Islamist extremists reportedly set fire to several Christian houses and businesses in southern <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/egypt">Egypt</a> last week.
The violence broke out on Tuesday night in the village of Al-Fawakher, which is home to about 3,000 Christian families. The local Christian community had recently received a permit to construct a new church building, prompting backlash from some Muslim hardliners.
&#8220;The attacks are believed to have been triggered by an attempt to build a new church in Al-Fawakher village in Minya [province],” one local source, who asked to remain anonymous, told <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/extremists-set-fire-christian-homes-southern-egypt">The New Arab</a>. &#8220;When religious fanatics failed to expel Christians from their homes as a form of punishment, the extremists [reportedly] burned down their houses while they were still inside.”

<a href="https://twitter.com/miaphysenjoyer/status/1782918111186112583">Video</a> circulating on social media appears to show crowds of people dancing and celebrating in front of the burning buildings.
“The extremists attacked Coptic homes with stones and chants, and a number of homes were set on fire, amid the screams of women and children,” Copts United, a religious advocacy group, <a href="https://www.copts-united.com/Article.php?I=5527&amp;A=787677&amp;fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0XCpeBCCPp68E_H1NpM_vAqqgepa462QqKczW5c-uaAa1aAN8vR_KIkwo_aem_AeJkLRz1Yy1feBpmf62DwGP4svUX1gZxl1rPRjQyJ7LaRCcTmpsoqzrn3eMqIlcRXPGooSp5CYumciq2iDYrWZbS">reported</a>. “The attack continued for a long time before the security forces arrived.”
“Security forces arrived and brought the situation under control, arresting the instigators and perpetrators,” Coptic Bishop Anba Macarius said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/AnbaMacarius/status/1782931537081557325">public statement</a> on Wednesday: “State agencies will compensate those affected and hold the perpetrators accountable.Calm prevails in the village now. May God protect our dear country, Egypt, from all harm.”
Christians have long been a persecuted minority in Egypt. Conversion from Islam to Christianity is illegal and Christians are barred from holding certain public offices, and <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/5/26/coptic-christians-killed-in-minya-bus-attack">terror </a> <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/4/8/palm-sunday-church-attacks-egypts-worst-day-of-violence">attacks</a>  <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2013/08/21/egypt-mass-attacks-churches">against</a>  <a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-8-2016-009642_EN.html">churches </a> <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/africa/20220814-fire-during-mass-at-cairo-coptic-church-kills-more-than-40-say-church-officials">and</a>  <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/11/middleeast/cairo-police-foil-coptic-church-suicide-attack/index.html">religious </a> <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2013/08/15/world/meast/egypt-church-attacks/index.html">minorities</a>  <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/explosion-at-cairo-church-kills-at-least-20-injures-35-officials-say/2016/12/11/fa01d7c2-7f2e-4a94-8612-fd6d5c7f4901_story.html">are</a>  <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/egyptian-coptic-couple-murdered-their-beds-christmas-eve">fairly</a>  <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/coptic-christians-killed-bus-attack-egypt/story?id=58924168#:~:text=At%20least%20seven%20people%20on,said%2010%20people%20were%20killed.">common</a>. Minya province in particular has been a hotbed of violence, with at least <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/22/opinion/egypts-cruelty-to-christians.html">77 incidents</a> recorded between 2011-2016, according to the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.
According to Copts United, a <a href="https://www.christiandaily.com/news/coptic-christians-are-attacked-in-two-villages-in-egypt.html">similar attack</a> took place on Friday in the village of Al-Kom Al-Ahmar, after a local Evangelical group was given permission to build a church there.
Bishop Macarius himself <a href="https://www.dailynewsegypt.com/2013/09/30/minya-bishop-escapes-assassination-attempt/">survived an assassination attempt</a> in 2013.
The exact number of Christians within the country is contested, and the officially Islamic Egyptian government has been accused of trying to downplay the size of its Christian minority – <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2011/02/16/how-many-christians-are-there-in-egypt/">estimates</a> range anywhere from 5-15% of the country’s 111 million people, although it is generally agreed that the share is shrinking – likely as a result of conversion, migration, or lower fertility rates compared to Egypt&#8217;s Muslim majority.
The majority of Egypt&#8217;s Christians belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church, which claims descent from the Patriarchate of Alexandria, one of the 5 major centers of early Christianity, alongside Rome, Constantinople, Antioch and Jerusalem. The Coptic Church broke away from what would become the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches in 451 AD after the Council of Chalcedon, over theological differences, and remained the dominant religion in Egypt until the country was conquered in 641 by Muhammed’s immediate successors in the Rashidun (“rightly guided”) Caliphate.
Egypt is also home to hundreds of thousands of Eastern Orthodox Christians, Protestants and Catholics.
“An unacceptable culture of intimidation and discrimination is still far too prevalent in this region despite positive steps taken by the Egyptian authorities in recent years, and the personal commitment of President Sisi to fight sectarian extremism and promote equality of citizenship,” Christian Solidarity Worldwide President Mervyn Thomas said in a <a href="https://www.christiandaily.com/news/coptic-christians-are-attacked-in-two-villages-in-egypt.html">press statement</a>. “Egyptian citizens should all be free to practice any religion or belief of their choosing without fear of threats or physical violence.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-brainer-hbo-renews-bill-mahers-real-time-for-2-more-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Maher</a> slammed recent “Death to America” chants by protesters at an Islamic rally in Dearborn, Michigan, and said “we’ve passed the rubicon.”
The host of HBO&#8217;s “Real Time with Bill Maher” went viral after he posted a <a href="https://x.com/billmaher/status/1780344726647964017">clip</a> on Tuesday from his recent &#8220;Overtime&#8221; segment on YouTube in which he called out protestors at the International Al-Quds Day event &#8212; a day that exists to remind the Islamic world of their opposition to Israel and the U.S.
The chants of “Death to America&#8221; and “Death to Israel&#8221; began while the organizer, anti-Israel activist Takek Bazzi, was attacking the “rottenest” country he and the other protestors live in, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/protesters-at-islamic-event-in-americas-jihad-capital-chant-death-to-america">reported</a>.
“Now can I talk about American propaganda? Because there was a rally in Dearborn, Michigan &#8212; it&#8217;s a large Muslim population, [there were] chants of ‘Death to America.’ I feel like we&#8217;ve passed something here,&#8221; Maher said.
&#8220;The Left has gotten mad at me for many years for talking about Islam,” he added. “I try not to do it too much because I know it makes them go crazy, and I&#8217;ve made my point. But it needs to be talked about now, when you start chanting ‘Death to America’ in America.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Maher then read what Bazzi told the crowd who said, “This is why [former Iranian leader <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/ayatollahs-favorite-news-source-declares-horror-fear-iran-military-campaign-against-us-allies">Ayatollah</a>] Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America.”
The talk show host said he recalls hearing things like this said, but never on U.S. soil.

