ESPN sidelines Curt Schilling for tweet comparing “extremist Muslims” to Nazis

Aug 25, 2015 4:27 pm By Robert Spencer

Curt SchillingCurt Schilling is under heavy fire for this, and has been removed from ESPN’s coverage of the Little League World Series. He is repentant and apologetic, but it may do no good: he may be facing more punishment, and is taking a beating in the mainstream media for being “insensitive.”

But what exactly is so offensive about his tweet? Is it that he compared “extremist Muslims” to Nazis? Surely that can’t be it. The Islamic State hasn’t murdered six million Jews, but surely would if it could, and meanwhile its gleeful bloodlust, sex slavery, terrorizing of non-Muslims and all the rest of it make the comparison reasonable.

Or was Schilling “insensitive” for daring to suggest that peaceful Muslims aren’t doing much to rein in their violent coreligionists? Well, let’s see. Last month, Muslims in Ireland held a demonstration against the Islamic State. How many Muslims showed up? Fewer than fifty. And in October 2014 in Houston, a rally against the Islamic State organized by the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) drew the grand total of ten people. In August 2013 in Boston, about 25 Muslims rallied against “misperceptions” that Islam was violent. About the same number showed up in June 2013 at a progressive Muslim rally in Toronto to claim that their religion had been “hijacked.”

And back in 2005, a group called the Free Muslims Coalition held what it dubbed a “Free Muslims March Against Terror,” intending to “send a message to the terrorists and extremists that their days are numbered … and to send a message to the people of the Middle East, the Muslim world and all people who seek freedom, democracy and peaceful coexistence that we support them.” In the run-up to the event it got enthusiastic national and international publicity, but it ended up drawing about twenty-five people.

Contrast those paltry showings to the thousands of Muslims who have turned out for rallies against cartoons of Muhammad or against Israel. Here are some headlines from the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre of Muhammad cartoonists in January 2015:

Chechnya: 800,000 Muslims protest Muhammad cartoons; protests also in Iran, Pakistan, Ingushetia, elsewhere

Pakistan: 10,000 Muslims protest against Charlie Hebdo’s Muhammad cartoons

Australia: 1,000 Muslims rally against Charlie Hebdo and the freedom of speech

Kyrgyztsan: 1,000 Muslims rally: “I am not Charlie, I love my Prophet.”

But given a chance to show how Muslims overwhelmingly reject “extremism,” only a handful show up.

So how exactly was Schilling offensive or insensitive, aside from having been a member of the Boston Red Sox? ESPN should restore him to active duty immediately, but it is much more likely that they will force him to issue a groveling apology first, or just fire him outright.

“Curt Schilling sends out insensitive tweet, deletes it minutes later,” by Israel Fehr, Big League Stew, August 24, 2015:

Curt Schilling, a 20-year major-league veteran and current analyst for ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, is no stranger to giving his opinion on controversial and divisive topics.

This time however, even he realized he crossed the line.

Schilling sent out the following tweet Tuesday morning from his verified Twitter account @gehrig38 featuring a graphic that compared “extremist Muslims” to the Nazi regime, then deleted it minutes later as the backlash and questions began to pour in…

He has yet to address the tweet directly but has engaged with a number of people and has accepted responsibility for what was sent out from his account…

ESPN released this statement condemning the tweet and confirming that Schilling would no longer be broadcasting from the Little League World Series this week:

Curt’s tweet was completely unacceptable, and in no way represents our company’s perspective. We made that point very strongly to Curt and have removed him from his current Little League assignment pending further consideration.

      “I’m appalled at ESPN and the mainstream media…”

      The mainstream media is a group of giant conglomerates, under the heel of bureaucratic regulators and in competition for the attention of a progressively less intelligent mass audience.

      The real news is given to you on the internet, compiled, presented, and analyzed by rebel intellects like Robert Spencer who operate with integrity on shoestring budgets.

