THE MUSLIM THREAT TO AMERICA - Ilhan and Imran's Incredible Islamophobia Intimacy A shared campaign to destroy the freedom of speech. Mon Apr 25, 2022Robert Spencer12 comments
It’s Muslim Roulette. Even the most “moderate” and “peaceful” Muslims can, out of the blue, commit the most obscene acts of violence, but with no prior warning signs. These Muslims may not act outwardly any different than they have before, but internally, they began to take Islam seriously. And the more serious a Muslim takes Islam, the more potentially dangerous he or she is. Here’s what I mean by Muslim Roulette:
A is A. Islam is Islam. There is no such thing as “Good” Islam or “Bad” Islam. Islam is a totalitarian religion, while Muslims are individual human beings who may or may not practice Islam faithfully. There are active Muslims and passive Muslims, the faithful and the unfaithful, the submitted and the un-submitted in Islam, but there is no obvious way to tell the difference between them, which has its benefits for Muslims who are committed to spreading Islam by any means necessary. Mohammad said “War is deceit” and practiced this, and Muslims have followed their leader in using deception against non-Muslims from the first days of Islam to today. When Islam, the very antithesis of peace, is sold to us by Muslims and their useful idiots as being the very definition of peace, and actually gains traction, that would have made Goebbels blush.
Ilhan and Imran's Incredible Islamophobia Intimacy
A shared campaign to destroy the freedom of speech.
During the recent visit to Pakistan of the ever-winsome and fiercely patriotic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Islamabad), she made sure to visit Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan, whose Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party proudly tweeted: “US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan) called on @ImranKhanPTI in Bani Gala. They discussed Islamophobia & related issues. Ilhan Omar expressed her admiration for Imran Khan and his work for Muslims globally.” That’s right: there is war in Ukraine, the U.S. Southern border is nonexistent, crime is rampant, inflation has skyrocketed, and an American elected official found the time to travel halfway around the world to discuss “Islamophobia.”
This is an issue that is dear to both of their hearts. Omar is a cosponsor of the Combating International Islamophobia Act, which the House passed in December. The bill calls upon the president to appoint a “special envoy” to fight “Islamophobia”; this envoy will head up a State Department that will monitor the phenomenon. Omar’s bill, however, is wrongly focused in all kinds of ways, not least of which is the fact that it will combat efforts to “promote racial hatred” against Muslims, even though Islam is not a race and there are Muslims among people of all races. Meanwhile, the raucous House debate raised other problems with the bill as well, including the likelihood that it will inhibit counterterror efforts.
“The office,” says the Washington Post, “would record instances of Islamophobia, including violence against and harassment of Muslims and vandalism of their mosques, schools and cemeteries worldwide, in reports created by the State Department.” That’s fine, although it’s striking that there is no similar call for the State Department to create reports about violence against and harassment of Christians and vandalism of their churches, schools, and cemeteries worldwide, or violence against Hindus or any other religious group. Why the special treatment for Muslims? It can’t be because Muslims are uniquely the victims of persecution around the world; Christians are by far the most persecuted religious group.
Of even greater concern, however, is that the new “Islamophobia” office would target “propaganda efforts by state and nonstate media ‘to promote racial hatred or incite acts of violence against Muslim people.’” As noted above, Islam is not a race, so “racial hatred” against Muslim people is not even possible. But if the way that the word “Islamophobia” has been used up to now is any indication, what is considered to be propaganda or incitement will be based entirely on subjective criteria, and include even reporting about jihad activity and honest analysis of its motivating ideology.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) noted this, saying: “It is so vague and subjective that it could be used against legitimate speech for partisan purposes. Even the term ‘phobia’ [connotes] irrational fear, not discrimination.”
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania) also warned that the bill would be used “to silence dissent and critiques of terrorism.” He added: “By intentionally leaving the definition of ‘Islamophobia’ blank in this bill, the gentlelady and my friends on the other side of the aisle are creating an office in our State Department that will likely spew antisemitic hatred and attack Western ideas throughout the world under the farce of protecting Islam.”
That would be just fine with Imran Khan, who has been doing just that for quite some time. For years, he has been campaigning for the West to adopt Sharia blasphemy laws and restrict the freedom of speech under the guise of prohibiting “Islamophobia.” In October 2020 at the UN, he justified Islamic violence in reaction to perceived insults of Muhammad, saying: “It is important to understand this: the Prophet lives in our hearts. When he is ridiculed, when he is insulted, it hurts the—As we human know, we human beings understand one thing: the pain of the heart is far, far, far more hurtful than physical pain. And that’s why the Muslims react.” Oh, well, then it’s okay. Jews, Christians, Hindus and Buddhists have grown accustomed to insults to their faith in the public square, but Khan didn’t think Muslims had any obligation to do so; rather, all others were expected to bow to the sensibilities of Muslims.
