“Islamophobia” is a propaganda neologism designed to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women.
Meanwhile, this reveals the insidious nature of the entire “Islamophobia” enterprise. The Iranian endorsement and propagation of this term, with the participation of Wayne State University’s Saeed Khan, recalls another Iranian initiative in academic propaganda: Carl Ernst, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill pseudo-academic whose work on Islam is so whitewashed, so fawningly apologetic, so complete in its denial of the jihad doctrine and Sharia oppression, that he was given an award in 2008 by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the genocide-minded anti-Semite who was at that time President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Ernst happily flew to Tehran to accept. The incident was emblematic of how much American academia has degenerated.
“Book on Political Islamophobia in US Unveiled in Tehran,” International Quran News Agency, July 6, 2020:
TEHRAN (IQNA) – A book on political Islamophobia in the US was unveiled in a ceremony in Tehran on Monday.
“Political Islamophobia at American Institutes: Battling the Power of Islamic Resistance” is the title of the book by University of Tehran Professor Hakimeh Saghaye-Biriya.
The book has recently been published in 210 pages by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) in London.
It analyses the role of US think tanks in institutionalizing and fueling Islamophobia in the US government’s domestic and foreign policies.
Addressing the ceremony, held at the International Quran News Agency here in the Iranian capital, Saghaye-Biriya described Islamophobia as a branch of racism in the West.
She said at a time when protests against racism have spread globally, there is a good opportunity to make a bridge between Islamic resistance and anti-racism movements in the world.
Saghaye-Biriya also said she plans to write the second volume of the book focusing on ways of tackling Islamophobia in the West.
In recorded video messages played at the ceremony, IHRC President Masoud Shajareh and Wayne State University Saeed Khan hailed the book for providing a good analysis of the role of political think thanks in US policy making and understanding the roots of Islamophobia in the country….

Iran worries about Islamophobia in the US, but they are champions in Christianophobia in their own country!
FYI says
Yes, and we in the west should hold a ceremony to unveil a book on Christianophobia and antisemitism:
The ‘holy’ koran
An insidious little plagiarized fraud of a ‘holy’ book that says Christians are to be cursed for believing in Jesus Christ{koran 9:30} Jews and Christians are ‘the WORST of created beings’ {koran 98:6}.. but the Jews in particular are singled out and are ‘to be despised and hated’ {koran 2:65}
That sounds like islamic koranic hate speech to me…

If you COULD hold such a ceremony in Tehran, I think many modern-thinking Iranians would support it. However, to attend would be suicidal. They would be arrested for wrong-think.

*Kafirophobia* is an authentic phenomenon found in Islam, while ‘Islamophobia’ is the MIRROR IMAGE of
*Kafirophobia* and its INVERSE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION.
Let us call it “KAFIROPHOBIC PROJECTION”
*Kafirophobia* is the demonization and dehumanization of kafirs. Kafirophobia is normative Islam because it comes directly from Allah in 14 Koranic. Muslims are not allowed to befriend or love kafirs, because Allah does not love the kafir.
Kafirophobia is the phenomenon of a prejudice against or demonization of non-Muslims which manifests itself in general negative attitudes, violence, harassment, discrimination, and stereotyping (and particularly being vilified in the Islamic media).
In PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION, a person projects and transfers his own guilt, shame and bad attitudes or behaviors onto ‘the other’ in order to scapegoat them and make them targets for persecution and victimization.
For instance a person who is rude or aggressive will accuse ‘the other’ of being rude or aggressive.
KAFIROPHOBIC PROJECTION is typical PASSIVE-AGGRESSION Islamic-style. It is found in over half of the Islamic Trilogy of books found in the Koran, Sira and hadiths.

Thanku for your comment. I wish to self educate on all the harms of Islam, I am relatively new to this; finding jihadi watch by luck, (my belief is it was put in my path) whilst researching diligently (often with no avail) the numbers of sexual abuses committed by immigrants & those of muslim names – only within my city & surrounding areas, as it is such horrendous problem that the leftist media won’t report the truth or highlight the issue. A paedophile hunting group also exposed several of these migrants & muslims grooming children online – yet the press don’t touch it – some admitted on camera they were only 3 months in the country! It is an epidemic of girls, boys being groomed and women and men being sexually violated, yet no attention is given to this. I am bewildered by the injustice after injustice on these problems & the worrying issues I read here and videos I’ve viewed. I am afraid that this sharia is gaining so much of a stronghold everywhere, and fail to understand why the truth won’t be spoken or the press fail to report unimaginable horrors yet focus on black lives matter and support them all the way? Love & peace from Glasgow

