#1 It's all the fault of the Juden (and Putin: who's probably a secret Jew---he's too smart for Russian)

#2 ...The Instapundit has a running joke that addresses this quite well. It's a mock headline that says, "MUSLIM LEADERS WARN OF BACKLASH FROM TOMORROW'S BOMBING."

#3 Islamophobia is "racism". It's self-defense and common sense

#6 Churchill, The River War, pages 248-250.

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Faith: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

#8 Gotta credit Trump -- he delivered the dagger to the MSM, and nobody has to even pretend that this drivel has any influence.

#9 Progressives have long pushed the idea that nations are just land with nothing special about them worth fighting for, only stuff that everyone should be embarrassed about.

Most none-Elites took this as the nonsense it is.
Muslims took them at their word.

#10 "Islamophobia" (a term invented by the Muslim Brotherhood) is a propaganda device used to silence criticism of Islamist theocratic fascism and to deflect blame from the motivating ideology of terrorists to the victim society.

It enables society to blame the victim instead of the attackers.

that way nothing is done to limit the spread of Islamist theocratic fascism.

It is actually more dangerous to our societies than the actual violence.

It is used to lobby for legal exceptionalism for Islam eg - blasphemy laws by stealth (no making fun of Mohammad or even drawing a cartoon, eg) or elevating Islam to the status of race so that anti-discrimination laws can be used to silence opponents of sharia by dragging them through the courts.