      That’s very interesting. I never heard about that.

      It’s funny, because Whedon pioneered TV series with truly heroic, multi-dimensional women: Buffy, Angel (at least the first few years), and Firefly.

      But actual facts don’t get in the way of leftist fanatics on a mission.

    15% of Muslims say they support jihad terror groups. That’s twice the number of the Nazi hardcore. Should we be concerned about the 15%?

    Yes. Very concerned. Yet most people don’t realize how near and strong the threat is. Jihadist are free to walk Western streets like ticking timebombs.

    • Jaladhi says

      Aug 25, 2015 at 5:59 pm

      I would think almost all 100% of Muslims will be supporting jihad – it being one of their foremost duties as a Muslim! Perhaps only 15% have courage to admit it the pollsters.

    I agree that they shouldn’t be compared to the Nazis. As murderous
    and as psychotic as the Nazi regime was, at least they didn’t make
    women wear ridiculous bin bags, stone them to death for adultery
    if they were raped, or mutilate their own children. At least they didn’t
    hide behind their own women and children when they engaged in warfare,
    like what cowardly jihadists do when the going gets tough. Another crucial
    difference was that they didn’t have to nerve to try and evoke pity from
    others while they were killing people, which is what we are meant to do
    with devout Muhammadan murderers and their lying families acting like
    butter wouldn’t melt. Schilling’s “thought crime” is a much bigger
    controversy than the relentless butchering of apostates and Christians,
    gay people being thrown off buildings in front of baying mobs etc.
    The world’s gone completely insane. It will wake up to a reality when it
    all properly kicks off in the West.

    • RonaldB says

      Aug 26, 2015 at 12:11 am

      I know you didn’t mean it as an insult, but as the son of a refugee from the Nazis, I would absolutely not make a determination of who is more evil: the Nazis or the Muslims.

      • Paul says

        Aug 26, 2015 at 10:16 am

        Indeed, no insult was intended. The word “Nazi” should not be
        used lightly when people take into account the sheer scale of the
        atrocities carried out by that regime. And a note to silly idealistic and
        left-wing bubble heads out there : The word “Nazi” doesn’t simply apply
        to people who have views that differ from your own, and certainly not to
        those who oppose an ideology which you so often defend at other
        people’s expense and which aims to replicate so many things that the Nazis
        did. I know you lot only have three words in your vocabulary, none of which
        you actually understand but which you always love to scream – “Nazi”, “racist”
        and “islamophobe”. For goodness sake, please buy a thesaurus, learn your
        language and please read up on some history.

    “‘Israel should be annihilated,’ senior Iran aide says”

    Excerpt:

    A senior Iranian official on Tuesday said Israel “should be annihilated,” and that the thawing relations with the West would not translate into a shift in Tehran’s position concerning the Jewish state.

    Hussein Sheikholeslam, a foreign affairs adviser to parliament speaker Ali Larijani, told Iranian media that contrary to remarks by British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, “Our positions against the usurper Zionist regime have not changed at all; Israel should be annihilated and this is our ultimate slogan.”

    Well even Hitler preferred Islam to Christianity…

    *Hitler Quotes*
    “You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion [Islam] too would have been more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”

    “I can imagine people being enthusiastic about the paradise of Mohammed, but as for the insipid paradise of the Christians! In your lifetime, you used to hear the music of Richard Wagner. After your death, it will be nothing but hallelujahs, the waving of palms, children of an age for the feeding bottle, and hoary old men. The man of the isles pays homage to the forces of nature. But Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery. A n***** with his taboos is crushingly superior to the human being who seriously believes in transubstantiation.”

    “Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers -already, you see, the world had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity! -then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism [Islam], that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.”

    “The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death. A slow death has something comforting about it. The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science… The instructions of a hygienic nature that most religions gave, contributed to the foundation of organized communities. The precepts ordering people to wash, to avoid certain drinks, to fast at appointed dates, to take exercise, to rise with the sun, to climb to the top of the minaret — all these were obligations invented by intelligent people. The exhortation to fight courageously is also self-explanatory. Observe, by the way, that, as a corollary, the Moslem was promised a paradise peopled with sensual girls, where wine flowed in streams — a real earthly paradise. The Christians, on the other hand, declare themselves satisfied if after their death they are allowed to sing hallelujahs!”

    “…Christianity, of course, has reached the peak of absurdity in this respect. And that’s why one day its structure will collapse. Science has already impregnated humanity. Consequently, the more Christianity clings to its dogmas, the quicker it will decline.!”

    • Paul says

      Aug 25, 2015 at 7:11 pm

      So much for people who knowingly spin the tiresome lie that
      Hitler was a Christian. There’s also the fact that two of the Nazi
      war divisions were Muhammadan, one in the Balkans and the
      other in the Middle East. Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti
      of Jerusalem, also personally saw to it that about 400,000 Hungarian
      Jews were sent to the gas chambers. We are meant to believe that
      Muhammadan Jew-hatred is all over Isael-“Palestine”. I hate to
      be pedantic, but I always thought that 1941/42 preceded 1948
      and the creation of the state of Israel.

      • Peggy says

        Aug 25, 2015 at 11:57 pm

        Actually there we two in the Balkans. One was a Bosnian Muslim division and the other was Albanian called the SS Skandergerg division.
        The mufti of Jerusalem was in Bosnia inspecting the troops.
        Albanians like to lie and say how there were saving Jews but having a SS Skanderberg division tells a different story.

        Gerard asks “Islamophobe? Pray tell, what’d wrong with being an Islamophobe?”

        Answer is PLENTY is wrong with being an “Islamophobe” because you have just bought right into the Taqiya drivel churned out by muslim propagandists who use “Islamofauxbia” to get sympathy and blame their victims.

        Please note – a “phobia” is an irrational fear of something, and deemed to be a form of mental illness which manifests itself in an exaggerated, rationally baseless fear (eg: fear of open spaces = agoraphobia, or fearing closed spaces = claustrophobia and fear of the number 13 = triskadecophobia etc). The defining feature is that it is a fear without any good basis in reality. People with phobias often need psychological interventions to enable them to function normally.

        “Islamophobia” is by contrast a total fabrication – because all sane and rational people who are aware of the actual teachings of islam and who have any knowledge of history ARE PERFECTLY SANE TO FEAR this totalitarian dealth cult.
        So the taqiya merchants use this fabrication to smear any and all critics of islam, muslims and mohamad the self confessed profiteer, paedophile and pillaging pirate.

          Aug 26, 2015 at 12:16 pm

          Thanks Diana. No, I haven’t bought into their taqya. I’m aware of all you said. I just don’t think that arguing with name-callers gets anywhere. If someone called me an islamophobe I would reply “Yes and with good reason!” (I might then also explain their misuse of “phobia” as you have done.) Mostly I would just point out the BS in their name-calling ie: just take a look at the News!

          Thanks Diana. I agree with what you say. However I don’t see much point in arguing with name-callers. If someone calls me an islamophobe I’m inclined to answer “Yes,and with good reason”. I haven’t bought into their Taqya. I would then point out the phoneyness of the term “islamophobia”, as you have done. Depends on the circumstances.

    Kudos to Curt for honesty!! Islam is an ideology sharing much in common with nazism. Both of them are disgusting and need to be relegated to the dustbin of history. I suspect BIG bloodshed is on its way as ignorance and denial of the metastasizing islamo-satanism worldwide will, eventually, have to be faced head-on…and it’s going to be bloody!!