“But … now it&#8217;s coming from inside America? Sorry. Got to talk about this again,&#8221; Maher replied.
&#8220;This is America, for crying out loud,” he added. “And there are people who will see me [and say], &#8216;Oh, he&#8217;s a conservative now.’ I have not changed. I have always liked America and thought death to it what was bad.”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-maher-warns-canada-is-a-cautionary-tale-for-u-s-were-diving-off-a-cliff">Maher</a> recently made headlines when he warned that Canada was a “cautionary tale” for those Americans pushing “extreme wokeness.”
“If Canada was an apartment, the lead feature might be America adjacent. And if America was a rental car, Canada would be America or similar,” Maher said. “And again, honestly, Canada, I’m not saying any of this because I enjoy it. I don’t because I’ve always enjoyed you, but I need to cite you as a cautionary tale to help my country.”
“And the moral of that tale is, &#8216;Yes, you can move too far Left, and when you do, you wind up pushing the people in the middle to the right,’” he added. &#8220;At its worst, Canada is what American voters think happens when there’s no one putting a check on extreme wokeness.”
“And this is why people vote for [former President Donald] Trump,” Maher <a href="https://x.com/billmaher/status/1778989085362987082" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued</a>. “They say in politics, liberals are the gas pedal and conservatives are the brakes. And I’m generally with the gas pedal. But not if we’re driving off a cliff.”

