Jihad Watch

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

Juan Cole blames Charleston race murders on Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller

Jun 24, 2015 7:32 pm By Robert Spencer

juancoleUniversity of Michigan professor Juan Cole reveals how uninterested in truth and rational analysis the academic Left and the purveyors of the “Islamophobia” myth really are with this vile little blood libel. It was an imaginative attempt to validate the Left’s obsessive insistence that opposition to jihad terror is “racism,” but to say it founders on the facts is to understate the case.

First, Cole tries to breathe new life into the tired Breivik meme, claiming that “Islamophobes” “helped whip Norwegian white supremacist and terrorist Anders Brevik [sic] into a homocidal [sic] fever pitch.” That Breivik was a lone psychopath and not the vanguard of an army of “right-wing terrorists” stirred up by Pamela Geller and me is a keen disappointment to Cole and his comrades, and so in their need for bogeymen they have no alternative other than to keeping trotting him out, hoping that their readers won’t notice that he was singular, and years ago, and that he himself criticized me and the others who are supposed to have incited him to homicidal rage for being “to [sic] scared to propagate a conservative revolution and armed resistance.” In other words, he hated us for rejecting violence, which we’re supposed to have goaded him to commit.

Anyway, even more devastating for Cole is the fact that the murderous psychopath in Charleston, Dylann Storm Roof, in his own insane “manifesto” never once mentions me, or Pamela Geller, or Geert Wilders, or Daniel Pipes, or Islam, or Muslims. But that doesn’t stop Juan Cole. It is clear that Cole and his ilk so hate and fear us now that no leap of logic, no abandonment of rationality, is too great if it affords them a new chance to demonize us.

And why this venomous hatred? What about Pamela Geller and me moves Juan Cole to such a towering rage that he will make himself look like an idiot to defame us? Here is a clue: Juan Cole is on the Board of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), which has been established in court as a front group lobbying for the Islamic regime in Iran. Said Michael Rubin: “Jamal Abdi, NIAC’s policy director, now appears to push aside any pretense that NIAC is something other than Iran’s lobby. Speaking at the forthcoming ‘Expose AIPAC’ conference, Abdi is featured on the ‘Training: Constituent Lobbying for Iran’ panel. Oops.” According to the Daily Caller: “Iranian state-run media have referred to the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC) since at least 2006 as ‘Iran’s lobby’ in the U.S.” Iranian freedom activist Hassan Daioleslam “documented over a two-year period that NIAC is a front group lobbying on behalf of the Iranian regime.” NIAC had to pay him nearly $200,000 in legal fees after they sued him for defamation over his accusation that they were a front group for the mullahs, and lost.

Yet Juan Cole remains on their Board.

Note also his fixation on the fact that Geller and Pipes are Jewish.

“European Islamophobic Networks influenced Roof to Kill in Charleston,” by Juan Cole, Informed Comment, June 21, 2015:

The Muslim-hatred of the Geert Wilders and Marine LePens in Europe, for which Daniel Pipes, and Pamela Geller, and the whole Islamophobic network are cheerleaders and enablers, was a key influence on Dylann Roof, according to his manifesto. These same hatemongers helped whip Norwegian white supremacist and terrorist Anders Brevik [sic] into a homocidal [sic] fever pitch in July of 2011, when he killed 77 Norwegians for allegedly being soft on Muslims….

Where would he have found allegations that white Europeans are being victimized by immigrants? Here is what I wrote about Anders Breivik:

“Breivik’s passions were whipped up, according to his diary, by reading anti-Muslim hatemongers such as Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and Daniel Pipes (whose “Campus Watch” is an Israeli settler-oriented attempt to deny tenure to American academics critical of Israel’s oppression of the stateless Palestinians, and to harass more senior professors with character assassination).”

It was apparently similar writings and web sites that made Roof “completely racially aware.”

Unhinged millionaires and bigoted gadflies have a network funded by tens of millions of dollars. It is aimed at disenfranchising Muslim Europeans and Muslim-Americans and putting them under social pressure.

