“Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: crimes against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary. This article is generally concerned with the former, but measures taken to solve this problem will inevitably restrict the latter. Note also how Aydın Parmaksızoğlu calls for an end to monitoring of Islamic groups, which will allow jihad groups to operate with absolute impunity.
“Rising Islamophobia, Turkophobia in West worry Turks in Europe,” Daily Sabah, January 4, 2021:
The Turkish community in Europe is concerned with the rising trend of Islamophobia and Turkophobia in Western countries, calling on European states to escalate measures against hate crimes.
Kemal Ergün, the head of the Islamic Community National Vision (IGMG) based in Cologne, said that in 2020 alone, there have been 122 attacks on mosques in Germany. The year was particularly marked by the rising number of threatening and insulting letters sent to Muslims, he noted.
Ergün noted that between 2014 and 2020, there have been more than 700 mosque attacks in Germany, stressing the need for mosque attackers to be caught immediately.
“Some mosques are being attacked repeatedly. In some, the level of violence is higher with actions such as arson that can harm people, while in others, the walls of the mosques are being used as canvases to write insults and threats on,” Ergün was quoted as saying by Anadolu Agency (AA).
Ergün also mentioned the impact of terrorist attacks in Europe as a triggering factor in anti-Muslim racism on the continent.
“Unfortunately, the far-right groups, after terrorist attacks that are claimed to be done in the name of Islam, strengthen their anti-Muslim stance even further. The ones who are mostly influenced by this atmosphere are, individually, Muslim women and, institutionally, mosques,” he continued….
The head of Turkish Hearths in the German town of Bruhl, Aydın Parmaksızoğlu, however, underlined that there has always been a phobia against the words “Turk” and “Islam” in Europe and Germany, “to the point that the German authorities were constantly monitoring the associations with the words, Turk and Islam, in their names, while others were being able to skip the monitoring process. Even this proves the phobia against Turks and Islam,” he said.

Why’s there a ‘Turkish community’ in Europe – to carve out more Azerbaijans from those countries? Not that they will, but European countries should vet all their Turkish residents, accept those who reject islam and Turkish nationalism, and deport all the rest back to Turkey

Love the way you use their own statements.
“claimed to be done in the name of Islam” …… But when their head dude issued unrelenting calls for violence, where is the line? Perhaps he should have first enlightened us all and then issued an injunction against violence of any kind. Alas, no.
“strengthen their anti-Muslim stance”…. But they always fail to properly delineate the ways that is phobic, rather than reasonable.
“mostly influenced by this atmosphere are, individually, Muslim women”….. Are these the ones repeatedly claiming, falsely, to have had their scarves pulled off?
“while others were being able to skip the monitoring process. Even this proves the phobia against Turks and Islam,” he said.”……. Because nothing proves the repeated slander of mental illness by way of phobia against such generous hosts like allowing elderly women, long established in their communities in an association like [ Town Name ] Garden Club to escape continual high level monitoring. I see his point. Poor dude. Maybe they should move on.

British philosopher Anthony Flew also discussed the illogical thoughts in the false psychiatric term ‘Islamophobia’. There is legitimate reason to fear a vicious ideology:
“I would never regard Islam with anything but HORROR and FEAR, because it is fundamentally committed to conquering the world for Islam… it is, I think, best described in a Marxian way as the uniting and justifying ideology of Arab imperialism.”
– Philosopher Anthony Flew renowned for his work on the philosophy of religion
The Islamophobia accusation is supremacist mirroring and psychological projection. It is Muslims who have a prejudice, hatred and disgust directed against ‘KAFIRS’. ‘KAFIROPHOBIA’ is a real condition found in Muslims who are required to HATE and be HOSTILE against kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’.
The ‘Islamophobia’ slander-word implies that one should not criticize a supremacist political ideology (Islamism), because the apologists of that supremacist ideology may have hurt feelings.
But if ‘hurt feelings’ are the ultimate criterion of avoiding comment, then nothing controversial should ever be discussed, because someone will be upset by the discussion.
The Islamophobia slander is a distracting accusation based on seriously flawed reasoning. Our modern concern for universal human rights cannot reasonably be called a ‘phobia’.

Germany: Muslim leaders complain of rising ‘Islamophobia’

Fake Islamic victimhood intended to distract from actual Muslim violence against the native Infidel population.

I wonder about the statement “Crimes against innocent moslems…”. It makes me marvel at the “Guilt by Association” frequently applied to the American People who happen to have associations with those more active than themselves. For instance, has anyone ever made such a distinction between militant “Skin-Heads” and the common average people who attend the skin-head Church?
OLD GUY says
Same old story of islam being the victim. Just maybe if islam taught peace and love for everyone instead of a doctrine of enslaving, raping and murdering non-islamic people they wouldn’t have islamophobia and distrust of islam. Murder, rape, slavery, and pedophilia are not exactly normal ideas of religion. Most societies see these actions as major crimes against society not religious acts of peace and love.
Islam get a clue, evil actions are not going to be overlooked by society. So if you don’t like the heat get out of my non-islamic country.