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) got testy with Fox Business Reporter Hillary Vaughn over a question about a rally in her home district where anti-Israel protesters chanted &#8220;Death to America&#8221; and called for the eradication of Israel.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/protesters-at-islamic-event-in-americas-jihad-capital-chant-death-to-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rally in question</a>, which took place in Dearborn, Michigan, featured a speaker named Tarek Bazzi, who is affiliated with the Hadi Institute. He said: &#8220;We have been asked in the past why our protests on the International Al-Quds Day are so anti-America. Why don’t we just focus on Israel and not talk so much about America? Gaza has shown the entire world why their protests are so anti-America. Because it’s the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about.&#8221;
Attendees at the rally responded to him by shouting, &#8220;Death to America!&#8221; and &#8220;Death to Israel!&#8221;
Vaughn approached Tlaib in a hallway on Capitol Hill, asking several times whether She would respond to the chants. At first, the Michigan Congresswoman said she wouldn&#8217;t talk to anyone from Fox.

&#8220;Congresswoman Tlaib —&#8221; Vaughn began, but Tlaib interrupted before she could even get the question out.
&#8220;I don’t talk to Fox News! I don’t talk to Fox News!&#8221; she insisted.
&#8220;At a rally &#8230; in your district —&#8221; Vaughn tried again, but Tlaib pushed back.
&#8220;I’m not talking to Fox News.,&#8221; she said again.
&#8220;People were chanting &#8216;death to America.&#8217; Do you condemn?&#8221; Vaughn asked.
 &#8220;I do not talk to Fox News,&#8221; Tlaib repeated.
&#8220;But do you condemn chants of death to America?&#8221; Vaughn asked once more.
 &#8220;I don’t talk to people that use racist tropes,&#8221; Tlaib said then, suggesting that Vaughn&#8217;s network was guilty of that.
Vaughn pressed again, asking, &#8220;Why can’t you just say whether or not you condemn —&#8221;
But Tlaib interrupted her again, saying, &#8220;Because I don’t talk to Fox News.&#8221;
&#8220;— people chanting &#8216;death to America?'&#8221; Vaughn completed her thought, then asked, &#8220;Why are you afraid to talk to Fox?&#8221;

&#8220;Fox News is not nice,&#8221; Tlaib claimed. &#8220;Listen, using racist tropes towards my community is what Fox News is about and I don&#8217;t talk to Fox News.&#8221;
Vaughn tried one more tack, noting that some might see the &#8220;death to America&#8221; chants as racist.
&#8220;Is &#8216;death to America&#8217; racist?” Is chanting &#8216;death to America&#8217; racist?&#8221; she asked.
&#8220;Never talk to Fox News,&#8221; Tlaib said again, adding, &#8220;I’m talking about your guys’s racist tropes. You know, you guys are — you guys know exactly what you do. And I know you’re Islamophobic, but you guys gotta go deal with it on your own selves, not going to use me.&#8221;

Protesters at an Islamic event in Dearborn, Michigan, late last week chanted &#8220;death to America!&#8221; and &#8220;death to Israel!&#8221; on the six month anniversary of Hamas&#8217; October 7 terrorist attack on Israel.
The protesters in Dearborn, which has been <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/welcome-to-dearborn-americas-jihad-capital-pro-hamas-michigan-counterterrorism-a99dba38">labeled</a> as &#8220;America&#8217;s Jihad Capital&#8221;, gathered for International Al-Quds Day — a day that exists to remind the Islamic world of their opposition to Israel and the U.S.
Michigan activist Tarek Bazzi, who is affiliated with the Hadi Institute, said: &#8220;We have been asked in the past why our protests on the International Al-Quds Day are so anti-America. Why don&#8217;t we just focus on Israel and not talk so much about America? Gaza has shown the entire world why there protests are so anti-America. Because it&#8217;s the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about.&#8221;
&#8220;This is why Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America,&#8221; he continued.
As he spoke, chants of &#8220;Death to America!&#8221; and &#8220;Death to Israel!&#8221; broke out.
&#8220;Malcolm X said, and I quote: &#8216;We live in one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this Earth,'&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s not Genocide Joe that has to go, it is the entire system that has to go. Any system that would allow such atrocities and devilry to happen and would support it — such a system does not deserve to exist on God&#8217;s earth. So when these fools ask us if Israel has the right to exist&#8230; The chant &#8216;Death to Israel&#8217; has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today.&#8221;
He also encouraged young children at the event to repeat the genocidal chant: &#8220;From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.&#8221;
Michigan Imam Usama Abdulghani, who is also affiliated with the Hadi Institute, said: &#8220;Imam Khomeini recognized that Israel is an evil settler colonialist project. He realized it was a cancer and he established this day.&#8221;
&#8220;Israel before this, brothers and sisters, was a sacred cow. Nobody could criticize Israel. Everybody was terrified of being anti-Semitic,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Everybody was afraid of them, but now the people of conscience very openly will criticize Israel. They recognize Israel for what it is. Israel is ISIS, they are Nazis, they are fascists, they are racists. The people of the world now know this.&#8221;

Protesters At Islamic Event In ‘America’s Jihad Capital’ Chant ‘Death To America!’

