The Media’s Double Standard for Muslims
Yet while CAIR’s “Summer Night for Civil Rights” is certain to feature complaints about the chimeras of “Islamophobia” and denial of Muslims’ civil rights, it will almost certainly say nothing about Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who awaits execution in the Islamic Republic of Iran for the crime of converting from Islam to Christianity. Muslim spokesmen such as Harris Zafar, Mustafa Akyol, Salam al-Marayati, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz insist that Islam doesn’t punish apostasy with death – and yet Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, said, “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). And all the schools of Islamic law still teach that death is the proper penalty for apostates. Nadarkhani and other apostates from Islam suffer from this death sentence all over the Islamic world, even as these smooth Muslim spokesmen in the West reassure their credulous non-Muslim media sycophants that only “Islamophobes” think that Islam mandates death for apostasy.
Such spokesmen are never challenged in the media. They’re never asked uncomfortable questions. Hamas-linked CAIR’s hypocrisy is never exposed. It seems that the mainstream media simply has an unspoken lower standard for Muslim groups, and does not hold them to the standards of consistency and accuracy to which everyone else is held. It’s richly ironic in light of their multicultural protestations, but it is hard to escape the conclusion that in covering Islam and Muslims, the mainstream media is as paternalistic and condescending as any old colonial occupier ever was.
To stand for the rights of apostates from Islam, Pamela Geller and I, along with Nonie Darwish of Former Muslims United and prominent ex-Muslims including Ibn Warraq and Wafa Sultan, are presenting a “Summer Night for Human Rights” in honor of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, just down the block from the CAIR victimhood event on the same night (register to attend — it’s free — by writing to pamelageller@gmail.com). If the media reports on our event at all, it will parrot talking points devised and propagated by CAIR and its allies, presenting our event as “Islamophobic,” “hateful,” and “bigoted.”
Youcef Nadarkhani, languishing in a prison cell in Tehran, would think otherwise. And so would all the other apostates from Islam who live in fear throughout the world. The media’s double standard for Muslims and Islam must end. Too many lives depend on it.
Excuse me, CAIR are 100% correct in saying that Muslims are disproportionally the victims of hates crimes. If you consider their numbers they should theoretically be victimized far more often.
Yes, but also left out of that statement is that it’s other muslims that are hating on them.
Thank you for pointing this fact out.
Liberals are all too happy to leave it out.
Yep…Sunni vs. Shia vs. various other sects; tribe vs. tribe; Arab vs. Berber vs. Sub-Saharan; Albanian vs. Slavic Muslims; the list goes on and on and on…
All of the named groups have a common denominator (or two) they ALL hate us non muslims and all of them love our infidel women and toys.
CAIR is happy to mention one point but neglect the other.
1 Muslim’s are disproportianately the victims of hate crimes.
2 Muslims disproportionaly commit those same hate crimes.
And lastly, when it involves Hate Crimes that include Killing instead of mild things like discrimination, NO ONE comes close to number of crimes than the followers of Mohamed. And most importantly, Muslim perpetrators have more support in carrying out such hate crimes from the governments they create.
If the term “hate-crime” designates the willful conisderation, or motivation by race or religion,they’re guilty, but the Muslims get away with calling it by the pathetic name of “honor killings” –to classify this barbaric cult as a “religion” is a sacrilege.
No, cair is 100% wrong. It’s Jews who are by far the victims of hate crimes. At any rate, the disgruntled Jew/Christian-hating Mohammedans in America can return to their Islamic cesspools, where they belong. Any Western country importing Mohammedans is asking for future cultural suicide. Which is what’s happening right now in France, UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Germany and other European countries over-run with the over-breeding polygamous Islamic barbarians.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner!
Gentlemen, you have missed the sly wording of Smboy. his point is that Muslims are in fact not victimized much at all(!) His point is that given the very low number of Muslims in the US — their actual percentage, that all in all, they should be in fact victims of “hate crimes” far more. He is making the point that they are rarely victimized — yet they cry and scream louder than anyone else.
Read his sentence carefully.
From the land of sand, a violent, misogynistic religion. A cancer, in my opinion. Name one country (mooslim…) where any sane person would want to live. Name one area in the US, any state where importing mooslims has improved quality of life. We’re preoccupied with a number of different issues these days. Most surrounding our idiot pres and what he is up to. Meanwhile, the problem on the horizon, here and in Europe, are mooslims. What a religion. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. AND, killing yourself and a bunch of infidels and you are rewarded, in heaven, with sex. Sick.
Excuse me, CAIR are 100% correct in saying that Muslims are disproportionally the victims of hates crimes.
Any evidence of that? Tell me you didn’t count the scandal where several Holy Ko-Rans were burnt. After CAIR went national on that, a Moslem admitted that he burned them cuz he didn’t know how to dispose of all the Ko-Rans he had, and he was running out of room. The news entertainers immediately dropped that dramatic story.
There’s plenty to suggest the opposite is true. And that’s even without counting in the true measure of Moslem hate: the pervasive threat to Infidels, living in their own countries, mainly Judeo-Christian countries. The atmospherics of the hate, threat and aggression Moslems always project everywhere they migrate is enormous.
But you’re rat on with the Moslem-as-victim thing: at the very beginning, way back in the early 600s, the Holy Prophet Mohammed inveighed to his Companions that the then fledgling religion was being victimized by the pagans then dominant in western Arabia.
