There were 546 reported incidents of Islamophobia in Spain in 2017, according to a report released Friday by the Citizens’ Platform Against Islamophobia (PCI). […]

The most frequent type of incident cited were those of “defamation, slander, and libel,” in which Muslim men were accused of being “violent, sexist, chauvinists, pedophiles, backwards, intolerant, or terrorists,” while Muslim women were characterized as being “submissive, oppressed, ignorant, or backwards.”

The second leading category of incidents was those of discrimination or negation of rights. The report used the European Union’s definition of discrimination, citing it as the “conduct, action, or omission by which a person is treated less favorably than another in a comparable situation and when an apparently neutral provision, criterion, or practice places people at a particular disadvantage with respect to others.”

Other types of attack include harassment, organized campaigns, fake news, verbal and written threats, and property damage.

The rising trends in incidents occurred both online and “on the streets.” Of the 546 cases, 160 of them occurred offline and 386 of them occurred online on social media platforms and various news sites.

According to the report, Catalonia leads in the latter category with the most number of Islamophobic incidents reported in the last year. Of the 160 total incidents that occurred “offline,” 31.88 percent of them occurred in Catalonia. …

"...Islamophobia one the rise..."

Muslims could eliminate that by halting shootings, stabbings, bombings, beheadings, drownings, and other outrageous violence done in the name of their death cult religion.

Poor babies.

Being talked about badly after conducting a horrific terrorist attack.

in which Muslim men were accused of being “violent, sexist, chauvinists, pedophiles, backwards, intolerant, or terrorists,”

Or? Do they have to pick just one?

(I didn't expect the Spanish Islamophobia Inquisition).

"US Muslims struggle with how they
should condemn extremism"

Well, bless their hearts.  It would be helpful if we are to understand their angst, to personalize the issue or adjust the frame for a more familiar perspective.

Americans struggle with how they should condemn incest.

Americans in 1941 struggle with how they should condemn the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Americans struggle with how they should condemn slavery.

Americans struggle with how they should condemn anti-Muslim genocide.

Well, I think I've learned a little something from this exercise, primarily that something inherently evil as beheading innocents, random mass murder, and the premeditated destruction of conquered civilizations, should qualify for condemnation with no moral struggling at all.  And to the extent you find it difficult to condemn evil, then that is the extent to which you are complicit and indeed, a facilitator.

Deport all followers of the death cult and then good people won’t have to worry about them.

[Regulator]

Well, Spain has been like that before.

Believe it was 1492, when Ferdinand and Isabella pushed the last Mohammedan off the beach into the Mediterranean and declared Spain the land of the Christians again.

Guess that was kinda Islamophobic.

Good thing that.

"violent, sexist, chauvinists, pedophiles, backwards, intolerant, or terrorists"

Lies! Lies!

[jmacusa]

Yeah! Hey keep it down will ya? We’re trying to have a Religion of Peace here! :-)

1492-The Jooz lost out too.

[Robert DeLong]

Christophobia is out of control here in the US

Make that the majority of the world. Russia seems to be the only place now where it isn't under attack, because the government doesn't support the attacks on Christianity.

[The Antiyuppie]

Well, it must be due to that rather nasty experience that they had with Islam several hundred years ago.
