Islamic supremacist activist Cyrus McGoldrick, a former official of Hamas-linked CAIR’s New York chapter, is thumping his chest on his Facebook page over ABC’s cancellation of Alice in Arabia:
Cyrus McGoldrick
8 mins ·Getting #AliceInArabia cancelled was a good move – I’m glad it got done so quickly, too. These skirmishes with Zionist Hollywood should be easy and decisive, and I’m so pleasantly surprised that this was. S/o to ADC, CAIR, and the many individuals who stormed the internet and handled this.
I have a question, though, based on what activists said in media: Is “representation” the issue? Do we really need film terrorists played by real Arabs as opposed to random brown people? Do we really want to spend time asking the US military (the greatest force of destruction in decades) to accommodate religious beliefs so we can join it?
Wouldn’t it be better to turn off the mainstream TV networks? Wouldn’t it be better to oppose military recruitment in our communities?
My connection of culture with war is deliberate. Shows like “Homeland” are bullets in imperialist guns.
McGoldrick, who is now Executive Director of Majlis ash-Shura of Metro New York and Outreach Director of the National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms, is a particularly thuggish Islamic supremacist who has threatened Muslims who talked to law enforcement:
He has done this more than once. He has also cheerfully defamed terrorism researcher Steven Emerson on Twitter. So it’s no surprise that he would include this ugly whiff of Islamic antisemitism in his Facebook message, as well as suggest that the resistance to jihad terrorism is entirely a function of the U.S. imperialist war machine (an increasingly risible claim in the age of Obama, as American influence and power are nearing total collapse).
He has questions, and so I will answer them:
Is “representation” the issue? Do we really need film terrorists played by real Arabs as opposed to random brown people?
Yes, we need jihad terrorists on film — at least in films that purport to deal with the threat of terrorism, as the global jihad is the world’s largest single terror threat today. Any presentation on terrorism that ignores or downplays it is dishonest. Must they be Arabs, or “brown people”? Absolutely not — and McGoldrick’s question reflects his assumption (whether sincerely held or used as a tactic, I don’t know) that those who oppose jihad terror are motivated by racism. In reality, the jihad imperative is believed in and advanced by people of all races. A good movie could be made about the life journeys of Adam Gadahn or John Walker Lindh, white Americans who converted to Islam and ended up joining jihad terror groups. Would McGoldrick consider such a film (which would never be made, since in reality what McGoldrick calls “Zionist Hollywood” is almost entirely subservient to the Islamic supremacist agenda of avoiding any topic that could be construed by groups like Hamas-linked CAIR and individuals like McGoldrick as offensive to Islam.
Do we really want to spend time asking the US military (the greatest force of destruction in decades) to accommodate religious beliefs so we can join it?
“The greatest force of destruction in decades.” In any case, aside from that noxious and inaccurate remark, McGoldrick assumes that the US military doesn’t accommodate religious beliefs. On what does he base this? Did it not bend over backwards to accommodate Major Nidal Malik Hasan, promoting and praising him even after the jihadist sentiments that ultimately led him to murder thirteen Americans in the cause of Islam at Fort Hood became well known? Did it not change its uniform policy to accommodate Muslims who wanted to wear a turban? This is an example of how, in their endless quest to portray themselves as victims and thus as entitled to special accommodation, Islamic supremacists and Leftists depart from reality and enter into the realm of absolute fantasy.
Wouldn’t it be better to turn off the mainstream TV networks? Wouldn’t it be better to oppose military recruitment in our communities?
Well, Cyrus, you’re already opposing Muslims working with law enforcement officials to stop jihad terror plots, so such recommendations are at least consistent.
“My connection of culture with war is deliberate. Shows like ‘Homeland’ are bullets in imperialist guns.”
Maybe. But this is certain: the cancellation of shows like Alice in Arabia under pressure from a Hamas-linked Islamic supremacist group is a battle won in that same war.

