Jewish Journal: Ice Cream, You Scream, We All Scream for Hamas

6

Wannabe hack reporter Jonah Lowenfeld surprises no one with his predictable hatchet job Summer Night for Human Rights event featured a panoply of Muslim speakers who have suffered and deserve better. I'm counter-jihad. Is Lowenfeld pro-jihad? Pro-clitorectomy? Pro-honor killing? Pro-Jew killing? Pro-Hindu killing? Because essentially that is the stance he is taking by covering up for this radical ideology and painting it as if it were Disneyland.

Lowenfeld was at our event, the Summer Night for Human Rights on Saturday night, where this obviously soulless creature was unmoved by the harrowing and heartbreaking testimony of Muslim after Muslim, sharing their terrible stories of leaving Islam in fear for their lives. There is no reportage or coverage of that event. And his questions to me were merely talking points from groups that aspire to annihilate his people. Yet despite his presence at our event, he also wrote nothing about what was said — not a word about the three hours of riveting, harrowing, heartrending testimony from ex-Muslims who had been shunned, denounced, ostracized, threatened, and even stabbed simply for having the courage of their convictions. Instead, Lowenfeld gives glowing, lavish, loving coverage to the Bund-like Hamas-CAIR hate event, passing over this pro-Sharia group's tacit endorsement of the treatment of Muslim apostates, and instead painting a deceptively rosy picture:

Meanwhile, at the nearby Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, about 500 Muslim men, women and children could be found in the parking lot outside, eating ice cream, Indian food or Fuddrucker’s cheeseburgers made with halal meat.

Ice cream and cheeseburgers, Jonah? Nothing about how Sharia violates the civil rights and human rights of women and non-Muslims, and threatens the lives of Muslim apostates such as those who spoke at our event? Nothing at all about how the concept of "Islamophobia," with which we are so relentlessly admonished, was invented by the Muslim Brotherhood in order to quell any dissent and frighten people into thinking that resisting jihad and Islamic supremacism is "bigoted"?

The program for CAIR-LA’s “A Summer Night for Civil Rights” included a pair of comedians and a few musical acts, separated by a short intermission, when the entire crowd filed out of the auditorium and into an adjacent courtyard for the prayer that takes place at sunset. Men and women, standing separately, removed their shoes and stood at the edges of long strips of butcher paper taped to the concrete. The prayers, conducted in Arabic, took about 10 minutes.

“The people behind Islamophobia are being exposed,” CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush told the crowd, noting that groups like his are pushing back against those who target Muslims. “Muslims are becoming, I guess, assertive, proud, courageous and standing up for their rights and standing up for their identity.”

In an interview on Monday, Ayloush said that he hadn’t known Geller was Jewish until last week, and that his group had initially intended to say nothing about her June 23 counter-protest. 

“When we found out that she was actually speaking at the Jewish Federation, which is a mainstream organization, we couldn’t ignore that anymore,” Ayloush said.

It's glaring that Lowenfeld doesn't probe or question Hamas-CAIR operatives like Ayloush, a man who has repeatedly refused to condemn Hamas and Hizballah. Nor does he conduct the hostile interview that he so energetically pursued with me. Ayloush said that Hamas-CAIR had intended to "say nothing about her June 23 counter-protest." Did Lowenfeld ask him, Why not? Why not address the human rights abuses under the Sharia that had caused so much suffering for that panel of almost a dozen Muslims? Of course Hamas-CAIR had nothing to say about that, but that was OK with Lowenfeld.

Ayloush goes on to say: "When we found out that she was actually speaking at the Jewish Federation, which is a mainstream organization, we couldn’t ignore that anymore." No, of course he couldn't ignore it. He knew that left-wing Jewish weaklings would cave. What they didn't know, and what the Jewish Federation didn't know, was that the blowback would not only continue, but get worse. Just as with the Ground Zero Mosque controversy, the elites underestimated the rational and reasoned "little people."

