Looking for ‘Islamophobia’ in All the Usual Places
While this shrill report suggests that millions of Americans have been manipulated into becoming “Islamophobes,” it shows nothing more than the frustration of their authors. While the Center for American Progress conspires to demonize an American public that watches as millions the world over march under the banner of installing Shariah law — complete with its brutal punishments, subjugation of minorities, and obligation to wage jihad — they are clearly losing a battle with reality.
Even without the work of the experts and activists in highlighting the characteristics of this ideology and its dangers, the far-left is hoping their fellow countrymen don’t notice as jihadist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood rally for a Shariah that is straight from the pages of the Center for Security Policy’s book, Shariah: The Threat to America.
Shariah: The Threat to America – and, indeed, much of the work by those vilified in the report, including Steven Emerson, Daniel Pipes, Frank Gaffney, Robert Spencer, and David Yerushalmi — gives voice to millions of Americans who look at the news and see the sharp end of a worldwide movement, like a storm, touching down in every continent. From the Middle East to Europe and Africa, to Russia, India, and the United States, there exists violence or intimidation in the name of Islam. These disparate engagements are seen by millions of Muslims as campaigns in a war called jihad. For too long, Americans have been told to understand these campaigns as disparate events, triggered by political, territorial, or national grievances.
To understand what’s happening, however, a worthwhile analysis must begin not with those grievances, but must take into account how the belligerents see themselves: their goals, aspirations, how they justify their actions based on their self-enunciated code, Shariah. This is a conversation both the far left and Islamists are desperate to avoid; they have gone on the offensive, unsurprisingly, by labeling their opponents “Islamophobes.”
Rather than look for the predictable “root causes” of economics, xenophobia, conspiracy, and the like that are catnip to the far left and the academy, the Center for American Progress and their fellow travelers in the “Shariah Defense Lobby” could find a more accurate reason for Americans’ increasing concern with Shariah: They could turn on the TV news.
The far-left & Islamists use each other since the goal of both is the end of the capitalist free enterprise system. This is just like the alliance of Hitler & Stalin pre-WWII – until Hitler attacked Russia. Both the far-left & Islamists are utopian totalitarians who seek a global government, one sees a leftist dictatorship world government under the UN, the other a Shari’a global caliphate. Both have a collectivist world-view, meaning essentially, the suppression of the individual.
“The far-left & Islamists use each other since the goal of both is the end of the capitalist free enterprise system.” – Correct!
But there’s more isn’t there?… Included under goal is the objective of total annihilation of Israel, and the subjugation of the U.S.A. to Islamic rule via political stealth jihad just like Europe. Currently, the Obama administration is assisting in this objective, not knowing how dangerous their Islamist cohorts really are. Obama is clueless…so he needs our prayers; especially now since in a couple of weeks the U.S.A. has the power to veto the U.N. attempt to position Islamist’s to achieve their objectives.
Both the Left & the Islamists share the goal of eliminating Israel, anti-Semitism is an integral part of their ideology as well as a tool, a tactic, to harness a powerful bigotry. It’s not different from another totalitarian ideology, Nazism (Nazism is a left-wing ideology = National Socialism).
You say Obama is clueless, I’m not so sure, admittedly, he is incompetent but he remains a committed leftist as well as having sympathy for all things Islamic & antipathy for America (20 years in Rev. Wright’s church was not for nothing, plus his other unsavoury associations). Obama is quite the Muslim Brotherhood stooge.
This report obviously won’t do anything to change the intolerance, the racism, the supremacism, the misogyny and the brutality of islam’s core texts and doctrines. Therefore, unless Mein Qurampf, the Hadith, the Sira and authoritative guides to sharia such as The Reliance of the Traveler are banned and/or made unavailable to US infidels (and, let’s face it, there is simply no way of accomplishing this these days), these efforts by muslims and their islamophilic leftist allies will prevent no one from studying islam on their own and finding out for themselves what this totalitarian political ideology masquerading as a religion is truly all about.
What you correctly identify as the “Shariah Defense Lobby” is made up of an unholy alliance between the front groups of George Soros (Center for American Progress and others) and the front groups of the Muslim Brotherhood (Council on American-Islamic Relations and others).
