Proselytizing nonsense — will those that declared they were Muslim too suffer the same fate as apostates?
Story continues below advertisement
The idiocy. Yesterday, Imam Rauf and Daisy the Khan held an "I am a Muslim, too" protest against Representative King's investigative hearings on "radicalization." Shouldn't the Muslim community be behind such efforts? Of course all Muslim aren't terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslim, so would it not stand to reason that they would be gung ho to root out the bad apples?
Congressman King is the bad guy, but the jihadis get a free pass? Why aren't these groups joining the fight against Islamic jihad? Whose side are they on?
It is unfortunate that Representative King caved to many of the Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups' demands. Steve Emerson, Robert Spencer, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, won't be called to testify but the MB Congresman Keith Ellison will. And still the Islamic Supremacists are demanding complete submisssion. It's the nature of the beast.
Despite making a major push, all the leftwing groups and Islamic supremacist organizations blasted this to their list and media contacts, only a couple of hundred people showed up. Which tells you a lot. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it ain't kosher.
We got tens of thousands to our rallies, and never got this kind of media. Remember, America, you are getting played.
Obama, of course, had to reassure Muslims: "Muslim Americans are not part of the problem; you're part of the solution"

Stealth jihadist and radical Imam, Rauf. Peter Lorre has nothing on this guy.
No jihad rally would be complete without this century's swastika — the Jihad war scarf. Arafat must be smiling from the bowels of hell.
And of course, Obama's thug army, SEIU.
And the former principal (forced out by the infamous NYC intifada tee shirt), of the NY public school madrassa, Debbie Almontaser.

Pamela Hall covered it, go here for pics, reportage and video here. Here is an excerpt of her post:
From the Cordoba Initiative — ''In response to Congressional hearings dubbed 'The radicalization of Muslim communities in America' led by Congressman Peter King (R-LI), members of diverse faith communities throughout New York City will join in unity to support American Muslims.Stand with us on March 6th to show Congress that we are all together, that we share friendship and trust and cannot be divided.''
And their associates at Change the Story — ''These hearings promise to play into, as well as further, the negative discourse on Islam in America, and completely counteract the positive work done to further interfaith understanding and acceptance.''
Over 75 interfaith coalitions and civil liberties groups are joining together on Sunday, March 6, to take a stance against bigotry, ignorance, and prejudice across the country, particularly against Muslims. (and seems there were even some Atheists…at this INTERFAITH coalition)
Def Jam's Russell Simmons was headlining the rally
Russell Simmons, Chairman of RUSH Communications said, "However, we're concerned the hearings will send the wrong message and alienate American Muslims instead of partnering with them, potentially putting their lives at risk by inciting fear and enmity." Simmons also wrongly claimed the the King Hearings were not having any muslims testify (in this video he released)
Guess he never heard of Congressman Keith Ellison…muslim…Imam Rauf of the Cordoba Initiative was front and center….with the press all over him
And the unfortunate Rabbi Marc Schneier, President of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU), who suggested that the hearings should be "broadened in such a way that other ethnic communities and faith communities can attest to the tremendous contribution and solidarity that American Muslims have for our country."
Basically….they were basically 'preaching to the choir'…Which seemed to include many young families

