Here we go. After every murderous Islamic attack comes the second attack — in the information battle-space. The bodies are not yet buried, and we are being warned and admonished for opposition to jihad. Whack and whine. Kill and cry. Why aren’t Muslims “scared” of the Quranic text and teachings that command this violent supremacist slaughter? What are Muslims doing to defeat jihad?
“Anti-Islam backlash” is a rational response to Islamic terror.
In the wake of jihad slaughter, why do Muslims attack the victims and intended target of jihad? Why don’t Muslims self-reflect and call for the purge of the violent texts and teachings in the Quran and Hadith?

And the media’s complicity in advancing this specious narrative is appalling and destructive. Aiding and abetting.
Muslims fear anti-Islam backlash in tolerant Barcelona
Daniel Bosque, AFP, August 19, 2017:
Barcelona (AFP) – Prayer time is approaching but Raja Miah, an imam at a tiny mosque in the heart of Barcelona does not expect a big turnout.
Since the twin attacks in Barcelona and the nearby seaside resort of Cambrils claimed by the Islamic State group, the Muslim community in central Barcelona’s neighbourhood of Raval fears an anti-Islam backlash.
“People are very scared,” said Miah, 23, as he sat in a small room at the mosque in Raval as a small group of children in an adjoining room studied the Koran.
Raval — whose name derives from the Arabic word for neighbourhood — is located just west of Barcelona’s bustling Las Ramblas boulevard where a van ploughed into pedestrians on Thursday, killing 13 and injuring dozens of others. Just hours later, another person died in a similar attack in the holiday town of Cambrils, where police shot five suspects dead.
“There is a lot of fear, people don’t go out. Very few people come to pray. Normally we are about 40 people, last night we weren’t even 15 and this morning 10,” said Miah, who moved to Barcelona nine years ago from Bangladesh.
Spain’s Muslim community has until now been spared from the islamophobia that has swept parts of Europe.
Far-right parties remain barely visible and just four percent of Spaniards consider immigration to be a problem, according to a survey by the government’s Centre for Sociological Research (CIS).
But the string of attacks in Europe, claimed by the so-called Islamic State group, has sparked a rise in hate incidents.
The number of recorded cases jumped from just 48 in 2014 to 534 in 2015, according to a campaign group, the Citizens’ Platform Against Islamophobia.
And Muslims fear it will get worse following the twin attacks.
– ‘You feel bad’ –
The narrow and normally noisy streets of Raval were silent on Saturday morning.
Immigrants account for roughly half of the densely-populated neighbourhood’s population, with a huge number of people from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Morocco.
“(The) Spaniards treat us well, they help us, they make us feel at home,” said Raja.
But just minutes after the attack in Barcelona, he said he could feel that something was changing. When he fled the Ramblas area in the wake of the attacks he was stopped by police.
“It’s normal, they saw me with my beard and robe and they stopped me. But you feel bad,” he said.
“We fear that the same will happen here as in France, Britain or other places” where far-right parties have grown strongly in recent years, said Islam Zahid, 22, who runs a small supermarket in back streets of Raval. Children could be heard playing football in the background.
About 100 members of Barcelona’s Muslim community, many of them tearful, gathered on Las Ramblas on Saturday to demonstrate against the twin attacks in Spain.
“They are not Muslims, they are terrorists” and “Islam is peace,” they shouted.
– ‘Barbarians’ –
Marzouk Rouj, a 39-year-old Moroccan construction worker who went to the demonstration with his daughter, said the bloodshed left him “shattered”.
“I have lived more years here than in my (own) country. My children go to school here and I don’t want people to look at them negatively because of some barbarians,” said Rouj, who moved to Spain from Nador in northern Morocco when he was just 16.
Several Muslims left flowers at an impromptu shrine on Las Ramblas.
“In the end Muslims are the main victims, for the deaths as well as for the social pressure,” said Xantal Genovart, vice president of the Association of Catalan Muslim women.
Catalonia is home to about a quarter of Spain’s 1.9 million Muslims — and it is also a centre of jihadism, according to experts.
Even so, Mounir Benjelloun, president of the Spanish Federation of Islamic Religious Entities, remains optimistic.
“I think that Spain will know how to handle this and will separate the culprits from the rest so a xenophobic message does not prosper,” he said.
The initial signs are encouraging. A small group of anti-Islam protesters who turned up at Las Ramblas on Friday were forced to leave after passers-by began to shout “No racists” at them.

