Think You May Be Suffering From Islamophobia? Take This Test
Over 80 percent of US terror convictions since 9/11 involved radical Islamism, according to a Department of Justice report. Shocker:
You know how it is. You’re casually conversing in ‘polite company’ and mention something about terrorism and Islam in the same phrase. It isn’t going to be long before someone deploys the ‘Islamophobia™’ grenade. Usually this will be followed by the Tiny Minority of Extremists™ conversation-stopper.
Well, choke with guilt and self-loathing no more! Begone with mealy-mouthed backpedalling! You might just be the right side of normal, after all.
More than 80 percent of all convictions tied to international terrorist groups and homegrown terrorism since 9/11 involve defendants driven by a radical Islamist agenda, a review of US Department of Justice statistics shows.
Though Muslims represent about 1 percent of the American population, they constitute defendants in 186 of the 228 cases DOJ lists.
An analysis by US counter-terror organisation The Investigative Project on Terrorism involved reviewing the Justice Department’s list of more than 400 successful terrorism-related prosecutions from Sept. 11, 2001, through March 18, 2010.
Those cases that demonstrated defendants with a clear Islamist agenda were placed in that category, while those without a clear tie to radical Islam were excluded. In some cases, defendants with Arabic-sounding names were excluded from the Islamist category, because no definitive tie could be made.
Now, we’ve always maintained the argument that if you break down the ‘Islamophobia’ neologism to its component parts, you get ‘fear of Islam’.
From these statistics alone (although additionally supported by hundreds of thousands of articles about actual Islamic terror attacks, violence and supremacism, including several hundred from this blog alone), you soon realise that there actually is something substantial to be fearful of.
It is human nature to fear threats. Therefore ‘Islamophobia’ is in fact a perfectly rational fear – a truth that is supported by substantive evidence.
Still think you’re Islamophobic? We hope so.

a reader on Un:dhimmi's site submitted the following letter as an example, to be used, to support Rep. King and the hearings on Islamization of Radical Islam in America:

In re: ISLAMIC TERROR HEARINGS
Dear Congressman King,
Please continue with the Hearings and do not be deterred from fact finding. It is most URGENT that these hearings takes place and that the dots are connected and made public. The Investigative Project, CAMERA, Middle East Forum, Hudson Institute, Pam Geller, etc., etc., ALL must be heeded. The facts are real, on the ground and time is running out to preserve a western type democracy and an American Constitution that really is humankind’s last best hope for Freedom and Democratic Secular ideals.
There is an expression in arabic and expresses a consistent course of political and religious behavior for Islam : “al- wala’ w’al-bara”. It deals with loyalty to either the state or Islam and Islam must be chosen for Muslims. The problem is the Qu’ran and concepts of duality and abrogation. The problem is that the majority of Muslims profess Islam in it’s totality and are ignorant of what they profess (“true Islam is spoken in Arabic”). If you google the above term and read it and ask Congressman Ellison what that means, his answer will have to be illogical (or mere taqiyah) – to be a good Muslim, one must follow the Qu’ran exactly – no deviation is possible, hence no reformation is possible as did take place in all other great religions (after about 1400 years) – allegiance is to Allah and not the state. To be a good Muslim you must therefore adhere to jihad and the teachings and fatwas, etc. It gets tiring. Islamic extremism is therefore consistent with the Qu’ran – later teachings out rule the earlier – the violent over the “peaceful”. This can not be tolerated in America – political Islam cannot be separated from religious Islam – it’s like Nazism all over again – THAT is the problem.
Please note that the Ikhwan Islam (Brotherhood) documents in the Holyland Foundation Trial (5th Cir Ct. Of Apps, Texas) are most illustrative of what the US government is up against and the need to take action and “weed out” those in government who would overthrow our government, our way of life and our proud American jurisprudence, all for antithetical Islamic jurisprudence and Shariah Law – the lists of “brother” organizations in America in that court evidence is astounding and scary.
My letter will not be “P.C.” – I will say this clearly: it is the verses in the Qu’ran which drive extremism. Period. It is the verses in the Qu’ran which cannot be changed (al-wala’ w’al-bara), hence they must be obeyed. The Qu’ran commands the faithful to destroy the kuffar and demand jiyza, that is us.
I applaud you, your gumption and your actions. Please stay the course and ignore the race baiters and haters.
Yours in Freedom and American Constitutional Exceptionalism,
Sincerely,
