The Muslim victimhood stories are coming thick and fast in the run-up to 9/11. Somehow AP has not found the time to do a single story about the ongoing threat of jihad attack in the United States. And the stealth jihad? Forget it!
I discussed this disinformation campaign by the mainstream media and Hamas-linked CAIR here, and Pamela Geller states some home truths:
They are not the ones living under death threat, we are. They are not the ones targeted, we are. They are not getting death threats. We are. They don't have to live with 24/7/365 heavy duty security, Geert Wilders does. Wafa Sultan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Robert Spencer, Ibn Warraq, Salman Rushdie, the producers from Comedy Central, and accidental counter jihad tourists like Molly Norris live under death threat. As do I.Good, decent souls speaking out against a radical ideology, gender apartheid and supremacism are demonized and marginalized.
But the media blacks that out. They never report on that. Their narrative of Muslims "living in fear," and worse still, living in fear on 911, is the ultimate insult. Real fear is living as a non-Muslim in Muslim countries under the sharia. Real fear is living as a Coptic Christian in Egypt, real fear is living as a Christian in Indonesia, real fear is a girl going to school in Afghanistan, real fear is being an Israeli awaiting the Islamic nuke, real fear is being a Jew in Europe, or a pro-Israel Jew on many US college campuses and on and on and on.
But all that is not on AP's radar screen. There is more here -- read it all.
"For US Muslims, a 9/11 anniversary like no other," by Rachel Zoll for AP, September 4 (thanks to all who sent this in):
NEW YORK - American Muslims are boosting security at mosques, seeking help from leaders of other faiths and airing ads underscoring their loyalty to the United States -- all ahead of a 9/11 anniversary they fear could bring more trouble for their communities.Their goal is not only to protect Muslims, but also to prevent them from retaliating if provoked. One Sept. 11 protest in New York against the proposed mosque near ground zero is expected to feature Geert Wilders, the aggressively anti-Islam Dutch lawmaker. The same day in Gainesville, Fla., the Dove World Outreach Center plans to burn copies of the Quran.
"We can expect crazy people out there will do things, but we don't want to create a hysteria," among Muslims, said Victor Begg of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan. "Americans, in general, they support pluralism. It's just that there's a lot of misinformation out there that has created confusion."
On Tuesday, the Islamic Society of North America will hold a summit of Christian, Muslim and Jewish leaders in Washington "to address the growing tide of fear and intolerance" in the furor over the planned New York mosque....
Great. I trust they will address and denounce the death threats I and others have received for opposing the mosque. Ms. Mattson? Mr. Hooper? Anyone? Anyone?
"Their goal is not only to protect Muslims, but also to prevent them from retaliating if provoked."
-----------------
Should read:
"Their goal is not only to protect Muslims, but also to prevent them from retaliating if provoked THIS time, over THIS issue."
The quotes of Winston Churchill on Islam are posted here often, but they can never be posted too often, as they are as salient today as they were when he wrote them (1899):
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.…A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities ... but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome." [The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pp. 248-50.]
Since when has Islam tolerated anything not to its immediate advantage? Without taxing it heavily and to destruction, I mean?
Ultimately it was Islam that split and destroyed Late Roman civilization and by its continuing conquests and raids sidetracked Europe from a path that likely would have lead to the Age of Reason centuries before it actually occurred. I find little to thank the desert Arabs for.
Some scholars would have us be thankful to the Muslim empire for preserving bits and pieces of antiquity ....are they out of their minds? Are they unable to imagine what would have been left to posterity if the Byzantine Empire had been left alone? If Europe hadn't been under constant Muslim attack?
A little OT but:
As I again read the Churchill quote you've posted I have a vision of Prince Barry grabbing that bust of Winston , trying to control his temper so as not to break it and demanding that it be sent packing back to Britain.
When I first heard of Winston's eviction from the White House I thought it was because of George Bush, the war in Iraq etc., but now I see it differently. I probably come late to this realization, but the Prince evicted Winston because he didn't like what Winston had thought & said about muslims-the truth!
Wish I could have been there to witness that particular temper tantrum!
