The Jihadist’s Candidate

May 15 2011 Published by under 2010 Elections

Leave it to Ron Paul to make Obama look like a hawk. Ron Paul’s irrational foreign policy should bury his candidacy in a post- 9/11 world, yet he’s still popular among many Americans who are sick of our government’s intrusion into the private sector economy and who see his domestic policies as the answers to our troubles, but some even question his soundness in that arena. (the Paul section begins at 4:30 in the video) His constant refrain about the jihadist war being waged on us is, “They’re here because we’re over there.” This tells me that to Ron Paul, no matter what the enemy does to us, including nuking us, we had it coming. We are always to blame according to Ron Paul, and that’s why he can’t even see the killing of Osama bin Laden as a good thing . Besides everything else that this says about him, it’s his absolute indifference to the victims of jihad that condemns him for me. Here’s a very good post on Ron Paul .

Protecting Muslim Girls From Rape is Now a Crime in Europe

May 04 2011 Published by under 2010 Elections

Freedom of speech and women’s rights just took a major hit in Denmark earlier today when the public prosecutor found Lars Hedegaard, the President of the Danish (and International) Free Press Society, guilty of “hate speech” under section 266b of the Danish penal code. Hedegaard’s crime was to note “the great number of family rapes in areas dominated by Muslim culture in Denmark.” The prosecutor’s crime is far greater. Now, courtesy of this prosecution, it is officially “racist” to tell the truth about sexual violence against women in Denmark, at least when that violence is perpetrated by Muslim fathers, uncles, or cousins. When feminists first brought rape and incest out of the closet, we were accused of being “strident man haters,” and “crazy” as well. We learned to say: Not all men rape but all rapists are men. To our horror, we eventually discovered that women sometimes rape or sexually abuse children. They rarely rape other adults or force unwanted sex on other women outside of a prison setting. Islam is not a race. Muslims come in every conceivable color. The Danes, the Scandinavians, all Europe has critiqued and exposed the real and imaginary sins and crimes of both Judaism and Christianity. Now, suddenly, Islam alone is to be spared such treatment. Hedegaard has just published a book, Muhammed’s Girls: Violence, Murder and Rape in the House of Islam. I was told that my work appears throughout. Will my work someday also be considered “hate speech” or “racism”? I stand in solidarity with Hedegaard at this awful moment. If the Danes and the Europeans do not take some very radical measures, it will be just as Bat Ye-or predicted. Post-Enlightenment Europe will no longer exist; Eurabia will. I am ready to talk to the prosecutor to condemn this utter insanity. And so should everyone else. The real racists, the infidel-haters, the Jew-haters, the woman-haters are not being condemned. Only those who expose them are. On the next page is the press release I received earlier today. –>

