Coming Soon to an Islamophobe Near You

 
The term “Islamophobe” is fast joining “racist”, “homophobe”, et al., as a reliable tool of politically-correct argument, a way of silencing the Left’s opponents and consigning dissenters to the phobic outer darkness beyond the pale of polite discourse.

Object to Hamas? You must be Islamophobic!

Want to scrutinize speakers of Farsi or Arabic more carefully at the airport? Islamophobe!

It is with this in mind that Gates of Vienna proudly launches a pre-emptive counterstrike:
Opposing the Great Jihad Since 1683!

If I can figure out a way to scrape it off the screen and put it on a real button, I’ll pin it to my waistcoat or on the lapel of my dinner jacket, for all the world to see.

In the meantime, this will have to do.

Baron--go to CafePress.com and check out the "start a store" options. It's free to start one and you can just download the template and put this on stickers, bags, pins, etc. And you put no money down for any of it, you just make it available and get the profits. Not that you'll make any real money on CafePress, but you can at least buy your own stuff at cost. So that way you can buy a bunch of cheap buttons that look just like this.

So what do you call someone who has an irrational fear of rampaging blood-crazed Buddhists - a Zenophobe?

This reminds me of another idea. Does anyone have a good flyer or 8.5x11 poster we could print up and put on bulletin boards? Since the mainstream
media-ocre don't report any of this stuff it'd be nice to go right to the people. Even one more enlightened soul will help. It'd be really good to have series of tabs along the bottom with website addresses (instead of phone numbers) so people could tear off a tab and take it home for more info.
Unfortunately I'm too busy just paying for the kids dental work or I'd do it myself. But there are a bunch of poster boards at the stores along the road to my office and I'd be glad to slap some up.

I liked my old post on the subject in which I skewered the idiots at IW. I think the title is appropriate enough: The Misnomer that is "Islamophobia" : Why Be Afraid?" which was accompanied by a picture I can hardly look at, Pim Fortuyn dead on the street.

But I'd like to expand the idea. How about the original title or simply, "Islamophobia : Why Be Afraid?" followed by pic after pic of the slaughters committed in the name of Islam. I (obviously) don't have the know how to do this on the web. I wish my web knowledge matched my rate of ideas that I get! Most unfortunate.

Anyway, tell me if you're interested, anyone! Maybe thereligionofpeace.com would put it up. The editor has all of the pictures already, not to mention the list of attacks! But hey, I said it here first.

No sooner said than done! :-)

1-No need to "reinvent the wheel":
http://www.standwithuscampus.com/
This may be just what you are looking for--check out the entire site, but particularly "Download flyers" on that page. This is probably the best bet.

2-You might be able to do something with some of the Protest Warrior signs-- print out then make copies at Kinkos or Staples, etc:

3-Definitely check out The Truth Project blog:
