My weekly column, Defending the West, over at WND is up. This week Bull O'Reilly gets taken to the woodshed for being an irascible, puffed-up tool.
Story continues below advertisementExclusive: Pamela Geller indicts talker with fawning over radical Ground Zero imam
Bill O’Reilly had Ground Zero mosque radical Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf on for a full segment last week to shill the deceptive narrative of his latest book. In a telling moment, Rauf claimed during the segment to have lost “at least” 60 Muslims on 9/11. Only the Muslims separate out the Muslim dead from the rest (and that number of Muslims goes from 19 to 300). No other group points to the number of Christians or Jews, etc., who were killed on 9/11.
For his part, O’Reilly promised to pick up a hammer and help the imam build his Islamic center if Rauf “condemned terrorism.” What O’Reilly neglected to qualify was Rauf’s definition of “terrorism.” In Islam, terrorists are those who defend themselves against Islam. Under Islam, the definition of “terrorism” is resistance to Islam.
O’Reilly neglected to query how Rauf could claim to want to build a multi-faith center since, under Islam, non-believers are prohibited from praying in a mosque except when invited for dawah (proselytizing). Rauf said, “We have to fight against the extremists in all of our faith traditions.” This was patently dishonest. Rauf was trying to deflect attention away from the fact that only Muslim “extremists” are killing other people because of their faith. Christian and Jewish “extremists” – i.e. those who are devout the way Islamic jihadists are devout Muslims – aren’t committing violence in the name of their religion. Only Muslims are. Rauf and other Islamic supremacists hope you don’t notice that his call to fight against “extremism” is really a diversion of attention away from the only “extremists” who are violent.
O’Reilly never addressed Rauf’s idea of “peace.” Nor did he ask him about comments like this one: “In a true peace it is impossible that a purely Jewish state of Palestine can endure. … In a true peace, Israel will, in our lifetimes, become one more Arab [Muslim] country, with a Jewish minority.”
Ground Zero mega-mosque Imam Rauf raised no objections to official calls for suicide bombing in America and Israel. In a revealing interview, Rauf said: “We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaida has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims. You may remember that the U.S.-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children. This has been documented by the United Nations. And when Madeleine Albright, who has become a friend of mine over the last couple of years, when she was secretary of state and was asked whether this was worth it, said it was worth it.”
No mention of the 270 million victims of over a millennium of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilation and enslavement. No mention of the recent slaughter by Muslims of Christians, Hindus, Jews and non-believers in Indonesia, Thailand, Ethiopia, Somalia, the Philippines, Lebanon, Israel, Russia, China, Egypt, Nigeria, Iraq, etc.
Rauf exhibits no candor, and never comes close to any criticism of Islamic jihadists. He has even said: “Islam does not need a reformation.” He has also been dishonest about the Ground Zero mosque, which is now a “community center” nowhere near Ground Zero – but in December 2009, Rauf said in the New York Times: “New York is the capital of the world, and this location close to 9/11 is iconic.” The Times was clear, unlike now, that the location was crucial: “The location was precisely a key selling point for the group of Muslims who bought the building in July. A presence so close to the World Trade Center, ‘where a piece of the wreckage fell,’ said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the cleric leading the project, ‘sends the opposite statement to what happened on 9/11.’”
Rauf is also a “prominent figure” in “The Perdana Organization,” which funded the genocidal Jew-hating terrorist group behind the murderous attack on Jewish soldiers on the warship flotilla that sailed against Israel in 2010.
Read the rest. Pathetic.

It needs to be repeated that in York Pa. at a four night lecture at a church meeting about the subject of Islam. That during the question and answer period the question about this Ground Zero Mosque came up.
One of the speakers was an Arab Christian,Rev. Joseph Moussa,who lived in Syria many years said that the construction of this mosque would be taken in the Middle East as the message “You see what we did here, we brought down thetwin towers and build up a mosque.” Likewise, the other speaker,Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, who in times past was both Muslim and a Hezbollah member but now is a Christian. said the the building of this Ground Zero Mosque would be taken in the as the message “We have killed and have been victorious.” In addition, in his book ISLAM:THE HOUSE I LEFT BEHIND on page 99 it reads “The mosque is vital for for establishing Muslims as sovereign over non-Muslims in a non-Islamic society. Building a mosque in a non-Islamic society or counrty symbolizes Islam’s claim over that society or country,even with a non-Muslim majority.”

O’Reilly is smart enough to understand islam, yet stupid enough to ignore the facts. I used to like that guy. Anybody who helps build a mosque on American soil is helping to promote the caliphate that is designed to destroy America and all non-muslimes.
O’Reilly has lost my respect. Fox news sucks because it could be so much better. How much influence do the Saudi masters have over fox I wonder?
Michael Yousef, also a former muslim and now a Christian preacher has stated the purpose of the mosque the same as mentioned by Walter above.

