Pour parler de la haine contre les musulmans, le terme « #islamophobie » est inapproprié puisqu'il confond stigmatisation des croyants et critique de l'islam. Les institutions utilisent l'expression "racisme anti-musulman". 2/11

Le terme « #islamophobie » a été imposé par les islamistes avec pour objectif d'interdire toute forme de critique à l'égard de l'islam radical, sous couvert d'une défense -fallacieuse- de la religion musulmane. 5/11

Le terme « #islamophobie » sert à introduire un « délit de blasphème », qui n'existe pas dans notre pays. Les conséquences peuvent en être dramatiques. 6/11

The SG-CIPDR is the Secretary-General of the Comité Interministériel de Prévention de la Délinquance et de la Radicalisation (CIPDR), a French government counter-terror agency. The principal tweets in this thread say: “To speak of hatred against Muslims, the term ‘Islamophobia’ is inappropriate since it confuses stigmatization of believers with criticism of Islam. Institutions use the expression ‘anti-Muslim racism.’ It is not allowed to call for hatred or discrimination against religious groups. But it is permissible to criticize belief systems or philosophical views. It’s freedom of speech….The term ‘Islamophobia’ was imposed by Islamists with the aim of prohibiting any form of criticism of radical Islam, under the guise of a – fallacious – defense of the Muslim religion. The term ‘Islamophobia’ serves to introduce a ‘crime of blasphemy,’ which does not exist in our country. The consequences can be dramatic.”
It is gratifying to see the French government state what I’ve been saying again and again for years, that the term “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. The CIPDR statement is a rebuke to organizations such as France’s now-dissolved Collective Against Islamophobia and, in the US, groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, which have grown wealthy and influential by destroying the professional lives of critics of jihad violence and Sharia oppression. Can the “Islamophobes” have their reputations back now?

islamofobic for us, islamolusting for them… the lust for islam and appeasment of it gone above any known perversion to the world… this is observed even in a country that has suffered hundreds of victims that have been brutally massacred including tourists…. lepen will come and half words of the current french government will become history… any country that wants to survive will change its tactics on the invaders of europe dramatically….. just how france is next year…
mortimer says
France has discovered that unless Islam is aggressively debunked, the jihadists will debunk France and crush it to death as Islam crushed many other cultures.
mortimer says
Enfin, vous l’avez,
It sounds as if someone in the French government has been reading Robert Spencer. They have repeated almost EXACTLY what Mr. Spencer has been writing in the last 3 years on Jihadwatch.
Congratulations, Mr. Spencer … you’re getting through at long last! And ‘bravo’ to the people in the French internal affairs ministry.
Finally, you are getting it.
Lavéritétriomphera says
@Mortimer,
Salut,
« Enfin vous l’avez,«
Et ce n’est pas fini.
And I am not the only one who thinks that not enough is being done in this sense.
The use of the term Islamophobia is intellectually dishonest, a con job.
Robert Spencer is welcome in the country of Voltaire, Descartes, Montesquieu, Zemmour …
Bien à vous
Hoi Polloi says
Absolutely. Congratulations to Robert Spencer, who stuck it out and kept going in the face of intense persecution. And thank you France for speaking honestly, occasionally. Let’s hope this develops into more than the occasional on this front so vital to the survival of France.

The reason that the term ‘islamophobia’ is inappropriate is that it’s not a phobia! Any fear, resentment or hostility towards both islam and muslims is perfectly rational given everything they’ve done since 2001, if not 632 AD
If one is afraid of a butterfly ?, it’s a phobia. If one’s afraid of a scorpion ?, it’s not. Similarly, any hostility towards Christianity✝, Judaism✡, Buddhism☸, Hinduism? or other faiths is a phobia. The same attitude towards Islam☪ is not!!

British philosopher Anthony Flew discussed the illogical errors in “Islamophobia’:
“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 was renowned for his work on the philosophy of religion

French government: Term ‘Islamophobia’ inappropriate, ‘confuses stigmatization of believers with criticism of Islam’
……………
Good to hear this!
mortimer says
Quelle surprise! But we have been saying it for almost 20 years.
La Plume de Maat says
As we say in french “tout arrive pour qui sait attendre”: everything comes to those who can wait. And another one perhaps more appropriate and goes very well with the first one “Il n’est jamais trop tard pour bien faire”: It’s never too late to do it right.
Popular common sens.
Lavéritétriomphera says
@Plume de Maat,
Bonjour,
En France la critique des religions est une institution, l’islam ne doit pas échapper à la règle.
In France the criticism of religions is a societal institution, Islam can’t escape this fact.
Bien à toi

Oui, très bien!

Excellent question Robert. The pendulum has swung too far into lefty lunatic fringe that the ‘center’ has finally begun to see that we were being hosed by that nonsensical ‘Islamophobia’ scam for a long time.
Muslims have been milking their fake victimhood status and bullying everyone into silence for decades. Yet what cannot be ignored was the endless stream of Islamic terrorism, violence, rape and aggression going on in the background for years.
We’re still a very long way from a true ‘Awakening’ in the West, but at least France has started taking some small steps in the right direction. Maybe they’re starting to grow a spine-unlike the UK.
It reminds me of the Simpson’s episode where Homer very slowly realizes he can’t afford to give up the dental plan (in exchange for a keg of beer).
The West now needs to realize we cannot give up one inch of our freedom in exchange for Muslims behaving peacefully (so long as we acquiesce to their demands).

Why was the French government forced to explain the term Islamophobia?
The Turkish State press Anadolu Agency wrote a proposed French law is legalizing Islamophobia, with the aim to alienate Muslims, and interfere with Islam, while this proposed law also was not be necessary and proportionate.
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/france-aims-to-legalize-islamophobia/2192135
The Turks, that have a very important say in the EU and NATO, demand from the French government that the French only interfere with “religion”, every time massacres are committed in the streets of France, or only if an area in France is completely controlled by sharia laws.
No, a government has to take necessary preventive measures, when noticing many of the above mentioned things are happening in the country.
Just wait, and let things completely run out of control, to adjust only afterward, is costly and not considered good government management.

I just fell off my chair.
I just discovered that ISLAM HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ISLAM.
Andrew Blackadder says
muslims around the World, are engaging in Jewaphobia and Christianaphobia every bloody day but nothing is mentioned about that on MSM…weird huh, when its The Left that constantly tell us, in their self righteous manner, that it is the Jews that are controlling the Media and Hollywood..
Do these morons actually think before they open their mouths?.
James Lincoln says
To them, Andrew, thinking is optional…
Jewcat says
Mortimer you made me laugh! I’ve been saying that for a while now and it’s great to hear someone else who’s noticed the absurdity. I also say ‘Islam has nothing to do with Islam’ — another way of saying it.

La Plume de Maat says
The word “Islamophobia” is both a brilliant invention of Muslim clerics to deceive the non-Muslim world and, above all, an intellectual swindle. Bravo to France for officially clarifying things. We are now hoping for an outcry from the Muslim world against this French declaration in order to get maximum publicity for it.
Anne says
“Islamophobia,” and its perfect clarification appears in time for April Fool’s Day! France shows Europe just how long they’ve all been played the Fool.
