Cultural Jihad: Hollywood Documentary to Mock 'Islamophobes' Pamela Geller, Breitbart
Politico
reported Monday that “two comedians are tackling the sensitive topic of
Islamophobia in the way they know best: laughter.” The article,
entitled “Film tackles Islamophobia with humor,” puffs up Negin Farsad
and Dean Obeidallah, "the co-directors of ‘The Muslims Are Coming!’
which tracks a group of Muslim-American stand-ups as they perform across
the country and tackle people’s stereotypes.”
We aren’t even allowed to discuss
Islam and the doctrine of jihad in the mainstream media, but
“Islamophobia” is a matter for comedy? How perfect: making fun of a
subject that the American people don’t even begin to understand because
of the prohibition on the subject matter.
The slaughter of religious minorities under Sharia is hardly a laughing matter. Neither are New York on 9/11, Madrid on 3/11, London on 7/7, the Bali bombing, Beslan, Boston, Mumbai and the over 20,000 jihad terror attacks worldwide since 9/11. The vicious oppression and slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, Indonesia, Egypt, Ethiopia, the Philippines, and Lebanon is not funny. The slaughter of Hindus and Buddhists through jihad is not funny.
And make no mistake: those tens of thousands of acts of jihad
violence are what lead to caution concerning devout Muslims. It doesn’t
come out of nowhere. There is a body count in the millions. It isn’t the
work of people who are accused of being “Islamophobes.” And even less
funny is that we can’t talk about it. Those few voices of truth who dare
to speak on this subject matter are marginalized, demonized and
rendered radioactive.So the new cultural jihad is to make it cool and happening and now to
make fun of the people who do talk about it at risk of their
reputations and livelihoods and personal safety.
In June 2012, Robert Spencer and I held a human rights conference in California
as a tribute to Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who was on death row in Iran
for the crime of converting from Islam to Christianity. All of the
speakers were former Muslims, and each one related his or her personal
journey away from Islam and the personal and physical cost of that
journey: loss of their families, loss of their homes, loss of their
jobs. Some spoke in harrowing detail about how Muslims physically
attacked them, solely because they had turned away from the religion.
What about the human rights of those people? Are they to be held up
to ridicule and scorn? Apparently Dean Obeidallah thinks so. He attacked
us mercilessly for holding that conference.
At the same time as our conference was being held, Dean was in another hotel nearby, speaking at a conference of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Incidentally, that group was named an unindicted co-conspirator by the Justice Department in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation for its ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Politico says: “The two have some powerful friends in their corner;
the film features cameos from such notables as Jon Stewart, David Cross,
Janeane Garofalo, Colin Quinn, Lewis Black and Aasif Mandvi.” The
Hollywood hordes who have signed on for this film have no intellectual
depth, but fighting against “Islamophobia” is perceived to be
politically correct and chi chi, and that’s all they need.
I would love to see Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah take on the
reality of Sharia. Let’s see a documentary about the monstrous misogyny
and the persecution of religious minorities in Muslim countries. That is
long overdue. But poking fun at those who do address such issues is
just part of the war in the information battle space, making it
culturally uncool and therefore toxic.
This seems to be a new trend. Another recent film is Building Babel,
an attempt to whitewash the Ground Zero Mosque developer, Sharif
El-Gamal, portraying him as an honest, hard-working Muslim fighting
against entrenched “Islamophobia” while ignoring the fact that he has
defaulted on numerous loans. PBS is running Building Babel ; our taxpayer dollars are used to poison the water supply — and I don’t mean the way seven Islamists allegedly tried to do so in Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, anti-jihad activists can’t get movies made. We couldn’t get distribution on our film, The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second Wave of the 9/11 Attacks, which features, among others, Andrew Breitbart. Even the producers of Hating Breitbart couldn’t get distribution and faced enormous obstacles.

One of the narrative problems is that Muslims abroad have been so successfully connected to horrors, once you meet a nice one nearby you tend to go all squishy inside and feel guilty about “Othering”.
So it’s a prosession of Muslims abroad being monsters and Muslims nearby being cuddly chums.
This is something that the rather schizoid Multicult has encouraged along with all the anti racism crap. The only thing a Christian farm boy turned pilot can do these days is create refugees that Uncle Sam pays to relocate in Murfreesboro.

When I see fools like those behind the movie, and all the Hollywood luminaries who feel so high and mighty in their support of Islam, I have a perverted feeling of happiness, imagining what their fates will be under Shariah if their dreams come true, and the civilized world is overrun by barbarians. Can you imagine the Lindsey Lohans, and the Neil Patrick Harrises and their respective partners will end up? Hanging from cranes! They will be the firsts to taste the sweetness of Shariah law.
If we fail in our fight, that will be a sweet reward, at least for me.

