Original"אני אסלאמופובית? כן! כי הטירוף הזה מאיים על כולנו": הסרטון המעמיד מראה נוקבת מול הסלחנות המערבית | צפו סרטון חריף ובלתי מתפשר שהתפרסם ברשתות של הפעילה והיוצרת ליז בנישו (Liz Benichou) @basedinmalibu מעמיד מראה נוקבת מול הצביעות והעיוורון המערבי. מול האשמות שבלוניות על "אסלאמופוביה", מוצגת אמת פשוטה, עובדתית וחדה: החשש מאידיאולוגיה אסלאמיסטית אינו שנאת חינם - אלא חובת הישרדות בסיסית מול תהליכי השתלטות אכזריים. תמונות ארכיון חורכות מציגות את השחזור ההיסטורי של החורבן האסלאמיסטי: איראן ואפגניסטן של שנות ה-70 היו מדינות חופשיות ומתקדמות - עד שנכבשו ונחנקו תחת מגף השריעה, הדיכוי והבורקות. כעת, אותה אג'נדה הרסנית מחלחלת אל לב אירופה וארצות הברית (כמו במישיגן), תוך ניפוץ התמימות הליברלית: כפיית בורקות וכיסוי ילדות קטנות אינם "זכויות נשים" - אלא רוע טהור וברבריות לשמה. הטיעון החשוך לפיו נשים נדרשות להסתתר כדי לא "לפתות" גברים מפורק לגורמים, לצד תזכורת על חרפת נישואי הילדות בנות ה-9 תחת משטרי הטרור. עבור ישראל, הנמצאת בחזית המאבק העולמי בטרור, זהו מסר חותך: אם המערב לא יתעשת ויפסיק להתרפס מול האסלאם הקיצוני - אזרחיו יתעוררו כפופים לחוקי השריעה בלב בירותיהם - צפו

  • Video by Liz Benichou criticizes Western blindness to radical Islam.
  • It argues fear of Islamist ideology is a survival instinct, not hate.
  • Archival footage shows Iran and Afghanistan's decline under Sharia.
  • The video claims this agenda is now spreading to Europe and the US.
  • It warns the West must confront radical Islam or face Sharia law.

A sharp and uncompromising video released by activist and creator Liz Benichou is confronting what she describes as Western hypocrisy and blindness towards radical Islam. The video, which has gained traction on social media, argues that fear of Islamist ideology is not baseless hatred but a fundamental survival instinct against oppressive takeover processes. Benichou uses archival footage to depict the historical subjugation of Iran and Afghanistan in the 1970s, portraying them as once free and advanced nations that were subsequently stifled under Sharia law, oppression, and the burqa.

The video contends that this destructive agenda is now infiltrating Europe and the United States, citing Michigan as an example. It criticizes the liberal naivete that views forced veiling of young girls as women's rights, instead labeling it as pure evil and barbarism. Benichou debunks the notion that women must conceal themselves to avoid tempting men and highlights the abhorrent practice of child marriage, with girls as young as nine, under terror regimes.

For Israel, positioned on the front lines of the global fight against terror, the message is stark: if the West does not awaken and cease appeasing radical Islam, its citizens will eventually find themselves subject to Sharia law in their own capitals.
