalkers or slow learners are waking up. Better late than never.

Dr. Shireen Mazari called for breaking the cycle of hate and extremism.
If sincere, Dr. Mazari should tell Muslims to abandon the essential Islamic teaching of hate called AL WALAA WAL BARAA. Dr. Shireen Mazari called for the breaking the cycle of hate and extremism.
http://westindanger.com/wb/walaa-baraa.html
Al Walaa wal Baraa (comradeship and segregation) is a teaching requiring Muslims to direct hatred and hostility against the dirty kufaar ‘for the sake of Allah’.
OLD GUY says
Dr. Mazari is saying basically “Don’t hate them as they hate you” or else. Islam see’s their violence and killings of non-islamic people as an act of love for Allah. Therefore any one who speaks out against islam falsely or with true facts they don’t want to hear becomes an enemy of Islam and Allah. A cult can always justify their actions with some sort of religious doctrine.
Islam is a DICTATORSHIP controlling the daily lives of its followers with an IRON HAND.
somehistory says
The word and its use by moslims is what is political….it was coined for that purpose…and it is used to make “gains” by moslims ;to be given special privileges where none is deserved.
moslims use this word when they seek political office and after they get into office in order to make inroads for islam. see i. omar’s, tlaib’s, elison’s, and others for the use of the word for political gain and increased power and privilege.
This ugly creature is, herself, using it for the same gains.
