I don't know how many politicians tweeted out messages yesterday lecturing about "Islamophobia," but at least in New York, it was all the usual suspects. 

March 15th is, apparently, the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, and thus, we were treated to politicians virtue signaling about how much they love our Muslim neighbors. 

Today, on International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we stand with Muslim New Yorkers and reaffirm our commitment to confronting Islamophobic hate in all its forms.⁰New York’s strength comes from its diversity.

Today, on International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we stand with Muslim New Yorkers and reaffirm our commitment to confronting Islamophobic hate in all its forms.
New York’s strength comes from its diversity. 

Our city must be a place where Muslim communities can live, worship, and thrive with dignity, safety, and a true sense of belonging.

Now I admit that it would be wrong to assume that every Muslim is a hateful terrorist, but I am also not stupid enough to believe that Muslims in America, as a group, are as benign an immigrant group as the Irish, the Japanese, the Cuban, or the Canadians who are fleeing oppression in the Great White North. 

Mayor Mamdani, once you said you were ready to arrest those who commit terror.

Well, here is the reality. Right now we have individuals openly praising terrorist organizations such as IRGC, Hamas, and Hezbollah, groups recognized as terrorists by the United States, Europe, and… pic.twitter.com/BtYwSIBgtO

So far, in the past two weeks, we have suffered through four Islamist terrorist attacks, and far more lectures from Muslim extremists about how they want "Death to America."

Muslims, as individuals, may be perfectly good neighbors and productive members of society, but when they congregate in any significant numbers they prove to be poisonous additions to our society. 

On this International Day to Combat Islamophobia, and at a time when fear and division are rising in many places, New York stands firm:

Hate has no home here.

Muslim New Yorkers strengthen our communities every day, and we will always stand together against Islamophobia.

That's not exactly a secret. Literally everybody knows it, not just from occasional terrorist attacks, but from Muslims themselves. It's not like they make a secret of hating us and wanting to replace our civil law with Sharia law. 

People experience a cognitive dissonance when they see footage like this.

They can't reconcile the murderous intentions laid out in the subtitles with the American-accented English they're hearing in a typical American setting with cute kids running in front of pickup trucks,… https://t.co/dOTAEtU1m8

Muslims are not reacting to some massive plot to oppress them in the United States. After 9/11, Muslim immigration skyrocketed, and Muslims were welcomed into America and the West at unprecedented rates.

"I am 100% certain that Sharia will be implemented in America and in Britain one day"

Imam: We are obliged as Muslims to take the authority away from the people who have it. Inevitably this will happen. This is the promise of God.

Why don't we take them seriously?? pic.twitter.com/cuQb5GZKEY

Our leaders wanted to prove that Islam is a "religion of peace," and the result has been rape gangs, ISIS recruitment, and Imams laughing at us about our naivety. 

Crazy what has happened to NYC. Imagine if people were yelling "we support Al-Qaeda here" after 9/11.

This is the same thing. Hezbollah & Hamas are foreign terrorist organizations that have both killed Americans.

In America, you have the freedom to say you support terrorists. https://t.co/A3ajuzGbBt

The Mayor of New York's wife has proven time and again her disgust with Jews, and the reaction from the elite has been a shrug and a claim that she is a "private citizen." 

The fact that the majority of New York City politicians are more concerned about bike lanes than people screaming about martyrdom in Times Square is very concerning. https://t.co/AWjwhAiDcc

The entire left-wing establishment has embraced Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime, and is currently rooting for America to lose a war against Iran. They shrug when Islamists cry "Death to Jews," but cry "racism" when people object, calling us "Islamophobic."

Britain, at some point you're going to have to decide if you want to do something about this or continue to pretend it isn't happening until there's nothing left to do. https://t.co/bxrrMXvAyx

Westerners are committing civilizational suicide for no other reason than a determination to prove that we are not hateful people.

Muslims exude hatred and contempt for a civilization that insanely welcomed them in, and when anybody has the moral courage to stand up and tell the truth, we are attacked with a ferocity that comes from an elite who are afraid of the very people they are defending. 

This is bewildering

This is a Monty Python sketch that Graham Chapman
and I wrote for " The Meaning of Life '

It never made it into the film as the others Pythons voted against it

It is not a phobia to avoid people determined to kill you. After the terrorist attack in New York City, a liberal bragged that he was unafraid and walked right up to an IED to prove how tolerant and inclusive he was. "I am not afraid of IEDs!"

That is suicidal. Luckily, the bomb didn't go off. 

"We Muslims don’t have the courage to actually do what Muhammad did, so instead we cheat and lie.
They can feel we’re lying when we tell them “Islam is peace”.
Why are we so afraid to say the truth?
They can just open the Quran and see the war verses we keep trying to hide…" pic.twitter.com/2zBo9GCl5d

New York City residents are now waking up to the sounds of the Islamic call to prayer, and the Mayor is holding parties for Muslim "influencers" who despise New Yorkers. 

New York City is being taken over by wannabe jihadists. This is a vigil for Ayatollah Khamenei. The man running this vigil is wearing a Sinwar shirt, architect of October 7th.

Islamic scholar in California, Uthman Farooq, has a message to Americans:

“No one can stop Islam in America. This is NOT your country, this is OUR country. This is the land of Allah. If you want to live in a place with no Muslims, I suggest you go to hell.” pic.twitter.com/QySJtsImb1

Where are the calls for Muslims to be loyal Americans? Catholics were singled out by the Biden administration as potential terrorists because they oppose alphabet ideology and abortion, but people shouting "Death to America" are warmly embraced. 

Imam Abdul Malik based in Minnesota:

“Americans are right to be scared that Muslims are here to replace them. We are the new kids on the block, this is our moment. They should be scared.”

Americans should never be scared.

I'm tired of all this. It is insane. Yet here we are.