Rightly so, muslims cannot expect that they are not going to receive some backlash from the victims and society that islam has chosen to violently target with senseless violence. Murder of innocents for no reason other than they are not muslims. May the back lash be furious, more violent than the terrorist acts that provoked it, and long lasting.

“Muslims are the main victims”- BTW they’re taught that all the way through the Quran- it’s used as justification for the perpetual violence Muslims give to the rest of the world. Talk to Maronites in lebanaon about what it’s like to live with Muslims. Everything you do is a slight to Islam and must be answered with violence. You look at their women- you don’t acknowledge their women- and so it goes. They respect only one thing- incredible violence with enormous destruction to themselves. Funny then they stop- for awhile.

True, Terrorizing the Terrorists does WORK! On a different subject, Somali Pirates….seems that some Somali Pirates were captured by the Russians….uncomfirmed stories state they were put back on their small boats and allowed to sail away….before they and their boats were used for TARGET practice! Strange, but the incidence of pirates has greatly diminished in that area!

I have lived more years here than in my (own) country. My children go to school here and I don’t want people to look at them negatively because of some barbarians,” said Rouj, who moved to Spain from … Morocco when he was just 16.
But, Rouj, these “barbarians”- Pamela is criticized for calling them “savages”- slaughter in the name of your shared ideology (I think you call it “religion”). After all, your most sacred text says to “kill the polytheist wherever you find them” (Sura 9.5), and those you refer to as “barbarians” are simply following the command of that text.
How can you convince those “barbarians” of your faith that they are wrong?

They don’t feel shame for the violence their co-religionists have brought on?
A couple of my friends are Hispanic and Sikh.
When there is a story of violence or terrorism, my Hispanic friend says , “I hope it isn’t a Mexican who did it’, and likewise for my Sikh friend.

Shame, in reality the Liberal wimps in charge will provide NO backlash for them, instead they will UP the yearly immigration quotas for Muslims! Our Planet is doomed if we don’t either elect responsible Government which will curtail Moslem immigration or if NON Governmental Anti Terrorism groups aren’t secretly started!

Agree. After the Latest Jihadi attacks Most Pro-Islam Left/liberal Leaders would not even talk about “Islamic terrorist” http://bit.ly/2idyQrO
Because they are deliberately covering up and only way to fight back is to speak the truth and call out these Leaders as Islamonazi jihadi apologist/enablers.
And vote them out ..or suffer more jihadi attacks.

In the UK, Islamic terror attacks are just called terror attacks. The media also use the expression `non terror attack` as if any other form of murder or physical abuse is not terrifying!! In Islamic terror attacks, the only reference to Islam is the expression “so called Islamic state” This placates our media making any direct reference to Islam or the Muslim killers.
Yet when a member of the right commits 1 potential murder, the media name groups or individuals as white supremacists or neo nazis calling anyone who supports them evil and be prosecuted for simply having a different view to the left. Most right wing groups have been recently formed or resurrected as a result of the rise in left wing extremism under the guise of supposed victimization.
The World is in big trouble.

And so there should be. Western culture agonizes over what could be the motive of these terrorists, are they crazy, why do they hate us and what can be done to stop them, flowers, teddy bears ,bollards, candles, halal chicken? The single answer to all of these questions is……no muslims (if it is not already too late).

