Abolish the Diversity Visa Lottery
By Amil Imani
The Diversity
Visa Lottery, also known as (the Green Card Lottery) is
an immigration program by which immigrants from nations with usually low
rates of immigration to the United States are able to apply for a visa online.
The platform, however, has been used by terrorists to penetrate America. On
October 31, 2017, Sayfullo Saipov used a rental
pickup truck to deliberately mow down pedestrians. After killing eight and
injuring 13, he left the truck and shouted, "Allahu Akbar." Sayfullo
is an Uzbekistan national and came to America in 2010. Later officials found a
note about his allegiance to ISIS. This attack immediately received
worldwide reaction from other lawmakers including the US. A bill proposed in August that
would slash legal immigration levels in half over a decade also would eliminate
the lottery program.
The bill
went to the House and overwhelmingly passed, but halted in the
Senate.
Each year, the Diversity Visa Program accepts 50,000 randomly selected people
-- only from countries that don’t send many immigrants to the United States --
to obtain permanent residency (commonly called a “green card”). It’s a way for
individuals and families who otherwise wouldn’t have any way to legally
immigrate to the United States to get a green card.
The program is often seen
as one that should be ended in a shift toward a more merit-based system.
According to Heritage
Foundation:
“It does not bolster the skills of the American workforce, nor does it reunite
families or serve any humanitarian function. Its only purpose is to increase
ethnic and cultural heterogeneity in the U.S. -- a dubious goal that weakens
the social ties within communities.”
The
diversity lottery has been an unwise policy since its inception in 1986, this
program. This program is a dangerous gamble. Many Muslims who arrive in
America, are deeply indoctrinated by Islamic credos and find it impossible to
assimilate into host countries. In fact, their leaders and Imams encourage them
to stay away from the American people and only stay within their own community.
Hypocrisy is a Muslim trait while they strive to impose their own defunct 7th century barbaric
ideology -- which is the cause of their own misery -- on the host nation.
Both
America’s political parties are guilty of keeping much of the U.S. population
in the dark about Islam’s mission in the U.S. Those who dare to ask their
representatives questions regarding this matter, will assure their constituents
that in general, Muslims are law-abiding citizens of their adopted countries
and it is only a minority that is responsible for the violence and chaos, so
lies and deceptions are told.
Muslims
are required to abide by their own laws under Sharia and not the
Constitution of the United States of America. Because it is mandatory for a
Muslim to adhere to Islamic laws and not to a man-made law such as the U.S.
Constitution, therefore it is logical to state a Muslim can never be both a
Muslim and an American at the same time.
President
Trump is 100% correct in his campaign to completely abolish this
bogus “Diversity Visa Program." Critics argue that the program is
susceptible to fraud and manipulation, and that identity fraud is endemic.
Critics also assert that the program poses a danger to national security.
A few years
ago, I met a young Muslim man in his early 20s from Tunisia, who worked for a
major hotel brand as a van driver, working for a hotel while attending a
university. I casually asked him regarding America and how does he feel being
here. He openly expressed his views to me on how much he resents America and he
refuses to take hotel guests to liquor stores or to strip clubs because it
was against his religion. I questioned him on how he obtained his Green
Card and what made him to come to the United States. He said, one day, as he
was checking his mailbox, he noticed that he had won the “lottery” program.
In our brief conversation, I noticed his demeanor was belligerent and
extremely repulsive towards America. In fact, I felt that he would not hesitate
to join any radical Islamic groups in the U.S.
Our
nonfunctional immigration system sent a lottery invitation with
a welcome letter to a devout and dangerous young Muslim man
who was full of hate for America. Go figure!
“Among
the heaviest users of the U.S. Diversity Visa lottery are people
in countries known to have terrorism problems. Entering the Diversity Visa
program, Islamists openly felt, was their opportunity to access the U.S. and
cause destruction to the country and its people, which they viewed as their
enemy.”
President
Trump is not the first and will certainly not be the last president who wants
to abolish this bogus Green Card Lottery. But he is the only President who is
pushing the envelope harder than all previous Presidents. This program is
completely irrational and deeply flawed, especially concerning terrorism. Our
immigration system is not just broken, it is shattered. It is beyond repair.
This
nonsocial program like other immigration packages is unnecessary and threatens
the safety and security of the American people. Whether you are a Democrat or
Republican, it is your duty to abolish this risky program which threatens our
national security.
Claims
of a Labor Shortage Are Just Not True
America's
September unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, the lowest level since 1969, according
to the most recent Department of Labor report.
The tight
labor market is forcing companies to hire disadvantaged Americans. For
example, New
Seasons Market, a
West Coast grocery chain, is actively recruiting people with disabilities and
prior criminal records. Similarly, Custom
Equipment, a
Wisconsin manufacturing firm, recently hired several prison inmates through a
work-release program and intends to employ them full-time upon their release.
