Another year. Another Sept. 11 anniversary. Another opportunity for grievance-mongering Muslim agitators to decry the imagined "epidemic" of "Islamophobia."
South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT) convened with Mad Maxine Waters and other House Democrats in Washington, D.C., to mark a somber occasion this week. No, not the coordinated jihadi mass murder of nearly 3,000 innocent people of all races, nationalities and religions on 9/11. Instead, they lamented Sept. 12 -- "the 16-year anniversary of the day that South Asian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Arab, and Middle Eastern Americans woke up to a new political reality in which the safety of our lives and the security of our homes were irrevocably compromised."
For left-wing zealots, the bloody lash of worldwide Islamic terrorism pales in comparison to the so-called "backlash" against Muslims. SAALT disseminated prefab tweets and declarations naming President Trump, outspoken anti-sharia activist Brigitte Gabriel and her grass-roots group, ACT for America, as well as "law enforcement, immigration enforcement, vigilantes," and "white supremacists" as their enemies.
They're all the same to the tolerance mob.
And "backlash" is a catchall trash can for everything from sideward glances to off-color jokes to offensive cartoons to unresolved crimes to actual acts of intimidation or physical violence. Mixed in with two shootings and a stabbing over the past year classified as hate crimes, SAALT noted that in August, "a Minnesota mosque was firebombed in what the governor rightly declared an 'act of terrorism.'"
One of those things is not like the other. I contacted the FBI this week to ask about the Minnesota mosque incident. It is unsolved after more than a month, and a $30,000 reward for information remains unclaimed. An agent based in Minneapolis acknowledged to me that "it's always a possibility" that the crime may be a hoax.
That's what the Sept. 12 gripers want you to forget: People lie. And too many Muslim opportunists deceive in order to distract and divide.
Just two weeks ago, an alleged hate crime fell apart after a 22-year-old Muslim man admitted he had "exaggerated" an assault in a Durham, Ontario park restroom. Canadian police dropped charges against a 57-year-old man whom the Muslim man claimed had shouted anti-Muslim epithets and punched him in the face.
"We could have charged him with obstructing police or mischief and he was cautioned for those two offences," a police official told the Toronto Sun. But the faker escaped without punishment.
In late August, Indiana State University professor Azhar Hussain received one year's probation for fabricating anti-Muslim threats and an assault. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of obstruction for justice and harassment after lying to cops this spring about being attacked and sending anti-Muslim hate mails to the school.
"Based upon the investigation, it is our belief that Hussain was trying to gain sympathy by becoming a victim of anti-Muslim threats, which he had created himself," the campus police chief concluded.
In June, a small fire at a Des Moines, Iowa, mosque generated national headlines -- until a young Muslim woman was arrested for starting it.
"Security cameras in the mosque showed a woman, later identified as Aisha Ismail, 22, pouring lighter fluid on the carpet and then starting the fire," police reported. "It doesn't appear that she was trying to burn the place down," the local chief said. "It seems like she was trying to make a statement."
In Houston, a "suspicious" fire at a Houston mosque in 2015 turned out to have been set by one of the center's own worshipers who prayed there five times a day for five years. The unindicted terror-funding co-conspirators at CAIR-Houston had clamored for law enforcement authorities to "investigate a possible bias motive for this fire" due to "the recent spike in hate incidents targeting mosques nationwide."
That same year, New Yorker Kashif Parvaiz was convicted of murdering his wife in front of his child after police debunked his cover story of being attacked by a group of bigots who called the family "terrorists."
For every rare and bona fide act of "Islamophobia" in North America, there are multiple acts of Islamo-faux-bia ginned up to stir attention, milk public compassion and generate unfounded fear.
It's bad enough when the Islamo-faux-bists operate any other time of year. It's downright disgusting when they exploit the true horrors of 9/11 to hype their delusions of systemic post-9/12 oppression and collective victimhood.

“the day that South Asian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Arab, and Middle Eastern Americans woke up to a new political reality in which the safety of our lives and the security of our homes were irrevocably compromised.”
Bull!$@#$!
Rolling over for you murderous jackasses to the point your populations EXPLODE even in places where you hardly WERE on 9/11, like my hometown here.
Suddenly there are mosques everywhere. Compromised, my ass. You SHOULD be compromised, in a sane world.
I hate Islam.
BTW, I will say - ignorant people don’t simply bully/harass/attack someone who looks Moslem.
It’s wrong to attack individuals, but also, you may indeed be picking on the wrong people, such as Sikhs and other Hindus who often are at war with Moslems (as is everyone).
But we aren’t SUPPOSED to hate Islam as a whole....
“Religious freedom” and all that, doncha know. The radical Islamic terrorists have been hiding behind the “religion” screen for years, and “moderate” Muslims have done little if anything about it.
Fear and intimidation work, and the radical Islamic jihadists have applied that strategy to the rest of the “religion” to great effect. There is a mindset that grips all of Islam, that is totally and completely antithetical to human freedom and self-determination. While this has been the common condition of mankind down through most of recorded history, and probably for millennia before that, some slowly-won wisdom has built up in the centuries since the beginnings of Christianity and its various branches, culminating in the founding of the Republic of the United States of America, and the proclamation of its two most fundamental documents, the Declaration of Independence (from the tyranny of the Royal Crown of Great Britain), and the Constitution of the United States of America, laying out the framework for an only partially effective government, with internal checks and balances to prevent the rise of any malign oligarchy.
The language of the Sharia law code, which governs all of Islam, is almost diametrically opposed to the language of the US Constitution, and thus is incompatible in any way.
Command and control is the language of the past, and the principles and ideal embodied in the Constitution make it imperative that in the marketplace of the competition over ideas, those ideals and principles must eventually prevail, if the human race is to rise to the stature promised in the Scriptures. But it cannot be by imposing force, only in persuasion and counterstrikes against assaults made upon the great American principles, founded on the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule.
Individual initiative, using the concepts of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” (which is codeword for the right to take title to and enjoy the benefits of property ownership), and the economic system that evolved under these principles, capitalism, has been the engine that has brought enormous prosperity to the vast bulk of the people living under its rule. To do this well, the power of government HAS to be limited, otherwise all the seed corn gets eaten up before the next crop is harvested.
They do nothing but hate. They should not be in this country.
Haven’t we all had enough of their bull crap?
I get up every morning, having had a good nights rest and the first thing I do is start reading the “news”, all which makes me start my day off in anger rather than on a happy note. Why do I let myself read that garbage anyway? I need another hobby!
I don't HATE Islam; hate takes too much effort. I'm hard pressed to think of anything I do hate. But I want it controlled, contained and as far from me as possible; that's self preservation. I don't hate pedophiles, but I want them kept away from children and appropriately punished for any child-harming behavior. I don't hate homosexuals, transsexuals or other varieties of weirdos, but I want them to keep it out of my face and keep their hands out of my crotch. I don't hate liberals, socialists, progressives, communists, Marxists (but, I repeat myself) but I do want them defeated, thoroughly marginalized and never again in charge.
I disagree. The radical Islamic terrorists are the true face of Islam, acting in accordance with the dictates of the Qur'an; the "moderate" Muslims are either apostates, as deserving of death as we Infidels, or they are practicing taqiyya.
I said I hate Islam. I also hate fascism and communism. Sorry, they are philosophies deserving of hatred.
