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

St. Louis KMOV: “Local Muslims face possible backlash after terror indictments”

Feb 10, 2015 10:39 pm By Robert Spencer

The pattern never changes: in the wake of a jihad terror attack or plot, Muslims in the West do not do what they should do: redouble their efforts against jihadis in their own communities, and their cooperation with law enforcement officials. Instead, they claim that they are being victimized by a “backlash” and try to deflect attention away from the jihad plot by seizing the spotlight as victims. The mainstream media aids and abets this. Laura Shay of KMOV.com here has nothing at all — not a single incident, not even some idiot yelling at a poor victimized and noble hijabi. It’s a story about what may happen.

Where are the mainstream media stories about what Muslims are doing to teach against the beliefs and attitudes that give rise to so much violence committed in the name of Islam and — according to those who perpetrate it — in accord with its teachings? Where are the stories about what Muslims are doing to reassure Infidels, instead of the other way around, in the wake of yet another jihad attack? Yes, the Muslims in St. Louis condemn this jihad plot. Very well. What are they doing to prevent Muslims from misunderstanding Islam in this way? What are they doing to reform Islamic teachings so that no violence is ever done in accord with those teachings?

“Local Muslims face possible backlash after terror indictments,” by Laura Shay, KMOV.com, February 9, 2015:

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) – Three St. Louis area residents were indicted on terrorism charges Friday and the case has left local Bosnians and Muslims facing potential backlash for the actions of individuals in their ethnic and religious groups.

The St. Louis area suspects, Ramiz Hodzic, Sedina Hodzic and Armin Harcevic were all originally from Bosnia but were legally residing in the United States when they allegedly aided Al Qaida and ISIS by providing monetary and financial support.

Both the Islamic Foundation of St. Louis and St. Louis Bosnians, Inc. groups have strongly condemned the actions of the Hodzics and Harcevic.

“We felt compelled to come out and say this is not what Islam stands for, this is not what the community stands for,” said Ghazaka Hayat of the Islamic Foundation of St. Louis.

Local Muslims have faced the challenges of public opinion since the 9/11 terror attacks and want to deflect possible repercussions away from the larger Muslim and Bosnian community.

By reminding the public that the alleged acts of the Hodzics and Harcevic are not a reflection on the greater Muslim population of the area, locals Muslims groups hope to avoid conflict or adverse reactions if the prosecution in the case occurs in St. Louis.

      You notice that EVERY TIME there is Muslim terrorism or plots by Muslims to do terrorism the first thing the news media and terrorist groups like CAIR do is trout out that old TIRED meme “We fear a backlash” because they try to make THEMSELVES the victims, when they are the preps.

      The Muslims should be trying to STOP Islamic violence from happening in the first place, but if they do…they will be going against Islam.

        As soon as they are caught in a terrorist plot against infidels, they scream about a backlash against them from the infidels. (This is their preemptive PR effort at work.) They are good at it and the media then laps it up, helps them, kisses their behind, and makes negative innuendo and commentary about infidels threatening them. Then they go to back to work on their next terror plot against the infidels. BTW, I’m with you on this. I see little or no evidence that some of these Muslims are actually against jihad.

      Not that you need my affirmation, Martin; But Sir, You’re 110,100% Right! Islam is indeed bent on fulfilling their Biblical Destiny.
      As a Born-Again believer in Jesus Christ, I have known for a very long time that the children of Ishmael are indeed the Ultimate Source of Islam. But never in a Million years would I have conceived that they were to be such a Vile People.

    “It’s a story about what may happen.” Well, when there’s no real story or the real story is inconvenient, just shift to the “what may happen” approach. It must be a good deal easier to write and the only limit is one’s imagination. Wow, now there’s some modern journalism or would that be post-modern journalism?

      Just look at the past and what has been done in the name of Islam.
      Even a murderer that is caught RED HANDED, and ON TAPE still has to be called “suspected murderer” by the media for legal and moral reasons. You are not guilty until proven in a court of law.