The world is in desperate need of another Winston Churchill, although Geert, Robert & Pamela are doing an excellent job filling in.
To be fair, Mr Spencer, I have recieved death threats as well, from American white people, for daring to be a Muslim posting on American message boards. If these threats somehow grant legitimacy or validity to your arguments, I should get the same.
"I find little to thank the desert Arabs for."
Couldn't agree more, they have a penchant for destroying anything that is beautiful or creative or honest or magnificent, In other words anything that isn't muslim.
When cornered, you can count on seeing the much abuse and overused muslim "victim" card or the "islamophobia" card, but it would never occur to them to take the focus off themselves and care about any non-muslim's well being. There's nothing it in for them.
Exactly how have "they" sent you these "death threats" Yusef?

I heard it had something to do with O's Mahoundian grandfather having been imprisoned and "tortured" by the British.
I don't know what he supposedly did that led to his detainment, but likely he was just acting like the usual threatening, lying, violent Mahoundian.
In those days (those good old days) the Brits didn't put up with that kind of behavior. Now they encourge it as part of their wonderful "multi-cultural" society.
Yousef,
Being a mohammedan you are, almost per definition, a liar - just like your pig-prophet was liar (beside being a child rapist and a sadistic murderer). Now, why should we believe your story?
Another thing, how would you know the alleged sender was "white American" and not a mohammedan brother busy fabricating yet another anti-muzzlum "incident"?
Here are a few quotes from today's CAIR "American Muslim News Brief".They are certainly playing the "victim" card, along with the "self-righteous" card and the "sympathy" card and the "exaggeration" card. Too bad they aren't playing with a full deck....
note: brackets mine
"SIGNS OF HATE AS MOSQUE (MAS backed mosque) SUPPORTS GIVE AWAY SCHOOL SUPPLIES"
"Protesters Confront Muslim Worshippers at Philly Mosque"
"MUSLIMS TONING DOWN EID FESTIVITIES IN HONOR OF SEPT. 11"
"ANTI-ISLAM RHETORIC HEATS UP AHEAD OF 9/11 "
"AMERICAN MUSLIMS ASK, WILL WE EVER BELONG?"
"Even in these days of increased vitriol toward Muslims, and heated rhetoric .......
""Whenever there's a perception that America is somehow anti-Muslim, that harms our image and interests around the Islamic world," said Ibrahim Hooper......
"Events in which Dutch law enforcement detained, then released, two Yemeni men on suspicion of terrorism are an example of how ethnic and religious profiling does not work, wastes resources and humiliates people."
""There are those who are promoting the idea that Muslims will be celebrating on 9/11 because that fits their hate-filled agenda," said Ibrahim Hooper....
and the piece de resistance:
"We are asking people to take into account security concerns... given the almost hysterical atmosphere we're in right now," said Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Burn the koran. Let the ashes fall where they will. I am at the point where I think it is HIGH TIME they get a real taste of what we are feeling about their 6th C. barbarity inspiring little snot green book!
WHEN MUSLIMS ARE NOT BUSY VICTIMIZING NON-MUSLIMS BY KILLING THEM , KIDNAPING THEM, RAPING THEM , DESTROYING TO THE GROUND THEIR PLACES OF WORSHIP, THEIR BURIAL GROUNDS, THEIR SCHOOLS, THEIR HOMES, THEIR BUSINESS' AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT BELONGS TO THEM.... THE MUSLIMS ARE BUSY CRYING WHAT VICTIMS THEY THEMSELVES ARE!
What a crock of manure it is when a muslim talks about being persecuted in the USA or any Western MODERN country.
Hey, muslim I got your persecution right here.... my backside pointed in the direction of mecca and your moon stone!! I F--- in your general direction. SO THERE!
I heard Ingrid Mattson on the radio today, here in Melbourne. She sounded so damned convincing: POOR Muslims living in fear...they love the pluralistic American society...erk...such a warm, winning, yet *vulnerable* tone. Then on the news much was made about the terrible Christians, going against Christ's commandments in their dreadful intolerance...hatred...Koran-burning.
They keep on winning the media's sympathy even though, funnily enough, opposition to Islam grows and the feeling that "the Constitution is not a suicede pact" gets stronger.

