Muslims More Islamophobic Than Most Americans -

MUSLIMS MORE ISLAMOPHOBIC. 35% of US Arab Muslims believe that Muslims have more violent trends. At the same time, 24% of Muslims in general also believe they have more violent tendencies . 23% of Arab Muslims say that “most Muslims living in the US are hostile to the US. And 19% of Muslims in general do.

Moreover, 34% of Arab Muslims call Muslims less civilized than others. 19% of Muslims in general do. But only 5% of Americans in general say so.

Why? Jihad Watch says “Muslim immigrants are more likely to be tracking the news in their own home countries.” But “Americans are paying attention to the national news.”

The Satanic Verses fatwa

However, the stabbing of Mumbai-born prizewinning novelist Salman Rushdie made national news. After he wrote The Satanic Verses in 1988, the Ayatollah Khomeini placed a fatwa on him. Such a fatwa orders his execution, since Khomeini called blasphemous the novel’s allegation that pagan verses almost made it into the Quran. Then a 1989 assassination attempt failed. Instead, it killed the suicide bomber and destroyed two floors of a hotel.

But last month, 33 years later, a stabbing attack in Chautauqua, NY put Rushdie in the hospital. It happened just as Rushdie stepped onstage to speak on protections for exiled writers. He is still going through a lengthy recovery while his Shiite Lebanese attacker remains behind bars.

Many Muslims have escaped to the US from endless bloody Arab wars. There after jihadists purge or subjugate infidels, they often turn against other jihadists. As Jihad Watch says, radical Islam “was born out of violence, derives its moral authority from violence and cannot exist in the absence of violence.” Because many satanic verses remain in the Quran which authorize such violence. Such as “Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you” (4:89).
