Bush is named Public Islamophobe #1
Pravda (RU) ^ | 26 June 2004 | Vasily Bubnov

Posted on 06/26/2004 7:21:22 PM PDT by MegaSilver

British non-government organization "Islamic Human Rights Commission" named the three biggest Islamophobes of 2004.

It is easy to guess who were the first two politicians named on the list: US President George Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Bush became the "Islamophobe of the year" for the overall war against terrorism and the military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq in particular (Iraqi war became the crusade against Islam, the Commission believes). Sharon was "awarded" the title for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The Head of Israeli government shared the "success" in the nomination of "the most Islamophobic politician" with French President Jacques Chirac who promoted the bill on the ban for wearing religious attributes in state schools. Not only French Moslems, but also their coreligionists all over the world opposed this bill.

According to the Islamic Human Rights Commission, many people can be called Islamophobes, and there is no sign that the situation will change for the better next year. IHRC Chair Massoud Shadjareh said that "demonizing" Moslems can be compared with the persecution of Jews on the eve of the World War II.

Massoud Shadjareh called the "Islamophobia Awards" a comedy event aimed at highlighting prevailing prejudices and subverting them using humor. However, the Head of the Commission on Racial Tolerance funded by British government Trevor Phillips named the "Islamophobia Awards" the important step in fighting discrimination of Moslems.

We have to think. In the last 2-3 years the public opinion in Western Europe, USA and Russia started linking the idea of "terrorism" and Islam. Of course, nobody says publicly that all Moslems are potential terrorists, but this idea can be traced in the press articles and the statements of experts saying that radical Islamic groups pose the biggest threat nowadays. Getting rid of the formed stereotype can be hard.

The Islamic world also has stereotypes about the West. The biggest one is that the USA and its allies started the Crusade against Moslems, they do not undersand Islamic traditions and do not want to understand them and made destroying Islam their goal. The majority of Moslems have this opinion, and not all of them support bin Laden.

"Islamophobia Awards" is one more step increasing the anti-Western outlook of Moslems.

"Islamic Human Rights..."

Oxymoron.

Bush became the "Islamophobe of the year" for the overall war against terrorism and the military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq in particular (Iraqi war became the crusade against Islam, the Commission believes).

One can only wish this were true. Enough with declaring war on a method; declare it against our enemy. If Bush is getting blamed for it, he might as well just go ahead and do it.

Radical Muslims do not believe in Human Rights. They believe in human rights for male muslims, existence rights for muslim women (only if they serve a useful purpose and don't embarrass the men), and extinction for all other humans.

Hmm, Pravda printing this might just be part of Putin's efforts to make nice with Bush again.

It's not like "Islamophobia" is exactly unpopular in Russia nowadays...

They were actually gonna give the title to me originally.
But I told them that there is a profound difference between a phobia of islamunism....and wanting to nuke their sorry terrorist butts off the face of the earth.

Its time to turn Syria and Iran into glass parking lots.

"According to the Islamic Human Rights Commission, many people can be called Islamophobes"

That's right. And some of them work in a factory making MOABs.

Is a Moslem anything like a Muslim?

Yawn. Putting Bush and Chirac in the same cateogory on near anything, is hilariously stupid. But then the whole thing is ludicrous, from soup to nuts.

As PC as Bush is, this is just a joke. That sector of the gene pool needs some chlorine, and Bush just won't publicly admit it.

These ingrates should be kissing his butt!

President Bush doesn't deserve the title of Islamophobe # 1-he still refers to this religion of lunatic's as a religion of peace.

There are no Islamophobes on earth-the zaney bastards are more despised than feared.

This is no surprise.
Muslims and the rest of the Arab world are more concerned about who humiliates them (Jews, Americans and Western culture in general for making them look inferior) than they are about who actually oppresses and kills the most of them.

They are pathetic.

These people are just plain dumb. It's Bush that has referred to Islam as a "religion of peace" against all evidence to the contrary. Bush is one of the few restraints to snuffing out Islam...they should praise him.

I'm not sure I qualify as an Islamophobe, I'm mostly phobic about head-chopping, meat-grinders, teenage-dynamiting, daughter-maiming, and flat-earth mass murderers, but in the absense of a special category of phobia for those, I'll settle for islamophobia.

B.S.

If President Bush were the number one Islamophobe he wouldn't keep insisting that they are "the religion of peace". Unless he is "afraid" that muslims would attack if he told the truth about Islam...
