A Phobia is an Unnatural Fear: Try to Get That! Just Once, Please

By Rich Kozlovich

I keep seeing the words Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism being cavalierly thrown about by leftist excusers of Muslim actions, and the current crop of refugees to denigrate the sanity and morality of those opposed to the Islamization of the west and the immigration of more of these people. 

  • First, I  think was should ask why it is that not one Muslim country is taking these people in? 
  • Secondly, why is it instead of storming the borders of western nations with Judaic/Christian social paradigms, these immigrant Muslims aren't storming the borders of other Muslim dominated nations?  We'll deal with both is this piece.  
  • Third, Islamophobia is an oxymoron. 

A phobia is is a mental disorder caused by an irrational fear of something. Does anyone really think fearing Islamists is irrational?  

They're called "radical" Muslims, but are they really Muslim radicals, or are they the true Muslim faithful actually following the commands as outlined in the Koran?  As for most Muslims who don't perpetrate violence, while they may personally be non-violent, they support Sharia and those who are violently attempting to perpetrate the Islamization of the world.  That's a center most teaching in the Koran.  

Fearing them in general isn't irrational, and when their population becomes dominant, they're always on the edge of violence against non-Muslims, along with those Muslims of different sects.  Why? Because each of these Muslim sects consider all the others sects heretics, and Sharia law calls for their deaths. 

Xenophobia is defined as " an intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries".  Here's the reality.  These people are feared and disliked because they've earned that fear and distrust, it's because they're barbarians with a moral code that belongs in a sewer.  Rape, murder, crime follows these immigrants like fleas follow rats.   That's Islam!  Fearing and disliking them is not a mental issue - it's a reality issue.   As Raymond Ibrahim notes in his article, The Logic of Islamic Intolerance:

 From an Islamic paradigm - where Allah is the true god and Muhammad his final messenger -- “intolerance” for other religions is logical and difficult to condemn…… And no matter how violent, Islamic jihad -- terrorism -- will always be exonerated in Muslim eyes as fundamentally “altruistic.” On the other hand, Western secularists and multiculturalists, who believe in nothing and deem all cultures and religions equal, will continue to respect Islam and empower Muslims, convinced that terrorism is an un-Islamic aberration destined to go away -- that is, they will continue disbelieving their own eyes. Such is the offspring of that unholy union between Islamic logic and Western fallacy.......

Then we have racism.  Islam isn't a race - it's a political criminal movement masquerading as a religion.  Let's try and get this once and for all.  Fearing Islam isn't a mental disorder.  It's clear thinking based on 1400 years history and the reality we see going on around us in the world right now!  And we have to stop listening to these insane leftists who attempt to obfuscate realty with insane rhetoric filled with logical fallacies. They've lost their minds - it's time for the sane to step up and say so.  

Did you ever wonder why a screwball like Trump is so popular?  It's because he has the guts to say what most people in this country are thinking and doesn't care what the world thinks.  Especially the cloistered world of the leftist media, Hollywood, academia and leftist politicians. 

So, to answer my first two questions.  

These immigrants aren't wanted in these Muslim lands because they'll import their own culture and brand of Islam, followed by violence.   The Palestinian Liberation Organization was kicked out of Jordan for that reason, all of whom were Jordanian citizens.  These Muslim immigrants don't want to go to these Muslim dominated lands because it won't be safe, even if they're part of the same sect.  

Islamic lands are in reality medieval tribal societies with modern transportation, weaponry and communications, with no willingness to mingle with other tribes.  If these Muslim immigrants did in these lands what they're getting away with in Europe, they'd be executed, unless of course they raped, murdered and robbed non Muslims.  Then it would be ignored. After all, they're only kaafir.

That's Islam, and there's 1400 years of history to demonstrate fearing them isn't a phobia. 

 Update: 5/18/22 5:19 AM

How does one pity a group that itself regularly exhibits no pity or even mere tolerance for others?  This is the conundrum one faces when considering Muslim victim groups.

Take the Rohingya, for instance, a Muslim people that primarily lived in Burma (Myanmar), while, like most invading and conquering Muslims, not being indigenous to Burma.  There they have been severely persecuted by the indigenous Buddhists of that nation.  While the Rohingya are regularly presented as victims -- aspects of which is no doubt true -- historically and precipitating their current status, whenever they had the chance, they were the ones quick to victimize others.

In fact, and not unlike the Muslim minorities of other nations, the Rohingya have been committing the same sort of anti-infidel mayhem, violence, terrorism, and rape that one is accustomed to associating with “radical Islam” -- though news of it seldom reaches the West.  The main difference is that, unlike the West, Burma has responded with uncompromising ruthlessness..............

What the Humanitarian Crisis in Myanmar Misses

By Matthew Massee

The Rohingya, the embattled, mostly Muslim minority group from southwestern Myanmar who are fleeing their homelands in unprecedented numbers, are caught in the crosshairs of regional geopolitics. The area they have long occupied is geographically isolated and historically surrounded by weak states and so has been largely ungoverned for decades. But that space is shrinking. As Myanmar emerges from decades of international isolation, the central government is attempting to exert authority over its restive reaches – no small task, considering it is also trying to manage all the political forces unleashed by its democratization. China, meanwhile, is pushing south in search of access to the Indian Ocean and influence in a crucial buffer state. Wary of the encroaching forces, Myanmar’s neighbor India is looking for a way to push back. The government in Naypyidaw will seek to play the larger powers off one another, but the Rohingya, effectively a stateless people, have little ability to do so.......To Read More.....

My Take - I heard about this on NPR yesterday (Yes, I actually listen to their blather) and it took a minute to realize what they were talking about.  This is a long term issue that I had planned to cover, but hadn't seen anything about it recently.  What I find interesting is how all of a sudden so many news outlets are interested at the same time.  Back to the point.

