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

DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson: “We in the administration and the government should give voice to the plight of Muslims”

Feb 19, 2015 2:31 pm By Robert Spencer

What about the plight of the victims and targets of Islamic jihad? Not as high a priority. “Jeh Johnson: The Administration Must ‘Give Voice To The Plight Of Muslims,'” Real Clear Politics, February 18, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY JEH JOHNSON: We in the administration and the government should give voice to the plight of Muslims living in this country and the discrimination that they face. And so I personally have committed to speak out about the situation that very often people in the Muslim community in this country face. The fact that there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world and the Islamic faith is one about peace and brotherhood.

    Let me be the first to say “Jiminy-freakin’-crickets!” What is this guy smoking? The only peace and brotherhood in Islam is on their common exploitation and demonisation of non-Muslims. The “economy” of Islam is based on stealing from non-Muslims through raids, murder, or jizya.

    What is the “plight” of Musims in America, that they can’t get away with killing infidels as much as they would like?

      Absolutely, let them cry in their bitter valley of lost souls, let them ask for the peaceful teachings of Mohammed. Let them develop a economy, who is not based on the very principles of their culture, Taxation of infidels and Loot neighboring countries.

      What about the fact that more than 50% of hate crimes in the US in 2014 were committed against Jews? Why aren’t we talking about the plight of our productive Jewish citizens? 12% of hate crimes were committed against muslims, and I doubt the accuracy of those reports, which included mean comments on busses or distasteful Facebook posts.

      The plight of muslims in America comes from the fact that they shouldn’t be here in the first place.

      Remember one simple fact in order to understand the unbelievable “Jiminy-freakin’-crickets” stuff that is coming out of the mouths of Obama administration officials :

      BHO KNOWS HE IS ON A SINKING SHIP AND THESE GUYS ARE ORDERED BY HIM TO PREVENT DISASTER. Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic — as that old joke puts it.

      They must say anything no matter how moronic if they want to stay in his favor . . . Just that simple.

      He’s been smoking his socks-that’s what. Seems he has his job description written backwards. His job is to protect the homeland not to give voice to Muslims.

      We might as well all pack it in and go home and tend our gardens.

    Feb 19, 2015 at 2:39 pm

    Yes, let’s all use jihabs, niqabs, it is wonderful tradition, Mohammed and the Umma, let me think what they can teach us:
    Honor Killings, Slave sex girls, Jizia, Sharia, Martyrdom, Violence against unbelievers.
    Well apart from Humus and Kebab, I don’t really miss anything from the above. It is not us that have to adapt to them, it is them that have to adapt to us.

    “”The great masses of the people… will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.””

    —Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

    Whatever evils Hitler did (and let’s face it, he shared many goals with Islam) he was an expert at mass manipulation of the population.

    But be fair, it cannot be easy being a Muslim in the west…..having to defend the indefensible, supremacist, brutal and sexist ideology that you have sworn to believe.

    To reiterated what should be restated. Which is in todays newspaper in an article written by the scholar, Thomas Sowell, on the subject of the threat of the jihad and Obama. Mr. Sowell did have a good point when he explained “We will be lucky to get through the remainder of Obama’s term without a major catastrophe from which we might or might not recover.”

    “Plight of the Muslims living in this country?!!!!”

    What? Are Christians & Jews discriminating against Muslims? Are Hindu’s and Mormon’s harassing Muslims? Are Atheists beheading & burning Muslims?

    This Administration has become so obvious about their “Protectionism of Muslims” to the point of being completely one-sided and apologetic towards Muslims.

    Clearly the Muslim Brotherhood and C.A.I.R. have worked their “Jihad by the word” mumbo-jumbo.

    I get the sense that Sharia Law will rule the land, in my children’s life-time.

    Equal time for the “Holy Bible” with this Administration?

    Not a chance.

