Zou dat waar zijn? Daarom dit dossier over de gevolgen van de Ji- had, die worden zichtbaar gemaakt door te onderzoeken hoe de Islam is verspreid. Omdat de samensteller van dit dossier in de Nederlandse taal geen chronologische geschie- denis van de Islam kon vinden heeft hij zelf een chronologie samengesteld, gebruikmakend van bronnen die vooral uit het Engelstalige gebied afkomstig zijn. Doordat van deze bron- nen er bijna geen enkele in het Nederlands is vertaald, waarbij we maar in het midden laten af dat misschien opzettelijk is, is deze informatie in zijn chronologische samenhang voor de meeste Nederlanders grotendeels onbekend. Dit dossier is een poging om in dit hiaat te voorzien. Het dossier gaat echter niet alleen over de geschiedenis van de Islam en de Jihad maar ook over de invloed die deze ideologie vandaag op de wereld heeft. Daarbij wordt speciaal ge- keken naar Europa en het Midden Oosten. Ook wordt de houding van Europa tegenover de islamitische wereld belicht en de uitwerking daarvan op de rest van de wereld. Ook hier is veelvuldig gebruik gemaakt van wat anderen al eerder schreven, zowel in boeken als in de pers en op het Internet. Van de Islam wordt alleen de ideologische kant belicht, want dit dossier gaat over de gevolgen van de islamitische ideologie en slechts over de islamitische religie, voorzover deze de ideologie verklaart. Geschiedenis wordt tegenwoordig vaak thematisch verteld. Het bezwaar daarvan is dat de grote lijnen ondersneeuwen. Men krijgt geen inzicht in de structuur van de gebeurtenissen; men ziet de patronen niet duidelijk meer en men is vooral blind voor de continuïteiten die er in de geschiedenis zijn. Daarom is het materiaal dat onder andere in Wikiislam.com is gevonden, samen met het materiaal uit andere bronnen, chronologisch gerangschikt en ver- telt het een doorlopend verhaal. Men volgt de islamitische veroveraars en degenen die zich tegen hen moesten verweren in de berichten die in het verleden over hen zijn gedocumen- teerd. De samensteller geeft meestal geen interpretatie van deze informatie, maar hij vindt dat de chronologie van de Jihad wel een duidelijk patroon vertoont, namelijk dat de Islam niet zal rusten voor gehele de wereld is veroverd! Het dossier bestaat voor een deel uit vertaalde en navertelde informatie, omdat een verhaal over geschiedenis onvermijdelijk gebaseerd is op wat anderen er over hebben vastgelegd; want anders dan bij een roman kun je de geschiedenis nu eenmaal niet verzinnen. Het ver- haal is waar dat mogelijk is geïllustreerd met verslagen van ooggetuigen; deze verslagen komen uit de geraadpleegde bronnen, die ze weer uit oudere bronnen citeren. Het geheel dat hier is ontstaan, stemt niet tot vrolijkheid want de samensteller had wel een vermoeden dat er het een en ander was gebeurd, maar hij had niet verwacht dat het een dergelijk inkt- zwart en schokkend verhaal zou worden. Het vormt stof tot nadenken want de meeste men- sen zijn zich niet bewust van de grote gevaren die ons bedreigen 6 7 “Europa slaapwandelt zijn ondergang tegemoet!” [Ayaan Hirsi Ali, “Nomade”, 2010] 7 8 Inhoud Voorwoord 5 Inhoud 7 1.

