Islamophobiaphobia: Fear of having fear of those practicing Islam

Like any movement, a religion is what it does, not what it says it means or claims to represent. Through murder and mayhem, rather than wit and wisdom, Muslims demonstrate their intolerance of modern, secular, and non-Muslim beliefs.

They demonstrate their unfitness to live in peaceful society.

“Moderates” assure us that all Muslims are not crazyeyedbarbarian murdering-in-the-name-of-Allah jihad scum. No, the vast majority, they claim, are really into peace and tolerance, as is written in the Koran.

It’s like living in Berkeley, except with burqas.

Don’t mind subsequent verses that abrogate those pretty sentiments with admonitions and incitements to kill infidels – you just don’t know your Koran! (Infidel)

This is when the old adage “Fool me once…” is best repeated.

Moderate Muslims distance themselves from their terrorist brethren through one or more of the following methods:

  • Remaining silent and keeping a low profile (This group appears to be shrinking);
  • Attributing barbaric actions to “third world fanaticism” and “anti-Western sentiment” masquerading under the banner of Islam (“Islam is not the enemy!”);
  • Asserting that the “Bedouin” (read: desert hillbilly) elements of modern Arabs are responsible for the terror (You have to get a chuckle out of Muslim elitism);
  • Bringing up the Christian Crusades (Although Muhammad crusaded first);
  • Noting that much of the Muslim world is "fragmented", lives in poverty, and, therefore, subject to the rages of uncontrollable and radical factions (Unlike Christians, I guess, who are all united under a single religious authority and live in splendor);
  • Claiming that Western governments, like the United States, are actually BIGGER terrorists (NO! You are! Nuh uh, YOU are!);
  • Secretly providing Muslim terrorists with weapons, funding, and training camps (Seems to work for some – at least, for a while).

Moderate Muslims cannot sit back and preach peace and tolerance, while their “radical” brethren slaughter Jews, Christians, Hindus, and, apparently, any and all others who oppose a theocratic-totalitarian word order.

But, this is exactly what “moderate” Muslims have been doing for decades, while branding their critics “Islamophobes”. Their tactics appeared to be working; then, Denmark.

The World Trade Center wasn't enough. It took a handful of cartoons published in a Danish newspaper to reveal their duplicity.

Take note, Muslims: You are your brother's keeper, and your brother's evil and criminal actions do represent you and your religion. In fact, he's defining – and has for many already defined – Islam.

And, now, my Muhammad cartoon: .

(You’ll have to BLOW THIS UP to see it.)
