What we really need to reject is Islamophobia-phobia
NY Post ^

Posted on 06/14/2016 5:35:44 PM PDT by Cubs Fan

A dangerous mindset has taken hold in America, but it isn’t Islamophobia. It’s Islamophobia-phobia.

In a large and growing segment of American society, fear of being tagged “racist” about Muslims (though Islam is not a race) provides a much more direct threat to your livelihood than radical Islam

Former police officer Daniel Gilroy told Florida Today that he repeatedly raised red flags about Omar Mateen when both men worked at the same security firm, but his employer did nothing because Mateen was a Muslim.

The pattern is familiar. Before the Islamist attack that left 14 dead in San Bernardino last December, neighbor Aaron Elswick told ABC 7 News in Los Angeles that shooter Syed Farook was “kind of suspicious” and Elswick “wanted to report it” but “didn’t want to profile” him.

Before Army Maj. Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, “He made his views known, and he was very vocal, he had extremely radical jihadist views,” Lt. Col. Val Finnell told FoxNews.com.

Finnell took health-services classes with Hasan, who said, “I’m a Muslim first, and I hold the Shariah, the Islamic Law, before the United States Constitution,” according to Finnell.

That statement alone disqualified Hasan from military service. No one did anything, Finnell added, because “they were too concerned about being politically correct.”

This massacre has chilling ramifications beyond what happened on Sunday night. The Imams finally saw the Angel of Light (as per the bible this is Shaitan). They have seen how the left has manipulated the American people and they have been hard at work schooling their fellow Imams on this very matter. It wasn’t too long ago that muslims were not outspoken about the atrocities that occurred. Case in point: San Bernadino massacre. Between that happening and the massacre in Orlando, muslim spokesmen have done a complete 180 on their rhetoric and their talking points. Muslims have told us they are not to be viewed as muslims but as Americans, as if they have assimilated into the American way of life. Their shallow support for the LGBT community is just that - shallow. I personally have witnessed muslims speak this way before towards non muslims. Then without their knowing have heard them talk in complete opposition to what they have said a mere five minutes ago. I am here to warn people do not let these snake charmers fool you for what they say behind closed doors is not what they say to you or I or the public at large. Trust? I will never trust a muslim. I will listen to what they say as I believe it is always good to listen to your enemy as long as you are assuaged by the rhetoric and vitriol they so espouse. Be careful for they have a new strategy and its one that seems to be working for those who have previously cried they have never heard a muslim speak out against this violence.

Calling someone a racist is right up there with being called a child molester.
When I (and you?) grew up that was true. These days racist can mean you disagree with Obamas economics policies. I'm proud to be a "racist" in many cases now but I'll happily stop anyone who want to lynch a black or not hire someone because of color.

Would obviously help. But the more important thing is for Muslims to turn in and turn on the radicals. They all know who they are, the imam preaching jihad (and pretending it’s not jihad by sword), etc. The remaining Muslims can easily be judged on their ability to keep radicals from their group. If they are found to have harbored a radical in any way, they all have to leave.

That’s just it. Those who call you a racist today INTEND for it to mean that you want to “lynch a black or not hire someone because of color”. Some may know in their hearts it’s just because you disagree with Obama. But I believe most truly believe you are a racist.

I’ve had people call me a racist when they KNOW it’s not true. But if they think calling me a racist will destroy me then that’s what they’ll do. And destroying Obama’s critics is their aim.

Informed rejection of a religion is not a “phobia.” Speaking out against something we reject in society is not “hate”. Plenty of activists reject Christianity. Plenty of activists hate white men and men in general and they shout it from the roof tops. We are allowed to do that in America.

Sometimes one word won’t work. I like tacos too. If no one understands the word then they need to be educated as to what it means. Just because I know what taqqiya is as I know other arabic words does not mean the general populace does. The presenting of the history sometimes needs to be shown for people to connect the dots and in almost all cases a one word response will not do.

That is exactly what stopped the Jihadist Couple in San Bernardino from being stopped before they Murdered those 14 People.

People were afraid to report their suspicious behavior our of fear of being branded haters, or something.

Which reminds me, have they found the missing Wife of the Orlando Jihadist, the Wife that knew what he was up to and did nothing to stop it?

Why haven't we heard about her?
