Have you ever heard so much BS in all your life? Islam complaining about hate crimes

 

Like Palestinians, Muslims in general play the victim card better than anyone else in the world. They are responsible for most of the terrorism in the world, and most of the civil wars in the world. They have committed the most atrociously barbaric acts of violence the world has ever seen, and yet they whine incessantly about being picked on. What madness! There is no ideology more hateful than Islam.

Hate crimes against Arabs, Muslims spur community

and federal action

Dec. 14 (UPI) -- The Islamic Human Rights Commission seeks to address anti-Arab and anti-Muslim hate crimes during a two-day virtual conference held Saturday and Sunday.

That's almost an oxymoron - The Islamic Human Rights Commission

"The genocide in Gaza has brought into specific relief the forces that have mobilized in many Western countries to stifle and squash any expressions of solidarity with the Palestinians," representatives for the London-based non-governmental organization alleged in the event announcement.

When you start off with a lie (genocide), there is nowhere to go but downhill.

The IHRC has previously been accused of pro-Iranian bias. In a 2023 review ordered by Britain's House of Commons, report author William Shawcross described the IHRC as "an Islamist group ideologically aligned with the Iranian regime, that has a history of "extremist links and terrorist sympathies."

"In countries like the U.S., U.K., France and Germany, pre-existing sentiments of Islamophobia have gained new and bolder currency," the IHRC said," with suppression of free speech, press and the right to assemble and protest coming from both the public and private sectors."

Really, the only suppression of free speech I see is when Westerners speak out against Islam, or when women try to speak out in Islam.

The IHRC said "selective outrage" begets "selective enforcement of laws and regulations under the guise of maintaining order, security and protecting allegedly unsafe communities."

And no one feigns outrage like a Muslim.

"The net result is a chilling effect on Muslims being full and equal participants in the public sphere," the IHRC said, "restricting not only what they profess and practice, but also their mere presence in society."

Muslims are more than full and equal participants in Western societies. They have prayer meetings on some of the busiest streets in Europe; they march and chant terrorist slogans without repercussion;  and they punch well above their weight in the political sphere.

The Islamophobia conference is being held after President Joe Biden on Thursday announced the United States' first national strategy to counter Islamophobia and anti-Arab hate.

The strategy calls for raising awareness of hatred against Muslims and Arabs while recognizing their respective heritages and improving their safety and security.

And thank God, Joe is almost retired.

The strategy also seeks to address discrimination against Arabs and Muslims while supporting their religious practices - especially in federally funded activities.

In Christian America, supporting Christian practices in federally funded programs is anathema. Left-loonies go hysterical when the government supports Christianity. But they appear to want to support Islam. How insane!

Building cross-community solidarity that treat threats against one group as threats against all also is a keystone of the national strategy to reduce and potentially eliminate all types of hate crimes.

Their strategy should first be to determine why Islamophobia is growing. That involves looking at government policy and programs that support Islam as it runs counter to American culture and values.

Biden's plan is "too little, too late," the Council of American-Islamic Relations said Thursday in an online statement. CAIR is a U.S. Muslim advocacy group and think tank.

CAIR called Biden a "mass murderer" for supporting Israel in the war started when Hamas attacked and killed about 1,200 Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, 2023, and took about 250 hostages.

Many of those hostages were raped, murdered, and about 100 are still being held hostage after 14 months.

"If President Biden truly cared about the safety of Muslims or reducing the threat of Islamophobia, he would make major changes to federal programs that perpetuate anti-Muslim discrimination." CAIR officials said.

Do you really think Biden cares about the safety of Muslims, or anyone else for that matter?  Biden cares about moving as many weapons to his proxy war in Ukraine as he possibly can before retiring. He doesn't care how many Ukrainians or Russians die, why would he care about Muslims?

CAIR cited a federal watch list as an example of ways in which it says the U.S. federal government perpetuates anti-Muslim sentiment.

If there weren't so many Muslim groups determined to destroy America, such programs wouldn't be necessary.

CAIR also denounced the Biden administration's support of Israel and said "dehumanizing anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim rhetoric" is used to justify what it called "genocide in Gaza" while silencing Israel's critics.