For the
first time in decades, these disadvantaged Americans are finally winning
significant pay increases. Over the past year, the lowest-paid 25 percent of
workers enjoyed faster wage growth than their higher-paid peers.
Unfortunately,
this positive trend could be short-lived. Corporate special interests are
whining about a labor shortage -- and are spending millions to lobby for higher
levels of immigration, which would supply companies with cheap, pliable
workers.
Hardworking
Americans need their leaders in Washington to see through this influence
campaign and stand up for their interests. Scaling back immigration would
further tighten the labor market, boosting wages and helping the most
disadvantaged Americans find jobs.
The U.S.
economy is the strongest it has been in years. Employers added 136,000 new jobs
in September, marking 108 months of consecutive
job growth.
But
there's still more progress to be made. Approximately 6
million Americans
are currently looking for jobs but remain unemployed. Another 4
million desire
full-time positions but are underemployed as part-time workers. Millions
more, feeling
discouraged about their bleak prospects, have abandoned the job search altogether.
Indeed, among 18 through 65-year-olds, 55
million people
aren't working.
Many of
these folks have limited or outdated skills. Others have criminal records or
disabilities. So they might require a bit more training than traditional job
applicants.
Rather
than put in this extra effort, some big businesses want to eliminate their
recruiting challenges by importing cheap foreign workers. These firms have
instructed their lobbyists to push for more immigration, which would introduce
more slack into the labor market.
The CEO
of the Chamber of Commerce recently claimed that America needs a massive
increase in immigration because we're "out of people." Chamber
officials said their lobbying efforts would center on sizeable increases to
rates of legal immigration.
The
National Association of Manufacturers, meanwhile, recently released a proposal which would effectively double
the number of H-1B tech worker visas, import more seasonal low-skilled laborers
on H-2A and H-2B visas, and grant amnesty to illegal immigrants.
And the
agriculture industry is lobbying for a path to legalization for
illegal laborers and is seeking to expand "temporary" guest-worker
programs to include stable, year-round positions on dairy farms and meatpacking
plants -- jobs that Americans will happily fill for the right wage. The
Association of Builders and Contractors, Koch Industries, and dozens more companies
have called for similar measures.
There are
already 45
million immigrants
in the United States -- 28 million of which are employed -- and counting. More
than 650,000
people crossed
into the United States illegally in the past eight months alone, already
exceeding last fiscal year's totals. And the U.S. government grants an
additional 1 million lifetime work permits to immigrants every year.
Those
figures will skyrocket even higher if business groups get their way. Such an
expansion would hurt hardworking Americans.
The majority
of foreigners who cross the border illegally or arrive on guest worker visas
lack substantial education. Naturally, they seek out less-skilled jobs in
construction, manufacturing, agriculture, and service -- and directly compete
with the most economically vulnerable Americans. The labor surplus created by
immigration depresses the wages of native-born high school dropouts up to $1,500 each year.
Several
proposals under consideration in Washington could alleviate American workers'
woes.
A
recent bill from Senator Chuck Grassley
(R-IA) would mandate all businesses use a free, online system called E-Verify,
which determines an individual's work eligibility in mere seconds.
The
system would make it extremely difficult for employers to hire illegal
immigrants, roughly 40
percent of whom
have been paid subminimum wages at some point. Without a pool of easily abused
illegal laborers, businesses would raise pay for Americans.
Several
senators also recently introduced the Raise
Act, a bill that
would reduce future levels of legal immigration.
It's time
for our leaders in Washington to scale back both legal and illegal immigration.
By doing so, they can further tighten the labor market and force businesses to
bring less-advantaged Americans back into the workforce.

1,400 Years of Jihad and
Islamic Terror, Well Told by Robert Spencer
Robert Spencer is the man,
the best prepared person to write a comprehensive history of the horrors of
Islam.
And he has.
Spencer's The History of Jihad: From
Muhammad to ISIS is an amazing book, extraordinary in its detail and riveting
in its narratives and analysis.
This
book documents the history of horrors, violence, brutality, oppression,
conquests by the sword, beheadings of hundreds of thousands (probably
millions), destruction of civilizations and cultures, corruption, deception,
and lies that are part of the Islamist culture, and every other evil that you
can imagine that one group of humans could impose on others in the name of an
ideology or, in this case, a pseudo-religion. The book is a
comprehensive history of the role of war and terror in the spread of Islam, and
the book details 1,400 years of sheer evil with no relief, imposed on the
Middle East, Eastern Europe, North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, India, and
Asia. The only let-up in these killings that ever came was when
some of the cultures and civilizations successfully repulsed the monsters,
or else were conquered and then violently and rapidly subdued.
Spencer
briskly traces the 1,400-year war of Islamic jihadis against the rest of the
world, detailing the jihad against Europe, including the 700-year struggle to
conquer Constantinople; the jihad in Spain, where non-Muslims fought for
another 700 years to get the jihadi invaders out of the country; and the jihad
against India, where Muslim warriors and conquerors wrought unparalleled and
unfathomable devastation in the name of their religion.