On Thursday, Andrew Percy, a member of the British Parliament, gave an impassioned speech about the intimidation of Britons by supporters of radical Islam and anti-Israel activists &#8220;demanding jihad&#8221; in the streets.
The day before, anti-Israel demonstrators projected images onto the building that houses the British Parliament, including the genocidal call, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

“I was in Israel last week meeting with friends and survivors and hostage families, and I actually felt safer in Israel than I do in this country at this moment in time,” Percy, who is Jewish, declared, then referred to the previous day’s debate over resolutions calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. “I have two reflections on that visit and what happened yesterday. First of all, nobody in this House has any business, agency, at all telling the state of Israel where it is able to operate to seek to rescue hostages who are being raped by Islamic terrorists who hold them. Nobody has any business.”
“Secondly, if we have a rerun of the debate we had yesterday, we will have exactly the same thing happen again, which is that members will not vote with their hearts because they are frightened and they are scared,” Percy continued. “And what do we expect? For months, I’ve been standing up here talking about the people in our streets demanding death to Jews, demanding jihad, demanding intifada, as the police stand by and allow that to happen. Last night a genocidal call, ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,&#8217; was projected onto this building. That message says no Jew is welcome in the state of Israel or in that land.”
“This is going to continue happening because we’re not dealing with it,” Percy stated. “So if we have a rerun of this, can the leader explain to me what will be any different, and how will members vote with their hearts and their consciences? Because too many will not at the moment, because of the threats we’re receiving. Threats telling us to leave this country in some of our cases, and telling us that they want us and our families to be subjected to pain and to death.”

The former Miss Iraq — who made international headlines and faced backlash from critics of Israel after she posed for photos with Miss Israel at the 2017 Miss International Beauty Pageant — visited the scene of the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israelis and blasted those who slaughter Jews in the name of Allah.
“I visited Kfar Aza, a place where the heart-wrenching horror of Hamas’s infiltration led to a massacre of innocent Israeli families right in their homes,&#8221; Sarah Idan, Miss Iraq 2017 tweeted. “Located just a mile from Gaza, we stood witness as the Iron Dome intercepted rockets launched by Hamas. I brought my old uniform from Iraq to be mentally prepared, but I was still shocked and at a loss for words. Never in my life, not even amidst the terror of ISIS, have I seen such barbarity. What was once a vibrant community now echoes with a haunting silence of tragedy.”
“I don’t care what’s your religion if your God permits you to do this in his name then your God is wrong,” she wrote bluntly. “My mind is still traumatized by the scene, the smell of the dead bodies. Shame on those pretending the massacre didn’t happen.”

In November 2017, Idan posed for photos with Miss Israel, Adar Gandelsman, for their respective Instagram accounts. Idan’s caption read: “Peace and Love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel.” Gandelsman wrote on her Instagram post, “Get to know, this is Miss Iraq and she’s amazing.” She added on Facebook, “Practicing bringing world peace.”
The backlash from parts of the Muslim world targeting Idan, 27 at the time, was so fierce that she posted a defense on Instagram, writing in Arabic, “I want to stress that the purpose of the picture was only to express hope and desire for peace between the two countries,” but adding that the photo did not indicate support for the Israeli government and offering an apology if the photo was harmful to the Palestinian cause.
Despite her attempt to curb the backlash, Idan ended up having to relocate her family due to threats, the Jerusalem Post reported. Gandelsman, who has become good friends with Idan, told Hadashot that Idan’s family had been forced to flee Iraq after receiving death threats for Idan’s photos with Gandelsman as well as Idan posing in a bikini.