George Soros and his money got the Obama Administration elected. Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated and corrupted BOTH parties.

I know, I know “After Hitler: US” Us was almost exterminated by Hitler.No one learns? Islamo fascism is contrary to everything they purport to believe. It has behaved in a nasty fashion when it could (Clitordectomy,purduah,rape rooms Dropping walls on homosexuals,) How can one even prertend to defend this?
I am always amazed by the alliance between the far left and the Islamists. Sharia law stands against everything that the ACLU is fighting for. While they are fighting to banish all religions from the public square in the name of separation of church and state, they see nothing wrong with bringing sharia law into the public square. Don’t they know what sharia laws mean for gays and lesbians? Do they really believe that when Sharia will take over and be instituted in the US, they will be exempt? They will be the first ones killed in the name of sharia, because of their beliefs.
bava,
Then do you not find it odd, that a large number of gays and lesbians enthusiastically support and defend Islam?
Even while they are being murdered, they denounnce Christians and embrace Islam.
That’s the same phenomenon as the feminists supporting the Palestinians and other jihadis, while bashing not only Israel but also Christians and Jews everywhere. They simply ignore the way women are treated under shari’a law.
Their ultimate goal isn’t the defense of human rights, women’s and gay rights to be specific. Their goal is to help those hell-bent on destroying Western Civilization. To them, having to throw women and gays under the bus, while many women and gays are more than happy to throw themselves under the bus, is just part of the process of reaching that goal.
You’ve got that right, sad to say.
There’s a famous saying that goes “The enemy of my enemy is my ally”.
It’s not that hard to understand gay activists and Islamists working together to challenge a common enemy – conservatives – but what baffles me is how they can not see that if they are successful, there will be a massive clash between the two victors, assuming they DO win.
It will be like Hitler and Stalin all over again. Those two hated one another but buried the hatchet temporarily in 1939 and were suddenly “friends”. By 1941, Hitler had had enough and turned on his supposed ally and did his level best to annihilate Stalin and his Marxist state. He came quite close to succeeding.
Any damn fool should have seen that coming but Stalin was so determined to believe that his ally Hitler would never turn on him, that he ignored sign after sign after sign that Hitler was about to launch a massive offensive. Stalin actually ordered people who gave these warnings to be shot as provocateurs when he should have been pinning medals on them. When Hitler’s attack actually began, Stalin basically hid at one of his dachas and left Molotov to run the show. Finally, 10 days after the German invasion had begun, the Politburo all drove over to Stalin’s dacha and confronted him. According to eyewitnesses, Stalin expected to be arrested and very likely shot for his foolishness in making a pact with Hitler and refusing to accept the clear signs that the pact was unravelling. But the Politburo was so ineffectual without him that they begged him to take charge, which he promptly did. It took a lot of hard slogging but the Soviets finally got their act together – after causing the needless deaths of literally millions of Soviet soldiers through Stalin’s initial ineptitude – and defeated Hitler on the Eastern Front.
If the unthinkable happens and the progressives and Islamists actually defeat us, I would expect the confrontation between the victors to be a bloodbath of unprecedented size. I would hate to predict a winner. Given the left’s suspicion of the military and incompetence with practically everything, it’s hard to picture them trouncing the Islamists easily with the massive edge that technology normally supplies.
Then again, it’s entirely possible the Left would simply collapse like a house of cards and let themselves be absorbed by the global caliphate. For all their anger and venom, I doubt they have the strength of character to see the error of their ways or the physical courage to do anything about it.
The link should be obvious (I almost wrote, “the link should be Obama”, the link is so obvious) — angry African-Americans in the 1960′s, most famously Cassius Clay, a.k.a. Muhammad Ali, and the Black Muslims (and Obama’s worthless father and mother), were suborned by Islam as the “religion of peace”. The link is simply black American Muslims and their sympathizers, still bent on seeing only white racism and not their own adolescent hatred of whites. The underlying psychological belief in both Muslims and what I call the Insane Left, is “an eye for an eye”. They don’t want progress, they don’t want justice; they want revenge. Obama’s election was mostly about getting revenge for the Bush presidency.
