Daily Caller: Why is it acceptable to throw the “white supremacist” label around but unacceptable to discuss Muslim supremacy?

55

James Merse has a good piece on the West’s sharia-compliant silence on the reality of Muslim supremacy and its destructive effect on Western law and freedom. Worse still is the catastrophic conditions of religious minorities living under Islamic supremacist law in Muslim countries.

I am widely quoted in this piece.

Why Can’t We Talk About Muslim Supremacism?

 By James Merse, Daily Caller,  September 27, 2017:

With Islamist terror attacks becoming commonplace in Europe and authorities across the continent doing very little to prevent them, it’s clear that the Trump administration’s tough approach to handling the threat of Islamist terror attacks is necessary.

It’s time Americans call these terror attacks what they really are — actions in support of an ideology that holds Islam and sharia above all else. In other words Muslim supremacy.

The mainstream media is currently on a mission to paint anyone on the right as a white supremacist. Most recently, popular comedian Chelsea Handler has even gone so far as to label Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, and actress Stacey Dash as “black white supremacists.”

The left and media are celebrating Handler’s disrespectful and downright bizarre label she cast on people of color who have nothing do with white supremacy at all, yet myself and other conservative writers and activists catch heat when we are critical of Islamist culture.

Why is it acceptable to throw the “white supremacist” label around but it is unacceptable to discuss issues related to Muslim supremacy and Islamist ideologies?

A few days ago, disturbing evidence of Muslim supremacy in the U.S. came out of the Alton Nolen trial in Oklahoma. Nolen is facing the death penalty for the 2014 beheading of his female co-worker at Vaughan Foods, after an argument over Nolen’s hatred of white people turned deadly.

Recent reports note that Nolen felt “oppressed” as a Muslim, and when police asked if he regretted what he had done, he said, “I don’t feel regret, because you know what I’ve done. That’s probably going to make Vaughan Foods a better place to work for a Muslim.”

The 54-year-old victim, Colleen Hufford, was silenced forever; not only did she lose her life, but her First Amendment right was stolen from her by a Muslim supremacist.

Muslim supremacy is not acceptable, and must be held to the same standard as white supremacy, black supremacy and any other supremacy.

I got in touch with author, columnist, and editor of The Geller Report, Pamela Geller, who is also the president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (ADFI) for her thoughts on Muslim supremacy.

“Supremacy is supremacy,” Geller noted. “Whatever group is striving for supremacy, the end result is the same: a protected class with special privileges that others don’t enjoy. This is quintessentially anti-American.”

Some may struggle with the idea of comparing a racial issue to an issue of religious ideologies, but as Geller notes, supremacy is supremacy and in a just United States, there is no difference between any forms of supremacy — we are all equals.

It’s important not to confuse calling out the existence of Muslim supremacy with putting down Muslims. There are millions of Muslims around the globe that do not subscribe to Islamist ideologies.

That does not diminish the threat Muslim supremacy and Islamist ideologies pose, especially in the U.K. and across Europe; both have seen  massive influx of Islamic immigration. Pew Research found the Islamic population in Europe grew at 1 percentage point each decade, and projects that by 2030 Muslims will make up 8 percent of Europe’s total population.

Earlier this year, U.K. intelligence sources identified 23,000 active jihadists in the country, so Justin Haskins and TheBlaze extrapolated that this is about .77 percent of the overall British Muslim population.

They then applied that same percentage to other Western nations finding there very well could be 36,200 jihadists in France, 36,600 in Germany and 25,400 in the U.S.

Throw in data from a 2016 ICM poll that found there could be about two million British Muslims that would not tell authorities of an Islamist terrorist if they knew of one.

Using Haskins’ .77 percent figure and extrapolating based on Pew estimates of the overall Muslim population in the United States, it’s feasible that 2.2 million American Muslims also would not alert police if they knew someone was an active jihadist. That’s a potential 2.2 million Muslim supremacists quietly advancing Islamist goals.

It is important to note that the U.S. has   pronounced differences between  the U.K. and Europe, including far stricter immigration and travel standards which do work in our favor when it comes preventing Islamists from slipping through our borders unchecked.

