Imad Enchassi, imam of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, posted this on Facebook the day before a member of his mosque, Jah’Keem Yisrael, beheaded one of his coworkers and tried to behead another at Vaughan Foods in Moore, Oklahoma: “Hate speech and ads that crosses freedom of speech and encouraged violence ought to be illegal.”
He posted it with a link to a truly scurrilous New York Daily News piece about our AFDI pro-freedom ads, “Anti-Muslim ads could threaten lives.” Pamela Geller responded trenchantly here:
The pro-jihadists hope our ads will threaten lives. They really want a Muslim to be attacked by some nut. They want this deeply, so they can use it to move against free speech. Imagine: would the Daily News in 1942 have run a piece entitled, “Anti-Nazi ads could threaten lives”? Would they have said that by waging war against the Nazis and denouncing their ideology, American patriots were “fomenting a climate of fear and hate”? These claims that these pro-freedom, anti-jihad terror ads foment fear and hate and endanger innocent people are an insidious attempt to enable jihad terror, Islamic antisemitism and Sharia oppression by stigmatizing and demonizing opposition to them.
Indeed. And it is no surprise to discover that an Islamic supremacist like Imad Enchassi is a foe of the freedom of speech; we have seen this to be true of many, many Islamic supremacists in the U.S., as well as their Leftist allies and Useful Idiots: Cyrus McGoldrick (formerly of Hamas-linked CAIR), “moderates” Mona Eltahawy and Reza Aslan, etc. etc. etc. — the list goes on and on. Islamic law, after all, forbids criticism of Islam and anything that can be construed as such.
This is the “moderate” environment in which Jah’Keem Yisrael lived and moved.
Jade says
Well the ads DON’T cross freedom of speech and if you don’t like it, MOVE. WE have freedom of speech in civilized countries and YOU don’t get to refine our laws. The ads stay.
john spielman says
I suggest AFDI add this murderer’s picture to the ads with the caption ” when I’m angry with kuffurs, THIS is MY JIHAD!
Mirren10 says
Brilliant, John !
Soloview says
Good idea ! I would put a different caption with the picture, something like : ‘This is the Oklahoma beheader. The imam of his mosque says AFDI ads should be banned because they “encourage violence”. Really ?’
Mulakush says
Well, if this man wants to muzzle hate speech, guess he will be the first in the line to be muzzled!
hammar says
You should read the UN resolution combating “Defamation of Religions” signed by Sec. of State Hillary Clinton saying you could not use the word terrorist or terror with islam. This was brought about by OIC which is Organizations of Islamic Cooperation. all police and FBI manuals were reprinted and agents are instructed to not use the phrases together..think about it and this woman is running for the office the next time its available in 2016.
AnneM says
Good news, the internet will still be a safe haven for getting the truth out!
el-cid says
Robert,
Hammar’s point explains much of the strange verbal behavior of world leaders. They appear to be acting as if the UN resolution had been passed and is in effect already. Is this an area worthy of further reporting by Jihad Watch?
Also, in our posts and comments we should use the phrase “Islamic Terrorism” as frequently as possible as a protest.
Western Canadian says
Or consider using the phrase ‘halal terrorism’.
Neil jennison says
Has that been tested in the US courts?
voegelinian says
The ISIS alijlad would find no head there to decapitate.
Rob Crawford says
Meanwhile, his teaching people that it’s a holy command to “strike the necks of the unbelievers” is no threat to anyone, anywhere.
Except to one dead, one recovering, and another woman threatened, all in the region where this imam spreads his slime.
William Venit says
It’s funny how they say these ads may put peoples lives in danger, and the only ones killing is them. I think of all those people being put in pits, machine gunned down. If actions like these don’t deserve warnings, what action do??
Lee Hicks says
This is simply the stage of cultural Jihad. When threatened, Islamists will claim to be persecuted and suffering from Islamaphobia. They will claim to be a religion of peace, and will denounce anyone resisting their Jihadist efforts.
These are the same people that will claim special treatment when their influence increases, and will use the “convert or die” approach when in complete power. Don’t be deceived, lying words (Taqiya) are approved by Allah, when necessary for the promotion of Jihad.
Islam is Jihad, and there are no exceptions or “moderate” Muslims, just Jihadists using cultural and political approaches, instead of outright violence.
