A Clarion Project reader sent us an intriguing article that shows how the cries of “Islamophobia” were used to win the affection of top officials as far back as 1996 -- five years before 9/11.
In this case, Hillary Clinton became the first wife of a sitting President to address a Muslim organization outside the White House. Perhaps unbeknownst to her, the group she honored was founded by Muslim Brotherhood supporters....
The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the group that Clinton addressed, was founded by Hassan and Maher Hathout, two brothers that were imprisoned in Egypt for their membership in the Muslim Brotherhood.
First Lady Clinton came to a joint event of MPAC and the Muslim Women’s League to give them the honor of being the first Muslim groups to be addressed by a First Lady outside the White House.
Interestingly, “Islamophobia” was used as a rallying cry even back then, five years before the 9/11 attacks: The article quotes MPAC’s leaders inferring that Muslims are a persecuted minority. Clinton herself even said Americans “[must] stand up against our own voices of hatred and division.”
Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, a former member of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood front, recalls being at a group meeting in the early 1990s where they came up with the idea to use “Islamophobia” as a political weapon. Of the use of the word, Muhammad later said, “This loathsome term is nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of beating down critics.”

A VERY LONG TIME AGO .... ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS AGO
a work in progress is an understatement
Muhammad said the Islamists decided to emulate the homosexual activists who used the term "homophobia" to silence critics. He said the group meeting at IIIT saw "Islamophobia" as a way to "beat up their critics."

Plus a contribution hillary once tried to squeeze through to the American Museum Society before it became known that it was actually to the American muslim Society, IIRC.
Enemy islamism: currently very fashionable...both Parties.
Most people would consider it a rational thing to fear having your head separated from your shoulders.
Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.
lamborghini? twitter?
OK - what’s with these keywords?
IIRC, Hillary! complained about the impeachment vote saying it was inappropriate to do something like that when it was Christmas time, Hanukkah and Ramaddan. I thought ‘who is thinking anything about Ramaddan?’ Obviously, Hillary! was!
A phobia is an unreasonable or unfounded fear. To fear Islam is neither unreasonable nor unfounded.