***
Oh, and the basic reason Islam is so politically successful is the false status it holds as a religion. It is a belief system that also incorporates government and military, not in a system of layers where the average Moslem is detached from Islam’s other two components, its two most key components: the Sharia and Jihad; the two are baked into the scriptures and the modern system throughout.
For example, it would be unfair to say that since 9/11 Moslem-”Americans” have gone from one political victory to the next cuz we Infidels here are walking on eggshells for them. What we’re doing is tiptoeing on eggshells for them.
Read the rest of the post more carefully:
” If you consider their numbers they should theoretically be victimized far more often.”
There are about twice as many Moslems as Jews in the US, therefore…?
Just for fun: Moslems claim Jews run everything, globally. Considering Moslems out number Jews by many times (10x? 100x?), that is an admission that Islam only attracts the inherently inferior, isn’t it?
His point was that they are UNDER REPRESENTED in the count of “hate crime” victims.
I have come to view Islam as a mass psychopathy, because I can’t think of anything that Islam has given the world except a big pile of dead bodies.
President Bush called Islam a “religion of peace”, and many of us believed him because he was the President and he went to Harvard and Yale and he had the “best and brightest” to keep him informed. He has never been called to task on that lie by the big propaganda cartels. The propaganda cartels propagate that lie.
Compare the works of Shakespeare to the Koran. Which is more divine? Which is more humane? Of course Shakespeare wins in both categories.
Civilized men should not suffer Islam. Islam is an enemy of the Constitution. It should be outlawed.
Maybe you should reread your Shakespeare, you just might find he was just as anti Semitic as the Muslims,if not more.
Is Shakespeare more “anti-Semetic”?
Shylock in Venice v.
Shylock in the “Palestinian Territories”
Compare and contrast.
In Venice, Shylock looses assets and his daughter marries a Christian.
In the “Palestinian Territories” Shylock is murdered after watching his daughter being raped and murdered.
QED
Shylock was a symbol for the mercenary, greedy anti-catholic Protestants who had stolen and divided up Church property and sacred objects that had been melted down into usable precious metals for their own enrichment. Shakespeare & and most of his family were ardent Catholics. The native A mericans have nothing on the robbery and persecution the Catholics endured for over two centuries in England. Read some excellent recent histories of Shakespeare and forget the distorted bios from earlier centuries where English historians went to extreme lengths to destroy and subvert evidence of his faith. All his plays were written in code to protect his plays from being suppressed by the secret police…Elizabeth was nothing like that typical vulgar Hollywood lie”Elizabeth” or that hideous travesty “Shakespeare in Love”.
“Shylock the greedy Jew” was a symbol of the Catholic and Protestant’s own stupid mistakes, wherein they had forbidden each other from loaning (selling) money to each other when they needed it.
This left ONLY the Jews with a charter right to do so, and so (not surprisingly) the Jews then ended up owning everything, since their Catholic and Protestant competition had slit their own throats before the contest had even begun.
It was an exercise in pure victim-blaming, to cover up for their own stupidity.
Some say the real hero of Merchant of Venice is Shylock’s daughter, Jessica. How’s that for antisemitism?
I have read Shakespeare. I don’t consider him an anti-semite, despite his character Shylock in the Merchant Of Venice or his recipe for the witches caldron in Macbeth that called for “liver of blaspheming Jew’.
As I recall Shylock was not killed although his crime was punishable by death, he wasn’t sent to prison although he could have been, and he had one of the best lines “If you prick me, do I not bleed?”.
“…he wasn’t sent to prison although he could have been…”
Yes, which reflected, and propagated, the Christian European malicious racist concept of Jewish people being guilty of evil and of getting away with committing crimes.
“If you prick me, do I not bleed?”:
A line said by a character in a play who is cast, in the play, by the author of the play, as being unsympathetic and hateful and vindictive and criminal; A line whose expression by that character is, therein, inherently meant to be perceived as being hypocritical and whining and comical; A line said by a character who is cast, in the play, as being Jewish
classic Christian European (and particularly English) vicious anti-Jewish racism
Re: “…he wasn’t sent to prison although he could have been…”
…and, which expressed the Christian European ego-worshipping ego-protecting (and, as part of that, projective resentment and hate toward Jewish people) concept of the largesse, noble, beneficent, superior nature of Christian European people…
I wrote my previous comments in response to comments which refer to an anti-Jewish racist play as being not anti-Jewish. I did so because I felt anger as a result of reading those comments. I felt anger because of reading those comments because of the situation that Israel and the Jewish people are in at this time, and because of the situation that Jewish people have been in in Christian European societies for over one thousand years, and because of the current Western collusion with the contemporary Islamic supremacist political movement. Therefore I wrote those comments in anger. I wrote those comments while feeling anger.
However, I realize that it was wrong of me to express anger. I realize that it was wrong of me to write those comments in anger. I realize that it was wrong of me to write those comments while feeling anger. I realize that it was wrong of me to write those comments. I apologize for expressing anger. I apologize for writing those comments in anger. I apologize for writing those comments.
Actually, the anti-Usury laws Shylock was guilty of breaking were originally ancient and sacred JEWISH Laws, not some “racist” European ones!
Funny how that Old Tanakh starts by saying: “Usury is bad. Never do it!” Then it gets corrupted to: “OK Usury is still bad, so only do it to strangers; don’t do it to family and friends!” A bit further on, it’s further changed to: “Usury is still sorta mostly bad, but you can do it to strangers and to friends, just don’t do it to your own family!” And then (of course) finally: “Usury is OK to do to everyone, everywhere, and all the time, too! Whee!”