guy macher says
Contact ABC and demand they run the show or we will boycott them. ABC can choose to to have a Muslim audience or an American one.
thomas_h says
Great idea, Guy
Do you have an idea how to launch a boycott campaign? Had I lived in the US I would join the effort.
Cheers
Bill says
It doesn’t matter whether you watch the channel or not. ABC gets a cut of your cable bill regardless of whether you watch it. Unfortunately you can only cancel your cable once.
You could try a straight online petition voicing disapproval, but that doesn’t really affect them.
What I would do is target their advertisers. There are no advertisers for a show that has been cancelled so you target advertisers for other shows. Boycott companies that advertise during their other programs.
mortimer says
Right on, GM!
Which do they want us or them?
WE want freedom. THEY want slavery.
Ismail Mohamed says
JW readers, I have been compromised, I have been tipped that the authorities are on to my apostasy and are coming for me, I have packed my bags and will be on the run shortly. This is my last post. I apologize, for posting the following for the fifth, and rest assured the last time, I am asking to read and spread the following comprehensive piece of writing exposing Islam for the brainwashed masses of westerners, it’s my sincere hope that it is propagated to as many as possible through you thankfully. There are two versions of the testimony, to share and spread, depending on where each of you live:
For American, Canadian, Australian non-Muslims:
I thankfully urge you to copy and paste the following onto a Microsoft Office Word file and send it via email to every one you know, more specifically the Islamophilic ones, and your parliament representatives and share it on Facebook and print it and hand out flyers to random people in the street; do whatever you can think of to make this go viral for the safety and good of all us kaffirs and the very survival of the west (spread the word, make this go viral, raise the alarm, ring the alarm bells!!!):
This is the testimony of a closet ex-Muslim atheist born in Saudi Arabia and living since early childhood in Egypt.
My testimony should serve as a WARNING and an ADVICE to NON-MUSLIM (‘KUFFAR’كفار or ‘KAFFARRA’ كفرة) WESTERNERS from a NON-MUSLIM (‘KAFFIR’ كافر) LIVING IN AN ISLAMIC THEOCRACY (falsely believed to be a democracy by naive westerners) shithole which I am eager to leave as soon as I can.
I am a closet ex-Muslim atheist and under Islamic Sharia Law (applied fully in Saudia Arabia and Iran and, to a lesser extent, in almost all other Islamic countries), it’s a capital crime to be godless/irreligious and that is legally allowed to be punishable by vigilantes extra-judicially as well as by the judicature by death, usually by beheading, so it’s suicide to declare that I am an atheist here. Islam which literally means SUBMISSION in Arabic is a hell-bent-on-world-domination expansionist militant totalitarian fascist Theo-political and socio-political supremacist ideology with a judicial aspect masquerading as a religion and is the anti-thesis to everything democracy means and entails. From an Islamic theological perspective, the whole world is divided in two camps: Dar Al-Islam (دارالاسلام House of Islam; that’s the Muslim world) and Dar Al-harb (الحرب دار House of war; that’s is the non-Muslim world upon which Islam relentlessly wages Jihad till it’s subjugated into the fold of Islam). In Islam, there’s no separation of Mosque(by which I mean the Islamic equivalent of Church) and State—the Mosque IS the State and the judicature rules according to the Islamic legal code or aspect—the Sharia(الشريعة الإسلامية ) under which there’s no individual freedoms and freedoms taken for granted in the non-Muslim world such as criticizing Islam as with any other religion or ideology (it’s free speech NOT hate speech), apostasy of Muslims, proselytizing any other faith(for example renown foreign Christian missionaries are not allowed into Islamic countries and native Christians and Christian converts will be massacred by the authorities and ordinary Muslim people alike if they dare to proselytize to Muslims), being openly homosexual and having extra-marital sex are capital crimes punishable by beheading, hanging and stoning to death and it’s illegal to have pre-marital sex, drink alcoholic beverages and eat pork which are punishable by harsh whipping/flogging/lashing and lengthy imprisonment. Muslims have been instructed in the Qu’ran and Hadiths to spread their ideology to all the world and subjugate all countries to Islamic Sharia even if done deceitfully(‘taqiya’ and ‘kitman’ doctrine تقية وكتمان)and even by terrorizing their non-Muslim civilians and there’s no such thing as moderate Islam(Turkish PM Erdogan’s own words, Milliyet, Turkey, 21 August 2007) and the so-called moderate Muslims are not following, or ignorant of, their blood-drenched horrific scriptures or just sleeping terrorist cells and ‘taqyia’ practicing stealth jihadis and all practising observant devout pious Muslims who make up the overwhelming majority of Muslims are Islamists (beards and hijabs and especially niqabs are dead give-aways of Islamists) who are and will sacrifice everything for global Islamic takeover and the re-establishment of a caliphate governed by Shariah laws under which all non-Muslims will either be forced to SUBMIT and convert to Islam or be beheaded except for Jews and Christians(people of the book أهل الكتاب ) who would be made to convert to Islam or pay tribute tax (‘jizya’ جزية) to their Muslim masters and live as persecuted, cowed and threatened second class citizens (‘zemmys’, ذميين)with most of their human rights forcibly denied and subjected to state-approved deadly attacks by rampaging Muslim mobs on a daily basis with no prosecution of the Muslim perpetrators whatsoever.(Google and read the pact of Caliph Omar Bin Al-Khattab with the Copts عهد الخليفة عمر مع الاقباط النصاري who had been by far the most tolerant Caliph to grasp the scale of the unbearably appalling conditions under which ‘zemmys’ have lived even under his rule and are, to a lesser degree, living today in the Muslim world).. All western citizens who cherish FREEDOM should immediately STOP electing Muslim-appeasing liberals and politically correct leftists who will foolishly cause the west to be Islamized by their Muslim mass immigration policies and support for government provision of generous social welfare for, among other impoverished people, the notoriously massively procreating Muslim families(demographic jihad) and the leftists’ advocacy and endorsement of cultural ‘enrichment’ and multiculturalism(which is a good thing but not with Islamic culture)or else live hell under Islamic Sharia. Since its inception, Islam has always been at WAR with the WEST –in fact has always been at WAR with the REST (the entire non-Muslim world) –and for the west to finally conquer Islam, FREEDOM-valuing/loving patriotic Americans, Canadians and Australians MUST elect cultural nationalist politicians for parliament, government and presidency even if they are not white from the likes of Allen West (especially that, in his case, the Muslim-appeasing politically-correct leftists cannot play the race card against him) including the white nationalists and white supremacists among infidel voters who are well-aware of the reality of Islam and, who will have to:
1) STOP buying oil from oil-rich Muslim countries especially Saudia Arabia as a large proportion of Saudi petrodollars serve as the chief source of funding the spread of Wahabi Salafi sect of Islam (most intolerant understanding of the most intolerant ideology الوهابية السلفية ) and financing Jihad all over the world and but instead import oil from Canada, Brazil, Mexico and reluctantly Venezuela and Russia.
2) STOP immigration of Muslims and allow only non-Muslim immigrants into America, Canada and Australia.
3) DEPORT Muslim immigrants especially Islamists (beards, hijabs and niqabs are dead give-aways of Islamists) to their homelands and leave them to die off as most Muslim states are technological and economic failures and will not have the resources to even provide medical care and food for their people if it was not for the huge oil export revenues of some oil-rich Muslim countries and the civilized developed world generously giving vital aid and basic life necessities to the oil-poor ones.

