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

Obama: Climate change “an immediate threat to our national security,” caused jihad in Nigeria and Syria

May 21, 2015 11:03 am By Robert Spencer

obama474Obama’s claims here are based on the proposition that poverty causes terrorism. Drought led to jihad in Nigeria, and drought, crop failures and high food prices led to jihad in Syria. But if poverty causes terrorism, one wonders why the world isn’t full of Haitian and Angolan terrorists. Also, poverty doesn’t cause terrorism. The Economist reported in 2010: “Social scientists have collected a large amount of data on the socioeconomic background of terrorists. According to a 2008 survey of such studies by Alan Krueger of Princeton University, they have found little evidence that the typical terrorist is unusually poor or badly schooled.” CNS News noted in September 2013 that “according to a Rand Corporation report on counterterrorism, prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2009, ‘Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated, or afflicted by mental disease. Demographically, their most important characteristic is normalcy (within their environment). Terrorist leaders actually tend to come from relatively privileged backgrounds.’ One of the authors of the RAND report, Darcy Noricks, also found that according to a number of academic studies, ‘Terrorists turn out to be more rather than less educated than the general population.’”

This ridiculous claim from Obama is just more of his absolute unwillingness to acknowledge the real provenance of the jihad impulse in Islamic texts and teachings. It will result in taxpayer dollars by the hundreds of millions being showered upon the Nigerian government and factions deemed “moderate” in Syria, whatever the evidence to the contrary. Those millions will go for villas and BMWs for corrupt officials, while the forces of the global jihad continue to advance.

“Obama says climate change threatens US national security,” by Nick Allen, Telegraph, May 20, 2015:

President Barack Obama has called climate change a “serious threat” to America’s national security and linked extreme weather to the rise of Boko Haram and the outbreak of war in Syria.

Mr Obama said rising sea levels could undermine the effectiveness of US forces, jeopardise its military bases around the world and cost hundreds of billions of dollars. He accused those who deny climate change exists of a “dereliction of duty”.

Speaking to graduates at the US Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut, he said: “I’m here today to say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security, an immediate threat to our national security.

“It will impact how our military defends our country. We need to act and we need to act now. Denying it or refusing to deal with it endangers our national security. It undermines the readiness of our forces.”

He added: “I know there are some folks back in Washington who refuse to admit that climate change is real. Politicians who say they care about military readiness need to care about this as well.

“I understand climate change did not cause the conflicts we see around the world, yet what we also know is that severe drought helped to create the instability in Nigeria that was exploited by the terrorist group Boko Haram.

“It’s now believed that drought and crop failures and high food prices helped fuel the early unrest in Syria, which descended into civil war in the heart of the Middle East.”

Tackling climate change has become one of the main aims for Mr Obama before he leaves office and he intends it to be a major part of his legacy….

    They should have pelted him with eggs and tomatoes and booed him off the stage. He truly deserves such treatment when he conducts himself like this in a public speech.

    Hey, Obama! What about your infamous Cairo speech which gave the nod to the Muslim Brotherhood and others and virtually IGNITED the Arab Spring nightmare? And what about their Koran and the hadiths that tell the life story of their hero, Muhammad? These jihadis are only following EXACTLY as possible what’s in those texts, the core of their religion that they bow down to and bang their heads five times a day. And those things didn’t “fuel” all this but a drought did???

    So is the California drought going to fuel an Islamic supremacist uprising, Obama? According to your fantasy-denial logic, it sure should!

    “Tackling climate change has become one of the main aims for Mr Obama before he leaves office and he intends it to be a major part of his legacy….”

    HIS LEGACY? His legacy is blazing across the Middle East and northern Africa right now in jihad civil war. His legacy is being written in endless rounds of race riots across the United States that he has done NOTHING to constructively address. His legacy is a bombed health care system fix that doesn’t work effectively. His legacy is a national crisis on America’s southern border.

    So I suppose it’s fitting that his own fantasy legacy is based on a fantasy! What in the hell are you doing, Obama, about the world’s biggest polluter, CHINA? Huh? ZILCH.

    The ‘grievance’ in the Koran is that most people dismiss Mohammed as a delusional, possessed charlatan and his ‘revelations’ as bad dreams and stolen passages from old books of mythology.

    Sharia law imposes the death penalty on non-Muslims who criticize Mohammed and all Muslims are authorized to act as vigilante murderers with impunity.

    That’s ‘the grievance’ in Islam.

    Perhaps it’s the other way around: terrorism, lawlessness, and random armed robbery, kidnap, and murder cause poverty. Who would want to invest capital in such a situation?