Those pesky yet moral Euros stuck with the original commandments against it for as long as they could, but then (having banned themselves from selling money to each other when they needed it) they went along with the Jews’ own creed of self-absolving nonsense, and gave in to the Jews’ own demands for a charter right to sell money as part of THEIR “freedom of religion!”
Which of course ended up with the Jews owning everything (because that’s where usury always leads, since “interest” IS “inflation”) and of course this brought the usual sense of “we’ve been tricked!” outrage and jealous retaliation down upon them. It took two to tango back then, too. Just FYI.
Who cares, dimwit?
The post is about the press’ double standards for muslims not jewish obsessive navel-gazing.
“Civilized men should not suffer Islam. Islam is an enemy of the Constitution. It should be outlawed.”
Excellent statement. Any religion that calls for killing and subduing 99% of Americans (Christians, Jews, and Pagans-Quran Sura 9-5, 9-29), should have no protection as a religion under the Constitution…And I’ll throw in 5-51, “make not friends with Christians and Jews”.
Good to see Robert Spencer on PJTV. I credit at least 90% of my knowledge on Islam to Robert…and the unholy Quran.
I like to call it an “ideology,” as in “any totalitarian ideology that…”
He who controls the language controls the debate. And it helps keep radical atheists from changing the topic to Christianity, when we are talking about a political system (faith component or not).
Don’t take your informatio and knowledge from just that one source. Be more open minded!
To the thread,
Why are we discussing Shakespeare?
The barbarians are murdering kafirs, apostates, our soldiers, their neighbors, and kidnapping, raping, and buying and selling women and children – TONIGHT – as we write this.
We’re not discussing some ne’er do well loner in Lahore writing a play five hundred years ago and incorporating one villainous crusader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s no comparison between Islam and Shakespeare
- it’s like comparing YOUR GRANDFATHER’S FIRST PARKING TICKET to the Syrian Civil War !!!!
The comparison was Shakespeare to the Koran. And since Shakespeare is so much more interesting than the Koran, and Islam, it easy to go on a tangent. There are many in the English speaking world who are ignorant of Shakespeare and can’t converse about it. I’m guessing that would be some of the commenters here.
Maybe they are all posting on pro-Shakespeare columns right now instead of anti-jihad columns.
Break’s over – shouldn’t you be busy reading up on your next Dallas script?
The mainstream media holds Muslims to a far lower standard because Muslims tend to blow people up or murder individuals who don’t see things their way. It’s a simple as that. That’s why the Hollywood, the media, and liberals say anything the want to about Christians and feel totally comfortable insulting or mocking Christianity any chance they get, from TV shows to “artists” making “political statements.” Catholics, in particular, are favorite targets of the far-left mass media and have been for decades.
But not the Muslims. Even when a silly show like South Park made fun of Islam, it’s creators and the network the show was on was bombarded with death threats. And let’s not even talk about the cartoons of Mohammed in the European newspapers. We saw how well Muslims in Europe reacted to that. Face it, Muslims have succeeded in censoring our media for the simple fact that they always back up their threats with actual violence. And unless we stand up to this sort of fascistic behavior, we’ve lost the right to free speech, and I’m not about to concede that to a bunch of thugs.
Sixty Minutes did a profile of the South Park gang on last night’s broadcast. But in asking Stone and Parker if there were any lines they won’t cross (they said no), they were not asked to “tell us about the Mohammed in a bear costume episode”. THEY were willing to cross the line, but the network said no.
That perhaps sets them apart from the “Simpsons” gang, which will spoof and parody anything and everything – except Islam. And they admit they stay away from it out of fear. In the one episode that dared broach the subject, they wussed out completely. A Muslim family moves into the neighborhood, and Homer stumbles on explosives stored in the garage. He saw something, and said something. In the end (spoiler alert), it turns out Homer was just a foolish Islamophobe, because the Muslim father was … a demolitions engineer!
Except demolitions engineers no more store explosives in their garages than Homer stores fissile material in his.
Love the snarc inherent in “…Homer was just a foolish Islamophobe because the Muslim father was …. a demolitions engineer.”
Yes, indeed, that’s what they do, in more ways than one!
Were the Simpsons creators aware of the “double entendre”, ya think ?!
The BBC has for the most part admitted they give Islam a free pass because they are scared of reprisals.
Our networks won’t admit that yet, but they will some day.
Exactly. The liberal media are treasonous cowards: they KNOW islam is the biggest threat out there, which is WHY they are always getting behind it and out in front to “defend” it all the time!
They assume that “If I defend the bully, then that bully’s threat will be immediately OVER – for ME, at least! (And if the rest of you are too slow and stupid to see this, then it’s your funeral, suckers)!”
Thus they sacrifice our lives (and the lives and futures of their own children, too) to only save their own worthless skins now.
Because let’s face it – right now, ONLY THE MOSLEM ENEMY controls both the carrot (corporate oil-money bribes) and the stick (threat of having one’s own family beheaded by the Jihad) binary of behavioural conditioning.
Everything is made of oil – so it’s a “need” (and, being free in the ground and under pressure, it even extracts itself, so it’s a very cheap to own need, too – with any mark-up being pure profits)! And so all the sales-masters in the oil companies and banksters CAN easily afford to own all their pet sales-puppets (‘politicians’) in “our governments,” and all the other corporations, which own all these media presstitutes, too!