Lying, Hitting Your Wife and Jihad: Just Another Day in a Moderate Mosque

Apr 18 2011 Published by under 2010 Elections

In the small city of Sammamish, WA is an Islamic worship center that most people wouldn’t even recognize as a mosque or anything other than a residential house in just another normal neighborhood.  But what is being taught about Islam at the Sammamish Mosque should be brought to attention, not just in this small community, but on the national stage. When I decided to research this mosque I was ready to find the ordinary and mundane, although as a self-taught student of Islam, I was prepared to find some things of concern and perhaps the truly hair-curling.  What I discovered was a bit of both: a very ordinary and normal life of faith surrounding the dusty core of a 7th century barbarism, dusted off and polished up for a new life in the Pacific Northwest.  This strange mix was all captured on camera and helpfully uploaded to the internet by Imam Wassim Fayed, a Sammamish Mosque trustee who holds regular workshops at the center.  He is also one of the founding members of the Sammamish Muslim Association. The two-hour video is a “Daawah Workshop” given by Imam Fayed on proselytizing to non-Muslims including instructions on the best ways to explain the “misconceptions in Islam.”  In this video clip, which comes about 15 minutes into the workshop, we are instructed when giving da’wah to tell the truth to non-Muslims.  That sounds good, right? Transcript: Don’t say anything that in front of Allah on the (day of judgement) you’re gonna regret. If you can’t say the truth because it’s gonna incriminate you or put you in a bad spot, better not to say anything. But if you’re able to say it, then say it, inshallah. So the Imam wants his followers to tell the truth, but he makes it absolutely clear to only tell the truth if it won’t “incriminate you or put you in a bad spot.”  It is a little unnerving when this very unassuming and seemingly nice man starts talking about concealing “incriminating” aspects of his religion from non-believers.  Maybe this imam needs a lesson on Islam himself since every time we hear about anything negative regarding Islam the media and intelligentsia come out to assure us that Islam has been “hijacked.” Could it be that this imam knows something about his religion that the MSM doesn’t know or just isn’t willing to say? Moving along in the video workshop we come to the lessons on the “Misconceptions in Islam,” including the misconception that “Islam oppresses women.”  The Imam starts off the discussion asking the audience how they as Muslims will explain that women are not oppressed in Islam when it’s in the Qur’an that men can hit women.  Gee, that’s a great question, let’s go to the video to find out. When is it okay to hit a woman? —>

The Battle That Dare Not Speak Its Name: 48 Hours in the Life of an Anti-Islamist

Apr 15 2011 Published by under 2010 Elections

The information is in and I don’t like it one bit. On the other hand, if one remains flexible, realistic, and calm and persists in telling the truth, one may also prevail. I am talking about the hoops one has to jump through in order to be heard on any subject having to do with Islam. I am not talking about the Danish Mohammed cartoon controversy, the criminal trials of the heroically determined Dutchman, Geert Wilders, or the unexpectedly great Austrian, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff. I am not even talking about Lars Hedegaard of the Danish Free Speech Society, who was put on trial for making “racist” statements about Muslims, Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, or Lars Vilks, the Swedish cartoonist, who has required 24-hour protection. I am not even talking about the high-profile and world-class beauty, Aayan Hirsi Ali, the Somali-Dutch-American feminist anti-Islamist. Nor am I talking about Random House’s 2008 decision to renege on its contract to publish “The Jewel of Medina,” a novel about Mohammed’s wife Aisha—and all because a single professor suggested via e-mail that the book “might lead to violence”—or about the Yale University Press 2009 decision to omit the Danish cartoons from a book they published about the Danish cartoon controversy; they did not even bother to tell the author. No, I am not talking about any of this. I am only talking about what happened to me personally in the course of one 24-48 hour period. A deservedly popular network radio program asked to interview me—but then begged me to “work with them” because they are being closely monitored in terms of their “Islamic” content. “Please be sure to say something like ‘Many Muslims are moderate,’ or ‘All Muslims are not jihadists.’” I assured him that I usually say these kinds of things anyway because I believe them—but still, a cold wind blew across my grave. A distinguished American government publication had previously interviewed me at great length and very respectfully about honor killings. The editors ultimately asked me to participate in a debate about whether coverage of honor killings in the West “stigmatizes” Muslims. I said it did not—that if anyone was “stigmatized” it was Hindus, whose India-based honor killings are covered by the same American mainstream media which will not cover Muslim honor killings in America. Guess what? When they sent me the final version for my approval I saw that they had dropped the word “Muslim” before “honor killings” and had added a sentence that softened what I had to say about such Muslim-on-Muslim crimes. I immediately re-inserted the word “Muslim” and hope that the piece sees the light of day as I wrote it. I believe it will. I did not raise my voice or lose patience. Calmly but firmly, I re-inserted my own words and once more explained why they were logically necessary. But I did wonder: To what extent have the Saudis bought up our government media? Or are the same-old-same-old “politically correct” speech code censorship regulations operating behind the scenes without benefit of legislation? Finally, on the same day, a magazine commissioned me to write a piece about honor killings but the editor asked me to “try to be balanced so that his bosses will approve the piece more easily.” I pointed out that it was an opinion piece, not a news item. I wrote the piece. It is slated to run—but alongside a piece which will oppose my point of view. The message is clear: Either steer clear of all Muslim subjects or write only positive things about Islam. At the very least, be prepared to have a companion piece which differs from your own, not in the next issue, but right alongside you, speaking over you, as you speak. Be prepared to have to “debate” as the price for being able to present your own arguments.

