Jihad Watch

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

Max Blumenthal warmly endorses pro-jihad, pro-stoning UK Muslim leader

Jun 13, 2015 5:05 am By Robert Spencer

Great to see @AsimCP & @UK_CAGE crew at #iprunderstandingconflict. They’re doing invaluable work and deserve support. pic.twitter.com/tUMhG7UTT7

— Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) June 11, 2015

Max Blumenthal is the hard-Left writer who helped Hillary Clinton concoct her wild story that the jihad attack in Benghazi was over a YouTube video that cast Muhammad in a negative light. So we know Max is a foe of the freedom of speech. He is also the son of Hillary’s close adviser, Sidney Blumenthal, who was involved with the Benghazi fiasco every step of the way.

Max Blumenthal is also an energetic purveyor of the “Islamophobia” myth, even recording an interview about it on RT the day before the Benghazi attack. “Islamophobia” is a propaganda construct designed to intimidate people into thinking it is wrong to resist jihad terror.

He is famous, of course, for vilifying Israel with falsehoods so lurid that Dr. Goebbels himself would be embarrassed.

And now we see the Leftist/jihadist alliance for what it really is in full, as Blumenthal warmly praises Asim Qureshi, the British Muslim leader whose support for jihad worldwide includes an open endorsement of the jihad terror group Hizballah, who has praised Mohammed Emwazi, the Islamic State beheader known as “Jihadi John,” and who refuses to condemn death by stoning.

This is what the increasingly authoritarian Left has come to: defaming those who defend freedom against jihad terror and Sharia oppression, furthering the advance of Sharia blasphemy laws in the U.S., spreading blood libels against Israel, stigmatizing and working toward criminalizing criticism of Islam, and lauding the proponents of Sharia oppression and jihad violence. And all of that is summed up in the unsavory figure of Max Blumenthal.

And yes, in case he deletes the tweet, I did get a screenshot:

      Pardon me for jumping in here, cs, but everyone reading this post should watch the interview video of Blumenthal that is mentioned above.

      AT 2:08, OUR BELOVED ROBERT SPENCER GETS MENTIONED — along with his “pseudo scholarship”. Max the Comedian ! ! ! Who knew he had such hilarious material ???

      BTW, if there is a contact path to him, readers here might want to give him a cordial friendly sentence or two about what an a**hole he has proved himself to be.

      More evidence that we anti-jihaidsts must oppose Shillary’s Presidential bid. She will bring the terrorists supporters like this scumbag and her aid Huma Abdein into high position in her administration. She could be worse than Obama when it comes to defeating Islamic jihad.

    I hate talking left vs right. But so be it. I have to this time. It really
    does seem like the “left” gets a free ride on Islam.
    I believe its due to the fact that other than the people who
    care and post on here ( obvious right wingers aghast !!! ) ,
    PEOPLE just dont care. POLITICIANS just dont care.
    Thousands are tortured , raped and murdered daily.
    Liberals practice “tolerance” and “freedoms” as long as you agree with them.
    In reality they only care about themselves.

    Shame.

      The only thing “liberals” are liberal on, are how much they can charge their clients, how much they can abuse the system, how many boys and girls they can play with, while in Cuba or Venezuela, how much they enjoy to display their superior opinions WITHOUT knowledge of the facts.

        I really wish that people would quit using ‘left’ and ‘right’ in an effort to define their own or anyone else’s standing….. outside of the French political structure, and for only a short time, it is not useful….

    One year ago the UK National Union Of Students refused to condemn ISIS. Just recently one year later they voted to boycott Israel.

    I thought about that.

    And decided, this is the Left in action again. Students are little more than children and can’t be held responsible for this. So who is influencing them, feeding their minds with this pro terrorism filth?

    The despicable LEFT and their alliance with the poisonous resentments of Islam.

      I sincerely wish that miserable island ALL the worst. It was the British who revived the name Palestine in 1918, after their victory over the occupying Ottomans.

      I truly wish to see violence on that island never seen since the invasion of the Vikings since 866.

      Jun 13, 2015 at 9:16 am

      I can see where you’re coming from, but it’s not so much an issue of
      stupidity but rather of agreement and subversion. They cannot
      possibly claim ignorance of what’s going on out there. I know
      people who have no real interest in politics or bother with the
      news much and who are more or less completely self-immersed,
      but it’s also quite clear to them what we’re up against.
      What’s Blumenthal’s excuse? Simple, there is none.

