The Western World, which has been systematically manipulating to identify Islam and terrorism for many years, ignores anti-Islamic terrorism within itself. There are dozens of terrorist acts targeting Muslims in US and European countries every day, but this systematic brutality is defined as an individual event. Muslims are exposed to verbal and physical violence, attacks that result in injuries and deaths, setting fire of mosques, cemeteries, houses and businesses belonging to Muslims in the presence of people.
According to German official figures, 297 mosques were attacked in Germany between 2001 and 2014, and 746 Neo-Nazi murders were committed between 1990 and 2011.
According to US-based Southern Poverty Law Center data, the number of hate groups in the US rose to 892, increasing 14%. Most of these occurrences target Muslims.
According to the London Municipality, there are about 20 anti-Islamic crimes per day in the city. These figures mean there are about 7,500 anti-Islamic acts per year only in London. According to the France Anti-Islamophobia Collective (CCIF) data, the number of anti-Islamic crimes in France is 274 in the first six months of 2015. This figure includes only the events that CCIF are aware of.
According to the Islamophobia and Discrimination Reporting Center in the Netherlands, discrimination, violence and attacks against Muslims in the country have tripled between 2013 and 2016, and attacks against the mosques have doubled.
The Equal Rights Center, which serves in Belgium officially, reports that 80% of the racist attacks in the country targets Muslims.
This horrific picture shows that terrorism targeting Muslims in US and European countries is climbing day by day. However, the Western World, with its politicians, journalists, academicians, prefers to ignore the situation. These terrorist acts are called “accident” or “ordinary crime” although dozens of people are killed or injured in these acts. While the cases whose perpetrator are Muslims are called İslamist terror , if the perpetrator is istian they are called "psychopath", "unemployed", “mentally disoriented”.
For example, the Neo-nazi murders committed in Germany have been called as conflict between the Turks living in the country for many years and then tried to be shown as individual events by saying "the murders of the Turkish doner". However, it has emerged that the murders were planned and systematically carried out by istian Neo-Nazi organizations linked to the German deep state.
The massacre of three young Muslims in their flats in North Carolina was largely ignored by the Western media, and it was shown as an ordinary crime in the news. They tried to cover the fact that the perpetrator was a istian and carried out this massacre because of his hatred against Muslims.
A young man named Ahmed Muhammad, 14 years old, living in the US state of Texas in September of 2015, was handcuffed and taken into custody and his family was interrogated when he brought an electronic clock he designed with the suspicion of carrying a bomb.
Finally, a few days ago, an anti-Islamic terrorist attack happened in London. A terrorist drove a truck over the Muslims attending Tarawih Prayer. One person were killed, ten people were injured while two people were seriously wounded. Eyewitnesses stated that the attacker shouted, "I want to kill all Muslims."
These incidents happen every day in the USA and European countries. Therefore, political authorities should debate anti-Islamic terrorism which is becoming more dangerous every year, with their own definitions on all international platforms, not the manipulative expressions of the western world. The media should not use expressions that do not reflect the gravity of the incidents such as "accident", "disaster", or "mentally disoriented" for the perpetrators while these incidents are obviously terrorist acts.
Civil society, academicians and artists should voice against this brutality in the western world, prepare reports on anti-Islamic violence, write books and articles, make movies.
With this understanding, we present our report titled "Rising Discrimination in Europe" published in 2015 and "Islam in the Grip of Manipulations" which we published in 2016 once again as UHİM.
It is unacceptable that the Western world identify the religion of peace with terrorism and normalize the expression "Islamist terror". Actually, no religion can be associated with the expression "terror". Nevertheless, if this approach continues, it should be questioned whether those incidents in US and European countries should be defined as "istian terror".