What Does Mohammad Look Like Unmasked?

Apr 03 2011 Published by under 2010 Elections

“The historical Muhammad was the savage leader of a gang of robbers from Medina. Without scruples they looted, raped and murdered. The sources describe orgies of savagery where hundreds of people’s throats were cut, hands and feet chopped off, eyes cut out, entire tribes massacred. An example is the extinction of the jewish Kurayza tribe in Medina in 627. One of those who chopped off their heads was Muhammad. The women and children were sold as slaves. Confronted with the lunacy of Islamic terrorists today, it is not hard to find out where the lunacy comes from.” – Geert Wilders in his op-ed “Time To Unmask Mohammad .

The Koran Riots in Afghanistan: An Indictment of Radical Islam

Apr 02 2011 Published by under 2010 Elections

7 United Nations workers were murdered by a crowd of angry Muslims in Afghanistan during protests organized by religious leaders. The clerics drove through the city of Mazar-i-Sharif with loud speakers, demanding that Muslims “protest” the burning of a Koran by a Florida pastor. Two of the UN workers were beheaded. The leftist media here is placing the blame squarely on Koran burner Terry Jones while desperately clinging to the myth of the peaceful Muslim protest that “just got out of control”–no doubt hijacked by a that tiny minority of extremists the media thinks is responsible for over 1,000 years of Islamic Imperialism. But when the Left here makes excuses for Muslim barbarity they ignore reality and the internal drives of unreformed Islam that make Muslims predisposed to mayhem and violence. There is no other religious group on Earth that murders and rapes more people whenever they feel attacked and insulted nor is there one that attacks and insults other religions as regularly. While the Muslims in Afghanistan murdered innocent people because one man in Florida burned a Koran, Saudi authorities tortured and arrested two Indian Christians for praying . During the arrest Saudi religious police trampled the victims’ Bibles and tore the holy books. Where are the Christian riots? How many people will be murdered in retaliation for Saudi Arabian religious police desecrating Bibles? Malaysian authorities desecrated Bibles headed to their country’s Christians , but so far there have been no mass murders by Christians there. Why is that? The Fogel Family massacre was celebrated by Palestinian Muslims who passed out sweets in joyous revelry over the butchering of Jewish children. Does anyone remember Jews worldwide attacking Muslim families in protest? Of course not, because Jews and Christians are part of a Western moral tradition that seeks to rise above barbarity. Even hate cults like the Westboro Baptists don’t murder their critics and the Branch Davidians only took up arms when they believed they were backed into a corner –and had never terrorized their neighbors. Our religious extremists are less prone to violence that the average Muslim in any Islamic country. But Islam doesn’t just fall short morally when measured against other Abrahamic faiths. In religiously pluralistic America we have many examples of religions being slandered or insulted but no examples of a religion’s adherents taking to the streets en masse to rape, pillage and kill because their collective feelings were hurt. In 1987 Martin Sheen stared in the extremely racist anti-Voodoo film “The Believers” which was literally a Castroite screed designed to excuse communist oppression of African Diaspora religions. Yet as slanderous as the film was, there were no mobs of Voodoo worshipers on the streets burning down movie theaters at the behest of their priests and priestesses. Martin Sheen was not targeted for death. How is it that the Left in America and the leftist media can promote a narrative where rampaging Muslims are considered better neighbors than the Haitian immigrant who simply wants to to sacrifice the occasional chicken while praying for a sick relative to get better? Even the West’s devil worshipers are more law abiding than the Muslim street.

