OSU hosts lecture on the "dangers of Islamophobia" after muslim immigrant attempts mass murder

The Ohio State University’s Middle East Studies Center in partnership with the Multicultural Center is set to host author Nathan Lean to discuss the “pernicious phenomenon” of Islamophobia.

The event, slated for Monday, comes roughly three months after a Somali refugee student plowed a car into a crowd of Ohio State students before stabbing several of them with a butcher knife. In the past, that student had praised an al-Qaeda leader as a “hero” and criticized America for interfering in the Middle East.

Lean, author of “The Islamophobia Industry: How the Right Manufactures Fear of Muslims,” is a researcher focused on Islam, Islamophobia, the Middle East, Muslim-Christian relations, and other issues, his website states.

“The fear that the Islamophobia Industry has manufactured is so fierce in its grip on some populations that it drives them to do the unthinkable,” states Lean’s book summary on Amazon.

During his discussion at Ohio State he seeks to evaluate Islamophobia’s “causes, consequences, and highlight some of the underlying dynamics that have animated it in recent history,” OSU’s website states.

He will also offer “key insights on how students, scholars, and members of community at large can counter instances of prejudice and help realize a world that values pluralism and diversity,” it adds.

The webpage for the event also notes that “prejudice towards and discrimination of Muslims has reached a fevered pitch. Beyond blatant physical attacks or acts of vandalism, polls show that negative sentiment towards the followers of Islam runs deep, and has manifested itself in a range of ways.”

His talk will delve into this “pernicious phenomenon,” the site states.

This is desperate. It a warranted fear when, you know, someone tries to kill as many people as they can in the name of Islam.

Personally this is my favorite part.

Lean seeks to understand the root cause behind Islamophobia.

IDK maybe Muslims should stop mass raping and murdering and then people wouldn't be afraid of them?

This is pathetic. It's like when Charlton Heston used to show up at massacre sites before the bodies were even in the ground, because that's obviously a great time and place to spout NRA bullshit.

Perhaps the site of an act of Islamic terrorism isn't a great place to make your argument that Islam is a "religion of peace."

It's actually worse if you read the entire article. The speaker isn't even trying to say Islam is peaceful. His whole thesis is that if you point out the atrocities being committed by Muslims you're a bigot.

Why do people keep acting like Islam is a race? It's fucking not. I can dislike whatever religion I want, especially since I'm a pretty euphoric atheist. That doesn't make me a bigot. A pretentious asshole, sure, but not a bigot.

Shouldn't it be "The Danger of Islam" instead of "The Danger of Islamphobia" ?

 

[Bassomatic]

This is fucking insanity and as someone who's dedicated his life to education and learning and passing know how on I can't tell you how much this sickens me.

I'm so sorry, ashamed and embarrassed of what academia allows and is.

Let's advocate more killings in the name of a religion.

Stay classy call-edge!

Reminds me of when a UK university's feminists shutdown a men's health day hours after a male student committed suicide. The narrative has no time for dead bodies.

At least you didn't go to school there...

The danger of Islamophobia is that it might cause muslims to kill you

 

[Staffy]

One of the notable dangers of islamophobia is these self-righteous fags REEing at you all day.

Is simply criticizing the religion considered "Islamophobia"? I never even quite know what they mean.

Criticizing any Muslim, at any time, for any reason, is "Islamophobia." All Muslims are perfect, it is the best and most peaceful religion in the world, superior to that shitty Christianity shit that only white people and other vermin follow while raping and murdering everyone else in the world.