A stark difference between the U.S. and U.K. is the troubling reality that criticizing Islam online in the U.K. results in hate crime investigations, fines, and even arrests.

Notably, shortly after the Manchester bombing which killed 22 people attending an Ariana Grande concert, a tweet by Daily Mail columnist and British media personality Katie Hopkins was investigated by London’s Metropolitan Police at the same time, by their own admission, nearly 800 active jihadis living in the British capital plotted to kill more Brits.

Let’s not forget that that Islamist terror cells often are made up of family members, even here in the U.S. I covered this topic back in July, but one story that jumps out due to how close to home it hit for me, is that of Ahmad Khan Rahami, who attempted mass murder with homemade bombs placed in New York City and New Jersey.

Some reports say that Rahami’s father told authorities while others said he had no idea, but I still refuse to accept that no one knew of Rahami’s involvement considering he was building and testing bombs in the backyard of his family’s Elizabeth, N.J. home.

Harboring an Islamist terrorist and allowing him to build and test weapons intended to kill in the name of Allah is undeniably Muslim supremacy.

It’s troubling that this conversation is limited to conservative media outlets.

Media Blackouts Leave Us Blind To A Dangerous Truth

When I asked Geller about the mainstream media’s refusal to discuss Muslim supremacy, she reminded me of an important fact.

“The Society for Professional Journalists after 9/11 formulated guidelines forbidding journalists from mentioning Islam and jihad together,” Geller said. “The mainstream media is compromised and committed to carrying water for Islamic supremacists.”

No stranger to the dangers of Muslim supremacy and Islamist violence is my friend Chadwick Moore, who covered the Pulse nightclub shooting for Out and The Advocate magazines. It was strongly suggested that he stay away from Islam, like many other media outlets.

“Political Islam uses political correctness to its advantage extremely successfully,” Moore said. “Mix that with open borders and the fact that the mainstream media, leftists, and Islamists all love authoritarianism and you’ve got all the ingredients for the rise Muslim supremacy, and its supported by the left.”

He also suggested that I get smart on something called taqiyya — circumstances in which the Quran, Hadith and Sira all permit Muslims to lie if it advances the cause of Islamists’ goal to build trust with infidels in order to defeat them.

Islamists effectively recruited leftists globally with taqiyya tactics to create a situation where anyone who is critical of Islam is considered an “Islamophobe” and lambasted by the left. Geller also pointed out that an established class above criticism is exactly what sharia calls for.

With the mainstream media completely in bed with the Islamist agenda, it’s up us to call out this injustice whenever we see it or read about it because the consequences could be deadly.

Fortunately the Trump administration is taking necessary precautions to protect Americans through stronger border security, the travel ban, and stricter vetting of immigrants entering our nation. Trump did not shy away from the topic of Islamist terror in his recent U.N. General Assembly address.

“We will stop radical Islamic terrorism because we cannot allow it to tear up our nation and, indeed, to tear up the entire world,” President Trump said. “We must deny the terrorists safe haven, transit, funding, and any form of support for their vile and sinister ideology. We must drive them out of our nation.”

While the mainstream media ignores Muslim supremacy, loses it over President Trump standing up for America at the U.N., and continues worshiping late night hosts that ridicule conservative politicians and conservative Americans alike, we must continue to focus on the America First agenda and keeping our borders and homeland safe.

America has to come first.

>Short answer: Whites are stupid

>Long answer: Since the 1960’s, STUPIDITY has become life-long devotion of the White people

Instead of making themselves better and wiser, instead of making their White culture more vibrant, the Whites copied every single weird thing they could from other races

— from India they copied the hara-krishna

— from the Middle East they imported islam

— from Africa they emulate the ‘beats’, in order to perform the zombie-like dances, just like the Africans

What we are seeing today is the end result of over 50 years of social re-engineering which brainwashed the people on a mass scale basis

What I find strange is that the current crop of western <30s have no time nor knowledge of what it cost to allow them to live the life of idiots. Probably the ONLY thing that will save the west and whites is a real world war with a military dictatorship and conscription, then the leftist snowflakes can find out how hard it is to keep what they take for granted.

