There has been a steady drumbeat of Muslims-Are-Victims-After-9/11 stories over the last few days, despite the fact that this year and every other year since 9/11, anti-Jewish hate crimes were far more common than anti-Muslim hate crimes, and last year anti-Muslim hate crimes dropped by 42%. The idea that Muslims have been victims of large-scale discrimination and harassment in the United States since 9/11 is also belied by the rise in Muslim immigration into the country. Why would they come to a place where they know they will be mistreated? And the establishment media certainly has been working hard to tell them that they will be.
The entire “Islamophobia” initiative is an attempt to silence speech critical of Islam.
“20 years after 9/11, Islamophobia continues to haunt Muslims,” by Kiara Alfonseca, ABC News, September 11, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Sept. 11, 2001, marked the start of a new era for Muslims in the United States.
Shortly after al-Qaida terrorists attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, many Muslims, as well as other Arab Americans, became the targets of anger and racism.
Mosques were burned or destroyed and death threats and harassment followed many Muslims in the weeks following the attacks, according to congressional testimony from the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2011. Some victims were beaten, attacked or held at gunpoint for merely being perceived as Muslim, the organization said.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who is Muslim, reflected on 9/11 and the discrimination that followed in an interview with ABC News. “As Americans, as people who are living here, we were also attacked,” she said. “This is our community, this is our country, and there were Muslims who lost their lives in those towers, who were Muslim firefighters, who lost their lives.”
She added, “There is a desire by many to use our faith and our identity as a weapon against us and to ‘other’ us. That has been really harmful in so many ways.”…

Same old story. A warped white man attacks muslims and our politicians go into overdrive about Islamophobia.
A muslim attacks western people or targets and our politicians go into overdrive about how there shouldnt be a backlash against muslims.
Not that there should be any form of viglilantiism but the muslims seem to have it both ways.
mortimer says
Most Muslims don’t want to be challenged about Islamic terrorism, because they try not to think about it. Most Muslims push Islamic terrorism out of their minds.
Muslims tend to refuse to admit to themselves that they are part of the system of terrorism, and that by failing to denounce it, they are complicit.
For many years after 9-11, Osama bin Laden was still getting high approval ratings among Muslims in opinion surveys taken in many countries.
People are now forgetting 9-11 and a new generation of Muslims may not even have heard of it.
Ilhan Omar said, “SOME PEOPLE DID SOMETHING”. She is whitewashing 9-11.

Dear Mortimer, the idea that most Muslims not wanting tho wo think about Jihad terror is compatible with many of them approving of Osama bin Laden I’m afraid makes no sense. Surely Muslims who didn’t want to think about terror would either disapprove of bin Laden or not to think about him at all?
And it is true that many in the west are forgetting about 9/11–they don’t want to think about unpleasant things, or to scare their kids.
But pious Muslims actually consider Jihad–especially 9/11–to be a great victory over the hated Infidels.
Derek says
I am sorry I do not quite agree with Mortimer on this. In my view, all muslims are well aware of their scripture. There are only two broad types: those who take pride in jihad openly, and those who pretend to by “Dr. Jekylls”. There are no good or bad Muslims. There are only Muslims.
In their heart of hearts, they would conjure up justifications of jihad as the only weapon has left for the poor muslims. No issue is justified to massacre mindlessly.
I would give an example of a good muslim from one of Robert’s interviews: when asked to comment on the massacre after the cartoons appeared, a good muslim commented that he did not approve of it as only the people who drew or supported the cartoons should be murdered.
If Europe and US continue in the present direction, it would go the India way – where after decades of appeasement, which is now ingrained down to the education system, gazba I hind seems to be a mathematical certainty.
Infidel says
Oh, Ilhan, shut up! Muslim firefighters, however many there were, did not try to put out fires or lose their lives doing it b’cos of any islamic edicts. They did so b’cos it was in their job description. That’s different from the 19 hijackers who tried to take down the towers, the Pentagon and Congress b’cos they wanted revenge for US infidel presence in the Arabian peninsula
mortimer says
“SOME PEOPLE DID SOMETHING” – Ilhan Omar
(Conclusion: she wants us to just forget about it.)
somehistory says
Someone left ilhan elmi’s, alias omar, “cake out in the rain” and by cracky, she’s gonna’ whine and lie about how very tasty it was, and her “recipe” is to attempt to guilt-trip her way up the ladder of praise and adoration, while hearing, “I’m Sorry,” constantly.
