Robert Spencer video series: Basics of Islam. Video 1. “Islamophobia”
This video has been posted at this site before of course but a bunch of us volunteers have decided to pitch in and do a minor rosetta project on it as we feel, along with Robert Spencer, that not just English people need to be able to see this information.
I will post the links to the languages we have as they get done here with the request that readers of this site that know people who speak only these languages, could please send them the links. Especially if you know people who run Islam-critical sites in these languages.
We still need French for this video by the way.
Here are the links we have done so far:
Please feel free to copy these links and send them to whomever you feel needs to see them in those languages. I will post new ones as they appear here. Perhaps also we can summon the energy to also do the second video in the series, already published in English.
Here is the original in English.
Anyone interested in doing a translation for titles please leave a comment under this post and I will arrange to get you a timed transcription in English.
Combatting Islamophobia by understanding Islam in the here and now
One way to combat Islamophobia, is to understand the difference between classical Islam, and what takes place in Canadian mosques is to look at what Imams right here in Canada say in the 21st century.
Here is a brief look. I hope it helps assuage our fear of Islam.

Adolf Hollande accused of anti-muslim plot
Original Translation by Bear
from 20min Switzerland
A Moroccan daily paper has photoshopped the French president into Adolph Hitler. The paper details how Francois Hollande is preparing the extermination of muslims.
The Arabic Moroccan daily (Al Watan al An) wanted to shock and it did:
Three days after the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, in one sedition on the 29th of Jan. Francois Hollande is disguised as Adolph Hitler more truly than nature: Small mustache, dressed as Nazi and Nazi armband.
Beside the picture, the title in Arabic allows people to think: “Will the French recreate the concentration camps of Hitler to exterminate the Muslims?”
The Moroccan French weekly, (Telquel) has questioned the director of the publication, Al Watan al An, of this choice of scoop. “It is very lightly against the French president. He deserves worse. The French government does not ensure the security of Muslim citizens in France as is the case for the Jewish community”
(Arabic name) “The journalist rejects the responsibility of the many anti-islam acts, 128 acts took place in the last 2 weeks representing almost as many as in the year 2014 total, following the attacks in Paris towards the French government. Many places of muslim worship are attacked daily without it bothering the French authorities”.
[another comment same guy]
That sees the left and the French right in competition to see who will cause the most damage to the muslim community, goes as far as saying that the French is preparing the country to deprive the muslims of roofs over their heads and employment if it continues this way.
Telquel reminds that this article and this scoop could fall under the code of the Moroccan press according to article 52, ‘offense publicly committed against a chief of state and their dignity, a chief of government, ministers of foreign affairs of foreign nations, will be punished by imprisonment of one month to one year and a fine of 10,000 to 100,000 Dirhams or one of the two sentences only.

Graffiti at Pau Mosque: imam admits to being the author
Original Translation by C. B. Sashenka
From this French news site:
The graffiti had caused a deep stir, at the end of October. (Mark Zirnheld Archives PP)
The police had opened an investigation after the discovery of insulting graffiti in green paint towards the end of October on the mosque of Pau, avenue of Buros.
No trail led anywhere, until Wednesday, the author spontaneously came to give himself up to the police (perhaps stricken with remorse?): he is the imam himself. Employee of the religious association, this man in his fifties would have thus acted in the context of an internal settling of scores.
He is called to court next January 8th for an appearance based on plea bargaining.
Ned May at OSCE on definition of terms, Islamophobia etc.
First video to come from OCSE conference. Side event on ‘Islamophobia’
Here is the first video of a series of quite a few which will come from this event over the next weeks.
This was only an audio file, so we matched speakers to the voices and named them. Notice the misdirection used to try and let the term ‘Islamophobia’ be used as an actionable term to attack legitimate critics of Islam and its dogma.
Thank you Ned, Henrik and many others who have worked hard and used lots of precious personal resources to make sure that someone countered these attempts to destroy free expression and criticism of irrational religious authority.
A more complete explanation of what this is exactly and what it means is up up at Gates now.. For anyone who wishes to hear the entire side event unabridged please click here for the complete 45 minute session.
Islamophobic Graffiti Suspect Arrested
Original Translation by Anon with thanks!
H/T M
from Le Figaro
One suspect was arrested this evening in relation to numerous islamophobic inscriptions that were discovered today in the city of à Avignon, most notably on the property of the Palais des Papes (Popes’ Palace). Avignon City Hall reported graffiti had been spray-painted in red letters near the entrance to the Palace with the words ‘Mohamet the profet was a pig’. At least seven other inscriptions were found of the same nature in various areas of the city.
Shortly after midnight, a ‘municipal police patrol’ witnessed and arrested an individual spray-painting in front of the Banque de France, according to City Hall. Camera surveillance had recorded the individual spray-painting on the left side of the entrance of the Palais des Papes. The deputy prosecutor for the City of Avignon confirms the man arrested is Thierry Villardo, an Italian citizen born in 1982 and who was just passing through Avignon, is currently being held in custody.
“He explains that following an argument with Maghreb nationals, he bought spray-paint cans. He is not a racist or xenophobic individual by nature on a regular basis, but however he was upset.” A Court appearance is scheduled for tomorrow. The Palais des Papes and Avignon City Hall as well as the Banque de France put in a complaint for vandalism. Abdallah Zekri, President of the Observatory of Islamophobia within the French Muslim Council (CFCM), also announced today their intention of putting forth a complaint for inciting racial hatred.