That is a good question, why is the open and pronounced hatred of non muslims and the command that they be murdered allowed to be prominently mentioned in public, when another person who says they don’t like muslims is charged with a hate crime. What is the public reading of the qur’an and its 106 versed of hate against non muslims, not considered hate literature? When politicians that adjusted the legal industry to favour islam are found out, they will be dealt with.

I’m white, so obviously, I’m a white supremist. The problem is that I am also a man, and according to lore, “men rule the world.” Well if that is true, then why is it that women keep men wrapped around their little fingers? And, to put more fire on the subject, my wife, a non-white, beautiful woman, tells me I can post all this, so there went my “white supremacy” and “male chauvinism” with her permission.

Good point. As for me, the following is a recap of my current identity:

I was born white, which makes me a racist. I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which makes me a fascist. I am heterosexual, which makes me a homophobe. I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business. I am a Christian, which makes me an infidel. I am older than 60 and retired, which makes me a useless old man. I think and I reason; therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which makes me a reactionary. I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, which makes me a xenophobe. I value my safety and that of my family; therefore I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist. I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which makes me anti-social. I, and my friends, acquired a good education without student loans and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of odd underachiever. I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland by all citizens, which makes me a militarist.

Please help me come to terms with this, because I‘m not sure who I am anymore!

I might add to your list one more phobic sin. Many of us received our BA or BS while serving in the military and that option still exists. Unfortunately, I had to pay out of my own pocket my Masters in International Relations because Jimmy Carter and the Democrat Congress stole from me and many others who served in Vietnam our GI Bill. I served four years there and by the time I retired, I had passed the date that the Dems put into the repeal of the Vietnam GI Bill knowing that for those of us who had chosen to remain in the military would lose those benefits. One more point is that I and many others were drafted because we did not have the money to carry a full load and were working to pay our own way.

It’s only a “phobic sin” according to the leftist idiots. I’m actually proud of what I am: I am a survivor, nothing less, and good at it, and I don’t beg others to pity me. I may be old, have issues, but those that know me know that I walk when I can, hobble when I cannot, but I get where I am going, and I refuse to sit back and play dead.

I joined the USAF because I didn’t want to be in the Army. I was going into the military, choice or not because of the draft, so I chose which branch I was in. I agree about President Carter. He did a lot to weaken the USA, such as cutting funding for the B-1, forcing it to be developed as subsonic rather than supersonic. At least that got reversed. And, like you, I still had the G.I. Bill for education when I got out. The Democrats have always been of the attitude of a weak military – then they get us into a war in a weakened state, as they did in WWI, WWII, Korea, etc.

True, but what has that statement have to do with anything so far posted in this thread? Because I mentioned the weakened military at the start of the Korean War? Remember, we could have taken out ALL of North Korea, and MacArthur wanted to do just that, but President Truman, true to the Democrat socialist policies, refused to allow a complete military victory.

I agree that the weakening of the military began before the Korean (conflict) war because the American people said bring all of the troops home. You are old enough to remember the Jerry Lewis movie, “Don’t Give up the Ship,” about a young navel officer trying to bring a ship back home. It was a comedy but like true comedy, there was a lot of truth in the movie. The country was war tired and all of the politicians understood this and when President Truman stated that Korea was not in the American sphere of concern, Kim Il-sung took the opportunity and seized upon it.
Also one must remember that the war was under the auspices of the United Nations so that when Mac Arthur misunderstood the president by standing up when he had been told to shut up, Truman was forced to fire him (Read General Mark Clark’s reflections on the subject). I agree that having the UN involved was probably a mistake but the US did not have the will power or the resources to fight the war alone. The objective never was to conquer the whole peninsula and it took a personal note from President Eisenhower delivered by Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, that stated the United States would test Mao’s statement that if he lost 90% of his population in a nuclear war, he would still win the war. The note told Mao to remove his troops or the United States would use the bomb. Since President Truman had proven America had the backbone to use it against the Japanese, Mao immediately removed his troops from the Peninsula. On a side note; President Bush 41 made the same mistake as President Truman by involving the U.N. in Iraq. He put the U.S. under the same restraints as in Korea where the goal was not an out right victory.