Spencer adds to the drama and impact by telling much of the tale in the words
of contemporary chroniclers themselves, both Muslim and non-Muslim. The
History of Jihad shows that jihad warfare has been a constant of
Islam from its very beginning, its major focus. In fact, in
reading the stories and considering the historical realities, it is safe to say
that the Islamists were constantly on the hunt and constantly bloodthirsty –
thirsty for conquest and focused on plunder. That is
what proves that the history of Islamism is consistent with present-day
jihad terrorism, and that present-day jihad proceeds along exactly the same
ideological and theological foundations as did the great Islamic warrior-states
and jihadi commanders of the past.
The book is worthwhile now as a lesson in history in an age when Islamic
jihadis are more assertive in Western countries than they have been for
centuries, and propaganda and deception are tools well developed in a culture
that approves of deception and promotes conquest. Taqiyya is
the Muslim word for approved deception of the non-believer, which raises the
question for today: at which point can a non-Muslim trust
the promise of a jihadi or any Muslim?
Read
this book and understand that faithful and observant Muslims are part of the
jihad, as commanded by Islam and Allah, whether armed or not, and thus cannot
be assumed to be "peaceful" since Islam is all about conquest at any
cost and oppression or destruction of the kafir non-believer
(infidel). Consider the attitude of Islamists for the non-believer
in this 1,300-plus-year saga that extends all the way into the early
21st century – the Muslim philosophy that is nothing but hair-on-fire
murderous when directed at non-believers. That is why beheading is
so common among their jihadis. They hate, and they want to strike
terror in the hearts of their enemies. Their enemies are anyone who
is not a Muslim.
With
this logic, an easy argument to make is that there is no place for national
loyalties in the mind of a Muslim – and in fact, one of the internal
conflicts in Islam itself is its rejection of secular, or less than sharia
law, nations. However, a method for conquest that includes some
deception is approved by Islam, and when a Muslim swears an oath to the United
States, for example, it is a deception for the benefit of the conquest,
and that certainly that would be approved by Allah. Muhammad
himself broke treaties and lied to advance his cause, and he clearly taught that
deception to advance the cause of Islam is not immoral, but to be promoted and
utilized for jihad.
This
brings us to today.
This
book is indispensable to understanding the geopolitical situation of the
twenty-first century and ultimately to formulating strategies to deal with the
Islamist threat and defeating radical Islamist terror.
It's
critical to know and understand this for context, yet that's not being
done. It's certainly not being done by the wimpy Western
intellectuals and politicians, intimidated by the well-developed Islamic
propaganda machine.
Knowing
the enemy is essential to survival and victory. To underestimate a
threat and the nature of the enemy is suicide. Spencer has long been
the leading historian of the nature of Islamic violence and conquest, and now
he's telling the story of the monstrous movement that is
Islam. His grasp of the history of, and the important events
and figures within, Islam from the beginnings to the present is
unexcelled. In reading this book, it's obvious he is the go-to guy for
scholarship on the theology, or what is more properly the ideology dressed up
like theology, of Islam as we can see it.
It's
also important that he be listened to. These days, it is taken
for granted, even among many Washington policymakers, that Islam is a
fundamentally peaceful religion and that Islamic jihad terrorism is something
relatively new, a product of the economic and political ferment of the
twentieth century. It's not true. In The History
of Jihad, Spencer proves definitively that Islamic terror is as old as
Islam itself, as old as Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who said: "I have
been made victorious through terror." He had been a highwayman
and terrorist for years before he founded his religion, dying in 632.
Reading
the details of the killings is not only alarming, but exhausting. I
learned that some Islamist leaders spent all their time killing and torturing
people and taking woman and children as slaves, both sex slaves and house
slaves.
I
also learned that Islam had a limited economic base – effectively confined to
conquest and slavery. Muslims were effectively a criminal
enterprise, and anything they acquired of value came from the end of a
sword or the threat of death or torture.
The
book is a long serial of bloodbaths and terrorist outrages.
I
challenge any reader to keep track of the killers and the magnitude of the
killing (millions died) in places such as North Africa and the Asian
subcontinent, or the number of churches, shrines, temples of the non-believers
destroyed and replaced with mosques. Civilizations decimated – it is
a disgusting thing, Islam, and to keep track of the appalling conduct
requires copious note-taking and remains difficult to grasp. Spencer
tells a terrible tale, indeed, yet all Western intellectuals can do is
talk about the conduct of the crusaders.
The
Spencer book will cure the reader of that silly nonsense. One reads
too many stories in the book of Muslim victors doing mass executions of enemies
to have any fury left for crusaders. Muslim conquerors were
positively steeped in violence and bloodshed – stacking the heads of their
enemies high and raping all of their women, executing hundreds of
thousands, and far more than can be accurately counted.