That followed his words at the UN in September 2019, when Khan said: “The human community lives together; there should be an understanding. But Islamophobia is dividing the world. Muslim women have been asked to take off their hijab in other countries. A woman can take off her clothes in other countries but cannot put on Hijab.” He said nothing about the many women who have been threatened, brutalized, or even killed for not wearing hijab, or about the ongoing persecution of Christians and Hindus in Pakistan. For him, Muslim victimhood is all that matters, as a tool to intimidate the world into adopting Sharia prohibitions on criticism of Islam. Apparently that is Ilhan Omar’s goal as well.
During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast, pray, engage in acts of piety and charity, and reminisce over warfare and bloodshed in the name of Islam.
Virtually every Ramadan features various Islamic authorities, personages, and/or institutes reminding Muslims to take pride in and celebrate various historic battles between Muslims and non-Muslims, or “infidels” (as in this hour-long televised special). Among other things, such victories are meant to demonstrate the power, and thus truth, of Islam.
This alone should underscore Islam’s innate militancy in comparison to other religions. It further suggests that Islam is a worldly religion, one that takes pride and finds validation in something as corporeal and temporal as victory in warfare (with all the attendant collection of booty and slaves that entails).
By way of analogy, and to better appreciate Ramadan-time celebrations of jihad, imagine Christians gathered together in church during Christmas or Easter. Then, the officiating pastor or priest eulogizes the bloody military conquests Christians had over non-Christians during Christmas or Easter -- even as the congregants cheer or at least feel deep pride in their Christian faith.
Not only is such a scenario exceedingly difficult to imagine -- ultimately a reflection of how utterly different Christianity and Islam are from one another -- but many of today’s Christians have become so anti-war as to characterize even self-defense as “un-Christian.” That, at least, is what the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, seems to think: recently, while condemning war, he went so far as also to condemn Just War, the idea that war is legitimate when waged for just reasons (self-defense, liberating conquered peoples or territory, etc.)
Hence the double irony: most of the wars that took place on, and which Muslims celebrate every Ramadan had nothing to do with just war, and were in fact aggressive and imperialistic in nature.
An article on the popular website AboutIslam.net makes all this clear. Titled, “7 Remarkable Islamic Victories That Took Place in Ramadan,” it opens by saying, “Ramadan is a special month that’s full of blessings for the Muslim Ummah. It is not only famous for fasting and charity, but also for great Islamic victories that changed the world.”
Examining the list, however, there is no question that at least five of the seven military episodes it mentions -- the battle of Badr and the conquests of Mecca, Spain, Crimea, and Nubia -- were unjust, meaning they had nothing to do with Muslims engaging in self-defense or liberating their conquered territories and everything to do with Muslims waging unprovoked wars of conquest in search of plunder.
For example, although much extolled in Islamic historiography for being Islam’s first major victory over infidels, when stripped of its hagiographical veneer, the battle of Badr (624 AD) appears to have been little more than a caravan raid, driven by lust for booty.
Similarly, Muslims were the aggressors in the various conquests highlighted by AboutIslam.net for taking place on Ramadan. During these conquests, Muslims invaded non-Muslim territories, butchered and enslaved their inhabitants, and appropriated their lands -- and for no other reason, and under no other logic, than that they were “infidels,” non-Muslims.
The eighth-century invasion and subsequent conquest of Spain, for instance, featured hordes of invading Muslims slaughtering countless thousands of Christians and torching their churches (in one notable incident in Cordoba, the Muslims managed to kill two birds with one stone when they torched a church with its inhabitants trapped inside).
The same with the Crimea. Originally inhabited by Slavic peoples, Muslims -- Turks and Tatars -- brutally conquered it in the fifteenth century and turned it into an emporium of white flesh. An estimated three million Slavs -- Poles, Lithuanians, Russians, and Ukrainians -- were enslaved and, according to a contemporary chronicle, sold “like sheep” between 1450 and 1783.
This is what Muslims are supposed to remember and celebrate during their holy month -- during their equivalent of a “Christmas” or “Easter” season: the unprovoked invasions and bloody subjugations their ancestors undertook in the name of Islam against people whose only “crime” was to be non-Muslims. (Little wonder that, so riled, Muslims not infrequently randomly and murderously assault infidels in their midst.)