“Muslim supremacy …must be held to the same standard as white supremacy, black supremacy and any other supremacy.”

From all that I have seen, Black supremacy is given the same pass as islamic supremacy by the MSM and I have yet to hear of any “other” non-White supremacy being discussed. The only “supremacy” that ever seems to get discussed and demonized is white supremacy.

Excellent and informative article. What is happenening to us is what we have allowed, because we are tired, depressed, and brainwashed by them, to replace our good common sense with the nonsense, and the manipulations, and agendas of the liberal left. They are a movement, they have time, somehow they have a lot of time. We should be a movement, and find time and energy from our busy work days, and responsibilities, to counter the labeling, the name calling, and resisting the many suggestions that don’t make sense, or that are harmful.
As for Alton Nolen, he should get the death penalty. That poor woman had come through a tornado, and destruction of her home, only to be so savagely murdered by that evil man at her place of work. It is so unfair. He took a life, he is callously unrepentant, it was a hate crime. I don’t know if that state has the death penalty, but not giving Nolen the death sentence is not right. I hope the people of that state weigh in and call their elected officials.

A valid misgiving. The statement “Millions of muslims do not subscribe….” sounds like a statement of fact, but no: it can only be an assertion. We cannot authoritatively KNOW what is in the MINDS of those millions: we can only guess and make assertions.

Muslims who do not subscribe to Islamic doctrines (which are, as an assertion, the same as “Islamist ideologies”) are not muslims. They are eligible to be killed, vigilante-style and penalty-free by anyone, as apostates. No muslim can declare “I do not subscribe to Islamic doctrines”. As Fouad Belkacem of Sharia4Belgium explained, “Sharia is Islam, and Islam is Sharia”. There is no leeway. It matters not one jot that millions of peace-loving muslims do not agree with such and such. They have no option. Islam is not a Trade Union, and is not changed by a show of hands.

A refinement can be offered:
“Millions of muslims are not currently engaged in Islamic terrorism”.
That is a fact, easily verifiable, and safe to state.

Here is another statement of fact:

Islam’s doctrines require Islam to be dominant, in control of all non-muslims, “by persuasion or by force”.

Gutsy article. I certainly support what is stated in this article. I have referred to the Islamic philosophy as “domination,” a word that is related to “Supremacy.” The logic speaks volumes as expressed in this article. The result, at least to me, is that this country and the free world must recognize that those who promote, preach and support the Islamic concept of Jihad (Supremacy or Domination) must be deported or prosecuted. We simply cannot allow Islam to pursue the concept of Supremacy or Domination as that will result in the overthrow of everything we here in America treasure as being right and reasonable. Although I would agree that not all Muslims support or accept the heinous conduct promoted within the Islamic philosophy, since the people of Islam refuse to rewrite or reject what is written in their so-called books, and some act on it, which as stated in the article results in Jihadi conduct which we generally refer to as “terror,” and which are used to justify their conduct of Supremacy and/or Domination, the free world has no other choice but to actively recognize the danger represented by the Jihadi philosophy and combat it by actively prosecuting all those who would promote that heinous conduct. Talking logic, would not all of us agree that if the German people also recognized that the philosophy of the Nazi’s would result in such domination that millions would have wrongfully been killed, wouldn’t everyone agree that Hitler’s Nazism would logically have been rejected saving the world from the quagmire that resulted, and would not the world have been so much better off. The accusations of “Islamophobia” as referred to in this article are causing us to fail to act against the danger represented by this same kind of heinous philosophy, and we need to face that reality before it is too late.

Agreed — principles of free speech, being against PC-based self-censorship, and willingness to discuss controversial and painful issues should apply across the board, to left and right equally.

That doesn’t mean the white supremacists get off the hook. It just means that criticizing them does not mean jihadists get a free pass either, nor vice versa. They are both dangers to the open, pluralistic, tolerant, free society we all claim to uphold.