      Why do you point fingers at those who abide by the rules, that is unless you don’t like rules.

      I wonder if Jihad watch will publish a ‘real story’ about what DID happen today the murder of 3 Muslim students in the USA. All shot in the head by an anti-religionist??

      These were innocent people executed due to pure hate of Islam. As bad as ISIS. I saw ISIS executing Iraqi soldiers in the head. This was no different.

      And the Quran was not used to execute these innocent people.

      Let’s hope we see a lot of outrage here. This is the result of Islamaphobia whipped up everywhere in the west.

      There’s no reason to execute 3 Muslims just because of a parking dispute. It seems the person was blinded by Islamaphobia.

      I always condemn the terrorist brutalities but I always clearly stand up for the 1.6 innocent billion Muslims who are human beings like you and I.

      We need people who will promote TOLERANCE between the different faiths not invite hatred between them. The 3 innocent Muslims who were executed in the USA were victims of religious prejudice and hatred.

      Civilised people ought to condemn this very strongly. If it was 3 Americans it would have made front page news but it didn’t get much emphasis on CNN.

      If Americans are going to go around executing Muslims just because of some disagreement then what makes them any better than ISIS???

      And this is where Americans are in great danger. Prompted by Islamaphobia, knee jerk reactions like this could be a trigger to bring about civil chaos. Black vs white. Muslim vs westerner. So we have religious fanaticism bs anti religious executions.

      The talk in the media and online should be centred on how we can bring about unity and harmony not more hate speech from East or west.

      This could get ugly if Muslims seek revenge. It also puts down the argument that Muslims are always worried about a backlash that’s not sincere. Well this was a backlash and 3 dead people, young students have just verified that the backlash Muslims say they fear IS VERY REAL.

        “We need people who will not invite hatred between” the “different faiths”?
        They will not be found amongst the muslims.
        The “excellent pattern” praised in the Koran is:
        “hatred and animosity forever until you believe in Allah alone” (60:4).
        The Koran is Islamic law. Islamic websites reinforce the message:
        “You should hate them, disown them and their religion and be proud of your religion.” Alminbar.com
        “Allah (SWT) tells you to … hate those whom He tells you to hate …
        Therefore you must love the Muslims … and hate the kuffaar … .”

        Shooting three people over a parking dispute is appalling. What David does not acknowledge is that all the decent Infidels here consider this appalling.

        Infidels have no tenet to their beliefs that mandates shooting people over parking disputes—just the opposite, in fact. The perpetrator is under arrest, and he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

        No Infidels are dancing in the street over the shooting of parking scofflaws—this is not part of our creed.

        Would that this were true of Muslims in regard to their own faith. Despite David’s insistence per Baha’i that Islam is not violent and that the foul “Prophet” was entirely peaceful.

        And you *do* find Muslims dancing in the streets and handing our candy over acts of Muslim violence. You also will not find Muslims in Shari’ah states being arrested for waging violent JIhad—instead, they are lionized for it, and regarded as “Martyrs”.

        One more thing from David:

        This could get ugly if Muslims seek revenge
        …………………………

        Apparently David does not think that *over 25,000* Jihad terror attacks just since 9/11 is *ugly now*. Apparently he does not believe that Muslims taking “revenge” for drawing cartoons of Muhammed is ugly, or of Muslims taking “revenge” for Infidels doing aid work in Syria is ugly, or of Muslims taking “revenge” for Infidels—including his own Baha’i—worshipping as they see fit is ugly.

        What an appalling apologist for Muslim savagery.

    Where there is Islam, there is Islamic Terrorism. Terrorism is to Islam as church bells are to Christianity and wet is to water. All of the Muslim patriotic good-citizens, and there are many, cannot change this brutal fact. If the Muslim community refuses to address this issue, it must be addressed for them by restricting immigration. The resources required to police this issue are counted in the billions of dollars and rising. Washington DC, once an open, garden city, is now a city of ‘Religion of Peace’ truck barriers in front of every public building entrance. Enough with the magical thinking.