    But, the Obama administration, in its war against police, effective law enforcement and property rights, is doing its part to augment the natural poverty that street gangs, fatherless uneducated youths, and corrupt affirmative action administrations are doing so much to advance.

      ………………………….

      This is very true, Ronald—we saw this in Egypt after the revolution there. And things are not yet back to normal. And even before this, rational people have always been less inclined to invest in corrupt, chaotic, inefficient Muslim countries, except for those with large unearned oil revenues.

      And not just in terms of international investment, but even in terms of locals wanting to invest in so much as a falafel cart. In the worst Islamic hell-holes, even free enterprise on this elemental level is frequently lacking.

      How could this *not* lead to poverty?

      The fact is that—when factoring out oil wealth—every single Muslim-majority country is poorer and has lower standards of living and educational levels than their Infidel neighbors. And this is true *whatever* financial system the Kuffar nations in question use, which is quite telling.

        This quote compliments this parallel: And my *duty* is to tell the truth, not lie to further the evil exploits of this trouble maker.
        (Revelation 17; 19; 20 [chapters])

        Somebody should whisper to our POTUS’ ear that climate change is cyclical and that climate change occurred several times here to our earth even before the wheel was invented. BTW, Mars demise was not caused by humans either; which is another indisputable fact. The Sun did it. Why does climate changes cyclically? That fact; only God knows why!

      To TH- President Obama’s nonsense about “global warming and jihad” really makes me puke. But, I was under the impression from a well respected source like The Union of Concerned Scientists out of Cambridge, MA, that global warming is real. The ozone layer has been deteriorating for at least 30 years. And emission particulates in the atmosphere don’t help our lungs, as there has been a big uptick in asthma, especially in children. So I would sincerely like to know your references because of your comment that “global warming is a lie meant to impoverished the west.” I never heard that before, and I have tried to keep up with this issue for 10 years. Thank you.

        “To TH- President Obama’s nonsense about “global warming and jihad” really makes me puke. But, I was under the impression from a well respected source like The Union of Concerned Scientists out of Cambridge, MA, that global warming is real.”

        You will find very few organizations commenting on this issue have bothered to poll their membership, to see if even their own people agree with the AGW fraud. Very few actually do. The ‘position’ taken by the whole organization, is routinely railroaded through by a small cadre of less than second rate scientists, who have their snouts very firmly and greedily shoved into the government money trough. The polls of scientists done, that actually use scientific methodology, without exception show that the faith in this religion (second only to islam (RTC) as a threat to human life and wellbeing), is a minority position…. held by those producing shabby, mock scientific reports in return for government money….

        “The ozone layer has been deteriorating for at least 30 years.”

        False. It has always been in flux. The supposed cause of the non-existent ‘hole in the ozone layer’, PCB’s, cannot reach the ozone layer… they are much, much to heavy.

        ” And emission particulates in the atmosphere don’t help our lungs, as there has been a big uptick in asthma, especially in children.”

        As an asthma patient, and a recent one at that…… There are dozens of causes of asthma…. and particulates in the west have been dropping for decades.

        ” So I would sincerely like to know your references because of your comment that “global warming is a lie meant to impoverished the west.” I never heard that before, and I have tried to keep up with this issue for 10 years. Thank you.”

        I have been following this non-issue for 40 years…. My education includes the subject matter, as well as an extensive IT background…. And I find it hard to believe that someone following this issue for 10 years, has never heard one of the most common attacks made against climate cons like algore, the hockey team, a con-artist from NASA, the utterly farcical and outright fraudulent IPCC and to many other greed and political power seeking criminals. Yes, I consider them to be outright criminals. Due to the fraud they are perpetrating, and the criminal motivation (power over mere people) that drives most of them.

        10 minutes on the internet (ignore desmogblog and other con-sites), should be more than enough to have ANYONE doubting this fraud, and the fraud he is in this instance trying to hide behind and exploit. And yes, as an IT professional, I know that you can find anything on the internet…most of it rubbish.

I am being honest, and I am not a time waster or engaging in games. What I know about climate change comes from The Union of Concerned Scientists, as I mentioned. Please, please clarify what you wrote about algore, a hockey team. NASA and IPCC, as I honestly do not know what your intended thought is. PCB’s? I never, ever heard they were too heavy to make a hole in the ozone layer. And, I do not understand why you use abbreviations like they are codes.

        Actually, Linde, the ozone layer has largely thickened over the past ten years, and there is no longer any sort of discernible hole. It is now thought by many that this may be a normal flux.

