Yes, Michael Moore, There Is a Terrorist Threat

Moore's comments in a recent interview with Sean Hannity sound even more foolish in the aftermath of Fort Hood.

What I find fascinating about the endless stream of Muslim terror plotters who populate these islands — that little bunch of guys on monkey bars Michael Moore says are the sum total with whom we need concern ourselves! — is that most are British-born. Phyllis Chesler laments the fact that the brave report by Douglas Murray’s Centre for Social Cohesion about the danger of the extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain has received little attention. Indeed, the amount of airtime devoted to the crimes of Israel far exceeds that about the dangers inside our own shores of ruthless, hateful fifth-columnists who wish to kill and maim their own fellow British citizens. It was reported in September in the Daily Telegraph that the ringleader of the liquid plot, Rashid Rauf, roams free in Britain because a jury determined there was “insufficient evidence” to charge him. As you read this he is planning something new. Nice. Just days after the October 6 Moore-Hannity interview, two men who worked at the Swiss nuclear CERN lab (European Organization for Nuclear Research) were arrested in France and charged with links to al-Qaeda.

Okay, now let’s skip to Thursday night as I write this in London. I had planned to go to bed a few hours ago but am glued to the television; all regular broadcasting has ceased on BBC News and Sky channels to cover the shootings at Fort Hood, evidently committed by a Muslim who worked at the base. However, no sooner had the Texas coverage started than the BBC switched over to Jerusalem to show us evil Jewish settlers tormenting helpless Arabs in a small street! Horrors! Those pesky Jews are picking on Palestinians yet again! Jeremy Bowen, renowned for his barely contained bile when reporting on his pet hates, settlers and Zionists, reported with great despair about the hopeless situation endured by Arabs in “occupied East Jerusalem.”

Well, let me tell you something, Mr. Bowen: Here inside Britain we have a problem. It is exactly the same as the problem Israel has. We have just under two million souls who ascribe to Islam. Most are decent citizens. But a small and powerful number are anti-British, anti-Jewish, and anti-American. They are fifth-columnists, like many Muslims living inside Israel, who are lucky they have the right to flourish in that democracy. Jews cannot live in the huge majority of Muslim countries. The Muslims who live in Britain (they outnumber Anglo-Jews by eight to one) are also fortunate to have jobs, masses of opportunities, grants, and unlimited acreage for mosque after mosque. Jews have lived in Britain for 350 years and their young men do not spend their every waking moment plotting to blow up their fellow Britons. Likewise at Fort Hood the suspect in question had every opportunity afforded him. Yes, some will say he is a carbon copy of Dr. Baruch Goldstein, who in 1994 went nuts after attending the Jewish victims of Hamas; he opened fire on Muslims in the Hebron mosque. The difference is that Baruch Goldstein was a freak. Most Israelis want peace. Jews inside Britain are not causing the British intelligence services to work overtime monitoring their multifaceted plots 365 days a year, 24/7, unlike so many British Muslims.

Phyllis Chesler and Douglas Murray are courageous prophets in their own respective lands and though I regret to have to agree with Nick Griffin of the loathsome British National Party, his contention that all immigration into the UK must cease is looking more and more attractive. Likewise, how the Fort Hood shooter slipped through the net is yet to be determined.

America, wake up. And ignore the idiocy of Michael Moore. His “few hundred guys on monkey bars” are living around the corner.

    Isn’t it about time Michael Moore moved to a different country? He doesn’t seem to like America very much.

  2. 2. roGER

    Isn’t it about time Carol Gould returned to hers? She doesn’t seem to like Britain very much.

  3. 3. Lauren

    Carol Gould has enough cojones to speak up for the Britain you know and love that’s now being destroyed from within. The Euroweenies need more voices like hers.

  4. 4. Marina

    @ roGER:

    The majority of Britons don’t like what their libtards have been doing to their country. Very soon you will feel the same about America. But, unlike Carol Gould AND MICHAEL MOORE, you will have nowhere to move. Congratulations!

  5. 5. tom

    We’ll go broke financially long before ever stamping out terrorism. The idea that you can even rid the world of it is ridiculous. It’s existed in one form or another since man figured out how to walk upright.

  6. 6. Frank

    I love the irony of Michael Moore; making millions in profit for hating on making profit.

    Hey Michael, the fact that you have worn the same stupid cap and sweater combo for 20 years doesn’t change the fact that you’re a multi-millionaire capitalist.

  7. 7. moho

    Yeah, and they sound even more foolish after Orlando. I knew those Cubans were a timebomb!

    Like Michael Moore, Major Hasan also viewed Islamic warriors on jihad as “freedom fighters.” He is a major in the United States Army, a natural born American citizen, but one of those protected ethnic groups. At the taxpayer’s expense, he is a trained psychiatrist and practicing doctor, espousing the radical Islamic line while on the job in the military’s primary health care facility in Washington for five years. None of those politically correct officers dealt with Hasan’s “sudden jihad syndrome” warning signs. When transfered to a real army base in safe middle America, Major Hasan did a martyrdom operation, killing the enemy while Muslim. Of course, Muslims will publicly condemn his treasonous acts while privately praising him for offing the crusaders. Michael Moore is only being consistent, and doubtless he thinks those Pakistani nuclear weapons are in safe hands in the custody of Muslim military officers, and that Iran’s Islamic rulers can be reasonable when they have the bomb too. After all, in Michael Moore’s eyes, bigoted American’s are the cause of Muslim delayed stress syndrome.

