As I mentioned in an earlier VIP post this week, I was off both Sunday and Monday, but I can't say I was so distracted by the Oscars that I completely missed the International Day to Combat Islamophobia on the 15th.
There are plenty of people on X who say Islamophobia doesn't exist — there's nothing irrational about fearing a religion that likes to blow things up, particularly Jews, and themselves if it helps accomplish that goal. A man with family ties to Hezbollah in Lebanon just drove his car, packed with fireworks and gasoline, into a synagogue and then started shooting at security. A man who had done time for materially supporting ISIL shot and killed an ROTC instructor. And then there were the two teens who took advantage of an unseasonably warm spring day to drive into Manhattan from Pennsylvania to chuck a couple of IEDs into Jake Lang's anti-Muslim protest.
What are they afraid of in Europe?

Why is that?

The Scottish Sun reports that rapes of girls under 13 have hit a record high, but if you think that has anything to do with the country's new Muslim asylum seekers, you might be an Islamophobe.

All of a sudden, for absolutely no reason, Scottish men have started raping little girls. Its definitely nothing to do with the fact that 20% of the UKs "asylum seekers" have been relocated to Scotland. https://t.co/xEZACi4MQH

Annalena Baerbock, president of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, did not overlook the International Day to Combat Islamophobia and delivered these words:
Across the world, Muslims continue to face discrimination, hostility, and even violence because of their faith. This must change.

Discrimination or hatred directed at any community because of its religion has no place in our society.

The post continues:
… Combat Islamophobia, we reaffirm our commitment to dignity, tolerance, and mutual respect.
Standing up against Islamophobia is not only about defending one religious community. It is about defending our shared humanity.
But defending one's shared culture is a bad thing. As I mentioned in a previous post, we've written about Monty Python's John Cleese before because he has a raging case of TDS, but his X timeline is incredibly based when it comes to the Islamification of the United Kingdom. You could say that he's a virulent Islamophobe just by scrolling through his X timeline. He had this to say about the UN:
I think it's some of the stuff about beheading people they disagree with that puts impartial observers off https://t.co/Z4HfPrkUOb

As a German, I would like to formally apologize on behalf of this woman.

We are deeply embarrassed.
Ah, it's just our Annalena—we're glad she's not causing any trouble here anymore.

I am ashamed of this German woman…I can only apologize for it…

The stonings. That’s kind of off putting as well.

My mistake, I thought people were put off by the rape.

Yes, and I'm not keen on the subjucation of women either.

If you get a minute, check out all of the Islamophobic posts on his timeline. Someone flagged this video for Cleese. It's been edited, so I don't know how much I trust it, but then again, I don't see a reason not to trust it.
This is why the UAE won't fund students studying in the UK anymore out of fear they'll be radicalized there. @JohnCleese, your country has already fallen. https://t.co/Y8RKVhBbSD

@Keir_Starmer your blasphemy laws disgust me. You're not dragging us all down with you!

That's what I was writing about the other day. The United Kingdom has just appointed an "anti-Muslim hostility czar" and codified the definition of anti-Muslim hostility in a report titled "Protecting What Matters: Towards a more confident, cohesive, and resilient United Kingdom." Communities Secretary Steve Reed assured Brits that the new guidelines for "social cohesion" will in "no way" restrict people's freedom to criticise Islam. So we guess Cleese is safe from the police knocking on his door.