    Why don´t you end all the suffering, hardship and discrimination all those poor Muslims are having to endure by giving them all a one way ticket to the Islamic paradise of their choice.
    I´ll be delighted to help end the suffering of one of these poor Muslims by paying for their travel expenses back to Mecca or where ever.

    There are a lot of Christians in the world and Christians are taught to live by the Golden Rule. What about their *plight* and the discrimination faced?

    The wild beast of Revelation, and the image of that wild beast will be worhipped, or else (chap. 13). On the other hand, Christ said His followers would be hated by the world (John 15:19).

    Once the True God or His Son utters a prophecy, it will come true.

    This is a violently pro Moslem and you will have noticed a largely Black-led US regime. Witness the irony of US Blacks vigorously defending the racist Meccan moon cult. A few short years after 9-11 and through electoral and media fraud the US elects a Moslem Prez twice, and allows it’s political economy to be hijacked by the Moslem Brotherhood and fellow Marxist travelers. Unfracking believable.

    Yes — peace and brotherhood between Muslims. See Qur’an 48:29, which stipulates that “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves.” As to the “plight of Muslims living in this country and the discrimination that they face,” such discrimination involving Muslims is not against them — as witness the fawning rhetoric that suffuses this entire nonsensical conference.

  15. Papa Whiskey says

    Feb 19, 2015 at 3:18 pm

    Correx: “As to the “plight of Muslims living in this country and the discrimination that they face,” such discrimination involving Muslims is for, not against them— as witness the fawning rhetoric that suffuses this entire nonsensical conference.”

    The fact that there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world and the Islamic faith is one about peace and brotherhood.

    Jeh is one of them, not one of us. There are only two kinds of people who talk like that, Mahoundians and kuffar liars.
    Speaking of the often mentioned 1.6 billion, a number that never seems to change, where are the million man marches against ISIS and jihad terror?
    They managed to get 800,000 to march against cartoons, but not one for peace…I would ask Jeh to explain that, but I’m sure he is clueless…

      Disagree. Johnson is an APOLOGIST FOR ISLAM…a first class DHIMMI who supports Islam for gain.

      He doesn’t REALLY believe Islam is a religion of peace, silly!

      An APOLOGIST FOR ISLAM has never read Islam’s three holy books, but considers himself better informed than those who have read them. The lack of study regarding Islam gives the lazy and self-righteous cultural Marxists (like Johnson) the ability to speak not from knowledge, but from MARXIST THEORY that the Mussies are FRIENDS OF THE PROLETARIAN STRUGGLE whose JIHAD is a companion struggle leading to the MARXIST UTOPIA.

      ALL GLORY TO COMRADE JOHNSON AND SUPREME COMRADE OBAMA! ALL GLORY!

    This tells you that there is no one looking out for the safety of U.S. citizens. What we have is a government of Jihadist sympathizers and conspirators, treasonous by any definition.

    The U.S. is imploding from within with moral and spiritual corruption (and has been for many years), and this is one result for a nation that willingly turns it’s back on the one true God, and embraces the idols and false gods of this world. When a nation chooses this path, God (the only true and triune God of the Bible) will give them the fruits of what they have desired, even if they are poisonous in nature.

    Obama and the rest of the Jihadist cohorts in leadership are a symptom of the real problem, which is moral and spiritual corruption, the embracing of sin. Continue as a nation to embrace and promote sin it all of it’s various forms? If so, don’t be surprised when you get ungodly and wicked leaders, intent on the destruction of the nation. It is a natural byproduct of the original sinful state, just as happened in Sodom.

    The sinful state consists of pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness, as well as doing nothing to genuinely help raise the poor from their circumstances. This was the actual sin of Sodom (rampant militant homosexuality was merely an effect, not the actual base sin), and these are the same sins that beset the U.S. Our abysmal and wicked leadership are merely symptoms, or effects, of those base sins.