Again, genocide is a lie! Muslims and Palestinians dehumanized themselves when they really committed barbarous acts of genocide against Jews on Oct 7, '23.

While the Islamophobia conference continues, attacks on Arabs and Muslims are on the rise in New York and elsewhere.

And, attacks by Muslims and Arabs are on the rise everywhere!

CAIR reported 4,951 hate crimes and other incidents against Arabs and Muslims in the United States from January to June, which is a 69% increase from a year earlier.

American Muslims are generally a peaceful and quiet group. But they are like that in all countries where they are a small minority. Once they reach levels of 10 or 20%, even in small areas, everything changes.

The Islamization of Britain > Unbelievable British Justice; London Police confuse hate speech limits - 2 tier justice; Muslim hate crime, not criminal in Cambridgeshire

 





UK: London police say imam’s call to

‘destroy Jewish homes’ is not a crime


It’s a direct call for violence. If the roles were reversed and a rabbi had called upon people to destroy the homes of Muslims, you can be certain that he would be behind bars in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain today. But this is not a crime, because the Metropolitan Police know who their new overlords are.


Imam’s ‘destroy Jewish homes’ sermon is not a crime, say police

by Lorin Bell-Cross, The JC, November 20, 2024:

The Metropolitan Police have said that an imam who led a prayer for the destruction of Jewish homes “did not meet the threshold of a crime” in a decision that has baffled security experts.

Just two weeks after Hamas’s massacre in southern Israel last year, a preacher at an east London mosque – located near a sizeable Jewish community – told his followers: “Oh Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel. Oh Allah, curse the infidels and the polytheists.

“Oh Allah, break their words, shake their feet, disperse and tear apart their unity and ruin their houses and destroy their homes.”

Footage of the sermon by the preacher was broadcast in late 2023 as part of an investigation into antisemitic hate speech in British mosques. In response, police said they would examine the video.

A spokesperson for the Met has now told the JC that despite the fact that “many people found the content upsetting… the entire sermon, including the wording, context and narrative have been reviewed and officers concluded that it does not meet the threshold of a crime”.

The government’s independent adviser on antisemitism, Lord Mann, urged the force to “re-investigate” and said he would be “raising the details of this specific case with the policing minister”.

Jewish security group Community Security Trust (CST), which has a close and cooperative relationship with the police, said that many Jews would “struggle to understand” the decision, while a former policeman suggested this was a sign of “two-tier policing” that followed different rules for different communities….

Bleksley said: “The language used by the [east London] preacher and the response from the Met Police is now a template for what is not illegal, for what can be said.”

He continued: “If a preacher of any other religion wanted to supplant the word ‘God’ for ‘Allah’ and ‘Muslims’ for ‘Jews’, that would be the perfect test to see if there is two-tier policing. They have set a precedent now.”

Surely, some cases where Brits have been jailed for years for saying things about Islam must be revisited in the light of this stunning revelation.

UK police refuse to arrest man who sent Nazi symbol

to Jewish students, ‘non-crime hate incident’


If a cartoon of Muhammad had been sent to Muslim students, how quickly do you think the sender would have been arrested?


Swastika sent to Jewish students, labelled non-hate crime by UK police

Jerusalem Post, November 18, 2024:

Police in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, refused to arrest a man who sent Nazi swastikas to Jewish students, the Telegraph reported on Saturday.

The suspect sent an image of the Star of David mixed with the Nazi swastika on social media to the Union of Jewish Students with the caption “The irony of becoming what you once hated.”

The offender wrote there was “nothing endangering Jewish students” and claimed that the UJS was “exploiting them to push pro-genocide propaganda and deflect Israel’s responsibility for murdering 40,000 civilians”.

This is a lie typical of Palestinians and their supporters. The number comes from a Hamas run agency and is certainly grossly exaggerated and misrepresents the number of Hamas soldiers who have died and gone to Hell. At any rate, if Hamas was the least bit concerned about civilian casualties, they would not hide their soldiers, arsenals, and rocket launchers among civilians.

Still, the Cambridgeshire police force deemed the antisemitic act not offensive enough to be a crime.

The Telegraph reported that the incident was labeled as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI).