      Feb 11, 2015 at 3:53 am

      ” If the Muslim community refuses to address this issue, it must be addressed for them by restricting immigration.”

      1. Because of the potential ‘backlash’ from their own, it is very difficult for them to address that issue (with Islam comes terrorism) for to do so would be blasphemous..

      2. Ending immigration to Muslims would have been a good idea 50 years ago. But it’s too late, now, as the barbarians have already crashed the gate.

      BTW: one of my pet peeves–substituting ‘terrorism’ for the real problem: jihad.

    So what is this horrible ‘backlash’ anyway? People are going to TALK TO MUSLIMS? CHALLENGE THEM about their loyalty? ASK THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT JIHAD?

    Oh, gosh, Muslims must never be asked to defend the things in ISLAM that modern people disapprove: 1 No Golden Rule 2 No free speech 3 No democracy 4 Jihad – holy war of supremacism 5 Honour killings 6 Taqiyya – sacred lying 7 Taqlid – group think 8 Misogyny – repression of women 9 Rape of kafirs as jihad 10 Genocide 11 Ethnic cleansing 12 Al-Walaa wal-Baraa – apartheid 13 Torture 14 Plundering 15 Cruel and unusual punishments 16 Backwardness 17 Violence against women 18 Slavery 19 Information control 20 Vigilante killing.

    Do Muslims approve those 20 things or do they condemn Islam’s doctrines?

      “ASK THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT JIHAD”

      In order to use their own teachings against them, change ‘jihad’ to ‘Qur’an’.

      Knowing that Muslims believe Qur’an is God’s literal word (“all Muslims” per ibn Warrick) it’s long past time to:

      1) Ask Muslims in America which of its specific passages–if any–they disagree with.

      2) Challenge them to state whether the word ‘Islam’ means ‘peace’ or ‘submission’.

      Proceed from there.

      That ‘community’ gets away with lying about what Qur’an really says because they’re not publicly challenged per above example.

          Ask any Muslim, “AM I A KAFIR?”

          Muslims hate being ‘outed’ by that question. ‘Am I a kafir?’ forces Muslims to admit their doctrine of apartheid (called Al-Walaa wal-Baraa).

    St. Louis KMOV: “Local Muslims face possible backlash after terror indictments”
    …………………………………..

    I am *sick to death* of this. Every time Muslims plot to murder Infidels—or succeed in doing so—the immediate story is about a potential backlash against Muslims. Never mind that this fictive backlash never occurs.

    More:

    “We felt compelled to come out and say this is not what Islam stands for, this is not what the community stands for,” said Ghazaka Hayat of the Islamic Foundation of St. Louis.
    …………………………………..

    Ghazaka Hayat feels “compelled” to say this—but it is a lie.

    The Islamic Foundation of St. Louis runs both a weekend Madrassa and a Madrassa that has actually inveigled certification from the State of Missouri. I wonder what they teach there?

    When some Christians dared hand out literature near the school, this is what Hayat had to say:

    “We have requested people to stay calm and told them they can refuse to take the literature, but you never know because people can get very upset because they are insulting our religion in their literature.”

    In other words, Muslims might become violent if Christians dare tell the truth about Islam.

    And what does that include? The literature says:

    • “Jesus never killed anyone! Muhammad killed many.”

    • “Jesus never married. Muhammad had many wives and even had sex with a nine year-old.”

    A Muslim spokesman called these “lies and distortions”—but these assertions are, of course absolutely correct, and taken directly from Islamic texts.

    There is one very good way to peacefully combat Islam: speak the truth and expose its teachings. I read a book by a Pakistani Canadian who upon entering Canada converted to Christianity. He was so enthusiastic about his conversion that he convinced over 90% of his fellow immigrants from Pakistan to do likewise. Most “moderate” Muslims living in free countries, i.e. the ones that don’t know much about what their religion teaches and aren’t psychopaths, will leave the religion upon learning that their faith was founded by a child-molesting war criminal that plagiarized and twisted monotheistic religions to get himself money, power, and women, and that most Muslims are the descendants of the initial forcibly converted adherents of their Stockholm-syndrome-esque faith.

