Islamofobi-fobisk

Ali A Rizvi

The fear of being called Islamophobic once led many prominent Westerners to abandon their own values when they abandoned Salman Rushdie. It led Yale to publish a book about the Danish Muhammad cartoon controversy, but without the cartoons. It led Comedy Central to censor the show South Park on more than one occasion for fear of offending Muslims, even though the show irreverently lambastes virtually every other religion on a regular basis, unhindered.

This epidemic continues today with the new 9/11 museum film, the Brandeis fiasco with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, CAIR's whining over Honor Diaries, the Katy Perry video, and the Maajid Nawaz cartoon tweet controversy -- all within this year -- where too many Westerners are falling on the wrong side.

As I've written before, this is an effective deterrent. This is exactly how terrorism works. This is how perfectly intelligent, well-read writers, commentators, and broadcasters become silenced by the Islamophobia smear fear -- and rationalize themselves into becoming unaware victims of it.

Björn Norström i Avpixlat om 8 åriga ensamkommande flickans död.

Nej, jag menar INTE att etnicitet, religion eller kultur bidrog till barnets tragiska dödsfall. Jag menar däremot att kultur, religion och etnicitet kan ha bidragit till att svenska myndigheter helt vände polisens rapport ryggen på grund av rädsla – rädsla för att på ett korrekt sätt granska ärendet eftersom en sådan granskning direkt skulle leda till anklagelser om rasism och främlingsfientlighet i media. Hur det slutar vet vi alla. Därför kan myndigheterna ha blundat för detta. Denna rädsla som media aktivt har skapat kan alltså ha kostat ett barns liv.
