Islamophobia: Weapon of mass disqualification of the Muslim Brotherhood

By Hamid Zanaz

By use of the word Islamophobia, the Muslim Brotherhood tries to propagate a victim psychology among the youth of Islamic origin in Europe and more particularly in France. Turn these innocents, from their youngest age, against secularism and universal values, poisoning their spirits with the recurring lie, according to which, the French detest Islam, the only true religion. An imaginary hostility held sometimes even by certain elite French.

The fanatical Islamists and their "baggage carriers" fail to see that the European peoples know how to distinguish spiritual from what is political. These people, almost cured of religion, are opposed with reason to behaviors and rites that disturb their modern lives and question the advances in the domain of liberty.

This term, Islamophobia, was invented in West Africa at the beginning of the last century by ethno-specialists of Islam to describe and critique the hostile attitude towards Islam of the colonial administration. They then considered Islam as a faithful ally of the colonial presence. The word came back into fashion with the Koranic Verses affair of Salman Rushdie.

Today, this word expresses a radical idea spread greatly in the Arab-Muslim world. The obsessive hate of the Westerners against Islam, its followers, and everything that is Islamic. It is a Western phobia, having become almost a global conception. So the successive failures of these countries since their independence find their justification in the alleged hostility of the neo-colonialists, the Crusaders of today!

The Islamists of France, the Muslim Brotherhood at the head, have welcomed and adopted the word like a gift fallen from the sky, giving it a different meaning and a different function.: The victimization and prohibiting of all criticism targeting the Islamic religion and its extremism. This fascinating tendency of Islam has succeeded in introducing this word into the editorial rooms of newspapers and TV sets all over the world thanks to the propaganda led by the pro-Islamist media like the Al Jazeera channel. The cursed word has even sneaked into the bosom of international organizations such as the (UN) Committee on Human Rights. 

Not only the European Council has condemned Islamophobia in 2010, but the European Union itself also created a commission in 2015 to combat this "Islamophobia". In France, the word has entered the dictionaries. Larousse gives it a false and simplistic definition. "Hostility towards Islam (and) Muslims." But the word does not concern the Muslims, but Islam, and the prestigious Larousse deliberately confuses Islamophobia with Muslim phobia.
  
Following the hearing of the CCIF in December 2013, the National Consultive Commission on Human Rights (CNCDH) adopted a definition of the phenomenon of "Islamophobia" as being "the appearance of a quasi-phobia, that is, an intense fear in regard to Islam and Muslims in France generating a climate of anxiety and hostility regarding them." So the CNCDH (Commission National Consultive des Droites de l'Homme-National Consultive Commission of Human Rights) adopted the idea of fundamentalist association concealed behind the logo CCIF, the Collective Against Islamophobia in France. A Brotherhood association created in 2003 and dissolved only in 2020! Seventeen long years of war against the values of the Republic!

But are the French really hostile to Islam and to Muslims? Does the French Republic exercise discrimination against them and their religion?

One who believes the nonsense of the Muslim Brotherhood, one who lives far from the French reality, might think that this country has become a Hell for Muslims. That is totally false. Muslims enjoy all civil rights, like all other citizens. In reality, the majority of French people do not detest Muslims, nor does the French state. This does not exclude the existence of certain prejudices within a minority of the population.

Many opinion surveys show us that the French do not disapprove of the Muslim prayer, do not reject their fasting or other spiritual behavior. But they do not accept the veil in school, nor the burka on the street, nor polygamy, nor forced marriage of young adolescents on their soil.

Their hostility vis-a-vis certain aspects of the Islamic culture (which are) the opposite of the values of their Republic are naturally legitimate, indeed healthy.

The Muslim Brotherhood has not ceased to propagate the idea according to which, the prohibiting of the veil in school is an Islamophobic law. Those people want to impose a sort of medieval life upon France- something rejected by the French people and even by the population of North African origin not contaminated by political Islam.

The ruses of the Muslim Brotherhood are already well known. They attempt to convert political problems into issues of identity. Suffice to follow what is said and written in their social media to know how the Muslim Brotherhood exploits hundreds of (web) sites to stir up the fire of religious war.

Loose as a jilbab*, Islamophobia, at the same time, contains lies of propaganda, a false sentiment of persecution, a fierce hatred of secularism. Its main function is to incite community isolation. The strategy of its promoters is to distort the debate, spreading confusion, deny the true situation of Islam and Muslims in France: There is no rejection of Islam in as much as religion and religious practices are concerned in France, but a rejection of political Islam which the Muslim Brotherhood and their  Western "baggage carriers" want to impose on a country (that is) secular and respectful of all faiths.

This talk prevents integration, demonizes Westerners, and idealizes the Muslims, telling them tacitly, "You are hated, your Islamic identity is not recognized. There is nothing for you but uprising and the creation of a parallel Islamic society. Do not integrate into the society of the infidels."

In making Islamophobia a mass weapon of disqualification, the Muslim Brotherhood and their Western  allies pollute the spirits of young Muslims and push them into becoming religiously radicalized. Some of them will become terrorists and will go on to act.....