    Standard tactics of the Left and Muslim groups is they try and regain the “victim” ground whenever one of their number is involved in a terror plot or action. They must reclaim the victim narrative and media largely aids and abets this. One example; on the day of the Charlie Hebdo outrage the BBC was running a “potential victim backlash” story. A story that was based on nothing and about a backlash that never eventuated. But it took eyes off the real victims.

    Three St. Louis area residents were indicted on terrorism charges Friday and the case has left local Bosnians and Muslims facing potential backlash for the actions of individuals in their ethnic and religious groups.

    Whenever a law enforcement agency is presented this kind of whining and a request for further security, the answer should be: “if a backlash does happen, it has nothing to do with our values”. Whenever a backlash does happen, law enforcement agencies should release a press statement saying “we are compelled to say that we condemn the incident that took place on_________________ at _____________. We want to make it clear that those who carried out such actions have nothing to do with our values, which are of peace and tolerance. Our values are values of peace, and the future must not belong to those who insult our values.”

    After Norwegian nutcase Anders Breivik, an alleged right-wing extremist, massacred dozens of people, I don’t recall the media being overly concerned about a backlash against conservatives or counter-jihadists.

    In Europe, they’re on the dole or otherwise on welfare anywhere from 60% upward. For instance, in the Netherlands, unemployment for the over 50 is 100%. They’re way above average criminal, violent, and, as is illustrated by this fait-divers, seditious. In other words, what purpose do they serve. What added benefit do they represent. Why would you want those social parasites in your society? They have no business being among us in the west. Period.

After I go to college, I discover that this was all horribly wrong. What should I do? Try to protest and change the KKK philosophy? In my opinion, remaining a member looking to improve it is a long tedious route given that so many alternatives such as Humanism etc. are available. I would simply cancel my membership and go the new route. I think enlightened Muslims should do the same. While there are threats to the well being of the apostates, how many can they kill and what is the rest of our society will not stand by idly. There is no point beating a dead horse.

    The misogyny, censorship and political, supremacist provisions in Sharia law are incompatible with the UN human rights code as well as all Western national constitutions.

    Sharia law is demanded by 65% of Muslims worldwide. If Muslims do not renounce discriminatory Sharia, they should not be given citizenship.

      The other 35% must be closet apostates. No pious Mahoundian is against Allah’s laws.

    how do we know that Muslims aren’t condemning all these atrocities and discouraging violence in the name of Islam when no news media reports it? As well as teaching their followers not to spread violence?

    Yes there are a few radicals that promote violence but there are a hell of a lot against Jihad also. But we never hear about them.. It’s just not. Reported.

    The lack of new media publishing these stories does not mean the Muslim world is not trying very hard to stop terrorism from rising in its midst.

    And if they are working hard to abolish terrorism would the western media let us know??

    They are making efforts but the media don’t print it. many Muslim countries are against terrorism but the media doesn’t tell us that in the west. Our media is not telling the real story. They are refraining from mentioning any Muslim work against terrorism leaving us to think that Muslims don’t care. Well they do care and they are working to try and change the situation. It’s just not being reported by western media.

      The days of trying to blame the media for not covering your favorite topic ended over a decade ago. We’re in the age of the internet and digital media. Journalists are no longer necessary, and that’s why jihadis have no compunction about murdering them. Today, they can make their own content and say exactly what they want at the time of their choosing.

      Naturally, “moderate” Muslims can do likewise, instead of depending on the unreliable media to spread the word. So please, link away. Link to all the videos (with millions of views), web sites, and blogs (all with approving comments) demonstrating that vast numbers of Muslims are against jihad.

        Apperently, there are no “moderate mudslimes”. They fear, that we in the west, will do to them what they hand out to infidels, in their countries. That’s what generates their fears! When have we ever done to them anything? Three or four proven incidents, out of how many millions of mudslimes and their sheethole mosques?

