Transcript of the above video, from Progressives Today:
We have these peddlers. These Islamophobes who make it their career now peddling hate. We have Robert Spencer… and he’s with Pamela Geller who gets access to media. It’s interesting because Muslim people are a group of people you can vilify and there isn’t an outrage. She put up these posters in subways and things like that, that say, “In the war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.
Here is my response:
Long before the international media and Michelle Obama woke up to the evil of Boko Haram, the only people calling attention to their evil and violent actions were those of us who were accused of being “racist” for opposing jihad terror and Islamic supremacism. The ridiculousness of equating resistance to jihad terror with white privilege was epitomized recently by Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white man, lecturing Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a black Somali ex-Muslim, about her “Islamophobia.” Who was the bearer of “white privilege” in that exchange? And in general, who speaks for the black and brown victims of jihad terror? Only the people who are being charged with “white privilege.” This shows the absurdity of the entire Leftist perspective on jihad terror.
And here is Pamela Geller’s:
It is absurd to mention me and my work in the context of “white privilege,” and shows how deeply dishonest the entire “Islamophobia” initiative really is. Is it “white privilege” to speak out in defense of the victims of Boko Haram’s jihad in Nigeria? The world knows about the abducted schoolgirls, but for years I was one of the very few people who were chronicling their numerous atrocities, and defending their victims. Is it “white privilege” to stand up for the victims of the Westgate Mall jihad massacre in Nairobi? Or the Mumbai jihad massacre in India? Or the thousands of victims of the jihad in Thailand?
This is a ridiculous attempt to perpetuate the myth that opposing jihad terror is “racist.” What race is jihad terror? What race is hijacking planes and flying them into buildings? What race is abducting schoolgirls? By condemning opposition to jihad as “white privilege,” the people at the white privilege conference were aiding and abetting murder and oppression.

The progressive dhimmi stooges must oppose anti-Jihadists because they expose the biggest liberal lie ever to be perpetrated on the world: all cultures are equal.

And in India it will be called”Hindu privilege” for resisting Muslim terrorists and calling them what they are!! Imagine, India which has been subject of Islamic invasions, murders , rapes, looting, pillage, … by the so called peaceful followers of a peaceful religion not being to call spade a spade – but that is happening in India. There are plenty of Hindu revisionist historians who are calling the Mughal rule as beneficial to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains…. More than 80 million of Hindus and others were butchered by these “peaceful” invaders!!!
Just within an hour NYTimes calling the victory of Narendra Modi and BJP as a victory of “Hindu Party “- never mind that there are several Muslim leaders in the BJP. Morons never miss a chance!!
sidney penny says
New York Times could not get away from the negative slurs.It is in every report.
Notice the “BUT”
“But it also worries many people. He is blamed by many of India’s Muslims for failing to stop bloody religious riots that raged through his home state in 2002, leaving more than 1,000 people dead. Others fear …”
“In the end, Mr. Modi’s victory will be seen largely as a function of his opponents’ weakness, said the historian Ramachandra Guha.”
But he did not win- the opposition lost.
Yes the win was nothing to do with Modi-It is the opposition which lost-Really,what cheek does does this Guha guy have.
Are the Democrats a Black party?Most Blacks support it?
NO NYT, Not a Hindu party but an Indian party.An “Indian First” party
What is wrong with Ellen?It is a Nationalist party .
Not a Hindu nationalist party.
Not right wing.
Get it right!

Tradewinds says
No such thing as “islamophobia.” Islam deserves to be detested and reviled for the death cult that it is.
“islamophobia” – Heh! The Muslims are such juvenile mental defectives. I think their collective intellectual age is about 10. Just like the girls the islamic pedophiles “marry.”
shrugger says
“Islamophobia” does in fact mean something. It means the same thing as “Check your Privilege”. In other words – “SHUT UP!!”
They don’t have any other meaning.