I
spent uncomfortable hours reading the of the horrors of Islam and sometimes had
to take a break from the bloodletting – it is and was a movement of prodigious
killing and torture – but then one must remember that it is an ideology and a
movement built on terror. If you hang in and wade through the gore
and the blood, which is the main story for more than 400 pages, you will
realize that the Islamist conquest was rivaled only by communism in the number
of people annihilated and the civilizations destroyed, by terror, torture, oppression. Only
a fanatic ideology can produce killing and evil on this prodigious scale.
Most
important, Spencer is our ally in the war against the evil and treacherous
phony "religion" that is nothing more than a corrupt ideology of
conquest, xenophobia, and misanthropy. What is unfortunate is that
people don't pay attention to Spencer, who can, in a wink, extinguish the idea
that Islam is a religion, and with certainty demonstrates that it has no place
in any credible vision of peace, as the Western politicians and
intellectuals have claimed and as so many leftists continue to babble on
about. To try to make a case for Islam as a religion of peace after
reading what Islamists did for the last 1,400 years is
nonsense. Spencer underlines that Islam, and its practitioners,
above all, are all about conquest.

A TINY MINORITY OF HALF A MILLION JIHADISTS
Islamic terrorists are the world’s eighth
largest military.
Islamic terrorists are a “tiny minority of extremists”. That’s the
message we’ve been hearing ever since 9/11. They’re only a handful of “guys in
a cave” or a few “lone wolves” radicalized over the internet.
How tiny is that tiny minority?
According to a study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, there
are 230,000 Jihadists.
Put this tiny minority of extremists together in a city and you
would have Boise, Idaho, or Richmond, Virginia, or Des Moines, Iowa. But that’s
not a roster of Muslim civilians who support Islamic terrorism, just active
members of terrorist groups. And so a better point of comparison is to national
armies.
At 230,000, Sunni Islamic Jihadists outnumber the British Armed
Forces (149,000), the French Armed Forces (117,000), and Germany's Bundeswehr
(179,753). That should be troubling since those are some of the militaries and
countries on the front lines of Europe’s reluctant fight against Islamic
incursions.
The list of Sunni fighters has a lot of questions marks and is
incomplete. Sunnis outnumber Shiites, but under the Iranian umbrella, Shiites
have fielded sizable terror forces in Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen.
Hezbollah in Lebanon boasts between 25,000 to 65,000 Jihadists.
The Houthis in Yemen, currently the beneficiaries of a massive propaganda
campaign in the media, have around 25,000 to 30,000 Jihadists. Iraqi PMU’s add
another 90,000 to 150,000 Jihadists to these numbers. And finally there’s
Iran’s own Revolutionary Guard, a regional terror hub with another 120,000
members.
These numbers add between 260,000 and 365,000 Jihadists on the
Shiite side for a total of over half a million Sunni and Shiite Jihadists
making Islamic terrorists the world’s eighth largest military.
That’s not a tiny minority of extremists and it’s not a few guys
in a chat room or a cave.
This dark army of terror grew by leaps and bounds under the Obama
administration which fractured Sunni countries by overthrowing their
governments in and bringing Islamists to power in the Arab Spring, while the
Iran nuke deal fed and freed up billions for Iran to invest in Shiite
expansionism.
The CSIS report notes that the number of Salafi Jihadists and allied terror groups more
than doubled between 2008 and 2016. Despite the Iraq War, during Bush’s second
term, the increase was fairly light. The stratospheric increase, from the
thirties to the sixties, took place during the Obama years.
The estimated number of Jihadist fighters rose from a high of
100,000 in 2008 to 250,000 in 2016.
The mass deaths in Syria, Libya and Yemen (to name some of the
worst Arab Spring trouble spots) are a direct result of the policies and, in
Libya of the military intervention, of the Obama administration.
Lefty twitter brims with propagandas photos of supposed Yemeni
children starving to death. The media has tried to blame the religious war
between Sunnis and Shiites (and their Saudi and Iranian backers) on President
Trump. But dead children in Yemen are the wages of the foreign policy of Hope
and Change.
As the Democrats and the Republican foreign policy establishment
advocate for Jamal Khashoggi, intervention in Syria and support for the
Palestinian Authority, it is urgent to remember that these are the same old
failed policies that led to a 150% increase in Jihadists and killed over 500,000
people in Syria, and cost the lives of tens of thousands more in Yemen and
Libya. And elsewhere in the region.
“Democratization” is a poisoned Islamist chalice. At its cloudy
bottom lie terror and death.
The media has accused President Trump of a callous indifference to
human life for putting American national interests ahead of Khashoggi, an
Islamist pal of Osama bin Laden. But it’s the media radicals whose horrid
idealism put half a million people into the ground in the service of the
region’s Islamists.
Khashoggi’s Islamist political agenda killed enough people to
qualify as its own genocide.
