Badge of honor: “Islamophobia’s Dirty Dozen”

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 9, 2008 06:33 PM

The terror apologists at FAIR (fellow travelers with CAIR) have published a report on “smearcasters” whom they have dubbed “Islamophobia’s Dirty Dozen.”

Yes, I made the list — along with many other outspoken critics whom I’ve learned much from and greatly admire. I consider it a badge of honor. Here’s one of my quotes on this blog that FAIR singled out as hateful:

I stopped using the terms “Islamic fascist” and “Islamofascism” a while ago…because they obscure rather than clarify. The views held by the Muslim jihadis who want to destroy us are not marginal views held only by a minority of “Islamic fascists.”

They conveniently omit the link to the blog post where that quote came from, but you can find it right here. Let me reproduce the graphs from that post that back up my statement:

    michelle, now I know I am for sure in the right company. I have security by German Shepherd. Should have started that pig farm next door.
    Be careful, stay positive. I know this is supposed to make people afraid but, I know you won’t play their game.
    I picked you for the same reason they did.
    I have always had a special respect for a competent , gutsy girl.

    Ann Coulter must PISSED that she didn’t make the list. I thought her

    “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”

    statement would’ve put her in this top dozen list.

    Way to go Michelle!

    My colleague’s children (western NJ) got Yom Kippur off from school this week, but they don’t get Columbus Day (a federal holiday) off. Where was all the outrage over putting religion over your country then? Or is it only wrong to put religion first if it’s Islam?

    And, FYI, as a PROUD Muslim (and a PROUD American) it’s going to take more than pork jokes to offend us – you just come across as really lame and stupid when you make them. But feel free to try again when you come up with something more original!

    Muslims will NEVER be Americans.

    A Muslim saying they put their “faith” first means they must kill their fellow man if he doesn’t submit to their ideas.

    Anti-Islam! Because Islam is anti human decency.

    You give conservatives a bad name.

    I detest Islam as much as (if not more than) I detest Christianity. But you do take it too far, Ms. Malkin. A girl in my college was wearing a keffiyeh this morning, but I don’t consider her an accomplice to terrorism or a jihadist sympathizer. If I followed your logic, though, I would think those things of her. You need to chill out, is all.

    The point is that a majority of Muslims are actually decent, good people. I know you have your statistcs that certain significant percentages of Muslims support terrorism, but I’m sure I could find statistics that show similiarly significent percentages Christians approving of executing gays and abortion doctors. Or who would support an all-out war on Muslims. Christians are just as bad; you would do well to recognise this.

    Michelle,
    Thank you for being so strong. The supposed “champions of free speech” are always the ones trying to shut down free speech when they don’t agree with what is said. This has never been more true than now. We’re not allowed to criticize Obama or his associations because that’s racist. Someone is being investigated because he dared use Obama’s middle name in a speech. It’s his middle name for heaven’s sake! These leftists try to intimidate anyone with whom they disagree and all of us should be afraid of that.

    CONGRATULATIONS, MICHELLE! That’s quite an honor.

    Islamophobia = a prejudicial fear of Muslims

    Islamic terrorism = violent acts performed in the name of Islam designed to incite fear in large groups of people

    With the widespread threat of Islamic terrorism, Islamophobia sounds fairly rational to some. However, I’d like to join FAIR and CAIR in the fight to end Islamophobia.

    Certainly, we can agree that the real enemy here isn’t those who become fearful at the mere presence or mention of someone of the Islamic faith, but rather the individuals who have caused this fear by flying airplanes into skyscrapers, attacking our troops, and blowing themselves up in crowded markets and discotheques.

    Let’s turn our fear into anger and focus it on those who (a) seek to commit acts of Islamic terrorism, and (b) refuse to publicly condemn such acts.

    We hear about how these are marginal beliefs – that real Muslims are participants in a “religion of peace.” Certainly, advocates of a religion of peace will not mince their words when it comes to terrorism in the name of their religion.

    I’m anxious to hear from them.

    Thank you for post #19. Wow! Stunning and brilliant thoughts from Winston Churchill. Perhaps Mr. Churchill was the original inspiration for the Smearcasters list. Rarely do I read Churchill and not come away with a renewed appreciation for his insight, intellect and command of the Queen’s language. My day has been made.

    By the way, those little charts don’t do a damn thing to prove that all, or the majority of, Muslims support terrorism. Being misguided as to the cause of 9/11 doesn’t mean you support 9/11.

    This is extremely depressing to see spoken aloud. My only solace is this year’s election cycle proving that this kind of unhinged racism has been so marginalized. I deplore John McCain as a candidate, but it’s good to see that the right chose the most moderate and least hateful candidate they had in the primaries.

    It is the followers of islam that think God needs the help of man… respectfully, Sir I suguest that the Lord needs not the help of man, not with the sword, nor with lies, nor with car bombs.

    No, your point repeatedly has been that country should come first, before God. Then you misquote the Bible, attempting to support your point.

    And now you are blatantly mischaracterizing what I’ve said. Nothing I have said suggests that I think God needs help. You need help admitting when you’re wrong, and not misquoting/mischaracterizing other people’s words to cover up your own mistakes.

Islam (aka the religion of pieces) is the only religion that I am aware of that has a holy book that orders its followers to kill non-believers “whereever they are”. The Kill-ran suborns murder, plain and simple. Muslims that dont follow its edict chose not to follow it; but this does not change the FACT that this book orders followers to kill non-Muslims. Sick, sicker, sickest…

    I would be curious to see some kind of data on that. Do you really believe that to be the case?

    I’m no christian, but the bible has such laudible goals as “love thy neighbor as thyself” and “thou shalt not kill.”

    Muslims, on the other hand, are commanded over 120 times in the koran to “kill the infidel, wherever he may be”, and that its ok to lie, cheat, and swindle infidels.

    Of course, liberals dont see a difference between these 2 ideologies.

    Dismissed.
