Amanpour Sponsors Jew-Haters and Smear Merchants: Libel Jihadist Reza Aslan, Apologist for Oppression, Gender Apartheid, Antisemitism

23

 As I said here, Amanpour does not disappoint her masters. Look who she has on her "panel" on Sunday.  What a clueless, self-important asshat she is. Check out the piece Robert Spencer just posted:

Reza Aslan, smear merchant and apologist for oppression, featured (with Spencer) on ABC/Christiane Amanpour whitewash of jihad and Islamic supremacism

"Pay no attention to my hair"
 
"Is my western hair fooling anybody?"

"Am I as greasy as my hair? No, I am greasier!"

Spencer's must-read post:

As I noted here, Wednesday night I took part in Christiane Amanpour's jihad whitewash on ABC's "This Week" show. It will run at 11AM Eastern on Sunday morning, but I won't be watching, as Amanpour was enthusiastically fronting for the Islamic supremacists and dissemblers throughout the whole program. You can see here about how Amanpour cut off discussion of how Daisy Khan of the Ground Zero mega-mosque initiative was flagrantly lying.

Perhaps Amanpour has no trouble with departures from truth and accuracy, if she saw and approved this press release/news article about the show, as it is riddled with exaggerations and inaccuracies: "Amanpour to Host Special Town Hall; Locale Undisclosed," by Betsy Rothstein for Media Bistro, September 30:

A special ABC "This Week" town hall meeting is taking place in New York City, where Christiane Amanpour will moderate a live debate "Holy War: Should Americans Fear Islam?"

This gives the false impression that the debate will be broadcast live. Actually, it was taped on Wednesday evening. It was live then, to be sure, but it went on for two hours, and they're going to cut it down to one. Plus, they filmed me walking out of my hotel room and in a brief interview in a cab going to the location of the debate, and I understand they did such filming with all the other panelists as well. So of the two hours filmed, probably about 45 minutes will be used, and judging from Amanpour's relentless bias throughout the taping, I am sure that those who were assigned to be on the "fear Islam" side will come off as poorly as the editors can possibly manage.

Also, the whole show was wrongly framed in the first place. I do not believe that Americans should fear Islam. I believe that all free people should recognize the threat to freedom posed by Islamic supremacism, and act to defend the freedoms threatened by the jihad — notably the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of all people before the law. That is not a matter of fear. The response to Islamic supremacism should not be fear, but resolution, determination, courage, and perseverance.

ABC is not revealing the exact location of the town hall due to security reasons.

A ridiculous hype bubble, which under the circumstances I am happy to puncture: the town hall was filmed Wednesday evening between 7 and 9PM at ABC's studios on 44th Street in Times Square. I didn't see any security guards present, but there was a whole studio full of invited audience members. An ABC producer told me beforehand that I could invite five people to be in the audience. There were three panelists on each side, so if each one had invited five guests, that would have filled the audience with thirty people, equally divided on the issue. But there were about 150 people in the studio, and easily 140 of them were enthusiastically on the side of Daisy Khan and Reza Aslan.

Where did they all come from? Were the "fearers of Islam" allowed to bring five guests each while the "non-fearers of Islam" allowed to bring fifteen or twenty each? I don't have any direct information on that, but it would certainly explain the makeup of the crowd.

Noteably [sic], 2000 presidential hopeful Gary Bauer will be there. Who can forget him falling off a podium during a Bisquick pancake flipping contest? Refresh your memory here.

A nasty cheap shot revealing that Media Bistro too employs propagandizing pseudo-journalists.

The guests: Evangelist Franklin Graham, Daisy Khan — Executive Director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and one of the leading organizers behind the planned mosque and Islamic community center in New York City, Azar Nafisi, Author of "Reading Lolita in Tehran," Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, Peter Gadiel of the 9/11 Families for a Secure America Foundation, and Donna Marsh O'Connor of the September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows.

The town hall meeting airs Sunday, October 3 on "This Week with Christiane Amanpour."

Other special guests…

Reza Aslan, Contributing Editor of The Daily Beast and Author of "No god but God," and "Beyond Fundamentalism"
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Author, "NOMAD" Resident Scholar at American Enterprise Institute
Gary Bauer, President of American Values
Brad Garrett, Former FBI Special Agent and ABC News Contributor
Imam Ossama Bahloul, Islamic Center Of Murfreesboro, TN

And so to Reza Aslan. Amanpour had clearly arranged for Aslan to appear on the show via video hookup from Amsterdam at least in part in order to smear me — at one point she mentioned that I was co-founder of Stop Islamization of America, but instead of going to me for comment, or even to ask me some pointed question, she said that Aslan had background on the roots of the Stop Islamization movement in Europe, and went to him. Aslan then lied outright, claiming that the movement was neo-Nazi, and slinging charge after unsubstantiated charge that I was a bigot, a hatemonger, a racist, a pseudo-scholar, an eater of babies, etc. When I tried to respond, Amanpour put her finger to her lips and shushed me, although I went on anyway — I doubt, however, that my responses will make the broadcast version.