    • Don McKellar says

      Jun 13, 2015 at 12:51 pm

      Blumenthal is not stupid, but rather suffering from what afflicts all people who reside on either extreme side of the political spectrum, far left or far right. He has a bad case of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE which completely impedes his ability to think rationally. His left-fascist philosophy tells him that visible minorities must be protected and promoted at all cost. Because it is a racist philosophy at its core, it means that he views Islam as being the religion of visible minorities. Therefore, Islam must be defended and promoted at all costs, and those who are against it must be racists and evil. It doesn’t occur to him to actually research and understand what that person he is embracing believes in. It is because he holds this view that it doesn’t bother him that the person he is embracing follows a creed that commands Blumenthal’s death if he doesn’t submit to Islam and convert or pay jizya tax to moslems. And not only that, but this person also stands for and publicly endorses all the other cruel and evil things we see under sharia law across the world, which involves terrifying and killing minorities, women, gays, apostates, and any who say anything bad about Islam or its prophet. Asim Qureshi is the exact opposite of the liberal which Blumenthal likely imagines himself to be. Such is the magic of Cognitive Dissonance.

  9. Paul says

    Jun 13, 2015 at 9:09 am

    I doubt that Blumenthal’s ignorant of the nature of the man he’s currently
    sucking up to. Some believe that the “progressive” left are somehow naive,
    given their alliances with such people. I think such an assertion is in itself
    naive. Their mentality is the same of a suicide bomber – they’re so imbued
    in their hatred of freedom, democracy, human rights etc., that they’ll happily
    work alongside those who want to bring and end to those things too, even when
    they know they that too will eventually succumb. They’re much more totalitarian than
    any Nazi ever was but don’t want to think of themselves as such so they camouflage
    themselves with words like “liberal” (an insult to the genuine liberals out there) and
    “progressive” (i.e., “progressively” towards a less free and more subdued society).
    Only difference between Blumenthal and Anjem Choudary is that the latter is
    more honest.

    • cs says

      Jun 13, 2015 at 10:53 am

      Paul, I came from more or less the same milieu of this guy, I had serious reservations against Islam though, and I can tell, most of these people is profoundly ignorant of Islam, people follow what is trendy, it is not trendy to confront Islam, so people don’t confront or will lose friends and support. But what sort of friends…
      Time will tell the heavy price the left will pay for that.

      • Paul says

        Jun 13, 2015 at 12:03 pm

        We sure will see. They’ll be like the Nazi war criminals who,
        when brought to justice, claimed that they had no idea what
        was going on.

        • cs says

          Jun 13, 2015 at 3:35 pm

          No, I think many will defect before that. Islam will turn against them, some of them will realize what is going on and will leave the boat in horror.

      • Paul says

        Jun 13, 2015 at 7:15 pm

        I hope you are right and that I am being pessimistic, but I
        certainly agree that Islam will soon turn on them too. That’s
        what happened in Iran to those who helped the Ayatollah
        to power. That was the price paid by Lebanon and their
        suicidally liberal immigration policy, not to mention the
        liberal minded and tragically misguided journalists and
        aid workers captured and murdered by ‘Jihadi John’ (may
        he rest in hell). You’d think people would learn by history.
        I guess they’ll have to learn the hard way too.

        • PJG says

          Jun 14, 2015 at 7:26 am

          I think there will be mass conversions to Islam in the West.
          I am currently reading a book called “Islam in the Sudan”, an old history book (not PC) and I see how the Sudan fell to Islam:
          Ignorance
          Dawa
          Political benefit
          Preference to the alternative of slavery
          All these are currently influencing Western thought.

    Max Blumenthal is not just a cultural Marxist…he is a real Marxist. As such, he has no use for the truth. Information can be used any way HE SAYS, because implementing the Marxist agenda is all that counts.

    He is a master manipulator of Muslims, though they probably realize it better than he thinks (delusional).

    Muslims and Leftards both think they are outsmarting the other partner in this unholy alliance.

    By endorsing barbaric actions of barbarians, Max Blumenthal has stepped to the side of the barbarians.

    Max Blumenthal is a ‘salon’ barbarian.

    • Paul says

      Jun 13, 2015 at 9:30 am

      I agree. Cultural Marxists will rarely welcome being labelled
      as such, even though that’s what they are. Many today have
      repackaged themselves as “progressive” – watch out for them.
      This video puts it so well and gives you very a good insight into
      their mentality :

  11. mortimer says

    Jun 13, 2015 at 9:24 am

    It’s no small feat to be one of the world’s leading anti-Semites, but Max Blumenthal did it.