“In the war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.”
The difference between the civilized and the savage, between us and them:

Somehow, I think the “White Privilege” conference is a smokescreen.
The “White Privilege” leftist academics don’t care any more about white privilege, than the leftist gays care about gays, the leftist socialists care about the working class, or the leftist organizers care about blacks or browns.
It’s a matter of power and envy. The leftist academics are eloquent and lettered, as was Trotsky. Like Troksky, who was thoroughly outmaneuvered by Lenin when it came to party infighting, the leftists believe they have the true right to wield power, not some grimy entrepreneur who spends his time doing the actual work and satisfying actual customers.
The strategy of the leftist intellectuals is to collect power in the government, and then invent all sorts of strategies to bring that power to themselves. The academics have trained generations of drone bureaucrats to man the offices of power, but always beholden to their intellectual mentors, the leftist professors. Those unable to really succeed in academia, or who are too impatient, develop approaches such as the “white privilege” conferences.
In the US of today, the thought that any skilled person is held back because of race is laughable. Successful blacks know this as well as whites and Asians, except for those blacks who are gaming the system of race privileges.
All of this is to say that it might be somewhat counterproductive to even play on these grounds. Anyone who truly thinks that dark skin is a disadvantage, when combined with true skills, is deluded and probably beyond all help. The people who attend these conferences simply don’t care about the presented issues. They are playing a game with a focus to their own success.
It’s true that blacks have as large a stake in the success of counter-jihad as any other group. Muslims are tribal, if anything, and blacks can expect to be left out of any power-sharing arrangement, once they have served their purpose. But, blacks are not interested in researching the true Islam, any more than the average white voter is.
My final thought is to take the issues being presented at travesties such as the conference not very seriously. Have fun in dealing with it, but don’t think you’re going to change anyone’s mind using the issue of racial privilege. It’s a will’o’the’wisp designed to allow people to pretend to deal with issues while their minds run completely on automatic drive.
rulierose says
outstanding comment. I think you’ve nailed it about how the privilegistas are motivated by envy.
equality of outcome is what they’re aiming for, and it offends them that there are rich people in the world when some are poor. well, I should rephrase that: it offends them that there are rich CONSERVATIVE people in the world. they really like rich progressives. the Koch Brothers are evil, but George Soros is simply a humanitarian.
(btw, thank you also for chunking your comment into readable grafs! so many people do not…sadly…)

RONALDB IS PROVEN WRONG IN DALLAS!!!!
“But, blacks are not interested in researching the true Islam, any more than the average white voter is.”
Tomorrow, Saturday May 17, in Dallas, there will be a March Against the Persecution of Christians in Muslim Countries. It will be led by a BLACK minster and sponsored by a BLACK church. The crunching sound you hear is me eating my words.
But, eat your heart out. Through sheer serendipity, I get to see Robert Spencer speak in person. I never expected to be that lucky..
http://rescuechristians.org/shoebat-speak-dallas-rally-persecuted-christians/
As a bit of comedy relief, CAIR says Muslims would join the protest against the persecution of Christians in Muslim countries, if only the rally sponsors would dump their Islamophobic speakers.
http://boston-massachusetts.us/faith-leaders-to-protest-against-hate-speakers-at-dallas-rally/
Yeah. Right. Muslim protesters sponsored by CAIR attending a march against persecution of Christians in Muslim countries. All the organizers had to do was dump Robert Spencer and the other speakers.

I know what you mean, Ronald. Sometimes it *feels good* to be proven wrong—I know I feel that way when something like this happens!
Hope you are doing well.