AnneM says
Remember who the Muslims worship, SATAN.
voegelinian says
“Islam is Jihad, and there are no exceptions or “moderate” Muslims, just Jihadists using cultural and political approaches, instead of outright violence.”
Not “instead” of outright violence, but in covert tandem with outright violence — pretending to be disassociated from that outright violence, but exploiting the symbiotic relation it maintains with it in secret. Stealth Jihad is joined at the hip with Violent Jihad, but the Muslims practicing the former pretend (hence, the “stealth”, duh!) they have nothing to do with the latter.
And this Good Cop/Bad Cop tactic wouldn’t work very well, if there weren’t so many gullible dupes in the Enemy Camp (i.e., in the Free World, since freedom is the enemy of Islamic submission) who believe the Good Cops are really Good (or at least Harmless and beyond reasonably prejudicial suspicion).
voegelinian says
Aside from the fact that Muslims are fanatically bound to support Violent Jihad (because their precious Muhammad said so), it proves beneficial for the Stealth Jihad, for it instills a semi-conscious fear and disarray among the Kuffar — even while the Stealth Jihad Muslim (i.e., any and all Muslims) may feign Plausible Deniability about it (and be believed by the gullibly naive Kuffar who, alas, are the majority throughout the West still).
voegelinian says
And this semi-conscious fear and disarray among the instilled by Violent Jihad among the Kuffar has an extra advantage for the Mohammedans: it tends to elicit the strangely perverse reflex spasm among the anxiously sincere and clueless Harbi — the reflex spasm that bends over backward to placate and “respect” Muslims even more, the more that Muslims monstrously misbehave in their grotesquely ghoulish and fanatically zealous ultra-violence.
voegelinian says

Ban the Quran. It is a collection of hatespeech against unbelievers.
If it were written today and not in 700AD it would be banned.
BAN the QURAN !
Richard Sherman says
Beheading is foundational to Islam…every Muslim reveres the principal beheader, Muhammad , who personally decapitated 900 unarmed Jews.
rubiconcrest says
So now we know that the Imam of the OK mosque is not a moderate. He is against freedom of speech. He is against an organization, AFDI, that is the conscience of those in Islam who have no voice. Oklahoma has an extremist in their midst posing as a religious figure. Denouncing free speech is Sharia Law in action. Sharia Law creates extremists.
mortimer says
Lives are being threatened IN REALITY by Islamic terrorists.
Lives are being SNUFFED OUT IN REALITY by Islamic terrorists.
How many Muslims agree with the jihad? How many Muslims are planning jihads? How many Muslims will lift a finger to help kafirs if jihad occurs in America on a large scale?
Jerry says
There are about 1.75 billion Muslims and up to 90% do not actively participate in Jihad atrocities, but that majority still provides Jihad with “moral” and financial support.
Therefore we must mainly worry about the 10% – only 175 million Muslims who more directly and actively are involved in promoting of Jihad.
The main immediate concern, however, is that at least 1% – more than 1.75 million consider Jihad as their full time day to day occupation.
Every single mosque that allows the preaching and promoting of Jihad should be closed and demolished. That, unfortunately, will close most mosques.
Every Imam (and others, including “lay preachers”) should be deported or indefinitely jailed.
Wtf? says
I have said this again and again. It is the Imans who should be rounded up, interrogated, licensed and monitored. They are the key and they need to be eliminated. There is no one regulatory body governing these creeps and they are all trying to gain kudos over other mosques.
Western Canadian says
That 1.75 billion figure is very much inflated.
mortimer says
Muslim paranoia is based on KORANIC REVENGE KILLING!
They impute their own REVENGE STRATEGY to people whose philosophy is based on the GOLDEN RULE!
Muslims do not have the Golden Rule in their system of ethics. Jihad contravenes the Golden Rule.
Jerry says
Definitely worth consideration soon after the Qura’n and Hadith are outlawed, all mosques closed and all Jihadist Imams and other sympathisers deported to ISIL, and ISIL wiped out.
Angemon says
Standard misdirection. What better to dodge inconvenient scrutiny than making ludicrous accusations against something else? And, of course, the media is so eager for “right-wing extremist” that they’ll eat up anything.
Neil Jennison says
You are correct. Classic misdirection. I am not familiar with the exact laws in the USA but I would bet that any advert that incites violence would already be illegal and I know that none of the AFDI ads do that because I have read them online.
R Davis says
Pamela Geller is a trick, isn’t she.