MUSLIMS FEAR ANTI-ISLAM BACKLASH: WTF WTF WTF?
This type of outlandish comment comes out every time one of these atrocities happens.
Where are the Muslim leaders condemning these attacks? Sitting pretty in their mosques knowing full well that what is happening is Allah’s will and the take over of Europe is well under way.
The so called leaders of western Europe or what is left of it are nothing but culpable for the invasion and destruction that is now being inflicted on their citizens. From that fat pig Merkel to the tooth fairy in France they have set Europe ablaze with their appeasement of all things Islamic and their distaste for all things European. These types of atrocities will grow in both size and nature until somebody stands up and fights back. The days of turning your back and hoping it will go away are now gone.

yes, many don’t know that there are blond muslims with blue eyes in Bosnia-Herzegovina, (in former Yugoslavia) Albania and Chechnya (Caucasus, Russian Federation.)
Although these people yelling “no to racism” and other stupid remarks were Spaniards, it is sad that ignorant is rampant in the USA (no country however has a monopoly of shmucks.) Just watch one of Paul Joseph Watson’s video clips with the title “Incredibly stupid people,” you won’t believe your eyes and ears!
Also Pat Condell’s video clips are excellent although more than one of his video messages has disappointed me…

A Spanish Roman Catholic priest was once attacked by two muslim thugs who after hitting him said, “now obey your Jesus’ law and turn the other cheek.”
He did and one of them gave him another punch in the face, to which the priest, an expert in martial arts like judo, karate and tae-kwon-do responded, “I have obeyed Jesus’ law, now is time to apply MINE!”
The priest beat the crap out of them, one of the Moroccans lost more than three teeth.
If this had happened in Sweden, Germany, Holland or Canada, the police would have arrested the priest and brought before magistrates accused of “islamophobia…”
And indeed, what a coward, ONE against THREE!

The fake prophet was the instigator of so called victimization in around 612 AD. He and his few followers were ridiculed about his supposed vision and the creation of Islam. He claimed he was victimized and should be allowed to preach his new found faith. He appeared little threat and was consequently allowed to practice. As his following grew his methods of silencing those who criticized him became more sinister. 1400 years later its still happening. As Muslim populations increase so do the demands for more Islam. The growth of Islamic populations in non Islamic democratic countries is the ultimate threat. They will use democracy to destroy democracy. Its the same plan now used by the fascist left.

A lady in Amsterdam was walking her dog some time ago. A Moroccan intended to sexually assault her and her dog defended her biting the man.. Some people saw the incident and called the police and…
who got a heavy fine and who walked free? You don’t have to be an Einstein to guess the right answer.

Oh dear so the poor old mussies get upset and fearful after every jihadi attack.. Well there are so many of them going on in Europe now, their nerves must be absolutely shredded.. Here’s the cure for their fears.. Go back to whatever Islamic shithole they came from.. Even if they are born in Europe, they identify as a muslim first and foremost.. So they really should be better off back in their islamic paradises

The media does more than half of the Muslims work. They go running around trying desperately to find a good Muslim pet they can put on the cameras. Then it’s just a matter of doing the usual job:
* Has nothing to do with Islam
* Good boy with bad companies
* Had no opportunities, loads of “Islamophobia” (they then take up a lot of interview time to explain what this is), doesn’t get everything handed on a plate, like all filthy rich kuffars should serve their poor muslim masters.
* Concluding to the usual “It’s the natives fault”.
* All agree, make heart shape signs and pray for his soul.

I have heard this before, I don’t buy it. Some groups are privileged, or so it seems to me. We who are being admonished, week in, week out are NOT the ones guilty for any carnage in any number of countries on this great lovely planet. The AG admonished citizens right after the Bernardino massacre. Just once, one time I would like to see, and read about people feeling kinship, feeling sorry, pitying the citizens of countries dealing with these massacres, because these mass murders of innocent men, women, children does change people. What about the victims’ families? What about the victims’ communities? What about everybody else in the world having to process this violence on a weekly to daily basis?

They fear nothing. The don’t have too. Their mindset and ideology, in general, for some, or, for who knows how many, is different from the mindset of the West. The people of the west are not like their immediate ancestors, those of a couple hundred years ago, those of the WW eras. The pendulum swung the other way; changes ushered in by the so called progressives, made this group soft, anxious, guilty, and a number of other worrisome traits. The Muslim people do not have to contend with any such situation. They will not allow it. They highly resist being made docile, or soft, or modern.
To understand a culture, a people, or anything in the world, one must read about it, and read aplenty.