Which is why all this Civilization-destroying CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE is allowed and even encouraged to flourish! Because we are all ruled by short-sighted and only self-interested salesmen, by greedy, self-serving traders who always have, still do, and always will sell the all rest of us out by permanently selling our countries off to our enemies, for only their own temporary gains!

Here is what imam Muzammil Siddiqi, head of the Islamic center of Orange County, told me personally recently on the topic of apostasy and the death penalty.
http://garyfouse.blogspot.com/2012/04/muzammil-siddiqi-and-freedom-pledge.html
Here’s the deal with that Imam:
His opinion doesn’t represent the teaching of the Qur’an, the early Muslims, Muhammad or Mainstream Muslim scholarship for the past 1400 years. His opinion is pretty much null.
You say Saddiqi’s opinion “doesn’t represent the teaching of the Qur’an, the early Muslims, Muhammad or Mainstream Muslim scholarship for the past 1400 years. His opinion is pretty much null….”
Siddiqi did not or would not sign Nonie Darwish’s “letter supporting freedom from harm to those who had left Islam since apostasy is punishable by death.” He said some Muslims support death for apostasy; that he views criticism of Islam as treason which seems to mean he supports death for “treason” or criticism of Islam. How is this point of view at odds with what the prophet of Islam taught and what is written in the Qur’an and the Hadith?
Taquiyya. It wouldn’t matter what he said, because they all lie to infidels.
And each other.
Dr. Spencer, who in other venues (including his own Web sites) is usually very reliable with reference citations, today cites only a single, recent, unquoted (in the MLM) quote from the belly of the Islamic beast and a couple of uncovered (in the MLM) circumstances involving that Islamic beast. (Let us also be clear, here: Nobody Important, when citing “the Islamic beast,” is not referring to liberal Islam, which currently predominates most of the West. “The Islamic beast” refers to literal, Qur’-anic Islam as believed and practiced by the majority of Muslims in Islam-controlled countries, who seek to make the entire world the footstool of their false god Allah). Why Dr. Spencer doesn’t even cite his own Web sites (FrontPage Magazine, Jihad Watch, et al) as sources for additional, well-referenced information on the assertions he makes today (primarily involving CAIR) is a mystery to Nobody Important (though he does at least offer an email address to Pam Geller’s office, whose Web site – Atlas Shrugs – is also exceptionally well-referenced on this topic).
Having now cited several Web sites for readers to visit in search of additional references on Dr. Spencer’s topic today (i.e. the MLM’s incessant refusal to cover the Islamic beast as it actually exists), Nobody Important would be remiss if he didn’t also cite Another Slow News Day’s page devoted to that very topic.
http://anotherslownewsday.wordpress.com/mainstream-media-islam/
Several hundred additional references exposing the Islamic beast for what it is (including several dozen links to meticulously well-referenced articles on Dr. Spencer’s and Ms. Geller’s respective Web sites) are accessible from the various sub-branches of ASND’s Religion / Islam menu tree.
As long as you’re citing references, allow me to add two words — a person who I think is the most careful critical Western writer on Islam today:
Daniel Pipes.
Mr. Spencer says that the lower expectations for Muslims mean ‘it is hard to escape the conclusion that in covering Islam and Muslims, the mainstream media is as paternalistic and condescending as any old colonial occupier ever was.’
Far from being paternalistic and condescending, the media are thoroughly dhimmified. They are afraid of confrontation with the Islamic world. They are sowing the seeds of their own destruction. However paternalistic they may have been, colonial occupiers also knew how to keep miscreants in line. Many ruled with an iron fist. Today’s media isn’t in their league.
Question-have you done any research into this Gulen movement out of Turkey?
It appears to me that it is being used to taint legitimate charter schools that are high performing. All of a sudden media outlets that won’t normally say anything bad about Islam even when the case is clear see a Gulen conspiracy behind all these schools that are just trying to teach well. It looks like one link to Turkey is all it takes for the allegations to come gushing.
Somehow it’s politically incorrect to state anything bad about Islam unless you want to take the charter away and then Gulen is practically an AQ conspiracy and it’s OK to state that?
Mr. Spencer has on occasion mentioned Fethullah Gulen. He isn’t just relative to Turkey though. His writings are influential throughout the world.
Thanks Jacob.
It makes an effective weapon because it plays to xenophobia but it is being used by people who will not otherwise criticize on ethnic grounds. Who support using education as a political weapon instead of a means of transmitting the accumulated wisdom of the ages as much as possible.
Some of the schools seem stunned on where the accusations come from. It’s like “Do you beat your wife?” Hard to disprove once alleged.
With unrestricted and excessive Muslim immigration to the West in the past 10-15 years, new dangers have been brought on our shoulders, especially for women and children. Rape statistics in Europe demonstrate that Muslims, even in small numbers, dominate an entire nations rape cases.
Anywhere Muslims immigrate, conflict follows. When tolerant and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, so begins the process of islamization. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their enclaves) under sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal is to establish sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced.
100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word.
Of course, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most devout Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing more secular Muslims.
When a “disturbance” happens on a plane resulting in emergency landing you can count on the name not being released if the person is muslim. In nearly all other cases the name is released immediately. It’s just one more way the media dhimmies the truth.
So great to see Robert Spencer’s illuminating work here at PJMedia!!!!!!!
Muslims share a common trait with Blacks , Homosexuals, Lesbians, LBGTs, FemiNazis and Left Wing moonbats and that is mind bending HYPOCRISY.