In June 2018, Idan and Gandelsman reunited in Jerusalem, then posted a picture online captioned, “Sister&#8217;s reunion.” The two also posted a video in which Idan told her followers “Shalom” while Gandelsman told her followers, “Salaam.”
Idan told Israel’s Channel 2 News, “I don&#8217;t think Iraq and Israel are enemies; I think maybe the governments are enemies with each other. There&#8217;s a lot of Iraqi people that don&#8217;t have a problem with Israelis.”
In October 2019, Idan lauded Israel for its commitment to help the Kurdish people in the face of Turkish dictator Recep Erdogan’s brutal assault on them. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted, “Israel strongly condemns the Turkish invasion of the Kurdish areas in Syria and warns against the ethnic cleansing of the Kurds by Turkey and its proxies. Israel is prepared to extend humanitarian assistance to the gallant Kurdish people.”
Idan commented, “And people wonder why I stand with Israel … heard many countries say ‘They condemn’ but not a single one said they will extend assistance to #Kurds.”

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/islam" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Muslim</a> family in Tennessee was arrested this week for allegedly beating a family member for converting to Christianity.
The Metro Nashville Police Department responded to a welfare check on Monday and discovered a juvenile family member who was &#8220;cut haphazardly&#8221; on his face with lumps and bruising, according to a <a href="https://fox17.com/news/local/nashville-tennessee-mother-muslim-family-accused-of-assaulting-son-for-converting-to-christianity-middle-tn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Fox 17 Nashville.
The victim, whose age and name were not given, told law enforcement that he was attacked because he recently became a Christian. Police said in the arrest warrant that the family members were all Muslim.
&#8220;The victim told officers his mother, brother and father repeatedly punched him and spat in his face,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;Arrest records show his mother then took a knife and scratched the back of his right hand with it.&#8221;
The victim told police that the attack did not stop until they arrived at the house for the welfare check. Police performed the welfare check after they were tipped off by the victim&#8217;s employer that something was happening to him.
The family reportedly demanded that the victim renounce his Christian faith and convert back to Islam.

Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> ripped a reporter on Tuesday who suggested that Muslims are facing a similar threat level as Jews are right now in the wake of Hamas&#8217; October 7 terrorist attack against Israel.
The reporter asked DeSantis at a press conference about the alleged &#8220;increase in violence to Muslims and Muslim schools,&#8221; which comes as there has been a dramatic increase in anti-Semitic incidents worldwide over the last two months.
&#8220;Yeah, that is not true,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;They are not experiencing the similar threats. &#8230; Are those students being chased for their lives in some of these universities around the country? They had the pro-Israel rally in Washington, D.C., I didn&#8217;t see any hate there. I saw American flags. I saw Israel flags. I saw that.&#8221;
&#8220;I think that&#8217;s a totally false equivalence, and that&#8217;s what Biden has done,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Biden has responded to the unprecedented spike in anti-Semitic fervor around the world, and even in this country, he&#8217;s responded by saying that the real problem is Islamophobia. They are not the same thing. That&#8217;s just not what&#8217;s happening, like it&#8217;s happening here in the United States &#8212; and in Florida, obviously, we have areas that are targeted.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t think those are the same, and I think that there&#8217;s one vein of hate that is predominating over all others right now, and that is anti-Semitism,&#8221; he added.
DeSantis said that the explosion in anti-Semitic incidents in the wake of the October 7 attacks has been so drastic, it has surprised a lot of people who already &#8220;were very concerned about this issue.&#8221;
&#8220;The number of &#8212; the percentage of crimes against people based on identity &#8212; Jews always lead that overwhelmingly in America and around the world,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;But in America, not even close. There&#8217;s not even a close second. That&#8217;s just the fact on it.&#8221;

DeSantis Rips Reporter For Trying To Compare Rise In Anti-Semitism With Islamophobia