Ayloush is calling for an end to Zionism, likening it to the apartheid regime in South Africa, and declaring it to be "a political ideology whose tentacles are rooted in racism." Now that's real projection for ya.

Lowenfeld never questions Hamas-CAIR's ties to Hamas, the unindicted co-conspirator status CAIR was given in the largest terror-funding trial in our nation's history, the convictions of several of its leaders on jihad terror charges, or Hamas-CAIR's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that is dedicated in its own words, according to a captured internal document, to "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within."

Lowenfeld's silly piece is essentially a press release for Hamas-CAIR. That is hardly surprising. But Lowenfeld really went the extra mile. And while a hunchback can't see his own hunch, any objective person who reads this will spot Lowenfeld's naked bias.

I’m with you up to one point: How can one make a blanket statement and say they love Muslims while saying they are against Islam? What is a Muslim if not a person who, at least theoretically, follows Islam? Actually, I would love a definition of a Muslim…Robert recently said he’d like to know exactly what a “moderate” Muslim is and I suppose I take it one step further by asking: What is a Muslim? Period.
Isn’t saying you have nothing against Muslims, only against Islam, like saying one has nothing against Nazis, but hates Nazism? I truly don’t understand this and always scratch my head when you and Robert say you have nothing against Muslims. Please explain the difference between a Muslim and a person who follows Islam. Given all I’ve learned about Islam from you and others, I can no longer say I have nothing against Muslims. Are not Muslims, after all, the humans who carry forward the tenets of Islamic teachings?

“Meanwhile, at the nearby Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, about 500 Muslim men, women and children could be found in the parking lot outside, eating ice cream, Indian food or Fuddrucker’s cheeseburgers made with halal meat.”
>Pam, you CAN’T be right about these people; they MUST be good people. After all, they are eating icream and cheeseburgers. What could be more American than that?
“In an interview on Monday, Ayloush said that he hadn’t known Geller was Jewish until last week, and that his group had initially intended to say nothing about her June 23 counter-protest.”
> With the name “Geller”, he didn’t know that she was Jewish! They indended to say nothing about her until last week! I guess CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush wants us to believe that he is an innocent, naive child, and that his organization doesn’t follow the “islamophobic”, “anti-muslim” Pamela Geller!
As Hannity said, Journalism died in America in 2008.

I agree with Sarah. It really does not make sense to talk about moderate muslims because you cannot be a real muslim without following Islam and by no stretch of the imagination can Islam be called moderate.
But comparisons like this exist because people are paranoid about being labelled as racists even again a racist ideology.
It is like the people who try to separate Jews from Zionism as if such a thing could exist.
We need to call a spade a spade, (another politically incorrect statement), and start calling the enemy what they really are, “MUSLIMS.”

This article reminds me that I should call the Marriott Manhattan Beach and thank them for hosting Pamela and Robert’s Summer Night for Human Rights. You can bet the Marriott received pressure from islamofascist groups to cancel your event. How much and of what type we’ll probably never know.

As is usual w/muslo-fascists, Hussam Ayloush doesn’t have any objections to the religious apartheids that constitute ALL islamic states and the gender apartheids that constitute most islamic states.

The LA Jewish Journal is a joke. A couple of years back, one of their “reporters’ was covering the annual anti-Israeli hate fest at UC Irvine hosted by the Muslim Student Union. I hand-delivered to her the biggest “scoop” she would ever have about how Hillel and the OC Jewish Federation were trying to stop Jewish community members from coming to campus protest the hateful speakers. Of course, she never wrote it. Now that same reporter is running the Rose Project of the OC Jewish Federation, which is funding the Olive Tree Initiative, a hare-brained venture that sends students to Israel and the West bank to hear “both sides” of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, but which in reality, is heavily slanted in favor of the Palestinians and features contacts with figures from the International Solidarity Movement and even a 2009 meeting with a high-ranking Hamas official named Dweik. I could go on and on.
