AP: Praying the Rosary is “Islamophobic”
https://www.jihadwatch.org ^ | 10/09/2017 | Robert Spencer

This morning Christine Douglass-Williams brought you a report here at Jihad Watch on this Roman Catholic “Rosary to the Borders” event in Poland.

Noteworthy also is how the Associated Press covered the event: “some felt,” the AP intoned, that the event “had anti-Muslim overtones.” Why? Because “the event also commemorated the huge 16th-century naval battle of Lepanto, when a Christian alliance acting on the wishes of the pope defeated Ottoman Empire forces on the Ionian Sea, ‘thus saving Europe from Islamization.’”

That is a historical fact, but as far as the AP is concerned, noting it is “Islamophobic.” Europeans, in AP’s world, are always predators and perpetrators of evil. Muslims are always victims.

So it doesn’t matter if the Battle of Lepanto and the Ottoman jihad against Europe really happened. Poles are wrong to be grateful for this victory. They should be lamenting it as a triumph of “white supremacism” over “diversity.” To wish to defend one’s religion, people and culture against hostile invaders, why, that’s way beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse today — unless one is “Palestinian” or a Rohingya Muslim (in which cases the “hostile invasion” aspect is trumped-up anyway).

“She said she was also praying for the survival of Christianity in Poland and Europe against what she sees as an Islamic threat facing the West.”

Only racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” could think there is an Islamic threat facing the West, right? Meanwhile, there has been a 64% increase in violent jihadis in Germany in one year, and now there over 1,800 there...

The Battle of Lepanto was Islamophobic by that reasoning.

It is Islamophobic to not Submit or Die.

A phobia is an Irrational fear. Other than that, what we have here is a broken clock having a good day. But don’t tell the Pope.

Mad Mo launched his never-ending jihad in 622 A.D.
By 732 they had conquered all of North Africa and Spain and had entered France.
They were stopped by Charles Martel and his Islamophobic Franks.
Over the centuries many more attempts at conquering Europe were made, the last in 1683, when Jan Sobieski and his Islamophobic winged Hussars drove the muslims from the gates of Vienna.

A strong response is needed. The Byzantine empire was a poor custodian of Christian lands during the rise of Islam. Calls for the return of Constantinople to Christendom must be made.

You betcha’ the Holy Rosary is anti-Islamic! (Take it and run with it.)
The Holy Rosary is CHRISTIAN!

The radicals are just miffed that many Muslims hold the Blessed Mother in esteem. There are many historical accounts of this fact.

Calling the Rosary in Poland on the borders “Islamophobic” is Christophobic...so there.

That's exactly right. They divide the world into two Houses --

The House of War is where someone, somewhere has refused to submit to Allah. The Muslims wage Jihad there and will do whatever it takes to destroy other faiths and force Islam on everyone.

The House of Peace -- Peace/Submission/Islam is all the same word. If everyone is a good Muslim, then there is peace. That is their goal. They know it's a bloody road to get there. But they are willing to chop as many heads as it takes.

“had anti-Muslim overtones.”

"Islam" is not a religion. It's a political ideology and a plan for conquest and world domination. Darn right this "rosary" event is anti-islamic. We had all better become a whole lot MORE anti-islamic. The alternative is unthinkable.

Hah! As if ...

It's not enough for everyone to be a good mohammedan. They also have to be the right kind of mohammedan. When they're not killing Jews, Christians, and pagans, they're killing each other.

Actually, we have been in the midst of the last attempt to conquer Europe, so far moving along quite successfully, since the 1960's and Turkish Gastarbeiters arriving "temporarily" in Germany. The opening of the rest of Western Europe to immigrants and "economic refugees" from former colonies completed the infiltration. All due to the suicidal mindset of a political class whose corpses should be swinging from lamp posts across the continent, and the surrender of ossified and complacent European Christianity to Atheistic Socialism.

Whoever came up with the idea of throwing “phobic” on the end of every grievance group sucks.

It is Islamophobic for your neck bones to dull the blade a Jihadis’ machete as he clumsily lops your head off in a few dozen hacks.
