Here is yet another sign of how deeply entrenched willful ignorance and fantasy-based policymaking are in Washington. Bin Bayyah condemned Boko Haram, so the Counter Terrorism Bureau promotes his website. They are either ignorant of or indifferent to the fact that he supported jihad attacks on U.S. soldiers. And given the atmosphere of the Obama State Department, it is unlikely that anyone cares even if they do know.
“State Dept Promotes Muslim Cleric Who Backed Fatwa on ‘Killing of U.S. Soldiers,’” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, May 23, 2014:
The State Department’s Counter Terrorism (CT) Bureau promoted on Friday a controversial Muslim scholar whose organization has reportedly backed Hamas and endorsed a fatwa authorizing the murder of U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
The CT bureau on Friday tweeted out a link to the official website of Sheikh Abdallah Bin Bayyah, the vice president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), a controversial organization founded by a Muslim Brotherhood leader “who has called for the death of Jews and Americans and himself is banned from visiting the U.S.,” according to Fox News.
Bin Bayyah is reported to have been one of several clerics who endorsed a 2004 fatwa that endorsed resistance against Americans fighting in Iraq, PJ Media reported in 2013, when Bin Bayyah met with Obama’s National Security Council staff at the White House.
The CT Bureau tweet linked to a press release on Bin Bayyah’s site condemning the kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian girls by the Boko Haram group.
However, Bin Bayyah himself has been known to back controversial causes.
Bin Bayyah has “urged the U.N. to criminalize blasphemy,” according to reports, and spoke “out in favor of Hamas,” the terror group that rules over the West Bank.
The cleric also issued a fatwa in 2009 “barring ‘all forms of normalization’ with Israel,” according to Fox.
The 2004 fatwa on Iraq stated that “resisting occupation troops” is a “duty” for all Muslims, according to reports….
The Obama administration came under fire in June 2013 for holding a meeting with Bin Bayyah at the White House….

