Now, What Phobia Is This?
Turkey ’s leaders, most notably President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, have the habit of loathing “ Islamophobia in the West which they rightly do.
All the same, their condemnation of the bad is, as it almost always happens, incomplete and selective.
Ahmet Orken is one of Turkey ’s best-known professional cyclists and the multiple Turkish time trial champion. In September he signed a two-year contract with Israel Cycling Academy . In the aftermath of the Turkish public outcry over U.S. President Donald Trump ’s decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem , Mr Orken, under pressure, had to quit his Israel i team and join a homegrown Turkish team. “It was a difficult period in the last two weeks,” he said, referring to pressure on himself and his family for having signed up with an Israel i sports team.
What phobia forced the cyclist to end his contract with a sports team? What phobia could have forced an athlete has to quit his team just because a foreign head of state recognized a city as the official capital of another foreign country? Islamophobia ?
In November, during the Miss Universe Pageant contest in Las Vegas, Miss Iraq Sarah Idan and Miss Israel Adar Gandelsman uploaded images of themselves on their Instagram accounts, with the words “peace and love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel .” A month later the family of Miss Iraq was forced to flee the country. Miss Israel ’s family still lives in Israel peacefully.
What phobia is it that forced an Iraqi family to flee their country just because their daughter posed with an Israel i contestant and posted the words “peace and love?” What phobia may have prompted threats of violence against the Iraqi family? What phobia so powerfully hates peace and love? Islamophobia ?

The UK branch of Amnesty International, the global defender of civil liberties, recently banned UN Watch from speaking in their headquarters joining politicians like Ahmadinjead, Assad, Qaddafi, Castro, Chavez who, over the years, have all tried to intimidate and silence UN Watch.
“In debates of the UN Human rights Council, ambassadors from Iran, syria , Cuba, and the PLO routinely interrupt testimony from victims we bring, and urge the Chairman to rule that I am out of order. I’m used to that by now. Yet never did I imagine that the world’s largest Human rights organization would join their ranks,” said Hillel C. Neuer, executive director of UN Watch. “In a patent display of bigotry and intolerance, a Human rights group that is supposed to defend Freedom of speech and the right to argue is shutting down a debate in their offices.”
Why, really, would a Human rights watchdog, ban another watchdog? Not too difficult to guess. On February 5 th UN Watch released a 50-page report documenting ten years of UN indifference to combating Antisemitism . Would Amnesty ban UN Watch if it documented UN indifference to combating Islamophobia ? Again, not too difficult to guess.
Ah, yes the world would be a perfectly peaceful place to live in if Islamophobia did not exist…

Miss Israel ’s family still lives in Israel peacefully.
Miss Iraq Sarah Idan and her family were forced to flee Iraq because may Iraqis were offended because she posed for a photo with Miss Israel. She and her family are now living comfortably and peacefully in Los Angeles, California where she has earned a degree from a Musician Institute and sings in both Arabic and English.
I don't see your point?
The point is that you see nothing wrong if YOU were made to flee the United States.
The Wonder Woman movies wherein Gal Gadot stars are banned in Muslim countries, because she is an Israeli. Is that considered "Israelophobia"?
Notwithstanding that the Olympics is supposed to be an event where politics are not to interfere with the nations of the world coming together in unity to celebrate athletics, the athletes of Muslim countries refuse to compete against Israeli athletes, just because they are Israelis, and prefer to give up their chance of winning but instead make their countries a disgrace in the eyes of the rest of the world. Is that considered "Israelophobia"?
There are Muslim countries that ban entry to anyone who has an Israeli stamp in their passports. Is that considered "Israelophobia"?
There was recently a World Championship Chess Match, but because it was in a Muslim country that would not permit Israelis to enter, the Israeli chess champions were forbidden to enter. Is that considered "Israelophobia"?
Canada has been considering passing into the law of the country that "Islamophobia" will be a criminal offence. There is NO DEFINITION OF "ISLAMOPHOBIA". Will "Jewophobia" also be considered an offence?
Religion and tribalism, it has driven humankind mad for centuries and continues to do so.
