Let’s hope that this important declaration that charges of “Islamophobia” against Jewish groups are “antisemitic” by the coalition of Orthodox Rabbis has far-reaching effects. Islamic blasphemy principles, which slap the label of “Islamophobia” on anyone who criticizes Islam in any way, not only go against the principles of free societies, but also promote anti-Semitism and provide a cover for the atrocities against Christians and other minorities globally to continue. Kudos to the rabbis.
“In every case, CAIR is deliberately claiming that to reject terrorism is anti-Muslim,” Rabbi Yaakov Menken, the managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), told Fox News Digital.
Would CAIR state that the Quran’s verses of terror are “anti-Muslim?”
“I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.” (Quran 8:12)
We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers. (Quran 3:151)
Deception and outright lies (aka taqiyya) are a signature of every Islamic supremacist and jihadist. Read more about the violent texts of Islam HERE.
“Orthodox rabbis condemn CAIR, say charges of ‘Islamophobia’ against Jewish groups ‘antisemitic,'” by Tyler O’Neil, Fox News, November 18, 2022:
A coalition that represents more than 2,000 Orthodox Jewish rabbis on American public policy issues condemned a recent report from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) regarding “Islamophobia in the Mainstream,” calling the report “both pro-terror and antisemitic.”
“In every case, CAIR is deliberately claiming that to reject terrorism is anti-Muslim,” Rabbi Yaakov Menken, the managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), told Fox News Digital. “It is hard to imagine something that incites animus towards Islam and all who practice it more than the idea that tolerance for Islam requires acceptance of atrocities committed by purported believers.”
The CAIR report faulted charitable foundations for passing money along to “26 Islamophobia Network groups between 2017-2019 to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories about Muslims and Islam.”
“As it is employed today, ‘Islamophobia’ is fake news,” CJV Midwestern Regional VP Rabbi Ze’ev Smason said in a statement provided first to Fox News. Smason said CAIR deserved “robust condemnation for spreading hate under the guise of religion.”
“CAIR was founded by individuals associated with Hamas, a genocidal terror organization, to provide a PR front and support the Hamas agenda in the U.S.,” CJV President Rabbi Pesach Lerner said. “It was an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal Holy Land Foundation anti-terror case, and now employs the charge of ‘Islamophobia’ as a cudgel to attack foundations, organizations and outspoken individuals who call it out correctly and truthfully as an apologist for terrorism.”
The U.S. government had shut down The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the largest Muslim organization in the U.S. at the time, in 2001. In 2008, its leaders received life sentences for “funneling $12 million to Hamas,” which the U.S. has designated a terrorist organization. CAIR opened its first office with a $5,000 grant from the Holy Land Foundation, and its founders participated in an October 1993 meeting in Philadelphia with Hamas sympathizers and HLF officials, according to prosecutors in the HLF case.
CAIR has long contested claims regarding ties to Hamas. In a 2017 blog post aiming to “dispel rumors,” the organization noted that “there is no legal implication to being labeled an unindicted co-conspirator, since it does not require the Justice Department to prove anything in a court of law.” CAIR also noted an October 2010 ruling in which Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals judges ruled that the Department of Justice violated the Fifth Amendment rights of groups like CAIR when it included them on the unindicted coconspirator list in 2007. ….

Some years ago when “Islamophobia” was given that name, a CAIR representative named Corey something or another defined it as an IRRATIONAL fear of Islam. What could be wrong about that comment? Perhaps to fear Islam is hardly irrational.
Frances Weingarten says
These people create an ugly group whose main goal is the destruction of anything that’s out of line with what is accaptable to them!
Bruce Stanton says
And will the Coalition continue to vote democrat to ensure open borders and unrestricted immigration of jihadists?
WPM says
Good for those Rabbis for speaking the truth ,they should try to get some of those open progressive Rabbis from non-Orthodox Jewish sects on board it is the only way they can fight back ,remember never forget.

Eric Shawn—the “reporter” in that Fox News video—continues to regurgitate that “radical Islamic terrorism” nonsense.
On one of those many occasions, I posted a tweet telling him there’s no such thing and that he’s misinforming his viewers.
His equally clueless wife responded in his defense.

Good for these guys. it’s about time that they spoke some truth regarding c.a.i.rats org and what islam is all about….and that to avoid a charge of being guilty of having an irrational fear of islam, one must accept, embrace in other words, terrorism and all that word implies
Others who *know* these truths, should be willing to speak out and tell everyone they can about islam ;and that if one expresses a dislike of terror in the name of islam, c.a.i.rats and their ilk, will claim it’s hatred of mozlums and a “phobia.”
These Jews should have made all of this clear to the House members before they voted with i.elmi, alias fraudulently named i. omar, to produce an envoy to the world to squash the fake “phobia.”
A “phobia’ designed to squash the Truth about islam and its mandated terror from being heard

Grimly true–yet how many Americans are noticing this?
OLD GUY says
Islamophobia is suppression of the FREEDOM OF SPEACH to cover-up the truth about the violence and hatred of followers of Islamic teachings. Islam should be declassified as a religion, it is a political ideology using a cult style “religion” following to justify its actions.