We also noted many familiar representatives of the Far Left/marxist/socialist (like bill doar and donna nevel) whose groups unswervingly support the annihilation of israel, open borders and the end of our military.
And this gem of a banner ( must be a cause near and dear to some Lefties heart)
Useful idiots rally against King hearings Jihadwatch
I have written a great deal about how King has shot himself in the foot in allowing himself to be cowed by his opponents, but their fury is nonetheless unabated — which may indicate that they fear the outcome of his hearings despite the success they've had in defanging them. "Religious leaders rally for American Muslims," by Sebastian Smith for AFP, March 6:
NEW YORK — New York religious leaders and a legendary hip hop figure lead a rally Sunday to defend American Muslims from what they described as Islamophobia in upcoming congressional hearings.
Several hundred people turned out under heavy rain in New York's Times Square protesting the planned hearings on the danger of radicalization among American Muslims.
"I am a Muslim but I love this country as much as any Christian or Jew loves his country," Imam Shamsi Ali, head of the New York Islamic Cultural Center, told the crowd from a stage draped in a huge Stars and Stripes.
Participants waved flags and placards decrying what protesters said amounted to a collective attack on Muslims.
"No to Anti-Muslim Bigotry and War!" one placard read.
Although the rally was small, the high-profile site and the diverse list of speakers were intended as a rebuke to Republican Congressman Peter King, who heads the Committee on Homeland Security hosting the hearings, starting Thursday in Washington.
King says his probe is legitimate given that most serious terrorist threats in the country have been linked to Islamic groups, including a growing number involving Muslim US citizens.
The protest began with the singing of the US national anthem by Anam Chaudhry, a 17-year-old opera student and Pakistani immigrant who pointedly wrapped herself in an American flag.
"I'm not some sort of alien. I'm like everyone else," she told AFP after performing. "It's a shame some people can't see that. But we come in peace."
Does Anam Chaudhry, wrapped up in her flag, really think that Congressional hearings about jihad activity in the U.S. actually threaten her? Why? If there were an armed group of Christian terrorists plotting violence in the U.S. and justifying them by reference to Bible texts, and a Congressmen held hearings about the radicalization of Christians, would non-radical Christians feel threatened? Should they feel threatened? Or might the claim that such hearings did indeed threaten non-radical Christians be an attempt at fearmongering by the radicals, designed to intimidate those holding the hearings into being too afraid of public pressure to accomplish anything useful?
Russell Simmons, a music and fashion entrepreneur who helped pioneer hip-hop, said that blanket suspicion of Muslims in the United States was no different to waves of xenophobia and racism in the past.
"It's our job to stand up and protect them because if they go, we're next — blacks, Jews," Simmons said.
How paradoxical that in saying this, Simmons is running interference for adherents of an ideology that is also held by groups that are doing violence to blacks in Darfur and to Jews in Israel.
Several speakers, who included Christian pastors, imams and rabbis, noted that Times Square was the site of a major bomb scare last year, but that while the would-be bomber was Muslim, so was the citizen who alerted police.
"He was a Muslim from Senegal," said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, a prominent inter-faith leader who has run into fiery opposition over his idea for an Islamic cultural center near the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York.
"The real battleground is not between America and Islam," he said. "It's between extremists in Islam, extremists in America."
Rauf, you may recall, initially declined to denounce Hamas, and only did so later after an outcry.
Marc Schneier, a well-known rabbi, told the crowd that "American Muslims are as fully American as any other faith community and to hold hearings and not to invite other faith leaders to testify on behalf of the American Muslim community — that is an injustice."
"The underlying premise of these hearings will stigmatize American Muslims," he said.
This is a baseless assertion. Like the Big Lie, it is endlessly repeated, so that many people take it for granted, but there is nevertheless no reason why it should be so. That there are jihadists among Muslims in America is a fact. To investigate that fact is in no way to assert that all Muslims in America are jihadists — and to claim this so repeatedly and insistently is to discourage such investigations, which, whether or not this outcome is intended, will have the effect of enabling the jihadists among Muslims in America to continue their work with less law enforcement scrutiny.
King has drawn heavy fire since announcing the hearings.
But he defended himself Sunday on CNN, saying "there is an effort to radicalize efforts within the Muslim community."
He stressed that Americans inspired by Al-Qaeda pose a unique threat to public safety, more so than right-wing extremists opposed to President Barack Obama or left-wing environmentalists.
"We're talking about the affiliates of Al-Qaeda who have been radicalizing, and there's been self-radicalization going on within the Muslim community, within a very small minority, but it's there," said King, hinting that violence by those extremists was not equivalent to that of others.
US Attorney General Eric Holder "is not saying he's staying awake at night because of what's coming from anti-abortion demonstrators or coming from environmental extremists or from neo-Nazis. It's the radicalization right now in the Muslim community," King added.
Representative Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, disagreed with the premise of the Republican's move and called for an "alternative view."
"I challenge the basic premise of the hearings," he added.
Ellison welcomed a congressional investigation into radicalization, but said that looking only at Islam is like looking into organized crime and talking only about the Russian community or focusing on Irish gangs alone.
"I just think it doesn't make sense to narrow in on a discrete insular group that has already been the target of a certain amount of discrimination," he said.
"Discrimination"? Really? Where? Call the EEOC! Where is the documentation for Ellison's claim? Are Muslims being refused jobs? Denied promotions? He would probably say yes, but this is largely a self-provoked phenomenon: Muslims make demands on companies to change their policies, they decline, and Muslims sue for discrimination. See, for example, the cases of Disney and Abercrombie & Fitch.
Meanwhile, hate crimes against Muslims are so rare (see here, here and here) that Hamas-linked CAIR has to trump them up to maintain the media myth of Muslims as victims.

