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.

This campaign seems to be geared to the average 4th grader.

Pathetic,as is Walsh.

Gee, I've never seen an educational or poster campaign in Boston or elsewhere aimed at combating attacks by Muslims and their terrorist buddies against Christians.

Where is the campaign to combat Christophobia, which is much more prevalent than islamophobia?

Every time there is a terrorist attack in the US, the first thing liberals are always worried about, is to make sure the feelings of the Muslims are not hurt.

What about asking about the personal life of the great prophet Mo, like how many wives did he have, how old was his favorite wife when he began to have sex with her, how many members of the Jewish tribe did he kill after they were kind to him,etc, etc.?

I would love to stand at the finish line at next year’s Marathon with one of those posters on a sign.

This is really an issue In Boston? I mean like there is no real crime going on? The streets are otherwise safe and clean and everything is unicorns and puppy dogs?

I mean really if you belong to a death cult, responsible for 99 percent of all terrorist activity throughout the world, shouldn’t you expect that some people may not appreciate you to much?

Right-thinking people in Boston and environs need to paint a “V” or “Wolverines” (or something of the sort) over these posters.

What’re they going to do, send you to a Nork prison camp for poster vandals to be beaten to death?

Is Boston pandering? Why? Is Boston anti-Jewish?

According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports: Hate Crime Statistics, 2014, there were 1,140 victims of anti-religious hate crimes in the U.S. in 2014. “Of the 1,140 victims of anti-religious hate crimes: 56.8 percent [56.8%] were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders’ anti-Jewish bias.” That amounts to approximately 647.52 instances where Jewish individuals, businesses or institutions were targeted.

A mere “16.1 percent [16.1%] were victims of anti-Islamic (Muslim) bias,” amounting to approximately 183.54 instances where Muslim individuals, businesses or institutions were targeted.

Looks to me like the government is promoting a religion.....


But that’s ok, as long as its muzzie religion and not anything evil, like Christianity.

A phobia is an unreasonable or unwarranted fear. It is neither unwarranted nor unreasonable to fear a system which demands that you be subjugated, enslaved or killed if you refuse to adopt it and to be killed if you leave it. Therefore, Islamophobia does not exist.

Boston Marathon Bombing

April 5, 2013, 8 year old Martin Richard with his family, a backpack bomb
and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

I guess somebody forgot the Marathon bombing. The people of Massachusetts?

I guessed wrong.
