“Islamophobia” is a tendentious term which implies that anyone who has reservations about the wisdom of mass immigration from Islamic countries suffers from an irrational “phobia,” so that the skeptic is the problem, not the behavior of the legal or illegal immigrants. The term was coined and foisted on the rest of us by Muslim activists–the Muslim Brotherhood, if I am not mistaken.
Sweden is one country that has had all the Islamic immigration it can stand. In the last couple of years, its center-right government has reversed the disastrous policies of its predecessors, to the point where there is now a net out-migration from that country. One impetus for that change is the fact that Sweden has one of the highest rates of forcible rape (don’t swallow the BS about how it is all about revised definitions or increased reporting) in Europe, with Islamic immigrants being vastly over-represented among the perpetrators.
Sweden’s government has now announced that it will no longer use the term “Islamophobia,” and will urge other European states to do likewise:
Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard said on Friday that her government will no longer use the term ‘Islamophobia,’ describing the concept as “problematic”—not least because it “brings to mind the irrational fears of individuals.”
The announcement was music to the ears of the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats [Ed.: “Right wing” means representing the majority on the immigration issue], whose MEP Charlie Weimers on Monday said “Islamists exploit ‘Islamophobia’ to advance their agenda and secure EU funding.”
Weimers celebrated that the government was “FINALLY scrapping the made-up concept” for good, as well as the fact it is pushing Brussels and United Nations officials to do the same.
It is, of course, a small victory, but perhaps the tide is finally flowing in a positive direction.