With the exception of Blacks(however you define such) there is another trat shared: a demand to be allowed to impose their creed on those who don’t believe in it and a claim to indoctrinate our children with theirs. (Of course, if Christians what to give THEIR kids a fully-rounded Christian education, especially one based closely on the Bible, that is howled down by the secular humanist mob as “indoctrination”, which must be suppressed ASAP.)
Blacks DO have a just complaint in that they WERE torn from their homeland, forced to slave in the fields, and barely recognised as humans back in 1778. It is a tribute to the evangekical revival some 250 years ago that slavery was abolished in British colonies in 1833. Indeed, in 1978 I saw a tribute paid to the influence of such missionaries in the official school history book used in Guyana—whose Prime Minster was a Marxist!
There is no such “exception” – it was the MOSLEM ARABS IN AFRICA who had ENSLAVED ALL THE BLACKS THERE, only some of whom they had then later RE-sold to ‘Whitey,’ too!
And Islam’s “Convert Or Die!” creed is the exact opposite of “Live And Let Live!”
;-(
Those are all victimology-selling might-makes-group-rights totalitarian CONFORMISTS!
This is wonderful…. the only detail the Imam doesn’t mention, and that I would be extremely interested in filming, is that after the devil sticks his finger up the baby’s ass he continues sticking all his other fingers in unbelievers’ asses, and once done, this Imam and his gang gather around the devil to suck and lick the fingers to the bone.
Mr. Yasser Habib forgets to mention that this procedure, the devil inserting his finger… etc. is next to heaven for the muslims since they then gather around to suck and lick the devil’s fingers to the bone. There’s no other tastier dish for them than whatever comes out sticking to the devil’s finger. That is also what they uniquely deserve.
If a word had to be coined to describe the feelings that most Americans have toward these true believers and their faith and their cultures, it would be Islamaversion… not Islamophobia
aversion
Noun:
A strong dislike or disinclination: “an aversion to exercise”.
Someone or something that arouses such feelings.
This is not a feeling most Americans want, but it is one that has been reinforced too often. We still have our friends and neighbors and acquaintances from the Middle East and we consciously separate them in our minds from the groups and forces who have attacked us. We know them. But we’re not sure if we can ever know or want to know those others. There will have to be a lot of reconciling for that… and that won’t happen as long as we remain “The Great Satan.”
http://hallofrecord.blogspot.com/2012/02/islamaversion-not-islamophobia.html
Civilized Western Country governments and leaders should wake up and realize that Israel is the only barrier/obstacle between them and Nazislam! Instead of bearing against, they should support and kick out all thos arabs from their countries before it really becomes too late. Look at England, in some regions and sections there are signs that say: “This area is Muslim, prohibited and out-of-bounds to foreigners” meaning that the British are “foreigners” in their own country! Cute !!!!!!
That’s true – after all, the nazis were really only ‘White’ moslems!
S.Levy….
I can say that PM Harper of Canada is changing things for Islamics in Canada. He knows and understands the threat of Islam…probably because he did have a fatwa on his head! Google: Toronto 18
With Harper in for the next three years we are sure to see some more changes which will hamper the Islamamentians from fulfilling their cult agenda!
I don’t know how much that will matter after Salesman Harper sells the country off to China and/or to the Stalinist command-economy of the SPP…
nice to see you here at PJMedia- have long followed your work, and Pamela’s site was one of the first ones I found while researching Islam after 9-11. I was so happy to see others had gone where I was going and that I was not alone in seeing reality.
I get all your posts on twitter and retweet them on autopilot to many others.
Once upon a time I believed the myth GWB and others upheld- the “peace” charade put on by Mohammedeans and the “one of three abrahamic faiths all the same god nonsense” peddled by MSM and multicultis.
My eyes saw the truth of it all and I have not ever been the same.
Sometimes I wish I did not know what I know but it is way too late, and it saddens me to know instead of calling out ISLAM – my fellow Americans preferred to throw stones at me (and you and others) as messenger(s). When they elected Obama a pro Muslim Islam lover connected by family to Muslims I knew life as we know itin USA would never be the same- and I know it willnot be long for the oldest of old hatreds to become popular again- Springtime for Hitler and Muslim B……………….
As usual, Mr. Spencer is right on. The ratio of Jews to muslims in the world is roughly 1:100 or more than 1.5 billion Muslims to fewer than 15 million Jews. If Jews had not been slaughtered by Muslims and others there would br 200 million of them today, proportionally the same as their numbers during the period of the Roman Empire. muslims have been perpetrating massacres of Jews for fourteen centuries. muslims are mass murderers who whine if anyone insults their pedophiliac deat cult.
Marty, Genesis or Exodus says that Jacob’s clan of 70 people went to over 3 million in 400 plus years in Egypt. That’s a 40,000 plus multiplication in 400 plus years…and I checked the math and it’s possible ant about a 3.3 birth rate. That would put today’s Jewish population higher than your 200 million. All twelve of Jesus apostles plus the large group that followed Him became Christians, so I would expect that the decendents of those Christianized Jews are no longer considered Jews. Many are Christians and some may even be Muslims today.
Tracing Abrahamic descent is surely pointless. The cultural melange that is the Middle East has evolved over millenia merely as a hotpot of demography. Ethiopians are descendants of Solomon? Jews are just Temple Arabs? As energy markets migrate, however, the Middle East will become less relevant to world politics, and the strange dynamics that made Israelis and Saudis the oddest of bedfellows will shift once again.
