The Real Meaning of Islamophobia

Just one day after my article on the Islamophobia of Western Leaders, a report was published in the UK detailing in horrific detail the extent of activities of muslim grooming gangs and the complicity of UK authorities. In 218 pages, the report provides testimony from witnesses and details on not only the failures of authorities, but also how many were complicit in the rape and abuse of young girls across the whole of the UK.

Political correctness and leader's fears of being called racist or Islamophobic has led to widespread dismissal of reports

In a nation of just over 65 million, over 250,000 girls were, over a period of years, victims of muslim grooming gangs, largely Pakistani. Explicit links to Islam are laid out in the report, including how the teachings of Islam are used to justify and support the activities, and how both Islamic leaders and the UK justice system have collaborated and cooperated in support of these activities.

Political correctness and leader's fears of being called racist or Islamophobic has led to widespread dismissal of reports of such activities and even to blaming victims as being voluntary participants. The very term—Islamophobia—has had its meaning deliberately changed from a rational fear of the real danger of Islam to mean an irrational fear of an imagined threat. The term racism has been expanded to encompass objections to Islam, even though Islamists are not a race, and Islam is practiced by millions of brown, black, red, yellow and even white peoples worldwide. Islam is not a race. It is a malignant ideology.

Although the report is specifically directed to conditions in the UK, the activities described are practiced wherever Islam holds sway, including throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. America has hundreds of thousands of minor immigrants that remain unaccounted, many of whom have likely been directed into similar circumstances. Reports from rescued minors bear testimony to extensive activities, conveniently given the mild label of pedophilia to disguise the severity.

For those who have the stomach for it, the report is worth reading. Besides detailing the events in the UK, it describes the types of activities and justifications that are being used worldwide to establish and sustain similar circumstances. It details how accusations of racism and Islamophobia are used, primarily against whites, to discourage and dissuade official recognition of the problem.

Sikh and Hindu communities have not had the problems of political correctness that exist in white cultures, and have been working to address the problems. Western media has worked hard to make sure that any recognition of the issue is dismissed as fringe, or just far right propaganda to be ignored. Millions of victims and parents worldwide would disagree. It is probably just as well that the UK and most of Europe has outlawed and confiscated personal weapons.

The original meaning of the term Islamophobia was that of recognition of a real danger resulting in justifiable fear verging on panic. It is time to restore that meaning.