I too have had for years the uneasy feeling that there was something insane about the irrational policies of the left. I suspect fundamentalist religions in general and Islam in particular also have lost their way and become unhinged. The extremely irrational environmentalist policies of the one and willingness to commit murder on a grand scale of the other speak volumes about the mental state of both. Neither can respond to scientific fact or rational thought without resorting to name calling, falsehoods and violence which leads to conclude both are irrational and quite possibly suffering from some sort of psychosis. Are the truly insane actually running the asylum?
“The extremely irrational environmentalist policies of the one and willingness to commit murder on a grand scale of the other speak volumes about the mental state of both.”
Your wording suggests that you are associating irrational environmental policies with the “progressives” and murder on a grand scale with the Islamists. Let me assure you that the historical record is clear that the “progressives” have a VERY extensive history of mass murder. Their chief instigators were Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot although many other progressives made their own contributions to the death tolls.”

“Neither can respond to scientific fact or rational thought without resorting to name calling, falsehoods and violence which leads to conclude both are irrational and quite possibly suffering from some sort of psychosis. Are the truly insane actually running the asylum?”
In a word, yes. At least that’s the way it appears.
Even stranger was a muslim conference with David Duke as a guest speaker.
Tim,
Hate? Most people have no interest in Islam .Why don’t they leave US alone?
They are the ones continuously screaming nonsense,claiming rights that are nonexistent ,holding public demonstrations, yelling death to all races,religions and ideologies they don’t like and shoving their religion in peoples faces.
Btw sharia law has been used in over 30 court cases in the U.S.
There are terrorist training groups in the U.S.
762 people died in terror attacks in August.
Think it won’t be you next?
I perceive that the ACLU, like the Islamists, hates good and loves evil. Both
viciously attack the Right, and support the Wrong. Evil ones are fond of one another, “Birds of a feather…”. And the practical application of Sharia is very much like the generalized Chaos preferred by the American Criminal Lovers Union.
Islamists to the far-left after they have achieved their goals:
“Thank you for all of your help. we will kill you last”
Someone should make a documentary about the loss of Dearborn, MI – The first islamic city under sharia law in America. That would open some eyes.
Makes perfect sense, leftists in league with an enemy seeking our destruction, coming out of the closet you might say. In wartime too, what better time? Really, there is no surprise here, the leftist urges to hate and power were always there.
Obama is in on this big time, bet your bippy on it !!
johnt, please get it right- “it” being the quote from Laugh In with the full quote being, “You bet your SWEET bippy”. Strange how a stupid show such as that and the same “minds” at work in the media/ entertainment industry have brought us, The U.S., into the mess of this modern time of decline. Just wanted to keep it light with my goofy reply. Sorry I went too far. Peace, out, Charlie
Both the left and Islamists want to create a scoeity where everyone follows a very strict set of rules governing almost everything. Perhaps the left relealizes that secular humanism won’t cut it . I think it was Jonah Goldberg who said “You can’t destroy the religion, but not the religious impusle” People need some kind of faith. Replacing Christianity with Islam would help in creating an easialy controllable population. Another example is enviormentalism. Its not so much about science but a form of Neo-Romanticism (or Integral Theory) tempered with New Age pablam.
People need to do a lot more than “turn on the TV news.” The TV news is woefully inadequate in their feeble attempts to pick up on the depth of the Islamic threat, ever cautious and concerned about political correctness and being perceived as Islamophobes themselves, a notion that surely exists given the riots, slurs, overreactions and violence perpetrated or promised at every critique, no matter how innocuous, of anything remotely connected to Islam.
Burn a Torah or a bible, defame Christianity, Jesus, the Church, the Pope, Israel, the Jews, any religious belief or disbelief; no problem. Freedom of speech, separation of Church and State, the majority view concerning Agnostics and Atheists, legitimate targets for criticism, commonplace. Those Idolatrous, Zionists, G_dless, child molesting, pedophiliacs, all, that is, except Mohammad, have it coming……… Ho Hum! America at its best. Burn a Koran, draw a cartoon, mention the threat of Sharia or Mohammad without the obligatory PBUH and Muslims, members of “the religion of peace,” chant “death to America,” “death to Israel,” riot in the streets, commit assassinations and murder or threats thereof, all in the name of Allah, and the West runs for cover. America at its worst.