Hilarious scenario that will explain “Ismail’s” self banning. It is clear that all too many JW readers were on to this troll.
Luckily, the supposed Saudi apostate living in Egypt already speaks perfect American slang, and has a ridiculous shtick as a fake white supremecist—I’m sure that will come in handy when he applies for asylum here.

Was “Ismail Mohamed” just too lazy to do an update here, or did he just figure no one here would notice?
And here, buried under reams of perfectly reasonable criticism of Islam, is *this*:
FREEDOM-valuing/loving patriotic racially aware white European infidels MUST elect white nationalist and cultural nationalist politicians for parliament, government and presidency
……………………………….
Why would a Saudi living in Egypt be ranting about “white nationalism”? “Ismail Mohamed” has done this before, though—along with boasting about bedding hordes of white women.

……………………………….
If we are to accept “Ismail Mohamed’s” claim that he is a closet apostate on the run and seeking asylum, from a country where he would be officially identified as a Muslim, would it make sense that he would say this now, even if as an apostate he believed that Muslim immigration into the West were a bad thing?
Under these circumstances he would *fervently wish* that a Western nation would give him asylum and ultimately citizenship.
This is just obvious bullsh*t.
So what was “Ismail Mohammed’s” point with all of his spamming over the last week or so?
I believe he was trying to do two things: smear Anti-Jihadists as white supremacist racists, first and foremost; and secondly, cast aspersions on Muslim apostates.
His most obvious error was in trying to combine the two things, which meant he was constantly tripping himself up, and uncertain whether he wanted to sound like a cartoon of an uneducated white “redneck” or a supercilious well-educated atheist.
These disparate approaches constantly clashed. Eventually, too many posters here figured out that he was a troll, so he decided to pull the plug.
So who was “Ismail Mohamed”? Hard to know for sure, but my guess would be that he was from “LoonWatch” or somewhere similar.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he shows up here again in some new guise.

