CDZ Islamophobia

[Coyote]

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.

That is because their numbers are relatively small and they are for the most part dispersed except for the Minneapolis/St Paul area. Interestingly those areas have lots of issues with Muslims just like every other Muslim concentration in France, England, Germany, Sweden, Africa, etc etc etc.....

What lots of issues do they have?

Republicans are not only guilty of Islamaphobia,
but homophobia,
fear of blacks,
fear of Hispanics,
fear of women's rights,
and more.

If you are going to hate minorities, you need to have a reason.

Hatred for "different" is that reason.

Democrats were, and still are, racists. Their 'moral code' changes depending on how many political votes they get. Democrats keep people in poverty while claiming they are somehow 'helping' them with government cheese. Democrats are always 'victims' of anyone or anything that threatens to give personal power to those it has on their plantation. Democrats are running out of plantation workers so they need ILLEGAL plantation workers to sustain their ill gotten gains through racial profiling and race suppression. Building a wall keeps them from enslaving more poor people with empty promises of equality of outcome. Democrats suppress individualism and self determination by promising to redistribute income through government bureaucracies stuffed full of fanny-sitting government, fat-cat bureaucrats that make top dollar and work for a promised pension at the end of their fanny-sitting paper pushing careers while tossing crumbs to the 'unfortunate' who, they hope will remain that way.

There are 1.6 Billion Muslims in the world. Most of them are just trying to get by in life. There are 6 million Muslims in the US. Most of them are law abiding folks as well.

You are more likely to be killed by a white extremist than a Muslim extremist in this country.

Nobody talks about Caucasia-phobia... we just kind of accept it.

How many muslims does it take to set off a nuclear device in New York? Lest we forget Obama said that was one of his biggest fears.

The same number as...
Christians
Jews
White supremacists
Antifaidiots
Black Panthers
Shooters in school shootings
Disgruntled postal workers
Russian agents
etc.

In particular reason to be more afraid of Muslims than any one else in America?

Yes, most definitely............first of all those groups you list have no interest in trying to destroy America.

Christians as a group or a religion have not embarked on a killing spree in the name of God anywhere in the world.

Now a few(very few) persons identified as being Christian have committed some crimes.....those that have done that are usually mental cases.

The Heritage Foundation has tracked post-9/11 terrorist plots against the United States in an effort to study the evolving nature of the threat and to garner lessons learned. The best way to protect the United States from terrorism is to ensure a strong and capable domestic counterterrorism enterprise—and to understand the continuing nature of the terror threat. The Boston Marathon bombing was the 59th publicly known terror plot against the United States since 9/11. In a political environment of sequestration on the one hand, and privacy concerns on the other, there are those on both sides of the aisle who want to cut counterterrorism spending and restrict the scope of U.S. intelligence agencies. But the long war on terrorism is far from over. Most disturbingly, an increasing number of Islamist-inspired terrorist attacks are originating within America’s borders. The rise of homegrown extremism is the next front in the fight against terrorism, and Congress and the Administration must take it seriously. This Special Report features up-to-date information on all 60 plots, and the authors describe a plan for a comprehensive homeland security strategy.

60 Terrorist Plots Since 9/11: Continued Lessons in Domestic Counterterrorism

 

[MacTheKnife]

THE USEFUL FOOLS OF THE ISLAMISTS
fr. The Herald Sun

Here is a short anthology of those who since the September 11 attacks have tried to play down the threat of Islamic terrorism, or to turn blame or attention instead to the West and those trying to protect us.

ABC host Virginia Trioli on the “realistic” way to respond to the 2001 Islamic attacks on September 11 by al Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden:

What if that involved bringing him somewhere, absolutely safely, sitting down with him, treating him like a human being and talking about it, and then Osama bin Laden going home again, not bombing the hell out of bin Laden

The complete list of these fools.............Category: | Herald Sun

 

[JoeB131]

This whole "---phobia" tactic has been tremendously successful for the illiberal, authoritarian Regressive Left in doing what they do best - changing the subject by putting their target on the defensive so that they can avoid an honest conversation about the original topic.

