Is Islamophobia rational or racism? Phyllis Chesler & Fern Sidman write:
On the Islamophobia Train: The Rabbi and the Imam
in Israel National News

As Islamist terrorists are being arrested in Baku for a plot to attack both the American and Israeli Embassies; as Muslims torture, murder, and exile Christians from their native Arab lands; as Hamas constantly bombards Israeli civilians with rockets launched from Gaza; even as Iran is threatening to send many "caravans of tens of thousands" of hostile Iranians to march on Jerusalem—guess what subject drew 225 eager audience members and the media to an upper west side Jewish Community Center?

The subject du jour was:“Combating Islamophobia,” which featured panelists Rabbi Marc Schneier and Imam Shamsi Ali. The moderator: None other than former First Daughter, Chelsea Clinton.

Why are Jews confusing "Islamophobia" with anti-Semitism? One understands why Muslims who are used to feeling superior to all other religions, would want to assume whatever remains of Jewish victimhood and make it their own in order to gain sympathy for real and imaginary slights and for terrorist aggression—but why are Jews enabling them to do so?

Helen Freedman of Americans for a Safe Israel organized the protest of concerned Jews, Christians, and Hindi outside the Manhattan JCC. In this exclusive interview, she addresses Israel resisting Islamist imperialism encroaching through an irredentist Arab state of Palestine.

In 2008, the FBI found that 66.1% of religious hate crimes in America targeted Jews, but only 7.5% of religious hate crimes targeted Muslims. Another 2011 study shows that religious bias crimes against Muslim Americans have remained relatively low, with a downward trend since 2001, and are significantly less than the numbers of bias crimes against Jewish victims.

Nevertheless, Islamists claim that Muslims are suffering far more than Jews in America.

Are Rabbi Schneier and his partner,, Imam Shamsi Ali, the leaders we need?

Xenophobia is an irrational fear of foreigners. What is Islamophobia? Are allegations of Islamophobia merely a "race card" to discredit critics of Islamism? Is Islamophobia an irrational or a rational response to Islamist totalitarianism?  Mrs. Suzanne Reyto, an Hungarian refugee who fled communist totalitarianism, is concerned about the convoluting of her rational fear of totalitarianism under the Islamist religious banner.



Mrs. Reyto commented following a presentation of Egyptian apostate, Nonie Darwish, who addressed the Malibu/BelAir Republican Women Federated.
