Boston launches poster campaign to combat Islamophobia
Fox News ^ | July 18, 2017

Posted on 07/19/2017 7:25:57 AM PDT by Zakeet

Boston has launched a new public service campaign to fight Islamophobia by offering the public ways to address aggression toward others because of their appearance or beliefs.

The campaign launched Monday involves 50 posters that provide a step-by-step guide to handling when someone is being harassed. They will be posted on bus stop benches and other public places around the city.

Titled "What to do if you are witnessing Islamophobic harassment," the posters encourage people to engage with the person who is being targeted and to draw attention away from the harasser. The technique is called "non-complementary behavior," and is intended to disempower an aggressive person by countering their expectations.

If you don't want to offend any nice Muzzies ... you Freepers prolly shouldn't bring up 9/11, beheading, female genital mutilation, jihad, sharia law, killing homosexuals, wife beating or President Trump either.

Establishing a state religion. Where is any tax money spent defending Christians from all the discrimination?

It’s a shame and really gives the agenda away when they have a public service campaign to accept people of the Muslim faith rather than people of all faith.

Christianity is going to become the ‘white man’.

Perhaps a random discussion as to the various merits of pressure cookers would also be appropriate?

I wonder how many lives would actually be saved if those 50 posters were saying how to reach out for help if you’re being abused by a father or husband in an Islamic family?

A government entity such as the City of Boston said Islmophobic? Liberals use the word “phobia” allot for things that are not phobias.

If there was Islamic harassment in the U.S. to amount to anything, there would be videos of it all over YouTube.

For the Left, its a logical project, which the fascist/activist Left will take up continuously and more stridently in the future.

“Islamaphobia” is an unlimited field of operation for collective white guilt, cultural control, leftist political organizing, top-down government mandates. It can be defined to mean anything.

Its the perfect Leftist political cudgel.

"...fight Islamophobia..."


Of course this bold new program makes complete sense!
Islam has never done anything to hurt Boston in the past.

Jim,

You might want to get with the program and hang one of these up by the coffee pot.

Helps you deal with your white guilt issues, they say.

Plenty of antisemitism any antiChristian hate among the lefties in Boston (journalists,college students,professors, outside agitators, politicians...)

Where’s the poster campaign?

2 movies about the Boston bombing are comng out this year. Is this to prevent triggered memories?