Ironically, some groups connected to the Islamophic Network are, like Geller and Pipes, Jewish. But their anti-immigrant, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim rhetoric backfired on them in Roof’s case, since he went on heartily to hate Jews, as well. Many American Jews, he held, are pro-African-American, and so he abhorred them, as well….

Or maybe Roof is an enemy of everything people like Pamela Geller stand for. But a compromised academic such as Juan Cole would never admit that.

      How did Cole get ‘islamophobia’ out of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church…a Trinitarian, Christocentric, Bible-based, born-again, blood-bought body of believers in Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life?

      The Board of Governors of his university should question whether this fantasist should be associated with any institution of higher learning. He is a paid progandist, rather than a serious researcher.

      Propaganda lowers the prestige of any school, especially when the propaganda is unsupported by any substantiating fact.

        Oh Mortimer, you are so soooooo wrong!

        YOU are looking at this in a rational, altruistic, just manner. But it is precisely Cole’s ‘fantasist’ , ‘paid propagandist’ qualities which make him a perfect fit for a school as excruciatingly Lib as UM/Ann Arbor.

        And Cole is the norm, not the exception as David Horowitz-the expert on the matter of our tyrannical colleges-here demonstrates: https://youtu.be/ownvVnxRaUY

          @Kathy

          The problem with the so called educated class is, that they read a quran with a filter on. The quran contradicts itself and if one is not familiar with the fact that later verses are more important than the older ones.

          They read that one should not murder, not cause injustice on earth and therefore interpret that Islam actually is against such things. What they do not realize is, that this is only true from the Muslim point of view.

          Ask the jews of Arabia, the Christians and the pagans wether or not Mohammed and his gang caused injustice and terror – they would all say “yes”.

          Killing of innocents is forbidden in Islam – but the “intellectual” elite does not understand, that a Kuffar is not innocent, they do not understand that Jews and christians who do not accept to be ruled by Islam are not considered innocent by islamic scholars.

          They do not know that Mohammed raided villages at dawn, enslaved and raped and killed.

          In essence they just can’t believe that a religion could actually teach hate and violence against othes. They’re so focused on christianity that they don’t realize at all that even tough the americas were violently conquered and the church caused huge evil, that this had nothing to do with Jesus – while the Muslim violence has everything to do with Mohammed.

      Juan Cole is part of the 25% that hate America. He should be identified for what he is but this will not happen since the MSM is part of the 25%. Robert and Pamela should feel proud to have him attacking them.

      The bigger problem is the 25%. Louis Farrakhan, Bill Ayers, Islamic terrorists, most leading Muslims and Communists, most criminals, and many leading Democrats are in that 25%. The big question is if Obama is in that group. By his actions, he has shown that he too may be in that 25%. We must remember that it only took 30% of German citizens to deliver Hitler to the world.

    My comment to Professor Cole- I insist that I am opposed to Jihad terror. I insist that I hate Islam. I insist that I do not hate Muslims, and would never think to hurt them or anyone else, unless I was attacked first. If that makes me a racist in your playbook, then you need psychological counseling. I’m sure your job offers you medical coverage, go for it!

    Juan Cole can very well serve as the poster boy of what has happened to higher education in America.

    I know. I spent almost a third of a century teaching history at the college level and, I can assure anyone, that higher education, at least in the colleges of liberal arts and education, should now be referred to as “higher indoctrination.”

    Truly, unless you’ve been there (and I’ve been there) it is deuce difficult to grasp just how polluted higher education has become in the US. As an example, I taught a required course in Western Civilization at the small college where I worked for 29 years. Now, not only has this required course been eliminated, but all history requirements have. When I complained about this shortly before retirement to the new head of the academic faculty, she responded, and I quote, “We don’t need a basic Western Civilization course since all our teachers are teaching about Western Civilization.” As another example, at Northwestern University, not only has any history requirement been terminated but ALL students, whatever their major, must take a course in diversity. (See what I mean?)