  16. Paul B says

    Aug 25, 2015 at 7:23 pm

    Actually, he is not really comparing Muslims with Nazis (though of course it would be valid). Rather, he is skewering the argument that because the “vast majority” are peaceful, everything must be OK. The vast majority of Germans in 1939 were peaceful, but that didn’t stop the “tiny minority” causing WW2. So even if you believe that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful (no comment), then it doesn’t follow that they will be able to prevent the “tiny minority of extremists” starting WW3. This is something I have thought for a long time.

    I am very confused about why his tweet was considered offensive. It’s criticizing extremists, not the entire population of Muslims, so what’s the issue?

    • Nimrod says

      Aug 25, 2015 at 10:55 pm

      Even if the 10% of the Muslim population that is “extremist” enough to complain to ESPN does so then ESPN will kowtow. So even if 90% of Muslims weren’t offended (and I don’t believe that, I think it’s 50% based on polls showing support for sharia law) that’s still at least 200,000 radical Muslims in the U.S. who are offended by the truth about who and what they are.

      If I were him I would resign from dhimmi ESPN if they refuse to back him and find a job elsewhere. His statement is perfectly true and perfectly reasonable. Anyone offended IS a radical, either radical Muslim or radical leftist ally, or a 2nd rank supporter of the same.

      The dhimmi kowtowing to the savages and their enablers is sickening.

The fact is, most newsmen who tell the truth, or at least attempt to do so with logic and integrity, publish on the internet, and are operating on a shoestring, supporting themselves through donations or unrelated day jobs.

          Aug 26, 2015 at 12:47 pm

          That is a valid point. I was effectively suggesting that he should switch careers, however the level of intolerance in society toward criticism of Islam is getting to the point where even that might not be sufficient.

          It’s incredibly pathetic that we have been reduced to the point where criticism of a Nazi-like pseudo-religion is being punished in such a widespread manner.

      “I am very confused about why his tweet was considered offensive. It’s criticizing extremists, not the entire population of Muslims, so what’s the issue?”

      Ah, Karine’s question palpates the very precise nodus of the whole Problem of the Problem. The description of that problem is that, indeed, the mainstream immediately translates any criticism of Islam or of a part of Muslims (whether one Muslim or a small group) into a condemnation of All Muslims.

      The short answer is that it’s because our mainstream PC MC culture racializes the problem of Islam, and sees any too-strong critique of Islam or of any group of Muslims as being tantamount to an attack on an antire Ethnos which, because it is perceived as non-white and non-Western, is powerfully magnified in terms of our obligation to “respect” it and avoid at all cost any negativity, lest we veer over into “bigotry” and “racism”.

      The closely related question which someone else asked me in another thread — why doesn’t the PC MC maisntream treat all other designated “ethnic peoples” with the same irrational deference with which it treats Muslims? — is a crucial component of the overall PC MC complex, which I tried to answer there. See:

        “The closely related question which someone else asked me in another thread — why doesn’t the PC MC maisntream treat all other designated “ethnic peoples” with the same irrational deference with which it treats Muslims?”

        That’s not a “closely related question”, that’s the “tl;dr” version of why you’re wrong.

What about ESPN’s corporate opinion, which I find execrable? Is ESPN not a cowardly censoring Islamonazi apologist? How much invested in Dubai does ESPN have? Can non-Muslims become Dubai citizens? What are their rights compared to Muslims in that wicked country, which is tame compared to other Muslim countries.

    How is it possible to be “insensitive” to those who rape, enslave, and slaughter the innocent in obedience to the genocidal pedophile Muhammad, who preached and practiced (among other atrocities), “kill the pagans wherever you find them” (Qur’an 9:5)?

    “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him”‘” (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177).

    Unless Schilling is accused of being “insensitive” to the Nazis, there’s no story here but ESPN’s continued perseveration in undermining Western Civilization.

    1940: 7%? Try to find anything that suggests 7%. There is no support for this statement.
    Hitlers Nationalist/socialist (Nazi) party was THE LARGEST in the Reichstag (German parliament) BEFORE Hitler became Dictator over Germany That’s about 1/3 of the votes cast.
    AFTER he became dictator, other parties were abolished, so polling data is without value.

