Islamic Aparteid Week as counter to Israel Aparteid Week
Phyllis Chesler suggests Islamic Aparteid Week. It is a suggestion I have made many times in the past.
-
[..] Israeli Apartheid Week? Are you kidding? What we need is Islamic Apartheid Month. Remember that book The Israel Lobby? That scandalous book should have been called The Saudi Lobby because indeed, that’s who is funding Israel Apartheid Week, both financially and ideologically. And we should have Islamic Apartheid month on every campus, coast to coast, at the United Nations, and in every public square. Americans need to be educated. Both Americans and Jewish Americans need to go on the offensive, armed with the truth and no small amount of courage. CAMERA has organized a website which describes Israeli Apartheid Week as a campaign against human rights and monitors it.
For starters: People can start talking about the Islamic world persecution and marginalization of Berbers in Morocco, Christian Copts in Egypt, Kurds in Syria, Palestinians in Lebanon, foreign workers in the Gulf, Shi’ites and Christian tourists in Saudi Arabia, Baluchis, Kurds, Arabs, and Jews in Iran, Christians in Muslim districts in Nigeria — and then there’s the Muslim world persecution and gender segregation of women and the torture and murder of gays, lesbians, and apostates.[..]
Dr. Kedar totally believes that Jews and our allies should hold Islamic Apartheid month and finally start telling the truth about Islam, as opposed to merely defending Israel when it is attacked by lies, bullies, goons, and the genuinely misinformed.
Why not sponsor an Islamic Apartheid day, week, or month in your neck of the woods? Let me know how it goes.
I have written to most of the major activists in the US and to the the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs with this idea starting next year. I’ll keep you posted on the responses I receive.
Yes, fight fire with fire! Hold their religious-political-theocratic worldview and its impact on their own societies–the gender and religious apartheid–up to the light and put them on the defensive. Make comparisons to the treatment of Jews and Christians under Islam to blacks in the Jim Crow South. Talk about slavery in the Islamic world. Talk about Jihad as a means of Arab linguistic and cultural imperialism–how Kurdish language and culture and Berber language and culture and black African language and culture must all disappear in favor of those superior peoples who brought the gift of Islam along with their swords. Embarrass women’s groups, gay rights groups, free speech advocates, the tolerance crowd for becoming silent and cowardly when the people they supposedly stand for are mistreated in the Muslim world. Show the Palestinian Arab and Muslim side for the hypocrites that they are when they talk about human rights in Israel but don’t apply the even minimal standards to themselves where they rule. And rather than hold up the peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan as examples of Israel’s willing to make peace with Arabs who seek peace, use Egyptian and Jordanian incitement to hatred and violence, anti-semitism and violation of agreements as evidence that even the most “moderate” can’t reconcile themselves to coexistence with Israel and don’t keep even the most minimal commitments to which they have put their signature. Portray the current Islamization of Europe as the latest attempt to “colonize” non-Muslim lands. Talk about 70-80 million Hindus killed and the ethnic cleansing of Pakistan of Hindus and others and the miserable atrocities constantly committed against Christians across the Muslim world, from Egypt to Iraq to “moderate” Indonesia. Show quotes from Muslim heads of state like Ibn Saud talking about those who kill Jews going to heaven to Ahmadinejad saying there are no gays in Iran to Muhammad of Malaysia blaming the Jews for inventing human rights so the world would think its wrong to persecute them. Point out al the Nazi-Islamic connections from the Grand Mufti forming the Bosnia SS to the admiration of the Muslim Brotherhood for fascism and even the supposedly “peace-loving” Sadat imprisoned by the British for his Nazi ties and Sadat’s wearing a Nazi tie when he spoke in Jerusalem. Show the amount of money that the Saudis and other rich Arabs have actually contributed to their beloved Palestinians and to other impoverished Arabs and Muslims, or to Muslims suffering from natural disasters. Compare Saudi, UAE, Qatari humanitarian aid to the money spent on Mosques, Maddrassas and in support of jihadi terrorist groups. Show their non-Muslim supporters exactly who it is they are supporting and how this clashes with their stated values, so that they have no choice but to either change their values or stop making common cause with the enemies of Israel. There is so much material out there and so many ways to put them on the defensive. But we have to stop with the “language of dialogue,” stop seeking to validate their narrative and stop fearing that others might not like us for speaking up. We must hold up the enemy to ridicule for their stupid and contradictory beliefs and poke fun at their sacred cows. And we must make it hard for any non-Muslim or any “respectable” professor to support the Islamists without being exposed for violating the basic values that their university is supposed to uphold.