I posted this in July of 2013 with links that give more foundation to this subject. 

The Mad Monks of Myanmar
By The Diplomat July 09, 2013
Myanmar is home to a growing wave of anti-Muslim sentiment, as seen in the troubling 969 movement. The numerical significance of the digits is rooted in Buddhism’s Three Jewels (Tiratana), which comprise 24 attributes: nine special attributes of Lord Buddha, six core Buddhist teachings, and nine attributes of monkhood.
Co-opted by members of Myanmar’s nationalistic Buddhist majority, the number has become a symbol of religious division that has led to both discrimination and violence. Even the government, under President Thein Sein, has taken controversial actions that seem to align with its anti-Muslim stance, from its ongoing purge of the nation's Muslim minority Rohingyas to its highly contentious two-child policy, applied solely to the same group.
While the movement has infiltrated the country’s mainstream over a long period of time, a prominent Buddhist monk, Ashin Wirathu, has recently become its unofficial leader. A photograph of Wirathu in crimson robes, with the words “The Face of Buddhist Terror”, made the cover of the July issue of TIME Magazine, causing a furor in Myanmar and drawing international attention to the country's heated religious tensions……To Read More…
My TakeI have been following this story and my first link was on Thursday, April 18, 2013 with the article, Monks Gone Bad,To Read More….  "My Take” at the time was: There is a question not answered, nor is it asked in this article. Why? The author talks about poverty as a vehicle for inclusion into the religious orders, but that isn't an explanation as to why this particular group of monks she discusses have decided to be violent against Muslims. There is much more to this story that isn't being told, and it is my belief the right questions aren't being asked.
This article answers those unasked questions when a monk named Wirathu says;
 “Muslims are fundamentally bad. Mohammed allows them to kill any creature. Islam is a religion of thieves, they do not want peace.”
I have stated in the past that at some point there is going to be a backlash against Muslim violence.  What I didn’t expect was to see it started by Buddhists.  What I also find interesting is how much the world bemoans violence against Muslims, and yet those same voices seem to be silent at violence perpetrated by Muslims.  The world has gone nuts.  This much is clear though.  When it starts it will become more unpleasant than anything we have seen for a long time.   
Myanmar mob burns down mosque, second in a week

A mob burned down a mosque in northern Myanmar, the second attack in a little more than one week.   Several hundred villagers wielding sticks, knives and other weapons raided and burned the structure around 3:30 p.m. Friday, according to the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar state-newspaper.  Local authorities and security forces said they tried to disperse the mob but that the mob was unresponsive and entirely beyond control.  No arrests were made and an investigation has been launched.  The mosque administration had failed to meet a Thursday deadline to raze the building to make way for a bridge. Ma Ba Tha, a Buddhist nationalist group, says the mosque was built without permission from the government, but Thein Aung, chairman of the mosque’s caretaker group, claims the structure was built more than 20 years ago.  On June 23, a Buddhist mob about 200 targeted a mosque and other religious buildings in a Muslim-dominated village in the Bago region. One Muslim man was injured and the minority group sought refuge in a neighboring town.....To Read More..

This is a precurser as to what's going to happen in Europe.  Make no mistake about this - it's fundamental - they've pushed and pushed and pushed - and backlash in Europe will be stunningly unpleasant - altering Europe forever. The question everyone should be asking is what will take it's place.

Buddhist militancy triggers international concern

James Crabtree in Colombo and Michael Peel in Bangkok December 28, 2014

Sri Lankan soldiers of the special task force patrol the streets of Aluthgama, a town in the south of the country, following clashes between Muslims and an extremist Buddhist group in June Shahabadeen Sahira had a traumatic first-hand view of a new wave of militant Buddhist nationalist groups, whose rise across parts of Asia has triggered growing international alarm. Wearing a black headscarf, the elderly Muslim former schoolteacher recalls her ordeal in June, when a gang burst into her home near the southern Sri Lankan coastal town of Aluthgama, during the worst religiously inspired violence to hit the tropical island nation in three decades.

“They came and took everything I had,” she recalls of the men from the country’s largely Buddhist Sinhalese majority, who burned dozens of homes in two days of clashes with Muslims. Three people were killed. “My house was ruined. All my money, all my jewellery, was gone,” she says. “If I could meet those responsible, I would ask: ‘Sir, does your Lord Buddha teach this?’” The bloodshed was sparked by a street-corner disagreement between a Buddhist monk and a young Muslim. But Alan Keenan, analyst at the International Crisis Group think-tank, says it is part of a wider trend: the rise of a new generation of militant anti-Muslim Buddhist organisations. The most prominent in Sri Lanka is the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS), or Buddhist Power Force.......To Read More....

My Take: As I've said in the past, I've been following this story with special interest. On July 10, 2013 I posted a link to this story:

This much is clear though. When it starts it will become more unpleasant than anything we have seen for a long time.

Further Comments: I stand by that prediction. This isn't going to be isolated. The West, and especially Americans, finds the idea of a religious war anathema. We just won't accept that concept. Well, much of the rest of the world, particularly the Muslim world, views religion as the basis for war as a very real concept, and in the case of Muslims it's a religious requirement. 
 
Furthermore, they don't much care what the West thinks, and in point of fact, they like the West's reticence. That way they can use our own values against us and declare any effort to identify Islam as a warmongering criminal organization disguising itself as a religion as Islamophobia! 
 
All done with the help of ideologically corrupt elite leftists in government and the media. But reality will eventually overcome ideology. This is going to grow worldwide and become more unpleasant than anyone ever thought could happen in a modern world.