One important lesson I’ve learned in dealing with muslims is that although they are great at mimicking non-muslims, using our language, pretending to hold similar usually ‘liberal’ values, what makes them so effective is that Islam is never a subject that is seriously discussed or spoken honestly about.
However, when muslims drop their guard or can be verbally tricked into speaking honestly about Islam, then us ‘Islamophobes’ don’t even have to say a word, muslims hang themselves on their own words, like Anjem Choudary does.
It’s even more effective when you pretend not to know anything about Islam, then a muslim will tell you what they really think and that is when you begin to realize you’re talking to a very deranged person with a crazy worldview.
Everything else that muslims do is just smoke and mirrors, mind you it’s extremely effective at fooling the gullible idiots and people who refuse to be skeptical about Islam. The key is in any debate or conversation, bring it back to Islam, turn the tables on them. Then people will begin to recognize that these people are really our enemies.

Sure most naive and guilt-laden Americans are too afraid to say out loud that they have generally bad feelings about “muslims.” But when Americans have a chance to pay for and sit through a movie about muslims — especially one with such a suspiciously reverse-counter-intuitive title and is obviously just one more new front of resentment and grievance for us to placate — Americans will vote with their feet and avoid this sham like a public stoning.
There’s nothing we need in this country from “muslims.” Everything about them and their culture is a drag and burden on us.
And they’re definitely not funny.

Islam is as Islam does. Simple comme bonjour, as the French say. Super simple. Like Fitna below observes: Muslims hang themselves on their own words (and actions!).
Of course the organizers of this charade know they have no hope in hell to change the facts for all but the most weak-minded. Of course they realize that Islam has gone way, waaay to far already, that’s exactly the reason why they are starting this propaganda farce. What they are hoping for is to ridicule and demonize those that point out simple facts even further. That’s the rationale and idea behind it.
But Islam is Islam and simply can’t help itself – it’s pre-programmed, hard-wired into hate and violence. 1400 years of the most atrocious and violent history proves it. One of these days -probably sooner than later- Islam will go completely off the rails and some -no doubt breathtakingly horrid- atrocity will be committed, despite all the efforts of our (neutered) intelligence agencies and services. And no amount of “comedy” and political-correct blah-blah will be able to eradicate it.
The tipping point is near. The (thinking part of the) world is already completely fed up with it. Islam is predestined: it will hang itself.

The MSM has the power to focus world-wide attention in any direction it likes. Imagine a news documentary providing graphic footage of the systematic slaughter of Christians by al-Qaeda, the consequences of living under full-on Sharia law, or simply being non-Muslim in a Muslim nation.
The media has the ability to influence public opinion, sometimes profoundly so. But of course the media doesn’t do this. They have other agendas.

And they don’t keep their agenda hidden either. Ahmadinejad pronounced the arrival of the Madhi from the halls of the UN in more than one occasion. He announced “the one” is already here, therefore, their urgency to destroy Israel in order to fulfill the prophesy. And we are doomed in the incompetent hands of the fools in charge.

It is amassing that with the Libs they are the First to take away your 1st amendment and Insure you lose your job.
By them actively supportin Islam when it is opposite of everything they profess to believe just convinces me further that they ALL are pawns of Satan!
You will know them by their deeds. Islam MUST be the only major religion that does not have the some form of the “Golden Rule”.

They voted for one. If we’re attacked in America again, I hope they are ground Zero in Hollywood. They think they are untouchable and so above the rest of America. They voted for a bona fide Muslim Brotherhood member named, Barack Hussein Obama. The middle name should have been a dead giveaway to anyone with a normal IQ.

The name Obeidallah means “servant of Allah” – that tells it all.

I am Islamophobic and proud of it. What does this word mean, literally? Hating Islam. What is wrong with hating Islam, the most horrific anti-human doctrine on the market of ideas today? To hate Islam is a sign of wisdom, intelligence, goodness, love of humanity. The label Islamophobic can be worn with pride. It is not hatred of Muslims as people, but only of people who support Islam – a fine distinction that the Islamophiles are careful to ignore and conceal.

There is no Islamo-“phobia” – “fear of”, there is only disdain and contempt.
Another thing: “al-Jazeera America” is coming to Clear Channel radio stations.

Hollywood suffers from a severe and probably terminal case of nihilism, the producers, the directors, the screenplay writers, and especially the actors value nothing and have no principles at all. It’s like what Oscar Wilde once wrote about these sorts of cynics over a hundred years ago, “they know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” They do not even recognize the Moslem enemies who would slit their throat in a split second given half a chance.

could that also mean servant of satan?

Islamophobia literally means an overpowering, irrational, fear of Islam. The equivocation between rationally recognizing an idea as evil, destructive and dangerous, as opposed to an irrational fear, is a holdover from the good old Cold War days. In the bad old days anyone who identified Communists, with the ability to destroy the world half-a-dozen times over, as a threat was termed ‘paranoid’. The media stereotype of anti-communist as fear mongering paranoiacs remains unchallenged even as progressives have tried to recast Ronald Reagan (dangerous right-wing war-mongering cowboy) as one of their own.
Taking my cue from Pam I would say you’re an Islamorealist, not phobic.

since Hollywood is so concerned about “Islamophobia,” perhaps they should make a movie mocking the victims of 9/11, which was a jihad attack. after all, it is not “Islamophobia” to claim the attacks were done by Muslims who followed the Qur’an?
“The slaughter of religious minorities under Sharia is hardly a laughing matter” my words exactly. we see it every day in the treatment of Christians and others in Muslim occupied lands.