I’m reminded of the similar issue of the importance of being against PC-based over-sensitivity with Trump’s vicious reaction to the NFL protests. He is being just as much an over-sensitive “snowflake” as he accuses the far-left of being. And by attempting to make certain expressions completely verboten, he has simply created (or sponsored) a “Political Correctness” of a far-right kind, which distorts both the truth of the issues under discussion, and the symbols we use to express them.

It’s more like the white supremacists, and the Islamists, are “taking turns” being the rapacious violent conquerors. Certainly there has been plenty of that in the long history of Western colonialism, imperialism, and exploitation of the indigenous peoples of the New World and the Third World. And the “Eastern” powers — China, Japan, Russia — all did their share of rapine and plunder, too.

But right now, we seem to be focusing on Western European / American white supremacists, in contrast to ISIS / Al Qaeda / Iranian / Palestinian jihadists. The thing is, both originate from triumphalist, world-conquering traditions: Western Christianity (however attenuated it might be in the form taken by supremacists), and fundamentalist Islam (ditto). Both are tribalist, in the sense of seeing global politics as a zero sum game, where any gains to “our” side can only come at the expense of “their” side. Both are capable of using violence in an attempt to terrorize the opposition into either silence or fleeing. And both are fundamentally incompatible with the Enlightenment concept of a secular, open, tolerant, diverse society. There’s no false equivalence here. Go right ahead and add up how many millions of people were killed by jihadists and other Muslims since, oh, Mohammed. And then go ahead and add up how many millions of people were killed by Crusaders, Conquistadores, Inquisitionists, U.S. Indian-hunters, Boers, Bwanas, Pashas, Sahibs, the Raj, Fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Domino theorists, neocons, … racially supremacist white folks who want their ideology to take over the world have a pretty sordid record, too.

How do you read “defense of Islum” into what I just wrote? I’m saying BOTH forms of tribal supremacism are to be condemned and shunned: imperial Westernism, and imperial Islamism. And who ever said either side stopped? Oh, right, YOU did — you said the white supremacists stopped unjustifiably killing people at some indefinite time in the past. I was simply pointing out that this is not true, and you don’t even have to go back to the 12 million or so people killed in the Holocaust to find a recent example. The only reason the white supremacists have not killed far MORE people since 1945 is that they have been strongly suppressed by the liberal, Enlightenment-based, open, tolerant, pluralistic society that they so violently oppose. Thank goodness for that. But now they seem to be given permission by Trump to come out from under the rock where they have been hiding. THAT is worrisome, even though, if you’re intent on keeping score, the recent killings by KKK fans and neo-Nazis (as in Charlottesville) have not worked up to the fever pitch the Islamists are currently experiencing. All I’m saying is, the reason for that is NOT lack of motivation and desire on the part of the white supremacists. “You will not replace us” is dogwhistle code for “kill all the Jews.” It doesn’t make sense to wait until the genocide has begun in earnest AGAIN to start to get worried about that kind of crap.

You DEFEND islum by making false comparisons between them and “white supremacists”…full stop.

ALL the atrocities you can ever think of committed by white Christians are NOTHING in comparison to what the f’ing muslums did in the Indian sub-continent and Afghanistain and are still doing. The upper bound on the number of Hindus slaughtered by f’ing muslums is 80 MILLION AND COUNTING shrub.

I intend to answer your unfounded rants about all other civilizations. Firstly, until Mao Tse Tung, China had a six thousand year history of nonaggression. While the ancient Khmers like the Mongols expanded and contracted, the Chinese remained very insular. Likewise, the Japanese were insular and until their war with Russia, Japan had been experiencing and experimenting with various styles of government.