Last Christmas,near Dallas, a family was murdered in an early morning massacre by a person disguised in a Santa suit. “Santa” cold bloodedly shot each family member execution style as they exchanged gifts. Television news reported this as “The Texas Santa Claus Murders”. Being a native Texan who was 8 years old when Kennedy was assassinated, I confess to being sensitive to reporters that tend to make all Texans to be drunken, wild gunslingers. When further reports revealed the rest of the story, I didn’t hold my breath waiting for the “wild Texan” slant to be replaced with “disgruntled Muslim father murders daughters in honor killing” slant. This story just went away but not until after the grief stricken uncle lectured Americcans for their crazy gun laws! Git a rope!
Of course, “Santa” did indeed turn out to be a murderous moslem!
It is easy to react emotionally, but truth should be considered.
Sura 9 of the Koran is very clear. Muslims may lie, break contracts with infidels, and kill all infidels, including Jews and Christians.
According to the Islamic law, the last Sura of the Koran abrogates any earlier chapters that may have contradictions. Sura 9 is recognized as the last Sura written. Therefore the tolerance, fairness, and civilized behavior expressed in verses written at Mecca, when Mohammad had little power, few followers, and little money are abrogated in Sura 9 written at Medina when Mohammad had much power, many followers, and a lot of money.
Forgiveness of lies and deceit are the reward for present day Muslims to voice their “facts” as expert witnesses used daily by the media to mislead Americans too lazy to try to understand the Koran. You can download free versions (Commentaries, not translations) of the Koran and learn much at http://www.gutenberg.org.
… when Mohammad had little power, few followers, and little money are abrogated in Sura 9 written at Medina when Mohammad had much power, many followers, and a lot of money.
The breakthrough with Mohammed’s popularity was when they started raiding, murdering, raping and slave taking, especially the little girls and boys sold off as sex slaves. At first the Companions were a little concerned about pedophilia, but once the meat started rolling in everybody joined the party. Or at least the men.
This is why the revered Ayatollah Khomeini after he took control of Persia issued a fatwa whereby the street legal age was lowered from 16 to 9. Just like the Holy Prophet (as the also revered Tim Russert used to call him).
Don’t illude yourselves… as long as government workers, the midia, politicians accept bribes, graft, gifts, the Nazislam arab murderers shall prevail. At least the people of the U.S.A. should take into account all the wars and lives lost so as to achieve and keep freedom, liberty, the right to develop and progress. What do the arabs accomplish but death, destruction, murder, rape; all these backed by a rag called “Al Quran” which is plagiarized from the Bible and the Old Testament and given a twist to accommodate a lunatic’s drug-vapor induced delusions. Wake up true Americans, defend your country and beliefs!
Jacob,
You can say that Siddiqi’s opinion doesn’t count, but he is the past pres of the Islamic Society of North America. He is the head of the Fiqh Council. He has every degree you can mention from universities in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Ivy League, you name it. Siddiqi is one of the most if not the most influential imam in the US. Many (erroneously consider him a bridge-builder. He is the toast of the interfaith crowd. Last year, he got an award from the (politically-correct) Orange County Human Relations Commission (which we protested). He has many troubling associations. Say what you will, but don’t tell me Siddiqi’s opinions don’t count. This is no marginal figure.
“It seems that the mainstream media simply has an unspoken lower standard for Muslim groups, and does not hold them to the standards of consistency and accuracy to which everyone else is held.”
I believe the main reason mainstream media does not tell the truth about Islam, is because mainstream media hates God, the Bible, Judaism and Christianity. The MSM much prefer the merciless god of Islam. In not reporting the constant cruel war and mass murders Muslims wage against non-Muslims in many countries, the MSM are DELIBERATELY hiding the truth. The MSM don’t want non-Muslims to know what a terrible threat to our freedom and safety Islam poses. What a crime against humanity!
why do prestigious institutions like Harvard ,USA accept donations from saudi arabia which forces them to ignore all extemist activities carried out in the name of religious senstivity.
In answer to your question…
Because money talks louder than any facts or common sense ever could!…Unfortunately! Some people and Institutions have a barcode tattooed on their backsides and can be bought.
Robert’s right as usual (and I’m only surprised he felt the need to quote Bukhari concerning their “Death To Apostates” meme, since it’s in Sura 4:89 itself) – Liberals are racists – they always assume that ONLY White, Western people (including, of course, the Jews in Israel,) are INTELLIGENT enough to be judged guilty of being truly evil, while all their pet “People Of Colour” (including, of course, the “swarthy palestinians,”) just can’t help being violent animals, the poor oppressed little dears, so they’ll always indulge their crimes, much as one ignores the new puppy as it pees on the rugs.
“Multiculturalism” IS “Racism,” too!
For instance, ALL the so-called islamic countries are at the exact BOTTOM of all the developmental indexes.
So, there’s only two possible explanations for this: it’s either nurture (‘culture’), or nature (genetics/’race’).
Yet the shallow liberals prefer to pretend that all indoctrinating cultures are equal, and so they all have the exact same effects on their respective populaces. Which leaves only race.
Then they further clinch their own prejudices, by blaming only the White, Western folks for “propping up” all the non-White genocidal dictators in the world (as if only White Westerners were INTELLIGENT enough to manipulate the poor innocent but mentally inferior savages) and as if, without Whites, there would be no non-White dictatorial madmen in the world.
But history and current events prove that all races ARE the same, and so of course the vast majority of dictatorial madmen in the world have been non-Whites (Muhammad, Ghenghis Khan, Attilla, Mao, Pol Pot, Taylor and Kony, Bobby Mugabe) – because their races outnumber Whites in exact proportion to their respective numbers of dictators, which (in all reality, and despite the liberals racism,) only leaves nurture or “culture” to explain islam’s failures.
