Al-Tayeb says that he doesn’t hold Christ responsible for massacres by Christians. But that is not an exact analogy, because there are no massacres by people who are screaming “Jesus is Lord” as they kill, and there are no teachings of Christ calling for violence. Meanwhile, his claim that “Islam rejects violence among people of any religion” is, at best, unproven. If he gets his criminalization of “Islamophobia,” such questions will be forbidden even to be asked.
“Al-Azhar calls for enacting law criminalizing Islamophobia,” Egypt Today, June 16, 2022:
CAIRO – 16 June 2022: Al-Azhar Institution, the top Sunni Islamic Institution in the world, called for enacting a new law on the protection of mosques and the confrontation of Islamophobia.
The Al-Azhar Observatory for Combating Extremism called for an urgent need to enact a new law that guarantees the protection of mosques, confronts Islamophobia and criminalizes it explicitly to ensure the protection of Muslims, and their families and places of worship….
The observatory mentioned that The Norwegian Brandelij organization has issued a report about crimes of discrimination revealing that a total of 768 attacks were recorded against mosques in Germany in the period between 2014 and 2021, which means that a mosque was attacked every two days.
In the first quarter of 2022, 83 cases of hostility against Islam were recorded.
Talking about Islamophobia, Al Azhar Sheik Ahmed al-Tayeb said in June 2019 that western media promoted the wrong image of Islam through the term “Islamophobia,” despite the Islamic clergymen and scholars’ efforts to clarify and rectify this misconception
Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb added that Islamophobia was rooted in politicians and media people’s culture due to funds of anti-Islam people.
“We have media and physical capabilities, as well as the new satellite channels that enable us to do justice to that religion that is followed by more than a billion and a half of Muslims [worldwide], but we care more about other interests that we lack,” Al Azhar Sheikh said.
“Up to this moment, we never heard about Christianity-phobia, Judaism-phobia, Buddhism-phobia or Hinduism-phobia. I believe that no newspaper or a channel or TV program in the West or in the East dares to speak about a phobia of any other religion or belief,” Tayeb said.
Islam rejects violence among people of any religion, he added, saying “We do not hold the Christian religion, nor Christ [peace be upon him], nor Moses [peace be upon him] responsible for the terrible massacres of Muslims by believers of other religions. We do not label a religion by terrorism, violence or brutality. We remain deeply aware of the vast difference between religions’ teachings, and the traders of religions,” he continued.

American media and politics are so Christophobic it’s dangerous.
CogitoErgoSum says
The reason those other religions are not feared is because none of them prescribes death for not submitting to them. Those other religions do not ask their followers to fight forever and in all ways possible against those who follow other religions. Peace to them means peace and not “submission.” If fear is what you sow, fear is what you will reap – along with some weeds in your garden called hate.

What a liar! If you ever read Islamic scriptures like the Quran and the Hadiths, you know what it has to say about Christians and Jews. They’re not only considered the worst of creatures but are to be slaughtered in the name of Allah during the last day. You can’t be a Muslim unless you believe in the last day – the Quran is very clear on this.
As a Christian in a Western country that is undergoing government sanctioned and elitist-supported Islamization, I’ve reluctantly educated myself about this ideology for a several years not, so I know what’s going on. Trust me, if there’s something Muslims are good at. it’s blaming Christians and Jews in particular for just about any misfortune they can imagine…
tim gallagher says
Well, I am always going to hate Islam because that is what it deserves, no matter what bullshit these creatures come up with. People who don’t hate the evil nature of Islam are people who know nothing about islam’s nature. The more islamophobia in the world the better because it means that more people have finally seen Islam clearly and are reacting appropriately by loathing the violent, evil religious ideology. Long live Islamophobia and hopefully it will prosper and far more people will come to hate Islam. The hatred Islam receives Islam has well and truly earned.
mgoldberg says
I wonder if we can come up with just how many churches have been attacked in the last say, 20 yrs, worldwide. I wond how many synogogues have been attacked the last say 20 yrs. I wonder how many hindhu temples and buddhist temples have been attacked these last, say 20 yrs.
And by whom……
And how many mosques have been attacked… and by whom
I can assure that the list is heavily heavily weighted by one religion and it’s adherents. But a total list would be piece of evidence that should be pursured before allowing anyone to even address such a call for legislation
somehistory says
Oh, so much to analyze
first: mozlums made up the word… that means: to them, telling the Truth about the filth of islam, and to others, an irrational fear of being raped, kidnapped, murdered by a mozlum or a mob of them.. and they use it more than anyone else.
second: if he hasn’t heard about Christianity phobia, it’s because he can’t read anything with understanding…this word has been thrown around like rice on a wedding day…but no Christians come out wanting it to be made “illegal” to have this fear of Christians. People have been comparing Christianity to islam for some time now in order to excuse the slaughter and rape mozlums carry out, lying in order to try to make Christians guilty by false claims of being violent.
third: the barracks attacks happen quite often by mozlums doing the deed and blaming others who “hate” them, but when the Truth is revealed, chirp chirp is all we hear…no apologies for having blamed infidels And way more churches have been destroyed…many in nigeria, france, and other countries to outnumber any mozlum barracks that have been done by infidels…if any have been.
fourth: why not just open your filthy mouth and call on your bud, ‘pope’ guy in Italy to rally round for you? If you don’t want to be “labeled with terrorism,” then you must leave the religion of terror and stop being what you are….and get the other billion and a half mozlums…(that half a mozlum must be like a chicken without a head)…to do the same…just leave and stop the murderous terror and rape of others who don’t like your garbage.
Must be time for a kissy-face with the ‘pope.’
Okay, g, take it away and fill in any gaps.
somehistory says
P.S. There is no such thing as an irrational fear of islam. Any fear people feel is justified by the violence and evil in which mozlums are steeped and commanded to spill upon the rest of mankind.
and there is more than enough reason to hate the teachings from that book of evil filth that makes a hero of a mass-murdering raper of children who sold women for sex, thieved and lied his way across the desert acting out the devil’s desires as the son of satan he proved to be.
If some feel a hatred for those who wish to rape and murder them, there is not much room for blame there; but quite a bit of understanding. After all, the people who willingly adhere to the filth and then want others dead shouldn’t complain too much if they are not welcomed with open arms into the Christmas parties or at the local Churches and Synagogues or Temples.
PRCS says
“There is no such thing as an irrational fear of islam. Any fear people feel is justified by the violence and evil in which mozlums are steeped and commanded to spill upon the rest of mankind.”
Fear of Islam (an inanimate ideology} IS irrational.
The fear of violence committed by Allah’s slaves IS rational.
As the Yezedis and so many other ‘unbelievers’ can attest.
Infidel says
The reason that no media outlet in the West or East
daresspeaks about those phobias is that they are usually against those faiths themselves. Most of the Western media is Christophobic, most of the Israeli Left wing media (Haaretz, et al) is Judeophobic, most Indian media outlets (NDTV, Times Now, ABP, et al) is Hinduophobic, and I’m pretty sure that Leftist outlets in East Asian countries, depending on the level of their allegiance to islam, are Buddhophobic. Since they are all themselves all of that, you don’t see those phobias being brought up by themrubiconcrest says
Only Islam has jihad and sharia. I say let’s make a deal. We’ll will stop with the Islamophobia if they stop the jihad and sharia.

