TAMPA — Hostility towards Muslims in the United States takes the form of new legislation, crimes targeting mosques and other activity by a core network of anti-Islam groups, a new national study has found.

Florida has emerged as a hot spot for Islamophobic activity, according to the study by the Center for Race and Gender at the University of California at Berkeley and by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

The study defines Islamophobia as "a contrived fear or prejudice fomented by the existing Eurocentric and Orientalist global power structure."

Hey, Achmed, I'm not Islamophobic, I'm IslamoNAUSEOUS!

Now STFU!

I predict the first state to authorize the actions of vigilantes will be Florida.

” Center for Race and Gender at the University of California at Berkeley and by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.”

These two organizations were created for the purpose of FINDING bias. Of course, they wouldn’t even think of looking for bias and racism among muzzies.

What violent anti-Muslim backlash occurred in Florida that pushed an Islamic terrorist’s mass murder of 49 people off the front page and made “Islamophobia” the lead story? Or is this just that point in the news cycle: (1) report the number dead, (2) push for gun laws that are unrelated and would not have helped, (3) warn about possible backlash. We’re at step (3), so they invented yet another story that someone somewhere may be tired of terrorists.

Why what has happened in Florida that would cause this?

Islamorealism is when one learns that Islam has been at war with everyone else on the planet since 622 A.D. and must continue that war until there is only Islam, according to the instructions of their prophet in their book.

There can be no peace until there is only Islam
It’s in their book

Muslims are obligated to convert, kill or subjugate all non-muslims
It’s in their book

Everyone in the world must submit to sharia law
It’s in their book

Submit or die, the only choices for infidels
It’s in their book

Mad Mo made it so.

For some reason, every time a muslim in America commits terrorism, we Americans "unfairly" trust them less.

Go figure.

Webster says:

Phobia = “an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear”

Given Orlando and the other 102 Islamo-fascist attacks on the US over the last 2 years, there is nothing “Illogical” about the fear.

Great post.

I would add.

Making matters worse is the fact that so-called moderate Muslims can’t reject any aspect of what is in their book without becoming a target for death by other muslims, it’s in their book.

Unless of course, they are lying to advance Islam, it’s in their book.

A reformation of Islam is impossible and the so-called moderates know this.

So they practice their Islamic faith under fear of death and it’s only the lying that keeps them alive. Well, the lying and the willfully ignorant Western societies.

Phobia: an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.

Is it really a phobia?

Council on American-Islamic Relations needs to be shut down, their members prosecuted.

re>crimes targeting mosques and other activity by a core network of anti-Islam groups

Is the media saying this is happening and they are not reporting it? Has anyone had attacks in their area?