At one point I was able to note that the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf of the Ground Zero mega-mosque initiative openly called for restrictions on the freedom of speech in his book What's Right with Islam — whereupon Aslan, to the great delight of the crowd, asked, "Who doesn't realize that freedom of speech is not unlimited?" He elided, of course, the distinction between legitimate restrictions on free speech — calling for the murder of individuals, etc. — and the kinds of restrictions that Rauf meant: as an open advocate for Sharia, Rauf would doubtless favor the Organization of the Islamic Conference's campaign to limit discussion of Islam and jihad in the West, rendering us mute and defenseless before the advancing jihad. In coming out for restrictions on freedom of speech when that is unmistakably what was meant, Aslan revealed his little totalitarian heart and eagerness to serve as an apologist for oppression.

Some of the smears Aslan hurled Wednesday night are in a piece he wrote on September 9 for the Daily Beast about our September 11 Rally of Remembrance against the Ground Zero mega-mosque, "The Charlatans Have Taken Over 9/11." I ignored it at the time it came out, as it is just a tissue of defamation and lies, but now that ABC is going to give this sleazy smear merchant a platform on Sunday morning, I thought a response was in order.

There is little of substance in the piece; Aslan prefers to deal in vitriol, and the Daily Beast's header starts the smears off in style:

A group of opportunists planning an anti-Islam rally at Ground Zero Saturday are hijacking a day reserved for mourning and reflection. From Geert Wilders, the infamous anti-Muslim Dutch politician to Pam Geller, an influential blogger, Reza Aslan on bigots using 9/11 to spread more hate.

So now standing with the 70% of Americans who believe that the Ground Zero mega-mosque is an insult makes you an "opportunist." Standing for freedom and equality for all against Islamic supremacism and Sharia, which denies the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and equality of rights for all, makes you "anti-Muslim," as well as "infamous" and guilty of spreading "hate." Meanwhile, carrying water for an oppressive ideology that silences dissidents and enslaves women is multicultural and broad-minded. Got it.

Aslan then begins with a barrage of smear words, semaphoring to his besotted hard-Left easy-mark readers at the Daily Beast that the people who are behind the resistance to the Ground Zero mega-mosque are The Enemy:

The international gathering of wingnuts, far-right ideologues, Euro-fascists, and anti-Muslim hate groups that will gather at ground zero Saturday should dispel any illusion that the fury over the Park51 Project, otherwise known as the "ground zero mosque," was ever a controversy solely about location.

None of these labels have any actual substance. Aslan could just as well have written "The international gathering of bad guys and poopyheads that will gather at ground zero Sunday…" That is about the intellectual level at which he operates anyway. In reality, the Rally was in defense of American principles of liberty and justice for all, against the Islamic supremacist imperative that would deny liberty and justice to all. And it is clear which side Reza Aslan is on.

More "poopyheads" rhetoric from Aslan follows:

On the ninth anniversary of the attacks of 9/11, a group calling itself Stop Islamization of America is planning an anti-Islam rally at that hallowed ground, hijacking a day that is supposed to be reserved for mourning and reflection and instead using it to spread their bigotry and hate.

Stop Islamization of America is an offshoot of a European neo-Nazi organization called Stop Islamization of Europe, whose motto is "Racism is the lowest form of human stupidity, but Islamophobia is the height of common sense." The American wing of the organization, which is also behind some of the mosque protests taking place all across the country, is headed by two fringe figures, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.

There is, of course, nothing neo-Nazi about SIOE, and its motto is merely making the point that to resist Islamic supremacism is not racism, and that it is reasonable to be concerned about the advance of Islamic supremacism in the West. I don't personally like the motto, as it is open to being misinterpreted — as Aslan does, probably willfully, here. He wants his hapless readers to believe that SIOE means that people should cultivate bigotry and hatred toward innocent Muslims, when in reality it's quite obvious that they mean resisting the advance of the jihad. Here again, in Reza Aslan we're not dealing here with a writer who is interested in playing fair or presenting a reasoned argument based on facts.