Speaking of racism….
Koran (chapter and verse given for proof)
047.004 – Beheadings
033.052 – Gang Rape of female ‘infidels’
005.033 – Crucifixions
008.067 – Treason
033.061 – Genocide “without mercy”
005.041 – Racism….
005.041 O Messenger! let not those grieve thee, who race each other into unbelief: whether it be among those who say “We believe” with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews,- men who will listen to any lie [[This is Racism – It is hate speech]]
Who’s this “conference” club? They’re self appointed – and they need to be taken to court – a court that has a fair judge. To press charges for their racist and dangerous teachings.
Freedom of religion never included the right to incite the masses into violence. To yell fire in a crowded theater – when there is no fire – would be a lesser crime. I pray to hear those words come from a judge. It will be a day that I will always remember – as a good day.
Crusader Prime GT says
Well at least we know the Terrorist’s name.
Bezelel says
Same Ole stuff that accused the Serbs of genocide. The demons are trying to demonize their opposition. There’s a long history of islam committing acts of violence and threating more violence if anyone dares to retaliate. islam declared friggin war a long time ago. Believe it or not,do something or not,we are at war with islam, like it or not. Any verbiage used by islam is nothing but tactical propaganda.islam has an agenda, global domination. I refuse to sign up for that shiite.
Kepha says
“Anti-racism” is quickly becoming the last refuge of the scoundrel.
This sickens me. I have known too many fine people of too many colors to accept that one’s “race”, apparently as defined by a peculiar set of early 20th century anthropologists, shoulde determine one’s place in society. Yes, I admit there were terrible problems with racial discrimination in America’s past. But the ease with which “anti-racism” is thrown around by people steeped in rotten ideologies bothers me more.
I’ll bet that if you press some of these “anti-racists” on the head over why the Communist revolutions failed to unleash the unprecedented productive forces promised by Karl Marx, they’ll say it’s all the fault of the backward Slavic Uentermensch, the primitive Asiatic Chinese, and how the flight of the white middle classes (never mind the Afro-Cubans who brought us Santeria) left poor Fidel, Raul, and Che with nothing but the black and mulatto dregs.
I won’t burn the Qur’an. It’s too important for the understanding of the flow of world history. But I’m just tempted to burn the Autobiography of Malcomb Hex by Axel Leyhai.
mortimer says
Cultural Marxists decided that white males (those horrible people who die to defend freedom from tyrants and enslavers) are the ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK.
Oppressing white males and making them extinct seems to be what all Marxists and Leftists have in common.
Myxlplik says
If this leftist was abducted but 1,000 sex starved jihadists and passed around as a Houri he would apologize for forgetting the lube.
Reality Check says
Go, Robert and Pamela, go! Some day your opponents will be ashamed of having ever been against you and will be begging you to forget it all!

ah, um, er, ah, um ! What a total wanker.
bill says
What is ‘white privilege’ anyway? I was brought up a socialist and am a third generation socialist. My grandfather was one of the founding members of the
British Labour Party. I was also brought up to consider all people equal regardless of race. I honestly do not do not get the position of these leftists today , my explanation is that they have been tainted by liberalism. I have a Liberal friend and I have always thought him very naive. It is idealism unalloyed by common sense and an ability to face facts. I am sure my grandfather and my father would not be calling critics of Islamofascism islamophobes if they were alive today. They were men of high principle but practical as well.
Sarah L Nield says
Bill, thank you! You said it better than the messy attempt I made to explain why Socialism is for the worker and not ideological at all.
Yes, Liberals are naive. They read from this internalised script and if they are forced off it, they are lost and confused and wander off.
Your granddad is a hero as far as I am concerned, and I’m sure if he had seen the new Left’s disgusting pandering to the reactionaries of the Islamic faith poisoning the well men like him dug, he would have been sickened.
My mum too is Labour to the bone (labelled Red in the past) and she too has been stunned at what the movement has morphed into.

“White Privilege Conference” says resisting jihad terror is racist, bashes Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller
………………………..
Because what could be more indicative of “white privilege” than opposing the abduction and rape of hundreds of *black African girls*? sarc/off
What crap. This is not about “race”—it is all about ugly ideology.
They just hope to scare off otherwise decent Infidels frightened of being considered “racists”.
What race is Islam again?