Incidentally, taking pride in Islamic violence is not limited to “radical” sheikhs or websites; it is quite mainstream. Thus, not only is the popular English language website, AboutIslam.net, considered “moderate” and meant to put a good face on Islam before infidels; the aforementioned article celebrating seven battles/conquests during Ramadan was published by the website’s “Family & Life” team.
Before closing, and lest Muslims truly believe that Ramadan is exclusively a month of victorious jihads, let it be noted that Muslims also lost a fair bit of military engagements during their holy month -- the pivotal Battle of Tours (732), when outnumbered Franks halted Islam’s advance into Europe, being just one of the more memorable.

Pro-Palestinian Protesters in U.S. Cities Call for Violent ‘Intifada’ Against Israel
As Palestinian violence on the Temple Mount has intensified in recent days, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrated in U.S. cities calling for deadly violence and an end to the Jewish state. In one incident, a Jewish counter-protester was allegedly punched in the face for carrying an Israeli flag.
Over the last week, anti-Israel demonstrators in the United States publicly called for an end to the State of Israel as they advocated for a violent uprising against the Jewish state.
At one rally in Los Angeles, protestors were seen waving Palestinian flags, with signs calling to “Free Palestine” and end “ethnic cleansing.”
In a clip of the event, a woman leads the crowd to the chant: “We don’t want two states, we want all of ‘48,” in reference to Israel’s establishment in 1948 and the so-called “two-state solution,” which calls for the creation of a Palestinian state in exchange for peace with the Jewish state.
However, every Israeli offer for statehood has been rejected by the Palestinians, and in most cases, countered with major escalations in violence, including the infamous launching of the deadly Second Intifada in response to the Camp David peace talks.
“No peace on stolen land,” the woman is also seen shouting, in support of the violent Palestinian riots that have taken place in Israel over the last week.
In another clip, protesters chant, “Long live the intifada!” in reference to the violent uprisings against the Jewish state.
Palestinians have launched two intifadas against the Jewish state, the second of which took place at the start of the millennium and saw hundreds of terror attacks and thousands of deaths over a four-year span.
In New York, protesters carried signs supporting “resistance” and “revolution,” and freedom for “Palestine” “from the river to the sea.”
Implying that “Palestine” rests between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea — where Israel currently exists — the statement is code for eradicating the Jewish state and its millions of Jewish citizens.
According to StopAntisemitism, a watchdog group dedicated to fighting antisemitic incitement, a Jewish counter-protester with an Israeli flag was physically assaulted at the midtown Manhattan rally.
Other signs called for Palestinian liberation “by any means necessary.”
Protesters also called for the release of all Palestinian prisoners — many convicted of violent crimes, including murder, of innocent Israeli civilians — while “saluting their leadership in the liberation movement.”
The rally was chaired by Nerdeen Kiswani, founder of Within Our Lifetime – United for Palestine (WOL).
Kiswani won the title “antisemite of the year” by Stopantisemitism.org last year following several incidents of terrorist glorification, threatening violence, and having been accused of spreading hate “by disguising it as criticisms of Israel.”
Kiswani is also the former president of the City of New York University (CUNY) branch of the radical Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), whose activists have reportedly physically assaulted, intimidated, and harassed Jewish students on campus.
According to WOL’s website, the group opposes Zionism, which it describes as “a settler-colonial white supremacist ideology,” and rejects any peaceful “collaboration and dialogue” with Zionist groups.
“The liberation of Palestine requires the abolition of zionism,” it declares.
The site also calls for both foreign and domestic resistance against the U.S., claiming to “uphold the right of all oppressed nationality people in the United States and around the world to engage in all forms of struggle in pursuit of freedom.”
“We have a responsibility as those living within the United States to resist the violence of the U.S. empire at home and abroad,” the site states. “As Internationalists, we believe that all people have the right to self-determination, and we stand in solidarity with all national liberation struggles across the globe resisting U.S. imperialism.”
After one rally in New Jersey, participants were seen outside a Jewish fraternity house at Rutgers University in an attempt to harass the Jewish students.
Similar protests took place in Berlin and London.
In Berlin, demonstrators were caught on film screaming “dirty Jews.”
The protests come as ongoing clashes between Israeli forces and violent Palestinian rioters have erupted on the Temple Mount, following visits of Jews to the site and the rioters’ attempts to prevent them from doing so.
In one incident, a group of Jewish worshippers in the Old City of Jerusalem was filmed being violently attacked by several Palestinians.
The mount is Judaism’s holiest site and Islam’s third holiest. It is administered by the Jordanian Islamic Waqf, which prohibits Jewish and Christian prayer.