Half a million dead and half a million Jihadists rampaging around
the world are the outcome of an idealistic foreign policy in which chattering
class lefties allowed Islamists like Khashoggi to call the shots. The tiny
minority of extremists was never that tiny, but it grew to a monstrous size
with massive infusions of cash and military interventions plotted by Islamists
and implemented by Washington D.C.
Many of the 70,000 Jihadists in Syria were directly or indirectly
funded by the Obama administration. As were many of the 5,000 Jihadists in
Libya, where Obama’s illegal military intervention led to everything from a
near Al Qaeda takeover of Mali to the flow of surface-to-air missiles to Hamas
terrorists.
Major terror groups and state sponsors of terror from Pakistan to
Iran to the Palestinian Authority also saw huge cash transfers from American
taxpayers to Islamic terrorists.
In his first year in office, Obama signed off on a $7.5 billion
aid package for Pakistan. The Islamic terror state repaid us by harboring Osama
bin Laden and aiding Islamic terrorists killing American soldiers.
This year, President Trump made drastic cuts to foreign aid to Pakistan
after tweeting, “The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33
billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing
but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools.”
We’re still foolishly funding Jihadists, including the tens of
thousands of members of the Palestinian Authority’s security forces, even after
their leader, Abbas, called for the destruction of the White House.
CSIS doesn’t list the Islamic terror militias in the Terrorist
Occupied Territories in Israel. That leaves the tens of thousands of Jihadists
in Hamas, Fatah and other Palestinian Authority TOT terror groups out of the
calculations. These groups are not just a threat to Israel. Hamas is an arm of
the Muslim Brotherhood and is backed by Iran. Its skills and resources are at
the disposal of allied terror groups.
That’s how Iran’s Hezbollah assisted Al Qaeda in its preparations
for 9/11. It’s why Iran is aiding the Taliban today. An Islamic terror group or
terrorist anywhere is a link in a global terror network.
That is the understanding that made ISIS so deadly, striking from
Iraq to Paris to New York.
Islamic terrorists are not a tiny minority of half a million. They
are not an aberration. They are everywhere. And the failed foreign establishment
funded and aided many of them.
Military interventions spread them, democratization brought them
to power and immigration transplanted them from war zones into our countries.
Their numbers have more than doubled in a decade. If the Left gets to set foreign
policy again, in another generation there will be millions.
If we want to avert that outcome, our interventions, regime change
and immigration policies must all objectively meet the test of making
societies, including our own, less Islamist, not more so. Foreign aid should be
barred by law from going to any country or militia whose goal is to establish
Islamic theocracy by force. Any intervention must be objectively shown to make
a society less bound to Islamic law. And immigration policy must be aimed at
reducing the percentage of Islamists in the United States.
Otherwise the next Islamic civil war won’t be fought in Syria, but
in the United States of America.
Islamic terrorists are a “tiny minority of extremists”. That’s the
message we’ve been hearing ever since 9/11. They’re only a handful of “guys in

FROM COUNTERING ENEMY PROPAGANDA TO PROMOTING IT
How
we produce enemy propaganda against ourselves.
How
we produce enemy propaganda against ourselves.
The
West, particularly the left, not only believes the enemy’s big lie that “Islam
means peace”, but we propagate the lie ourselves. And we do this while blaming
ourselves for the Islamic enemy’s jihad on us. This corrupt state of ours began
with our pretending that inferior cultures aren’t inferior and superior
cultures aren’t superior. It began when we told nice lies about rotten cultures
and rotten lies about great cultures. It began with the double poison of
political correctness and multiculturalism, which spawned Islamic correctness.
This self-destructive rot in the West allows the enemy to remain undefeated 17
years after 9/11, and it allows many of us to utter “Islam means peace” no
matter what Islam preaches, no matter what Muslims do, no matter what horrors
we witness with our own eyes.
And
our refusal to challenge the enemy’s big lie, besides a number of disparate
individuals across the West, and a handful of organizations like The Freedom
Center and others, has corrupted the West on all levels, from art, to politics,
to news, to media, to academia, to think tanks. According to some reports,
Saudi Arabia is considering buying Legendary Entertainment, which produces
comic books and movies. And if that goes through, (other reports say Legendary
isn’t interested in selling to Saudi Arabia) it is guaranteed to produce more
Islam-friendly entertainment. But looking at how Islam-friendly 99% of our
entertainment is, why is the Saudi government bothering? They used to have to
buy people to kiss Islam’s ass, but now it’s done for free.
In
comic books, Muslim superheroes are being shoved down reader’s throats, without
demand, and without much interest even from Muslims. In TV, there’s always that
kind, wise Muslim teaching Westerners the errors of their ways. And this goes
for movies as well, where Muslims are only portrayed as victims or heroes.
Just
today, the illiberal New York Times celebrated Mohammad, the warlord founder of
Islam whose religion motivates the Islamic enemy’s war on the West. They
published a piece of enemy propaganda by a Muslim, Haroon Moghul, called “Happy Birthday,
Muhammad.” This is disgraceful. The civilized
world’s newspapers shouldn’t be celebrating a warlord whose war continues to
murder innocents over a thousand years after his death. A newspaper located in
the same city of the worst attack against non-Muslims ever perpetrated by
Mohammad’s followers.
