What we really need to reject is Islamophobia-phobia
NY Post ^

Posted on 06/14/2016 5:35:44 PM PDT by Cubs Fan

A dangerous mindset has taken hold in America, but it isn’t Islamophobia. It’s Islamophobia-phobia.

In a large and growing segment of American society, fear of being tagged “racist” about Muslims (though Islam is not a race) provides a much more direct threat to your livelihood than radical Islam

Former police officer Daniel Gilroy told Florida Today that he repeatedly raised red flags about Omar Mateen when both men worked at the same security firm, but his employer did nothing because Mateen was a Muslim.

The pattern is familiar. Before the Islamist attack that left 14 dead in San Bernardino last December, neighbor Aaron Elswick told ABC 7 News in Los Angeles that shooter Syed Farook was “kind of suspicious” and Elswick “wanted to report it” but “didn’t want to profile” him.

Before Army Maj. Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, “He made his views known, and he was very vocal, he had extremely radical jihadist views,” Lt. Col. Val Finnell told FoxNews.com.

Finnell took health-services classes with Hasan, who said, “I’m a Muslim first, and I hold the Shariah, the Islamic Law, before the United States Constitution,” according to Finnell.

That statement alone disqualified Hasan from military service. No one did anything, Finnell added, because “they were too concerned about being politically correct.”

It's time to stop letting the liberal brownshirts instill fear in people to shut them up.

Political correctness kills.

I just saw a clip of Conan using the words demented and senseless, blah blah.

The nazis weren’t demented??!!

Did it make a difference?

The holocaust made sense?

No, but it still had to end!

They still had to die.

We didn’t look deep into their dementia and senselessness for their atrocities.

Because it is a WASTE OF ####ING TIME!

I have nothing to add... I just wanted to repeat what you said because it is worth saying everyday.

It's time to stop letting the liberal brownshirts instill fear in people to shut them up.

Political correctness kills.

OK... and again

It's time to stop letting the liberal brownshirts instill fear in people to shut them up.

When you are too near a rattlesnake, everyone expects you to take action of some kind. Even if it isn’t rattling yet.

MAJOR HASSAN

THIS is how he whiled away his free time on and off-base; knit skull-cap, sandals, Osama dress.

NO QUESTIONS..?

And IN UNIFORM, he gave lectures ON BASE to UNIFORMED OFFICERS, extolling the actual merits of JIHAD:

NO QUESTIONS.

He literally had to SCREAM ALLAH AKBAR AND OPEN FIRE before he finally got the attention of the leadership.

THOSE are the ever-vigilant people protecting our country.

If you walked into this convenience store, would it enter your mind in 100 YEARS that this guy was a US Army officer..????

fear of being tagged “racist” - Full Stop

That is more accurate Muslim or not. Much of America, whites in general, are paralyzed with fear of this word. It makes people irrational and run around in circles.

Stay armed. Keep your head on a swivel.

We are at war, and the war has been brought here.

Double up your mags. Don’t think it can’t happen here.

Islamophobia is being afraid to call Islamists out as the killers they are.

If the current crop of “leaders” were “leading” during WW2, there is no doubt in my mind they would have surrendered.

More like, not in a million years. I thought I heard where some airport employee noticed one or more of the 9/11 hijackers acting strangely, before boarding the aircraft, but didn't bother to say anything, for fear of being called a racist. PC kills.

I have had no ‘phobias’ about mohammedans, since I witnessed them blowing up the coffee shop in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1972, nor their killing spree in Munich at the Olympics that year.

For the human race to move forward, they must become extinct.
They have had a good run of 1400 years, but the human race has advanced far beyond their sandlot religion, and does not require to support a belief that overruns the world by sword.

People can call me any name in the book and I’ll get over it. But if you call me a racist I’ll never speak to you again. And that includes some people in my family. Bottom line if you say people who don’t like Obama are racists, you’re calling me a racist.

Calling someone a racist is right up there with being called a child molester.
