Calling Islamic Terrorism Islamic Terrorism Could Fuel Islamophobia, Media Warns

It’s fine to import large numbers of Islamic terrorists into Western nations, but what’s really dangerous is calling them Islamic terrorists because… that could fuel Islamophobia. And everyone knows Islamophobia is much deadlier than Islamic terrorism.
After Muslim terrorists killed 15 people at a Chanukah party in Australia, the media insists we must not mention the “I” word.
“To describe terrorism as ‘religiously motivated’ implies the religion itself authorises or drives the violence,” an editorial at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (the other ABC) complains, while falsely claiming that terrorism violates the “fundamental laws of religions such as Islam”.
The op-ed then absurdly claims that “the Qurʾān allows fighting only under strictly limited conditions: in self-defence to repel aggression and oppression, and in response to treaty violation that threatens peace and security. Even then, the use of armed force is the exclusive prerogative of legitimate state authority — not individuals, groups or vigilantes — and is permitted under strict conditions, including the protection of civilians.”
If this were true, Islam would be limited to a small area in Saudi Arabia rather than controlling the entire region, apart from Israel, along with sizable parts of Africa and Asia. And before long, Europe.
The entire history of Islam is a series of conquests that Muslims are proud of and took great trouble to record. Mohammed had no ‘state authority,’ and his approach to civilians was to kill them if they were men and rape them if they were women or girls.
The “limited conditions” under which Islam allows the mass murder of non-Muslims is anything that establishes Islamic power over them.
The op-ed then insists that Islamic terrorism isn’t really Islamic terrorism because “if a belief system explicitly prohibits an act — as Islamic scripture, jurisprudence and law explicitly prohibit the killing of civilians, vigilantism and indiscriminate violence — it cannot logically be said to motivate that act.”
Also, no true Scotsman can ever be a true Scotsman. Logically.
“Muslims disproportionately bear the consequences of that inconsistency as an undifferentiated out-group, routinely represented in certain media and political discourses as criminals, antisemites and violent extremists.”
Can’t imagine why. Especially when the Bondi Beach killer was part of a huge Muslim mob chanting threats against the Jews after October 7th.
“Mislabelling terrorism has consequences. It fuels Islamophobia.”
Which is much worse than Muslim terrorists killing people in the name of something that is completely un-Islamic… Islam.