    Regardless, though the Lord may make use of such evil men and women for his purposes (as they freely choose wickedness), they will still be held accountable for their actions, unless some come to a saving knowledge of Christ. Knowing the root cause of our leadership troubles can do much to keep us focused on the reality that lies behind the headlines, which is impending judgement for sin, not only for the U.S., but the world at large. This is the time of Great Tribulation that will soon come upon a rebellious world. Current events are only a lead-up to the long-awaited arrival of Christ Himself with His proverbial rod of iron.

    The fact that there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world and the Islamic faith is one about peace and brotherhood.

    That’s not a fact, that’s something plausible, at best, and a half truth.

    Plausible – the number of muslims in the world.

    Half-truth – the islamic faith being one of peace and brotherhood. That may be the case for muslims of the same sect, but it certainly isn’t the case for muslims of different sects, and it’s surely not the same for muslims and non-muslims – islam makes a clear, sharp division between muslims (“the best of people”) and non-muslims (“the vilest of creatures”).

    And what, pray tell, is the “plight of Muslims” and what is/are Mr. Johnson’s source(s) of information for his assertion?

    Where and when is he going to speak out? Is this going to be done on the taxpayer’s dime?

    And would he care to comment on the plight of Americans who have to put up with the administration’s tripe, and worse yet, fund it?

    He should be fired for first amendment violations.

  25. mortimer says

    Feb 20, 2015 at 12:35 am

    Johnson claims: ” the Islamic faith is one about peace and brotherhood.”

    Oh, really? How many tears were caused by the jihad-murderers for the last 1400 years?

    The tears of jihad are REAL: 120 million black Africans MURDERED BY MUSLIMS, 80 million Hindus MURDERED BY MUSLIMS, 60 million Christians MURDERED BY MUSLIMS, 10 million Buddhists MURDERED BY MUSLIMS, 100s of thousands of Jews MURDERED BY MUSLIMS.

    But let’s only worry about the hurt feelings of Muslims when they are admonished for supporting this hideously evil Death Cult.

    • Charli Main says

      Feb 20, 2015 at 2:58 am

      But–but—but—the suffering inflicted on the vilest of peoples don´t count because they are only apes and pigs.
      Only the feeling of Muslims are of any importance because they are the best of people and everyone else has been put on Earth for the only purpose of serving them.

    What a load of B.S., “Religion of Peace and Brotherhood”, Islam Muslim Pandering “Lie”, from DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY JEH JOHNSON.

    Islam’s ONLY cause IS the Defeat of the World, thru Islamic “Taqiyya” and “Kitman” (Permissible Islamic Lying and Deception, precautionary dissimulation or deception and keeping one’s convictions secret, mental reservation and dissimulation or concealment of malevolent intentions -Daniel Pipes – Middle East Forum http://www.danielpipes.org ),

    “Peacefully” IF possible, OR thru Bloody Murdering Jihad if NOT possible and “necessary”.

    Calling Islam a “Religion”, which it is NOT, “Panders” to the West’s “Freedom of Religion” Laws.

    However, Islam IS actually “…a total system of life and contains within itself a particular social system, judicial system, and political system which includes geo-political aspirations – the conquest and administration of territory…”, see (among other Sources), “Why Islam is Not a Religion”, by Rebecca Bynum, Nov. 2011, Speech delivered October 18th to ACT! for America Chapter in Memphis Tennessee.

    Islam’s “Holy Book” the Qur’an, and their “Prophet” Mohammed, CLEARLY spell that out, as also in the Dar-Al Islam (House of Islam) “Domination of Islam”, and other such Islamic Texts.

    This HAS also been DEMONSTRATED and PROVEN, through Islam’s well PUBLICISED and DOCUMENTED Atrocities.

    Jeh Johnson DHS Secretary: ‘You have to be vigilant’. In being vigilant must we assume all people, including white people, might bomb our malls. Or, can we “racial profile” and just notice muslim looking people. If we have to watch all people, won’t be enough time to shop.
