Despite viral social media claims to the contrary, Japan is not refusing citizenship to Muslims or stopping them from renting houses. But while such staunch Japanese resistance to the global invasion by Islam is mere wishful thinking, it’s very true that a majority of Japanese have a dim view of Islam. And they’re not backwards about saying it, even while the Japanese legacy media, like its Western counterparts, pulls out all stops to try and put a smiley-face on Islam in that country.
A great many Japanese aren’t buying it.
Anti-Muslim sentiment in Japan is on the rise after Israeli attacks on Gaza, according to a Japanese academic.
Kayyim Naoki Yamamoto, a member of Marmara University Institute of Turkic Studies, told Anadolu that there has been an increase in the anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian sentiments in his country following the Oct 7, 2023 attacks.
Gee, I wonder why? It’s almost as if, unlike the bellowing mobs of leftists in the West, the Japanese saw the snuff and rape videos and actually decided not to side with the savages killing babies, pack-raping women and ringing their parents to brag about murdering Jewish families.
As for this academic: well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?
Yamamato, who was introduced to Islam 15 years ago and has been continuing his academic studies in Türkiye for years, said that hate speech against Muslims has increased with the rise in the votes of far-right parties in Japan.
He’s learned all the right buzz-words from the Western legacy media, I see.
Pointing out that anti-Muslim sentiment in the country has been on the rise like never before, Yamamoto said: “Japanese people already follow the US politically and socially.”
"The US' pro-Israel stance during the Gaza attacks caused the Japanese to become anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim," he stressed.
I mean, it’s not as if the behaviour of Muslims themselves could have anything to do with it, is it?
And, as any Muslim knows, when in doubt, blame the Joos.
He noted that the Japanese people, who support Israel, also pioneered anti-Muslim campaigns in the country, mentioning that pro-Israel lobbies spread hatred not only against Palestine but also against other Muslim countries.
His disingenuous Islamic antisemitism to the contrary, the Japanese have plenty of their own reasons to arc up what is starting to look like yet another Islamic invasion. From almost nothing, the Muslim population of Japan exploded to 110,000 in 2010. In just the 15 years since, it’s doubled. Mosques are sprouting like weeds. There were barely a half-dozen for most of the post-war period. By 2008, that had already risen to 50. In less than 20 years, that number has more than tripled.
And a great many Japanese are not at all happy about it.
Applause from the audience rang out when residents asked questions at a community hall in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture.
But the cheers were not what the organizers of the gathering were seeking.
The positive responses from the crowd were made whenever negative comments or criticism were lodged against the organizer’s plans to build a mosque in the community.
The scene later turned ugly […]
Toward the end of the session, members of a self-proclaimed anti-hate speech organization entered the venue with a camera and engaged in a skirmish with residents. Police had to intervene.
The meeting was organised by Fujisawa Masjid, who are demanding to build a mosque there. Residents have staunchly opposed the plans. Tens of thousands have signed a petition in protest.
Problems surrounding mosques have also emerged outside Fujisawa.
In 2025, a plan surfaced to replace a small, dilapidated mosque with a nine-story building in the Okachimachi district in Tokyo’s Taito Ward.
In lockstep with their Western counterparts, Japanese legacy media are resorting to the standard screeching about ‘hate speech’, the ‘far right’ and ‘misinformation’. The Japanese aren’t falling for the gaslighting. Especially when the mosque builders resort to trying to circumvent Japanese laws.
An illegally constructed mosque is now operating and drawing numerous worshippers on land in Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, where building is prohibited, leaving city officials in a bind.
They are locked in a standoff with the current owners and unable to identify who originally built the unauthorized complex.
Despite ordering the structures to be demolished, Kawagoe city officials have been met with defiance. The company that now owns the property held an opening ceremony in April, just one month after submitting a plan promising to tear the buildings down.
It’s almost like Islam resorting to its well-worn textbook of strategic deceit, or something. Not to mention failing, despite the cooing assurances of the legacy media to respect Japanese sensitivities.
The dispute centers on a 4,500-square-meter plot of land designated as a mountain forest. It falls within an “urbanization control area,” a zone where construction is not allowed without a special permit from the city.
Yet today, four buildings stand on the site, one adorned with the traditional onion-shaped dome of a mosque.
And the subterfuge immediately ensued.
City officials said the issue first came to their attention in October 2024, when residents reported that a steel-frame building was under construction. By the time inspectors arrived, the building’s exterior was nearly finished.
The investigation into the violation of the City Planning Law immediately hit a wall. The landowner at the time, a real estate agent in the neighboring city of Fujimi, claimed to have already sold the property.
“We are not involved,” the agent told officials. “The identity of the buyer is personal information, so we will not disclose it.”
Officials who visited the site questioned foreign workers installing fittings but were unable to learn the identity of the primary contractor or the client who commissioned the project.
And so it begins for Japan, too.