        More:

        So I would sincerely like to know your references because of your comment that “global warming is a lie meant to impoverished the west.” I never heard that before, and I have tried to keep up with this issue for 10 years. Thank you.
        ……………………………

        Some supporters of the idea of global warming—or the even more amorphous “climate change”—hold that the only way to repair man made damage is for the West to destroy all of her technological advances as a kind of penance and return to subsistence farming.

        Some are even looking forward to the great die-off that would result.

        This is hardly to say that all those who believe in man-caused climate change hate the West—not at all—but there is a definite subset of people who do.

        Of course, one can also question whether a return to subsistence farming would actually be better for the environment—probably not, since such a system would entirely lack our current efficiency of scale, but that is an issue for another time.

        And “hockey” is probably a reference to the infamous “hockey stick” chart, which seemed to indicate a huge spike in global temperature, but a great deal of information had to be ignored to come up with these figures. You can Google “hockey stick” and Mark Steyn (also a fine Anti-Jihadist) for more information.

        I could go on, but I realize that this is not really the forum to debate global warming (or climate change, or whatever term is now being used).

        As I noted below, Islam has threatened us through all sort of weather patterns, and it hardly matters—in this context at least—whether this is a serious issue or not; Islam is not a threat because of ‘extreme’ weather, but because of its ‘extreme’ ideas.

        Hope you’re doing well.

          I have been studying ‘alternative’ energy systems for decades now, one of my all time favourite books on the subject being ‘Soft Tech’, which, alas, was rather optimistic….

          On thing that SHOULD be jumped on, as it is not a band wagon, but the real thing…. Extreme insulation in the attic, moderate to heavy insulation in all exterior walls, go airtight with an air to air heat exchange system….. And passive solar for heating will work in almost any climate (excellent in my own area)…. Can be adapted for cooling, with simple mass wall construction…. retrofits are not cheap, but pay for themselves in a handful of years…..

          Later, of course, references to “global warming” have largely been superseded by “climate change”. Since the climate is always changing, it is now apparently unnecessary to present any sort of corroborating prood at all.

          I always look forward to reading your posts, Western Canadian.

          An attempt with only a portion……

          Sorry for the delay, I have very little free time….. I will be looking to see if anything that the University of Saskatcewan (SP?) has or had been doing with super-insulated housing is to be found….. About 35 and more years ago, they were building houses that, standing on the Canadian prairie in the middle of very cold winters (at that time -40 F was normal for several weeks), could be heated with a single incandescent light bulb….. VERY interesting stuff.
          The thing to watch for with this or any other issue, how much of any article deals with hard data and facts…. SOME name calling may be permitted, but if that is all that is offered…. run screaming to get away.
          http://joannenova.com.au/
          Jo Nova, massive number of very interesting articles, most of them at a level so the average non-expert can follow along. Occasional bit of Australian humour or iodem doesn’t hurt either.
          Scroll down on the home page, and on the left you will find several ‘HANDBOOKS’, free for downloading…. the ones dealing with the financial breakdown of who gets more money, are my personal favourites….. Follow the Money is excellent advice, and in environmental issues, the results are NOT what people have been told!!
          http://joannenova.com.au/about/index/
          Lisiting of article topics… suggest you start with the IPCC…. very much an eye opener.
          Also Mann(michael) for low down on hockey stick… Surface Records and Survice stations…..

          Thanks for the information on your career, Linde. Working with little kids can be great. (I also write and illustrate children’s books).

          I’m not in touch with Western Canadian outside JW, but I would like to be. I really enjoy reading his comments. I’ve always found him to be friendly as well as informative, but everyone can have a different impression.

          Thank you for your kind personal comments. And for what it’s worth—usually it doesn’t make much difference if people know my gender or not as far as my comments go—I am female.

          …………………………………

          Western Canadian, I have heard from several posters who have mentioned being unable to post multiple links in JW posts. They have said that that this is not a problem if they post one link per post—i.e., you could post a string of comments with one link per post.

          I’ve never had a problem with this myself—but I have heard of it frequently enough to know that it is an issue with some people (It may depend on what search engine you use—I had to switch from from Firefox to Safari).

          Anyway, hope this is useful.

          From my experience, more than two links and the post won’t automatically show up. I think it’s automatically flagged and placed on hold until approval by a staff member.

          Recently I tried to post a long comment and ended up redirected to a Sucury Security page. I split my comment in two posts and things worked normally.