What I would like to know is where is the money coming from to print up these adds & then to pay people to hang the posters.
Oh, & do you have to pay for the space that you hang the poster on – in some cases yes.
It doesn’t come cheap.
Money grows on trees at Pamela’s establishment.
Is Pamela Geller going to pay the bill or is it the taxpayers of America …/?
Neil Jennison says
Why on earth would the US taxpayers be funding them? The US administration is hardy on side with AFDI is it?
Mirren10 says
What a load of meretricious bs you are spouting.
Take a look at the sidebar on this website, where people are being asked to contribute, as I myself have done, although I don’t live in the US.
Where do you get the idea that taxpayers are being asked to fund this ? Nowhere, except out of your stupid arse.
I’m sure you would prefer that *no-one *should pay for these ads, at all. That would suit your agenda, keep everyone in ignorance. Tool.
Western Canadian says
Even for a troll, this one is a loser.
Bezelel says
People like me donate to AFDI to pay for those ads. And damn happy to do it.
Peter says
If the Qur’an is hate speech (vis-à-vis the non-Muslim “other”), which it is, surely, it should be banned, no?
Infidel Task Force says
If you feel that speech which encourages violence should be illegal, then we should have the Koran banned. Nothing we have is more volatile than your stinkin’ Islamic book!! -BBJ
Ralph says

Blangwort says
So, are they going to riot because AFDI put ads that none of them have seen, in a city where they don’t live? Has Imad Enchassi renounced the actions of Jah’Keem Yisrael unconditionally? No?
Then I really do not care what happens to him or his deluded followers. They deserve no better than what Christians in Iraq have experienced. Reap as ye sow.
Dave J says
Islamism is a vicious cult that celebrates murder and advocates supremacy.
It does not qualify as a religion under the freedom of religion clause because of it’s perverted rules and complete lack of tolerance of other religions (or no religion).
Reform or leave the West. There is no good reason for us to accept a group that openly seeks to destroy us.
GP says
I bet the OK mosque imam is an expert on hate speech. He read the book on it!
Bezelel says
Me thinks they protest too much. He should be arrested for trying to subvert the Constitution.
Champ says
Oh please, if anything needs to be outlawed it’s ISLAM! …and since that isn’t going to happen (anytime soon), then educating people by displaying these ad’s is a brave and brilliant step to raise awareness about evil islam.
Neil Jennison says
Freedom is the greatest thing we have. I am astounded and amazed that so many people are willing their State to ban a religion or to ban a belief.
Whatever happened to the USA as the land of the free?
You cannot ban these in a free society. For how long did the USA and the UK stand up to the USSR, for how long did we stand together for freedom?
Now we have people suggesting we do just what the USSR did…..worse really, because they didn’t actually ban any religion even if they persecuted followers.
The answer to the problem of Islam is not a ban, it is the truth and knowledge about what Islam actually teaches.
Bezelel says
Basically because islam is not a religion and belief that involves murder is already illegal. It needs to be stripped of any religious status and treated as the death cult that it is.
Neil Jennison says
Then prosecute people who break the law.
If someone incites someone to behead infidels then prosecute them.
Whatever we say about Islam, it is religion. It may be more than a religion, but it is based on a belief in a god.
Bezelel says
Neil, I am glad you said “belief in a god” with a lower case “g” and in a god. Definitely not based on a belief in my God. I don’t claim a monopoly on God or pretend to be an expert on God. But islam isn’t even based on a god. It is based on man made rules and regulations enforced by men, that moHAMed made up as he went along that he used as a trump card to justify anything that suited his purpose and that is what islam is being used to do now. Civilizations that developed on opposite sides of the globe have more in common in virtuous principals than islam has with any of it’s closest non muslim neighbors that have managed to survive.
Neil Jennison says
It was entirely deliberate. I am not disagreeing with you. My own personal view of Islam is that it is satanically inspired.
However, as we in the west do not believe we should live in a theocracy of any kind, it would be wrong for me to impose my Catholic beliefs on society. The flip side of this is that in a free democratic country, we must allow all freedom of speech and ideas and beliefs.
We must therefore prosecute when the practice of Muslims contravenes the law, but we must not outlaw Islam. And importantly too, we must be free to point out how evil this religion is without being hassled by the law. This fundamental right barely exists in the UK now, and if the current Home Secretary’s plans announced yesterday make it onto the statute books, then it will be all but illegal to criticise Islam.
