Are roving bands of Trump supporters beating up innocent, pious, hijabbed Muslimas today? Of course not. But victimhood is a prized status in twenty-first century America, and so Islamic supremacists in the United States are today playing the victim card for all it’s worth. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. A New Jersey Muslim was found guilty of murder that he tried to portray as an “Islamophobic” attack, and in 2014 in California, a Muslim was found guilty of killing his wife, after first blaming her murder on “Islamophobia.”

This kind of thing happens quite frequently. The New York Daily News reported that “a woman who told cops she was called a terrorist and slashed on her cheek in lower Manhattan on Thursday later admitted she made up the story, police said early Friday. The woman, who wore a headscarf, told authorities a blade-wielding wacko sliced open her face as she left a Manhattan cosmetology school, police sources said.”

And recently in Britain, the murder of a popular imam was spread far and wide as another “Islamophobic hate crime” – until his killer also was found to be a Muslim. The Mirror reported that the imam “was targeted because he had made efforts to turn youngsters away from radical Islam.”

According to The Detroit News, a Muslim woman, Saida Chatti, was “charged with making a false police report after she allegedly fabricated a plot to blow up Dearborn Fordson High School to retaliate against the November terrorist attacks in Paris….Police say Chatti called Dearborn investigators Nov. 19, six days after Islamic extremists killed 130 people in Paris.”

And similarly in Britain, a Muslim woman was “fined for lying to police about being attacked for wearing a hijab. The 18-year-old student, known only as Miss Choudhury, said she was violently shoved from behind and punched in the face by a man in Birmingham city centre 10 days after the atrocities in the French capital on November 13.”

The agenda in all this is insidious: Trump has proposed genuine initiatives to curb jihad terror. In response, Islamic advocacy groups and activists are pretending to be Jews in Nazi Germany. The intended effect will be to stymie all attempts to stop jihad terror, because they result in a “backlash” against innocent Muslims. To avoid that “backlash,” we’re just supposed to lie down and die.

“Muslim-Americans React to Donald Trump Winning the Election: ‘I Fear for My Muslim Family,'” by Mahita Gajanan, Fortune, November 9, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Muslim-Americans took to Twitter on election night to express their dismay at the election of Donald Trump, a man who has repeatedly said he would ban Muslims from the U.S. if elected president. Somalis, who are immigrants, black and Muslim, are really concerned about what the hell is going on. https://t.co/kRIq5ohYjR — Mukhtar ?? ?? (@mukhtaryare) November 9, 2016 I fear for my Muslim family. My father and his thick accent. My brother and his brown skin. My sister who wears her culture on her neck. — Rawan (@rawan) November 9, 2016 Despite sharing feelings of fear, many people encouraged defiance in the face of hate and bigotry. A cruel dangerous world just become more so. Hug loved ones tonight & get ready to fight like hell 4 the soul of our country. #Election2016 — Omar Baddar (@OmarBaddar) November 9, 2016 All my brothers and sisters in the US of A please stay safe stay indoors in’sha’allah it’ll be over soon — KingHamza (@IamHamza_) November 9, 2016 … We refuse to be the victim and refuse to capitulate to conditions that allowed a white supremacist to assume the highest office in the land. — Imraan Siddiqi (@imraansiddiqi) November 9, 2016 “All joking aside. We can’t be afraid. We have to be defiant in the face of bigotry and injustice,” writer Imraan Siddiqi tweeted.

What is the evidence that Trump is a “white supremacist”? He wants a moratorium on Muslim immigration, and Muslims are all “brown,” you see. Tortured logic bordering on libel? Sure. But “war is deceit,” said Muhammad.