Irony of ironies, it was this kind of cowardly intellectual dishonesty that created the pushback that put Trump in office. Just barely enough people had had enough, and they voted.

Of course, the Regressive Left will not admit this, not in a million years. But they will continue to attack the messenger, because it's in their DNA now. Anything beyond that is simply too much.

Or you are just trying to come up with a 'intellectual" cover for your bigotry.

The majority of the world's Muslims are not Jihadists. If they were, there are 1.6 Billion of them and we'd be in REAL trouble.

What we are seeing is "more of the same", since Rudyard Kipling told his fellow British to "Take up the White Man's Burden" and "Civilize" the rest of the world.

And by Civilize, he meant "Take over their countries and steal anything that wasn't nailed down'.

America is kind of continuing the same practice, and when these folks push back (how dare they!) we accuse them of being savages.

bigotry is the right wing way.

Nice of you to give us your opinion but that is all you have and it is not enough.....a mesage board is designed for dicussions...if everyone just came on here and stated their opinion what a waste it would be.

When one gives his opinion he should attempt to support by some kind of evidence, logic or reason.

you must be new here.

the right wing claims they are right simply Because they are on the Right; and, "that is the gospel Truth".

Since this is the CDZ I am not allowed to give the kind of description the above post screams out for.....yet no one should be surprised ,,,,this is the sort of junk presented to gullible kids in our public schools and universities....even elitist universities...thus--none of us should be amazed when kids absorb this leftist propaganda and spew it out on public forums.

This sort of propaganda actually began long before the revival of fundamentalist muslim jihad began.

Beyond pathetic and quite embarrassing that Americans can be this clueless.....and these folks and (there are many of them)....otherwise known as democrats --demonstrate a huge,huge reason why America is now down on her knees waiting for the coup de gras.

Anyhow good to see you mention Kipling...a current revival of interest in him and the truths he presents so eloquently. He was too long demonized by Marxists.


The British poet Rudyard Kipling in Calcutta, India. (1892)

by Rudyard Kipling
Take up the White Man's burden —
Send forth the best ye breed —
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild —
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.

Take up the White Man's burden —
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain.

Take up the White Man's burden —
The savage wars of peace —
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.

Take up the White Man's burden —
No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper —
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living,
And mark them with your dead.

Take up the White Man's burden —
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard —
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light: —
"Why brought he us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"

Take up the White Man's burden —
Ye dare not stoop to less —
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your gods and you.

Take up the White Man's burden —
Have done with childish days —
The lightly profferred laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.

Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!

Those who lend themselves so mindlessly to the Islamist agenda do not do so because they are liberal.

They do so because they aren't .

It is no longer liberalism that drives the left but a very rigid and authoritarian expression of identity politics.

Why Islam? Of the three great monotheistic religions only one did not go through the Enlightenment
One of the central tenets of science is to define a problem to be studied with as much clarity as possible, and the key to clear communication is calling things what they really are. Unfortunately, both the American media and public intellectuals have failed to be honest in identifying what everyone in Europe knows is the primary source of terrorism in the world today: Islam.

Word History: The ultimate origin of the word bigot is unknown. When bigot first appears in Old French, it is as an insulting term for a Norman. A colorful story is often told about the origin of the term with Rollo, the pagan Viking conqueror who received Normandy as a fief from Charles III of France in 911. Rollo converted to Christianity for the occasion, but it is said that he refused to complete his oath of fealty to the king by kissing the king's feet and said Ne se bi got, "Never, by God!" in a mishmash of Old French and a Germanic language. This bi got then became a term of abuse for the Normans

and....of course it remains a term of abuse today....used mainly be liberals to attempt to insult or demonize those with beliefs counter to their own.

In the same mode one could say a liberal is a bigot for calling a conservative a bigot... some prefer more colorful language but on message boards the word 'bigot' is acceptable whereas using more colorful language might result in a banning.
