Robert Spencer: Exploiting mass murder: Islamic supremacists using the Sikhs

In Atlas Shrugs I discuss how Islamic supremacists have been exploiting the recent murderous attack on a Sikh temple:

A neo-Nazi last week stormed a Sikh temple and murdered six people in Wisconsin. Ever since then, Muslim organizations in the U.S. such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), abetted by the mainstream media, have been cravenly exploiting this horror for their own purposes, blaming "anti-Muslim sentiment."

The New York Times was the worst, publishing an unctuous piece by Samuel G. Freedman entitled "If the Sikh Temple Had Been A Mosque" and ultimately blaming "well-endowed groups like Jihad Watch, ACT for America and Stop Islamization of America" for the carnage.

This is as unconscionable as it is crass, for numerous reasons, none of which have to do with the fact that Jihad Watch and SIOA are anything but "well-endowed." Foremost among them is the fact that Sikhs aren't Muslims; are often harassed and persecuted by Muslims (while these same U.S. Muslim organizations remain silent). There is no evidence whatsoever that the Nazi murderer intended to kill Muslims and was killing Sikhs by mistake, and no one with even rudimentary knowledge of these issues would ever actually mistake a Sikh for a Muslim. In reality, white supremacist neo-Nazis generally consider Islamic supremacists to be their allies; and those working against jihad and Islamic supremacism, whom Hamas-linked CAIR and its allies are blaming for these murders, never call for or justify any violence.

The Muslim exploitation of the Sikh murders is part of the “Islamophobia” industry: the ongoing attempt to convince Americans that “Islamophobia” is rampant, and Muslims are being victimized daily, and need special protection from law enforcement (which will thereby be conveniently diverted from investigating jihad terror plotting). All genuine bigotry is absolutely unacceptable, of course, but in fact, Muslims are rarely its victims. FBI statistics show that there is no "Islamophobia." Contrary to media emphases and preoccupations, many "anti-Muslim hate crimes" have been faked by Muslims, and Jews are eight times more likely than Muslims to be the victims of hate attacks.

Hamas-linked CAIR trumpets “hate crimes” against Muslims, real and imagined, and even uses hate crimes against other groups in order to deflect attention away from jihad activity and try to portray Muslims as victims, so as to shame non-Muslims into not investigating or even being suspicious of further jihad activity. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims have not even hesitated to fabricate "hate crimes." CAIR and other groups like it want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they can use them for political points and as weapons to intimidate people into remaining silent about the jihad threat.

The appalling Harris Zafar, the Ahmadi Muslim spokesman who sides with those who persecute his people in Pakistan and Indonesia and instead attacks those who defend his people, tweeted after the attack that “crimes against Sikhs Since 9/11 driven by hatred for Muslims.” His claim was not original: most mainstream media reports on the murders claimed that that the Sikhs were murdered because they were actually mistaken for Muslims – despite the fact that there is no substantiation for this claim.

There is more.

Neo-Nazis and most Muslims are united by their hatred of the Jews and Israel.Why would a neo-Nazi hate a group that hates Israel as much as they do?Obviously many are too dumb to see the logic.Check out:

One should recall that Islam is a totalitarian ideology in the sense that it claims (and seeks) global supremacy and dictates the minutia of how individuals are supposed to live (according to the will of allah).

Communism is about class warfare; Nazism was (is) about race. The Wisconsin mass murderer was a Nazi. His motivations were racist, not religious. Islam, the oldest totalitarian ideology, is about religious warfare; i.e., destroying or subjugating “other systems of belief” to make Islam supreme:

9:33
It is He [allah] who sent His messenger [muhammad]
with guidance [the Koran] and the true faith [Islam only]
in order to make it superior to other systems of belief [what the non-Muslim world believes]
Source: Al-Qur’an: A Contemporary Translation by Ahmed Ali (1993)

The only consistently effective Muslim formula for fulfilling this divine supremacist and totalitarian mandate has been the use or threat of the use of force.

As I wrote under “Standing in solidarity with the Sikhs” below (August 7):

All this atrocity does is empower our Islamist enemies, their allies, and their league of useful idiots (which, unfortunately includes some naive Sikhs) who seek to destroy our way of life.

Race is not and should not be the issue, despite the obvious attempts by our Islamist enemies and their supporters to slander their opponents as "racists" whenever the opportunity presents itself.

The threat all non-Muslims (irrespective of their skin color, physical features, or place of origin) face comes from Islamic supremacist doctrines, which are fundamental tenets of Islam (and not an aberration or "misinterpretation" thereof) and the predatory Jihad mandate (which is also "orthodox" Islam).

The Sikhs have had their own firsthand experience with predatory Jihad and Islamic supremacism, as the exhibits in the Martyr Museum in the holiest Sikh temple in Amritsar attest. Their religion was, in effect, founded by a post-Muhammad prophet (like the Ahmadi sect of Islam and Mormonism), which, in devout Muslim eyes, makes it illegitimate (like all the world's other "systems of belief"). Muslims boiling Sikhs to death, bayonetting pregnant Sikh women in the belly, sawing Sikhs in half from head to groin - these are a few of the images I remember being displayed in the museum.

Unfortunately, some Sikhs have become ignorant of their faith's struggles at the hands of Muslims in and around the Punjab, and the core Islamic doctrines that sanction the persecution of Sikhs and others, for all time. As a result of this tragedy, more Sikhs (and more useful idiots) will now work with Islamist supremacists and thereby advance their nefarious agenda.

It took almost 3 years until CAIR finally did admit that the 9/11 hijackers WERE muslims, BUT, CAIR went into damage control and said the 9/11 hijacker had Misunderstood islam and the peaceful teaching in the quran.

Funny how 19'250 people still misunderstand islam since 9/11 and did acts of Terrorism that slaughtered mostly other muslims .

Your write-up equating the Sikhs w/ Ahmadiyas seems to suggest that Sikhism is an offshoot of Islam, like Ahmadiya & Bahais, which it is not. Its founder Guru Nanak was never a Muslim - his parents were Hindu. The reason Sikhs were hated was not b'cos they strayed from Islam, but that like all other Infidels - Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, they didn't follow Islam in the first place.

I suspected that CAIR would do its ambulence chasing to horn in on this outrage for Muslim publicity, which is just disgusting to watch.
