The term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: crimes against innocent Muslims, or discrimination against them, neither of which is ever justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary. Islamic advocacy groups and their Leftist allies have been insisting for years that such analysis, too, constituted “Islamophobia.” And they mean to silence it and force the West to adopt what are in essence Sharia blasphemy restrictions.
You can see Khan’s agenda here in his words: “institutional suspicion and fear of Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim has escalated to epidemic proportions.”
Suspicion and fear are wrong, you see? It is wrong to be concerned about jihad terrorism, and that concern must be criminalized.
If Khan really wanted to rid the world of “Islamophobia,” understood as suspicion and fear of Muslims, he should rid the world of jihad terrorism. That would end “Islamophobia” immediately.
“Islamophobia escalating to pandemic proportions, warns Pakistan,” by Anwar Iqbal, Dawn, February 10, 2022:
UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan has urged the international community to focus on combating the rising phenomenon of Islamophobia, which now forms part of far-right and neo-fascist parties’ manifestos in several countries.
“We are witnessing the global resurgence in intolerance, discrimination, racism, negative stereotyping, and violence against persons, on the basis of religion or belief,” warned Ambassador Aamir Khan, Pakistan’s deputy permanent representative to the UN.
Addressing a meeting of UN Alliance of Civilisation (UNAOC) in New York on Tuesday afternoon, Ambassador Khan said while no religious community was “immune from such discrimination, a particularly alarming trend is the global resurgence in Islamophobia.”
This, he said, was a major cause of concern for Muslims across the globe. Borrowing a quote from a UN report on freedom of religion and belief, Ambassador Khan pointed out that “institutional suspicion and fear of Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim has escalated to epidemic proportions.”
In 2005, some UN members founded the Alliance of Civilisations to reduce tensions between the Muslim world and the West that escalated rapidly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States.
One of the core objectives of this Alliance was to advance mutual respect for all cultures, traditions and religious beliefs, and to serve as a platform to bridge divergence and friction especially between the West and Islam.
In one of its key documents — “A call for Mutual Respect” — the alliance noted with “deep concern” the growing tensions and intolerance triggered by the publication of the satirical caricatures.
The document notes that Muslims consider this insulting, and deeply offensive and such inflammatory caricatures also provoke acts of violence against innocent civilians, attacked for their sheer religion, belief or ethnicity. The document calls for mutual respect of all religions and beliefs and for fostering a culture of fraternity and peace.
In a recent statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin also emphasised this point, saying that insulting a prophet does not count as freedom of expression. This was rather a “violation of religious freedom and the violation of the sacred feelings of people who profess Islam,”, he added….
At the United Nations, “an unequivocal show of empathy and solidarity with victims of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred would help in responding to public concern in many Muslim countries,” he added.
In recent years, key world leaders and UN officials, including the Secretary General, have underscored the importance of collectively addressing the problem of Islamophobia.

Translation: Infidels are starting to realize that the “islamophobia” racket is a lie and that muslims will never give up on jihad and islamic supremacy.
mortimer says
My translation: ‘Islamophobia’ is expanding, because Islamists are expanding the definition of forbidden speech to include almost everything said about Islam.
Only the mullahs and ayatollahs have a right to speak about Islam.
This is the opposite of free speech.

Spot on, libertyORdeath and Mortimer.
libertyORdeath says
I completely agree. The more people wake up, the more censorship is needed.
libertyORdeath says
Sounds like the BLM “systemic racism” claim.
It really means that you are only allowed to portray blacks and muslims in the best possible light. Any criticism is just “far-right” racism and intolerance.
Ecosse1314 says
Maybe Pakistan could get rid of their blasphemy laws
gravenimage says
Saying that is “Islamophobic”…
tim gallagher says
Sounds like good news to me if this thing called Islamophobia is on the rise because it surely means that more and more people are finally waking up to Islam’s evil nature and its goals. If so, it has been a bloody long time coming and there have been so many very slow learners around, but, if even the slow learners are waking up, then that has to be a good thing.
Infidel says
In the meantime, while they are busy persecuting their own religious minorities for blasphemy, they have decided to demand an explanation from India for why muslimahs ain’t allowed to wear hijabs to classes in secular schools
I understand why India still has diplomatic relations w/ Pakistan: it’s to enable Paki Hindus, Christians and Sikhs to legally come to India. But the rest of the world has no such reason. So whenever Pakistan criticizes a Denmark or France or any other country for ‘islamophobia’, that country should respond by pulling out all its citizens from Pakistan, expelling all Paki citizens in their country and terminating diplomatic relations w/ Pakistan
raja says
Infidel,
Your observations are worth pondering for the infidel West. Some Serious and good suggestion. This should be followed up with boycott of Islamic country goods (by saner countries) unless essential or business-savvy reasons. If only the West develops some spine against this evil cult and also confronts it (an utopian dream right now) , there would be lot more sanity and check on Islamic attacks.