The Liberal affinity for this xenophobic, ideological, religious sect is based on the same unfathomable affiliation they had or still have with communism. The enemy of my enemy, America, must be my friend and, as would have been the case with the communists, the Muslims hope to dispense with these “useful idiots” after they’ve accomplished their own destruction taking the rest of us with them.
These hopeless individuals consider themselves too intelligent, too clever to ever be dissuaded from their cherished, deeply inculcated positions by “less intellectually adroit. less nuanced” common folk. Common sense is just that………common, unworthy of consideration by the superior intellectual. They blame all of America’s travails on American ignorance, militarism, imperialism and that ever present, nebulous, nefarious “military, industrial complex.” Just look at all those Hollywood and Television “docudramas” and you’ll have all the “facts,” real and made up, to prove just how evil and bigoted America, the military, the CIA, the FBI, the Republicans and the police “really are” (According to these “brilliant, worldly intellectuals imbued with the unpolluted experience of the superior mind” the entire military, intelligence and law enforcement communities are a bunch of deviant, chest thumping Neanderthals, the cause of all the mayhem, hatred and criminal activity in the Western world). The intention, we’re assured, is to expose the guilty, like Scooter Libby and praise the heroic innocents, like Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson and might as well reinforce the narrative which “must be true.” It represents the opinions of the “best, most literate intellectual minds” on the planet, don’t you know, with the unpolluted experience of the “thought experiment.”
How is this stubborn, deeply entrenched, narcissistic mindset ever changed and need it be? It must be hoped that the knowledge, relevant credentials and motivations of those predominant in the movement to expose the true nature of Islam and its inherent, religiously motivated threat to all that Western society holds dear, will eventually prevail. “The truth will out.” The Muslim community itself cannot mask its duplicity forever. Until then the fallacious criticisms from those who shout the Islamic propaganda loudly from their figurative public blare horns need only be confronted with facts grounded in the evidence readily available to anyone with even a casual interest and willing to peruse with an open mind. It will have no effect on them but will serve to spread the truth to us common folk, many of whom remain in the dark, mired in the swamp of politically correct, no matter the cost, America. A factual, persistent presentation on the TV news would go a long way towards this end.
“A factual, persistent presentation on the TV news would go a long way towards this end.”
Agreed but that seems pretty unlikely given the Left’s control of the MSM.
It’s fascinating how many problems could be (relatively) easily solved if the MSM simply spoke the demonstrable truth about things. As you say, if they simply cited the actual words in the Koran and the hadiths and got a certified imam to acknowledge that the more violent hadiths take precedence over the relatively gentler Koran, there’d be clear proof that Islam is a system is happy to use violence to take over the whole world.
By the same token, if they’d actually bothered to vet Obama with even 1% of the effort they are making to find problems with Republican candidates, Obama would have been well known as the empty suit he is and he’d never have been elected. (Not that life under President Hillary Clinton, Obama’s fellow Alinskyite, would have been all that much better.)
I continue to think that conservatives need to make an effort to gain a bigger foothold in the MSM. I know that the New Media are far more balanced than the MSM but there are still a lot of people that aren’t seeing much but the MSM. Those are the ones that are going to be conned into voting for Obama again. If there are enough of them, we’ll be stuck with that loser for another 4 years – or longer if he figures out how to appoint himself President For Life.
so fair and balanced FOX is not mainstream enough for your fair and balanced views?
I have an irrational fear of strangers who want to blow me up. Can anyone recommend a therapist?

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”
I think it’s high time these organizations were investigated for Anti American activities. They’re all subversives.
Under Spengler’s “It Isn’t just About Islam”, I posted this which seems appropriate also for this article “Looking For Islamophobia”….so, I’ve pasted it right here:
”’…I’ve posted elsewhere that the onus should be on the Muslims themselves to show the rest of us that they are in fact willing to be American Citizens in all that that implies. Show the rest of us Americans by their example. Show by example that they are not subversive elements. Show by example that they have been and will continue to assist the rest of us Americans in fighting their barbarous co-religionists… and militant Islam itself. Show the rest of us that they are not passive bystanders. Go ahead, change our “misconceptions” by examples.