It is with unbelievable amounts of gall that such as that poo bah from al alzar gets to peddle his bovince fertilizer as they all do with some very real malice aforethought.. Here’s a paper from back in 2011 from Mordehai Kedar, and David Yerushami, on the reality of mosques, and violent teachings, sharia and we can extrapolate just how hypocritical it truly is and will be for any such consideration as his demands to be considered let alone met.

Apart from the Westbro Baptist Church nutters, I have never heard of a Christian Teacher calling for the killing of non Christians, same with Hindu,Jews,Buddhist,Sikhs.
I have yet to encounter somebody screaming Jesus is Lord or any other religion while slicing somebodies throat, however I have heard more often than I would like to hear, muslims screaming at me that their god has a bigger cock than my god while they try and kill me because they are shallow wee cowards in their belief system as they get their wee knickers in a twist when I say islam is a Fascist Religious Cult akin to Nazism and Satanic worship.
I guess the truth really does hurt after all.

Actually, as bad as these creeps were, they never called for killing, nor were they violent. They often claimed that various people would burn in hell, including gay people and service personnel, and they would go to funerals and harass the mourners–appalling, but not violent.
And they were never supported by any mainstream Baptist Church, and they were made up of a single extended family–perhaps 70 people at its height. Once the founder passed away, they pretty much fell apart.
mgoldberg says
nor did they honor slaughter their own for disobeying their beliefs, nor anyone else…..that people can have biased beliefs is not the issue: that muslims will not scourge their own Jihadists since that indicts the very principles of Allah and Mo’ and that is blasphemy….. which brings death.
gravenimage says
Also true, mgoldberg.
The Westboro Baptist Church is often cited as being as bad as Jihadists.
Please note that I am *no* fan of them, and am glad that they are essentially defunct.
But at their worst they were *never* even in the same league as the horrors of Islam. I *wish* this was the worst kind of thing we had to worry about now.
Alfredo says
The naive Jorge Bergoglio should take note of the true intentions of his “ecumenical” buddy Ahmed Al-Tayeb of the Harvard of the Sunni sect of the peaceful religion of peace.
If he still believes that a true ecumenical meeting can take place between those who believe in the Arabian “prophet” and Christians has been in the Vatican museum too long.
Ahmed Al-Tayeb believes it is his divine right as befits his title as top Sheikh at the Al-Azhar in Cairo to call for the criminalization of any criticism of the religion of peace.
“Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb added that Islamophobia was rooted in politicians and media people’s culture due to funds of anti-Islam people.”
What a pile of lies. Islamophobia is an oximoron invented by the good fellas of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Saracens want to arrogate to themselves the right to lie endlessly, and when spineless dhimmis finally grow a backbone to tell the truth, they want to criminalize it. Pure Taqiyya.
For Ahmed Al-Tayeb the truth is islamophobic and therefore criminal.