Right now the world is engrossed in taming the corona producer and bully.
Infidel says
I already boycott anything that is made in an islamic country, and right now, the one I encounter most often is Bangladesh, followed by Indonesia and then Pakistan. I also boycott anything halal certified. But I was talking at government levels. The next time Pakistan acts up against any country, aside from its eternal enemy India, that country should just sever all relations w/ Pakistan
Nothing of value will be lost
PMK says
Who knew Muslims had such thin skin? If we don’t all love them, they are hurt. They can dish out the hate and the ‘death’ calls but they can’t take not being loved. Boo hoo!!!!
Will someone please tell they they get what they give? What goes around comes around!!!!
Ben says
The word ‘Islamophobia’ was created by fascists and used by idiots to silence those critical of the cult’s pernicious belief structure and behavior.
mortimer says
In fact, ‘Islamophobia’ in effect is any statement that Muslims do not want us to make about Islam, whether it is true and accurate or not.
They do not want us to tell the truth about jihad, how many deaths it cause per day (50), how many deaths since Mohammed began his raids (270 million).
Muslims don’t want us to mention Mohammed’s marriage to a nine-year-old or his slaughers of unarmed civilians or his rape of married women or his necrophilia or his contract killings of his verbal critics.
Islam is an honor culture and whatever REDUCES the ‘honor’ and PRESTIGE or ‘IMAGE’ of Islam is by their definition ‘Islamophobic’. Truth is not a defense … it turns out that the issue is ‘HONOR’ for the Muslims who shout ‘Islamophobia’.
Ben says
Islamophobia is a word Created by fascist, used by idiots in an effort to silence those critical of the core and pernicious tenets of Islam.
mortimer says
“I would never regard Islam with anything but horror and fear because it is fundamentally committed to conquering the world for Islam … The Koran calls for belief and consequent obedience. It is, surely, calculated to inspire fear, indeed abject terror, rather than love.” – Philosopher Anthony Flew
Aussie Infidel says
Aamir Khan spoke at the UN Alliance of Civilisation, which was set up by the Muslims after ‘9/11’. What an oxymoron that organisation would be. What civilizing influence has Islam ever brought to the world? Hatred and violence toward other religions and cultures? Discriminatory Sharia law? Rape and misogyny? Murder and mayhem? The UAC is just an attempt at international dawa.
Khan says that there has been a “global resurgence in intolerance, discrimination, racism, negative stereotyping” of Islam. If Khan wants to reduce tensions, he might start by urging his jihadist ‘brothers’ to cease their violent attacks against the kuffar.
Did Khan visit the ‘9/11’ memorial while he was in New York? Did he take note of the 3,000 people – including many Muslims – murdered by his Muslim brothers on that day?
“The document calls for mutual respect of all religions and beliefs and for fostering a culture of fraternity and peace”. There is no such thing as respect for other religions and beliefs by Muslims – they are only interested in kafirs respecting them.
“We are witnessing the global resurgence in intolerance, discrimination, racism, negative stereotyping, and violence against persons, on the basis of religion or belief,” warned Ambassador Aamir Khan. What would Khan have us do about the 40,000 or so jihadis who have murdered 100,000 people and injured more than half a million over the past 20 years or so since ‘9/11’? Does he expect us to learn to like them?
“Russian President Vladimir Putin also emphasised this point, saying that insulting a prophet does not count as freedom of expression”. But what if that prophet is a rapist, a pedophile, a robber and a murderer? Asking people to not have any revulsion for such a person is simply asking them to turn a blind eye and shut their mouths to keep the peace?

………………
In other words, too many Infidels are realizing that Islam’s violence may be concerning…
Aamir Khan is a former Bollywood actor, well versed in the kabuki theater of fake Muslim victimhood.

Now Infidels may not even be scared of Muslim violence–this itself is considered “Islamophobic”.
And what of the “UN Alliance of Civilisations”? This was set up in 2005 to “defuse tensions between the Western and Islamic worlds”–in other words, to whitewash Islam for the foolish Infidels. The thug leader of Turkey, Erdogan, is behind this.
“The group argues that mutual suspicion, fear and misunderstanding between Islamic and Christian Western societies has been increasing since the beginning of the new millennium”–gee, what happened at the beginning of the new millennium–well, 9/11, for one thing. This grouo nheavily pushes Muslim migration to the West.