      Obviously the tweet is referring to the number of registered Nazi party members, not voters.
      Shilling is already being generous to Muslims here, since many registered Nazis were simple state workers just trying to keep their jobs under Hitler. A better comparison is that 100% of Muslims are Islamonazis (just trying to keep their heads in a sharia state), but only 5-10% are SS-Islamonazis (extremist Islamonazis by choice).

    he should shout louder , like trump !!

    draw some attention to what he really meant
    highlight the FACTS instead of trying to please a
    dishonest media that is out of step with the main populace

    Robert should be condemned in the world wide community for his racist comment about the Boston Red Sox. I call on the mayor of Boston to extend his ban on Chick-Filet to include Robert, and follow the example of Theresa May of the United Kingdom in not allowing this rabble rouser within it’s boundaries.

    What’s next, a ‘DRAW TED WILLIAMS’ contest?

        There is the problem! There are some though who stand by the truth come what may. We call them heroes. Churches call them saints. The godless call them racist, islamopobe, sexist, narrow-minded, insensitive, intolerant, out-of-touch, behind-the times, and more.

    According to EX-Muslims such as Salmon Rushdie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Dr. Wafa Sultan, Serkan Engin and many other, Islam ITSELF as taught in Koran, Hadith and Sira-life of Mohamed is WORSE that Nazism, because aside from its totalitarian, supremacist and imperialistic ideology, Islam ALSO condones pedophilia, polygamy,rape, misogyny, looting , slavery and mass murder, as Mohamed did all those vile deeds and he is a role model for ALL “pious” Muslims.

    Unlike all other religions, Islam ITESeLF is not compatible with Western Constitutions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and thus has no place in any society that respects liberty, justice and human rights of INDIVIDUALS of all kinds. Ban all immigration and close all mosques, as Turkish EX-Muslim, Serkan Engin, suggested. But first. remove BIG Muslim Brother, Barack Hussein OBama and his ilk form power in America.

    Perhaps send those brave 3 Americans to take him out of White house, as UYS Congress and Supreme Court are clearly not doing their job of curbing his tyranny.

    Curt Schilling is condemned for simply presenting FACTS. Are simple facts now deemed to be politically incorrect or un-constitutional?

    The comparison with Nazism is not flippant:

    Belief in the preachings of one true “Prophet”. Totalitarianism. Disdain for democracy. Disdain for those who are considered to be inferior or even less than human – Jews, Christians , gays, gypsies, … Inhuman treatment or genocide of those whom you just don’t like. All as set out in the holy book. Global domination as the goal…

    Yet because Islam is a “RELIGION” we are required to treat it with “RESPECT”. But it is NOT a religion. It is a manual for political conquest and domination. Invented by one man in the 7th century who first thought of himself as a new Jewish prophet. Whose early preachings based on the Torah and Bible were rejected by the Jews and Christians of Medina and who then turned to bloody revenge. That is all set out in the Koran if you know how to analyse it. But because the Koran is a jumble of preachings in non-chronological order not even the average Muslim understands it. Google “Meccan Koran” and Medinan Koran” and Bill Warner or David Wood and that will be clearly explained.

    Here in Europe we see increasing Islamification of towns and cities. Increasing aggression. Terror attacks almost weekly, the new norm.

    Perhaps Hitler’s mistake was not to declare that Mein Kampf had been revealed to him by God. Then Nazism would be a “religion” and require “respect”. We might have seen National Socialists of God HQ in every town and city worldwide. Increasing aggression and violence… all protected from criticism in case it should “cause offence” to the “believers”.

    To be fair to Hitler, he didn’t encourage rape and enslavement of captives. Only genocide.

    The comparison is not flippant. We are back in 1936. Be warned.

    5% of 1.5 billion Muslims. That’s 75 million extremists.