And
yet only a minority will find this to be intolerable, as most people have
become inured to it, thanks to Islam’s rabid propagandists, coupled with the
left’s rabid propagandists. I still get shocked at how much undeserved praise
Islam gets, and how much it gets away with murder. And I’m glad I still have
the capacity to get shocked, as I’ve never made peace with this intolerable
state of ours, and I never will. But the truth does break out from time to
time, even in unexpected places, and millions are exposed to it, in a
surprising way.
The
BBC TV series, Bodyguard, was such a big hit in
the UK, and now on Netflix, not only because it’s well done, with great
writing, acting and production quality, but because it tells the truth, in the
end. In the end, it shows us a truth that nearly no entertainment does today,
regarding the Islamic enemy and our willful blindness about it. That’s why the
UK went crazy over it. Westerners are dying to hear the truth. We’re sick and
tired of being lied to every single day about what we’re facing in the Islamic
threat.
SPOILER:
The
show saved the best for last, as it revealed a truth about us and the Islamic
enemy. Seeing the hero of the story, who fought the Islamic enemy overseas as a
British soldier, and who should be wise to it, get fooled by a Muslim who
played victim in the premiere, only to reveal herself as a cold-blooded
jihadist in the finale, speaks to the West’s refusal to see the enemy for what
it is. This enemy is as brutal as it is deceitful. Everything is a weapon to
it, including words and emotions. And the Islamic enemy, through this show,
reveals itself in a way I don’t recall seeing in post-9/11 shows that deal with
terrorism. And yes, I’ve seen nearly all the ones that have been offered in TV
and movies, and I’ve enjoyed some, particularly 24, but these shows always push
the lie that jihadists are perverters of Islam, or that they’re noble in their
own way, or that they’re mere dupes to some evil politicians and businessmen,
etc., and we’re so used to those lies, that when the truth is told, it lifts a
good show to great heights.
END
SPOILER
So
while many in the West have allowed themselves to fall for the lies about
Islam, the truth still breaks out in unexpected ways. So of course the show has
been branded “Islamophobic” by Muslims and leftists. The show has a killer
ending, and yes, I’m Shocked that the BBC aired it. But I’m not shocked that it
was a major success with Millions of viewers.
And one last thing: Leftist Hollywood has had 17 years to show how
down they are for Islam, but even they haven’t pulled the trigger and had a
Muslim play the lead in one of their blockbuster action films. I know someone
will tell me, “Don’t give them any ideas”, or “You know that’s just around the
corner”, or even, “They Already Have!”, but the fact is, in 17 years, they
haven’t put their millions where their mouths are. Why? Because even they know
that they can’t get away with completely ignoring jihad as they have, and then
hit us with a hero who shares the same religion as the enemy at war with us.
They can’t get away with it. And they know it. So things are bad, but the truth
always gets out, no matter the lies that are concocted to stifle it. The Truth
Always Gets Out.

ISLAM: FROM THE DELUSIONAL TO THE
DANGEROUS
A 1,400-year-old primeval testimony of indoctrination and conquest.
October 3,
2018
It has been widely asserted by many
psychologists that human beings act upon their beliefs. Well, if this is true, we can deduce that beliefs direct people
in life, and while some beliefs are harmless, some are the motivating force for
good, others are delusional, misguided, and even outright dangerous.
In my opinion, every version of the belief
called “Islam” ranges from the delusional to the dangerous.
Islam is a fantasy, birthed by Muhammad’s
delusion that he relayed to his first wife and employer, Khadija. Greatly frightened, he told Khadija that he was visited by a
jinn (devil) in the Hira cave. Khadija comforted the distraught man by assuring
him that the episode was Allah’s way of choosing him as his messenger.
Muhammad believed his rich wife/employer,
who was 15 years his senior and the delusion became a belief: Islam. Remarkably
enough, under the early tutelage of Khadija, Muhammad succeeded in attracting
influential followers. Before long, the movement gathered more and more power
through violent campaigns, and the faith was taken to new people and foreign
lands.
This impressive delusion, Islam, presently
has in its stranglehold in over a billion humans, posing an existential threat to
all non-Muslims.
Islam is rooted in the primitive tribal
mentality of “Us against Them,” “We the righteous against the heathens,” “We
the servants submissive to the Great Allah against the rebellious enemies of
Allah.” Islam is a polarizer. Islam is an enemy-maker. To Islam, a non-Muslim
is a combatant against Allah, and he is fair game to be subjugated and killed.
When some billion and a half people adhere to the pathological belief of Islam
and use it as their marching orders for life, the rest of humanity can ignore
the threat only at its own peril.
