Islamophobia Quotes

“The rich ruling class has used tribalism, a primitive caveman instinct, to their advantage since the beginning of time. They use it to divide and conquer us. They drive wedges between us peasants and make us fight each other, so we won’t rise up against our rulers and fight them. You can observe the same old trick everywhere in America today: Red states and blue states are fighting. Christians and Muslims are fighting. Men and women are fighting. Baby Boomers and Millennials are fighting. Black people and white people are fighting. That doesn’t just happen all by itself. There are always voices instigating these fights.”

“Through the sacred verses filled with violence and self-righteousness, the minds of the angry individuals find a way to get rid of all their misery. At that unstable state of consciousness, they are drawn to the description of the Holy War. They visualize a glimmer of hope. They feel absolutely immersed in it. Finally when they emerge as holy warriors, they are no longer humans, from the emotional perspective. They emerge as wild beasts, neurologically almost unable to feel human emotions, like empathy, love, kindness and compassion. Consequently the whole world faces the wrath of the most primitive of all human elements in the name of God’s judgment.”

“La delincuencia invadía todo; cada vez era más frecuente que grupos de jóvenes atacaran a los viandantes en pleno día, en mitad de los centros comerciales. En cuanto a la vida nocturna, ni soñar con ella; hacía mucho tiempo que las mujeres no se atrevían a salir solas después de la puesta del sol. El integrismo islámico había adquirido proporciones alarmantes; después de Londres, Bruselas se había convertido ahora en un santuario terrorista. En las calles, en las plazas cada vez eran más numerosas las mujeres con velo.”

“kita menjadi kabilah yang diburu dan dijadikan penjahat seperti kaum Musa as oleh agama yang kita pegang dan junjung dengan percaya dijadikan syariat dan jalan kebenaran; cahaya dan penyuluh sedang mereka dengan keangkuhan dan kesombongan Firaun menjulang pedang tajam kebebasan serta tombak kenihilan untuk merobek agama dan kebenaran Tuhan yang kita miliki atas nama hak asasi manusia, kesamarataan dan kebebasan berfikir maka al-Quran mereka jadikan buku dari tangan manusia yang boleh ditafsir akal sesuka hati dan dimaknakan semahunya suara-suara mereka lagi mengatakan bahawa nabi-nabi hanya mitos yang dicipta oleh agama - maksum itu hanya dongeng dan Islam adalah nama yang diberikan warna penuh kelabu untuk dilihat dengan penuh sinis dan prasangka gelap. (Perjalanan 2)”

“Arabi Azadi Ashiqui (The Sonnet) The more you persecute a certain community, the more you'll find me your fiercest enemy. Defending that community with my last breath, I shall remind you of your own utter futility. The more you dehumanize a certain people, more you'll find me your uncorrupt impediment. The people will be safe, even if I'm annihilated - In the process, world will witness your impotence. More you criminalize a certain community, more in my eyes you lose right to dignity. Honor is earned through behavior, not by excuse of throne, scripture or nationality. Systemically propagate fear all you want - In the end, you're at mercy of my civilian judgment. Belonging is my bible, conscience is my koran - Behave like a bully, and I'm your celestial guardian. Whenever intolerance raises its fangs, hiding behind menorah, saffron or crucifix, Every Samaritan must become Samurai - Every Civilian - Arabi, Azadi, Ashiqui!”

“Flying while Muslim is nerve-racking in itself. Every time I prepare to fly, I have to make sure the anxiety I feel from all the stares I get from the moment I walk into the airport doesn't show on my face. This is what every woman in a hijab or bearded Muslim man experiences. But we are not alone: Sikh men who wear a turban experience the same anxiety because they encounter Islamophobia by dint of being perceived as Muslim.”

“There is no doubt that this fusion of terrorist and Muslim feeds virulent forms of Islamophobia, which is also encouraged by such incidents as the Westgate Mall massacre in Nairobi and the Anglican Church bombing in Pakistan. 9/11 greatly intensified this tendency toward fusion, but it had also been nurtured by Israeli propaganda that portrayed their Palestinian and Arab adversaries as "terrorists." In fact, the US government approach after 9/11 was modeled in many of its features on Israeli tactics developed during the long occupation of Palestine.”
