Islamophobia appears to be growing in the west, as does the number of false flag atrocities attributed by the commercially-controlled media to "Islamic terrorists".

Official narrative
Officially, discrimination according to religion, like racism, is not tolerated. However, it has no particular legal backing to distinguish it from other religious prejudice, and unlike "anti-semitism" it is rare that it is used as grounds for action.
Public perceptions
The general (non-Muslim) public in many countries (especially in the US) are very ill informed about Islam.Even in countries with a significant Muslim population, since it is often very localised, people lack experience of Muslims and fall back on what they think they know from the commercially-controlled media's reporting. As a result, while Europol estimates that <1% of acts of "terrorism" in Europe are committed by "Islamic terrorists", public estimates of this proportion are as high as 50%.[1]

The corporate media's lack of serious efforts to challenge islamophobia arguably amount to an endorsement of it. To pick an important example, the Corporate media in Western countries was quick to repeat the US government's official narrative about the 19 Muslim hijackers without subjecting it to any critical scrutiny (even to the point of not checking whether these people did in fact die on that day).[2] In 2016, a UK national newspaper was the first to express doubt about the highly dubious official narrative of the "19 hijackers".[3]
Some corporate media have squarely addressed the incorrect equation of Islam with terrorism, such as a Huffington Post article from December 20915, entitled "Muslims Are Not Terrorists: A Factual Look at Terrorism and Islam".[4] However, by and large, the corporate media, directed by official government sources,[1] are very quick to Islam with terrorism, as if to establish a connection between the two. It is very rare that it does this with Christianity, Judaism or other religions. As former NSA director, William Odom observed:
“Terrorism cannot be defeated because it’s not an enemy, it’s a tactic. A war against Al Qaida is sensible and supportable, but a war against a tactic is ludicrous and hurtful... a propaganda ploy to swindle others into supporting one’s own terrorism ... and encourages prejudices against Muslims everywhere. What if we said “Catholic Christian IRA hitmen” ?”
William Odom (2006) [citation needed]

Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism

In 1979, a conference was held in Jerusalem, attended by a senior deep politicians and experts in false flag terror. It claimed to convene in order to "". An alternative school of thought, proposed by researchers such as Nafeez Ahmed suggests that this was a crucial event in the establishment of "[terrorism]]" in general, and "Islamic terrorism" in particular as an alternative enemy for the MICC, which was concerned about a potential outbreak of peace if the empire of the USSR were to decline (as happened a decade later).Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;

Exploitation by lawmakers
The 21st century has seen nation states ratchet up mass surveillance and decrease the civil liberties of their domestic populations. While the supranational deep state has long engaged in such practices with impunity, since 1979 it has been exploiting Islamophobia to try to win public support for legalising existing practices and to further expand means of control.
The deep state arranges false flag terror events as a means of reinforcing the enemy image of the "Islamic terrorist". This is followed by the introduction of stricter laws that increase the rights of the authorities, nominally in an effort to oppose such attacks. Generally these are couched in deliberately vague language which lacks a proper definition. The implication that these new laws will only be used against these "enemies" is duplicitous; once enacted, they are applied to the population in general.

| Peter Hoekstra | “A Dutch journalist just asked new U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra why he said there are “no go” areas in the Netherlands, where radical Muslims are setting cars and politicians on fire. Hoekstra denied it, and called the claim “fake news.” The report cut to a video clip of Hoekstra at a 2015 conference hosted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center saying: “The Islamic movement has now gotten to a point where they have put Europe into chaos. Chaos in the Netherlands, there are cars being burned, there are politicians that are being burned.” “And yes, there are no-go zones in the Netherlands,” he added in the clip. Then things got extremely weird. When the reporter pressed, Hoekstra denied using the term “fake news,” which he'd uttered moments before “I didn’t call that fake news,” he said. “I didn’t use the words today. I don’t think I did.”” | Peter Hoekstra Amanda Erickson | 22 December 2017 |
