Islamophobia and real fear - Democrat's real fear isn't Islamophobia.

D Democrats excel at warping the English language, making it say things it was never intended to say. There is “American gun culture,” which amounts to our unalienable, express Second Amendment rights. There are “assault weapons,” a term that exists nowhere in firearm nomenclature, but which in Virginia includes break action, single shot .410 shotguns. And there is “Ultra MAGA,” which is Normal Americans who apparently really want America to be great, prosperous and secure—the horror.

And most of all, there are the phobias. Dictionary.com defines phobia thus:

1. an intense, persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, situation, or person that manifests in physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, rapid heartbeat, or shortness of breath, and that motivates avoidance behavior.

In other words, not a reasonable concern, but an irrational fear amounting to mental illness. According to Democrats, Normal Americans spend most of their time sweating, trembling and worse at the mere thought of trans, gays, and the most currently trendy phobia: Islamophobia.

The point of this particular warping is to paint sane, rational people reasonably concerned about the very nature of Islam and the murderous acts of its adherents as dangerously mentally ill. They’re irrational, sweaty and trembling haters of innocent, mostly peaceful Muslims.

It’s also meant to quash any criticism of Islam and Islamists, you know--the whole First Amendment thing.

Sure, Islamists throw gays off high buildings or hang them from cranes, they beat, rape, torture and murder women, burn babies alive in ovens, torture, mutilate, rape and murder Jews and other infidels and are currently firing missiles, rockets and drones at other Muslims but recognition by sane people of Jihadist’s blood thirsty mania and the determination of Islamist’s victims not to be killed is the problem.

The left sides with the criminals, violent groups, jihadi muslims and people so delusional that they don’t know their own gender. Who is insane?

[Carry_Okie]

Democrats can’t make an honest living without power in government.
To them, power is everything.

[Uncle Miltie]

islamophobia is impossible because a phobia is an irrational fear.

[Pete Dovgan]

Probably going to take some critic remarks for this. I don’t think we should group all ‘Muslim people’ together. I don’t like it when people group all ‘Christians’ together. The actions of certain Christian groups and leaders I don’t agree with. Western Culture and Muslim culture clash, because of fundamental values.

We all can have value differences, and I don’t want to interfere in another peoples religion or government. That is true right up to the time they declare war on the United States and attempt to damage our culture and kill our Citizens. Then, just as Jefferson did with the Barbary Pirates, it’s time to fight back.

What is clear to me, is that after the Socialist destroy a Republic or Democratic nation, they turn to the Islamists to get new voters and loyalists. They do so because no one else will vote for them.

Liberals are very successful at coining Newspeak terms to sell the viewpoints they want - “assault weapons,” “pro-choice,” “gender affirming care,” etc.

[Sicon]

One wonders if the equally dimwitted immigration cracktivist with a bullhorn hectoring the crowd about the wonders of illegal immigration at that NYC attack, who had a Jihadist leap on his back while throwing a bomb, is having second thoughts about immigration, or at least about his dumb luck in not being shredded by Islamist shrapnel?

I'd bet almost everything I own that he is having no second thoughts. To the extent that he has any thoughts at all, they are likely dominated by Orange Man Bad. Like almost all leftists, he's mentally ill.

Can a person who thinks s/he is a Muslim be a nice person? Sure. Can a person who actually follows the teachings of The Prophet be a nice person? Absolutely not.

[Terry L Smith]

I am a 73 year old deplorable American Nativist.
I believe in America for Americans, period.
I understand that Mohammedanism is both a self-contaiined political and religious system, regardless of the host country. This is antithetical to the ways of everyday life in America.
I love dogs, especially Dobermans.
I enjoy being clothed in self-determination.
I enjoy expressing my 2nd Amendment rights, which allows me to exercise my 1st Amendment rights, without punishment.

In closing, (unlike most Sunday morning preachers), I state: “The world of fanatical jihadism has no place nor nourishment to seed and sprout in a Nativist’s America.”

Western Culture and Muslim culture clash, because of fundamental values.

Muslims clash with every other culture because their religion tells them that it is an absolute requirement to convert the infidel or kill them.

The Muslim religion informs them that it is an act of mercy to kill those who will not convert.

The Muslim religion tells them that any criminal act, no matter how evil, is okay to commit against the infidel.

Having Muslims anywhere near your culture is an existential threat, not a clash of cultures.

Because of the Muslim’s propensity to violent acts it does not take many to disrupt or upend a culture.

Once the Muslims have control of your society it is not easy to regain control. It took Spain 800 years to take back their country from the Muslims.

[Ex-Con777]

You are correct.

This eight minute video by Brigitte Gabriel lays out the history of Islam from an upstart, failed attempt to start a new religion, to the monstrous, barbaric, cult it has become.

I learned A LOT.

Democrats navigated identity politics and the myth of “diversity” with some success for decades.

But when “identity” politics embraced Muslims everything started to go to hell.

You cannot have nor preach nor pretend diversity if Muslims are a foundation of your political base.

I’m sure that when folk on FR read about Lesbians for a Free Palestine it brings a head shake and a smile.

There is NO reality where that exists.

A rainbow flag will never fly where theocracy rules unless Pegleg Pete the present mullah in chief has some kind of superpowers.

Diversity cannot be the predictable driver.

MAGA is a movement.

And an unwritten but understood principle of MAGA is that diversity is welcomed but in the end assimilation is required.

[Bobbyvotes]

Democrats are so much better at propaganda than Republicans.
I wonder why is that.

[READINABLUESTATE]

The fear is real.

[Uncle Miltie]

True, but fear of muslims is not irrational.

We don’t call it cancer-phobia or heart disease-phobia when we take rational steps to avoid being killed by them.

Similarly, it is not “islamophobia” to take rational steps to avoid being murdered by people who believe they go to heaven if they do murder you.

I don’t suppose every last one of the 2,000,000,000 muslims on the planet want to murder me. But I do estimate that 200,000,000 do want to murder me, I do take precautions, and that is not a phobia.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

A better word is islamoMISIA, a revulsion of islam.
Also works for homoMISIA and transMISIA.
I learned that word from a FReeper years ago.

[Migraine]

Democrats can’t make an honest living without power in government.

Slow down, Sparky. They work their asses off, polishing the seats of office chairs as bureaucrats. Hmm.. I guess your statement is dead-on accurate.

[Longdriver69]

Islamodium is more accurate for me.

Nancy Mace:

Not wanting to be blown up or shot by radical terrorists screaming "Allahu Akbar" is not Islamophobia.

It’s a rational response to real, repeated violence.
Stop weaponizing the word "phobia" to shut down every conversation the Left cannot win. You do not get to redefine common sense as bigotry.
