Is there anything more tiresome and more likely to induce eye-rolling across America than the word “Islamophobia?”
Here is another coined word, cleverly designed to make those who believe in the U.S. Constitution not only keep quiet about the inroads of radical Islam but feel guilty about not viewing Islam as something on a par with the Loyal Order of Moose.
Today we have the spectacle of Muslim clergy seeking police protection so people can worship unmolested during the month of Ramadan. Courant writer Susan Campbell takes Operation Save America to task for picketing or harassing a Bridgeport mosque. I do not know why this organization chose to do this and I do not approve of such tactics, as they do not reflect the Spirit of Christ.
But despite the lack of wisdom and perhaps charity on the part of those protestors, the concept of Islamophobia is a fraud and a sham. No sooner does Ramadan begin than we see nearly 2,000 articles on Google News concerning Islamophobia, which points to a high level of complicity and cooperation between Islamists and the left-tilting media. In other words, in case you miss my meaning, Ramadan is being used for PR purposes, plain and simple.
What could be more obvious to any unbiased observer than the fact that Muslims have it, well, pretty good in this country. Just for starters, Muslims here have the ability to vote and have a standard of living they don’t have in the Middle East (except in Israel). I would also hasten to add that Muslims of both sexes have equal rights here.
We are sick and tired of hearing about Islamophobia already. I guarantee that if 9/11 had happened under Democratic icon FDR, Muslims would have been rounded up and interned as were the Japanese. In that less gentle day of 1941, there might have been many private reprisals, too. Yet, despite the horrors of 9/11 there were no Muslims dragged out into the streets and killed, there were no firebombings of mosques, no mass deportations, no declarations of martial law. Apparently someone had to go all the way to Texas just to find 12 people rowdy enough to be willing to yell at a Muslim.
So, is America infected with Islamophobia? I don’t think so.
Because Islamophobia – as Muslims define it – is a myth.
And yet for all that Islam is not to be viewed on a par with the Loyal Order of Moose. With apologies to George W. Bush, Islam does not mean “peace,” it means “submission.” Islamists worldwide are hard at work to replace the US Constitution and the governing systems of other nations in favor of Islamic sharia law.
We do not want this.
We do not want to be told that America is not a Christian nation – but that it is a Muslim nation.
We do not want special Islamic prayer rooms in airports and schools.
We do not want judges to excuse criminal behavior by saying that the perpetrator’s religious belief negates a criminal state of mind.
We do not want to be told we can’t eat certain foods and do certain things which we have always done because it may offend Muslims (pay attention to what is happening in Britain and Holland).
We do not want to be told how much Muslims revere Jesus when in fact the Islamic Jesus, they tell us, is coming to abolish Christianity and convert the world to Islam.
We are tired of hearing Muslims say that Jews are the filthy “sons of apes and pigs.”
Where do we learn these things?
Why, we learn them from reading the Koran and other Muslims writings, just as Susan Campbell tells us to.
And even the disgusting anti-Semitic statements mentioned above are supported by the leading Islamic clergy of today – not the year 700 AD – today!
Should we be “phobic” of such a belief system?
