Wolfophobia

A friend related a political cartoon image she saw recently. A pack of wolves, snarling and hunched for attack are approaching a small lamb with the clear intent to devour it. The caption at the bottom of the cartoon had a single word: "Wolfophobia."

A few days ago residents of a neighbood just outside Smith College—a bastion of leftist thought and a hotbed of anti-Israel rhetoric—reported that Mezuzahs (Jewish prayer scrolls about 4 inches long) on the front door frames of Jewish homes were stolen and swaztikas were painted in other neighborhood locations. The president of Smith College, reacting to the incident, said that the college must re-double its efforts to fight Islamophobia.

A few months ago, leftists dropped their masks and allow their anti-Israel feelings to morph into overt anti-Semitism. When even our biased media began to express a small amount of concern, the Biden administration decided to act. They created “a National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia” task force. The President’s press secretary intoned:

“For too long, Muslims in America, and those perceived to be Muslim, such as Arabs and Sikhs, have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks and other discriminatory incidents Moving forward, the President, Vice President, and our entire Administration will continue working to ensure every American has the freedom to live their lives in safety and without fear for how they pray, what they believe, and who they are.”

You can’t make this stuff up. A “national strategy” to combat Islamophobia is instituted not when there are overt expressions of hatred for Muslims, but when leftist protestors and Muslim activists are on the national news every night shouting anti-Semitic slogans on college campuses and in big cities across the country.

In my new Book, Normalizing Insanity (soon to be released on Amazon), I write:

Mainstream Islam (and their millions of non-Muslim sympathizers) take the position that an Islamist death cult, Hamas, is an anomaly. They argue that Islam is "the religion of peace," and it bears no culpability for the actions of a “few” psychopaths. 

But it seems as if Islam keeps generating these death cults—al Qaeda, the Taliban, Boco Haram, ISIS, the Houthis—to name just a few. More than a few of the Islam’s religious leaders are Islamists who preach Jew-hatred to tens of millions of adherents around the world. Others have threatened and attacked Christians. Many Arab Muslim countries have ejected the Jews who once lived there. They are now proudly Judenrein and still have the gall to suggest that Israel is an "apartheid" state. 

And somehow, the West is the guilty party in all of this? When it defends itself or retaliates against Islamist psychopaths [or asks inconvenient questions about mainstream Islam's actual intent], it's somehow at fault?  Islam—one of the largest demographic groups on the planet—is the "victim," and Islamophobia (today, as in 2001) is a major issue that we need to worry about? WTAF! 

The wolves smile.
