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

“Moderate” Boston imam Suhaib Webb: Hirsi Ali “idiot,” secularism “lunatic ideology”

Apr 11, 2014 9:50 pm By Robert Spencer

The Imam Suhaib Webb of the Islamic Society of Boston is a renowned “moderate” and — of course — a darling of the mainstream media. The hopelessly clueless and compromised Boston Globe reporter Lisa Wangsness wrote an egregious puff piece on him in May 2013, right after the Boston Marathon jihad murders perpetrated by two members of the Islamic Society of Boston.

But in this video from Americans for Peace and Tolerance shows him openly calling for an Islamic state, dismissing secularism as a “radical lunatic ideology,” which means the dismissal of the idea that the government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed, and the embracing of the idea that the law of Allah constitutes the only legitimate constitution and government. He also calls Ayaan Hirsi Ali an “idiot,” and so in light of the looming anniversary of the Boston Marathon jihad bombing, the media’s fulsome praise for this Islamic supremacist, and the recent news about Ayaan Hirsi Ali being victimized by Hamas-linked CAIR, which Webb lauds here and for which he is speaking, that it would be a good time to post this video, which is from last October.

    HELLO IBRAHIM HOOPER — ARE YOU THERE? HELLO? HELLO IBRAHIM?

    PICK UP THE ISLAM TRUTH DISASTER PHONE IMMEDIATELY !!!

    THERE IS A HUGE PUBLIC RELATIONS PROBLEM YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN.

    THEN FLY TO BOSTON AND GIVE SUHAIB WEBB A SPANKING….

    But seriously, Jihadwatch patriots: here is a perfect example of the IQ-challenged imams who usually hide under rocks.

    Apparently Webb is listening to Western comedy-club acts — those guys who specialize in delivering the “zinger” laugh line.

    He is not devoting nearly enough time memorizing Muhammad’s advocacy of “kill the infidel”….

      Yes, actually, anyone (male) can be an imam. If he is accepted by his initial muslim audience, he can carry on saying whatever his audience will accept.

    Lol. At 1:20, “Islam of the sixth century”? Webb must be taking Islamic history lessons from Reza Aslan.

    “Secularism is a radical lunatic ideology” says the guy who says he loves CAIR.

    0:58 -he complains that it’s very hard to find a place in the world today where the leadership rules by “divine authority.”

    Recent phone call to Massachusetts reveals that …

    Liberals like marathons too.
    Even some liberals in Massachusetts are becoming disgusted with the cesspool ideology responsible for Boston Marathon jihad murders.

    Islam is falling apart and is dangerous as it grasps at anything to hide its shame-face.

    ‘Holy power in politics’ means beheading critics of Islam.

    Boston Globe is defending this Bronze Age political system?? Huh? Even after the Marathon Bombings and subsequent murders and shoot out?

    Will Boston Globe defend this supremacist calling for an Islamic dictatorship and the removal of free speech?

    Webb is not even a sleeper. He is openly calling for holy war against Americans and the constitution.

    Boston Globe reporters are on their own planet. ISLAM IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.

    Lunatic: affected with LUNACY : insane

    Lunacy: intermittent insanity once believed to be related to phases of the MOON

    “Lunacy” derived from “Lune (moon)”

    Lune: a CRESCENT-SHAPED FIGURE formed on a sphere or plane by two arcs intersecting at two points.

    Guess which ideology has a crescent-shaped figure as its sacred symbol???

    • mortimer says

      Apr 12, 2014 at 9:47 am

      The Islamic symbol combines the archer’s bow devise of Qos the Arabian god of war and hunting with the star of Venus or Al-‘Uzzá, the Arabian goddess of fertility and spouse of Qos.

      Al-‘Uzzá was also called ‘Chabar’ (the great) or ‘Allat-al-Chabar’. Mohammed using a pun, twisted this into ‘Allahu Akbar’, meaning ‘Allah is greater than Allat’.

      The Islamic symbol is polytheistic.

      • Jay Boo says

        Apr 12, 2014 at 10:21 am

        Islamists shout “God is greatest” like a “Heil Hitler” praise.
        Upturned hands display are the same as a Nazi stiff arm parade.
        Prayer rug thugs, like SA brown shirts try to impose untruth.
        Exaggerated bows are just as pretentious as steps of a goose.
        Honor killing death squad,
        Adolph would be so proud.

    Ah the great political system of the sixth….er seventh century Medina where slavery (sexual and plain) was rampant, critics were killed summarily on the leader’s command (asma bint marwan, abu afak) and whole minorities were ethnically cleansed (banu quraiza)…

    Looks like a ‘revert’. The part about “radical lunatic ideology” is typical Mohammedan projection.

    • mortimer says

      Apr 12, 2014 at 9:04 am

      Psychological projection is the act or technique of defending yourself against unpleasant, immature or neurotic impulses by denying their existence in oneself, while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is rude may accuse other people of being rude.

    CAIR is proof that Allah needs all the partners it can get. While it may be that in Jannah Allah has no partner, but on planet Earth it has lots of them.
    Webb is obviously educated beyond his intelligence. I wonder if he is any relation to Jack? ‘Just the facts mam’…Suhaib doesn’t seem to have very many of them.
    ‘Loving CAIR’ is quiet blasphemy. He could like care, and appreciate CAIR, but only Allah deserves his love. Allah is selfish, once he captures your love, he does not want the pious sharing it with others. In fact, he would consider that a betrayal. No one who betrays Allah gets into Jannah. They are assigned duty in the furnace room.

