Combatting the Muslims-as-Victims Meme
Hardly a week goes by without a newspaper article or a public service announcement that depicts Muslims as victims of bigotry or Islamophobia. FBI statistics actually show that Jews are ten times more likely to be victims of religious hatred than Muslims. The latest example of this defense of Muslims-as-Victims is a Public Service Announcement being distributed in Boston, San Francisco, and New York.
While some individual Muslims may be seen as victims of their own ideology, it is easy to make the case that Muslim leadership in the U.S. are actually the aggressors in the cultural clash between Islam and the rest of the community:
Leaders mandate Sharia Law which is in direct conflict with the provisions of the U.S. Constitution
Sharia Law insists that Muslims should not assimilate or emulate non-Muslims.
Leaders urge Muslims, don’t cooperate with law enforcement
Leaders use “lawfare” to circumvent local zoning laws implemented to prevent urban blight.
Leaders demand special concessions in public schools, including halal menus, prayer rooms, and Islamic holidays even when Muslims are a minority in the school.
Leaders demand prayer breaks for Muslim workers at factories, even though this is not a requirement of Sharia Law.
So perhaps it would be more realistic and rational to remind the public that Muslims are the perpetrators of greater violence than the so-called Islamophobes. Here are a couple of alternate posters for Boston and the other cities based on actual Islamic terrorist incidents:

Of course, other cities have aligned with Muslims-as-Victims, even when the Muslim is the perpetrator. Here is a poster for Minneapolis, where a bystander was shot by a Muslim cop after calling for help from 911:

If there are any Muslims still reading my article, here is my advice to you:
Most of you (or your parents) left your native country because it was a failed state. Yet you bring with you the principal element of that failed state – adherence to Sharia Law. In 1400 years since Muhammad there has not been a single country that exhibited the stated ideals of an Islamic society, namely, equality, justice, and peace. The promise of such a society is actually becoming more remote and impossible, as the greatest number of victims of Islamic violence is among Muslims themselves. The United States is a country where freedom of religion is guaranteed and protected by the rule of law. You can choose among liberal versions of Islam, many more liberated religions, or no religion at all. Stop being a victim, and choose freedom instead.
Notes:
Here are the sources documenting the aggressive actions by Muslim leaders:
Leaders mandate Sharia Law which is in direct conflict with the provisions of the U.S. Constitution. See: http://the-american-catholic.com/2010/06/25/sharia-law-and-the-u-s-constitution/
Sharia Law insists that Muslims should not assimilate or emulate non-Muslims. Al-Misri, Reliance of the Traveller, states in paragraph e4.11(2), “It is unbelief (kufr) to turn from the sunna (cumulative tradition based on Muhammad’s example) in order to imitate non-Muslims when one believes their way to be superior to the sunna.”
Leaders urge Muslims, don’t cooperate with law enforcement. See: https://www.wackbag.com/threads/c-a-i-r-to-muslims-dont-cooperate.132034/
Leaders use “lawfare” to circumvent local zoning laws implemented to prevent urban blight.

See also Al-Misri, Reliance of the Traveller, paragraph f15.18(5) which states, [Prayers may be skipped and joined with others] “when someone . . . fears harm in earning his living if he does not join prayers.”

We didn’t stop ridiculing Nazis just because we felt they will be more drawn into NAZISM.
We should mock Muslims & Nazis by calling them RACISTS. Any one who respects a slave owner(Muhammad) as PROPHET aka perfect man deserves ridicule.
It is not acceptable to respect a slave owner as a prophet PERIOD.
Americans who engage in the harassment of Muslims are not only rude ,they are also rude idiots . For calling Muslims names ,such as “rag heads” will only do harm and never good. For that will only antagonize them make them feel persecuted and possibly driven them into the fold of Islamic terrorism. Islam is indeed a problem but Muslims are not Islam and likewise the harassment of Muslim in not the way to handle the topic of Islam. People in harass other are people of little to no intelligence. For intelligent people use reason as well as logic and not rudeness and hate to deal with a subject . Any subject .Including the subject of Islam.
Just to give only one example of how not to and how to handle the topic of Islam ,which in this example in Islam’s “holy book” the Quran . is not to ,ever, burn the Quran . For any idiot can burn a book. That is a very unintelligent thing to do . In great contrast an intelligent way to handle the subject of the Quran in by the use of logic and reason . In the sense of answering the claims of Muslim apologist for the Quran in a rational and intelligent way by reason and logic. As the following short essay is an example of this.
A claim by Islamic scholars as well as jihadists is that no one can produce something as beautiful as the Quran in the way the words are arranged and thus it can only be of God. This claim should be answered.
First, all someone has to do is examine some of the great works of literature to fine much written beauty. Such as the Greek epic poet Homer with his Iliad and Odyssey and then Virgil who produced the Aeneid has beauty. Even one of the non-Bible books in the Apocrypha called The Song of Three Children is also very beautiful. Thus just because someone sees a work that is written in great beauty doesn’t mean it’s inspired by God.
Second, the scholar Edward Gibbon wrote after an examination of the Quran that it is an “incoherent jumble of fable and precept and declamation which seldom excites a sentiment or an idea, sometimes craws in the dust and is sometimes lost in the clouds…” The writer Thomas Carlyle wrote the Quran is “A wearisome jumble, crude, incondite [with] endless iterations [and] long-windedness…” Likewise, the philosopher David Hume was NOT favorably impressed after reading the Quran.
[Source of the three scholars mentioned – Secrets of The Koran: Revealing Insight Into Islam’s Holy Book .56,66, by Don Richardson]
Furthermore, the following should be taken into consideration. Of course the Muslim who reads the Quran will see great beauty in the way the words are arranged. This is, in part, because of the power of suggestion after being told so many times that the Quran is so beautifully written. That’s an old brainwashing method, repeating and being told that same thing again and again. Since he or she is always being told the same lie will end up believing that lie. In addition to that, the Imams try to discourage their people from reading other works, such as the Bible, so then they don’t have much or anything to compare or contrast the Quran with. Of course there are some Muslim’s that do read other works, but they are exceptions and they read other things only after they were already brainwashed by the Imams. In short, the Muslims can’t read the Quran objectively because their Imams have programmed them to have a strong bias towards it.
