2008-03-29 19:06:00 Make a movie expressing just concerns about Islam and exposing the truly violent and fascist nature of its cult and you are bound to come under serious duress.

How do Muslims fight Islamophobia?
2008-03-25 02:32:00 By reforming islam and bringing it into the 21st century? By stopping their funding, support and participation in terrorism against non muslims? By ceasing their calls for the destruction of Israel, revenge against the EU for printing cartoons of the pedophile Muhammed, and death to America? NAH, that would be too civilized. Instead we get this… OIC Wants ‘Binding ...

Elections 2008 - Islamophobia in the Presidential Elections
2008-03-10 04:16:00 Forty-five percent of Americans would not want a Muslim president, according to a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in August 2007. That compares to 25 percent who said they would be less likely to vote for a Mormon candidate and 11 percent who would be less likely to vote for a Jew. Islamophobia is fueling the politics of fear in the presidential campaigns. Some candidates have made bigoted comments that would never be made against any other group. According to Jack Levin, a hate-speech expert at Northeastern University in Boston, as reported in the Christian Science Monitor, today's anti-Muslim sentiment is similar to American attitudes toward Japanese-Americans during World War II. Rudy Giuliani While Rudy Giuliani's campaign has been swift in letting go a volunteer in New Hampshire for calling Muslims "madmen" who need to be "chased back to their caves," the campaign has so far failed to fire a well-known Islamophobe, Daniel Pipes. Pip...

ABC Fakes Muslim Prejudice, Unsurprisingly Finds ‘Islamophobia’
2008-02-28 02:14:00 Apparently to prove that the US is filled with Muslim hating Yahoos, ABC went on the hunt to find “Islamophobia” in America and the result is “Witness to Discrimination: What Would You Do?” Since they didn’t really know where to find any, ABC News decided to create their own prejudice against Muslims by hiring an actress to put on Muslim dress and get “confronted” by a Muslim hating coffee store server — also an actor hired by ABC. Then, they rolled the cameras, opened the doors to the public and, viola, ABC “found” prejudice in America. How hard is it to “find” something that you invented in the first place? Let’s find out… ABC is “shocked” to find that their little manufactured moments revealed how some customers reacted. “Bystanders Turn Away When Muslim Actor Hired By ‘Primetime’ Encounters Hostility,” ABC proclaimed. ABC begins their report assuring us all th...

Iran warns against Islamophobia
2008-01-31 16:03:00 [I gather that while the latest reports indicate that we are losing it in Afghanistan, the Iranians are consolidating their relationships with the other Muslim countries in the Middle East.

Islamophobia
2008-01-22 16:56:00 The term, which first appeared in the 1980's but didn't enter discourse until after September 11th, describes an irrational fear of Islam. Islamophobia has become a controversial term that, for the left, symbolizes a dangerous overreaction to a minority of Muslims. But for the right, the word Islamophobia undermines a justified skepticism of religious motivations and marginalizes a cultural clash that may define our time.

Islamophobia & other hate crimes statistics in the US
2007-11-20 19:22:00 Although I came across the following from a right-wing neo-con-ish, zionist-looking blog which I am thoroughly turned off by, the post itself has merit.

Islamo-Fascism (!) | islamophobia, misinformation and my two cents
2007-10-25 14:36:00 1.Islamo-Fascism (!) Awareness Week (IFWK) according to its neo-conservative organizers, is a national effort to create awareness about Islamo-Fascist Jihad, which in reality contains how much truth is open to debate. It is currently being observed in university and college campuses across US during October 22-26. Like other schools across the country, UCLA is also hosting the IslamoFascism program this week with mixed view points and codemnation from student govt.Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is the brainchild of David Horowitz. Horowitz, president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center (previously the Center for the Study of Popular Culture) editor-in-chief of FrontPageMag.com, and founder of Students for Academic Freedom, is, of course, a former leading New Leftist who has found fame and fortune on the extreme right and has done particularly well since 9/11 when he got in on the ?Islamo-Fascist? ground floor.

Madeleine McCann possibly held by Muslim Moroccan slave traders
2007-09-26 16:44:00 As incredible as it might sound, very recent photographic evidence is stirring interest in the case of missing Madeleine McCann not in Portugal, but in Morocco.

Will Europe never learn from its past?
2007-09-17 17:13:00 When the Europeans first came to the US continent, they stereo typed the natives as either being the “Noble Savage” - in order to justify trading with them - and then as “the Savage barbarian”, almost demonic, in order to justify slaughtering them.

Islamophobia, Malaysia & George W Bush!
2007-09-07 19:26:00 You readers out there who have been reading this blog ever since day one should know that I regularly visited Malaysia Today, a blog owned by Raja Petra Kamarudin. You readers out there would also know that at times I would either feature or quote some of his postings here in this blog.One thing that you readers out there may not know is that Raja Petra Kamarudin?s blog sometimes hurts my feelings deep inside. I?m pretty sure that there are many other people who may have been offended by his blog as well. No, it has nothing to do with Raja Petra Kamarudin?s postings. Rather it is the comments left behind by his readers.If you have been reading Malaysia Today for quite some time, I?m sure that you would notice the tremendous amount of hatred that Malaysia Today?s readers have on Islam. We do indeed have Islamophobia here in Malaysia.