When do they rally to denounce as satanic islamic scripture verses like “The Day [of judgment] will not come until you fight the Jews and kill them” and strike them from islamic scripture?
When do they rally to denounce as satanic the koranic scriptures allowing beating of one’s wife with a stick?
I could sit here for another 20 minutes typing direct quotes from the koran and hadiths allowing things that in the USA are illegal, immoral, unethical, and considered just plain evil by civilized human beings, but we all know that would be an utter waste of my 20 minutes, since most regulars here already know the truth, and the occassional drop in shit stirrer is not interested in the truth in front of their faces because they are insane and not capable of rational thought and understanding. The muslims who make ludicrous statements about islam rising and dominating the world are in for a real surprise, since they don’t get that islam has been spouting the same BS for 1,400 years and has neither risen nor accomplished a single damn thing for the betterment of humanity and our world.

Their protest is in opposition to their claim. If they are Americans then they should not object to the inquiry into attempts to force change on the US and its people to something foriegn and entirely different. Yet they do object.

Pamela – you said it best. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslim. It’s WAY past time to have these hearings. And any Muslim who would actually stand for TRUE peace would not object. It’s for their safety, too. But, then again, these people just don’t get it. Never have, and never will. 1400 years of irrational thought, behavior, bigotry and hate. It’s all about their hate, always has been. It’s all about discrimination against all non-Muslims, and total subjugation over anything non-Muslim. If they’d overhaul their ideology and religion, drop the violence and murder idiocy(how about starting with tossing that koran piece-o-trash, and rewriting it) maybe they’d be accepted here. But not this way. No way. No how.

Don’t forget when they talk about Islam dominating the world that means once they are done with the rest of us they will, in reality, move on to the Shia v. Sunni global civil war. Islam ushering in an era of peace can only mean the peace of the grave. Which goes along with the Orwellian meanings we find so often when studying Islam. Ex// “Freedom means perfect slavery to Allah.” And so on…

Not one of them has every shown their faces against ANY islamic terrorist attack. Not one of them has condemned attacks on non-muslims. They’re too busy whining about the mythical “backlash” against themselves. Their advocacy groups coach them to NOT co-operate with the police or FBI. I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them.

Also, why is it acceptable for Muslims to fear an open congressional hearing but it’s racism when people find themselves fearful of tens of thousands of Islamic jihad attacks in the last decade? Isn’t killing ‘unbelievers’ the ultimate example of toxic ‘racism’? Let’s have some hearings on the dwindling non-Muslim populations of the entire Dar al-Islam.

Maybe they should have more accurately called their rally “We are all dhimmi Idiots” lined up for the slaughter or “we are the uninformed” or “we will gladly give you America if you promise not to hurt us” or “Hi mom, proud of me now?” or “We are all basking in our self-righteousness”
By the way Russell, compassion for your enemies usually leads to being conquered, subjugated or murdered.

Oh, and I’m not done yet. Many thanks to the MSM (& much to my dismay that included Fox again) for completely ignoring the massive counter-jihad protests but covering this laughable POS. You never let us down, do you? You only broadcast what you want us to believe, not the facts.

Muslims are Infidelaphobic to the extreme.
It is NOT a “hate crime” to hate evil.
It is NOT Islamaphobic to HATE the below atrocities that Muslims are allowed to commit in Islam per the Koran, Mohammed, Hadith, and Sira against us Infidels.
Which of the below verses from the Koran do the Islamic Supremacist Hate Organization CAIR hate or disapprove of?
Islamic Allah is the greatest deceiver of all (3:54) and leads people astray (14:27).
The Koran was made by Allah (10:37) and always been in heaven with Allah (85:21-:22).
The Koran is flawless (39:28) and only in Arabic (39:28, 43:3).
Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them (47:4)
The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them (8:65)
Muslims must not take the infidels as friends (3:28)
Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an (8:12)
Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels (8:60)
Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them (2:191)
Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood (9:123)
When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them (9:5)
Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax (9:29)
Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable (3:85)
The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them (9:30)
Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam. (5:33)
The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque (9:28)
Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies (22:19)
How can one hate the KKK and Nazism, yet not hate Islam?
Why don’t you hate Islam?
Muslims are not only allowed to lie to us, they are required to spread Islam.
Lying, known as Taqiyya (multiple spellings possible) allow Muslims to lie to spread the advance of Islam and is routed in Koran verses 3:28 and 16:106.
ALL peaceful verses in the Koran are abrogated (made null and void) by later occurring verses in the Koran. Since the Koran is NOT presented in chronological order, but order of chapter length, from longest to shortest, one must look at the later written verses to see the truth.
Chapter 9, one the most violent chapters, is one of the later written chapters. The earlier peaceful verses were written when Mohammed was in Mecca and relatively weak and helpless. As he became stronger and was in Medina, the later verses occurred. Chapter 9 contains the one with 9:5 (verse of the sword) telling Muslims to slay us when the find us, and 9:111 (the slay AND be slain verse) is the ONLY guaranteed Muslims can get to heaven. It is not slay OR be slain, but slay AND be slain, i.e., kill Infidels until the Muslims themselves are killed.
BTW: We Infidels are so hated by Muslims that no Infidel, not even Presidents, Prime Ministers, Heads of State etc. are allowed to enter the cities of Mecca and Medina as our presence would defile the two cities.