      More crap from Muslim apologist David:

      how do we know that Muslims aren’t condemning all these atrocities and discouraging violence in the name of Islam when no news media reports it? As well as teaching their followers not to spread violence?

      Yes there are a few radicals that promote violence but there are a hell of a lot against Jihad also. But we never hear about them.. It’s just not. Reported.
      …………………………….

      What crap. The MSM rushes to report even fake condemnation of terrorism by Muslims—even when it turns out that the “terrorism” they are condemning is actually resistance to Jihad by Israel or the US. The idea that millions of “moderate” Muslims simply are unable to get the attention of the bad ol’ media is just ludicrous.

      And what about Al-Jazeera? I get Al-Jazeera English, and see not condemnation of Jihad from Muslims. Is Al-Jazeera secretly controlled by “Islamophobes”, as well?

      More:

      They are making efforts but the media don’t print it. many Muslim countries are against terrorism but the media doesn’t tell us that in the west. Our media is not telling the real story. They are refraining from mentioning any Muslim work against terrorism leaving us to think that Muslims don’t care. Well they do care and they are working to try and change the situation. It’s just not being reported by western media.
      …………………………….

      Really? Besides a few power struggles between Jihad groups, what Muslim nation is actually opposing Jihad terror—actually condemning the tenets of Islam that demand that Muslims wage violent Jihad?

      Certainly not the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is vowing to wipe Israel off the map and is gleefully oppressing and slaughtering David’s fellow Baha’i.

      Despite this, he feels compelled to whitewash Islam, and to try to soften up its Western victims. *Ugh*.

    Ironically it was a St. Louis Bosnian Muslim immigrant who was pulled from his car and beaten to death with hammers by a mob of angry black teenagers, shortly after the ‘no indictment’ verdict came down from the grand jury in the Michael Brown shooting. Wonder where CAIR was on that particular instance of a ‘Hate Crime’ against Muslims?

    What the West does not know is how to checkmate the BS that comes from the mouth of a fool. we have shown tolerance that is intolerable for the sake of true tolerance. The greatest good for the sake of the greatest number of human beings, is a concept barbarians do not understand. Our children in the West are being allowed to drift away from the very basis of our freedom which is WE WILL FIGHT TO THE LAST MAN TO PROTECT EVERYONE WHO WILL FIGHT FOR THE ABSOLUTE FREEDOM FOR ALL INNOCENT LIVES. GUILT WHICH IS PROVEN TO BE AGAINST THAT CONCEPT IS TO BE PUNISHED, BRUTALLY IF NECESSARY. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST MUSLIMS. The NOI needs to explain how Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah is consonant with the planned Arab takeover of the African Continent for the sake of The Arabs. Blacks are considered complete fools. Boko Haram is a joke to Arabs. The Islamic worldview is the Greatest good for the world of ISLAM ONLY. Here is the solution: Until Synagogues and cathedrals can be built in the Islamic countries no building mosques in the West. Until there are all Christian zones in Muslim countries, no more DEARBOURN MICHIGANS!!!!!! Until the concept of The Trinity is considered in the Islamic Faith no more discussion of Islamophobia. Until the occupation of African countries by brutal IMPERIALISTIC DARWINISTIC JIHAD MEASURES BY ARAB QUASINAZI IDEOLOGIES is ended No more speech about offending Muslims. BTW until the Islamic world hits us extremely HARD, WE IN THE WEST WILL ACCEPT THE “PEACEFUL” PR SPINS issued by their MANCHURIAN CANDIDATES IN OUR MIDST. Guess what? If the West started studying Islam under the microscope MUSLIMS WOULD EXPOLDE IN TOTAL FURY!!!!!!!!!!!! To decide to look over a Underworld Crime Syndicates cash ledger would be like would be Like reading Our Daily Bread by comparison. The West does not study what our freedom entails. The Providential hand of Our Lord Jesus Christ is now requiring we shape up. When we do the enemies of freedom will SHIP OUT!!!