:Same old song.” It’s really tiresome. The question is, how dumb does one have to allow the self to be to fall for this garbage?
i. elmi, alias omar, is getting paid big bucks to be “rep” for the People of the U.S….all of the People, not just her muz buds. Her fellow squad member, tlaib, also gets paid big dollars for the same job she isn’t doing.
A mozlum was allowed to sit 8 years with his feet on the desk in the Oval Office. A mozlum was elected to Congress before the two female’s with huge mozlum mouths and shoulder-chips. A mozlum was there, but is now an AG…after it was revealed he is a violent woman- abuser.
c.a.i.rats are called on for every photo/expert op to trumpet how wonderful, how creative, how innocent mozlums are.
Never before in human history has such a vile group of creatures been touted so much while claiming to be the victims of so much hate and discrimination.
satan has their backs.
mortimer says
Dear somehistory, Kindly learn some real history and do not make up your own facts to suit your spontaneity… a real historian abhors it when people do that!
Obama was truly a convert to Christianity and there is no reason to doubt that. I have thoroughly examined this issue and that is true beyond question.
mortimer says
Dear somehistory, Are you on drugs?
somehistory says
Don’t refer to me as “Dear” and then proceed to insult me.
“o” is not now, nor ever was, a Christian. He made the claim…he went to a “church”…a “congregation” of idiots and racists and homosexuals and liars…. in a pretense so he could be “elected”…to coverup the fact of his mozlum upbringing, his daddy being mozlum, his step-daddy being mozlum, going to a mozlum school registered as “mozlum.”
He said to george s, “my mozlum faith”…..One cannot be a mozlum and also a Christian.
he lied over and over and over….One cannot be a liar and a Christian.
He said that he would “stand with mozlums if the wind shifted,” and then he brought in more mozlums to this country, keeping Christians out.
The Christian Greek Scriptures admonish us to do good to our “brothers related to us in the faith.” His actions were in direct opposition to that command.
The Apostle John told us not to invite someone who opposes the “teaching” into our homes or even say “a greeting,” to him, but your fav slime did just that….invited members of terror groups into the WH and greeted so many mozlums it is an uncountable number.
He is not a Christian. He works for satan’s religion of deceit and terror.
He went to Egypt and had the mb…a terror org banned in that country…sit in the front row while he spoke about mozlum women being allowed to wear their ugly scarf whenever and wherever they wanted in the U.S.
He lied about the mozlums having accomplished things in this country, put the people at NASA on notice to promote mozlums and make them feel good…important…and he said the “holy” book meaning the filth of islam. gloried in the fake “call to prayer,” sound…
He slandered Christians when he talked about us “getting on our high horses,” and he misused the Bible…not calling it Holy…and lied about what it does say.
now, mort…you go and learn some things. You don’t know as much as you believe you do.
and don’t bother calling me “dear” in future. Get down off your high horse and pray for Divine guidance because your “examination” is flawed, faulty, and false.
You should be ashamed of yourself for the last remark to me. But, in your arrogance, I don’t expect an apology or retraction.
somehistory says
And, I just recalled these simple facts of his being mozlum:
He had all mention of islam’s terror taken out of the training materials for those learning how to identify threats.
His efforts toward moslum superiority, led to Mr. Spencer no longer instructing agents of the government on how to recognize islam’s terror tactics and teachings.
And, he stopped the investigation into mozlum’s activities, which allowed the mozlum couple in CA to kill so many innocent people at the Christmas party. There were others being investigated also, yp which ‘o’ put a stop.
I cannot recall the agent’s name, but he told about all of that; and not that long ago, he was found dead in his car on a lonely road; looks like, smells like, reads like, murder for having told the Truth about what ‘o’ had done to open the way for terror attacks on U.S. citizens.
A Christian would never have done any of those things…and more that I have not related.
somehistory says
And lest, you neglect the evidence proving his mozlumness, he stopped the prosecution of the members of c.a.i.rats for their part in the ‘holy land foundation’ funding of terrorism.