Dear Representative King:
Thank you for sticking to your guns and having the courage to hold hearings on radicalization of Muslims in the United States. Keith Ellison and his buddies at CAIR would have us believe that there is no problem, They want us to be asleep as their Sharia creeps more and more into the fabric of our culture and society. When the Fort Hood report makes no connection to Islam as being the source of Hassan’s motivation we have to start being afraid of our own government. When P.J Crowley refuses to acknowledge that the murder of our airmen in Germany was an Islamic terrorist act, we have to start being afraid of our own government. When we see the total ignorance and incompetence of our Homeland Security Secretary in an interview on Huckabee, we have to start being afraid of our own government. The political correctness will be our downfall as our enemies know that our misguided sensitivities to diversity can be used to their advantage. Please expose the truth to the light of day.
Please press Keith Ellison and make his analogy of Islamic terrorism to Irish gangs and the Russian Mafia the joke that it is and expose his connections to groups that refuse to condemn terrorism. Ellison shouldn’t be testifying before Congress, he should be on trial for sedition.

People have to revisit the works of Orwell. “Islamophobia” is an Orwellian term. Imom Rauf and the GZ mosque are Orwellian.
This farce (represented by the pictures above) is what Orwell called “Doublethink” in 1984.
“Doublethink” is consciously being aware of a contrary reality (jihad, 911, Islamic Jew-hating etc.), but expressing only a non-self-censored PC thought, and then abusing people who express the contrary censored thought.
Orwell notes the attack on critics (in this case the critics of Islam’s dogmas) is usually done by the abuse of language.
For example: by calling critics of Islam “racist” even though the attackers are consciously aware that Islam is not a race (censored thought), knowing (e.g.) that Arabs are a Semitic people, that the Muslims of the Caucasians are Caucasians, but persisting in the abuse of language (“racist” e.g.) anyway to intimidate, silence etc.
What is insightful in Orwell’s observation re “double-think” is that they (“Double-thinkers”) have conditioned themselves to believe their own bullshit. (That’s the warning of 1984 re how totalitarian systems suppress critical thinking, and ultimately reach to control thought itself.)
Orwell’s observations re speech and behavior of people in the USSR and Nazi Germany (of his era) are very relevant re Islam’s propaganda and apologists today.

I agree with the Rabbi who said the hearings should be expanded to include the contributions of Muslims as long as we are talking about people like Zuhdi Jasser. Exclude people like Zuhdi and you will wind up adding maybe five more minutes to the hearings. Contributions to America by Rauf? Laughable.
It gives me no pleasure to say that Rabbis like this are idiots. They are like the German Jews led to the slaughter. Oh no, if I am a politically correct moron then the Jihadis will leave me alone. After all, they really love the Jews. Unbelievable.

“Homophobia” is another Orwellian term, B.T.W. One wonders how Orwell would have seen the homosexual supremacists’ efforts to supplant Judeo-Christian mores with their own radical Greenwich Village/San Francisco “values” of moral/sexual relativist anarchy.
But as far as the supporters of Islamic supremacism who attended that rally: They are the types who, in the late 1930’s/early ’40’s, would have taken part in rallies in, say, New York City, holding up signs saying “I am a German, too” – completely organized by the Nazi front Bund.

