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

Bergdahl: “I am ashamed to be an American…The horror that is America is disgusting.”

Jun 2, 2014 3:37 pm By Robert Spencer

bowe-bergdahlThis account completely coincides with the claims of his fellow soldiers that he deserted. And given the Taliban’s claim that Bergdahl is a Muslim, and the apparent fact that his father ia a convert to Islam, although the family is identified as Calvinist in this article, could it be that the gag order enforced on his fellow soldiers was meant to obscure the treason of a Muslim soldier?

“The bizarre tale of America’s last known POW,” by Michael Gartland, New York Post, May 31, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the last known American POW, was freed after five years in captivity — an ordeal that began and ended in Afghanistan under a shroud of mystery.

The Taliban turned over Bergdahl Saturday morning to US special forces in exchange for five notorious Islamic militants who had been held at Guantanamo Bay and will be sent to Qatar, where they will stay for a year under the terms of the trade.

At least one of the prisoners, ranking Taliban leader Khairullah Khairkhwa, had direct ties to Osama bin Laden.

Bergdahl was picked up by helicopter in western Afghanistan, near the Pakistan border….

Soon after the capture, Taliban commander Mulvi Sangeen claimed a drunken Bergdahl was snatched while he stumbled to his car in the Yousaf Khel district of Paktika.

The US military called that a lie, and in one of the videos taken during his captivity, Bergdahl himself said he was captured while lagging behind a patrol.

But in the weeks before his capture, Bergdahl had made murky statements that suggested he was gravitating away from the soldiers in his unit and toward ­desertion, a member of his platoon told Rolling Stone.

“He spent more time with the Afghans than he did with his platoon,” former Spc. Jason Fry told the magazine in 2012.

As a teen, the home-schooled son of Calvinists took up ballet — recruited to be a “lifter” by “a beautiful local girl,” Rolling Stone reported, “the guy who holds the girl aloft in a ballet sequence.” The strategy worked: Bergdahl — who also began dabbling in Budd­hism and tarot card reading — soon moved in with the woman.

Even as a teen, he could fire a .22-caliber rifle with precision.

At age 20, he traveled to Paris and started learning French in hopes of joining the French Foreign Legion.

His application was rejected, and he was devastated, the magazine reported.

Bergdahl would drift for years, working mainly at a coffee shop near home. He briefly considered moving to Uganda to help villagers being terrorized by militias before deciding on a different ­adventure.

“I’m thinking of joining the Army,” he told his folks after ­already having signed up.

Bergdahl’s dream was to help Afghan villagers rebuild their lives and learn to defend themselves, his dad told the magazine.

“The whole ‘COIN’ thing,” Bob explained, referring to America’s strategy of counter-insurgency. “We were given a fictitious picture, an artificially created picture of what we were doing in ­Afghanistan,” the dad said.

Bowe Bergdahl would detail his disillusionment with the Afghanistan campaign in an email to his parents three days before he went missing.

“I am sorry for everything here,” he wrote. “These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid.”

Bergdahl also complained about fellow soldiers. The battalion commander was a “conceited old fool,” he said, and the only “decent” sergeants, planning to leave the platoon “as soon as they can,” told the privates — Bergdahl then among them — “to do the same.”

“I am ashamed to be an American. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools,” he concluded. “I am sorry for everything. The horror that is America is disgusting.”

Bob Bergdahl responded in an email: “OBEY YOUR CONSCIENCE!”

One night, after finishing a guard-duty shift, Bowe Bergdahl asked his team leader whether there would be a problem if he left camp with his rifle and night-vision goggles — to which the team leader replied “yes.”

Bergdahl then returned to his bunker, picked up a knife, water, his diary and a camera, and left camp, according to Rolling Stone.

The next morning, he was reported missing, and later that day, a drone and four fighter jets ­began to search for him….

      Although, a lot of ‘information speculation’ is as yet, somewhat unreliable, I would guess he has mental issues.
      In fairness, we don’t know what personal conflicts may have existed within his unit prior to this and we should not assume that every hearsay story is actual fact.

    By now, every American soldier has got the message: Muslims in the US army are unreliable. They can easily change sides. They must immediately remove Muslims from combat roles and place them in support roles only. A moratorium on recruiting Muslims must be immediately demanded, then, politicians should demand new screening policies to keep Muslims from joining the military.

      In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

      Unless a muslim has openly renounced islam and openly embraced an alternative way of thinking, i.e., Christianity, etc, there is no way we should ever trust any of them–not even the “peaceful” ones! Islam is demonic and muslims are taught to LIE to non-muslims!

      But—-but—–but Mortimer, that would be nasty discrimination against all those ” peaceful” “tolerant” “moderate” Muslims, who get all the blame for the actions of the ” few” Muslims that have misunderstood and misinterpreted the kumbya Koran, Hadiths and Suras.
      Remember, that for the last 1400 years, Islam has proved itself to be the Religion of Peace.