The sum of which tends to confirm again, among other verities, that Islam is right up there at the top with a full-blown anti-Semitism that rivals Nazism—–regarding which particular Islamic antipathy (among so many that Islam is proud of) helps to explain the adulation of Adolf Hitler in so many Muslim countries and the pathetic credulity about “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” in sundry Muslim lands. Shame on Islam, all of it, for all time because of this rot.
Another verity here is Islam’s complete inability to allow for any kind of freedom of expression. To the extent that Islam has sway, then to that extent is liberty diminished. It is the quintessential inverse proportionality of our time. And it’s damn time that the Western elites of our time take notice of this——but they won’t ( this being in itself a major problem).
And so Islam continues to get a pass. But in a sane, informed world it shouldn’t, it wouldn’t. Not there yet.
leonore says
Wellington. Islam is actually identical with Nazism. Completely totalitarian, any dissent is punishable by death (even often in the family) Conform or die, as with the Nazis usually concentration camp followed by death. The Muslims just don’t bother with the camps. Imposition of Nazism on conquered lands and so on. Another mirror image, the Nazis first started by eliminating opposition among their own people. That is in practice on an almost daily basis in Islam as shown by the conflict between the sects.
John says

thomas_h says
Wellington,
“But in a sane, informed world it shouldn’t, it wouldn’t.”
Absolutely. But can we identify the disease?
I ask because, I believe, PC MC is not the disease itself, but a symptom of a some morbid process(es) occurring on much deeper, “cellular”, level of civilization. Something new got in because something old got out and the war on common sense masquerading as common sense begun.
Wellington says
Hello, thomas_h. Hope you’re doing well.
I agree with you that PC/MC is a symptom rather than the initial cause. The initial cause I would identify as an incorrect understanding of freedom, freedom being something that Western Civilization pioneered (by far) more than any other civilizaton in history.
Freedom must come with a sense of responsibility, wisdom, restraint and knowledge in order to continue optimally. When a free Western society (no non-Western society ever established true freedom) ceases to accompany liberty with these requisites, then freedom is in jeopardy becasue it is being abused and it quickly devolves into license, morbid (even narcissistic) self-criticism, political correctness, multiculturalism, et al. Also, those who don’t understand freedom (e.g., Putin, the Islamic world and China) can more easily disregard freedom, can be cynical about it, when those who have it have abused it.
Freedom is a delicate commodity. As Thomas Jefferson observed, freedom isn’t free. And as Mark Twain noted, Americans have the right to do or say most anything they want and yet are possessed of the good sense not to exercise this right on many occasions (the good sense since Twain’s time, of course, has sadly gone into deep remission.)
Again, hope all is well with you across the pond. Take good care, my friend.
thomas_h says
Hey Welington, mon ami,
“Incorrect understanding of freedom. “
It is an interesting thought you are expressing. I would add that this loss of understanding together with the loss of understanding of tolerance, family, charity, justice is a direct result of losing the contact with the Natural Law. In the past centuries even millennia the contact was never direct. Only a very few philosophically minded were familiar with the actuality indeed the very concept, of the Natural Law (NL)
Fortunately, as the entire doctrine of the Church, indeed whole Christianity, rests on reality of the NL and faith in its divine origin, the Law established itself as the moral framework of our civilization indirectly through Christian religion.
As religion’s role in our life diminished so did the connection with the NL. Although some atheist thinkers maintained that the contact doesn’t have to be mediated by Christian doctrine, majority of atheist philosophers and, of course, all Christian philosophers pointed out the logical problems ensuing from upholding NL and denying reality of God. The NL, which once conditioned our thoughts, ideas and actions, retreated to the background and were expressed only as reflective habits and attitudes. With the unstoppable march of the materialist relativistic ideas, especially the idea of social construct of most fundamental and, until recently, very rarely questioned beliefs the bond to NL became progressively thinner and is about to snap completely.
The exit of the NL is what I meant by saying “something old got out” in my previous post. The empty space it left was quickly populated by ideologies and political quasi-religions all more or less idiotic and mad while presented with different degree of sophistication. These were things I called “something new (that) got in”. The remarkable – well, maybe not – thing is that they sneaked in without being noticed. We are made aware of their being completely alien to our established moral and logical judgment and common sense when we are suddenly confronted with most extreme cases of insanity presented as good sense, idiocy as prudence, injustice as fairness.
The question is what we need to do to reverse this process. How do we survive as civilization? What do we do?
Without reclaiming our unique civilizational identity and our faith in its goodness we are lost vis a vis an enemy with an intact civilizational identity and unshakable pride and faith in its superiority.
Oh boy, I didn’t intend it to be so long. Got carried away but still didn’t express adequately what I wanted to say.
Take care, Wellington. Best to you and yours.
Your friend from across the pond.

