Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: CAIR Lies in Smear Campaign Against Zuhdi Jasser

Feb 19, 2014 4:39 pm By Robert Spencer

CAIRJasserIn FrontPage today I expose yet another of the endless stream of lies from the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR):

I know, I know: reporting that the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is lying is like reporting that humans breathe oxygen. Still, this is a particularly egregious example, and it is important to set the record straight. Hamas-linked CAIR is now defaming Zuhdi Jasser, the nation’s premier (and virtually only) anti-jihad Muslim spokesman. I have had some differences with Jasser (you can see our 2011 debate here) about the nature of Islamic teaching and the necessity of reform in Islam, but there is no doubt that he is a strong voice against Hamas-linked CAIR and other malignant Islamic supremacist forces.

It is also highly likely that Hamas-linked CAIR is lying about Jasser’s supposed attempt to deny religious rights to Muslim military personnel, since Jasser is committed to constitutional freedoms. There is no doubt, in any case, that they’re lying about me. In the first place, I’ve never heard of the Abstraction Fund, which they say funds Jihad Watch. I am not familiar with all those who fund the David Horowitz Freedom Center, with which Jihad Watch is affiliated, and it is possible that Abstraction funds the Center, but they do not fund Jihad Watch directly. (They’re certainly welcome to do so!)

More importantly, Hamas-linked CAIR claims that the Roman Catholic diocese of Sacramento called me a “key leader in the anti-Islam hate movement in the United States.” This is almost certainly a lie, for several reasons. One is that in its initial chest-thumping about the Sacramento bishop caving in to their smear campaign last June, CAIR never mentioned this — and Hamas-linked CAIR has never been one to shy away from using a weapon that their marks hand them. What’s more, I spoke at the event in question, and the diocese of Sacramento had an information booth there — a strange thing for the diocese to have done if they really wanted to shun a leader of a supposed “hate movement.” The official statement that the diocese sent to Kolbe Academy said only this: “The Bishop didn’t think that it was in the best interest of Kolbe Academy to have a controversial speaker at a conference on education.”

    Sadly, the thugs at CAIR will smear other Muslims as ‘islamophobes” as they did to Tarek Fatah when he challenged CAIR-canada to denouce the doctrine of Armed-jihad . CAIR’s rep dodged the question and went straight to the smear tactic.

    The truth about this evil cult will eventually be heard and will prevail in the Roman Catholic church! The strong history of intellectualism in the Roman church will finally win and beat back the temporary false cant of ‘tolerance’. There can be no compromise with the anti-humanism of Islam. The rigorous thought of theologians will be applied to Islam. Pope Francis should authorize a commission of theologians to study and analyze the theological, sociological and moral problems of Islam and help churchmen and women become fully knowledgeable about the dangers of this Death Cult.

    Agreed; pity about this though-

    “Pope Francis should authorize a commission of theologians to study and analyze the theological, sociological and moral problems of Islam”

    That will be right after he comes clean about Catholic abuse of children, then?

    I don’t trust anyone who believes an angel named Gabriel appeared to Mahound and told him all that stuff. Besides, isn’t Mercury the messenger of the gods? That’s how Mahound describes himself, it’s shahada. So does that mean that Gabriel was an imposer or usurper?
    Why would Allah send Gabriel with messages, when he already has a designated messenger named Mercury? None of that makes sense because it is all a fairy tale.

    @duh_swami
    “I don’t trust anyone who believes an angel named Gabriel appeared to Mahound..”

    Here’s what the famous Muslim scholar al-Qurtubi wrote about Gabriel:

    “Al-Abyad (a demon) is the friend of the prophets and he is the one who went to the Prophet (pbuh) in the form of Gabriel (the angel)”
    Al-Qurtubi (arabic) 37/18 / تفسير القرطبي