Don’t mention the numerically insignificant Muslims in our Armed Forces today as that example.
So far the Muslims in America are seemingly content acting the role of the passive “victims” of “mean American prejudices” and that over-used word “racism”.
And, regarding that variant, if you will, of the Muslims, Islamism, they who are most doctrinally knowledgeable among their co-religionists must help the rest of us determine the nexus, or fulcrum, or crossover stage that turns a Muslim adult male or adolescent male into that rabid jihadist animal called an Islamist. There is a blurring, an indefiniteness that seems to be unattended and in need of clarification….publicly.
I’m sick and tired of being the one who must try to “understand the Muslims” and be “tolerent of the Muslims”.
If there are allegedly one billion Muslims, surely a large number of them can organize themselves into an effective fighting force of their own, and stop this hypocrisy of standing aside and holding our coats while we Americans and too few allies are trying to curb this Muslim/Islamist barbarism.
Don’t talk to me about “sympathy” and “understanding” and “tolerance” of Islam.”
My source, Dr. Google, has this to say about Islamophobia….
“In 1997, the British Runnymede Trust defined Islamophobia as the “dread or hatred of Islam and therefore, to the fear and dislike of all Muslims,” stating that it also refers to the practice of discriminating against Muslims by excluding them from the economic, social, and public life of the nation. It includes the perception that Islam has no values in common with other cultures, is inferior to the West and is a violent political ideology rather than a religion.”
Count me among the Islamophobes…..what more evidence do we need than 11 September, 2001?
Muslims simply cannot become Americans as long as they profess to believe in their Koran. Why can’t we see this massive hypocrisy?
For believers in Dominionism, rule by non-Christians is a sort of sacrilege.
The Christian Reconstructionists tend to be skeptical of Pentecostalism, with its magic, prophesies, speaking in tongues, and wild ecstasies. Certainly, there are overlaps between the traditions—Oral Roberts, where Bachmann studied with Eidsmoe, was a Pentecostal school. But it’s only recently that one group of Pentecostals, the New Apostolic Reformation, has created its own distinct Dominionist movement. And members see Perry as their ticket to power.
“The New Apostles talk about taking dominion over American society in pastoral terms,” wrote Wilder in the Texas Observer. “They refer to the ‘Seven Mountains’ of society: family, religion, arts and entertainment, media, government, education, and business. These are the nerve centers of society that God (or his people) must control.” He quotes a sermon from Tom Schlueter, New Apostolic pastor close to Perry. “We’re going to infiltrate [the government], not run from it. I know why God’s doing what he’s doing … He’s just simply saying, ‘Tom I’ve given you authority in a governmental authority, and I need you to infiltrate the governmental mountain.”
According to Wilder, members of the New Apostolic Reformation see Perry as their vehicle to claim the “mountain” of government. Some have told Perry that Texas is a “prophet state,” destined, with his leadership, to bring America back to God. The movement was deeply involved in The Response, the massive prayer rally that Perry hosted in Houston earlier this month. “Eight members of The Response ‘leadership team’ are affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation movement,” wrote Wilder. “The long list of The Response’s official endorses—posted on the event’s website—reads like a Who’s Who of the apostolic-prophetic crowd, including movement founder C. Peter Wagner.”
We have not seen this sort of thing at the highest levels of the Republican Party before. Those of us who wrote about the Christian fundamentalist influence on the Bush administration were alarmed that one of his advisers, Marvin Olasky, was associated with Christian Reconstructionism. It seemed unthinkable, at the time, that an American president was taking advice from even a single person whose ideas were so inimical to democracy. Few of us imagined that someone who actually championed such ideas would have a shot at the White House. It turns out we weren’t paranoid enough. If Bush eroded the separation of church and state, the GOP is now poised to nominate someone who will mount an all-out assault on it. We need to take their beliefs seriously, because they certainly do.