    “The best response to these grotesque phenomena (ie. the excesses of totalitarian religious systems) is not the chimera of secular dictatorship, but rather the defense of secular pluralism, including the right not to believe or be compelled to believe. It has now become an urgent responsibility, a matter of survival.” (Christopher Hitchens)

    • Defcon 4 says

      Apr 12, 2014 at 2:28 pm

      As is usual w/libtarded atheists, Hitchens pulls his punches by not referring to pisslam, instead making it seem as if all religions are the problem — which is why amoral atheists, by-and-large, have fuck all to say about the ongoing slaughter, rape and persecution of people of other faiths by musl0nazis.

      • bernie says

        Apr 12, 2014 at 9:25 pm

        He (Hitchens) did specifically refer to the Iranian and Taliban regimes, but he also mentioned the church-sanctioned apartheid in South Africa, the “Angka” of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, and other such things.

        • Defcon 4 says

          Apr 13, 2014 at 3:06 am

          Do you mean the current apartheid that persecutes whites? Or the former one that persecuted blacks? Or both?

    Webb is a convert. Hooper is a convert. John Brennan is a convert. Has anyone done any research into why otherwise seemingly intelligent people who have not been brainwashed from birth would convert to a genocidal death cult?

    • Jan says

      Apr 12, 2014 at 12:48 pm

      ‘Intelligent” doesn’t mean moral. One can be ‘intelligent’ in the sense of having an above average IQ, and still lack a moral sense.

      These people convert to the vile cult of islam because it’s foul tenets appeal to them.

      Fools, of course, convert because they are fools, and the vicious and violent thug types because it sacralises their most base desires.

      Sex and male dominance. Wives must submit even if cooking when the husband gets a boner, women are to be subjugated and are virtual slaves to men. Look at the eyes of all of these converts. Their eyes have a maniacal look coming from them. These are crazed, death cult zombies.

    extremely dangerous individual…sinister, scary, frightening…i can imagine some enthusiastic “leftists” joining his chorus with vigour and red neckerchiefs and fists brandished “ho ho ho” yes indeed, a rush of something akin to adrenalin/sexual potency…very dangerous individual…why just last night i had to remind my husband that islam is a religion, an ideology, not a race (note this guy looks like a five-oclock-shadow young “american”), as he said he met a “muslim” woman on a walk one day with her dog…he thought she was a “muslim” because she had the appearance of a turkish background, this shows the level of “ignorance” and i don’t mean that as a pejorative but rather an observation, amongst ordinary folks, that they don’t have it clarified that islam is in fact a political ideology, not a race, because they (ordinary folks) are oppressed by the constant browbeating of the liberal media about “islamophobia”, anyways, i told him, she couldn’t possibly be a “muslim” because she had a dog she was walking, and “muslims” believe dogs are unclean, more than likely she was a turkish christian, or perhaps even an athiest. anyway, this guy with the five oclock shadow speaking in the vid/clip calls ayan hirsi ali an “idiot” when he is in fact a most useful one.

    “Moderate” Boston imam Suhaib Webb: Hirsi Ali “idiot,” secularism “lunatic ideology”
    …………………………………….

    And why is Ayaan Hirsi Ali “an idiot”? Lately, she has dared to speak out against FGM and “Honor Killing”—how “dare” she?

    And note that Suhaib Webb doesn’t say that atheism is a “lunatic ideology”—bad enough—but says that about *secularism*.

    This is not a small point of semantics. *Most* Westerners are “secularists” in the public sphere—that is, they firmly believe in the “separation of church and state”, even if they are devoutly religious people.

    If Suhaib Webb considers secularism to be a “lunatic ideology”, then what is he advocating? *Shari’ah law*.

    Here he is, calling for the imposition of Shari’ah on his web site:

    http://www.suhaibwebb.com/tag/shariah-law/

    Do those who laud him as a “moderate” understand this? Of course not…

        Despair is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

        In what conceivable way can a comment like the one you just posted be of any assistance at all?

        If it inspires despair – and therefore paralysis – in others who come here, you will quite possibly *create* the situation that you claim to deplore.

        And why feed the triumphalism of the *Muslims* who read over our shoulders?

        I am sure they lick their chops and gloat with unholy glee whenever they read comments like the one you have just posted.

        ……………………………….

        Actually, most of those in the West during the 1930s utterly failed to recognize evil in the form of the Fascists.

        I remember how shocked I was when I first started to learn about this.

        There was a laudatory article in National Geographic about Nazi Germany in the 1930s. There was a network of Hitler Youth camps *in the US*. The pro-Nazi German-American Bund had a huge meeting in Madison Square Garden.

        Many ordinary Britons and Americans respected Mussolini and Hitler and thought aspects of Fascism should be adopted in the free West.

        Those who warned about the threat of Fascism were dismissed as “hysterical”, or even condemned as anti-German “war mongers”.

        Chamberlain’s sickening appeasement did not take place in a vacuum.

        It took *a lot* to wake up the free West, which was deeply enmired in denial.

        This is both depressing and oddly heartening—depressing, because it seems we failed to recognize evil many times. Heartening, because the times we live in are *not* uniquely clueless.

        There may be hope yet, Defcon 4—don’t despair.

    Think liberals have watched this and have figured up that that freedom in the Muslim world and the secular world is “just a little bit” different? Yes, I know the answer: No they have not and they will not and the liberals will always blame us because we are racists, bigots, and haters of Islam and women.

    Time to start fighting for real against liberals and Islam is NOW. I mean REAL fight.
