‘Dehumanising And Dangerous’ — American Council Condemns Israel’s Call For Removal Of Muslims From Europe

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), America’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation, has condemned an official Israeli government call to remove Muslims from Europe as another part of that terror state’s “war on Islam.”

In a post on its Arabic account, the Israeli government wrote in part: “In the year 1980, there were fewer than a hundred mosques in Europe. As for today, there are more than 20 thousand mosques. This is the true face of colonisation. And this is what is happening while Europe is oblivious and does not care about the danger. Europe must wake up and remove this fifth column.”

In a statement, CAIR said: “This dehumanising and openly genocidal rhetoric by the Israeli government is just the latest example of its ongoing war on Islam. It is not only Islamophobic  it is dangerous. To label millions of peaceful Muslims in Europe as a ‘fifth column’ that must be ‘removed’ echoes some of the darkest chapters of modern history.

“It is further evidence that Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians are not isolated acts of violence, but part of a broader ideological war against Islam and Muslims globally. (cair.com)

“We call on all governments, human rights organisations, faith leaders, and people of conscience to unequivocally condemn this incitement to religious hatred, and to reject any attempts to scapegoat Muslim communities in Europe or anywhere else. Silence in the face of such hateful rhetoric is complicity.”

Earlier this week, CAIR welcomed a decision by Norway’s $2 trillion wealth fund, the world’s largest, to divest from construction equipment manufacturer Caterpillar and from five Israeli banking groups over Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

CAIR called the Israeli military a “terrorist organisation” after Israel slaughtered at least 20 people, including five journalists, in a “double tap” strike on Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza in which one bombing was followed by another to kill first responders – the so-called “double tap.”