Rally gzm

More name-calling:

Geller is the real face of the organization–the queen nut of the wingnuts, if you will. Before gaining international fame as the person who almost single-handedly turned the Park51 Project into the mosque at ground zero, Geller was a journalist for the New York Daily News and former associate publisher of The New York Observer. After 9/11, she says she dedicated her life to stopping the spread of Islam in America.

Aslan drops yet another lie. Pamela Geller has never said that she dedicated her life to stopping the spread of Islam in America, and I challenge Reza Aslan to produce this "quote." She has said that she has been dedicated to stopping the spread of political Islam in the U.S., as SIOA's motto reflects: "SIOA is a human rights organization dedicated to freedom of speech, religious liberty, and individual rights; no special rights for special classes." Insofar as elements of Islam are opposed to those freedoms and principles, Pamela Geller is opposed to those elements of Islam. So is Reza Aslan saying that to defend free speech and religious liberty against Sharia, which manifestly denies them both, is to oppose Islam? That would belie his vaunted "moderate" status, no?

Her blog, Atlas Shrugs, is a mishmash of her inane views on a wide range of social and political issues. However, a quick read of the blog reveals that one of her favorite topics of discussion is the "Muslim in the White House." I'm not exaggerating. The nonpartisan media watchdog group Media Matters for America has counted 267 posts on her blog with that exact phrase.

That's right. Geller is one of the 20 percent of Americans who believe that President Barack Obama is a secret Muslim out to destroy America from inside the White House. "Hussein is a Muhammadan," Geller writes in one post about the president, using his middle name. Another post warns Americans that "The president of the United States is advancing jihad against the oath of office that he took."

That Obama is advancing the Islamic agenda, whether or not he is Muslim himself, is so abundantly clear from his policies, and so widely understood today, that it is rather staggering that Aslan would adduce all this as some sort of evidence that Pamela Geller is "the queen nut of the wingnuts." He has bullied Israel, he has coddled Iran, he has said that one of his chief duties as president is to dispel stereotypes of Islam, he has made overtures to Hamas and the Taliban, he has told the NASA chief that one of his principal duties is to make Muslims feel better about themselves — on and on and on.

It should be noted that Geller is an equal-opportunity bigot, having spread her venom to her Jewish enemies as well. She has referred to Abraham Foxman, the extremely conservative, extremely pro-Israel president of the Anti-Defamation League, as "a self-hating wretch," called the pro-Israel/pro-peace political action committee J-Street "Kapos" (the term for Jews who helped Nazis during the Holocaust), and Photoshopped a picture of Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan (who is Jewish) in a Nazi uniform on her blog.

Aslan doesn't mention that Pamela is also Jewish, as it would interfere with the neo-Nazi smear he is trying to construct. Note also that he doesn't explain the circumstances of any of these things, so as to give the impression further that she is antisemitic. In reality, to call Foxman "extremely conservative" is laughable, and she called him and others "self-hating wretches" for their attacks on Geert Wilders, Rush Limbaugh, evangelical Christians, and other friends of Israel. She attacked J Street for being a George Soros-funded front funded by anti-Israel Muslims. And the Kagan photoshop came after it was revealed that Kagan had cited a German Marxist who became a Nazi when Hitler took power.

Perhaps this pedigree is why the scheduled keynote speaker for the anti-Islam rally at ground zero, GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich, suddenly backed out of his commitment, citing a "scheduling conflict." Having repeatedly and unapologetically associated American Muslims with al Qaeda in his media discussions about the Park51 Project, and then having gone one step further by ratcheting his anti-Islam discourse to "the Hitler level," as Jim Galloway put it in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Gingrich decided that it may not be the best idea for him to stand side by side with the likes of Geller and Spencer. But, if I may be allowed to conjuncture, it may be that the person Gingrich wanted most to avoid is the guest of honor at Saturday's event–the flamboyantly fascist, anti-Muslim Dutch politician and professional provocateur Geert Wilders.

"If I may be allowed to conjecture"? This whole paragraph was conjecture. He has no evidence — nor is there any, because it isn't true — that Gingrich backed out of the rally either because he didn't want to be seen with us or because he didn't want to be seen with Wilders. A responsible journalist might have contacted Gingrich and simply asked him. But we're not talking about a responsible journalist, we're talking about Reza Aslan, a man who confuses a freedom fighter — Wilders — with a fascist.

Wilders has made a name for himself throughout Europe both for his extreme anti-immigration policies (ironically, Wilders' mother was born in modern day Indonesia, making him a second-generation immigrant) and his outrageous statements against Muslims. While some brand Wilders as a lunatic for his more ridiculous policies, like taxing Muslim women for the headscarf or banning the Quran from the Netherlands, his use of Islam as a scapegoat for Dutch issues–particularly the flailing economy and rising crime rate–has actually been quite successful. His political platform is a simple one: "More security, less crime, less immigration, less Islam."

