France ‘so afraid of being accused of Islamophobia, it refuses to name the ideology that motivates these attacks’
Carine Azzopardi is right: the West is so afraid of charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia” that it is neither comprehending nor mounting any effective resistance to the global jihad.
Yet she is also wrong, and is engaging in exactly the same denial and willful ignorance that she is criticizing. Her careful language in this piece makes it abundantly clear that she would explain, if asked, that the ideology of “Islamism” and “Islamist terrorism” was something quite different from the benign and cuddly religion of Islam itself.
But if you asked her to provide specifics about the differences between the two, neither she nor anyone else who speaks about “Islamism” would be able to do so convincingly.