After 1400 years, Islam is still on a
campaign of conquest throughout the known world. Hordes of life-in-hand
foot-soldier fanatical Muslims are striving to kill and get killed. All they
want is the opportunity to discharge their homicidal-suicidal impulse, on their
way to Allah’s promised glorious afterlife. And in the background, granting the
foot-soldiers’ wishes, are their handlers, the puppeteers, who pull the strings
and detonate these human bombs.
Those who cherish life must recognize these
emissaries of death, what makes them, what motivates them, and how best to
defend against them. The campaign of death waged by these Islamic jihadists, be
he a puppet or a puppeteer, is energized by the belief of delectable rewards
that await the faithful implementer of Allah’s dictates.
Through a highly effective indoctrination,
the jihadist has come to believe firmly in Islam’s absolute delusion. He
believes that Allah is the one and only supreme creator of the heavens and the
Earth; that it is his duty and privilege, to abide by Allah’s will and carry
out his plans at all costs. He believes firmly in a gloriously wonderful
immortal afterlife in paradise, for which a martyr’s death is the surest
quickest admission. Although the dominating theme of the delusion is
quasi-spiritual, the promised rewards of the afterlife awaiting the martyr are
sensual and material.
All the things and activities that the
jihadist desires and cannot attain or practice, and rejects in his earthly
life, will be purified and proffered to him in the paradise of the next life.
Thus goes the delusion.
As I have asserted in my previous articles,
it is important to understand that the human mind is not a perfect discerner of
objective reality. Reality is in the eye of the beholder. The outside world
only supplies bits and pieces of raw material that the mind puts together to
form its reality. Depending on the type and number of bits and pieces that a
given mind receives, its reality can be very different from that of another
mind. The more prescribed and homogeneous a group, the greater is the group’s
consensual reality, since the members share much in common, experiential input
and reinforce each other’s’ mindset.
Thus members of a given religious order,
for instance, tend to think much more similarly to one another than to members
of other groups with different experiential histories. Various approximations
of the objective reality, therefore, rule the mind. The degree to which these
approximations deviate from the larger group’s consensual reality determines
its delusional extent and severity.
A methamphetamine user’s reality
is often distorted in a different way. Under the influence of the drug, an
intense paranoia overtakes him. His reality is dominated by the belief that one
or more people are lurking about to harm or kill him. He may wield a deadly
weapon, going from room to room, from closet to closet, in search of the
assailants.
If you believe that a bug is camping deeply
inside your body, then you might go ahead and try to dig the non-existent bug
out. If you believe that people are lurking around the house to harm or kill
you, you go after them before they get to you. If you believe that all the
troubles of the world are due to the evil-doings of the non-Muslims who war
against Allah, then you do all you can to fight and kill them, particularly
since Allah tells you to do so in the Quran. The drug-induced delusions are
hallucinations.
They are dramatic and usually transitory,
while religiously-based implantation of ideas program the mind with lasting
delusions. Delusions, even when they are at great variance from the objective
reality, can rule the mind without the need for drugs, or because of
neurological dysfunctions or other factors. The young and the less-educated are
most vulnerable to believe the claims of charlatans, con artists, and cunning
clerics, as truth and reality.
The repeated intense indoctrination of the
children even changed the perception of some of the charlatan mullahs or the
imams, who believed their own lies and rushed to their own death clinging to
trinkets. Hence some of the puppeteers, in this instance, became puppets
themselves. Such are the folly and fallibility of the human mind.
It is, therefore, understandable that many
of the higher-up Islamic puppeteers, who are usually brainwashed from early
childhood, devote their fortunes and persons to the implementation of their
deeply ingrained delusions. Deluded by the threats and promises of Islam,
Muslims, rich or poor, vie with one another in furthering the violent cause of
Allah.
Many non-Muslims are also victims of a
different, yet just as deadly, delusion. They believe that Islam is a religion
of peace, that only a small minority of Muslims are jihadists, and that Muslims
can be reasoned with to abandon the Quran-mandated elimination of
non-believers. These well-meaning simpletons are just as deluded as the fanatic
jihadists by refusing to acknowledge the fact that one cannot be a Muslim and
not abide by the dictates of the Quran.

It has been widely asserted by many
psychologists that human beings act upon their beliefs. Well, if this is true, we can deduce that beliefs direct people
in life, and while some beliefs are harmless, some are the motivating force for
good, others are delusional, misguided, and even outright dangerous.
In my opinion, every version of the belief
called “Islam” ranges from the delusional to the dangerous.
Islam is a fantasy, birthed by Muhammad’s
delusion that he relayed to his first wife and employer, Khadija. Greatly frightened, he told Khadija that he was visited by a
jinn (devil) in the Hira cave. Khadija comforted the distraught man by assuring
him that the episode was Allah’s way of choosing him as his messenger.
Muhammad believed his rich wife/employer,
who was 15 years his senior and the delusion became a belief: Islam. Remarkably
enough, under the early tutelage of Khadija, Muhammad succeeded in attracting
influential followers. Before long, the movement gathered more and more power
through violent campaigns, and the faith was taken to new people and foreign
lands.