    As bad as the MSM is in America, I submit that college education is even worse. Yes, it’s become this awful. Juan Cole functions as ipso facto evidence of this. So, it comes as no surprise to me this educational mediocrity would have said what he did about Geller and Spencer. In fact, what has also become pervasive at the college level are liberal professors who, unless you agree with their opinion, you face bad grades. This too I witnessed first hand where I taught. What a mess.

      Jun 25, 2015 at 5:20 am

      You opened my eyes, dear Wellington, that means this Cole boy is no exception American academia. It’s absolutely crazy. What the young students really need, is be be enlightened about our wonderful Western civilisation. So they become open-minded to other civilisations as well. But they teach them how bad Islamophobia is. I think it was Erdogaga who said, it’s a crime against humanity, well not in our books. It’s preposterous how Cole distorts the truth. He and Roof are two of a kind, racist to the core. But never let get facts in Cole’s way. Roof killed people in a church, not in a mosque. He doesn’t care about religion he only cares about skin colour. Cole’s accusations are so ridiculous.

      What really worries me is the mental future of our children Indoctrinated by all this PC and MC shit how can they become open-minded citizens? Mind you in Europe it isn’t any different. Here the teachers indoctrinate their students in the same way.

      But please tell me more about Fiona, I haven’t heard of her yet. As a new president I had Ted Cruz in mind. He loves Israel and opposes BDS.

      All the the best to you and your loved ones, take care my friend

        Jun 25, 2015 at 8:39 pm

        Hi, epistemology. Hope this missive finds you well.

        Respecting Carly Fiorina, she is a highly successful business executive who has a couple of Master’s degrees from Maryland and MIT (she was a philosophy and medieval history major at Stanford for her BA). She is very smart, a cultured Renaissance woman, and takes no prisoners, all of which I like. She has not held political office but she did run (unsuccessfully) for the Senate from California against a notorious leftist, Barbara Boxer. She understands how the political system works in America and one thing after another that she says I find myself in agreement with. Worth keeping an eye on her most definitely.

        Ted Cruz is very smart too and, like Fiorina, a true friend of Israel. Either one would be acceptable as the Republican candidate for President. Right now, I prefer Fiorina to Cruz but things are quite fluid and who knows who will oppose that god-awful woman, Hillary Clinton, for President come 2016. BTW, I don’t think it’s a given that Hillary will get the Democratic nomination. A likelihood but not a given. There are many on the Left who don’t trust or admire her, let alone a loathing of her by those on the Right. She really comes with a lot of baggage and the movers and shakers in the Democratic Party know this. Again, matters are very fluid. Take care, my friend.

      Brigitte Gabriel addressed the Family Research Council (and it was riveting). At one point she read out a litany of universities, colleges and community colleges that have received millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia to build Middle Eastern wings in order to have a presence of Islam. Has this resulted in a very real compromise at these institutions and if so, in what way? She also said that there are more Muslim Students Associations on campuses than any other groups. How has this presence affected life at universities?

    Look, it goes much deeper than this. They were seen near Cape Canaveral on January 28, 1986. We have evidence they were on the grassy knoll on November 22, 1963, and I’m sure that Pamela Geller is connected with the sinking of the Titanic. Iceberg? Clearly a Mossad codename.

    the problem is they started out in the flower power era their initial rhetoric didnt start with todays concept of jihad and the trappings of islam.

    thankfully this sort and ilk of the noam chomsky era can successfully be rebuked now, the problem is they harvest traitors for Muslims inside the same circles.

    The students.

    Unfortunately this creates characters such as finklestein who refuses to be pacified ever because he probably saw noam create a living selling his Judaism for 30 pieces of silver.

    so now what we see is….

    Unpatriotic students upholding the phony cause which islamaphobia because it’s part and parcel of the phony Palestine cause at the same time, egged on from self hating Jews selling books as traitors.

    Juan Cole blames Charleston race murders on Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller
    …………………………………….

    What *grotesque* calumny. Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller have never espoused violence or any sort of racial hatred.

