Odious Cries of “Islamophobia” “Backlash” and “Fear of Reprisal” in wake of Jihad Hostage Crisis in Sydney, Australia

Odious Cries of “Islamophobia” “Backlash” and “Fear of Reprisal” in wake of Jihad Hostage Crisis in #Sydney, Australia




And so it begins. Again. In the wake of every Islamic attack, instead of the Muslim world reflecting on why so many Muslims are waging jihad and wreaking havoc across the world, charges of “islamophobia” “bigotry” and “racism” (even though Islam is not a race) are being leveled — again.

Here comes the fake hate narrative, while the real hate is coming from the jihadists. If Muslims in the West condemn these attacks by jihadists, where are they teaching against the ideology that gave rise to it?

 Right now, nothing is being done to stop jihad recruiting in US, European, Australian, Canadian, etc. mosques, even as several thousand young Muslims from these countries have gone to wage jihad. If the “moderates” really reject extremism, let them show it by instituting genuine programs to teach against it. Instead, the follow-up to these attacks are cries of “islamophobia.”

The feared”reprisals” never materialize, but that is irrelevant. The distraction is necessary to divert attention away from the motive behind all of these heinous, savage attacks — jihad.

Every horrific jihad attack is accompanied by the predictable, pathetic follow-up attack in the information battle-space. “Backlash-o-phobia” — the irrational fear of a backlash that never happens, but it changes the dialogue. And that’s the point — putting the victims of jihad on the defensive, again.

The mainstream media and law enforcement step and fetch it for Islamic supremacists and their apologists. In reality, the only people spreading Islamophobia are the Muslims who are slaughtering, beheading and violently converting non-Muslims in the cause of Islam.

The thing is — this has been the response by the Muslim world since 9/11. The West never wanted this war. And it’s islamophobic if we defend ourselves and are opposed to jihad. Absurd but true. “Islamophobia” and “backlash” have always been fictions, and were devised as attack mechanisms in the wake of a jihad attack, to deflect and distract from the ideology behind these brutal acts of violence and war.

Reprisals against Muslims ‘likely': expert

Racist attacks targeting Australia’s Muslim community are “quite likely” in response to the unfolding hostage crisis at the Lindt Chocolat Cafe in central Sydney, a terrorism expert says.

Up to 50 people are believed to have been taken hostage at the cafe in Sydney’s Martin Place where an Islamic flag is pressed up against one of the windows.

The siege began about 10am on Monday.

NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione says authorities have moved to a “footing” similar to dealing with a terrorist attack.

Ben Rich, a researcher into political violence at Monash University’s School of Social Sciences, said some Australian Muslims could face reprisal due to the incident.

“I can’t say to what extent it’s going to be, but I’d say it’s quite likely,” Mr Rich told AAP.

He predicted that any violence would probably not be “organised by any particular political party” but was more likely to be “just a group of guys deciding `let’s go do something, let’s go attack someone’.”

He pointed to reprisal attacks against Muslims following recent terror acts in Chechnya and in England, after the killing of British soldier Lee Rigby in 2013.

“This type of thing brings out a lot of latent tensions in people,” Mr Rich added.




The Black Flag of Jihad in the window:

“It’s based around a black flag with white text that supposedly the Prophet Muhammad would carry, including into battle when he was fighting on behalf of the religion,” Dr Gray told Sky News.

“This banner takes different forms. It looks vaguely like the IS flag.

“The one we’re seeing in the window is a little bit different. The IS flag has just the beginning of the Shahada at the top, whereas this one has what looks to me like it could have the full Shahada, the full declaration of faith on the bottom of the flag.

“The text translates to ‘There’s no God except Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.’ This is the first fundamental tenet of Islam. It’s what you say to convert to Islam and at prayer time.

“It’s a standard statement but when it’s used in this context it’s got a more military connotation. There are various groups that use a variety of this flag.
