White House Launches Focus on Islamophobia

As Jews across America experience waves of hate, the White House is focusing on Islamophobia. Why is the administration doing this? What is the goal?
From The Daily Wire. This month has seen the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.
Get involved in state level prayer with IFA.
It has also seen the worst global spike in anti-Semitism since the Holocaust.
According to Reuters, “In countries where figures are available from police or civil society groups … the pattern is clear: the number of antisemitic incidents has gone up since Oct. 7 by several hundred percent compared with the same period last year.” …
Meanwhile, some Jewish businesses are being boycotted for the crime of being Jewish businesses. According to the Washington Post, more than 30 Jewish eateries and markets in Philadelphia are being hit with a boycott organized by a pro-Hamas group because they are “owned by Zionists.” …
But there’s something peculiar about all the media reports about the extravagant spike in anti-Semitism: They all carry notes about a supposedly concomitant rise in “Islamophobia.” …
What … does Islamophobia have to do with anti-Semitism? …
Precisely nothing, that is, unless you wish to suggest that response to anti-Semitism is linked with Islamophobia — that if you wish to oppose radical Muslim anti-Semitism, that is an aspect of Islamophobia.
Which, of course, is precisely what anti-Semites are suggesting these days.
Take, for example, Corey Saylor of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR is the most frequently cited group on “rising Islamophobia.” … Saylor refuses to condemn boycotts on Jewish businesses; he told the Washington Post that “it is 100 percent on the table to criticize supporters of Israeli apartheid.”
CAIR itself accuses Israel of “textbook ethnic cleansing” and “war crime” for defending itself. …
On October 7, before any Israeli response, they also called for an end to American aid to Israel and the Abraham Accords.
The group has not offered a single word condemning Hamas. …
CAIR is, by any stretch of the imagination, a fomenter of anti-Semitism.
But that’s the point of focusing on supposed Islamophobia: the goal is to treat response to anti-Semitism as a form of Islamophobia. So Saylor claims that it is Islamophobia to publicize the names of students who sign petitions siding with Hamas, while claiming it is not anti-Semitism to boycott Jewish businesses. …
The legacy media feel the same way. That’s precisely why, since October 7, the media have rushed to link anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, as though the two phenomena are part of a “cycle of hatred.”
That’s a disgusting and wrong take that excuses anti-Semitism through false charges of Islamophobia. But it’s extraordinarily common on the Left these days. …
The Biden administration is falling into the trap of linking anti-Semitism and Islamophobia — a link that has the purposeful goal of demonizing opposition to Hamas. Fearful of their own base, the Biden Administration announced yesterday a White House National Strategy to combat Islamophobia. …
Why is the White House playing this game? Because they’re attempting to buy back the support of Muslims across the United States who are enraged that the White House has sided with Israel instead of Hamas. …
For a contrasting view, read this statement by Fouad Masri, a former Muslim who works to bring the gospel to the Islamic world through Crescent Project:
Consistent with the last 3,000 years, the Holy Land is again mired in turmoil and bloodshed.
The attacks of October 7, 2023, left a path of death and destruction upon a people for the sole reason of their Jewish ethnicity. The true purpose of Hamas, as outlined in their own charter, is to exterminate the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, rather than to live in peaceful co-existence with their neighbors- as most Palestinians desire. We do not believe that Hamas acts on behalf of all Palestinians, living in Gaza and the West Bank.
Time has shown that “eye for an eye” has never worked. As broken humanity, however, we seem to always be obliged to take sides.
Crescent Project is taking sides!
- The side we choose is the way of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and not of Jihad or war.
- We choose the treating of others the way we wish to be treated.
- We take the side of rejecting hate in all its forms.
- We stand with the peacemakers rather than those shouting down opposition.
Hate begets hate.
Blame begets blame.
Violence begets violence.
Crescent Project believes that all people have the right to live peaceful lives. In light of this perpetual conflict, our resolve to share the hope of Christ has never been stronger.
Join us as we pray for peace over the hearts of sworn enemies. -And follow with us the way of Jesus, who said, “Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they will be called the Children of God.”
Also, you can view the White House’s announcement of its strategy to combat Islamophobia below:
Taking on hate is a national priority.
Today, @POTUS and I are announcing the country's first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia.
This action is the latest step forward in our work to combat a surge of hate in America. pic.twitter.com/pxZAn7RymY