Like Obama you are completely uneducated about the Crusades. The Crusades were Christians simply wishing to visit the Holy Lands where the hordes from Arabia slaughtered their way across the Middle East to North Africa. After having their requests for safe passage refused, the first Crusade originated from the Byzantine capital of Constantinople. Along the road to Jerusalem, these Christians were attacked and only then did they retaliate by capturing Aleppo, Antioch and other former Christian cities where its inhabitants had been slaughtered by the Muslims. By reading the Bible one would easily discover that these cities and others like Ephus had been conquered not by the sword but by the beautiful words of Paul and the other disciples of Christ promising redemption through good works rather than conversion forced by the sword. When attacked, the Crusaders retaliated; they did not start the battles. The Inquisitions were internecine vice conquest. It was a struggle within the Roman Catholic Church. The Boers (Dutch Farmers) used lands not being used for their new lives and one should read the entire history before making disparaging statements. Bwana is a word meaning boss. Pasha was related to the Turkish (Islamic) wars in the Balkans. Sahibs like Pasha has nothing to do with religion; only British domination in India. Raj; see Sahibs. The only slaughter on the Indian sub-continent was perpetrated by swarms of Muslims, who like locusts devouring fields of grain, hacked millions of Hindus on the Sub-Continent from the eighth century through the thirteenth century.

You mentioned Fascists, Nazis and Stalinists in the same sentence but you should have mentioned that none of these were religious and after their destruction, the people rebuilt their nations even better than before. I am surprised you did not mention the war between the Bourbons and the Hapsburgs that was so inappropriately named as holy wars by some historians when it was a clash between the two most powerful dynasties of Europe battling for supremacy. I will give you some leeway about the Conquistadores who did force Catholicism upon the inhabitants of South America but much gentler and less pervasive than the Muslims. Of all the examples you named, only the Islamic cult that was founded by a pedophilic caravan robbing monster and has remained only through the sword by decreeing death for all who try to leave it.

“We will stop radical Islamic terrorism because we cannot allow it to
tear up our nation and, indeed, to tear up the entire world,” President
Trump said.
“We must deny the terrorists safe haven, transit, funding, and any form
of support for their vile and sinister ideology. We must drive them out
of our nation.” Gee, that sure seems to contradict what the administration just said about allowing 50,000 immigrants a year into this country. It would seem that, if we are to truly ‘drive them out’ we’d have to reduce that number to “0.”

Unfortunately, no. Brain dead fools coming out of our universities and high schools this days (Antifa, BLM, LGBT…) and indoctrinated in marxsist ideology will be fully in charge by the time that majority of populace realise that they have been sold into slavery.
I’m glad I’m 66.

I remember watching film footage of immigrants entering America in the first half of the 20th Century. These wonderful people subsequently entered the work force and started small enterprises, thus, building upon the American motif that hard work and obeying the laws will result in prosperity for themselves and their posterity. It did not matter from where these wonderful people came, they all had one common goal, to become Americans.

Unlike the former immigrants and refugees, these incubus like Muslims tell us that we owe them and if we don’t, then we are bigots. I know of no other group that has been permitted to immigrate or enter as refugees that have demanded those who sheltered them bow down to their wishes and adhere to the very evil to which they proclaimed to flee. I don’t remember reading about Jews, even Hasidic Jews, ranting and raving that everyone else adhere to their beliefs. They became part of the American mosaic and prospered and America prospered. Only Muslims have demanded that the American people (as well as every nation that has accepted them open arms) adhere to their pernicious cult of tribal savagery and submit to Sharia and pay jizya. One might also question why is it that without exception, where Muslims exist, there is wide spread internecine where comity with others is non-existent???? I also would like the left to provide evidence of any group committing mass rape of young girls, beheading of co-workers and oh did I mention TERRORISM.

If you hate America, Christianity and Western Civilization…it’s impossible for Muslims to be labeled “supremacist” because the Leftists are in charge of determining “labels” like that. Since the IslamoNazis are allies of the Leftist Globalist Fascist Commies who also want to destroy Western Civilization…Muslims are hereby a protected class and Leftist won’t ALLOW them to be labeled racist, anti-Semitic, misogynist, rapists, bigoted, supremacist, Nazis, pedophiliacs, slave owners, warmongers, abusers of women, homophobic, human rights abusers or religious fundamentalist nut-jobs who want to impose “their morals” on everyone else.
LOOK…not much difference between Antifa and Muslim women in burkas—they like their clothing in black to show their solidarity:comment image comment image