This impressive delusion, Islam, presently
has in its stranglehold in over a billion humans, posing an existential threat to
all non-Muslims.
Islam is rooted in the primitive tribal
mentality of “Us against Them,” “We the righteous against the heathens,” “We
the servants submissive to the Great Allah against the rebellious enemies of
Allah.” Islam is a polarizer. Islam is an enemy-maker. To Islam, a non-Muslim
is a combatant against Allah, and he is fair game to be subjugated and killed.
When some billion and a half people adhere to the pathological belief of Islam
and use it as their marching orders for life, the rest of humanity can ignore
the threat only at its own peril.
After 1400 years, Islam is still on a
campaign of conquest throughout the known world. Hordes of life-in-hand
foot-soldier fanatical Muslims are striving to kill and get killed. All they
want is the opportunity to discharge their homicidal-suicidal impulse, on their
way to Allah’s promised glorious afterlife. And in the background, granting the
foot-soldiers’ wishes, are their handlers, the puppeteers, who pull the strings
and detonate these human bombs.
Those who cherish life must recognize these
emissaries of death, what makes them, what motivates them, and how best to
defend against them. The campaign of death waged by these Islamic jihadists, be
he a puppet or a puppeteer, is energized by the belief of delectable rewards
that await the faithful implementer of Allah’s dictates.
Through a highly effective indoctrination,
the jihadist has come to believe firmly in Islam’s absolute delusion. He
believes that Allah is the one and only supreme creator of the heavens and the
Earth; that it is his duty and privilege, to abide by Allah’s will and carry
out his plans at all costs. He believes firmly in a gloriously wonderful
immortal afterlife in paradise, for which a martyr’s death is the surest
quickest admission. Although the dominating theme of the delusion is
quasi-spiritual, the promised rewards of the afterlife awaiting the martyr are
sensual and material.
All the things and activities that the
jihadist desires and cannot attain or practice, and rejects in his earthly
life, will be purified and proffered to him in the paradise of the next life.
Thus goes the delusion.
As I have asserted in my previous articles,
it is important to understand that the human mind is not a perfect discerner of
objective reality. Reality is in the eye of the beholder. The outside world
only supplies bits and pieces of raw material that the mind puts together to
form its reality. Depending on the type and number of bits and pieces that a
given mind receives, its reality can be very different from that of another
mind. The more prescribed and homogeneous a group, the greater is the group’s
consensual reality, since the members share much in common, experiential input
and reinforce each other’s’ mindset.
Thus members of a given religious order,
for instance, tend to think much more similarly to one another than to members
of other groups with different experiential histories. Various approximations
of the objective reality, therefore, rule the mind. The degree to which these
approximations deviate from the larger group’s consensual reality determines
its delusional extent and severity.
A methamphetamine user’s reality
is often distorted in a different way. Under the influence of the drug, an
intense paranoia overtakes him. His reality is dominated by the belief that one
or more people are lurking about to harm or kill him. He may wield a deadly
weapon, going from room to room, from closet to closet, in search of the
assailants.
If you believe that a bug is camping deeply
inside your body, then you might go ahead and try to dig the non-existent bug
out. If you believe that people are lurking around the house to harm or kill
you, you go after them before they get to you. If you believe that all the
troubles of the world are due to the evil-doings of the non-Muslims who war
against Allah, then you do all you can to fight and kill them, particularly
since Allah tells you to do so in the Quran. The drug-induced delusions are
hallucinations.
They are dramatic and usually transitory,
while religiously-based implantation of ideas program the mind with lasting
delusions. Delusions, even when they are at great variance from the objective
reality, can rule the mind without the need for drugs, or because of
neurological dysfunctions or other factors. The young and the less-educated are
most vulnerable to believe the claims of charlatans, con artists, and cunning
clerics, as truth and reality.
The repeated intense indoctrination of the
children even changed the perception of some of the charlatan mullahs or the
imams, who believed their own lies and rushed to their own death clinging to
trinkets. Hence some of the puppeteers, in this instance, became puppets
themselves. Such are the folly and fallibility of the human mind.
It is, therefore, understandable that many
of the higher-up Islamic puppeteers, who are usually brainwashed from early
childhood, devote their fortunes and persons to the implementation of their
deeply ingrained delusions. Deluded by the threats and promises of Islam,
Muslims, rich or poor, vie with one another in furthering the violent cause of
Allah.
Many non-Muslims are also victims of a
different, yet just as deadly, delusion. They believe that Islam is a religion
of peace, that only a small minority of Muslims are jihadists, and that Muslims
can be reasoned with to abandon the Quran-mandated elimination of
non-believers. These well-meaning simpletons are just as deluded as the fanatic
jihadists by refusing to acknowledge the fact that one cannot be a Muslim and
not abide by the dictates of the Quran.