As for mutual respect, this is something Islam specifically *rejects*. This respect is jsut demanded of Infidels, especially the West.
Putin is now flogging this “respect” for the savagery of Islam. as well.
Sancho+Panza says
With respect, gravenimage, this Aamir Khan is a Pakistani, and should not be confused with the Indian movie star with the same name as him, Aamir Khan.
Infidel says
That’s what I thought. The Indian actor did get into a controversy by doing a propaganda gig for Erdogan, but this Aamir Khan is a Paki diplomat, not the Bollywood actor
gregbeetham says
How can anyone who continues to belong to the cult of Islam be innocent?
Yes a great many Muslims probably don’t know all there is to know about Islam but they were indoctrinated when they were young with plenty of Islamic rubbish so they know enough to be able to make a moral judgement call on it later in life. And if they don’t do that they are lost to the dark side willingly and deserve no particular consideration from us.
And what exactly is Putin up too? He knows full well (or he should) what the followers of Islam are capable of, Russia has had plenty of examples from the aftermath of the Chechen and Afghanistan wars. Maybe he’s trying to impress Saudi Arabia; Russia fell out with Saudi Arabia a long time ago and he probably would like a better relationship.
Islamophobia is a load of tripe, it’s typical Muslim propaganda hogwash.
gravenimage says
Greg, Putin has said many times that Islam is an ally to Russia against the “decadence” of the West. He appears to really believe this–as though pedophilia, rape, and murder are moral. *Ugh*.
gregbeetham says
Yes I can understand that part but I thought Putin might be smarter than that because of Islam’s track record of using useful idiots or does he think he is using them?
I guess you could describe the entire bunch; Islam, Putin’s Russia and the CCP’s mode of operation each as giant Mafia organizations, i.e. gangster organizations because none of them have any resemblance to democratic institutions, they are all totalitarian in nature and conduct murder casually, oppress, lie and cheat and steal without a shred of morality or integrity to be seen.
And so you would expect that it takes one to know one and I would have thought Putin at least would be street smart about the nature of Islam, Xi Jinping sure as hell is.
Putin pulls a snow job on the Russian people; he plays the West is dangerous to Mother Russia card for all it is worth so that he can play the protector and stands in the way of the West subverting all that Russia stands for when in reality what he is afraid of is what all gangsters are afraid of, the intrusion of law and order and a spotlight being shone on his Mafia organization. Possibly a lot of everyday Russians know he is a gangster but sort of admire that to a degree.
Melc says
Correct. Here in the UK too much ground has been given to Islam. They are entering every quarter of the political and administrative bodies.
I have even been told, as a musician to stop playing music by a mullah for it, according to him, being against his religion.
gregbeetham says
You know what I would dearly love to see happen, get a bunch of SAS guys to loiter around the corner and then get some musicians together to blast this Mullah dude with music, trumpets, drums, violins whatever and if the Muslim thugs show up call up the reserves to fix the situation.
Just who the hell do they think they are, they are in our countries under sufferance as it is, the arrogance they have knows no limits.
I mourn for England now that it is contaminated by feral garbage, my mother was borne there and the family moved to Australia when she was about 5 but the tie to the old country was always there, I could tell.
Spideyweb1 says
It looks like the BLM thuggggs have past on Mami Doretha’s “Racist recipe” to put those “Crackers” in their place. Simple formula.. play the victim and say you’re oppressed. Works like a charm. If you the right skin color.
Hmmm.. sounds like Jim Crow laws in reverse. But hey, if it targets White boys who are conservatives then it’s justified, Yo!
You just gotta scream and stomp y’all’s feet and the squeaky wheels gets the oil..
You can’t stop these people. A shift in perception of the masses is what’s needed. You’d think it would be so easy to expose these hypocrites for who they are. But perception is 90% reality.
VICTOR COWEN says
What can one say? Muslims are getting exactly what they deserve. Disregard and contempt. The behaviour of a large number of their followers has brought them this contempt. It is meant to be a ‘religion.’ You reap what you sow.
PS: Do Christians (for example) have a Jihadist wing of killers and terrorists?
Melc says
Publish and be damned and speak up and defend freedom of speech. A phobiabia is an irrational fear of something or someone. Islamophobia is a rational fear of Islam and what it holds for those who dare speak up and examin or criticise it
Melc says
A mullah told me to stop playing music as it was against his religion.
I told him to f–k off!!!
OLD GUY says
Islamophobia is nothing but propaganda to hide the evil and violence that the leaders of islam continue to promote against the non-muslim populations.
