A friend of mine is compiling a list of Islamophobic dog-whistles that the company she works for needs to keep an eye out for on their socials. I said I would throw the net out and see what I can find out.

A bit of a weird request I know, but I would like to think it will do some good.

Our shared Judeo-Christian values

Shared values

Values-based international community

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

Values-based international community is too broad and acceptable (eg. association with democracy, capitalism, rainbow liberalism etc)

Judeo Christian values seem to be more obvious as a dogwhistle

The “values” idea is just a thin wrapper around “white countries” or often just “Anglosphere”.

We aren’t promoting white supremacy. We are supporting our shared values.

Shared with Britain, Australia, Germany, Israel, maybe Italy kinda not really. Specifically the values white and Anglo countries, or their wholly dependent vassals, have.

Those values being the fact they look and live just like us.

I was saying that "shared values" isn't anything specific as an islamophobic statements of the West, depending on context, but nonetheless that phrase does propose western chauvinist ideas...

  1. "They need to learn our culture and politics. Leave your old culture back home."
  2. "Take off your hijab, you live in a free country."
  3. "(insert vague statement about how Islam hates queer ppl and women)"
  4. "I think immigration should be pulled back, we need to have better immigration security."
  5. "Educational centers for Muslim refugees so that they can adapt to our country better." (similar to 1)

"Don't you know Palestinians hate gay people like you? Why are you opposing their genocide?"

I've gotten this kind of comment multiple times on Twitter.

Wait, am I trying to catch a chud in this scenario or is a chud trying to catch me?

Lol, I just messaged her with that one. Let's see what response we get.

[-] Judge_Jury@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

The main ones I hear irl are "religion of peace" like Vampire says, and "rug/towel-head". There's also "sand people" from racist star wars fans

“I don’t really get Rumi.”

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Sufi poetry. /j

[-] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Pretty much every upper-middle class white woman I knew in the early post-911 period was nuts for Rumi. Wedding after wedding included readings.