The TRUTH about the ‘wave of attacks’ on Muslims after Woolwich killing: Most of the incidents recorded were offensive messages on Facebook and Twitter
Daily Mail:
- More than half of incidents reported to hotline were internet comments
- Questioned raised about the way Tell Mama project presented figures
PUBLISHED: 23:16 GMT, 2 June 2013 | UPDATED: 07:07 GMT, 3 June 2013
Claims that large numbers of Muslims were attacked in the aftermath of the Woolwich murder were questioned yesterday.
A Government-funded project warned it had received more than 200 reports of Islamophobia following Drummer Lee Rigby’s murder, including attacks on mosques and Muslim women.
Project director Fiyaz Mughal said the figure represented a ‘substantial spike’ in hate crimes and warned of ‘a sustained wave of attacks and intimidation’ against Muslim communities across Britain.
Two men, both reportedly soldiers, have been arrested in connection with a petrol bomb attack on the Grimsby Islamic Cultural Centre since the killing of Lee Rigby
But more than half of the incidents reported to the Tell Mama (Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks) hotline related to offensive messages on Twitter, Facebook or online blogs, and only a tiny minority were physical attacks, it has emerged.
The claims raised questions about the way Tell Mama presented its figures in the days after Drummer Rigby’s murder, amid repeated calls for calm to avoid reprisal attacks.
Mr Mughal said Tell Mama had received 162 reports of anti-Muslim prejudice in a 48-hour period.
Man held over “racist” comments on Muslim prayer centre
Shropshire Star:
A man in his 20s has been arrested in connection with alleged racist comments made on the internet about the planned Muslim prayer centre in Shrewsbury, police revealed this afternoon
The man was held on suspicion of using words or carrying out behaviour likely to stir up racial hatred in connection with comments made on a social media site about the centre. He is currently on police bail as inquiries continue.
Police have also confirmed they are carrying out a full investigation into complaints about alleged offensive and racist comments made on a Facebook page regarding the prayer centre, which is being planned for Column Lodge in Preston Street.
The arrest was made last Thursday, but only made public this afternoon.
A message to Winnipeg Mosques
It seems as if the call went out to the various Islamic groups in North America. ‘Always use the word, ”faith” when referring to motives of muslim terrorists and mass murderers to deflect from the fact that it is always, and I mean always, islam where religion is a motive.
When Christians are blown up in their houses of worship on a Sunday in Nigeria it is not “faith” that motivates the killers.
When Copts are attacked by raging mobs in Egypt who want death or destruction or the rape of a young girl in the Christian community there, it isn’t “faith” that motivates the mob.
When over twenty thousand actions designed to kill as many people as possible or destroy as much property or history, it isn’t “faith” that motivates them.
When weapons and false documents are found in buildings that are alleged to be houses of worship in the way most of the worlds people think of a church or temple, it is never a church or a temple.
It is always a mosque, and the motive is always Islam. So stop pretending to be the victims.
And be advised Winnipeg mosques…
We are on to you.