Many of the comments in this thread seem to bear out exactly what them report says. Please, before you post another anti-Islam post, read the report. At least read the conclusion (the link is provided above). I’ve always reckoned that everyone needs someone to hate. When I was growing up we didn’t have any blacks or Mexicans, so we hated American Indians. So it is today with Muslims. There NO threat of “Sharia law” anywhere in the United States, only there is the threat of dishonest actors using propaganda to marginalize some other group within our society. To spout “get rid of the Muslims” is just sick and twisted.
TimJ…..
…such simplistic thinking as your #15 is part of our national problem…..which is our not realizing the need to re-kindle the feeling of 12 September, 2001.
Only adolescents “need someone to hate”, adolescents weren’t piloting those airliners into the World Trade Center buildings. They were hardened and well trained, well motivated. That attack was brilliantly executed.
The sickness and twisting is indeed within Islam as applied against the West wherever possible.
Amateurs need not attempt terrorism execution, although the training does start with impressionable adolescents in mosque-attached madrassas.
“Rekindle the feeling of September 12 2001″? I was here and do not recall that “the feeling” was to hate on Muslims – and also recall President Bush saying exactly the opposite on repeated occasions. Please – read the report. It shows pretty clearly that those who are most vehemently espousing anti-Islam sentiments are being paid to do so. Geller, Gaffney, Spencer et al would no doubt be happy to hold forth on whatever issue they were paid for: climate change, 9-11 truth, pro-abortion, whatever pays. But they get paid to hate on Muslims, so they deliver. These people aren’t altruists, they are employees.
Timmy: I’ll take America and all her worts and you, Timmy, can take Islam and all its beheadings.
And go cry me a river on some other thread. F*#@ you and your sensitive feelings.
What a douc&%!
Tim, do you really not care that over 100,000 people every year are murdered or executed for being or becoming members of religions other than Muslim (excluding casualties of war or civil strife)?
Do you really not care that according to the Britih Association of Chief Police officers at least 17,000 crimes of violence against women, honour-killings and forced familial rape of under-age girls occurs every year in Britain alone?
Do you really not care that a Florida woman was beaten to death for the crime of obtaining a divorce and this is spun by the coronor as being suicide committed by repeatedly banging her own head on a table…surely a verdict more bizarre than even anything in the warped world of Monty Python?
Do you really not care that sharia has already been adhered to in at least 23 major trials in the USA?
Do you reeally not care that over 100 million women in the world have been genitally mutilated in the name of Islam, that this is true of 60% of the female population of Egypt for example, that in every community where there are Muslims young girls routinely have their clitoris removed with a razor-blade or scalpal, including in your own town or street, wherever it is, if there are Muslims living there? That this is acknowledged by law enforcement to occur and yet they do nothing to prevent it?
Seems to me thaat if you really dont care about any of the above then you must be pretty much without any feelings for humanity. Totally insensitive to other peoples circumstances. in fact, utterly callous and puely self-regarding.
But, heh, this is what all this “islamophobe” and “racist” name calling is about, just using the abuse of others to inflate your own self-regard. Why, you even admit as much when you say that “everyoe” (ie, that means you Tim) “needs” someone to hate!
You need to hate US becaause we DO care in ways you cannot rise to even imagine! Its our caring and your inadequacy in the real feeling department that you hate most.
Yes, I do care very much about the issues you raise. But the point of the report was to show the connections in the anti-Muslim network and it did a pretty effective job of doing that. Is it really the case that Spencer (or any of the rest of this crew) is contributing in any meaningful way to reducing the very real and very negative impacts that Islam has around the world? I don’t think so. If they really were expressing some interest in addressing the issues you raise, I could support that. But all they are doing is stoking fears.
What do state “anti-Sharia” laws do to address genital mutilation? What does protesting the construction of a mosque in Tennessee have to do with giving women in Sudan the franchise? Sorry but I see the types of comments in this thread as adding nothing of value, just giving people an outlet for the expression of hatred.
ps I don’t think I used the terms “Islamaphobe” or “racist” in my post.
Ya’ really do have to love the All-Americanism in this post i.e. regardless of all the spittle-and-frothing invective in this blog David Reaboi still found the time to spruik his book “Shariah: The Threat to America”
Twice, in fact….
Got something against All-Americanism? Why don’t you and Timmy can go play “Brokeback Mountain” over in Somalia.
