In Human Events this morning I discuss the ongoing jihad and the ongoing denial:
A Kosovar Albanian Muslim, Arid Uka, murdered two American airmen outside the Frankfurt Airport in Germany last Wednesday. “I did it for Allah,” he explained.Like so many jihad attacks these days, this one was initially dismissed as having nothing to do with terrorism. Boris Rhein, interior minister for Germany’s Hesse state, almost immediately declared that there were no indications that the shootings had been a terror attack. After Uka’s openly jihadist statements, Rhein had to reverse himself. But his initial reaction was indicative of the general tendency toward denial of the reality of the Islamic jihad among government and law enforcement personnel in the West.
What actually would constitute a terrorist attack for enlightened liberal Westerners such as Rhein? Would the murderer have to announce that he was about to carry out a terrorist attack before he started shooting? Would he have to be carrying an al-Qaeda membership card? In the case of the Frankfurt Airport shooting, Uka appears to have acted alone. Thus German security analyst Bernd Georg Thamm noted: “We have a new ... perpetrator of terrorism, the lone wolf. Terrorism experts have dreaded this for a while, and now it’s happened. And it won’t be the last case.”
Indeed. Yet it is abundantly clear that even if Arid Uka acted alone in the Frankfurt Airport, his view of the Koran is not eccentric among Muslims worldwide. Yet nearly 10 years after Mohamed Atta and his crew flew a plane into the World Trade Center out of love for Allah, we still don’t see any sustained or concerted effort by self-proclaimed peaceful Muslims in the United States or anywhere else to disabuse their coreligionists of this jihad ideology and its globalist, supremacist, totalitarian political agenda. Such an effort should not be seen as optional or incidental. Without it, the very commitment of these self-proclaimed moderates to the United States and its Constitution can and should be called into question....
Europe has gone beyond the point of no return, with Buddhist, Jew, Darwin and Gay free zones.
He didn't just say he did it for Allah.
He also cited YouTube videos purporting to show Coalition forces raping Muslim women.
They do exist. But they are clearly fabricated: poorly acted pornos, with crappy props and even worse dialogue interspersed with news coverage that any decent journalist with a nose for the truth would have dismissed in an instant - and thus destroyed the credibility of Uka's claim and the wider justification by Islamists of the defilement of Muslim women being used to stir up hatred against the civilised world.
Except the didn't. When Jihadist lies go unchallenged by Western media, it's the truth that gets raped.
More at the blog.
You can call him anything under the sun, but he's a follower of the koran. He is a devout muslim. Just like Al-qaeda, the muslim brotherhood, the taliban, et al. He is pure Islam.
A lone wolf? Give me a break!
Many victoms of domestic abuse also live in denial and put up with the abuse.
It's human nature.
Crying "Lone Wolf" is an effective propaganda tool. I'm ever amazed at how many rational people fall for this line.
Lone Wolf? According to CNN (liberal news network) he's a "Radicalized Muslim" and it took 6 months for him to become radicalized. They had an expert on to attest to this, so now I guess we don't have to worry about "Islamic Terrorism" anymore. So everyone be on the lookout for those "radicalized muslims"; they'll be coming to an airport near you very soon.
If any Sharia Law takes hold in the US, Muslims will find out for themselves what "lone wolves" will do.
So Muslims get upset over a Motoon, but we are to look the other way WHEN A MUSLIM MURDERS OTHERS IN THE NAME OF ALLAH. Where's the so'called moderate muslim outrage? There are no moderate Muslims. MUSLIMS ARE THE ENEMY. Political correctness prevents American leadership from identifying the truth and staying in denial. Islam is a trashy, murderous cult.
Our main problems are the non-Muslims who keep telling us that you also find brutal verses in the Bible but that the monks who cite them every day are not radicalised, so those who commit acts of terrorism are misunderstanders of the Koran. I can't see how you can misinterpret "Kill the infidels wherever you find them". Eyes wide shut, I'd say. It's obvious that other religions such as Judaism, Christendom, Buddhism, Hinduism to name only a few don't incite their adherents to violence, but Islam does.
The fact that the perp is a "lone wolf" is of minor importance, just another perspective of terrorism. I bet the dead American soldiers don't give a damn about what kind of killer murdered them. We have to fight and protect ourselves against this Nazi ideology.