My respect for O’Reilly diminishes each time he does some antic such as this. I firmly believe O’Reilly does not want a conflict with any muslim. NONE! He doesn’t want the bad publicity or Islamaphobe name attached to his personna.
I believe he is out for promotion and ratings, nothing more.
I feel that is the real reason he will not invite Pam Geller or Robert Spencer onto his show. He talks big, talks a good show…..but hes afraid of CAIR and the rest of them.
Otherwise he would have brought up the relationship between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim Students Assoc.
Don’t you think?

Bill O’Reilly has been a worthless tool ever since he got caught calling his female co-workers and trying to talk them into raunchy phone sex. He now bends over backwards to be “fair” to people like the Imam, President B. Hussein Obama, RINO Repubs and just about anyone else that stands up against evil.
It’s the “can’t we get along” crowd that history will judge as the door that Islam used to come into and destroy our culture.

Bill O’Reilly is the dumbest pinhead on TV. Hardly anything to even consider worthy to mention. I don’t know a single soul who takes this clown seriously! I mean, the O’Reilly show is basically viewed as another version of the Onion!!! LOL!!!
So you gotta be real grateful that clown is swimming against the stream rather than towards you, because people would automatically turn against you if O’Reilly would support you.
I remember when that pinheaded dumbass, who is in serious need of anger management, went to Switzerland and based that singular trip on his in-depth understanding of socialized medicine. Needless to say, we all laughed our a**es off. Sadly, some Americans like to embarrass their country and make fools of themselves.

I used to be a loyal fierce fan of Bill O’Reilly and Fox News. No more – as of four years ago. O’Reilly’s says his job is looking out for the “folks” is a farce. It’s all smoke and mirrors with O’Reilly & Beck. O’Reilly & Beck were/am in position to support New Yorkers – the “folks” and they both turn their backs on us. O’Reilly, you should bury your head in shame for avoiding and not supporting New Yorkers on this issue of building a victorious mosque to celebrate the killing of 3,000 New Yorkers. This issue of kissing up to this imam slimeball is another example of, in fact, pathetically letting down the “folks.”
The other issue is O’Reilly’s and Becks refusal to acknowledge and to make available the facts of the illegal computerized generated birth certificate of O’Bama. You both will be held accountable by a higher power for your omission, ignoring the facts and ridiculing those who are concerned with an issue which can lead to the very real possibility of the collapse of the United States of America. You both could have done something about it and you didn’t – YOU BOTH PUNKED OUT!!! As someone born and raised in Brooklyn – I feel hurt and ashamed of you O’Reilly!

O’Reilly and Beck’s-the-braindead-alcoholic (who happens to have the same last name as the German beer, Becks! Karma??) are a bunch of Onion-news readers. It’s not even worth mentioning. I bunch of friggin clowns, at best.
Here’s something far more amusing to watch than wasting time on loosers like Becks and O’Reilly.
The Italians have never been shy to openly argue and vent their opinion…

Because he is so viewed and respected O’Reilly has done a lot of harm with his most shallow words on Islam. I recall his saying on his program that the Koran has bad and good stuff in it and the Bible has good stuff and bad stuff in it, and he let it go at that implying the two religions are morally equivalent. He’s a smart enough man to research Islam much better than this and by refusing to criticize Islam he has in effect legitimized it as just another acceptable religion and nothing to be alarmed about. He has been most irresponsibly flippant on the matter because he doesn’t want any trouble. A harmful coward’s way.

Canto, as to his Bible comments, O’Reilly (no surprise) is a Catholic. I doubt he has done much independent reading of The Book, and given the quality of priests plus the stance of the Church on issues ranging from Marion worship to ecumenism, it’s not surprising he feels that way.
O’Reilly is a very negative force on television, and it’s a shame he’s got such a big megaphone.
My apologies to Catholics, but I call ’em like I see ’em.

The Curtain Closes on The O’Reilly Factor:
I quote Mr. O’Reilly: “Doesn’t the Koran condemn this type of behavior?” And the final shocker that eliminates any credibility The Factor had left: “I find it hard to believe that the prophet Mohamed would preach a religious doctrine where woman could be abused at anytime by a Muslim man and the man could be, you know, not held accountable in heaven or hell”. ( 2:55 ) (Has O’Reilly converted? Only Muslims refer to Mohamed as ‘the prophet’)

@JAT
Wow, I don’t really need any more reasons not to like BS O’Reilly, but you’ve given me one more.
I don’t think he’s ignorant of the koran, nor about the aims of islamonazis in general. He’s on their payroll and in their pocket.

IMAM RAUF
The soft spoken, moderate seeming, hypnotic imam is a master of Islamic deception. Poor unprepared Bill was overwhelmed by, and came under the spell of, Rauf’s Sufi empowered charisma and charms-which is key to his success of convincing many that he’s the voice of a moderate, progressive, liberal form of Islam, when in truth he’s supremacist to the bone as Pam’s article infallibly proves.