          Thanks to GI and A for input, it does seem to be the case… will add a few more with minimal commentary.
          And GI, thank you for the kind words, I do have a hair trigger temper IN SOME AREAS, just ask Peggy…. certain memes are so without merit, that I lack the ability to NOT snarl when they show up…. I am rather stressed, which is no excuse, and am working on it….. (Stressed: 4 serious injuries in 7 years, massive financial grief, a heart attack…. siblings getting to an age where they are starting to go )…. just an average stressful life, I guess! Take good care of yourselves!

          To Western Canadian- I read some of the content on Jo Nova that you referenced for me about climate change/global warming. It was both interesting and mystifying. You must be a high IQ guy! God bless you and yours, and don’t stress.

      Absolutely, but what’s alarming is that he is a dangerous idiot with lots of support.

    Someone should have stood up and challenged him to name the author of that nutty statement. He made it up! Since when has Global Warming (caused by mankind) just a Hypothesis been empirically proven? There are many World Renown Scientists who dispute it but are denigrated by the “academic” community and I heard Obama tell them too. When I was growIng up scientists said the Earth was cooling.

    I know it doesn’t sound good coming from a Canadian but this Canadian is really an American at heart ! This I understand about THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION , It was Drafted to PROTECT AMERICAN Citizens from tyrants like King George etc . If I have this wrong Please correct your Canadian Admirer . If this is true I have one QUESTION : PUTTING aside My RESPECT for the OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT ! WHY IS THIS INCOMPETENT COWARDLY MAN STILL IN OFFICE ? WHERE ARE THE KENNETH STARS . IS the Lee HARVEY OSWALD METHOD the only way of getting rid of this man , who should be coaching INTER VARSITY BASKETBALL rather than destroying YOUR COUNTRY AND THE MIDDLE EAST . I’m really PRAYING THAT SOMEHOW HE WILL BE IMPEACHED, AND THAT HILLARY CLINTON WILL BE EXPOSED FOR THE LYING TYRANT SHE REALLY IS . P.S. IF PRIME HARPER IS REPLACED BY SENSITIVE NEW AGE LITTLE BOY JUSTIN TRUDEAU OR WORSE THE PACIFIST TYRANT THOMAS MULCAIR SOMEHOW I WILL FIND AWAY TO SEE YOU ALL SOON ! I’D want to live in TED CRUZ COUNTRY OF COURSE . COME TO THINK OF IT, I ALREADY HAVE HERE IN CANADA IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN !

      We just need to set our sights on 2016 and do what we can to minimize the damage Obama can do in the meantime.

    bama: Climate change “an immediate threat to our national security,” caused jihad in Nigeria and Syria
    ……………………………….

    Let’s see: Islam was a threat to Europe during the Dark Ages, when there were widespread famines and low tree-ring growth; during the Medieval Warm Period, when warmer temperatures allowed for the settling of Iceland and Greenland and the exploration of part of the coast of North America and a general population explosion; and during the “Little Ice Age”, which brought frequent devastating winters and crop failures.

    In other words, Islam is a threat. It is about ideology, not weather patterns.

    Memo to Mr. Obama. You’re the only threat to our national security, NOT Climate change.

    Obama is no idiot. Propagating the global warming myth is a way to justify imposing carbon taxes in order to achieve his communist wealth redistributionist goals. Making it into a national security crisis is a way to posture himself as a defender of National Security as he does nothing to stop ISIS. Maybe he’ll get the military to target global warming skeptics and lock them up the way he locked up Nakoula Basseley Nakoula for making an anti-Islam movie,
    Ships of pseudoscientists on the government dole get frozen in place in the South Pole in areas that were never frozen before. Ships sent to rescue those ships also get frozen in. Does that change the position of the Obama administration. Of course not, how are you going to impose a carbon tax if there is no global warming.
    This weekend there is a warning to home owners to protect their plants from unseasonable cold. The Artic, which Al Gore predicted would be gone by now is expanding in size. My heating bill is awfully large despite the lower price in oil. Given the choice between believing the meter on my oil tank or the Obama administration, I choose the meter.

    Another well planned ridiculous diversion. Pdt. Obama is not stupid at all, he is as mad as Qadafi was i.e. Not at all too : he makes what he makes on purpose and to harm, to get himself talked about. The sadist always finds pleasure in his misdeeds, proportionally to his victim’s reaction . When the latter doesn’t react or undersestimate he provokes : attacks, gives interviews here and then,etc… Despite this, I hope he will finish better than Ben Ali in Tunisia, or Fujimori in Peru.