      Has it been proven that he is a Muslim or is this conjecture?

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 3, 2014 at 12:09 pm

        Right now, it’s conjecture, Jay Boo—but there’s a lot of ‘smoke’ there.

        His father is quoting Islamic scripture, sporting a long, unkempt beard, and ending his Tweets to the Taliban vowing to get the rest of the Jihadists in Guantanamo freed with “ameen”.

        The Taliban claims that Bowe Bergdahl himself is a Muslim. If this was all, I would probably discount it as either false or a conversion under duress—but with the situation with his father and the stories from his fellow soldiers of his actually seeking out the Taliban, it’s looking more and more likely that we just traded five dangerous Jihadists for a Muslim.

    Bergdahl: “I am ashamed to be an American…The horror that is America is disgusting.”
    So, I guess he won’t be wanting to stay long then? I’m wondering why he came back? Unless of course he’s on a useful mission for his side in gaining the release of the 5 Guantanamo Taliban. That Obama acted illegally in releasing them and is on the sting wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

      Jun 3, 2014 at 5:26 pm

      Henry…I agree. Bergdahl: “I am ashamed to be an American…The horror that is America is disgusting.” THIS is the man for which we negotiated the release of five very dangerous individuals from Guantanamo???? An American who hates America?

To be honest, I’m quite intimidated to post. You folks know your stuff, and I wish to remain a pupil while on this learning curve. I just know we are in the midst of a REALLY big problem.

        Good to see you posting again, Ashley. I missed seeing your comments. Please don’t be shy about weighing in with your observations!

        As Champ says, we’re *all* still learning. Just a couple of days ago, I was willing to give Bergdahl the benefit of the doubt, because the only source I had seen for assertions of his conversion to Islam and complicity with the Jihad came from the Taliban itself.

        Now it turns out there is this *flood* of information from his family, from his former fellow soldiers, and from his own nasty words.

        Hope you’re doing well.

    This is one reason why I’ve instructed family, friends, and church to do NOTHING to ransom me should I be kidnapped by mahometan terrorists, or to believe a word they claim I’ve said.

    I refuse to be negotiated for. Either my captors release me safe and sound, or they’ll simply send me to Jesus.

    In fact, I might relive the plot of the “Ransom of Red Chief” and make them glad to get rid of me, giving me millions to leave them alone.

        So tell me what did you find sick about my comment? That I think your president is decadent? That I think Bergdahl’s both senior and junior decadent traitors?…or is it that I promote Christianity as the answer?

        If you are against me on that score then you are standing alongside the jihadees, who are engaged in the systematic annihilation of Christianity all over the world. The decadent western media is almost silent about that though and so in my opinion are complicit with jihadee aims too.

    One can’t even blame this on Stockholm Syndrome, since this was written *before* his capture by—or defection to—the Taliban.

    Clearly, this goes *way* beyond the usual understandable grousing you find among military personnel everywhere.

    I was willing to give a POW the benefit of the doubt for a very long time—but more and more is coming out now, and the picture it paints is anything but pretty.

    The question is, why did he come back? Was it because he realized he could be used to free Jihadists in a “prisoner exchange”?

    I hope those in authority are keeping a very close eye on Bergdahl—but in this environment, I very much doubt it…

      It’s garden-variety Leftism. While many, if not most PC MCs don’t carry their morbid self-criticism of their own Western culture this far, most Leftists do (that’s one reason why I distinguish PC MCs from Leftists per se).

      The ideological trajectory of 21st century pathology is becoming fairly clear: PC MC -> Leftism -> Extremist Leftism -> Socialism -> Communism -> Islam.

      Thank Allah, most in the West don’t (so far) graduate along this trajectory, but remain more or less ensconced in one position.

      • voegelinian says

        Jun 2, 2014 at 5:31 pm

        The ideological trajectory I adumbrated could and should also include, of course, Communism’s twin brother, Nazism/Fascism.

        • voegelinian says

          Jun 2, 2014 at 5:32 pm

          And speaking of that ideological trajectory I mentioned above, it’s still uncertain where to plot Obama along that graph — but it’s fairly clear he is not merely PC MC (nor even merely Leftist).

        • voegelinian says

          Jun 4, 2014 at 12:55 pm

          “So, in your trajectory, I say that Communism is completely gone.”

          It has completely gone in its formerly brazenly open mode. It may well have reconfigured into stealth mode. Indeed, for decades, Communism was, like Islam, pursuing a double track of Overt Revolution and Covert Espionage-cum-Infiltration. It is reasonable for us to suppose that the only reason it has apparently dropped the former is not that its votaries don’t want to pursue it nor that they have magically disappeared or have all converted to capitalism, but rather that they realized they simply couldn’t for the time being, and thus had to burrow down and into complete stealth mode.