And it’s quite simple, really: our “Western culture” is based on Confucius’ (wholly Eastern,) Chinese morality, on the Golden Rule of Law (basically: Do Not Attack First! and on “THOU SHALT NOT KILL!”) and so we enjoy trust, progress and civilization.
Islam, however, is based on the exact opposite – on the immoral, brazen rule of chaos, (basically: “It’s our holy right and duty to always attack all ‘the others’ first!” and on “THOU SHALT KILL!”) and so they suffer from distrust, stagnation, and barbarism.
Concerning the New Jersey Muslim groups suit against the New York Police Department for its surveillance of Muslims in both states – THIS IS THE BIG ONE, FOLKS! I believe the moslems have overplayed their hand this time – challenging City Hall and the police to justify why islam should be considered a CRIME SYNDICATE! It’s a claim they cannot refute, based on only their own, most official declarations and historical examples! Airing this on the public record may be the beginning of the end for islamn’s “protected religion” free ride status at last!
All moslems are criminals because, by their own rules, they must endorse in public every word in the Qur’an.
And the Qur’an tells them that they are so “superior” to all non-moslem humans, that it’s not only their right, but also their holy duty to their god, to extort, enslave, and murder all the non-moslems in the world, simply for the “crime” of not being moslems.
So the Qur’an is a written hate-crime book expressing a permanent death-threat.
And all threats are psychological attacks (aka: coercion, duress, extortion, “terrorism”) and all non-defensive attacks are already classified as crimes.
After all, when you attack the Others first, then, by definition, you are the predatory criminal aggressor, and they are your innocent victims – there’s no two ways about it!
(Attacking second, in defense of one’s self and/or of innocent others, is always OK, and is in fact a mandatory requirement for having any sort of deterring justice in the world at all, ever)!
Here’s islam’s “holy Message from god” as exemplified by the words and deeds of it’s Founder:
“I will save humanity by lying to, robbing, extorting, torturing, burning out of their homes, kidnapping and ransoming, enslaving, raping and murdering everyone who even only verbally disagrees with me – and you can, too!”
-Muhammad-
So obviously, islam is ONLY an ancient, ongoing extortion-racket CRIME-syndicate, and the only “religious” part in it, is where they say:
“God told us to commit these crimes!”
(Capisce?)!
BAN ISLAM – because everything moslems pretend to consider “holy” is already a crime!
;-(
A true delight and blessing to have Mr. Spencer here. He is a courageous warrior for freedom and I thank him.
Robert Spencer is an accredited expert on islam. His legion of devoted readers have learned so much about islam, all of it supported by direct quotes from islamic sources. There is no-one more dedicated to the seemingly insurmountable task of educating the masses about islam. It’s great to see he’s now spreading the word at PJ media. He knows his stuff!
Thank you, Mr. Spencer for your bravery and courage in exposing the huge deception called, “Islam.” Several years ago I attended a lecture given by an Islamic scholar. I was pretty stunned as I realized the *good/godly* tenets were plagerized from Judeo-Christianity. The gruesome, violent tenets, well, that is all their own. Ever since that lecture, I have been a huge fan of your books and articles.
Fight the good fight! We all stand with you.
The flotation device under Islam’s longs string of successes stems from its mistaken designation as a religion. This in turn means the Infidel populations cannot be informed of the belief system’s tenets, history, and express intent to destroy all other belief systems to the ultimate disappearance of freedom from the globe.
It amuses (and sickens) me, that the MSM are always digging for “reparations” for Black slavery in the USA, while ignoring the real, historic FACTS: Africa has for long been the object of eastern Islamic domination, control and slavery, under the Arabians, Egyptians, and Sudanese of old.
I’ve always wondered at the left’s insistance that it’s always the White Man’s fault, and that therefore all the guilt and reparations are still THE WHITE MAN’S BURDEN to bear, but then it hit me:
Liberals are racists – they always assume that ONLY White, Western people (including, of course, the Jews in Israel,) are INTELLIGENT enough to be judged guilty of being truly evil, while all their pet “People Of Colour” (including, of course, the “swarthy palestinians,”) just can’t help being violent animals, the poor oppressed little dears, so they’ll always indulge their crimes, much as one ignores the new puppy as it pees on the rugs.
So here’s some FACTS, (wryly coached in the liberal’s own usual victimology-sales terms for them):
When the ancestors of the Germans, French, and British lined their tall ships up along the African coast, the Arab moslems sold them some of their own stocks of Black slaves, from their thousands-of-years-old historic slave markets – for a time, until the cowardly Westerners became relatively quickly ashamed of themselves, and all those White men voted to end what they called the “vile,” entrenched islamic practice world-wide, thus imposing their unwanted cultural values of universal freedom on the helpless slavers.
Without this farce, today’s Black American descendants would still be back in Africa, and still enslaved to some moslem Arabs, inshallah!
Uncle Vladdi
You probably won’t see this, but I want to thank you for contributing your knowledge and insights on this issue. Keep writing.

just passing on a tid bit of insanity
Great article. I suggest a column on “following the money”. Jihadist oil money is so great that Islamic groups have bought off whole segments of the non-profit Left, as well as for-profit corporations such as Fox News (20% Saudi owned). This largesse/investment shapes the message of Western media and attitudes.
So happy to see Robert Spencer and PJ Media together. Thank you Roger and welcome Robert!!!