Islam is so evil and vile you cannot expect it to ever repent of its evil deeds...
Jesus said (when speaking about the last days)..
That many will behead their victims (islam)..
For in doing so they will think (believe)..
That they are doing god a service..
Islam is beyond any hope of reformation..
Islam is a DEATH cult period..
So i fully expect death threats (and i have recieved them as well)...
Christians need to stand up
Grow a pair of balls
Stop sinning..
And then TELL the muslims the TRUTH..
If you follow islam you will END up in HELL
PERIOD...
The only way to get to heaven is by accepting Jesus the Christ as your Lord and personal savior..
So christians need to stand up and tell the muslims the truth.. Yes debate them..
Yes take them on..
I will without hesitation..
But i always tell them this at the end.
I know what i believe is true..
You can belive in anything you like..
It wont effect me when you die and end up in hell..
So if you want to believe in a flower pot..
Go ahead..
Or if you personally wish to believe that the false moon god will save your sorry ass after you blow yourselves up..
Again Go ahead..
Kill yourself
But by yourself..
And after your done..
And you wake up in HELL
When you look over and find mohammed screaming in pain
right next to you..
All you will hear is one thing..
Mohammed screaming
I WAS WROMG..
"...said Victor Begg of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan. "Americans, in general, they support pluralism. It's just that there's a lot of misinformation out there that has created confusion."
Americans may support pluralism...Muslims don't....and there is a lot of misinformation out there creating confusion...and it is being spewed out by the Muslims and the Muslim loving MSM.....but then there are those Muslims who speak Clearly of their intentions...like A.Choudry, Ahmadinejad, Bin Laden, or any of those Muslim leaders seen on films such as FITNA or Obsession....so...which Muslims do you believe...the ones lying or the ones telling the truth?....
Do you need help in deciding which ones to believe?....then read their religious books such as the Qur'an...then look at their real time actions and treatments of non Muslims in Muslim dominated areas....it is a fact that when Muslims get stronger the quality of life for non Muslims deteriorates...read editorials columns in your paper written by Muslims...seen the disguised Jew and Infidel bashing...the support for various Islamic terrorist organizations...watch the Muslims in your neighborhood as you shop in Home Depot...Walmart....or your favorite grocery store...see the rudeness...see the arrogant attitudes...it's really very clear....then imagine you are a Non Muslim in a Muslim dominated area like Pakistan, Somalia, or Iran....then read the true reports of the terror these non Muslims are forced by the Muslims to Endure..then it become easier to see the truths about Islam..Islam and it's not so secret designs on domination...it becomes easier to see the Muslims air of supremacism and their total disregard for pluralism and their vile hatred of those who spread the truths about Islam and of those who missions it is to inform the unwary souls who are not Muslim..And everytime the Muslims play their "victim" card you will know it could well be a lie...Muslims really hate it when Infidels know the truths about Islam...and they really , really hate it when you tell them you know the truth about Islam....
Martin Luther King said "Judge a man not by the color of his skin...but by the content of his character".....now, go out and discover the content of Muslims character by the actions the Muslims doing across the globe...When you do...you may discover that Islam is spreading its "religion" by swinging the sword and slinging lead....
Islam is providing you with plenty of material to help you decide if Islam is a "religion of peace" as they claim...hate and violence is hard to hide when you openly do it every day....
You may discover Islams answer to everything is death...violent and immediate death to all who question Islam or who stand is the way of becoming totally dominant and absolute rulers.....violent and immediate death ...always...
Islam is on the march...and you are in their sights....What are your actions to be...What will you do?...start by educating yourself and everyone that you care about..about the truths of Islam...
To be fair, Mr Spencer, I have recieved death threats as well,
That's just because you try harder than most...Must be something about that charming personality...
Good, decent souls speaking out against a radical ideology, gender apartheid and supremacism are demonized and marginalized.
Yes...and the kufr who are doing this, are motivated by a fear of the Religion of Peace...Smearing and demonizing those speaking out sends a message to the bully, that say's, 'see', I'm on your side...please don't hurt me'...John Wayne would call this cowardice and go for the throat...