There are many irresponsible and self-hating “infidels” among us, enabling the enemy….
There is but a small number of Muslims in the United States–and it’s quite apparent that a small number can wield enough power over ABC to get its way. This demonstrates a complete lack of fortitude on the part of ABC.
Try to imagine what it would be like to have a large number of Muslims in the United States.
Yeah–a snake pit, for sure.

Remember the Nazis were a minority party that gained power by stealth.

Once upon a time there was this child raping, murderous, thieving, POS who went into a cave for 45 days. There he met a Jewish Angel named Gabriel who passed on to the child rapist the unholy Qur’an written in Arabic which the child rapist could not read because he was an illiterate child rapist. He went forth and murdered many people, stealing their stuff, and raping and enslaving their women and children. He made a deal with the Meccan polytheists, promising not to do to them which he hath done to everyone else that he had come upon. Well, He lied. He attacked them, killed them, stole their stuff, raped and enslaved their women and children, and claimed their temple which contained their kabba and 365 idols, one for each day of the year, as his own. Of the polytheists’ idols was one named Allah, the moon god. The child rapist chose Allah as his god and removed all the other gods. Wonder why all Islamic States’ flags have a crescent moon on them? Today, muslims claim that their holiest of holy places, which was built over 2000 years before the child rapist’s birth, was build by two Jewish brothers in expectation of the coming of the child rapist and his religion of Satan, known today as Islam. The child rapist’s name was Muhammad. The angel he met in the cave who he thought was the Jewish Angel, Gabriel, was, in fact, a Jinn, which is sort of an Angel of Satan. Islam: serving over 1.4 billion idiots and counting.

The Wolf, the Lamb and the Umma – Abu Nûh
Not so long ago, in the mysterious land of oh-eye-see,
there lived an ugly wolf hybrid known as Wolfmo.
Among his peers, he was distinguished by his big head,
his black coat, his long foul tongue and his loud howl.
Hence, he became the alpha male in his pack.
One day, as Wolfmo was on a hilltop searching for a refill
for his rumbling stomach, he saw a chubby young Jew lamb
with fluffy wool playing in a grassy glade. Wolfmo crept
down the hill to meet the charming little lamb, resolved
not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some sura
to justify to the lamb his RIGHT to eat him.
He thus addressed him: “Kid, last year you grossly insulted me.”
“Indeed,” bleated the lamb mournfully, “I was not then born.”
Then said Wolfmo, “You feed in my pasture.”
“No, good sir,” replied the lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.”
Again said Wolfmo, “You drink of my well.”
“No!” Exclaimed the lamb, “I never yet drank water,
for as yet my mother’s milk is both food and drink to me.”
“Well! I won’t remain supperless,” thought Wolfmo.
He seized the Jew lamb and ate him up, saying,
“So it must have been your Jewe mother!”
The mother powerlessly followed the dialogue.
What could this poor mother do when she saw her
beloved son being torn into pieces by the teeth of the wolf?
She knew she could not reclaim her son, but in the passion
of motherhood, she butted and rebutted Wolfmo.
Of course Wolfmo was not affected at all.
But his SUPERIORITY had been challenged!
In an instant jihad syndrome, his pupils dilated
and he raised the base of his tail, as in prayer.
“How dare this Jewe touch me!” thought he.
He howled with a long, smooth adhan sound,
projecting, “This is a terrorist! This is a terrorist!”
All other wolves howled, repeating Wolfmo’s words,
creating an illusion that there were many
condemning the act of the Jewe.
It is not strange that these howls were heard
from 10 miles away, but the strange thing is
how these howls echoed throughout the forest.
Whereby the left-winged parrots joined in
and repeated what Wolfmo said, saying,
“We condemn the Jewe’s butt against Wolfmo,
ALL the animals are against this BARBARIC act!”