There is no escaping that to win this war, we must make Islam and not “The Palestinians” the issue. The war against Israel is a classic jihad, not a fight between two tiny peoples. We must ask our opponents who bring up these issues basic questions: Does Islam call for the death of those who change their (Muslim) religion? Do Islam call for 2nd class treatment for non-muslims? Does Islam call for jihad until all the world falls under the rule of sharia? Does the whole world belong to Islam? And listen to them stammer and stumble not wanting to denounce the tenets of their own faith but not wanting to let infidels know about their real values, goals and agenda as it is laid out in the Koran, the Hadiths and the Sira. We have to have facts ready to follow up on the usual apologetics and half-truths that they have so long gotten away with offering to naive infidels. You see Islam is a supremacist religion and Muslims believe that their victory is preordained. So far they have had it easy in American and Europe as they have had their temper tantrums indulged and their “grievances” acknowledged, because they have portrayed themselves as victims of racism, colonialism and imperialism and because too many in power on the Left see a willing army they can align with in their fight against capitalism and Western civilization. But you will see how quickly the Muslims will become uncomfortable when they are truly challenged, when they are called on their B.S., when they are put on the spot. They can’t take the heat as they are bullies used to dominating others either through might or intimidation. We know the bully is a coward when the tables are turned. Those that think it is their G-d given right to reign supreme start to lose their confidence when their opponents push back and show they aren’t intimidated and aren’t going down without a fight. I’m not talking about violence, just a refusal to back down and a willingness to take the verbal, rhetorical and intellectual offensive against an enemy that is hoping to defeat us without ever having to fire a shot. There is no way we should not be able to humiliate and demoralize the Islamists in the battle of ideas, if only we are willing to realize that there will never be constructive dialogue and never be mutual recognition and acceptance since we don’t share the same values. That said, it is time to take the verbal gloves off and make them wish they had never open the mouths and defamed the Israel, the Jewish people, all non-Muslims, the United States or Western Civilization. Since they can’t win on the battlefield, are we really going to let them win in the media, through the legal system and in the court of public opinion?
Or, as likely will be the case, We threw a party but nobody came.
Sorry for my pessimism.
Paintings on feathers. This is real as well as beautiful.

The cleaver is women’s rights.
Islamists and liberals should be relentlessly placed on the defensive about the systemic mistreatment of Muslim women.
Rub it in their faces.
Make the liberals constantly justify their support for misogyny.
They love to marginalize dissidents as being “racist”.
Well, as the noted philosopher 4infidels once said, “Fight fire with fire.”
Equate supporting the opponents of Israel with supporting the proponents of genital mutilation and honor killings.
Shouldn’t be too hard, since they are one in the same.
So is this:

We can extend your ideas to other leftist holy cows as well:
The fact that the ethics is indispensable but impossible to formalize opens a way to oppose the leftists. Two millennia
ago, the Sophists developed an approach that won them debates with philosophers who, like modern leftists, tried to
formalize ethics. The Sophists logically extended their opponents’ views to the apparent absurdity.
If gay marriage is permitted, there is no formal reason to prohibit other non-conventional marriages. Why can’t a father
marry his daughter? Why can’t three—or ten, for that matter—people enter into a marriage? Why can’t a person marry his
lovely sheep?
The New Jersey court decided that people are equal and so have an equal right to marry. People are equal regardless of sex but then also regardless of number. Ten people are free to marry into one big happy family. A man is free to marry four women, or to heck with the sharia: even ten women! A person who does not find a human soul mate is still equal to everyone else, and society must protect his right to marriage—even to a dog. Homosexuality is ostensibly a natural urge, but so are zoophilia and necrophilia. Hey, we have a world of marriage opportunities! Drive the liberals nuts, file the papers with your local court to marry a few female pals, and a dog. Drive the leftist ideas over the edge. Let formal justice face the consequences of its silliness.