According to Alex Hearn, co-director of Labour Against Anti-Semitism, this isn’t the first antisemitic incident against the UJS that was reported to the Cambridgeshire police. In October, a man used X/Twitter to send offensive messages to him and the Jewish students….

NYPD Investigating 9th Anti-Semitic Attack Reported This Week

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork)New information was released Saturday morning about another anti-Semitic incident in Brooklyn. It follows a series of anti-Semitic attacks this week and an increase in overall hate crimes around the city.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said that acts of hate shouldn’t be belittled or explained away when he toured the Chabad World Headquarters in Brooklyn on Friday. “We see exactly what’s happening, and we will not accept it,” he said.

He toured the location on the same day a man reportedly walked in and threatened to shoot the place up. No one has been arrested.

“It’s something that’s very alarming. We treat them very seriously, and we make sure that our investigators do their best to do what we can to bring these individuals to justice that commit these crimes,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison said.

The attack took place at a rabbi's home during Hannukah

Friday’s incident was the latest in at least nine anti-Semitic attacks in New York City, all of them within less than a week.

“We can’t live under siege like that, our communities all over the city. This has to stop, and it’s not getting better, it’s actually getting worse,” Jewish activist Devorah Halberstram said.

Also on Friday, the same day as the Chabad incident, police arrested a 30-year-old woman for slapping three young Jewish women in Crown Heights while she yelled anti-Semitic slurs.

On Thursday, police arrested a 42-year-old homeless woman in Gravesend. She was accused of hitting a mother who was walking her 3-year-old child, also while yelling anti-Semitic slurs. Witnesses were able to follow the suspect until police made the arrest.

“Once I seen the kid go to the ground, I ran over and had to make sure that I stopped it,” witness Sean Lennon said.

Grafton E Thomas (L) is facing five counts of attempted murder, police say

Police released details Saturday about an incident that happened early Wednesday morning. They say a 40-year-old man dressed in traditional Jewish clothing was walking home in Borough Park when an unknown individual approached him and blocked his path. When the victim tried to walk around the man, the man allegedly punched the victim in the face then ran off.

Three anti-Semitic incidents were reported on Tuesday.

In one incident, an unknown individual struck the male victim in the face. The suspect was later apprehended.

In Crown Heights, a 56-year-old man was walking on Union Street when a group approached him and one person in the group punched him. No one was arrested.

That same day, a 25-year-old man was walking along Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights when a group of people allegedly began yelling anti-Semitic slurs at him. They also allegedly threw a beverage at the victim.

Two anti-Semitic incidents were reported on Monday. In Williamsburg, a group of teenagers allegedly attacked a 6-year-old boy and a 7-year-old boy in the lobby of a residential building. In Midtown, a 65-year-old man was allegedly punched and kicked by a man who also made anti-Semitic slurs. A Florida man was arrested in connection to that incident.

The NYPD is putting up more patrols around Hasidic neighborhoods in response. Also starting Sunday, the Guardian Angels, a non-profit volunteer organization aimed to prevent crime, will be starting patrols in Crown Heights to protect the community.

“The Guardian Angels will be there as long as necessary. Remember, even though we’ve had a spate of attacks recently, there’s been a steady series of attacks that have gone unaddressed,” Curtis Sliwa said.

Governor Cuomo sent out a statement Saturday, saying “the cowards responsible for these despicable attacks are trying to inject fear into our Jewish communities, but New Yorkers will always band together and categorically reject anti-Semitism whenever it rears its ugly head.”

The new Guardian Angels patrols will begin Sunday at noon and will also spread to Williamsburg and Borough Park.

40 years ago, as a brand new Christian, I told a pastor that the world would become more and more polarized against Christianity and Judaism. Antisemitism is increasing at a very disturbing rate in all western countries, as if we have already forgotten the incredible evil of the  Holocaust. 

AntiChristianity is also increasing in the west. It has always been substantial in eastern countries, but is growing rapidly in western countries, whether because of the influence of Muslim immigrants, or because of the left, far-left leanings of most countries. Few left-leaning people believe in God in any meaningful way (such as having a real relationship with Jesus Christ), but rather, they blame Christianity and Judaism for all the evils of the world.