Huck, there is actually a deeply disturbing Hadith that is very like your parable:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “A wolf caught a sheep and when the shepherd chased it, the wolf said, ‘who will be its guard on the day of wild beasts, when thee will be no shepherd for it except me?'”
commonsense says
McGoldrick, obviously white and of Irish or Scottish descent, insinuates that those who bear any hostility to Islam are racist. How tiresome this trope has become, and how utterly absurd, coming from a white European who is himself an adherent of this malevolent belief system that is transnational and transracial.

Dont muslim have their own media? Why are they always focusing on Hollywood, is it perhaps they are a little jelaous of success?

Over the years I have taken notice of how Hollywood and American and British television handle the problem of Islam — even if only when it figures peripherally in a story line of a movie or show.
I haven’t made a concerted study of it, though I did take the time and trouble to analyze on my blog at some length two important TV shows — the American spy thriller television series 24, and the British spy thriller television series MI-5. I found both of those seriously wanting and flawed in the way they handled the problem of Islamic terrorism (more often than not precisely because they weren’t even handling it at all).
Along the way, as I have chosen a show or movie to watch for my recreational enjoyment, I have often noticed (to the annoying frustration of said enjoyment) even when the issue figures only peripherally, it is ineptly handled and marred by PC MC.
Case in point: a relatively marginal yet still mainstream spy thriller that came out in 2012 titled Erased, starring Aaron Eckhart as a CIA assassin whose cover as a security analyst in Brussels is erased by his superiors, who then proceed to hunt him down to kill him and his daughter (who only belatedly learns that her father is in fact a spy). As father and daughter go into hiding on the run from the Evil White CIA (in collusion with some billionaire magnate who is profiting from weapons sales to Third World countries), the daughter tells her father that this boy she has been interested in from school, “Nabir”, a young very nice and polite Middle Eastern teenager, can help them. A subplot unfolds where Nabir’s Middle Eastern family (obviously Muslims though never spelled out) figures out ways to hide father and daughter from the Evil White CIA — and innumerable subliminal details are telegraphed to the viewer indicating how Ordinary, Nice, Polite, and Innocently Hapless these various Middle Easterners are.
So, instead of interweaving Muslims into the plot appropriately as at least part of the espionage problem depicted in the narrative, the scriptwriter and director choose to make the Muslims innocent, nice and helpful, while all the evil emanates from American government personnel and businessmen.
When movie after movie that is churned out of Hollywood telegraphs this type of subliminal message, unctuously massaging into the Body Politic a gently propagandistic reinforcement of the PC MC paradigm, it cannot but constitute a major dereliction of civic duty on the part of the filmmakers.

Wasn’t “The Sum of All Fears” even more unctuously bowdlerized? Weren’t Tom Clancy’s villains changed from islamists to Irish terrorists?
And yet, I don’t remember the IRA blowing anyone up for THAT; and they know a thing or two about blowing up stuff, they taught Gaddafi!

All this is true, Voegelinian—and I believe it has generally gotten even worse.
But even flawed films that feature Muslim “good guys” or imply that terrorism is committed by the proverbial “tiny minority of extremists” often enrage Muslims if they contain even a hint of the truth about Islam.
Recent films in the category would include the first Iron Man movie and Argo, which despite their frequent obfuscation contained relatively accurate depictions of the Taliban and the Mullah’s Iran.
I’m sure it would have been much the same with ABC’s “Alice of Arabia”—but between the no-doubt-ubiquitous portrayals of noble Muslims and clueless and/or unhelpful Westerners, some tiny inkling might have seeped out that with its terrible oppression of women and kidnapping of Infidel children, that there just *might* be something wrong with Islam…
And even that was too much for CAIR…