    Maybe it is just me, but I thought that in general Americans consider Michal Moore(He doesn’t deserve the el in his name) and his work on the level of the “National Enquirer”. He purposely distorts the truth to “document” his views. I am sure that he justifies his lies for the “higher” cause. The scary thing is that overseas his “documentaries” are considered documentaries rather than what it is– propaganda. When the entrenched powers wanted to control the presidential election in Ukraine, they not only falsified the election through as many means as possible, but also leading up to the election they showed Michal Moore’s “documentary”, “Fahrenheit 9/11.” The old KGB powers recognized the propaganda nature of Comrade Moore’s work.

  10. 10. Rubicon

    Like so many others, Michael Moore makes excuses for anything or anyone who has a poor opinion of America. Michael seems to think he is immune from the dangers. He seems to think ‘he’ will be spared. He seems to think ‘liberals’ will be spared & accepted into the jihadist clan.
    Michael Moore & many other liberals who think negotiations will solve all problems, show us that Nevile Chamberlain still lives & his foolish immaturity & naiveté, is the logic of useful idiots.

  11. a driven and determined extremist

    Driven by what, though? The teachings of Islam, that’s what.

    By the way, Michael Moore, hero of the working class and scourge of captialism has an estimated fortune of $50 million.

    “Capitalism did nothing for me,” he says.

  12. 12. Alex Bensky

    There’s more irony about Michael Moore, Frank. In one of his books, I think “Stupid White Men” but I’m not sure and do not plan to check, he criticizes Americans for not eating properly and being obese.

    I couldn’t help thinking of that when I saw the pic accompanying the post and, of course, remembering that the great friend of the working man doesn’t use union labor on some of his projects. He’s all for the principle except when it costs him money.

  13. 13. tanstaaflt

    I watched Hannity’s lengthy interview of MM.

    Moore came across as a good Catholic boy, a-hopin’ & a-prayin’ that he’s gonna make his way into heaven by all of his self-serving paeans, aka films, from Columbine to Sicko to this latest film assaulting Capitalism. And, occasionally, turning over a fraction of his income to his “lessers”.

    Hannity challenged him to do more than occasional donations and to give up the private jet and the multi-millions.

    Naturally, our anti-capitalist wannabe will not be abandoning the profligate “good life” anytime soon, much like others of his hypocritical ilk, most notably, Noam Chomsky.

  14. 14. Rodger Harris

    Michael Moore is a fat pig idiot. It’s ok for him to make millions in a free economy but he like most left wing idiots dont want any one else to make millions, if they do they are evil. This just goes to show you want morons most American are they actually go to this idiots movies and support this fat no nothing.

  15. 15. DonnaB

    If there was ever any meaning to the old lefty insult of “capitalist pig”, Moore is the living embodiment of it.

  16. Moore is an idiot looking for his savant. The worst thing people could do to him is not pay any attention to him at all. Don’t watch him or his moronic movies, don’t watch him on TV, don’t read articles about him and don’t comment about him on blogs. I personally believe that he doesn’t really exist.

    Maybe the Egyptians were right. Living forever means you’re important enough to be talked about.

    Moore is not.

  17. 17. Carol

    How about Moore and others of his ilk move to a Muslim country and enjoy the fun!

  18. Here in Israel, we know how to deal with radical Islam and terrorism.

    Terrorist find no soft targets in Israel and are often put down
    before they have the opportunity to do any damage.
    .
    In addition, Terror attacks are stopped by armed civilians, teachers, bus drivers and EMT’s.
    Muslim extremest, deranged postal worker, nut job with mental issues, here in Israel we don’t discriminate. They all get what they deserve.

    Carol,
    Sometimes i wonder if we are in the same country. Then i wonder why you are still in our country.

    I am not bothered about Michael Moore and his belief on how many muslim extremists there are.

    You are impying that here we do not recognise the threat from within.

    I don’t whether you have heard but we have just lost five soldiers and many injured when an Afghan soldier/police opened fire on the soldiers they where working side by side with.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1225090/Five-British-soldiers-killed-Afghanistan-single-attack-Taliban.html

    At least the BBC was reporting YOUR losses at Fort Hood live,ours hasn’t had a mention by you or pyjamas media.

    The debate here has been huge about the threat here and overseas.
    Did you not join in with remembrance sunday ,did you wear a poppy for the soldiers who have died in all conflicts to protect us from the threat we know exists just differ on what action should be taken.

    This was on live,
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8348225.stm

    We supported the U.S when they were attacked on 9/11. We have had soldiers die in Iraq and still dying in Afghanistan because of our agreement that muslim extremists are a threat to us.
    Even experienced the 7/7 bombs,but we are all just anti-semites ,are we?

