[ April 15, 2024 ]
I was on Fox and Friends to discuss Abu Sulayman al-Irlandi, nee John Walker Lindh, a United States citizen and Muslim convert who was captured as an enemy
combatant during the United States' 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. The "American Taliban" is
serving a 20-year prison sentence for war crimes in the service of the
Afghanistan's Taliban. He is a traitor of the highest order. He was captured during the Battle of
Qala-i-Jangi, a violent Taliban prison uprising during which Central
Intelligence Agency officer and great American hero Johnny "Mike" Spann
was killed.
Abu Sulayman al-Irlandi, nee John Phillip Walker Lindh, is a traitor and should have
faced a firing squad for his treason. He joined the jihad and actively
engaged in the killing of US soldiers. He attended a lecture by Osama
Bin Laden. Instead of rotting in a well-earned grave, al-Irlandi and
other jihadists are suing the US government trial over
high-risk Muslim terrorists congregating together for "group prayer." He should receive no further concessions.
His religion is what got him into prison.
Even those who believe that he misunderstands the supposedly true peaceful teachings of
Islam have to grant that he wouldn't have been fighting against American troops
in Afghanistan if it weren't for his Muslim beliefs. He is not going to be
associating with people who believe in peaceful, moderate Islam, but with
convicted, violent Muslim felons. This will only reinforce the beliefs that led
him to try to kill Americans in the first place.

Here again we see the same Islamic pattern — Islamic supremacists always try to push the idea that wherever Islamic law
and American law conflict, it is American law that must give way. But this is
especially absurd in prison, where security considerations must be paramount,
and where people are being deprived of certain rights as punishment for their
crimes.
This is war, and security considerations must be
paramount. He wants to meet with people who are violent felons. He should be
given no special accommodation.

given no special accommodation.
Imams from his school of Islamic jurisprudence have said that he doesn't
have to pray in a group. So this whole thing is about trying to push for
concessions, not about religious freedom at all.

Peaceful
religious practice in American is a derivative of our right to the pursuit of
our own happiness, which itself is a right made possible only in a context of
respect for the rights of others. Lindh does not share such respect.
He made that clear when he turned his weapon on his own countrymen in the
mountains of Afghanistan.

They all work from the same template. It is ridiculous that he actually has the priviledge/right to be able to sue! He doesn’t deserve to breathe fresh air, imo. Madness.

Perfect Pamela!
Even Fox does not seam to get it, that Traitor lost his right to anything when he took up arms against his own american ppl and tried to murder them!
that scum is lucky to be alive, they want extra rights, f*ck them.
Now! For the first time in 67 years jews are being persecuted in germany, but not by some old or new nazi, NO by the same islamo-fascist scum which worked together with Hitler to destroy all jews all together.
But the jewish germans rather fight some very old demential nazis, or all the dead nazis and building another holocoust museum, but yet are again to scared to fight the real living nazis, for those who have not guessed it yet, the islamist that is!
For y’all who dont know, a jewish Rabbi was beat down in berlin, he had a broken cheekbone and his 6 year old doughter who was with him was threatened with dead!
… and yesterday a group of jewish studends were spat at and hurled obseneties at.
Who did it, some 90 year old original nazi? Some young neo-nazis? NOOOO! F+cking muslim immigrants, probably from turkey or leabanon etc. did it! And that was just the beginning. The jewish community from berlin suggested to their Students not to wear the Star of David, nor the Kippa while in pupblic!
What ever happened to NEVER AGAIN???
I believe it is time to kick the counter-jihad up a notch, or too!
Does that mean I am a hatemonger, or a Islamophobe, well I guess it does, does it not?!
Woe to them who call bitter sweet and sweet bitter, who call light dark and dark light and call evil good and good evil!!!

Page 219 “…By becoming a Muslim, John Walker Lindh had entered in Muhammad’s narcissistic bubble universe.
…John alienated himself from the rest of his countrymen. According to the Qur’an,
Muslims are not supposed to make friends with unbelievers. (Q.9:23)
They are asked to fight those who do not believe in Allâh (Q.9:29) and murder them. (Q.9:123)
A Muslim is not allowed to accept another religion. (Q.3:85)”

Hi Steve, you could not be more correct. The days of standing around pretending NOT TO OFFENDED when we really are OFFENDED is OVER!
I for one will not stop calling things by their ugly names. No window dressing here.
There is no moral relativism coming from my mouth. I never tolerate the intolerable!
Same with 9/11…NEVER FORGET! That sure died out didn’t it? Not with me it didn’t.
The more people try to forget, the more I bring it back to the fore.
I won’t allow my small time on earth being silenced by the PC and thought police.
I am one who in my neighborhood is known as “bucking the system” and I wear that as a badge of honor.
I teach my children the same because the SYSTEM could care less about anybody.
My children have learned that through experience. These people are not family, they
are not blood relatives, they are not to be trusted ever!
I am a truth monger and to some twisted mixed up human beings, that equates to hate.
If they think I hate because I am all about bringing forward and maintaining the truth, consider me blessed.

Great interview!!! It is so absurd indeed to be discussing the so-called rights of a prisoner who should have long been executed and body disposed of in whatever manner treasonous trash is dealth with.