You can find an explanation of Wilders's statements on the Qur'an banning here. Note that here Aslan is using a tried-and-true tool of the Left: to simply state their opponents' positions (although I would doubt that his summaries of Wilders's policies are entirely accurate) as if they were self-evidently ridiculous. It certainly saves on the time and trouble of refuting them, but the reader who sees through Aslan's rhetoric will be left with an empty feeling: he hasn't actually done one thing to explain why these policies, insofar as they are presented here accurately, should be rejected.

Wilders' success in Dutch politics comes from his ability to exploit Dutch fears of economic uncertainty to make his case against Islam and Muslims. His method, as Ian Buruma pointed out in an op-ed for The New York Times, "is to expose the intolerance of Muslims by provoking them. If they react to his insults, he can claim that they are a threat to our native liberties. And if anyone should point out that deliberately giving offense to Muslims is neither the best way to lower social tensions nor to protect our freedoms, Wilders will denounce him as a typical cultural elitist collaborating with "Islamo-fascism."

About Buruma's comments, see Hugh Fitzgerald's piece here.

And anyway, here again, one's response to stimuli is under one's own control. If you insult me, I do not have to kill you in response. Do Buruma and Reza Aslan think that Muslims are angry animals who must not be provoked, in the name of lowering social tensions? Who's the racist now?

That is exactly the playbook of anti-Muslim groups like Stop Islamization of America: Link fear of the recession to fear of Islam. Link fear of terrorism to fear of Islam. More security = Less Islam.

Aslan retailed this farrago on the Amanpour show also. It is arrant nonsense. Here again, I challenge this miserable smear merchant to find one place where Pamela Geller or I have ever linked the recession to the global jihad. I have noted the undeniable billions that have been spent since 9/11 to protect Americans and Europeans from Aslan's more violent coreligionists, but I've never said this caused the recession, and as far as I know neither has Pamela Geller. Here again, this man is a base and brazen liar.

Much more here.

Supposedly “balanced” panel (most of whom aren’t allowed to speak much if they are anti-jihad) and severely UNBALANCED audience, what else is new? I wonder why she doesn’t reside in a muslim state where she can revel in the delights of the islam she so passionately supports?
If this program turns out to be yet another biased toward islam (of which I have no doubt) POS, may I suggest you post your objections far & wide? First make your concerns known to ABC and then on each & every blog where you encounter support for lies.

There is NO SUCH THING as Islamophobia.
What there is: the religiously obsessed insanity of 9/11, the ridiculous Salman Rushdie fatwa, the grand guignol over the cartoons, the disgusting murder of Theo Van Gogh, the London bombings, Madrid, the Fort Hood massacre…and so on and on – all of it beyond contempt, to any sane person.
What there IS, is growing awareness of Muslim madness and threat to the civilised world.

Amanpour is a bigot. I watched her about a score of times when she first started being featured on CNN years ago. The benefit of the doubt that I extended her disappeared when it became apparent she had no problem showing her biases on a daily basis. She has no problem criticizing behavior in one group that she accepts in another.
Having said that, I will correct her moronic assertion that Westerners are afraid of Islam. Western JOURNALISTS may be afraid of it, just as they’re afraid of global warming, Israelis, Christians, rednecks, and their own shadows among other things. I doubt most thinking individuals are afraid of Islam. I hate Islam, but I don’t fear it.
Virtually every religion I’ve read up on shares one common thing – its holy book was written by adherents years after its deity made his/her appearance on Earth. They also espouse some variant of the Golden Rule, amongst exhortations and advice about what hygiene and dietary rules people should live by. Islam is different – its Koran was written by its deity; its exhortations usually involve some form of mutilation of the human body or barbaric method of killing someone who dares violate one of its many draconian edicts. I’m no feminist, but even I have a problem with Islam’s virtual enslavement of its women. It effectively makes its male believers incapable of any sin or impure thought, blaming infidelity and all manner of other human failings on the women and reserving especially harsh punishment for them as a result. Islam’s blanket condemnation of all non-believers and the punishments to be meted out to them are written in the Koran. This is quite different from, say, the Spanish Inquisition in which the treatment of converts was carried out by an overzealous group of people claiming to act for justice in the eyes of God.
There is no way Islam should be considered a true religion; indeed, it’s one of the world’s more successful cults.

