Finally, after four years of demanding one, the Counterjihad coalition at the OSCE (BPE,ICLA, and Mission Europa) has obtained an official definition of “Islamophobia”, courtesy of the Turkish representative at last week’s meeting in Vienna:
Islamophobia is a contemporary form of racism and xenophobia motivated by unfounded fear, mistrust, and hatred of Muslims and Islam. Islamophobia is also manifested through intolerance, discrimination, unequal treatment, prejudice, stereotyping, hostility, and adverse public discourse. Differentiating from classical racism and xenophobia [sic], Islamophobia is mainly based on stigmatization of a religion and its followers, and as such, Islamophobia is an affront to the human rights and dignity of Muslims.
Several questions come to mind when contemplating this definition:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which brings the following question to mind: Muslims have dignity? Is that before they cut open a dead man’s chest, removes his heart and eats it? Or training children to blow themselves up? Or killing their sisters for dancing in the rain for their family’s honor? Or cutting a soldier’s head off in England? Or gang raping a journalist in Egypt? Or blowing up the world trade center? Or killing Amb. Christopher Stevens in Benghazi? Or throwing people off of buildings to their death? Or stone a woman to depth if she is raped?
Anyone else care to add to this list. How about you, mr. president? Explain to us why you are supporting al Qaeda in Syria. Especially since the UN has stated that they are using weapons of mass destruction to kill people. Or is sarin now dignified? I only ask this because of your Muslim faith.