I like the reference to Jihadist Ideology. Let others ponder the imponderable about whether there is any difference between it and Islam according to Al Hayat University scholars.
There should be some way to reference Obama’s freind Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Prime Minister of Turkey, and what he says about the role of mosques, as barracks.
It is a mistake to say that he is not required by his Jihadist Ideology to pray (plan attacks and strategy) with others. Let him offer his experts to volunteer that it is conspiratorial, and that he is not some lone wolf. He will be painting a picture of mosques, group pray sites, that conforms to the view held and announced by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
I also get the thought of Muslim group street pray, in France and elsewhere, as battle preparation. The Muslim view of their own group street prayer is revealed by how they view the mere presence of EDL and Tommy Robinson in their Muslim-claimed settlement territory. They view it as battle preparation.
A declaration of a Sharia-zone is a declaration of war, not to be confused with lone wolf activity.
The bill of rights still apply to convicted prisoners. The ban on cruel and unusual punishment makes this self evident. Don’t get too carried away saying he gave up his rights, so as to imply all rights.

@ Madeleine:
Looks like you want to walk on the gravel road and walk trough the narrow gate and with that you are in danger to become a truely good person.
The TRUTH trumps everything, but as we all know we are all somewhat reality biased!
What do I mean by that?
Well, what you are doing by questioning everything and going against the system, against the mainstream so to speak, you also find it to be extraordinary, you are actually going out of your way, right?
I feel the same way, BUT we should not feel anything like rebels or outcasts, because what we do is the real NORMAL, the mainstream is doing the extra mile to be evil, but we are all already conditioned by our souroundings so that is why we feel as outcast by doing the right thing, but we should feel very comfortable with it and the mainstream should feel guilty.
As you know that is not what happens, so why do the immoral feel moral and the moral feel somwhat outcasted, or rebelish? Because we are all, yes! even us, we are all reality biased to some degree. We have to tell us on a daily bases, that we are the normal ones and the other are the un-normal and immoral ones.

Looking beautiful Pamela! Nice comments, too.

The guy doesn’t need to be provided with networking opportunities so he’ll be up to speed when he gets out. Will he be rehabilitated as to the peaceful nature of Islam by then, or are he and his fellow Mujahideen just counting down the days until they can complete their jihads?
Any update on the theological persuasion of imams in prisons these days and what they are teaching the inmates? Too bad so many Americans think Islam has a peaceful influence on devout worshippers.

For Sunni Muslims, the patriarch of Islamic terrorism is Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. He who was born in 1703 in the Arabian Peninsula and was a student of Ibn Taymiyah. Wahhabist Islam is known today as the most pure and authentic, and thus fundamental form of the religion. Muhammad Wahhab based his Islam on the Salaf, the earliest Muslim ancestors who were the Companions of Muhammad.
The Salaf brought us the Quran, the Sira, Tarikh, and Hadith – Islam’s oldest and most authoritative sources. Since Muhammad said that Islam could not change, Wahhab taught that anything which was not officially mandated by Muhammad and Allah had no place in the religion. It is why Wahhabists call themselves “Salafists,” and why they are the best, most authentic Muslims.
In direct contradiction to all who apply the “radical” label to the Islam of today’s terrorists, the only way for Wahhab or Salaf Muslims to be practicing a corrupted version of Islam, is for Muhammad and his Companions to have gotten Islam wrong. And if that were true, the religion has no basis of any kind. The moment you come to grips with this simple, yet profound, truth, the connection between Islam and terror becomes clear.
So as far as I can see, Abu Sulayman al-Irlandi, nee John Phillip Walker Lindh has not mended his ways, and have NO intention of doing so. He’s just another hard core radical salafist.

PAMELA GELLER , YOUR HARD WORK IS APPRECIATED BY MANY PEOPLE ! YOU DO A GREAT JOB ! PLEASE , KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING . THANK YOU .

I guess – by the very low standards that the LSM/MSM (and now, it appears, even Fox News!) have set, you could call that interview a success. After all, the interviewer lobbed some pretty softball questions (considering how stoopid, ignorant and dhimmified most of them are these days!) and not only gave you good time to respond, but didn’t interrupt to show a superior understanding (or whatever motivates the enemedia these days!). The photos they kept running of this John Lindh character were pretty unflattering, but then, this asshat is pretty ugly no matter when the photo was taken or from which angle!
All in all, Pamela, you hit a fairly wide audience, looking great and sounding/expressing your ideas even better!! Your dhimmy enemies (“dhimmenies!” – new word for our pisslamic lexicon!!) will have an even harder time painting you as some wild-eyed islamophobe if you keep up the calm (and beautiful!) appearance! Go, Geller, Go!!

You are so right Pamela—Thank you for speaking for all of Americans who are familiar with The HQ. Those who have not read the Qur’an or white washed, sanitized versions (Korans) should not be allowed to even speak about this issue at the “bully pulpit” (MSM). Those of us who have read several versions, including those sanitized for western readers versions, know exactly what you are saying and why. Thank you and I don’t even try to argue with anyone who has not read it/them.
This child’s parents are to blame and should be sitting along side him in prison and wonder why as many of us do, he was not executed.