    More:

    The Muslim-hatred of the Geert Wilders and Marine LePens in Europe, for which Daniel Pipes, and Pamela Geller, and the whole Islamophobic network are cheerleaders and enablers, was a key influence on Dylann Roof, according to his manifesto.
    …………………………………….

    More lies—in fact, Roof never once mentions any of the above individuals, nor anything about Islam at all. Nor was he targeting anything Islamic—instead, he was targeting Christians, just as violent Muslims do.

    And Spencer and Geller did not inspire Breivik, either—in fact, he noted that he was inspired by the tactics of Al Qaida.

    More:

    More:

    Unhinged millionaires and bigoted gadflies have a network funded by tens of millions of dollars. It is aimed at disenfranchising Muslim Europeans and Muslim-Americans and putting them under social pressure.
    …………………………………….

    *This* is how Juan Cole characterizes opposing violent JIhad. Apparently, he believes that resisting Jihad terrorism and brutal Shari’ah law amounts to “disenfranchising” Muslims. *Good God*.

    More:

    Ironically, some groups connected to the Islamophic Network are, like Geller and Pipes, Jewish. But their anti-immigrant, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim rhetoric backfired on them in Roof’s case, since he went on heartily to hate Jews, as well. Many American Jews, he held, are pro-African-American, and so he abhorred them, as well….
    …………………………………….

    What a sick implication—that opposing violence “backfires” if racists and terrorists then hate those who uphold civilized values. I’m sure Roof hates people like Geller and Pipes not just because they are Jewish—although this is very much a motivating factor—but also because they are non-violent non-racists who stand against intimidation, murder, and terror.

    This would be like saying the things “backfired” against anti-Fascist Jews in the 1940s when Nazis turned out to be antisemites. What bizarre “logic”.

    More:

    Or maybe Roof is an enemy of everything people like Pamela Geller stand for. But a compromised academic such as Juan Cole would never admit that.
    …………………………………….

    Exactly so. But Cole could never admit such a thing…

    Another good example of someone who sees racism as the only evil in the world, but misapplies the concept to mix up culture or ideology with race. Islam is not a race, but it is a belief system of other cultures, so that its critics are accused of attacking the people of those cultures. This may seem like the harmless, but forgivable mistake of a well-intentioned, though overzealous person, but it cheapens the whole debate about real racism and shuts out constructive criticism of harmful ideas.

  13. gravenimage says

    Jun 24, 2015 at 9:58 pm

    Just slightly off-topic—I was doing some research on Juan Cole and ran across this disgusting article. It has one of the most grotesquely minimizing lines of recent memory:

    “The shooting at the cartoon exhibition in Texas is a new lowpoint in the U.S. culture war over Islam.”

    This was, of course, a plotted massacre of Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller and everyone else present at the art exhibit—in other words, a bloody atrocity—and it is just characterized as a “culture war”, as though it were Christians and atheists non-violently wrangling over whether publicly-funded nativity scenes belong in the town square.

    Notice, also, how the author draws implicit moral equivalence between the shooters would mass-murder an auditorium full of unarmed gallery goers and police shooting the gunmen to prevent just such an atrocity.

    “Islam, Hate, and the Texas Shooting”

    http://www.progressive.org/news/2015/05/188125/islam-hate-and-texas-shooting

    This apologist for evil—who prominently features Juan Cole quotes in his piece—predictably concludes that the defenders of our freedom of speech were as culpable as the homicidal Jihadist gunmen. *Ugh*.

    There’s a phrase for this: Grasping At Straws.

    And there is a good response that works very simply and knocks this troll down:
    Call him on it. In the social media.
    The attack was against black Protestant Christians.
    This attack had NOTHING to do with immigrants, Near Eastern people, or Muslims or Islam. Obviously.
    But the point is to make Juan Cole pay for his ridiculous and desperate attempt at tarring Geller and Spencer with the same brush.