Look at the middle east a bed of hate one Muslim killing another, they are not the victims of hate crimes they are the perpetrators of hate crimes, they hate each other and the rest of the world. They will tell you they are a religion of peace and if you disagree they will kill you.
Allah is not God because God does not lie, if you read the Koran and believe those verses are from God them it must be true God is a liar.Satanic verses yes that is what they are!! they tell you to kill those who do not think or behave like you. The next world war will be caused by these religious idiots
Mr. Spencer is right. As an Anglican, when I thought a vicar had said such a thing I was horrified. Any Christian leader in a mainstream Christian denomination would be run out of town for saying something like that.
Why are Muslims treated so easily?
Welcome to PJ Media.
Can a Christian practice his faith in a Islamic State? he can try but will most likely be murdered by these peace loving reprobates.
They can build huge ornate temples in America but let a Christian church try to do likewise in Muslim country the outcry will reach hell
Americans should treat them and their religion of hate in exactly the same way they treat peace loving Christians in their depraved Islamic states.
Allah is Satan!
The holiest book of Islam (61% of which is about non-Muslims) draws the sharpest of distinctions between Muslims (the best of people, 3:110) and non-believers (the worst of creatures, 98:6). Praise is lavished on the former while the latter is condemned with scorching generalization. Far from teaching universal love, the Quran incessantly preaches the inferiority of non-Muslims, even comparing them to vile animals and gloating over Allah’s hatred of them and his dark plans for their eternal torture. Naturally, the harsh treatment of non-believers by Muslims is encouraged as well.
The name Allah is derived from the Hebrew Chaldea word Halal which is the NAME OF SATAN in the scriptures in Isaiah 14.12, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (HALAL), son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”
Watched the Emmy’s and thought it’s OK to have a hit “Book of Mormon” and “Jesus Christ Superstar” and ‘A Jew Grows in Brooklyn” but does anyone think we’ll see the Book of Mohammed on the great white way anytime soon? Hahhaha
It’s OK to kick those Christians and Jews and Mormons but don’t you dare slam Muslims.
Who are you talking about?
Broadway and its effete elites, no doubt.
It’s great to hear from you again, Dr. Spencer. I’ve followed you on Jihad Watch since H/A saw fit to do whatever it was that they did without adequate explanation.
I love your work and your scholarship. Please keep up the good work; the world needs you and many more to awaken we the masses to the dangers that are so easily seen and so casually dismissed.
Don’t ever quit fighting the good fight, my friend. You are responsible for informing SO many folks who had no idea of what we’re up against before you put yourself between the crosshairs and informed us no matter the possible danger to yourself and yours.
Courage.
Again, thank you.
I didn’t know Spencer was a doctor. Does he have a clinical practice as well as his anti-Islam screedwriting gig? How impressive!
In reality, hate crimes against Muslims are infrequent. FBI statistics show that anti-Jewish attacks constitute 70% of hate crimes, while anti-Muslim attacks are only 9% of hate crimes.
I don’t have these stats in front of me, but I remember from previous articles I have read that many of these statistical reports are conveniently setup to reduce the impact of anti-Christian hate crimes. I.e. Christianity is the only religion divided into groups such as Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox etc.
That isn’t to say that such hate crimes are significantly comparable to anti-Jewish crimes, but that if you were to lump all anti-Christian hate crimes together instead of dividing them into sub-categories (something not done with any other religion), then the so-called anti-Islamic hate crimes seem even Less impressive.
It’s not complicated. The media supports islam, started shortly after 9/11, the frightened muslims in America bit. Why not? If you hate something, in this case your nation, doesn’t it make sense to share and support a faction with similar hatred.
It doesn’t bode well for Pajamas media to feature Robert Spencer, a man who is featured on the SPLC Hate Watch list, and is cited on the CAP report on Islamophobia.
He is rebutted by the Loon Watch sister site, Spencer Watch here.
http://spencerwatch.com/
Danios of Loon Watch has also exposed Robert Spencer.
I did not know it was a sister site of Spencer Watch? http://www.loonwatch.com
I’ve seen “Loonwatch” and “Spencerwatch” and they are truly looney sites themselves. They cannot refute any of Robert Spencer’s work, they have no facts. You, sirs, embarrass yourselves for even mentioning any reference to these sites. I salute Robert, Pamela, and all the other people sounding the alarm to the threats to freedom in America.
Yes – never having any facts which would ever agree with their perpetual irrationality, the left must always resort to the slanderous evasions known collectively as the critical thinking logical fallacies (ad-hominems, red-herrings, and of course the immoral relativist’s favorite, the tu quoque – i.e: “islam isn’t evil because we all do it too! Whee!”).
Isn’t it funny that people who actually have facts, rarely (if ever) seem to feel the need to indulge in fallacies?
When Spencer says the media have lower expectations for Muslims than any other religious group he’s being too kind. Actually, the media is just scared to death of the Muslims. Any journalist or editor that puts his name to an article that speaks the truth about Islam has to watch his back and his family’s back every day from then on. I gurantee you, Spencer has a lot of security around himself and his. He’s a true hero.
Thank you, Dr. Spencer and “Uncle Vladdi”. (You two should cooperate, often!)
To me, a quote from UV#26, above, sums it up nicely:
“So the Qur’an is a written hate-crime book expressing a permanent death-threat.”
Properly read in chronological (not the written, published) sequence, that’s what it amounts to being. It should be taken seriously.
Good, too, calling out the MSM on their mendacious cowardice!
