Hugh Fitzgerald: Arsalan Iftikhar and Trump’s Reign of Terror

The Muslim hysteria is upon us.

Muslims are “the new Jews” and Donald Trump, who doesn’t ‘reign’ yet, is already firing up the ovens, according to unhinged Islamo-clown Arsalan Iftikhar, unable to hold his ink and frothing from the mouth, just like his odious coreligionist, the motormouth Mehdi Hasan, who calls for sanctions against newspapers who publish criticism of Islam, and, when no one watches, tells his fellow Muslims that infidels are “lower than cattle.”
As a Muslim, how do I tell my child the new president doesn’t like us?
Question to Mehdi Hasan:
As a Jew, how do I tell my children that Muslims teach their children that murdering us is an act of worship to their god, allah?
How do I tell my children that Mehdi Hasan teaches his children that we are no better than cattle?
How do I tell my children that Muslims teach their children we are “the sons of apes and swine”, “the vilest of creatures” and that “our hearts are diseased?”

Donald Trump’s victory has led to a surge in anti-Muslim feeling in the US. Explain that to a nine-year-old
Did she win?” My bleary-eyed nine-year-old had fallen asleep on our couch the previous night, as the polls closed in Florida. When she sat across the breakfast table from me, I had to break the news that, while her own state of Virginia might have (narrowly) opted for Hillary Clinton, most of the other swing states – Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan – went with Donald Trump. “So we won’t have a female president?” she asked, looking disconsolate.
I couldn’t bring myself to tell her that she, we, minority communities across the board, had bigger problems to worry about. The normalisation of racism, of antisemitism, of misogyny, but, above all else – in terms of the impact on her own life and future – Islamophobia.
