Islamophobia
- People scratch their heads about the cause of "Islamophobia".
Are westerners just hostile to "difference"?
I suggest the main cause of "Islamophobia" is
the never-ending series of Islamic terror attacks.
Islamic terror attacks on the West
It is shocking to see
just how many Islamic terror attacks there have been in the West in modern times.
Islamic terror in the West did not start with Osama Bin Laden.
It started with Palestinian terror in 1968.
While there were precursors
such as
an attack in Australia in 1915
and attacks in France in the Algerian War of 1954-62,
modern Islamic terror in the West really starts in 1968.
And it has been non-stop killing and bombing by Islamic terrorists in the West ever since.
(Note in this list I exclude attacks on Israel, which go back before 1968.
I do consider Israel to be part of the West.
I just treat it as a separate case for purposes of this list.)
Islamic terror attacks on the West
seem to be a regular and permanent part of modern life.
International travel
lets in Islamic terrorist tourists/students/visitors (as in 9/11).
And immigration
lets in Islamic terrorist immigrants/refugees (as in 7/7).
As I say elsewhere,
not all immigrants (or visitors) are a threat.
Most Muslim immigrants are in the West because they
have some admiration for western values
and want to escape from sharia and jihad,
Only a small percentage of Muslim immigrants are violent threats to the West.
But it is a steady small percentage,
and it will never end.
It is hard to see how attacks on the West by Islamic immigrants will ever end.
The following is a list of Islamic terror attacks on the West since the start in 1968:
I exclude the vast number of Islamic attacks on the democracies of
Israel and India,
and the former democracy of
Russia.
I mostly exclude attacks by Muslims on Muslims
inside the West.
e.g. Palestinian attacks on other Arabs,
such as
Naji al-Ali,
or attacks on Muslim embassies, such as the
Iranian Embassy Siege.
I exclude the vast number of
failed plots.
I only include attacks that were actually carried out in some form.
I exclude many minor attacks.
I exclude Islamic attacks on Western bases, people, embassies, etc.,
if those attacks take place outside
the West.
Or hijacks that started outside
the West.
I exclude the large number of honour killings
that have taken place in the West.
I exclude all Islamic domestic violence.
Honour killings might actually be the main form of Islamic violence in the West
(by numbers of people killed).
I exclude the ocean of Islamic violence outside the West, that has killed millions in the above time period.
See Summary of modern killings for Islam.
In other words, Islam is much more violent than it appears even in the list above.
The first day of the war:
5 June 1968.
The assassination of RFK
was carried out by a Palestinian Christian,
but he was working for the jihad
(like so many idiot Arab Christians).
In the brilliant
Message from a Time Traveler,
the Time Traveler comes from the future to warn of
"The Century War".
In retrospect, he says, we can see when it started:
"I mean the Century War with Islam. Your future. Everyone’s.
...
I mean the Long War with Islam.
The Century War. And it’s not over yet where I come from. Not close to being over.
...
Historians in my time know that it began on June 5, 1968.
But it hasn’t really begun for you yet. For any of you."
Munich Massacre
1972.
The modern day Nazis kill Jews in Germany.
Clip from the movie Munich.
Entebbe hijack 1976.
German terrorists help Islamic terrorists
kill Jews.
Madrid bombings 2004.
200 dead.
Islamic attacks on the West will never end.
I exclude the vast number of
failed Islamic terror plots
against the West.
This list of
failed Islamic terror plots against the US from Sept 2001 to Sept 2011 gives a small idea of how many
Islamic terror plots against the West there would be since 1968.
Sometimes classification is hard.
The killer in the
Liege massacre in Belgium in Dec 2011
was an orphan of Moroccan Muslim origin,
had a
rocket launcher with jihadi writing on it,
and targeted Christmas shoppers.
But I still don't think it was an Islamic terror attack.
Since 1995.
