The UN Declares War on the 'Poison of Islamophobia'

March 16, 2023 By Raymond Ibrahim

According to the U.N.'s website,

[t]he United Nations on Friday [03/10/2023] commemorated the first-ever International Day to Combat Islamophobia with a special event in the General Assembly Hall, where speakers upheld the need for concrete action in the face of rising hatred, discrimination and violence against Muslims.

António Guterres, secretary-general of the U.N., delivered the keynote address, "focusing attention — and calling for action — to stamp out the poison of Islamophobia."  Below are key excerpts followed by correctives:

The world's nearly 2 billion Muslims reflect humanity in all its magnificent diversity.  They hail from all corners of the world.  They are Arabs, Africans, Europeans, Americans and Asians. But they often face bigotry and prejudice for no other reason than their faith.

The truth is, if there is any "bigotry and prejudice" against Muslims, it is not because Western people are so hostile to those who believe differently from how they do — a position better exemplified by Muslims — but due to any number of Islam's problematic teachings, including terrorizing non-Muslims into subjugation (jihad), executing apostates and blasphemers, treating women as chattel, and legitimizing child marriage (pedophilia), to name a few............As one example, forty years after formerly homogenous Sweden opened its doors to "multiculturalism" — which has meant taking in mostly male Muslim "refugees" — violent crime has surged by 300% and rapes by 1,472%, making the formerly tranquil Scandinavian nation the rape capital of the West.  The U.K. and Germany — which also have significant Muslim populations — are not far behind.

Unfazed by reality, the secretary-general continues:.........To Read More...

My Take - Islamophobia is an oxymoron.  A phobia is an "unnatural fear", and fearing Islam isn't irrational and certainly not unnatural, and we have 1400 years of tyranny, murder, rape abuse of non-Muslims as evidence of that.   The World as I See It: Islamophobia Isn't a Phobia.

The World as I See It: Islamophobia Isn't a Phobia.

By Rich Kozlovich 

The western world is inundated with irrational fears, like the insane Global Warming fallacies and lies, the covid pandemic falsehood which generated stunning tyranny worldwide for an affliction that had a 99.7% recovery rate.  Those were, and are, government promoted irrational fears. Phobias!  

A phobia is defined as: an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.  But Islamophobia isn't one of them.  

Today this article appeared, Russia condemns Qur’an-burning in Sweden as ‘another provocative act of Islamophobia’, which is interesting since claiming fear of Islam is an irrational fear would be like claiming fear of Russia, in light of the murder and devastation Russia has perpetrated on the people of Ukraine, is an irrational fear.   I find this clabber from Russia as distasteful as Russia having a judge seated at the Nuremberg Trials for crimes against humanity against the Nazis. 

In the same week it was reported in India a Muslim kidnapped a minor girl, whom he assaulted beating her badly, splashed kerosene over her and then set on fire because she wouldn't accept Islam.  Was her fear and terror irrational?   In Pakistan, Muslims, in the name of Allah, murdered 32 at rival mosque.  But it had nothing to do with Islam, so there's nothing to fear.  Really? 

In France a Muslim says he’ll return and dismember the police and judiciary.  Explain once again how diversity is our strength?  Of course he's the exception.  Right?  Nah, he's the rule when one converts to Islam.  Since the Koran allows a man to beat a woman, he did, almost to death.

In England a Muslim army soldier is charged with terror and explosives offenses.  But questioning him over his views would be Islamophobic!  And we're supposed to think that's sane?  A legitimate fear is the insane policies of the British government over this kind of insanity. 

Then there's the issue of freedom of speech and thought, neither of which is tolerated by Islam, New arrests in Iranian plot to murder Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad, but hey, it's okay to murder a dissident actor, but insults to Muhammad will not be tolerated.  

Massive Muslim immigration has terrorized Freiburg, Germany turning it into a hellhole of crime so horrendous the German police are overwhelmed.   This isn't isolated, this is the pattern.  You may wish to review