He also wears a ring that some say is a ‘wedding’ ring for his fake god and false prophet.
his ordering the doj to prosecute small towns for not wanting mozlum barracks in areas not zoned for such due to noise, traffic problems, etc.
he has never even suggested that any of his “57 states” he visited permit churches to be built for Christians to meet.
he did nothing to stop boko haram for gaining power, and he and clinton assisted the mb to take over Egypt, knowing it was a terror org.
and, one other tidbit; his labeling the terror attack by n hasan in Texas as “workplace violence” so it wouldn’t be counted as an attack by a moslum terrorist for the spreading of the terror of islam.
Christian he isn’t and the facts prove it.
Infidel says
Mort
I’d ask you the very question you asked Somehistory: which drugs are you on? The ‘church’ that Obama ‘converted’ to was the ‘God damn America’ church of Rev Jeremiah Wright! He claimed that that phrase is in the bible. I’m no Christian, and even I know that it ain’t there
somehistory says
Thank you, Indifel.
James Lincoln says
mortimer,
Your knowledge of Islam is encyclopedic, and I respect that.
That being said:
Obama is either a muslim or an extreme muslim apologist.
And he is *very* supportive of islam in general.
If he is a Christian, which I severely doubt, his words and actions have always been contrary to this.
In order to maintain credibility, please politely refute somehistory’s rebuttal to you point by point – with citations.
Thank you.
somehistory says
Thank you, James Lincoln.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, Obama never went to Church before becoming a “commuity organizer” in Chicago–and then it was a political act, in the church of an individual best known for screaming “God damn America!”.
You know this–or should know it. Being so rude to Somehistory is uncalled for here.
somehistory says
Thank you, g.
I kept recalling all evening ‘o’s words to the U.N. and his claim that those of us who don’t worship his fake prophet, don’t have any future…in other words, we are as good as dead.
gravenimage says
Yes, Somehistory. Obama said, “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”. This goes way beyond some Christian who is merely ignorant of the threat of Islam.
mortimer says
The actual implication of the propagandistic slander term ‘Islamophobia’ is that any mention about Islam made by a kafir will be called ‘Islamophobic’.
Any perceived slight, any micro-aggression (whether real or imagined), any casual questioning of Muslims about jihad at the water cooler, any crime-story in the media that mentions the Islamic faith of the perpetrator or any meticulous, scholarly critique of Islam will ALL equally be Islamophobic.
The conclusion of the ‘Islamophobia’ slur is that non-Muslim KAFIRS should NOT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL about Islam, whether in public or privately.
The actual, real, effective definition of ‘Islamophobia’ is this: the slander is used by the mullahs and Islamic apologists whenever someone mentions SOMETHING that they do not like to be mentioned in public. Examples: Mohammed’s child marriage to six-year-old Aisha, Mohammed’s genocide of the Jews of Yathrib, Islam’s slaughter of 400 million Hindus are all correct, but the mullahs and the apologists don’t want anyone to hear about them. Mentioning embarrassing facts is thus ‘Islamophobic’.
Nothing should be said that embarrasses or upsets a Muslim, whether it is true or not. That is where it stands right now.
PRCS says
20 years after 9/11, Islamophobia continues to haunt Muslims
And, since 1993–when Muslims first attacked the World Trade Center–there has been a steady stream of excuses, obfuscations, and outright lies from Muslims and their useful idiots about Islam’s true teachings.
They’re not going to change that tactic/strategy, as it has worked so well so far.
Have any Muslim organizations in the U.S. told the Biden/Blinken crowd that women’s rights in Islam are defined by Islamic law, not our laws, and that the Taliban fully intend to enforce the sharia.
PMK says
So call me an Islamophobe. I don’t care. Sticks and stones….
The fact remains that ISLAM represents a fundamental threat to my way of life. It is a threat to human freedom. So it’s not the only threat we face. That shouldn’t mean we can’t confront it. Whatever happened to “when in Rome, do as the Romans do”? Where in the world have Muslims assimilated?
David Longfellow says
islam is a cancer on the world.
Walter Sieruk says
First , it’s important to be clear that Muslims are not Islam. Therefore it’s very possible to stake a stand against Islam , with all its false doctrines and against Islam’s violent and deadly jihad , yet still like and care about Muslim as people.
Second ,what is ,sometimes, call “Islamophobia ” might well , in many cases are accurately be called “Islamorealism.”

I am *so sick* of this fake Muslim victimhood. That ABC is slinging this tripe on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 is especially appalling.