Whatever Christiane Amanpour says or does, the bottom line fact is she is getting lousy ratings. Why? I don’t know, maybe people just don’t like her and her “posh” British accent and demeanor. In any case, it’s a chance for all those who dislike her biases to enjoy a moment of “Schadenfreude,” that’s joy in others’ troubles.

“Aslan then lied outright, claiming that the movement was neo-Nazi, and slinging charge after unsubstantiated charge that I was a bigot, a hatemonger, a racist, a pseudo-scholar, an eater of babies, etc. When I tried to respond, Amanpour put her finger to her lips and shushed me, although I went on anyway — I doubt, however, that my responses will make the broadcast version.”-Pamela
The most repulsive aspect of Islam is the Taqyiia (deception) that is permitted by Allah in Wonderland. I would not be surprised if, within 5 years, “Muslim” becomes slang for “liar” among non-Muslims. Most Muslim apologists lie by omission, but some do so by commission (as when that fat guy Hussein Ibish lied on tv that there are no Jew-hating suras in the Qu’ran).
This vid (below) is an excellent summary of the problems in Islamic dogma that ordinary Muslims are going to eventually have to deal with as the naive Dhimmis, Polytheists, and atheists wise-up.
There will eventually be a movement to reform Islam, and it probably will begin in America within a few years. When that happens, the Muslim reformers of the future will express great anger at the Western-Centric “tolerance” people who projected the other major religions’ (Old Testament e.g.)”holy books” onto the Qu’ran. The Qu’ran is not a collection of “inspired” books-but allegedly dictation from Gd, with the earlier “peaceful” suras canceled by the later suras that have Allah calling for deception, domination and violence against the Unbelievers. (There is something creepy about watching a Muslim peddle the “peaceful” verses to an audience of Unbelievers. It’s creepy.)

There are four ways a person will lie: omission, commission, embellishment and transference (plagiarism of one sort or other).
There three motives for lying: love (including self-protection), hate or greed. Aslan is easy to figure out re both motivation for lying and his way of lying (commission and omission).
Christiane Amanpour is real mystery. What is her motive for the omissions?

Frank
Frank

Is Amanpour motivated to lie because of hate or greed? or a combination of the two? She has to know what Islam really teaches. So I doubt she has some great affection for Islam. My hunch is that one of the two other motives, or a combination of them, is in play with her.
What does she hate that causes her to engage in omissions re Islam? What’s the payoff for the omissions, the pay-off for the cover-ups? It’s probably a combination of the two (hate and greed) blending together in terms of her motivation for her omissions.

Frank

I know what her favorite way is of lying (omission) is, but I can’t figure out Amanpour’s motivation. She has to hate something or be motivated by greed. I doubt she is motivated by some love for Islam.
What does she hate? that causes her to lie by ommission? What is the pay-off (greed)? Those two motives are in play with her.
The more interesting motivation is re hate with her. What does she hate? (Pamela, with her sixth sense, should think about Amanpour’s motive(s) and see what she comes up with.)

CNN just fired this Jew hater sanchez-shmanches, who is stupid enough to declare publicly his anti-Semitism. But when it comes to Amanpour this is totally different case. She was the chief anti-Semite for as long as I remember CNN. She has hidden agenda of hurting Jews anyway she could by spreading one lie after another, by reporting from the set up Palestinian casualties sites, by deliberately distorting Judaism etc. She probably has very powerful back-up supporters who preferred to be in the shadow of CNN.
So liberalism, anti-Semitism, and “progressivism” all are well and flourishing today under comfortable umbrella of CNN.

I think you are right. I suspect Amanpour is a Jew-hater, but not quite an obvious prick as is the Sanchez cavone. (I know she’s married to a Jewish guy, but there are self-hating Jews out there. So what?)
There are only four ways of lying: omission, commission, embellishment, transference (transference is a little complex, but its plagiarism of one sort or other).
There are only three motives for lying: love (including self-protection, as well as love for others), hate or greed. Amanpour is probably not motivated by greed (since this third rate mind comes from a privileged background), nor by affection for Islam (she’s not that stupid).
It’s hate that motivates her lies of omission re Islam.
(I would really be interested in Pamela’s thoughts on this. Pamela has a sixth sense. She demonstrated that with that Bob Bickel character. She’s intuitive. But maybe sometimes too trusting, Pamela? Be careful with ye heart, Pamela.)

I think Pamela G. also detects a Jew-hater (given the above headline). But she might detect the foundation for Amanpour’s motive of hate that causes the omission game re Islam.
Amanpour’s not a Muslim.
What is the reason for the hate as motivation for the omissions re Islam? (Sawyer (e.g.) is just stupid and a PC fool. But Amanpour knows what Islam really teaches.)