  • Chapter 4 the Right-Wing Media Enablers of Anti-Islam Propaganda
    Chapter 4 The right-wing media enablers of anti-Islam propaganda Spreading anti-Muslim hate in America depends on a well-developed right-wing media echo chamber to amplify a few marginal voices. The think tank misinforma- tion experts and grassroots and religious-right organizations profiled in this report boast a symbiotic relationship with a loosely aligned, ideologically-akin group of right-wing blogs, magazines, radio stations, newspapers, and television news shows to spread their anti-Islam messages and myths. The media outlets, in turn, give members of this network the exposure needed to amplify their message, reach larger audiences, drive fundraising numbers, and grow their membership base. Some well-established conservative media outlets are a key part of this echo cham- ber, mixing coverage of alarmist threats posed by the mere existence of Muslims in America with other news stories. Chief among the media partners are the Fox News empire,1 the influential conservative magazine National Review and its website,2 a host of right-wing radio hosts, The Washington Times newspaper and website,3 and the Christian Broadcasting Network and website.4 They tout Frank Gaffney, David Yerushalmi, Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson, and others as experts, and invite supposedly moderate Muslim and Arabs to endorse bigoted views. In so doing, these media organizations amplify harm- ful, anti-Muslim views to wide audiences. (See box on page 86) In this chapter we profile some of the right-wing media enablers, beginning with the websites, then hate radio, then the television outlets. The websites A network of right-wing websites and blogs are frequently the primary movers of anti-Muslim messages and myths.

  • Re-Narrating Europe in the Face of Populism: an Analysis of the Anti-Immigration Discourse of Populist Party Leaders
    RE-NARRATING EUROPE IN THE FACEARTICLE OF POPULISM: AN ANALYSIS OF THE ANTI-IMMIGRATION DISCOURSE OF POPULIST PARTY LEADERS Re-narrating Europe in the Face of Populism: An Analysis of the Anti-immigration Discourse of Populist Party Leaders SERTAN AKBABA* ABSTRACT Populist discourse is gaining more and more ground in Europe. As evidenced by the growing success of radical right wing parties, a ubiquitous right wing populism is haunting Europe. This populist discourse is a counter to the long-standing narratives of Europe. Clearly, with the alarming growth rate of the politics of fear and hatred, Europe is in contradiction with its own core values. It is the consistent and mainstream positioning of populist dis- course, establishing itself in the name of protecting European identity. This argument is tested upon a case study of right wing populist party leaders’ anti-immigration discourse from the Netherlands, Finland, Italy and Hun- gary; these narratives, which were once perceived as marginal, are currently occupying and dominating the national and European discourse. Introduction n a recent article, Rogers Brubaker, a well-known scholar of nationalism stud- ies, poses the question, ‘why is civilization replacing the nation?’ The scope Iof this study is not to answer this question, but the inquiry remains valuable in an era of ‘Europe for Europeans’ rhetoric led by the populist parties in Eu- rope. The rising tide of populism brings us to focus on this “civilizationism.”1 In 2011, Anders Breivik killed out people by detonating a van bomb in Oslo, then shot 69 participants to death in a Worker’s Youth League summer camp.

  • How Its Jewish Communal Fund Supports Anti-Muslim Hate Groups
    The Shame of the UJA-Federation of New York HOW ITS JEWISH COMMUNAL FUND SUPPORTS ANTI-MUSLIM HATE GROUPS NOVEMBER 28, 2018 The Jewish Communal Fund (JCF), the funding arm of the UJA-Federation of New York (UJA-Federation), has for years funded a host of anti-Muslim hate groups—contributing more than $2 million to six such groups just in 2013-2017. While JCF is understandably proud of its funding of numerous community, health, and other such organizations, it seems decidedly reluctant to call public attention to its support for these Islamophobic groups. We call upon the JCF to make a firm, public commitment to stop contributing to these anti-Muslim groups and to others that share their ideology. Introduction Today, Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, which have long histories in the U.S., are more blatant and dangerous than ever. After more than a decade of post-9/11 Bush and Obama administration policies of surveillance and deportation of Muslims, the current Administration under President Trump is greatly accelerating anti-Muslim policies. In this context, Muslims and those perceived as Muslims are facing increased Islamophobic attacks, including threats to mosques and Muslim community centers, harassment of women in hijab, and other public attacks, beatings, shootings, and arson. We need to oppose Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate in all its forms. We know that many Jewish organizations have joined Muslim communities to challenge Islamophobia. Being true partners requires that our words are consistent with our actions, which is why we are particularly concerned that the funding arm of a major Jewish organization has for years funded a host of anti-Muslim hate groups.