There are politics and hidden agendas here that we do not see.
That includes Iran and Arab nations, and possibly the hidden agendas of other countries who do not seem to be directly connected. Why is the stated goal of destroying Hamas, if, as is reported, they are hidden in a network of tunnels, actually finding and destroying the tunnels. I do not wish harm to any, but if the goal is to destroy tunnel dwellers, should one not be going after the tunnels, as people do trying to eliminate moles, prairie dogs and other animals they consider to be pests, instead of destroying the entire infrastructure above the tunnels? One does not destroy the garden or the prairie to get rid of what one considers to be underground pests.
Add to that the visible hostility of Iran and the hardly understandable reactions of the Arab nations – who are not visible allies of Iran, although Russia is – and the unseen alliances, as in WWI, and there is a complete mess that cannot be accurately evaluated by the ordinary observer. Let us pray for peace and justice, for an end to war and the preservation of human dignity. Let us pray for the changing of hearts and minds to loving kindness towards all.
I fear no one, and no thing other than You YHVH. I recognize that these are perilous times, but I stand in faith believing Your promises and Your Word. I refuse and renounce all phobias, in Yeshua’s mighty name. You are my refuge and my strong tower, I run into You and I am safe!! May this be our testimony and declaration as the people of YHVH. We choose faith over fear, because Your Word says, “When I am afraid, I will trust in You!”
When a People are determined to exterminate Israel, there is no other answer than to fight back and that is not Islamophobia. It is self preservation. The United States has an obligation to defend Israel against the hatred that was demonstrated on October 7 because it was also directed against the United States.
All Muslims are not against Jews, and all Jews are not against Palestine, although sometimes, to listen to the media, it would seem that way. Hamas must be stopped. Hamas is backed by Iran. Iran is an ally of Russia, which is also against Ukraine. There is a network of political alliances here which the ordinary person cannot see. Let us blame Hamas, but not Palestinians or Muslims. Let us acknowledge that there has been effort to depopulate parts of the land that in the six days war became an additional part of Israel and also observe the actions against civilians in Gaza, but not hate Jews. There is no room for hatred in this world, and this should be the attitude of Christians, even as they exercise the right of self defense or watch others exercising that right.
It is written, Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, amen.
We also need to recall jan 6 at the White House that continues today.
Most of the organizers in d.c. and college campus are NOT activists but paid mercenaries funded by Wagner and Soros. We have a war within a war.
Pray without ceasing

As the Daily Wire reported, the White House is focused on Islamophobia, while antisemitism is 6 times higher than attacks on muslims, as far as deaths go in the US. Praying for the truth to be made widely known.
It is so clear that this is all about fear of Trump and Dems wanting Muslim support in the 2024 election. We can no longer blindly trust either party to make decisions for the welfare of our nation as both parties have been infiltrated by communist elites who are committed to advancing their own personal power and wealth and the NWO instead of protecting our nations security. Lord there should be secure elections to allow Americans to decide USA response on ALL important issues like funding wars abroad, sending troops, and responding as a nation’s voice. Removing support to Israel affects our nation as you ckearly said that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse her will be cursed. Political leaders should be working for the best interests of the majority of hard working citizens of USA not deciding issues on their own for the sake of votes, then weild their political power to enrich themselves and their families abroad. Father deal with the spiritual root issues that are leaving the doors & windows of America open to these types of corruption and issues, Lord let ALL this backfire on the Democrats somehow, shut that party down 100%. They ruined our nation for generations with insufficient handouts that kept people in the slums of America for generations. Now the democrats are allowing illegal immigrants to invade our nation in masses for a free ride for American taxpayers to foot the bill, and also supporting antisemitism and terrorism, and sending billions to fund wars that would have never happened under the Trump administration. Father please forbid corrupt anti American Democrats another term, raise Trump back up or up another leader of your choice who loves America and puts us first as Trump did, and give that leader a supernatural download of wisdom and might, and support on how to clean up all the messes America and the world are now entrenched in. Father forbid WWW3, the stability of the world as far as remaining at peace has become so unstable and the elite’s answer is tge NWO leading to the antichrist system. Father these things were known to you ages ago and you documented them for us, but we pray that you hold it back, let the church rise up clean, holy, and with all authority to expose these elites and their plans and their corruption, hold them back and judge them accordingly. In Jesus name we ask knowing you promised to hear our prayers and answer them.