Islamic Republic of Iran holds ceremony to unveil book on “Islamophobia” in the US
………………
Just laughable.
Meanwhile, Jews, Christians, Baha’i, and Atheists are terribly persecuted in Iran.
mortimer says
Good points from GI. The mullahocracy oppresses all ‘others’ and they are not an example of tolerance that they preach hypocritically to other countries.
There even isn’t a Sunnite mosque in Tehran. From there, the intolerance goes downhill. The Baha’is are the most persecuted religion in Iran. It will take dozens of funerals among the leaders of the mullahocracy before Iran can taste freedom again.

True, Mortimer:

University of Tehran Professor Hakimeh Saghaye-Biriya is of all people most miserable. She has to live under the thumb of Islamic men, and yet she writes a book which undoubtedly extols Islam.
Some questions:
* Does she teach only women in the university, or are there also men in her classes?
* Did a man direct her to write this book? For example, her dean.

How can Islam gain credibility while mocking millions of people globally who actually suffer from an anxiety disorder? Who are the psychiatrists who actually diagnose this (non-existent) specific phobia? Islam is vicious even in trying to attain victim hood.
Keith O says
Where can I get a copy of this book?
With everything that’s happening I need a good laugh.
And reading this just might provide it.
mortimer says
The ‘Islamophobia’ slander is the Islamist version of McCarthyism.
Antiislamicman says
There is no such thing as islamophobia
Mike 2 says
I think there must be Islamophobia ( fear of Islam ) in islam or there would be more apostasy.
Hasmat says
What is the definition of Islamophobia? Islam=Death to Kifir, Infidels, non-Muslim. Phobia=Fear of something or someone. So all Islamophobia is is the fear of Muslims killing you because you are not a Muslim, and are considered as a Kifir, Infidel, and not a Muslim. Muslim is defined by who you were born from. If you are born from a Muslim Father you are a Muslim, and if you are born from a Christian family you are a Kifir. So the only thing we are afraid of is Terrorists from another Country and should see them as the enemy as the KORAN insists we are. Stop trying to see any good in a culture that has been stuck in a Barbaric world for over 1700 years and has not and will not change the way they look at other civilizations. Muhammad was a War Lord and blood thirsty for killing. Why are we to bow to a War Lord that doesn’t even care about their own blood family and would kill their own over some ALLAH god that was taking writings fro several other religions to make it look like we all worship the same god. Allah was not known to any man woman or child before 1700 years ago and when Muhammad came into the picture he would kill all who refuse his diety as a prophet which was self declared. No witnesses of any visions or miracles to back up any claim that Allah or Muhammad even existed and Muhammad was only told about 300 years after he was poisoned by a mortal woman, and a Jew no less, so how do the Prophets set out from the Christian Scriptures? Every Prophet was way before ALLAH or MUHAMMAD and done miracles and signs of who they were and backed it up. But to believe in the Koran with no history of Muhammad or Allah before Islam and the words that were not written down and from thousands of story tellers that made a book as soon as their inbred society learned how to read and write is simply mind boggling. Everything that Islam ever had as a history was stolen from other cultures and never anything that even resembled a cohesive thought to improve on their culture they did come up with or create. All that comes from Islam is reverse from others beliefs. We better find out who the enemy of Humanity really is before they destroy all traces of OUR Society. Any converts to Islam are cowards and give up their freedom and Safety to be under the Yoke of Islam are brainless drones that were dumbed down in Public schools and don’t have any idea what Socialism, Marxism, and Communism is all about. These are the last days and all Hell is about to break loose.
mortimer says
Hasmat asks, “What is the definition of Islamophobia?”
In actual practice, Muslim apologists use the word ‘Islamophobe’ almost every time a non-Muslim comes up with an argument that is unanswerable. Instead of conceding the validity of any critique of Islam, the Islamist apologists toss out this ad hominem slander to distract people, so they will not even read, let alone consider, the validity of an unfavorable argument.

Islamophobia is the restriction of freedom of speech. Islam cannot stand up to intelligent criticism its teachings are both racist and sexist. The leadership of islam is nothing short of a dictatorship that will use genocide to eliminate its foes. Just take a good look at the countries that are dominated by islam, their citizens live in fear and a world filled with violence and hate.
