[ April 24, 2024 ]
The unique, global pandemic of Muslim Jew-hatred will only begin to ebb, if at all, with honest reform of Islam’s vast, ugly corpus of canonical Jew-hatred—from the Koran, and the traditions—as currently still promulgated, in all its virulence, by Islamdom’s most prestigious religious teaching institutions.
Unfortunately, Fox News’ go to so-called “reformist” Muslims, Qanta Ahmed and Mohamed Z. Jasser, completely deny this facts-on-the ground reality, while monotonously spewing apologetics that whitewash its major cause: Islam’s viscerally Jew-hating theology. In the wake of the Philadelphia Islamic Center video imbroglio—whose Islamic teaching roots I analyzed extensively—here are two recent examples of the dishonest misrepresentations Ahmed and Jasser repeatedly put forth, unchallenged, to Fox News’ enormous viewing audiences:
[Qanta Ahmed, May 6, 2019]: “It is absolutely anathema to Islam…This is completely not what Islam teaches. Islam sees Christians and Jews as legitimate believers who are party to paradise, who have a true message from God, and they are our brethren. We cannot be Muslim unless we believe in the Bible and the Torah.”

[Mohamed Z. Jasser, May 7, 2019]: “The ideology—What they wanna do is say well the militant part is what’s the problem. No. The non-violent ‘Islamism’, the ‘supremacism of ‘Islamism’…”
While Ahmed engaged in frank counterfactual denial, Jasser’s nondescript mention of “Islamism,” or whether it was violent or non-violent, simply drowns out all discussion of Islam’s Jew-hating theology in a flash flood of meaningless, “ism”-laden jargon. Once again, neither apologist made any reference to the disproportionate prevalence (i.e., a 2.4-fold excess) of extreme Antisemitism amongst US Muslims vs. non-Muslims, or the fact that this sorry state of affairs mimics the global trend (a 2 to 4.5-fold excess).
Contrast the takiya, Islamic dissimulation, proffered by faux Muslim “reformists”, more accurately disingenuous revisionists, Qanta Ahmed and Mohamed Z. Jasser, with the contrite, mea culpa-based honesty of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, on the Islam animating Muslim Jew-hatred.
During her 2006 acceptance speech upon receipt of the American Jewish Committee’s “Moral Courage Award,” Ayaan was unabashed in identifying Islam as the overriding source of pervasive Muslim Jew-hatred.
(Audio link to speech):
“Ladies and gentlemen I have a confession to make, if you are Jewish. It’s a testimony to my dark past when I lived in ignorance. I used to hate you. I hated you because I thought you were responsible for the war that took my father from me for so long. When the Soviet Union allied with our home-grown dictator in Somalia, I was told the Jews were behind that. In Saudi Arabia I saw poor people from a place called Palestine. Men women and children huddled together in despair. I was told you drove them out of their homes. I hated you for that. When we had no water I thought you closed the tap. I don’t know how you did it, but you did it. If my mother was unkind to me I knew you were definitely behind it. Even when I failed an exam I knew it was your fault. I don’t know how you did all these things. But then I didn’t need proof. You are by nature evil. And you had evil powers and you used them to evil ends. Learning to hate you was easy. Unlearning it was difficult. Even after I had learned about The Holocaust in Europe, the terrible outcome of centuries of Antisemitism, I still found it difficult to take a stand against it. When my half-sister told me The Holocaust was the best thing that had happened to Jews, I refrained from arguing with her because I did not wish to risk breaking the family ties. When she showed me holy [Koranic] verses to support her hatred of Jews I feared arguing with Allah for Allah would burn me. Isn’t it ironic that the American Jewish Committee decided to give me the Moral Courage Award? I am ashamed of my prejudices against you in the past. The good news is I am not alone in learning not to blame you for my misfortunes. Many others who are taught in the name of Islam to hate you have stopped hating you. The tragedy is however that those unlearning to hate are far fewer in number than those who still do. As we sit here thousands, perhaps millions are learning to blame you and wishing to destroy you.”

Fox is owned by Left /Liberal Murdoch and jihadi saudi prince. you expect honest assessment of islam ?
If Trump is smart enough , he should pass E.O to ban all terror/crime/illegal/drug linked persons from coming to America and those who advocate for them should lose their assets/citizenship and deported/jailed as terror agents.
Unless this is done there will be never ending cases . And America will become like canada/EU
Like this Left/Liberal Loons Run Country has been turned into ISIS/jihadi base https://tinyurl.com/y74v5327

I’d add that the news media cannot be owned by a foreign entity like the Saudis. But also not the UK. Nobody has a free press except the USA. There is no right in any other country that says its citizens have the freedom to say what they want and that the press must be kept in a state that it is also free to report real news… new that actually contains facts.
The jihadis want to control our news media (as well as what is taught in schools) so that the content can be pro-Islam. As BHO says, “The future must not belong to those who slander his prophet.” Of course slander in Islamic terms simply means expressing anything that makes Islam look bad even if it is factual.