    Of course Juan Cole is talking nonsense. But nonsense like this succeeds by piling it on the victim and suffocating the victim. The only useful answer to this is not to comment here, but to hammer on jerks like these and make them feel the pain for their transgressions.
    It’s really that simple. You can get real leverage off this guy’s mistake if you want.
    Just take it to the street. This is not the public street. Take the message out to the general public and nail the bad guys when they try to pull garbage like this.
    Juan Cole is not just dead wrong, he is also being dishonest.
    So strike back and deprive him of his credibility and knock down the credibility of his fellow trash-talking bad guys.
    Public response is necessary or the bad guys bury the good guys like Spencer and Geller. We have to actively support the good guys in the GENERAL public space. It’s hard being a leader/ good guy and taking hits all the time. Good guys need back up. See what you can do in the public space.

    My hopeful thought is that the more leftist types like this keep talking – take down the flag, micro-aggressions, BDS movements, Islamophobia, Transgender acceptance, etc – the more they reveal how crazy their ultimate agenda is. My hope is that this stuff wakes up people who have sat on the sidelines until this point, to just how far the culture wars have gone and that these people take a stand.

    It was changing back when I was in college. There were only three people in the basic philosophy course who argued AGAINST collectivism back in the late 80’s/early 90’s and we were the pre-law and philosophy majors. Everyone else said, hey this is good, we all benefit. It took the professor and our arguments over at least 2 sessions to have these idiots realize the coercive part of the collectivist equation. Thank whatever higher power that our professor was a serious critical thinker.

    Professor Cole sure has a way with names: he gets them wrong so often.
    It’s Anders Breivik, not “Brevik”. And who is this Marine “LePens” he refers to? Is she the heiress to the Bic Pens fortune? He refers to Daniel “Pipes”, but “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.” These errors can be attributed to distraction, as Juan Cole abandons academia in favor of his music career, under his rap name J. Cole; see

      “These errors can be attributed to distraction” – nope, not distraction. His mistakes are the result being disconnected from the real world which happens when one has his head entirely up his ass. He needs to realize that computers have spell checkers and that there are no spelling lessons in a rectum. Rather than sucking up to islam, he should have learned by now that academia would be the first to be beheaded or drowned in a cage by daesh and it’s islamist supporters like cair here in North America. He is possibly only still alive because islamic terrorists see him as a prime example of a really stupid infidel.

    I am a senior citizen, and i was brought up thinking and being told that being a University professor was about as high and as respected as one could aspire to in the education system. What happened? The more of these university employees I met over the years, the less enamored and respected they became. For God knows what reason, they now and possibly have always assume that they are special, that they are privileged, that they are somewhere on a higher level than the common man. In fact, most of these “professors” live in their own little protected and tenured world, insulated from reality. We would think that in order to be relevant at the so called high level of education that they deal with and for the stupid amount they are paid that they would at least spend some time trying to keep up with developments in their field, to try to partially justify why they even exist. Instead, most have their heads so far up their asses they have made themselves irrelevant. They have become like Judges and politicians who assume that they know better than you and I. Crap.

      Ninety: You nailed it too, along with Face.

      And one need not be a ‘senior citizen’ to remember in what admiration, respect professors were held. But you are right-they have become (with some religious exceptions, in our Christian/Catholic universities) tyrants.

    My dear Celtic: The ‘filter’ you describe is omnipresent with the Leftist ‘elite’. You so exactly analyze what they do in re: Islam!

    The feel-good passages in the Koran are dishonestly cited as exhaustive, definitive. When of course-as you point out-they are erased by the latter passages, not to mention the Hadith (Life of Mohammed).

    Now why does islam-not Catholicism, not Christianity, not Judaism-rate this preferential treatment? Why, it’s the wonder of Multiculturalism, what else? Anything American/Western/White/Male is odious; anything different from that, is automatically elevated, favored, ‘filtered’ as you say. Thus the ‘filter’ is applied to the Left’s other chosen ones: Women, homosexuals, lesbians, illegal aliens, transgenders, Blacks, etc.

    The great and brilliant D’inesh D’Souza nails it here: https://youtu.be/yQf9RvsFjWg