Mr. Spencer,
I have read your books and consider myself one of your students, but I have come to believe that it is WRONG to expect that Muslims will police their own when ALL Muslims are COMMANDED to follow Sharia. "The Sharia has been the official and normative interpretation of the Koran for ALL of Islam. Sharia is the Koran and Sunna (Ahadith & Sira) as interpreted by Islam's finest scholars." Quit apologizing for those who have not sliced off our heads, yet silently practice dualism (separation/dhimmi status for all non-Muslims), taqiyya (lying/deception). They relentlessly seek constitutional waivers that institute Sharia customs, cultural modifications and legal exceptions that use the 1st Amendment (freedom of religion) to hijack the supremacy clause (Article 6)! Enough placating of this vicious domestic enemy whose entire 1,400 year history is a long trail of rape, torture, murder, plunder and religious tyranny. Islam is a geo-political, para-military, criminal/mafia organization with a religious front. Mohammad was a Godfather who ordered hit men to murder his detractors. During the 13 years that he preached peace in his hometown of Mecca where he was barely tolerated, he only had 150 converts. But, when he fled to Medina and gained political and military power his message changed, and he became wildly successful. His converts were persuaded by fear & intimidation, but also the promise of plunder from pillaging the innocent, and the ancillary benefits of rape and blood lust murders of people that he conquered, plus the delusion of heavenly reward of Martyrs. Muslims, ALL Muslims are incorrigible enemies of America, indeed of all mankind. Our entire foreign and domestic policies including Military strategies have been corrupted by the appeasement and apologetics that assume Kafirs/infidels (that's you and me) and Muslims can learn to get along, or that "peaceful" Muslims can help us ferret out the violent ones. It is time that we take a hard right turn and face Islam for what it is and will always be.... domestic enemies of this country and of all freedom-loving peoples. We need to begin speaking out honestly about the total incompatibility of Islam and the U.S. Constitution. We need begin recruiting enlightened, patriotic Americans to form a MUSLIM DEPORTATION MOVEMENT that would remove ALL Muslims from within our borders. There is no time to waste. Start talking about it, start promoting it now!
You would think maybe just once someone in the MSM would take people like state department rep. PJ Crowley to task when those of us who are paying attention already know what this jihadist said as he murdered these two airmen in Frankfurt.
Ques: Mr Crowley, when someone pulls out a gun and starts shooting American Servicemen yelling Allaha Akbar why are you unable to call it what it was?
John Noble
I doubt that Robert Spencer will have much to disagree with you on your comments with the exception of you referring to him as an "apologist" for Muslims. Applying that to Spencer will surely get his gander up for Spencer is far from being an apologist for Islam. Saying that is like putting him in the camp with Esposito,Zogby,Norquest, and a host of several other appeasing dhimmis.
"Yet it is abundantly clear that even if Arid Uka acted alone in the Frankfurt Airport.."
Robert, you know Uka did not act alone. Allah was with him.
Mr. Noble, Robert Spencer likes to make his assertions in a backhanded way. I think it's really odd for you to misread his article. He is saying exactly what you want him to say.
Thank you for your comment. I greatly appreciate Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes, Brigette Gabrielle, and others who warn us about the sharp glistening fangs of Islam that are hidden underneath its so-called peaceful religious front. The problem that we face is the position that all of them believe that Islam can be reformed. That is absolutely impossible. That is why I say that they are apologists for Islam. Reformation arguments are killing our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Appeasement politics is the result of reformatists like our dear friends who are simply afraid to be politically incorrect and call for a Deportation Movement in this country that would include ALL MUSLIMS.
"After Uka’s openly jihadist statements, Rhein had to reverse himself. But his initial reaction was indicative of the general tendency toward denial of the reality of the Islamic jihad among government and law enforcement personnel in the West."
and amongst News commentator and hosts such as the retarded Geraldo Rivera. Geraldo was on the other night discussing Islamic terrorism...it appeared he was convinced Muslims were the victims of Muslim bashing. He resorted to bringing up Timothy McVeigh...(and some still suspect there some Islamic involvement in his attack, although the evidence of that is circumstantial), nevertheless Geraldo is completely unable to recognize the threat Islam is posing. He is unable to say that Pious Muslims are planning terrorist attacks or that most of the captured terrorists and murderers say that Islam is the basis for their attacks..Geraldo might as well convert and grow a beard...I still remember Geraldo , the idiot, televising the actual battle plans of the American troops as they advance in the Iraqi desert...Geraldo is a media whore who is willing to lie just to create distractions and gain attention...and he is not alone...
Quick, someone blame Slobo.