  • Antisemitism in Today's America
    Alvin H. Rosenfeld Antisemitism in Today’sAmerica LeonardDinnerstein’s Antisemitism in America,published in 1994,remains the most comprehensive and authoritative studyofits subject to date. In his book’sfinal sentence, however,Dinnerstein steps out of his role as areliable guide to the past and ventures aprediction about the future that has proven to be seriously wrong.Antisemitism, he concludes, “has declinedinpotency and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.”¹ In the years since he for- mulated this optimistic view,antisemitism in America,far from declining,has been on the rise, as Iwill aim to demonstrate. Ibegin with apersonal anecdote. During alecture visit to Boca Raton, Florida,inJanuary 2017,Iattended religious services at one of the city’slarge synagogues and was surprised to see heavy security outside and inside the building. “What’sgoing on?” Iasked afellow worshipper. “Nothing special,” he replied, “having these guys here is just normal these days.” It didn’tstrike me as normal, especiallyinAmerica.From visitstosynago- gues in Europe, Iamused to seeing security guards in place—mostlypolicemen but,inFrance, sometimes also soldiers. As targets of ongoing threats, Europe’s Jews need such protection and have come to relyonit. Whysuch need exists is clear: Europe has along history of antisemitism,and, in recent years, it has be- come resurgent—in manycases, violentlyso. European Jews are doing,then, what they can and must do to defend them- selvesagainst the threats they face. Some, fearing still worse to come, have left their homecountries for residence elsewhere; others are thinking about doing the same. Most remain, but apprehensively,and some have adopted ways to mute their Jewish identities to avert attention from themselves.

    HOOVER DIGEST RESEARCH + OPINION ON PUBLIC POLICY SUMMER 2019 NO.3 THE HOOVER INSTITUTION • STANFORD UNIVERSITY The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace was established at Stanford University in 1919 by Herbert Hoover, a member of Stanford’s pioneer graduating class of 1895 and the thirty-first president of the United States. Created as a library and repository of documents, the Institution approaches its centennial with a dual identity: an active public policy research center and an internationally recognized library and archives. The Institution’s overarching goals are to: » Understand the causes and consequences of economic, political, and social change » Analyze the effects of government actions and public policies » Use reasoned argument and intellectual rigor to generate ideas that nurture the formation of public policy and benefit society Herbert Hoover’s 1959 statement to the Board of Trustees of Stanford University continues to guide and define the Institution’s mission in the twenty-first century: This Institution supports the Constitution of the United States, its Bill of Rights, and its method of representative government. Both our social and economic sys- tems are based on private enterprise, from which springs initiative and ingenuity. Ours is a system where the Federal Government should undertake no govern- mental, social, or economic action, except where local government, or the people, cannot undertake it for themselves. The overall mission of this Institution is, from its records, to recall the voice of experience against the making of war, and by the study of these records and their publication to recall man’s endeavors to make and preserve peace, and to sustain for America the safeguards of the American way of life.

Date…………………………………………….. 1 Abstract Employing critical race theory as a theoretical and analytical framework, this thesis explores the nature, structure and purpose of Islamophobic discourse, and offers two central contributions to the scholarly debate on Islamophobia. First, it contributes to the literature on the nature of Islamophobia by analysing the form and structure of discourse that seeks to represent Muslims and Islam in a number of social and political sites. Second, the thesis addresses a significant gap identified in the scholarly literature, which has largely overlooked the purpose that Islamophobic discourse serves for those employing it. In order to address the nature and structure of Islamophobic discourse, the thesis analyses representations of Muslims and Islam in dominant national community cohesion and counterterrorism discourses; rearticulation of these discourses at the local level in the West Midlands town of Dudley; the use of Islamophobic discourse by the English Defence League; and the ways in which Islamophobic narratives were used to mark national boundaries in Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands and France.