Seems that Mobama and company simply cannot change their tune…
Yeah, traitors, keep promoting these jihad supporters and preachers!
Smear your faces with all that muzzie dung, and may you gag to death, you suckers!
citycat says
Blasphemy is free speech.
Islam can’t hack honest debate, on way.
Of course Islam, the preconceived trickster, knows this.
Give it rice on the volume.
Turn it up, turn it up, yo.
mortimer says
A kafir is ‘not permitted’ to speak about Islam…at all. A kafir may not even speak about Muslims, since saying something truthful about a Muslim is ‘slander’.
All free speech for kafirs is blasphemy. Only Muslims are authorized to speak in the Islamic society and the mullahs decide what is blasphemous as if they were all supreme court judges.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
All free speech for kafirs is blasphemy. Only Muslims are authorized to speak in the Islamic society…
And that authorization flows from the Holy Ko-Ran and Hah-Deaths, buttressed by centuries of doggerel from the Ulemic hair balls who are priests to Moslems.
Islam doesn’t brook criticism cuz the truth about it — the actual, easily verifiable, undeniable truth — is so bad that even Moslems don’t like being reminded of it. And letting that truth be told to blissfully ignorant Infidels is even worse for Moslems.
… willful ignorance and fantasy-based policymaking are in Washington
Fictive Reality = an untruth so widely accepted as true that it may as well be. We’re awash in FR nowadays when it comes to economics, the environment, sex (whoops: gender), race… and Islam. and the FRs interlock, one buttressing the other in a headlong race of our mass consciousness to the dubious goal of complete self-delusion and total unconsciousness.
This is a dangerous thing in all these areas. It’s especially dangerous and urgent when it comes to Moslems.
Alan says
What Ayn Rand said of the Communist bloc at the UN applies today for the Islamic bloc. It is a global tragedy that Obama has made the USA part of the Islamic bloc by adopting their anti-non-Muslim tactics. Americans were stupid to allow themselves to be conned into electing a tyrant twice over. The USA has sold the free world out to Islam and Sharia.
Charli Main says
yes, old white guy !!!!!
Islam´s greatest military triumph in 1400 years. The bloodless invasion of Western Christian lands, with not a shot fired.
Islam´s secret weapon—the Muslim victim card AKA the poor Muslim refugees and the poor Muslim asylum seekers.
Funny how all these poor suffering Muslims NEVER want refugee in Muslim “lands” surrounded by their Muslim brothers.
bettina says
Yes, Charlie. The State Dept. even offers lottery tickets to win visas to America! I know this first-hand, from a Moroccan acquaintance here in the Seattle area. Her husband won a visa for two about 15 years ago.
He’s a hate-filled man who spouts his anti-America propaganda at will, and is closely associated with other jihadists at the University of Washington.
I’d have loved to get him busted for hate speech but he’s covered by our first amendment. So he boomerangs it against us like the rest of those cockroaches do.
Jax Tolmen says
It will be a proud day indeed when the rest of the world wakes up to the very real threat that Islam poses. I do not see that as a mere dream, but a rapidly approaching reality. The war against the enemies of freedom is gradually swaying in our favour.
The only question is, will traitors such as Obama, Kerry, Cameron etc pay the price for their crimes. I foresee them getting off by merely claiming ignorance of the facts. Journalists should be held equally guilty for actively aiding the Islamists through their rhetoric and Leftist propaganda and obscuration of the facts surrounding Islam.
onisac says
What bothers me most is, that nobody has been Court Marshaled, or taken to court for treason. If these terrorists were Hitler’s Nazis and the U.S. treated them like they do this enemy. You can bet that someone would go to the Gallo’s.
How can the administration ignore this month after month, and year after year?..
kikorikid says
At the beginning of WWII I don’t think Churchill
would have had a couple of SS Nazis sitting at
the table in the “War Planning”room with notepads.
Obama has placed Muslim Brotherhood Operatives
throughout his Administration. Mohammed Elibary
was appointed as, Assistant Director of Security Policy, DHS.
The Fox is not guarding the henhouse.
The Fox has been put inside the henhouse.
When I think of this I can feel my soul being violently
shredded apart and the pieces flung to disparate
universes, forever lost. The Revolution will be
such a relief.
richard Sherman says
Churchill wisely stated: “Islam in a man is as dangerous as rabies in a dog”….
dumbledoresarmy says
Sorry to nitpick, but…it’s “court martialled”.
And I’ll just note, by the by, since I’ve seen other people using the term “marshal law”, that correct usage *isn’t* “marshal law” but “martial law”.
The “martial” part in both “court martial” and “martial law” is a Middle English word from Old French martial or Latin “martialis”, i e “of Mars”, the Roman god of war, and has the sense of pertaining to war or the military.
The word “marshal” is (so the Dictionary says) from “Middle English via Old French mareschal and Late Latin mariscalcus from Germanic, literally “horse servant”; hence the core sense of ordering or arranging.
mortimer says
Bin Bayyah is one of the 500 most influential mullahs. He supports suicide attacks against American soldiers in the East to stabilize the fledgling democracies.
Bin Bayyah gives the lie to the FANTASY that most Muslims are ‘moderate’.
richard Sherman says
The State Department including Kerry agrees with everything this sociopath has ever said.
mortimer says
The State Department’s ‘moderate Islam’ fantasy is crumbling.
kikorikid says
There is merit in the argument that there is
no “Moderate Islam” just,simply,and only,
ISLAM. Today’s Jihadist is one who, the day before,
was a “Moderate” and “decided” to follow the
Imams call to Jihad. Much the same as holding
a firearm and , with but a thought,
turning it into a weapon.
richard Sherman says
Moderate islam is an oxymoron.
Uri says
Bin Bayah is a feygeleh!
bettina says
Uri, does feygeleh as you use it mean putz or homosexual?

I especially don’t trust anyone who thinks Muhammed (that dead mass murderer, thief , liar, misogynist and demon possessed pedophile) was a “perfect man”
bettina says
To Spielman — Indeed, I spit on those believers!
PAthena says
I believe that the word “Allah” in Arabic means “God.”
Jay Boo says
Hmmmm
a touch of Ismail equivalence slipping in
John C. Barile says
Allah is used to denote “God” by Christian Arabs–please correct me If I’m wrong.

Good guess!