Obama: The Enemy’s Hope

Mar 31 2011 Published by under 2010 Elections

Barack Hussein Obama is the only former Muslim I know of who has nothing but good things to say about Islam, but he waited only until after he became president to speak about his Muslim heritage openly, and he accordingly did so in the first televised interview he gave as president for the Muslim/Arab TV station, Al Aribiyya . If he only felt about America the way he feels about Islam. But he doesn’t, and so he constantly puts our interests below the interests of our enemy. His latest tribute to Islam is his siding with “the rebels” in Libya, “rebels” who are linked to Al Qaeda. Under Obama, the Muslim world is becoming more Islamic and the enemy is becoming more emboldened , as if it’s his job to make it so. Barack Hussein Obama, a man in love with all things Islam, has given our enemy great reason to believe that they can actually achieve their goals, and do so sooner than they even dreamed of. The enemy understands that the one man in all the world who is supposed to be their worst enemy is actually their greatest hope.

David Horowitz on Nation-Building: “I agree with Haley Barbour”

Mar 28 2011 Published by under 2010 Elections

Coincidentally, Governor Barbour spoke right before David at CPAC. Yesterday the Washington Times published an article on the continuing conflicts over foreign policy within the GOP and the Conservative Movement. NewsReal Blog ‘s Editor-In-Chief David Horowitz was quoted: David Horowitz, a prominent member of the party’s neoconservative wing, said his own views are changing and he has come around to Mr. Barbour’s position. “I agree with Haley Barbour and am not surprised that he too has come to this conclusion,” Mr. Horowitz said. “Afghanistan is now our longest war, in large part because we are trying to remake a nation which has barely emerged from the seventh century, and in many respects has not. It was our mistake in Iraq.” The Times did not include David’s full quote explaining his position. Here it is: I agree with Haley Barbour and am not surprised that he too has come to this conclusion. Afghanistan is now our longest war in large part because we are trying to remake a nation which has barely emerged from the 7th Century, and in many respects has not. It was our mistake in Iraq. The Iraq war was justifiable 1) as a defense of international order against a dictator who had violated a truce and 17 UN Security Council Resolutions and was determined to build weapons of mass destruction; and 2) as a successful effort to remove a monster. We should have gone in, arrested the Iraqi leaders complicit in the war crimes against the Kurds, and quickly got out. We are not a nation that can occupy a country for a long time and do it with a good conscience (as the old colonial powers could), and we cannot sustain a long war and do it successfully. I disagree with Barbour in suggesting that al-Qaeda is our only enemy. Our enemy is radical Islam and this includes the Taliban in Afghanistan, Hizbollah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood to name the most prominent forces engaged in a holy war against the West. This is a theme that David wrote about previously at FrontPage in an article titled “Why I am Not a Neo-Conservative.” Andrew Sullivan distorted one of David’s points, prompting a response here at NewsReal Blog . Also notable in the Times article is the way that David’s views are juxtaposed with those of Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol. In February during the debates over Egypt David challenged Kristol for his unfounded attacks on Glenn Beck’s skepticism of the revolts. I first wrote back in July about the growing foreign policy fissures within the Conservative Movement’s hawkish wing. What we’re seeing right now is a widening divide between the traditional neo-conservative establishment (most represented by the heirs of Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz at The Weekly Standard and Commentary ) and the anti-Jihad movement (most visibly represented by Robert Spencer, Andrew McCarthy, Pamela Geller, us here at the Freedom Center, and recently promoted by Beck.) The divide can be summarized in both movements’ reactions to one fact: 84% of Egyptians believe apostates from Islam need to be executed . The traditional neo-conservative establishment ignored that fact in their embrace of the revolts in Egypt. (Apparently traditional neoconservatives are so eager to remove one tyrant that they don’t care if a worse one steps in to fill the void.) The Anti-Jihad movement was more clear-eyed in realizing that “democracy” in such a country would be many things but “freedom” is not one of them.