Pretty soon, all of this nonsense (Orwellian charges of racism, Islamophobia etc.)is going to slam into the hard economic wall of reality as the Mideast and North Africa face dramatically rising food prices (wheat especially) that may well bring the region to famine of biblical proportions. The Muslim Mideast is not facing the reality that is resulting from the economic rise of Asia (especially china) in regard to the demand for wheat.
The Islamic countries in the Mideast should be looking to Israel as the political-economic model for their survival. But they can’t do that because of the Jew-hating dogmas of Islam.
The Islamic cultures of North Africa and the Middle East are looking to the past and trying by violence, by force, to recreate a dead past. They must create secular governments (separation of mosque and state), high-tech, food production (again look to Israel), and educational system for the future.
Islam is killing Muslim minds in North Africa and the Mideast (especially) and will soon bring famine to their door. But then they will blame “the Jews” and America when that happens.

Actually its more like the 1941 Left’s demonstrations against American involvement in WW2. There is a famous newsreel-and I’ve seen it on the net (it took place on or shortly before June 21, 1941)- of protesters outside the White House demanding non-support of Britain, and a day later (6/22/1941) the same people (after Hitler attacked the USSR on 6/22/1941) are demanding America enter the war. Can you say “Doublethink”?
Orwell’s insight is re the conditioning of the minds that would do that.
This is the same kind of mind that will call “racist” or “Islamophobic” people who point out that in Egypt 90% of the women there have suffered genital mutilation. Saying that is “Islamophobic”-even though those who charge “islomophobia” know it is the truth.
They “doublethink” and believe their own bullshit.
“Nine out of ten Egyptian women suffer genital mutilation. US President Barack Obama said Jan. 29, “The right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to free speech, and the ability to determine their own destiny … are human rights. And the United States will stand up for them everywhere.” Does Obama think that genital mutilation is a human rights violation? To expect Egypt to leap from the intimate violence of traditional society to the full rights of a modern democracy seems whimsical.”-Spengler, Asia Times
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/MB02Ak01.html
In “doublethink” it (female genital mutilation in Egypt) is known and censored by Muslims, and then language is abused (“racist” e.g.) against those who express the reality (the truth).

A sample letter to send to Peter King:
BY FACSIMILE:

March 7, 2011
Congressman Peter King
339 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
In re: ISLAMIC TERROR HEARINGS
Dear Congressman King,
Please continue with the Hearings and do not be deterred from fact finding. It is most URGENT that these hearings takes place and that the dots are connected and made public. The Investigative Project, CAMERA, Middle East Forum, Hudson Institute, Pam Geller, etc., etc., ALL must be heeded. The facts are real, on the ground and time is running out to preserve a western type democracy and an American Constitution that really is humankind’s last best hope for Freedom and Democratic Secular ideals.
There is an expression in arabic and expresses a consistent course of political and religious behavior for Islam : “al- wala’ w’al-bara”. It deals with loyalty to either the state or Islam and Islam must be chosen for Muslims. The problem is the Qu’ran and concepts of duality and abrogation. The problem is that the majority of Muslims profess Islam in it’s totality and are ignorant of what they profess (“true Islam is spoken in Arabic”). If you google the above term and read it and ask Congressman Ellison what that means, his answer will have to be illogical (or mere taqiyah) – to be a good Muslim, one must follow the Qu’ran exactly – no deviation is possible, hence no reformation is possible as did take place in all other great religions (after about 1400 years) – allegiance is to Allah and not the state. To be a good Muslim you must therefore adhere to jihad and the teachings and fatwas, etc. It gets tiring. Islamic extremism is therefore consistent with the Qu’ran – later teachings out rule the earlier – the violent over the “peaceful”. This can not be tolerated in America – political Islam cannot be separated from religious Islam – it’s like Nazism all over again – THAT is the problem.
Please note that the Ikhwan Islam (Brotherhood) documents in the Holyland Foundation Trial (5th Cir Ct. Of Apps, Texas) are most illustrative of what the US government is up against and the need to take action and “weed out” those in government who would overthrow our government, our way of life and our proud American jurisprudence, all for antithetical Islamic jurisprudence and Shariah Law – the lists of “brother” organizations in America in that court evidence is astounding and scary.
My letter will not be “P.C.” – I will say this clearly: it is the verses in the Qu’ran which drive extremism. Period. It is the verses in the Qu’ran which cannot be changed (al-wala’ w’al-bara), hence they must be obeyed. The Qu’ran commands the faithful to destroy the kuffar and demand jiyza, that is us.
I applaud you, your gumption and your actions. Please stay the course and ignore the race baiters and haters.
Yours in Freedom and American Constitutional Exceptionalism,

While channel surfing, I came upon CNN talking to some celebrity at that rally. He’s a black man who I think may be a rapper because he said the ralliers have the support of Puffy and some others whose names I can’t recall at the moment. Anyway, he said that if those of us who were in favor of the investigative hearings on terrorism as well as those of us who are concerned about the creeping Sharia weren’t so ignorant about Islam, then we’d know we’ve nothing to fear from Islam.