    The statistical fact is even directly after September 11 was announced to had been perpetrated by Islamists out of all the HATE CRIMES in usa in the next 12 months Muslims were the victims of less than 2% of the total of hate crimes committed . Jews were victims of more than 60% and even Blacks , Gays and Christians were victims of hate crimes well over 500% more than Muslims but while all this was happening . all we seen on tv was whingeing waling Muslims crying out how they were the only victims when in fact they committed the most Hate crimes out of any other group.

    Since, in this thread, the Bahaii Defender of Islam ‘David’ has used the nonsense word “Islamophobia”, I think it’s time to repost a few classics from the archives.

    Here’s the first. “Hugh Fitzgerald”, who contributed to this website magnificently for some years, with a scathing essay entitled “Islamophobia? Really?”. If you have never read this one: click on the link, read, then..make a copy to your hard- disk or to your i-phone and keep it up your sleeve. Share it around.

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/12/fitzgerald-islamophobia-really

    And another by the same author – “Islamophobia? Not So Fast” (from 2007 – eight years ago).

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2007/01/fitzgerald-islamophobia-not-so-fast

    Thirdly, a hilarious pop quiz “Are You An Islamophobe? Take This Test To Be Sure?”, by Lorna Saltzman. If you’ve never heard of it: please, please, click on the link and read it, courtesy of her friend Phyllis Chesler. Then: save the link (could be fun to share it on FB or other social media or via email mailouts to selected friends-and-relations), make a copy and keep it up your sleeve, because at the right kind of party – printed out on sheets, with the little boxes written in at the end of each question, for totting up the scores, like you do with the quizzes in magazines – it could be a LOT of fun …and very educational for the guests. A fantastic conversation-starter.

    http://pajamasmedia.com/phyllischesler/2009/08/26/are-you-an-islamophobe/

    (If the link doesn’t work, I can provide a copy myself – I kept a full copy on my own computer).

    Also on the theme of so-called “Islamophobia”, and Muslim grievance theatre, two brilliant little pieces by a writer called “David Thompson”, called “It’s Okay to Dislike Islam” and “The Passive-Aggressive Jihad”.

    Again, if you’ve not heard of or read these pieces before, click on the links I’m now providing, and read, for they are *scorchers*. They absolutely *nail* what is going on whenever Muslims start squealing and pretending that they are offended, persecuted, etc.

    http://davidthompson.typepad.com/davidthompson/2007/03/intimidation_re.html

    http://davidthompson.typepad.com/davidthompson/2007/03/the_passiveaggr.html

    This paragraph, from the first item:

    “…One of the creeping, unanalysed myths of our time is that it is somehow wrong to dislike Islam, or any part thereof, and wrong to take a dim view of its tenets and demands, and wrong to take a still dimmer view of the figure who founded it. I can practically hear the distant tutting and grunts of disapproval. Poor Islam. Poor Muslims. Their beliefs are being mocked. How hurtful. How ‘racist.’ How terribly unfair.

    “No. It’s not unfair at all.

    “What’s unfair is a demand for unearned deference and a unilateral exemption from the testing of ideas.

    “What’s unfair, indeed despicable, are efforts by Islamic groups to cow dissent and stifle criticism with a well-rehearsed pantomime of victimhood and the projection of false motives.

    “Pretending to be hurt in order to assert one’s will over others, even violently, or to gain unreciprocated favours, or to exert control over what others may say and think, is cowardly and malign. Let me say that once again. It’s cowardly and malign.”

    A comment I posted earlier, on the subject of “Islamophobia”, doesn’t seem to have shown up. Not sure why.

    So I will repost it. Apologies in advance if it ends up being double-posted.

    Of course they do! That’s exactly what they do! If any Christian, anywhere in the world, is accused of “insulting pislam”, any and all Christians, anywhere can be made to pay for the “infraction”. The muzzy’s are only reacting to their own customs. Projection!
