Bernie Sanders Vows to Lead Fight Not Against Jihad Terror, but Against ‘Islamophobia’
By Pamela Geller, Breitbart News, October 30, 2015
Story continues below advertisementOnce again, the party of treason is leading the fight not against those who are waging a holy war to destroy us, but against those who oppose jihad terror.
The Hill reported that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Wednesday invoked his ancestors’ deaths in Holocaust concentration camps as he embraced a Muslim student and promised to lead the fight against racism.” His ancestors’ deaths in Holocaust concentration camps he is likening to the fictional construct of “Islamophobia”? What craven pandering.
“Let me be very personal if I might. I’m Jewish, my father’s family died in concentration camps,” Sanders said. “I will do everything that I can to rid this country of the ugly stain of racism that has existed for far too many years.”
It’s ironic that Sanders would invoke the Holocaust in saying that he would fight against “Islamophobia,” since during World War II, the Islamic world aligned with Hitler. Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and effectively the leader of the Muslim world, raised Muslim armies for Hitler, waged war on behalf of the Nazis in Iraq, and conducted pogroms against the Palestinian Jews in the British Mandate of Palestine.
It also bears mentioning that the Muslim world never apologized for its role in the Holocaust. Instead, it continued to pursue Hitler’s objectives, and Mein Kampf has for years been a perpetual bestseller in Egypt, Turkey and elsewhere among Muslims.
“Sanders,” according to The Hill, “chronicled racism and discrimination’s historical roots in American culture, arguing that groups have always tried to play one group off against each other.”
Playing one group against another? Is that how he describes the war waged by the Axis Powers against the Allied Powers during World War II? And as for today, the only groups that are trying to play one group against another are Islamic groups such as the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which works energetically to stigmatize legitimate resistance to jihad terror as “Islamophobia.”
Sanders also said: “Our job is to build a nation in which we all stand together as one. There is a lot of anger being generated, hatred being generated against Muslims in this country, that is absolutely correct. There is hatred being generated against immigrants in this country.” This is absolutely untrue. The anger is against the jihad that is being waged against the United States, as well as against non-Muslim minorities in Muslim countries.
The Hill tells us that Sanders was speaking at George Mason University, and that “the Democratic presidential candidate was interrupted many times by cheers from the friendly crowd.” Of course: college students all over the country are indoctrinated with pro-jihad, anti-American ideas day in and day out. It is no surprise at all that they would be so susceptible to Sanders’ silly narrative of Muslim victimhood.
“There are some out there who think, ‘Well, students and young people are apathetic, they won’t get involved, they are busy partying and so forth,’” said Sanders. No, there are those who rightly think that students in colleges, and young people in general, are being relentlessly indoctrinated with uber-leftist/Islamic propaganda.
Sanders concluded: “What you are saying here tonight is that you love your country and you are going to fight as hard as you can to make this the country we know it can be.” If he were really serious about that, he would have called upon those students to defend Constitutional principles against sharia encroachment. He would have stood up for the freedom of speech and the equality of rights of women and non-Muslims – all denied under sharia. He would have explained to them that it is not “Islamophobia” or “racism” to defend freedom from those who would impose sharia here, and not improper to ask a Muslim presidential candidate to renounce the aspects of sharia that are incompatible with Constitutional freedoms.
Instead, under the guise of rejecting “racism,” Bernie Sanders and his ilk are opening the door to the demise of those freedoms.

So the fact that there’s almost universal hatred for the Jews among muslims doesn’t concern this old fool? He doesn’t see the obvious parallels between what nazi Germany did and what fascist islam has been doing for 1400 years? Someone get that senile old fool off the stage before he poops his pants.

“Islamofuria”: The completely rational state of rage and loathing when faced with Islamic takeover and the subsequent replacement of Democracy with Sharia.

“islamofascismphobia” should be the word we use…. usurping islamophobia. Correct anywhere we see it. maybe some bumper stickers and T-shirts. Even business cards. hmmmm. It will be too late just like 1930’s Germany if we don’t start now.

This is why Trump resonates with so many well informed Americans, He is a bit crude, but definitely not politically correct, he tells it like it is and doesn’t care who he offends, he sees the problems and he has the leadership and vision to get things done and his vision for American is the only one that has a chance at restoring America back to greatness! Trump 2016!

Internet sites such a Pamela Geller’s site and other good sites such as jihadwatch.org don’t contain articles of “Islamophobia” .Such site expose the harsh reality of the truth about the violent dangers of the militant jihad of Islam and the subtle and sly deception the stealth jihad of Islam. In other words, such site deal not with “Islamophobia’ but with Islamorealism.

Sanders craves the acceptance of people who want to kill him.
Sanders sticks his head in the sand and denies reality and the world around him.
Do the right thing the next time vote for a Republican President Cruz or Carson are good and return some sanity to the world.

Sanders needs to see the new movie Remember about the holocaust. Obviously Sanders has forgotten the lessons learned in the holocaust.
This new movie is great Canadian producer Robert Lantos produced it and Christopher Plumber and Martin Landau give riveting performances.
Those who forget history are deemed to repeat it. G-d forbid.

20 years ago, Sanders would have never been able to vent his crock-pot views on the national stage. His appearance on the national stage is a testament to how far left our country has moved ideologically and politically. It is we, the reasonable, truly liberal people who are now being portrayed as extremists and outside mainstream.
It will take at least a couple generations to deprogram our society.

It is we, the reasonable, truly liberal people who still have control of our own minds. Minds, like parachutes, only work when they’re open. The remainder of ‘liberal society’ is in free fall… and ignoring reality carries serious, if not deadly, consequences.

There’s no way Sanders has a prayer of becoming POTUS. Despite his love affair w/muslums the affair is very a much a one-way street. I’d imagine Sanders wouldn’t last a NY minute in the Gaza Strip, Beirut, Jordan, Somaliastan, ISIS, Syria (or what’s left of it), Pakistan if he were to identify himself as Jewish — the best he could hope for is to be kidnapped.

“There’s no way Sanders has a prayer of becoming POTUS”. I wouldn’t be too sure of that. With all the brainwashed left-wing students and muzzscum on campuses being indoctrinated that multiculturalism is a good thing( and when they have finished bashing Israel and advocating for BDS), they could very well decide that he speaks for them.
He is an absolute disgrace to the Jewish people

A glib leftist Jew has often been a danger to society and to the Jewish people. Joseph Stalin had his fanatic Jewish storm troopers who supported his murder of 20 million Russians. They were also supportive of his plans to erase Judaism in Russia except the he croaked before he could complete his plan. Bernie Sanders is a socialist/Communist who shamelessly exploits the Holocaust for his evil purposes.

The politically correct will destroy America. Islam in all forms needs to be banned by law as the crime ideology it is and rejected if the world/humans want to survive in peace on this planet. Find this hard to believe?…read the Qur’an or any book on the life of Muhammad.

Sorry Pamela, but what’s the point of this article?
Same old tired dhimmis spouting the same old tired pre-programmed platitudes – boring bufoons bleating out the same old beat-up script . . . yawn . . . as transparent as the finest gossamer threads which hold the dangling swords over their empty heads. You can almost predict the script template, learned by rote.
Unfortunately about 85% have nought else to occupy themselves other than to be blinded by these dazzling insights, having none of their own . . .
But life without hope is pointless, so we struggle on . . . and on . . . obladi-obladah . . .