Jew hatred is only a small part of a very flawed and oppressive religious/political ideology called Islam, which some Muslims are trying to reform. If I were attempting to reform Islam I would probably want to address the supremacy and violence first (Jasser). After that, dealing with changing the hateful attitudes towards Jews would naturally follow (Ahmed). Clearly at least two people have managed to distill a form of Islam that does not advocate the annihilation of the Jewish state and the Jewish people.
Dr. Bostom seems to be attacking Jasser for not putting the cart before the horse.

I guess you are new to this site. Or you don’t bother to read the entries before making your comments. Or you really don’t know that much about Islam — the fact that there is no central authority like the Pope in Catholicism, so there is no one single authority to control what Muslims believe. No one can flip a switch and instantly change Islam.
If I’ve said this once I’ve said this at least a dozen times: I don’t expect to see a reformation of Islam anytime soon, certainly not in the next decade or two. It’s not going to happen overnight but might happen over time thanks to the work of individuals and small groups of people who are working on reform.
You want to kill the reformers and guarantee there is no reform? Yes? Why is it that you don’t want Islam to reform?

NO, I do NOT want to kill reformers. MY statement said that I do NOT see a “peaceful” reformation in 2019! In the mean time, are WE supposed to IGNORE terrorists and terrorist activities? ‘Cause I “ain’t” buying that.

Of course we don’t ignore terrorism and terrorists. Anyone who advocates for ignoring terrorism is in so many words claiming that Islam is not a danger.

So you think that in attempting a reform of Islam – that Qanta Ahmed
‘would deal with the hateful attitudes towards Jews’.
That contradicts what she herself said on Fox News regarding Islamic
canonical Jew hatred – quote “It is absolutely anathema to Islam. This
is not what Islam teaches”. Which – as Dr. Bostom clearly points out –
is a lie. Because Jew hatred is exactly what Islam teaches.
Therefore – how could Ahmed deal with hateful attitudes toward Jews
if she refuses to admit that those hateful attitudes are part of Islam?

Muslums, muslum apologists and muslum sympathizers can’t use logic to defend the islamic death cult because there is no defense of the islamic death cult. Lies, evasions, obfuscations and denials are all they have.

Just posted a reply:
She’s talking about her reformed version of Islam, in her opinion Jew hatred is anathema to Islam. It’s all about interpretation. Every religion is about interpretation from Christianity to Buddhism, Judaism, etc.
I don’t know her specifically but I imagine her explanation would be that the hateful passages about Jews are directed to Jews who opposed Mohammed and refused to become Muslims, not all Jews for all time.
Similarly, for many centuries Jews were persecuted by Christians for rejecting Christ and for being responsible for his crucifixion. The Church basically taught Jew hatred. However that hatred is not actually part of what Christianity is all about.

Mohamed Z. “Zudhi” Jasser has been posing as a so-called “moderate Muslim” for years, and in the process, fooling gullible Americans by the score. Don’t be misled by his lofty titles or apparent professional success; Jasser is a taqiyya artist and always has been. A Muslim whose specialty is telling the infidels not to believe that Islam is inherently violent and supremacist – despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary.

Thank you for this article by Islam specialist and scholar, Dr. Andrew Bostom.
What is radical Islam? It is Islam, plain and simple. It is Sharia Law which
is taken verbatim out of Islamic doctrine: the Koran, Sira and Hadiths.
Sharia Law is brutal, barbaric and totalitarian – especially in its treatment
of non- Muslims and all women.
U.S. Reps Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are followers of Islam whose
platform is radical anti-Americanism – but which is not demanding that
Islamic Law be instituted and followed AT THIS POINT in America’s
history. Put more Muslims in Congress and that will surely change.
Zuhdi Jasser – lately in some Breitbart News articles – has been
insisting that Tlaib and Omar’s political platform is pure Radical Islam –
even though the horrors of Islam/Sharia is never mentioned. He never
allows Americans to see what Islam truly is – but acts like he is letting
us see it.
Muslims never let Americans see what Islam really is. They’ll lie about
it in schoolbooks – in movies – on Fox News – in interfaith dialogues. They
know Americans would never stand for such barbaric lack of individual
freedom. And no Muslim knows it more than pull-the-wool-over-your-
eyes double-talker Zuhdi Jasser.

The history of Islam is a history of Christians and Jews making compromises with them believing that finally, they will be moderate or not cause further problems only to have the Muslims patiently wait until they could cut the throats of those with whom they had made a solemn peace. Read the history of the Spanish Reconquista, the history of the Byzantines, the history of the Greeks and Armenians, the Balkans and Serbia, the history of Algeria. The Muslims are master of deceit and treachery and never in the past 1450 years have they ever honored a treaty of peace and cooperation. Mohamed Z. “Zudhi” Jasser and his ilk are practicing jihad when they make these declarations.

A good way to read of Muslim atrocities – SINCE THE 1400s – is
Andrew Bostom’s book “Sharia Versus Freedoom – A Legacy of
Totalitarian Islam”.