Unmentioned everywhere, and avoided apparently at all costs in all of the liberal media’s coverage of our continuing Islamist penetration problems is the fact that the liberal media simply doesn’t want to “offend” or “hurt the feelings” of our Islamist enemies in the misguided application some spirit of ecumenism, or, not treading upon the toes of a “minority” lest they foster some shrieking charges of “prejudice” or “racism” from the likes of the C.A.I.R or the A.C.L.U.
This dangerous application of political correctness would’ve been absolutely unthinkable on 08 December, 1941, or during the London Blitz of 1940, or during the Bataan Death March, or during the Rape of Nanking, or the siege of Leningrad.
To those of these hippie influenced generations reading these “new words” plucked from Geography and History here, doubtless for the very first time, I suggest looking them up on your nifty little electronic gidget-gadget and literaly “thumb’ your away through some neglected History……”History”…gasp!…that dull stuff out of…gasp!…oh, man!…actual!books!
Try it….I dare you.
Compare, and wake up!.
I’ll go away after pasting this out of the Wisdom of my new friend Dr Google:
…”In Norse mythology, a troll is a generally negative synonym for jötunn. Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls became beings in their own right. In modern times trolls are depicted in a variety of media.
In Norse mythology, troll, like thurs is a term applied to jötnar. In Old Norse sources, trolls are said to dwell in isolated mountains, rocks, and caves, sometimes live together (usually as father-and-daughter or mother-and-son), and are rarely described as helpful or friendly.”
My #18 is not supposed to be here.
Finger trouble.
The affinity between the Left and Islam is really pretty easy to understand — they have so much in common. Simply put, the two groups share a culture of entitlement and a conviction of their own innate superiority, on the one hand, and of right of dominion on the other. In addition, both cohorts are deeply dogmatic, holding in profound contempt empirical fact and the exercise of debate. Why bother? They already know the truth. Tactical intimidation, justification for lying; the list goes on…
The pinnacle of achievement for the Left is today’s EU, which operates more like a caliphate than a democratic institution.
The affinity between blacks and Muslims, though, is harder to probe. Ignorance of history and/or blind loyalty to the Left is the best I can come up with.
Islam was the founder of the slave-trade that ultimately brought black Africans to Europe and the Americas. It continues today in Africa. Seizing blacks was easy enough because they were near at hand. But the trade spread farther afield and went upscale in price.
During the occupation of Spain Muslims paid Vikings to fetch them women for concubines. Slavic women were preferred (hence the name “slave”). Since the Vikings were already busy raiding throughout Europe, delivering white slaves became an easy and profitable adjunct.
Though not on the topic-in-chief, it is worth noting that Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity since early days. From the slaughter of millions in India to repeated attempts (nearly successful in 1683) to conquer all of Europe, it has, with remarkable consistency up to the present, shown itself a violent and determined political force.
I read the report.How interesting that no mention was made of Anwar Al Awlaki.He is now on the kill list of the CIA.He was involved with the 911 perps as well as the Dr.at the base who shot his fellow workers.He was also eating lunch at the Pentagon.Was he also part of the 15 Muslims that met with Bush at the September 26,2001 meeting in the White House ?I truly think that there are Muslim Brotherhood agents working in the White House,Congress,and all the federal Departments.Anwar Al Awlaki proves that terrorrists invaded our government at least once.Will we find out too late that it can happen again?
Not enough, if anything at all, is reported about our Department of Injustice under Eric Holder refusing to investigate 264 individuals and organizations named by federal judge Jorge Solis as “un indicted co-conapirators” in the Holy Land Foundation terror trial. If they made the list it was due to Judge Solis having heard wiretap evidence or sworn testimony from FBI agents that links the named entity to HAMAS.
Obama has invited the President of one of the named organizations, Mohammed Magid of ISNA, to the State Department to listen to Obama’s “Borders Speech.” It is also being investigated (via FOIA) whether Magid’s name was scrubbed from the official guest list for the Iftar dinner last month at the White House. Do you want to see how low a Chicago-trained ambulance chaser will stoop for Saudi campaign contributions? You ain’t seen nothing yet!
