The 'Islamophobia' Canard: Another Human Shield Tactic

Denunciations of the new epidemic of islamonazi salafism and identity politics in the 'West' have brought predictable whinging from the perpetrators. The whinging is predictable because it is characteristic of the narcissism that has always been at the core of islamism, nazism, and islamonazism (the latter term simply combining the names of two degenerations that developed not just simultaneously, but in direct alliance with and cross-pollination of one another about a century ago). I refer to this monstrosity's penchant for 'projection' - for grotesquely claiming its victims are the ones perpetrating its crimes.

In order to keep clear about - and hence steer clear OF - this sick sophistry, we must keep clear about three things ...

(1) First, Islam isn't a 'race.' Were I an historical materialist or animist expressing distaste for Buddhism or Shamanism, I would not be expressing antipathy toward anyone in respect of ethnicity. The same holds of Islam, in which Malcolm X toward the end of his life found beauty precisely in owing to its multiethnic character. (He was, characteristically, murdered by his former associates for saying so after his experience of the multiethnic Haj.) Crying 'racism' here is (VERY) crude category error.

(2) Second, Islamism isn't Islam. It is a perversion of Islam - a perversion now actively propagated by bestial 'brotherhood,' 'twelver shia,' and other bloodthirsty medieval-revival cults. Disgust at islamism, which no sane person abjures, is no more 'fear' of Islam than disgust at 'Christian [sic] Nationalism' is 'Christophobia,' or disgust with Nazism is 'Teutonophobia.'

(3) Finally third, the denotationless word 'islamophobia' was coined by none other than the aforementioned twelver mullahs themselves, who are still executing homosexuals and female-dress-code-violators in Persia. Its use and propagation, as well as that of the category-erroneous 'racism' claim, is simply another face of the contemptible human shield strategy developed by these creepy finger-wagging old men - disgusting jihadi cowards hiding behind ordinary Muslims and people of color while continuing to dig terror tunnels under other peoples' sovereign boundaries. Their aim is to drag sane, innocent Muslims and people of color into the line of denunciatory fire appropriately leveled at them, in hopes that those calling them out will accordingly be silenced - just as a hostage-taker hopes to avoid law enforcement. Their own evasion of their own just deserts trumps the safety of innocents in their self-absorbed system of degenerate 'values.'

There is no question but that reactionaries - including both trump and the Grand-Mufti-successor salafist neonazis he claims to oppose (while taking Qatari gifts) - trade both upon bigotry and upon bigotry-driven stereotypes.

There is also no question but that among the more islamonazi-associated cretins in this pairing - all of them now trading on ANTISEMITIC and ZIONOPHOBIC 'tropes' - are included most of the highest-profile candidates now endorsed by the DSA, of which I was a most active and enthusiastic member until it was purchased by a 'muslim brotherhood' petrostate that has forced it to drop any mention of the environment or of the Green New Deal that I helped design for it.

Responsible advocacy seeks, finds, and draws the ALL-IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS between universalist political appeals and atavistic 'otherizing' among candidates for office. It doesn't simply 'choose sides,' 'campist' style, and then join IN its chosen side's bigotry and sophistry.