          Especially with the information we have gleaned from journalists and historians like Diana West and M. Stanton Evans, it is reasonable for us to suppose this — and reckless for us not to.

          Additionally, we would be foolish and unimaginative to overlook the whiff of Change in the air in this century — the anti-Western Western Gnostics (stealth Communists) finding in Islamic Jihad a strange bedfellow with which to make revolutionary babies, so to speak.

        This is *hard Leftism*, Voegelinian. I’m here in the center of the bluest-of-blue state of California, living a couple of miles from the Berkeley border.

        And yet even here, where you find huge amounts of “kumbaya” silliness, along with the usual “tiny minority of extremists” and “poverty causes extremism”. this degree of out-and-out hatred of America is far from the norm.

        Bowe Bergdahl might sound superficially like the average Leftist, with his dabbling in Buddhism and tarot and “help[ing] Afghan villagers rebuild their lives…”, but I think there was something much darker going on with the Bergdahls than garde-variety Leftism—and that this much predated his time with the Taliban.

          Well, I don’t know, gravenimage. “Garden-variety leftism” of our era has the capacity to sink to levels that have not ever been explored before. Speaking only for myself, I decided long ago, after witnessing first-hand what was going on at the college level, never to overestimate the modern Western liberal. They are capable of descent that would make a representative of the Australopithecus genus look positively wise by comparison.

          Jun 3, 2014 at 11:46 pm

          Wellington—I think this is just a matter of semantics. I consider anyone left of center to be a “Leftist”, including classic Liberals.

          Clearly, you and Voegelinian consider Leftists to be more what I would categorize as “far left” or “hard left”.

          But while it is not the norm, there are all too many of these creeps who hate America and the West and sneer at her freedoms.

          This is not only disgusting, it is very, very dangerous. I suppose “Hanoi Jane” Fonda—I almost called her “Jihad Jane” in a Freudian slip—was one of the first—but not, alas, the last…

          Jun 4, 2014 at 1:01 pm

          gravenimage, I basically amended my “garden-variety” Leftism characterization. What I meant was that all Leftism has the morbidly anti-Western self-criticism, and that taking that farther is what distinguishes the extremist Leftist. One doesn’t want to exaggerate and demonize the garden-variety Leftist; but one also doesn’t want to overlook the broader cultural well from which the extremist drinks.

          The main thing that distinguishes the two is that the extremist is more logical in pursuing his (warped) idealism, while the former is more incoherent and hypocritically parasitical upon the very same Establishment he so glibly denounces. (This distinction also describes the core difference between the PC MC and the garden-variety Leftist — it is, as I said, a spectrum.)

      Hey Graven!

      You expressed my feelings…only better. As usual.

      How goes the artwork?

      I come and go from JW. I spent the best part of last year reading all I could get my hands on penned by Ayaan Hirsi Ali…I thought “Infidel” was a profound work. And when the shit hit the fan at Brandeis, I came back here. It was nice to know my outrage that she had been cut from her Brandeis appearance was justified.

      I see hope, Graven (albeit I’m naïve). Many I know here in liberal Massachusetts are dumbfounded by this prisoner/POW exchange recently orchestrated. It isn’t sitting well, and I find many asking the “important” questions. Essentially… “what the hell did Obama just do?”

      I read an interesting book this week. Not sure I can really “recommend” it as the writing is quite sterile. But the subject matter is fascinating. The book is “Lone Wolf Terrorism: Understanding the Growing Threat” by Jeffrey Simon. It is a new book (2013). Hell, it even mentioned Robert Spencer in a neutral manner. And although it went beyond the scope of the Islam threat, it certainly covered the Islam threat amply.

      Got good reviews on amazon…I took it out at my library.

        Hi, Ashley.

        Sounds like you are reading up—”Infidel” is an excellent book, and I had a chance to hear Ayaan Hirsi Ali speak in San Francisco a couple of years ago—great stuff. I am in awe of her bravery.

        I’ve yet to read Simon’s book, but it sounds well worth checking out.

        Things are going great with my non-Jihad artwork—wish I could share this here at JW. But this means I have been neglecting my Anti-Jihad art, which I really want to get back to. Maybe this will give me the kick in the pants I need…

        And there’s nothing “lame” about your contributions at all. As I noted above, I’m glad to see you posting again.

      • voegelinian says

        Jun 4, 2014 at 1:13 pm

        Allah help us from “terrorism experts for 25 years” like Jeffrey Simon.

