Order Jamie Glazov’s new book, ‘United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas‘: HERE.
14 days after a Muslim terrorist shot up a bar in Austin, 8 days after two Muslim terrorists threw IEDs at an anti-Islamization rally in New York City, 7 days after Muslim terrorists bombed the U.S. embassy in Sweden, 3 days after Muslim terrorists attacked a college in Virginia and a Jewish preschool in Michigan, and days after Muslim terrorists bombed a synagogue and school in the Netherlands, politicians marked the ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’.
The ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’ was brought into being at the request of Pakistan, which harbored Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of 9/11, at the request of its former leader, Imran Khan, nicknamed ‘Taliban Khan’, who had referred to Bin Laden as a “martyr”.
Christians in Pakistan can be casually killed by Muslims or locked up by the regime if they are accused of the ‘Islamophobic’ crime of blasphemy. A year before ‘Taliban Khan’ and the United Nations gave us the ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’, Pakistan finally allowed Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who had been sentenced to death for blasphemy, to flee the country.
Bibi had spent nearly a decade in solitary confinement while mobs cried, “Kill her, kill her! Allahu Akbar!” The only Christian member of Pakistan’s cabinet was murdered for defending her. So was a Christian governor. 100,000 Muslims rallied for his killer and threatened more Christians.
While one of the dwindling number of Christians in Pakistan was fleeing the Muslim mobs screaming for her death and the murder of any Christians who defended her, Khan addressed a UN ‘Islamophobia’ group alongside Turkey’s Islamist tyrant and warned against “attempts to equate Islam with terrorism” and then any “attempts to denigrate” Mohammed.
Next year, Khan said, “I will never forget how we Pakistanis were embarrassed when the Americans came into Abbottabad and killed Osama Bin Laden, martyred him.”
That same year, he addressed the UN General Assembly and claimed that there was a grave crisis of Islamophobia in which “our prophet (sic) insulted”, “the ‘holy’ Koran burnt”, and “republication of blasphemous sketches by Charlie Hebdo” done in “in the name of freedom of speech”. And freedom of speech would have to go in the name of fighting ‘Islamophobia’.
“The Assembly should declare an “International Day to Combat Islamophobia”,” Khan insisted, before defending the Taliban, Islamic terrorism against Hindus, demanding Muslim control of Jerusalem, comparing India to Nazi Germany, and threatening nuclear war over Kashmir.
Rather than lock him up, the UN gave in to a politician with nuclear weapons who considered Osama bin Laden a martyr, a state sponsor of the murder of Hindus, and head of a regime that persecuted its Christian minority, and created an “International Day to Combat Islamophobia”.
Because why would anyone possibly be afraid of Islam?
Under the auspices of the United Nations, the “International Day to Combat Islamophobia” has become a global event that nearly every country and city has come to collaborate in.
“Let’s eradicate the scourge of Islamophobia from every country and community,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged this year. The UN’s definition of Islamophobia includes Muslim men being “portrayed as the embodiment of extremism and terrorism” and Muslim women wearing burkas as “a sign of gender subjugation in Islam”. The UN’s 2024 Islamophobia Resolution 78/264 defined discrimination as “manifested in the increasing number of incidents of desecration of their holy book”. Eradicating the ‘scourge’ means suppressing any criticism of Islamic terrorism, the Sharia Islamic law’s abuse of women or the Koran.
That’s not ‘Islamophobia’, it’s Blasphemyphobia, Speechophobia and Realityphobia.
A report by the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion Ahmed Shaheed, complained that “in over 600,000 news items published in 2016 and 2017 in the Netherlands, the adjectives most used to describe Muslims were ‘radical’, ‘extremist’ and ‘terrorist’” The Europol agency noted that there had been 718 arrests for terrorist offenses with 135 people killed in 2016.
That was the year that an Islamic terrorist killed 49 people in a Florida nightclub, Islamic terrorists set off bombs across Belgium, killing 32 and wounding 340, an Islamic terrorist ran over people at a Bastille Day event in France with a truck, jamming the wheel wells with their body parts, killing 86 and wounding 458, and a Muslim refugee drove a truck into a Christmas market in Berlin in front of a church, killing a dozen people and wounding another 56 victims.
These massacres did not embody any kind of phobia that we need to remember annually, but according to the United Nations, noticing this rash of Islamic mass murders is Islamophobic.
And we must remember every year to forget.
After 9 Islamic terrorist attacks in America and Europe just this month, and coming off the recent Muslim mass murder of people at a Chanukah beach party in Australia, we are all to paydutiful attention to Khan and the UN’s ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’ and pay no attention.
A week after the Muslim bombing of the U.S. embassy in Oslo, the Swedish Foreign Ministry marked the day and a little over a week since two terrorists tossed IEDs outside Gracie Mansion, the New York City Council hailed ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’ and the City Council Speaker vowed to fight “Islamophobic hate in all its forms.” Whatever that is.
Pakistan, which had gifted us the whole thing, also popped up with a statement from Minister for Science and Technology Khalid Hussain Magsi who “stated that Islam is a religion of peace, compassion, and justice, and linking it with extremism reflects a lack of understanding”.
Should anyone doubt that the U.S. Commission on Religious Freedom found such peaceful Islamic events in Pakistan as the lynching and burning of a tourist accused of burning a Koran (after his death, he turned out to be Muslim), the lynching of a 70-year-old Christian man accused of blasphemy, a Christian man being sentenced to death for blasphemy and Roshni
Shakeel, a 13-year-old Christian girl being kidnapped and forcibly converted and married to a Muslim man twice her age. The Pakistani courts approved of this and when she ran away back home, had her father was arrested for sheltering her from her Muslim pedophile kidnapper.
This is the kind of case that could only happen in Pakistan, a Muslim country or the UK.
Noticing the Muslim persecution, discrimination, murder, kidnapping and rape of non-Muslims under Islamic law and by Islamic states is an unforgivable case of ‘Islamophobia’.
All that’s left for New York City and other countries and cities that have submitted to ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’ is how to best commemorate the event.
On a cold Sunday morning (but not so cold as to send drugged out vagrants to the morgue in Mamdani’s Manhattan) I took a walk downtown, turned around Trinity Church, where George Washington had once attended services, stayed well clear of Wall Street, and then walked down to the plaza dominated by the shadows of two great towers soaring cubistically to the sky.
I chose the North Tower, the first to be had and yet held out the longest, and took the elevator all the way up. Surely, if Islamic terrorism didn’t exist, then I should be able to do that. Shouldn’t I?
It was my way of marking the ‘’International Day to Combat Islamophobia’.
What are you doing to commemorate the ‘’International Day to Combat Islamophobia’?
