We hear that accusation and chant constantly...particuarly from the antifa group when they are out in the streets hollering 'Islamaphobe' and of course we see it on the board constantly.
First of all let me post a definition of Islamaphobia to make sure we are on the same page..................'
unreasonable dislike or
fear of, and
prejudice against,
Muslims or
Islam:' from --the Cambridge English Dictionary.
The key word being of course.....'unreasonable' ---so can it be said at least truthfully that 'Islamaphobia' is a problem in America or can it be truthfully said that Republicans are guilty of Islamaphobia?
No and no. There are plenty of Muslims living in the U.S. with no problem at all and no one I know is afraid of them. You see them a lot in convenience stores and gas stations.
A List of Radical Islamic Terror Attacks on U.S. Soil
There is a huge, huge rhetorical attempt to gloss over the reality of the threat of radical Islamic terror on American soil by muslims living in America.
The attempt to disconnect "lone wolf" terrorists from the terror organizations who often inspire them does nothing to alleviate the pain of those who have suffered at the hands of jihadists and only hurts prevention efforts. Rhetorical tricks aside, the reality is that scores of innocent Americans have been murdered on U.S. soil by jihadists, most of whom were inspired by or acting under the direction of foreign terror groups, particularly the Islamic state
Below is a list of the major, verifiable radical Islamic terror attacks "successfully planned and executed" on U.S. soil since n 2009
Little Rock, Arkansas, June 1, 2009.
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad shot and murdered one soldier, Army Pvt. William Andrew Long, and injured another, Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula, at a military recruiting station in Little Rock. Muhammad reportedly converted to Islam in college and was on the FBI's radar after being arrested in Yemen–a hotbed of radical Islamic terrorism–for using a Somali passport, even though he was a U.S. citizen. In a note to an Arkansas judge, Muhammad
claimedto be a member of al-Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula, the terror group's Yemen chapter.
Fort Hood, Texas, November 5, 2009. Major Nidal Malik Hasan shot up a military base in Fort Hood and
murdered 14 people. Hasan was in contact with al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki prior to the attack and shouted
"Allahu Akbar!" as he fired upon the soldiers on the Fort Hood base. After being sentenced to death, Hasan
requested to join ISIS while on death row. It took six years for Obama to acknowledge the shooting as a terror attack instead of "workplace violence."
Boston, Massachusetts, April 15, 2013. Tamerlan and Dhozkar Tsarnaev set off two bombs at the 2013 Boston marathon, killing three and injuring over 260 people. The Tsarnaev brothers later
shot and murdered Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier. The Tsarnaev brothers were self-radicalized through
online jihadist propaganda and through
a mosque with ties to al-Qaeda.
Moore, Oklahoma, September 24, 2014. Alton Nolen beheaded a woman, Colleen Huff, at a Vaughan Foods plant and stabbed and injured another person. While Nolen's motives are unclear, he appears to have been
another radicalized Muslim who was obsessed with beheadings.
Queens, New York, October 23, 2014. Zale Thompson, another self-radicalized Muslim, injured two police officers with a hatchet before being shot dead by other cops. Thompson reportedly
indoctrinated himself with ISIS, al-Qaeda and al-Shabab–a Somali jihadist terror group–websites and was a lone wolf attacker.
Brooklyn, New York, December 20, 2014. Ismaayil Brinsley shot and murdered two police officers execution-style and his Facebook page featured
jihadist postings and had ties to a
terror-linked mosque.
Garland, Texas, May 3, 2015. Two gunmen shot up the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, where a Mohammed cartoon contest was taking place, and were killed by a police officer. ISIS
claimed responsibility for the attack.
Chattanooga, Tennessee, July 16, 2015. Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez shot and killed four Marines and a sailor at a military base in Chattanooga and was
believed to have been inspired by ISIS.
San Bernardino, California, December 14, 2015. Two radical Islamists, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, shot and murdered 14 people and injured 22 others at an office holiday party.
Orlando, Florida, June 12, 2016.
Omar Mateen, 29, opened fire at a gay nightclub, killing 49 and injuring 53. The FBI investigated Mateen twice before his rampage, but did not take any substantive action. Officials believe Mateen was self-radicalized but he pledged fealty to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before his death. "The real muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the west," Mateen posted on his Facebook page after committing his heinous act at Pulse nightclub. "I pledge my alliance to (ISIS leader) abu bakr al Baghdadi..may Allah accept me," he wrote.
St. Cloud, Minnesota, September 17, 2016.
Dahir Ahmed Adan, a 20-year-old Somali refugee, began hacking at people with a steak knife at a Minnesota mall, injuring nine people before he was shot dead by off-duty police officer Jason Falconer. The FBI said numerous witnesses heard Adan yelling "Allahu akbar!" and "Islam! Islam!" during the rampage. He also asked potential victims if they were Muslims before inflicting wounds in their heads, necks, and chests. The FBI believe he had recently become self-radicalized. (As the Daily Wire highlighted, the Minneapolis Star Tribune attempted to blame "
anti-Muslim tensions" for his murderous actions.)
New York City/New Jersey, September 17, 2016.
Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old naturalized citizen from Afghanistan, set off multiple bombs in New York and New Jersey. In Chelsea, his bomb resulted in the injury of over 30 people. Rahami wrote in his journal that he was connected to "terrorist leaders," and appears to have been heavily influenced by Sheikh Anwar, Anwar al-Awlaki, Nidal Hassan, and Osama bin Laden. "I pray to the beautiful wise ALLAH, [d]o not take JIHAD away from me," Rahami wrote. "You [USA Government] continue your [unintelligible] slaught[er]" against the holy warriors, "be it Afghanistan, Iraq, Sham [Syria], Palestine ... "
Columbus, Ohio, November 28, 2016.
Abdul Razak Ali Artan, an ISIS-inspired 20-year-old Somali refugee who had been granted permanent legal residence in 2014 after living in Pakistan for 7 years, attempted to run over his fellow Ohio State students on campus. After his car was stopped by a barrier, he got out of the vehicle and began hacking at people with a butcher knife before being shot dead by a campus police officer. He injured 11 people, one critically.
ISIS took credit for the attack, describing Artan as their "soldier." Just three minutes before his rampage, Artan
posted a warning to America on Facebook that the "lone wolf attacks" will continue.
Note: While this list contains the major radical islamic attacks since 2009 there are many other incidents suspected of having been motivated by the muslim ideology but was not verified and of course the powers that be try to cover up as much as possible the muslim threat here in America...thus if the motive behind some violent attack is not easily demonstrated as orchestrated my radical islamists...they do not go to much trouble to try and find the real motivation. It is not politically correct to talk about the dangers American born muslims pose to our nation. Thus once again as usual Political Correctness over-rules public safety.
Note: While this list contins the major and verified radical islaqmic attacks since 2009 there are many other incidents that were suspected of having been motivated by the ideology of radical islam but were never verified.
Regarding Muslim terroism and a possible attack on America utilizing a weapon of mass destruction:
' Diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks provide another reminder that al-Qaida remains committed to obtaining weapons of mass destruction (WMD) – nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and
“dirty bombs.” Security briefing
cables published by the London
Telegraph – some as recent as 2009 – state that jihadists are close to making “workable and efficient biological and chemical weapons” capable of killing thousands of people if used to attack the West.'