    In 2013, Blumenthal appeared in ninth place on that year’s Simon Wiesenthal Center list of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel slurs, reasons given being that chapter titles in the book Goliath were used to “equate Israel with the Nazi regime” and that Blumenthal had quoted “approvingly characterizations of Israeli soldiers as ‘Judeo-Nazis.'”

    Max Blumenthal hates Jews and hates America, a perfect friend for jihadists.

  12. infidelica says

    Jun 13, 2015 at 9:45 am

    I thought cage were supposed to be finished after the jihadi john fiasco.
    I think this is the result of the benefits system in the UK. People are kept topped up with money and apathetic as to anything else out with their own life.
    As long as nothing is done to peoples benefits, these sanctions etc while affecting a lot of people don’t affect anywhere near enough to cause unrest. While the benefits keep getting paid the UK will stay apathetic and compliment until its too late. Hopefully the majority wake up in enough time.
    All I want is to have the strength and ability to protect my family when it comes. The Americans at least have their weapons, we in the UK have nothing. Hopefully I’ll be able to smash one of them over the head and get a hold of his gun but the odds will be stacked against us big time. All non muslims are going to need to stand together when they kick off

    I get it now it’s genetic. How else can someone claim to identify being a Jew but hate everything about it but work for the end of Iur People and their self demise. No one wakes up thinking this way but passed from each generation there may be something to it. I’ve seen where Grandparents were Workmans Circle, their Kids universalists UN, secretly believing the Soviets had the answers and then their Kids hard hard left= everything is the West is bad

    As I noted over a year ago in an essay (The “Self-hating Jew”) on my blog:

    [quote:]

    Consider, for example, Sidney Blumenthal, well-known journalist (and former aide to President Clinton) and his son Max, an up-and-coming author and pundit:

    Sidney Blumenthal recently hosted a launch party for his son Max’s latest book, which makes extensive comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany.

    Then, referring to the recent mass murder of elderly Jews in Kansas by Frazier Glenn Cross who, it was subsequently learned, was an admirer of Max Blumenthal’s self-hating Israel-bashing:

    Max Blumenthal responded to the murder spree carried out by one of his admirers by attacking Israel, discussing on the hate site Mondoweiss the similarities between Zionism and Frazier Glenn Cross’s white supremacism.

    Aw, how cozy they look together, and how nice they’ve found some common ground: they both *hate* the existence of Israel.

    Ok a muslim who hates Israel DOES make sense to me because they’re unholy quran teaches hatred towards the Jews (and all non-muslims, btw). But a Jew who hates Israel ..well, I have a harder time understanding THAT one. And he certainly isn’t the only Jew to hate Israel, but I still don’t ‘get’ why *any* Jew would hate their Jewish homeland: Israel! ✡

  21. Tommo says

    Jun 14, 2015 at 5:03 am

    There has been a spate of anti-Israeli comment from Jews or ex–Jews recently. The latest being the artist and conductor Daniel Barenboim who supports sanctions against Israel and thereby aligns himself with thugs of the BDS movement.

  22. Colin says

    Jun 14, 2015 at 8:58 am

    At times when I think that my own country, the UK, outdoes everyone in fielding pure turd left wingers, people like Blumenthal force me to see that we are not unique in the category. A photo of Asim of Cage by himself is repulsive by any standards but to find someone with an affectionate arm round his shoulder is either highly skillful photo shopping or a living demo in double defecation.

  23. Alissa says

    Jun 14, 2015 at 10:37 am

    Why isn’t this creep (and others like him) demonized by Jewish organizations? I don’t understand the silence of American and European Jews. You would think they would be screaming from the roof tops because of the current rise in antisemitism. How many years has Hollywood beaten us over the head with endless documentaries and movies about the holocaust. I’m not complaining. They were in a position to educate the masses and effect the culture against antisemitism. More power to them. But now in a time of serious concern over a steep rise in antisemitism, there’s precious little said or done by Jews except for Pamela Geller. They could organize and create a movement especially since there are so many Jews in positions of influence and wealth. Yet nothing. Crickets. I don’t get it.

  24. Lioness says

    Jun 14, 2015 at 10:48 am

    Max Blumenthal is everything that the Islamists despise: a Jew, an American, educated. He will be the first to get his head chopped off when Jihadis take over. Right now he is a leftist useful idiot for Islam, but maybe he should look up the meaning of “Ythbah al Yahud” in Arabic (hint: it’s to do with Jews and a sharp knife).