        Watching this interview with him, it’s clear that his book-selling category, “Lone Wolf Terrorism”, is effectively (if not intentionally) myopic to the psychological and ideological confluence between the “group dynamics” and “religious motivations” of jihadists, on the one hand, and these putative Lone Wolves who, as Simon says, have no allegiance to or motivation from anybody else except their own warped brains.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1zRnjICdL8

        Once again, we see a Western “expert” myopic to the uniqueness of Islam: and one example out of thousands one could adduce of that uniqueness is precisely this sociological ability to produce “lone wolves” by the minions (and let us not forget the “lone wolfpacks” which Islam seems to be able to produce).

        • Ashley says

          Jun 4, 2014 at 2:31 pm

          Voegelinian…I agree with you. My biggest issue with Simon was that he downplayed the unique and specific jihadist threat and sort of tossed it into the mix with Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, Bruce Ivins, James Holmes, and other lone wolf terrorists who did not have the Islamic motivations to maim and kill.

          Still, I found the subject matter fascinating. To illustrate, I’ve been following this recent Ryan Kelly Chamberlain story coming out of San Francisco. From what little I know, Chamberlain certainly doesn’t seem to fit any particular profile. I’ve yet to learn of why Chamberlain, a self-professed depressed and suicidal man, caught the initial attention of the FBI, be motivated to possess bomb-making explosives, trigger a 72 hour national manhunt, post on social media that it was all a big misunderstanding, and yet not turn himself in or (and not to sound heartless) follow through on his suicidal ideations while on the run. Chalk it up to a morbid curiosity on my part.

          But again, I do agree that Jeffrey Simon missed the mark on just how serious the jihadist threat truly is. It is why, in good faith, I am reluctant to recommend the book. But for me his book opened my eyes to individuals that fly under the radar as they plot away…

          In solidarity,

          Ashley

          Thanks for the additional information, Voegelinian. Sorry to hear this, but hardly surprised.

          It’s constantly obvious that very few really understand Jihad—even those concerned tend to hedge with “Islamic extremism”, “tiny minority of extremists”, “poverty causes terrorism”, “all faiths have their extremists”, on and on ad nauseum.

          And that doesn’t even cover those who are in complete and utter willful denial about *any* danger from Jihad—and these fools are still rife.

    I keep thinking about this story and my reaction to it. President Obama’s disregard for the law and the words of Bergdahl’s father in Arabic at the White House made me very angry. This Sgt. Bergdahl is a deserter (apparently he has admitted it). Whether he is also a traitor has yet to be proven so I shall give him the benefit of the doubt on that count. On one hand I am glad he is coming home; on the other hand the manner of his homecoming is very troubling to me. Still, he is a prodigal son returned, a stray sheep who has been found, a missing coin recovered. Those who are familiar with the New Testament will recognize my allusions to a trilogy of parables used by Jesus to teach about the concept of redemption. But has Sgt. Bergdahl been redeemed? I think not just yet.

    Yes, in many ways Sgt. Bergdahl does remind me of the prodigal son who sought to go his own way only to find a harsher reality. But the prodigal son admitted his errors in judgment, repented and returned to his father who rejoiced at his return. You see, forgiveness is a part of redemption but I am of the mind that before forgiveness is granted the error or offense must first be identified and admitted, remorse should be demonstrated by the offender and the offender should be willing to atone through some form of penance. I think prodigal son Bergdahl has yet to do all of these things and that it was premature to kill the fatted calf for him (in the form of 5 Taliban set free). This lost sheep may just prove to be a wolf in disguise, a missing coin that is nothing more than a worthless counterfeit.

    However, my initial anger has lessened….. if only slightly. I have hope that justice….and the truth….will yet prevail in my country. And as for my still evolving attitude toward President Obama…..well, I wonder if he or his Muslim friends are even familiar with any of the parables I mentioned.

    One stealth jihadist helping out another stealth jihadist, the object of which is more and better stealth jihad…

      After hearing all the evidence I believe this guy is a traitor. Soldiers do not throw other soldiers under the bus unless there is truth in what they are saying. He should face American Justice.

    One thing that is rarely mentioned in all of the accounts was that this POS shipped most of his personal stuff – including his laptop – home BEFORE he decided to go walkabout. That in itself is very telling; and is something that should be kept in mind when discussing the circumstances of his so-called “capture”. It makes all the difference in the world.

      EYES – Very, very interesting, and cleary significant, too. What is your source for this tantalizing tidbit? qr

    Sgt. Bergdhal could be a “Manchurian Candidate” and an agent of the Taliban. We traded 5 Taliban for one American Taliban.

    Being unfamiliar with American Law, perhaps an American poster could answer the following question.
    Is this ” prisoner of war ” going to end up getting millions of dollars in compensation for all the “hardship and suffering” he has endured at the hands of his Taliban captors ????

    This traitor actually phoned his unit to say he had defected according to his fellow soldiers. 6 Americans died attempting to rescue him.
    What happened to “we never negotiate with terrorists”?

    Sounds like it could make a great drama series. Oh, hang on a second. Wasn’t ‘homeland’ something akin to this?