Jews are currently barred from entering until the end of Ramadan at the start of next month.
On Wednesday, Israeli police were attacked with rocks and firebombs hurled from within the mosque, with some igniting fires within the mosque. Several Palestinian were arrested as a result.
“The violence endangers worshipers attempting to enter the mosque, and impeded police efforts to ensure freedom of worship at the site,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said. “The Molotov Cocktails set fire to a mat and a window causing fires that luckily were extinguished before greater damage was done.”
The current tensions follow a terror wave in Israel that saw several attacks on Israeli citizens over two weeks, resulting in 14 deaths.
The deadliest occurred in the Tel Aviv suburb of Bnei Brak, claiming five lives. Palestinians in multiple cities came out in masses to celebrate the attacks while handing out sweets to passersby.
A man from Irvine, California, was charged in the stabbing deaths of a coworker and the coworker’s roommate in Anaheim, and is being held without bail.
“Ramy Hany Mounir Fahim, 26, is charged with two counts of murder, and two enhancements each of lying in wait, multiple murders, and the personal use of a deadly weapon,” NBC Los Angeles reported Friday, adding his arraignment is set for May 6.
Fahim allegedly stabbed coworker Griffin Cuomo, 23, then stabbed Cuomo’s roommate, Jonathan Bahm, 23, during an attack that happened inside their Katella Avenue apartment early Tuesday.
Cuomo and Fahim worked for an Orange County wealth management company, but it was not clear what led to the attack at the building near Angel Stadium.
In a social media post Wednesday, the Anaheim Police Department said it arrested Fahim:
Anaheim police officers found the bodies inside an apartment on the fifth floor. “What I can tell you it’s a pretty extensive crime scene with a lot of physical evidence,” explained Anaheim police Sgt. Shane Carringer.
According to officials, several individuals called 911 about an assault in progress. Upon arrival, they found the two young men dead, a knife, and an injured person identified as Fahim.
A security guard encountered the suspect prior to the incident on the complex’s roof, according to prosecutors.
Video footage showed the outside of the apartment building and officers working inside a hallway:
Meanwhile, Fahim’s Honda Civic was found parked next to Angel Stadium.
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Friday the 26-year-old was charged with special circumstances murders for the stabbings, adding, “The special circumstances of lying in wait and multiple murders make him eligible for the death penalty.”
It appeared to be an isolated incident, Carringer told NBC, but “what is still a mystery is motive.”
Some individuals at the scene told officials they were employees of Pence Wealth Management, who came to check on a coworker that had not shown up at the office.

French Election: 60 Per Cent Support Banning Islamic Veil in Public
A poll released this week suggests that six in ten French people would support the government banning the Islamic veil in public spaces, a policy favoured by Presidential election hopeful Marine Le Pen.
The poll, which was conducted by the CSA Institute, was published on Thursday and reveals that 60 per cent of respondents were favourable to banning the Islamic veil in public spaces, with only 16 per cent of those surveyed saying they were entirely against a ban.
Men were more likely to support the ban on the Islamic veil with 65 per cent agreeing with the proposal, compared to 56 per cent of women. In terms of age groups, those over 65 were the most likely back the proposal, while people aged 18 to 24 were less likely but a majority still agreed with the ban, CNews reports.
A recent study in France from the Paris School of Economics has offered evidence that would appear to support potentially positive outcomes from a headscarf ban in public. Researching the impact of the Islamic garment being banned by France in schools from the 1990s, the paper reported the order was: “followed by a significant improvement in the academic performance of female students in the Muslim group.”
During Wednesday’s debate between Presiden Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen ahead of the second round of the French presidential elections this weekend, the topic of a possible ban on the Islamic veil was mentioned.
“I am in favour of banning the veil in public spaces. The veil is a uniform imposed by the Islamists, a large part of the young women who put it on cannot do otherwise in reality, even if they do not dare to say it. We must release all these women and for that, we must ban the veil in public spaces,” Le Pen said.
President Macron, however, was against such a move, saying, “The question of the veil is the question of religion. I am for the law of 1905, it is our Republic. The Republic is secular. Secularism is not about fighting a religion.”
“With me, there will be no ban on the headscarf, nor the kippah nor any religious symbol, in the public space. The principle of equality is that if you enter into this logic Madame Le Pen, you will ban all religious symbols in public spaces and not just the headscarf,” Macron added.
Earlier this month while campaigning ahead of the first round of the presidential election, President Macron praised a woman wearing an Islamic veil as a “feminist” but decried French people who were against Wuhan coronavirus lockdowns saying they were not living in the “real world.”
