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

Robert Spencer at Breitbart: NYPD Stands Down on Anniversary of Boston Marathon Bombing

Apr 16, 2014 12:35 pm By Robert Spencer

bill-de-blasio-hands-folded-apAt Breitbart today I discuss the latest capitulation to Leftist and Islamic supremacist enabling of jihad terror:

The New York Police Department announced Tuesday, the first anniversary of the Boston Marathon jihad attack, that it was disbanding a special unit that had been dedicated to watching for jihad terror threats in Muslim communities.

That’s good; after all, who ever heard of a Muslim staging a terror attack? And what better day to announce such news than the first anniversary of what New York officials evidently think is the last Islamic jihad attack ever on American soil?

As I show in my book Arab Winter Comes to America: The Truth About the War We’re In, this NYPD program had been under fire for several years for “profiling” Muslim communities in New York and New Jersey – that is, for operating on the assumption that communities of Muslims might be more likely to plot a terror attack than, say, communities of Amish, or bowling leagues.

Despite cries of rage from leftist and Islamic supremacist groups, this was a sensible assumption, born of long experience. Just last February, U.S. District Judge William Martini threw out a lawsuit against the program, explaining that “the police could not have monitored New Jersey for Muslim terrorist activities without monitoring the Muslim community itself… The motive for the program was not solely to discriminate against Muslims but to find Muslim terrorists hiding among the ordinary law-abiding Muslims.”

Indeed. The lawsuit was a craven attempt to end NYPD counter-terror efforts. If it had succeeded, it would have given a green light to Islamic jihad activity, with the NYPD handcuffed and unable to do anything to stop jihad terror plots. And that is exactly what New York Mayor Bill de Blasio did Tuesday when he ended the program, just as he had promised to do during his campaign last summer. In doing so, he declared: “This reform is a critical step forward in easing tensions between the police and the communities they serve, so that our cops and our citizens can help one another go after the real bad guys.”

Who the “real bad guys” were, de Blasio did not explain; however, as I show in Arab Winter Comes to America, in Obama’s military there have been several presentations depicting evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics as terror threats, so they may have been the groups de Blasio had in mind. In any case, de Blasio also did not explain why counter-terror efforts would create “tension” in Muslim communities full of loyal American Muslims who reject and abhor jihad terrorism as a twisting and hijacking of their peaceful religion.

The usual suspects were thrilled. The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has opposed virtually every counter-terror measure that has ever been proposed or enacted, and whose California chapter once distributed posters advising Muslims not to talk to the FBI, issued a press release “welcoming” the decision. Likewise thrilled was New York Palestinian leftist activist Linda Sarsour, who has said that “nothing is creepier than Zionism” and equated it with “racism.” Sarsour is also a frequent visitor to the Obama White House and has claimed that the jihad underwear bomber was a CIA agent — part of what she claims is a U.S. war against Islam.

What could be the result of accommodating such forces? The Boston bombing happened despite the fact that the Russians had warned the FBI that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was “a follower of radical Islam and a strong believer” and that he “had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country’s region to join unspecified underground groups.” Coming at a time when the Obama Administration was jettisoning counter-terror training materials of all mention of Islam and jihad in connection with terrorism, this was intelligence that FBI agents could not evaluate properly, or could not act upon properly even if they had wanted to.

The gutting of the NYPD counter-terror program is likely to have similar results. And given the current dominance of the politically correct paradigm, no matter how high the bodies are stacked after that attack, officials will not reexamine their core mistaken assumptions that enabled the attack to be successful. That unwillingness will, in turn, lead to yet more jihad. Unless there is a massive change in both parties in Washington on how they think the jihad threat should be dealt with, this will not end well.

    So the social experiment of being nice to Islamic fundamentalists is being repeated in New York city. I wonder if the results will be any different than in the UK, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Pakistan , Egypt etc where bombings murders intimidation and threats against nonmuslims and apostates is very real AND WORSENING!
    Wasn’t it Albert Einstein who said that endlessly repeating the same experiment and expecting a different outcomes is INSANE?

    The words Mr. Spencer highlights, from Judge Martini’s decision, are the simplest reason for paying special attention to ANY group — Muslims, Christians, Jews, Whirling Dervishes, etcetera.

    Perfectly logical …

    Well, now we know where deBlasio’s real loyalty lies — votes, no mater how many innocent lives those votes might cost.