General

Joe Biden

Ron DeSantis

This month has seen the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.
It has also seen the worst global spike in anti-Semitism since the Holocaust.
According <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/open-hatred-jews-surges-globally-inflamed-by-gaza-war-2023-10-31/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to Reuters</a>, “In countries where figures are available from police or civil society groups, including the United States, Britain, France, Germany and South Africa, the pattern is clear: the number of antisemitic incidents has gone up since Oct. 7 by several hundred percent compared with the same period last year.” 
Such incidents range from verbal abuse to threats to property attacks to assaults. Some are happening on our nation’s campuses. The editor of the Harvard Law Review, Ibrahim Bharmal, joined in accosting a Jewish student and blocking his way.
Anti-Semitism also extends into the administrative halls of our universities: Georgetown just hired the radical anti-Semite Aneesa Johnson as new assistant director of academic and faculty affairs, who posted about “Zio bitches” saying, “They’re dogs.”
Meanwhile, some Jewish businesses are being boycotted for the crime of being Jewish businesses. According to the Washington Post, more than 30 Jewish eateries and markets in Philadelphia are being hit with a boycott organized by a pro-Hamas group because they are “owned by Zionists.” Even some shops that aren’t owned by Jews are being boycotted for serving Israeli food, because according to the Philly Palestine Coalition, such food is “a means of erasing Palestinian existence.”
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1842-time-to-cut-off-your-own-head-to-prevent-community-tension-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
But there’s something peculiar about all the media reports about the extravagant spike in anti-Semitism: They all carry notes about a supposedly concomitant rise in “Islamophobia.”
This is odd, to say the least.
What the hell does Islamophobia have to do with anti-Semitism?
The answer is: precisely nothing. 
Precisely nothing, that is, unless you wish to suggest that response to anti-Semitism is linked with Islamophobia — that if you wish to oppose radical Muslim anti-Semitism, that is an aspect of Islamophobia.
Which, of course, is precisely what anti-Semites are suggesting these days. 
Take, for example, Corey Saylor of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR is the most frequently cited group on “rising Islamophobia.” CAIR is a group that, by the way, was an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of Hamas front charity, the Holy Land Foundation. Saylor refuses to condemn boycotts on Jewish businesses; he told <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/11/01/israel-gaza-jews-antisemitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Washington Post</a> that “it is 100 percent on the table to criticize supporters of Israeli apartheid.” 
CAIR itself accuses Israel of “textbook ethnic cleansing” and “war crime” for defending itself, trots out anti-Semite extraordinaire Linda Sarsour, and promotes the Hamas lie that Israel bombed a hospital (it was Palestinian Islamic Jihad). On October 7, the date of the Hamas massacre, CAIR National tweeted, “We join @USCMO and the American Muslim community in reaffirming our support for the Palestinian people&#8217;s right to freedom and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation, which kills hundreds of Palestinian civilians every year, subjects millions of Palestinians to racist oppression, and sparks the deadly violence that we see again and again, including today.”
On October 7, before any Israeli response, they also called for an end to American aid to Israel and the Abraham Accords.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
We join <a href="https://twitter.com/USCMO?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@USCMO</a> and the American Muslim community in reaffirming our support for the Palestinian people&#39;s right to freedom and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation, which kills hundreds of Palestinian civilians every year, subjects millions of Palestinians to racist… <a href="https://t.co/eW4waBJGc2">pic.twitter.com/eW4waBJGc2</a>
&mdash; CAIR National (@CAIRNational) <a href="https://twitter.com/CAIRNational/status/1710758201358966893?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 7, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The group has not offered a single word condemning Hamas.
Good thing the Biden Administration infamously invited CAIR to participate in its national anti-Semitism strategy back in May.
CAIR is, by any stretch of the imagination, a fomenter of anti-Semitism.
But that’s the point of focusing on supposed Islamophobia: the goal is to treat response to anti-Semitism as a form of Islamophobia. So Saylor claims that it is Islamophobia to publicize the names of students who sign petitions siding with Hamas, while claiming it is not anti-Semitism to boycott Jewish businesses.
Fascinating.
Columbia University is playing the same game. The President of Columbia University sent out <a href="https://president.columbia.edu/news/announcing-doxing-resource-group" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a letter</a> yesterday praising the “persistence and perseverance of the students” who have signed letters supporting Hamas, after their names and faces have been shown publicly. Opposing Hamas means Islamophobia, apparently.
The legacy media feel the same way. That’s precisely why, since October 7, the media have rushed to link anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, as though the two phenomena are part of a “cycle of hatred.” 
That’s a disgusting and wrong take that excuses anti-Semitism through false charges of Islamophobia. But it’s extraordinarily common on the Left these days. One variation on the theme comes from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has emerged as one of the nation’s leading anti-Semites. She now accuses the American Israel Public Affairs Committee of being an “extremist group” attempting to undermine American democracy and targeting “members of color.” 
Yes, those wily Jews and their dirty shekels are clearly the problem as anti-Semitism spikes. They must be stopped.
The Biden administration is falling into the trap of linking anti-Semitism and Islamophobia — a link that has the purposeful goal of demonizing opposition to Hamas. Fearful of their own base, the Biden Administration announced yesterday a White House National Strategy to combat Islamophobia. Karine Jean-Pierre explained, “For too long, Muslims in America, and those perceived to be Muslim, such as Arabs and Sikhs, have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks and other discriminatory incidents.”
In actuality, Sikhs are targeted more often than Muslims, according to the FBI, despite representing just a few hundred thousand people in the United States; Jews represent around 60% of the victims of federally monitored hate crimes.
But Islamophobia is top of mind. Vice President Kamala Harris announced the new initiative yesterday.
Why is the White House playing this game? Because they’re attempting to buy back the support of Muslims across the United States who are enraged that the White House has sided with Israel instead of Hamas. The latest polls show that nearly six in ten American Muslims agree that “Hamas was justified in attacking Israel as part of their struggle for a Palestinian state.” The White House is trying to buy off the Hamas fans by jabbering about the supposed victimhood to which they are subjected.
It’s perverse. It continues to drive a false narrative that opposition to Hamas is opposition to Muslims — a proposition that Muslims themselves should reject, although precious few have done so publicly.
If the Biden administration feels the necessity to keep radical Muslims in their electoral coalition by pandering, that says something pretty nasty about their moral stature in fighting anti-Semitism, as they claim they wish to do.

