It’s fine to import large numbers of Islamic terrorists into Western nations, but what’s really dangerous is calling them Islamic terrorists because… that could fuel Islamophobia. And everyone knows Islamophobia is much deadlier than Islamic terrorism.
After Muslim terrorists killed 15 people at a Chanukah party in Australia, the media insists we must not mention the “I” word.
“To describe terrorism as ‘religiously motivated’ implies the religion itself authorises or drives the violence,” an editorial complains, while falsely claiming that terrorism violates the “fundamental laws of religions such as Islam”.
The op-ed then absurdly claims that “the Qurʾān allows fighting only under strictly limited conditions: in self-defence to repel aggression and oppression, and in response to treaty violation that threatens peace and security.”
If this were true, Islam would be limited to a small area in Saudi Arabia rather than controlling the entire region, apart from Israel, along with sizable parts of Africa and Asia. And before long Europe.