    Muslim Jihadists are licking their chops over this insane decision by the dimwit dhimmi Marxist Mayor of New York City. If I were a New York City cop or fireman I would be looking for a job in rural Idaho because this capitulation to Islamic Jihad means people will die in NYC. Lots of them.

    For forty years DeBlasio aka Wilhelm( his legal name until 10 years ago) has supported the Sandanistas. Two foundational positions of the Sandanistas are the burning of synagogues and the ethnic cleansing of the JEWS of Nicaragua. The VIRULENT antisemitism of the Koran is matched by DEBLASIO’ s antisemitism which is obvious by his total support of the Sandanistas. He wants Muslims to be unleashed to burn New York ‘s synagogues just as he has supported the burning of synagogues in Nicaragua.

    “Unless there is a massive change in both parties in Washington on how they think the jihad threat should be dealt with, this will not end well.”

    Well stated, Robert. “ Just as the shoot hardens the plant.”

    Here again, as is so with far too many instances, not the least of them, the Omaha Tri-Faith project, showcase of contemporary Ansars (helpers) of Islam.
    Indeed.
    Just like the people of Medina during the time of “the Prophet”–those Ansars “welcomed and aided the Prophet and the Muhajirun (the Muslims emigrating from Mecca to Medina). (Glossary, Islamic Terms, Aisha Bewley.) So it is with these contemporary Ansars of Islam, aka, useful idiots, FACAI—Foolish American Contemporary Ansars of Islam.

    Hence, this assertion of Allah, thus, the same of the Messenger of Allah, thus the same of the believers in that man and those Qur’anic assertions.

    Herein related and elucidated by revered scholar, ibn Kathir. Done so under the Sub Title, “The Good News that Muslims will conquer the Known World” (I seriously doubt the US was thought of then … [dl]), “and ultimately the Entire World” (again, clearly, they excluded the US of A from that entirety…):

    Allah the Exalted … said, while delivering the glad tidings to the believers that the Messenger will trump over his enemies and the rest of the people of the earth, “He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth,” with beneficial knowledge …. Indeed, the Islamic Shariah …. “that He may make it superior to all religions,” all the religions of the people of the earth, Arabs and non-Arabs alike, whether having certain ideologies or being atheist or idolators [sic]”

    Muhammad is His Messenger and … He will grant him victory….

    “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And those who are with him are sever against believers, and merciful amongst themselves….There description … is like a seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that He may enrage the disbelievers with them….”

    Such is the parable that describes the Companions of Allah’s Messenger. They gave the Messenger aid, support, and victory, just as the shoot hardens the plant.

    (TAFSIR IBN KATHIR [ABRIDGED] V. 9, P.P 176 -181, Surah 48: 28, 29; ABRIDGED BY A GROUP OF SCHOLARS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF SHAYKH SAFIUR-RAHMAN AL-MUBARAKPURI, DARUSSALAM, Riyadh, Second Edition, 2002..)

      Bottom line. The Quran is a dark and evil fairy tale whispered into the ear of a psychotic Arab by an incoherent angel named Gabriel. No one know if Gabriel was passing messages from Allah, or his/her own. The Quran is actually, the book of Gabriel, edited by Uthman and later others. The biggest problem with this is basic….Anyone who actually believes that a spook from the astral ever visited Mahound with any messages from god, needs to have their head examined. Unfortunately there are not enough psychiatrists to deal with the sheer number of deluded people.

    No. Everyone knows that ISLAMIC JIHADIST TERRORISM comes from Seventh Day Adventist soup kitchens and Buddhist ashrams. The police should focus their search for terrorists in those place ALONE!

    “Unless there is a massive change in both parties in Washington…”

    There won’t be any change, they’re both in bed with the enemy.
    They must listen to the voice of the people, but the people is silent. The once proud free people of the West is now unable to say “enough is enough.”

    When trouble comes big time and not just in NYC-I hope there will be enough common sense to take the steps necessary and make the all out fight that is coming without question to help us regain America from these idiot appeasers and enablers of an enemy that seeks superiority over all nations. Deportation starts now to be proactive.

    One would think that if mosques are places of world takeover dreams fed by murderous scriptures, that maybe it would be a fair bet to watch the joints to keep an eye peeled for plots, bombers, shooters and stabbers.

    But no, our ruling elites are convinced that there is no substantial difference between Islam and other religions, that would be too obvious, too direct, too simple. Plus, doing so would make a guy wonder why we’re bringing into the country in the first lace.

    Just leave it that they’re misunderstood because they dress funny and all have beards. Meanwhile, they’re coming out of the mosques, and the NY cops know it damned well.