And yet they’re taking the position that any investigation into extremism amounts to a “racist” attack on ALL Muslims. They might as well be wearing signs saying “We are all Islamic terrorists.”
You’d think that all those patriotic American Muslims would be happy when someone in authority is sincerely concerned to protect their communities from infection by the Tiny Minority of Extremists, and from the consequent stain on their moderate reputation. Wouldn’t they?

Here’s my take on a few of the signs…I’m afraid some may keep me up tonight as a struggle to ascertain the meaning behind the markers….
Dear [nsert bad photo of Rep King] (and other bigots and racists)… We all know this really isn’t about islam…. Face it, you’re all a dying breed.
Huh?????

So what’s with the King sign? If it’s not about islam, then what could it possibly be about? And whom constitutes the dying breed? Old white men? Republicans? Christians/Jews? s
Another sign worth an hour or two of sleep…
“Atheists for Islam”
Huh????? I guess this means islam is not a religion since atheists would not endorse a religion. Perhaps this should be submitted to the supreme court as step one in getting islam eradicated from sea to shining sea…
And the final sign worth commentary…
“I am a proud American muslim”
I have always wrestled with the order of words…does American modify muslim, thereby giving greater weight to muslim than American (me thinks I may be onto something)? Ever hear of an American Italian or American German? How ’bout an American Christian? No, it’s normally the other way around…Italian American, German American, etc.
Everything occurring in the muslim world is all about building the muslim ummah and caliphate…not unlike a nation without borders. The writing is on the wall, er, I mean, signs!

Yes! Let’s have a list of muslim contributions! Let’s see how far that goes. I have a hand to count them on.
And beside it, let’s have a list of “just” the Jewish contributions, and let’s see how dwarfed the muslim one gets.

“Proud American Muslims”? Proud of your self-proclaimed prophet? Seriously?
Muslims, keep your heads down. The world has read your books and history, there’s no place
for fairy tales or lies.

I have probably misread Karl Marx: “Religion is the opium of the people. But Islam is great.”

ISLAM STIGMATIZES ISLAM: OBAMA AND THE PETER KING HEARINGS
In a predictable reaction to Peter King’s House hearings on Islamic radicalization in America, an obvious problem given the recent record surge in Moslems arrested for plotting domestic mass murder attacks*, Peter McDonough, deputy national security advisor to President Obama, said this: “Radicalization efforts prey on people who feel disillusioned or marginalized and that it is important not to fuel radicalization by stigmatizing Muslim Americans.” Mr. McDonough and his clueless boss seem oblivious to the fact that it is ISLAM THAT STIGMATIZES ISLAM. Their oblivious that Islam has had a public relations problem with the infidel world from its inception 1400 years ago-since its prophet disillusioned with peacefully spreading his faith and marginalized within the Meccan community for attacking its religion as sinful, personally damning and violently hated by God, picked up the sword to save his failing movement; picked it up in rage against all infidels who scorned him and cried: ‘Believe in me or die! Believe in me or die! And if it pleases me to let you live I’ll crush you with oppression!’ Since that fatal day when Mohammed lost his mind and was radicalized into a killing machine for God Islam has become the terror and scourge of mankind-slashing, burning and murdering its way to power, glory and empire in imitation of its bloodthirsty, ruthless, predatory founder. Islam means endless war against mankind until it’s conquered and subdued. It means lawlessness and immorality in pursuit of absolute power. And the number of Moslems who believe in it are legion.

I didn’t spot the “Atheists for ISLAM” sign earlier. He’s lucky I wasn’t there, he’d be wearing it upside-down as a tail. Any atheist — and I have been one for 50+ years — who says he or she is “for Islam” is a moron, a hypocrite, and a liar. Creatures such as that one are predominantly ideological collectivists at heart and should at least show enough intelligence to choose a totalitarian system that matches their beliefs instead of humping some cretinous 7th century desert trans-sexual (“Allah” was originally a goddess, hence the appearance of the, erm, “stone”) sand dune god.
He’s not there because he loves Islam. He’s there because he hates America.