Transmaster says
The EU is in deep trouble. It started with countries like Spain, and Greece who where leeching off the value of the Euro to support their bankrupt economies. Then the influx of ethic and racial groups with no interest in assimilating in the the local culture. To the horror of the leftist baboons in Brussels conservative anti union political power is growing in the EU, and the UK. Nicolas Sarkozy is already calling for individual countries in the UE to take back their sovereignty and to end the visa free borders which are a free ride to people from the 3rd world into the social welfare systems that countries like France, and the UK have bankrupting them. In the UK as you have read here in Jihad Watch has developed ethnic, religious, and racial gulags, as has France, and all of the other members of the EU. Europeans recent this, and right wing, anti EU, anti immigration, nationalist parties are starting to make big inroads in the politics of the region. Islam can no longer work in the dark even though politicians are cow-towing to them the local people are resenting it more and more. Just look at the gains the UK Independence Party had made in this weeks elections things are looking up.
pongidae rex says
Europe is in a race with the devil. Sure, more and more Europeans are slowly waking up to the Death March Europe is on, but more and more Muslims in Europe are voting as a single bloc in support of continuing mass-immigration policies and criminalizing criticism of Islam or even reporting on the daily criminal outrages that are occuring. It may already be hopeless for Europe, regardless of a last flicker of sanity in the native electorate.
Jay Boo says
The Ismail nuttiness is creeping in
Jay Boo says
Here is a friendly reminder to any recent Islam converts.
We realize that you truly looking forward to flaunt your first piety prayer display.
Feelings of supremacist self-righteous indignation are now rushing through your veins.
It will pass.
The Serpent of Satan will soon tighten his filthy slimy grip.
Remember well those promising words of the imam, “The best decision you will ever make”, as you begin to witness Islam’s hateful EMPTINESS.
gravenimage says
State Dept promotes Muslim cleric who backed fatwa on “killing of U.S. soldiers”
………………………….
Suicidal madness.
This is also another example that pious Muslims opposing *individual* Jihad groups like the Muslim Brotherhood or Boko Haram *cannot* automatically be assumed to oppose Jihad in general.

Off topic to thomas, champ, and others:
I haven’t had enough time to read most comments threads in the last couple of days, and just went back and noticed a long thread in which “Geordie” was disrupting with his irrationally prickly hostility and anti-Christian animus. I added a couple of comments on that just now, and wondered: has he reared his head since then anywhere else?
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/05/us-muslim-groups-wont-move-to-excommunicate-boko-haram/comment-page-1#comment-1067377
Mirren10 says
I haven’t seen any comment from Geordie since his sad and embarrassing little post; ”I leave it to you, the members of this forum to pass judgement” 🙂
Hope you’re keeping well, voegelinian.
Champ says
Hi Voegelinian …I read your comments from that other thread and thank you–those are great comments!
Take care, my friend 🙂
Uri says
Yeshua us was a liberal. He played fast and loose with the Torah. Picking fruit and eating it on Sabbath day. Could have got himself killed right there. And his smart ass attitude
bettina says
Voegel, I followed your link and posted back to Geordie about Israel and its friendship with today’s Christians — leaving the pope out of the equation, of course. I refer you back to your link above.
voegelinian says
Thanks Mirren, bettina, and champ. I saw the comments about Geordie in the other thread.
I haven’t been keeping up with this “Sayyed” character much. One of his comments here certainly appears on the surface to be robustly anti-Islam; it’s a shame he has to ruin that with his other pathologies.
By the way, his comment to me about the impossibility of being liberal and Christian reflects the Mohammedan mentality, I’d say, in which it is true one cannot be a Muslim and a liberal at the same time. “A Muslim can leave Islam, but Islam may not leave the Muslim.”
voegelinian says
bettina, you’ve mentioned you are from Morocco. You might be interested in Andrew Bostom’s long essay about the Moroccan Jew put to death in the 19th century:

gravenimage says
Yes. Voegelinian—and Bostom’s excellent book, “The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism”, has the 1860 painting by Alfred Dehodencq of the brave Sol Hachuel gracing its cover:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Legacy-Islamic-Antisemitism-History/dp/1591025540
voegelinian says
gravenimage, remember that JW thread where Semeru generated a lot of needless static about that painting?
gravenimage says
Sayyed (Egyptian ex-Muslim atheist) [really, the old Ismail Mohamed] wrote, replying to Voegelinian:
Only the irreligious can be true full-fledged Liberals—you, as a Christian, can’t be… Bottom line: you can’t be both a Christian and a Liberal.
……………………………
What utter rot. The original classic liberal was Francis Hutcheson—an 18th century Scot who was a theology student and a son of a clergyman who went on to teach natural religion, morals, jurisprudence, and government at the University of Glasgow.
He was an enormously influential figure of the Enlightenment—he was also a devout Christian.

The obama administration also rubs shoulders with the controversial muslim brotherhood! …hey it’s clear that obama supports islamic supremacist’s and their ilk.
richard Sherman says
The foundational antisemitism of the state department has been clear since it opposed the entrance of St Louis and sent 300 Jews to die..that was followed by supporting an arms embargo of Israel from 1948 for over 20 years….hating Jews is a requirement to work at the US STATE department…