Of course, they have it almost completely reversed, as Christopher Hitchens' brother, Peter, found out while living in Communist Moscow. John Lennon may have started the revolution against God - "God is dead!" "I'm more famous than Jesus Christ!" 'Imagine!' However, what the media completely ignores about John Lennon was that he became a born-again Christian in his last years. It's why Yoko Ono left him.

The rapid increase of antisemitism and antiChristianity is a sign that we are in the End Times. Persecution will get much, much worse for both Christians and Jews before Christ returns to put it all right.

‘Anti-Semitism Spreading Like Poison’: France Stained by Weekend of Vandalism & Year of Hate Crimes

France’s interior minister has vowed to take a tougher stance on hatred, after multiple incidents of anti-semitic vandalism, and a spike in anti-Jewish hate crimes last year.

Parisians were greeted with crudely daubed anti-Semitic slogans on shop fronts last weekend, including swastikas sprayed over images of late politician and Holocaust survivor Simone Veil, and the German word for Jews (“Juden”) sprayed on a bagel shop in the city center.  

A memorial tree planted in honor of a young Jewish man, tortured to death in a 2006 attack, was also chopped down. Visiting the suburb where the tree once stood, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner declared that “anti-Semitism is spreading like a poison, like a venom.”

“It’s rotting minds, it’s killing,” Castaner continued, before vowing to crack down on anti-Jewish hatred.

Yellow Vests blamed by some

Castaner did not blame any particular group for the spread of anti-Semitism, but some within the French government and media were quick to blame extremists among anti-Government ‘Yellow Vest’ demonstrators. Government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux linked the graffiti to an arson attack on the home of Parliamentary Speaker Richard Ferrand one week earlier, believed to be the work of the Yellow Vests. The Union of French Jewish Students also pinned blame for the racist daubings on the Yellow Vests.

The bagel bakery’s owner disputes the link, and said that the graffiti appeared on his shop hours before protests broke out nearby.

Most vicious attacks by Muslim extremists

The video above manages to ignore the role of Islam in the growing antisemitism in France, but it has a major role.

Moreover, France has been struggling with anti-Semitism long before protests began last November. The number of reported anti-Semitic attacks in France rose 74 percent last year to 541, up from 311 in 2017. The most vicious of these attacks was carried out by Islamic extremists, who have revived an ancient religious conflict on the streets of modern France.

After surviving the Vichy government’s roundup of Jews in 1942, 85-year-old Mireille Knoll was was stabbed to death and set on fire in her apartment last March by her Muslim neighbor. Prosecutors said the attack was motivated by the neighbor’s anti-Semitic beliefs.

One year earlier, another elderly Jewish woman, Sarah Halimi, was killed by a Malian man who shouted: “Allahu Akbar,” before throwing her out of a window. In 2015, a gunman pledging allegiance to the Islamic State terror group killed four people in a Kosher supermarket in Paris, while 2012 saw three children and a teacher from a Jewish school in Toulouse killed by an Islamist fanatic.

Ilan Halimi, whose memorial tree was vandalized over the weekend, was abducted and ransomed by a group of attackers who believed that all Jews were rich, and could afford to pay up. His family could not afford the ransom, and Halimi died after being tortured for three weeks. In court, the ringleader of the attackers appeared unrepentant, declaring“all Jews are my enemies” and pointing upwards while saying: “Allahu Akbar.”

All radical Muslims are completely insane!

After every attack, the French government pledged to do more to combat anti-Semitism. However, some of France’s Jewish population – the largest in the world behind the United States and Israel – have had enough. An EU-wide survey last year found that French Jews were among the most likely to consider emigrating to Israel, where citizenship is a birthright for Jews worldwide. More than 20,000 of France’s roughly half a million Jews made the one-way trip since 2014.

“In two months we’ll be emigrating to Israel because of the anti-Semitism in Europe,” one French woman told the survey. “Nothing is being done about it. So we are leaving voluntarily.”

As this article points out, radical Muslim are responsible for the most heinous acts of antisemitism, but is it likely that the extraordinary influx of apparently moderate Muslims into Europe is feeding the growing hatred of Jews? Are EU countries addressing this issue in any way? If they don't act soon, most of Europe will be as antisemitic as Nazi Germany was in the late 1930s.
