Brace yourselves—We the People will soon be told with half-convincing logic the biggest challenge our nation faces today is “Islamophobia.”
This from frontpagemag.com.
Yes, this is real. Jewish Insider reported Friday that according to “Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff,” who is the husband of Dear Kamala the Great:
[T]he Biden administration [Read: Barrackamala Regime] plans to soon release new guidance on best practices for combating Islamophobia.
Wait, what. Why is Doug Emhoff, who is a private citizen, involved in any Regime initiative, no matter how worthy (or unworthy) that initiative may be?
A Second Lady or Second Gentleman does not belong in the federal bureaucracy no matter how leviathan it has become. However, Emhoff has been tasked with working on something the federal government has no business being involved in but is typical of the fingers-in-every-pie Obama style:
An initiative that will result in restrictions on speech.
This is because the term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena:
[V]igilante attacks against innocent [moslems], which are never justified and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary.
Say what? The objective of this conflation is to silence that analysis by falsely claiming it leads to or causes those attacks.
Even worse, Emhoff noted, according to Jewish Insider:
[M]any of those participating in Thursday’s meeting are ‘part of the interagency group that the president stood up to counter antisemitism and also Islamophobia.
But why equate the two?
Antisemitism has broken out with new virulence and violence all over North America and Europe since Hamas jihadis murdered 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023.
But “Islamophobia”?
The world has not seen attacks on innocent moslems on anything like the scale of attacks on Jews since Oct. 7, nor should it. In fact, actual incidents of anti-moslem hate are so rare that they have to be invented to shore up the left’s sagging victimhood narrative.
In a typical incident, the Daily Mail reported on July 11:
University of Washington student Isha Hussein claimed her roommate made Islamophobic remarks and threatened to stab her with a knife as she prayed. The roommate denied the allegations but was temporarily removed from her dorm and later moved out due to the hostility she faced. However, a campus police report concluded it ‘could not establish probable cause’ after a witness contradicted Hussein’s account.
This is just the latest in a long, long line of claimed incidents of “Islamophobia” that turned out to be fake.
Nevertheless, now we have this initiative under the guise of an effort to counter vigilante attacks against moslems.
And, doubt not, what this will lead to will be that those who support Israel or criticize the jihad ideology will be liable to be considered enemies of the state.
The Barrackamala Regime will no more be a friend of the freedom of speech, than Obama has ever been. Pressure will be placed on social media giants to silence dissidents.
Emhoff revealed happily:
The first deliverable, in May of 2023, was the first-ever national strategy to counter antisemitism. We are now getting into year two with additional actions. There will be an Islamophobia plan coming out soon as well, and making sure we are fighting hate wherever it exists.