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> went public on Wednesday with the Biden administration&#8217;s newest project — a National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia — in the wake of increasing and escalating anti-semitic threats and attacks in the United States and worldwide.
&#8220;Taking on hate is a national priority. Today, @POTUS and I are announcing the country&#8217;s first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia. This action is the latest step forward in our work to combat a surge of hate in America,&#8221; Harris shared in a post on X, along with a brief video.

In the video, Harris touted the fact that President Joe Biden and his administration had already put together a National Strategy to Counter Anti-semitism — which they announced earlier this year — but made no mention of how it was being implemented, especially as anti-semitic attacks have risen dramatically in the weeks since Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,400 Israelis, many of them civilians.
Instead, Harris focused on the apparent threat of Islamophobia: &#8220;For years, Muslims in America and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks. As a result of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we have seen an uptick in anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, anti-semitic, and Islamophobic incidents across America, including the brutal attack of a Palestinian-American woman, who is Muslim, and the killing of her 6-year-old son.&#8221;
Critics questioned the timing of the announcement, especially since the anti-semitic incidents on college campuses reached a boiling point when Jewish students received death threats at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cornell-student-faces-5-years-in-prison-after-allegedly-making-online-threats-to-jewish-students-on-campus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cornell University</a> and were forced to hide inside a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-hamas-protesters-locked-out-while-jewish-students-shelter-in-cooper-union-campus-library" target="_blank" rel="noopener">locked library</a> at New York City&#8217;s Cooper Union.

President Joe Biden <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/02/biden-tells-white-house-guest-to-hush-up-boy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scolded a guest</a> at Monday&#8217;s White House event in honor of Eid al-Fitr — celebrating the end of the Islamic holiday Ramadan — saying, &#8220;Hush up, boy,&#8221; when one of the attendees interrupted him.
Biden began his remarks with a joke, promising to make his comments brief so as to be finished in time for those in attendance to get to their 6 p.m. prayers. &#8220;[The] quickest speech I ever made in my life,&#8221; he said.
But then someone in the audience called out to the president, alerting him to the fact that the United States&#8217; first and only Muslim federal judge was in attendance for the event.

But when Biden attempted to get back to the planned program, the audience member who had interrupted earlier continued to talk over him.

&#8220;Do you want to come and make a speech?&#8221; Biden asked, waving him forward and prompting laughter from the audience.
After a brief pause, Biden scolded him: &#8220;Hush up, boy, as my mother would say.&#8221;
The president went on to conclude his remarks about the month-long Islamic holiday, calling Ramadan &#8220;a time to slow down, reconnect, and remember what matters most.&#8221;
President Biden is only one week into his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-faces-a-sea-of-troubles-as-he-stumbles-with-re-election-bid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reelection campaign</a> — which was officially announced via a video early last Tuesday morning — and he is facing an uphill battle even amongst his own party.
