"We Are Scared, We Are Grieving": Muslim Activist in Paris Condemns Attacks, Rising Islamophobia
Democracy Now ^ | NOVEMBER 16, 2015

Posted on 11/16/2015 7:35:40 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Reports of Islamophobia have already emerged following the Paris attacks, and fears of attacks on Muslims in Paris have risen.

After al-Qaeda-linked gunmen attacked the magazine Charlie Hebdo in January, there were nearly as many anti-Muslim incidents in the two weeks following the attacks as there were in all of the previous year. More than 220 anti-Muslim acts were recorded in the first quarter of 2015, a sixfold increase over the same period the previous year.

The incidents included violent assaults and destruction of Muslim places of worship. For more, we speak with Yasser Louati, spokesperson and head of the International Relations Desk for the Collective Against Islamophobia in France (CCIF).

So *this* is where the "phobia" part of "islamophobia" originates. It finally makes sense. You have to wait for the proponents to reach critical mass and start stabbing, shooting, and blowing others up. And then you know fear of islam ... for good reason. It makes total sense. I wonder if this is how the "phobia" in "homophobia" plays out too.

There is no such thing as Islamophobia, a phobia is an irrational fear. Knowing that Islam has condoned and fostered violence everywhere it has been practiced for more than 1500 years, and being wary of it is not irrational.

Like this is the utmost sign of indecency, blaming Muslims and asking them to take to the street and show solidarity, when Muslims themselves are the first targets of these terrorist organizations abroad and now here in France.

How indecent of us to demand you goat humpers publicly chose one side or the other...

And so the dolts should manage their own society.

I’ll shed no tears nor lose any sleep for their fears.

“Reports of Islamophobia have already emerged following the Paris attacks...”

I wonder if these people would be saying that Jews had a PHOBIA about the Nazis, as the Jews were being rounded up, tagged, and put in cattle cars.

Perhaps watching the Muslims in France carrying around severed heads might get them to stop calling it a ‘phobia’...but probably not, as the persons they’re accusing of being ‘phobic’ are the ones that still have their heads attached.

If I remember from several history course in secondary and college, the Jews were not wearing suicide vests, blowing up busses, and cutting off heads.

Look what they’ve done to us. Nonbelievers/infidels get shot and the world blames Islam. We will avenge the deaths of our brother Muslims if anything happens to us!

Muzzies always play the victim card when they’re on the defensive. They say that their religion is all about peace! But, when they are on the rise, watch out and don’t expect sympathy from the “moderate” Muzzies.
The Koran explicitly calls for violence against infidels for simply existing.
It’s time to put the chief Muzzie in the WH in shackles and try him for treason.

Islamophobia indicates a fear of Islam....no one is afraid of Islam, just thoroughly disgusted and fed up with it.

Islam is not a religion, it is a complete philosophy covering government, laws, religion, behavior...everything. It was founded by a pedophile warlord and is based entirely on force...accept it or be killed....

——All of islam supports Isis .——

That’s not really true...

There are a handful of Imams who publicly stated and support eradicating them...

Not nearly enough though...

A one way street. They live a lie. No need to ever believe one of them on anything. They have proven time, and again with their terrorist activities, beheadings, deceit, and if not that then the support of they whom do such by their dancing, passing of candy, and displays of extreme joy.

Never believe a Muslim ever. Know, and act on the knowledge they are Islamists. Evil.