  20. 20. JED

    On another scale, yet similar, one wonders why the anti-gun, anti-self denfense, terrorists are only misunderstood, cops cause criminals, code-pink mindset can not see the threats before their eyes. The reality check is that there are lots of people just waiting to do harm to anyone right now. Wishful thinking does not make them repent.
    I just emptied my spam and virus filter. In the last day I defended this computer from 21 viruses and 67 spams selling whatevers. The point of that obviousness is that the bad guys are there and willing to cause harm.

  21. 21. Seraphim

    All of that filthy pig capitalist money and he can’t spend a little on Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers?

    Not that he could lose the UGLY anyway.

    This idiot wouldn’t know a Jihadist if one of them implanted an explosive suppository up his greasy rectum.

  22. 22. Peter the Bubblehead

    The best movie starring ‘Michael Moore’ is “An American Carol.”

    Rent it today!

  23. 23. Carol

    19 Mags – I truly cannot make head or tail of what you wrote. What in the world is your point?

  24. 24. Don Rodrigo

    “”"”"” Hannity challenged him to do more than occasional donations and to give up the private jet and the multi-millions. “”"”"”

    Michael Moore has a private jet? Really? I find that hard to believe; I mean, even with his fortune he can’t possibly afford a C-17.

  25. 25. deguello

    Please somebody help me! Call PETA, Michael Moore keeps moleting me; will someone tell him that it’s sows not cows he should be dating? Elsie the Cow, Borden Ranch,Wisconsin.

  26. 26. A.M. Mallett

    Mr. Moore has obviously been eating enough of something to cause him to guess at the location of the commode.

    Thank you for a well written and informative article.

    Have all the anti-Jewish crowd here ever considered the fact that, despite the Holocaust they suffered -in which a large proportion shared a brutal death, or many, in their close families, there is NO Jewish body like the murderous multi-national al-Qaeda in existence these last 60 years, picking off Germans, other informers or quislings, and Vichy French on a month-to-month basis? Yet they all had very good reasons for good old ‘Moslem revenge’, didn’t they?
    It’s all apparantly because of the ‘great’ deal they got in 1948 from a generous UN world -a mosaic of slivers of land they miraculously defended alone [in 1948!], and have defended stoutly during Arab annihilation wars and phony war truces ever since.
    Meanwhile, they now are more educated and more productive technically, than even a blessedly peaceful country like, say, Switzerland [who, by the way, even STOLE from the Holocaust survivors!]
    The amazing thing is how civilised and peaceful the Jews are everywhere, given the appalling treatment the world has dealt out to them, including the UN ['Zionism is racism', not Palestine-ism] these last 35 years.. Truly amazing.

    Now you Guardian types can go back to your Jew-inspired ‘righteous’ anger, and delicate Arab/Moslem sympathies.

    Michael ‘pig knuckle’ Moore always looks to me as if he reeks of stinky cheese. I pity the poor fool who’s job it is to give that smegma oozing cretin’s crevices a sponge bath.

    And wtf is it with the mentally challenged Leftist/Islamist united crap? Hello? Islamists would annihilate you for your Leftist ‘ideals’. Self-defeating behavior much, ya dopes.

    *shiver*

    #28 Delia commented: “Islamists would annihilate you (Moore),for your leftist “ideals”.At last!Someone discovers the silver lining in Jihad!

    Carol,
    I am sorry if my ramblings made no sense.I will try again.

    Initially you were writing about Michael Moores underplay of muslim extremist.
    You then linked it to the British ,who you believe haven’t a clue either.That we don’t recognise the threat faced by terrorism, then giving examples of this.

    Abdulla Ahmed Ali did not foster a child-it was his family who he had access to.

    The placement here was made after checks and before anyone was made aware of any terrorist activity in the extended family network.

    “The child was moved immediately when the police were in touch and arrests were made in 2006. The family no longer fosters for Haringey.”

    It came about because he was under surveillance.
    Hence recognising the threat here.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8242479.stm

    Everybody was pleased,we managed to thwart the plan.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8244025.stm

    The police investigating the liquid bomb plot were forced to cut short their surveillance operation and make arrests earlier than they intended when Rashid Rauf, a close friend of the acquitted terror suspect and the alleged joint ringleader, was arrested in Pakistan in August 2006, after authorities there came under pressure from the US.

    The early curtailment of the evidence-gathering mission had raised fears that police in Britain may not have had all the time they needed to collect the evidence necessary to prosecute the case successfully.

    ‘all regular broadcasting has ceased on BBC News and Sky channels to cover the shootings at Fort Hood,’you said

    So what? We have just lost five soldiers killed by an Afghan soldier/policeman who they were working with.At least your soldiers got a mention here,ours didn’t over there.

    ‘Jews inside Britain are not causing the British intelligence services to work overtime monitoring their multi-faceted plots 365 days a year, 24/7, unlike so many British Muslims.’

    So you agree that we do see the threat from British muslims ?

  31. 31. Tex Expatriate

    Here in the U.S. we will soon have the same problem. Barack Obama, head socialist, wants to drestroy the U.S. and will, unless Americans rise up.

    Marina: Americans will rise up.
