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

Hamas-linked CAIR demands apology from Scott Walker for “enabling ISIS” by referring to “radical Islamic terrorism”

Aug 29, 2015 2:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Robert McCawThe Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, is in full outrage mode at Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker, trying to intimidate him into speaking less accurately about the nature of the jihad threat. It’s their usual tactic: charging anyone who dares to note the Islamic character of Islamic terrorism with “hatred” and “bigotry.” Usually this works, in our cowed and confused culture, and Hamas-linked CAIR seems to have won at least a partial victory over Walker — we’ll know for sure who won when we see if he ever uses the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” again.

Aside from Hamas-linked CAIR, that is a stupid phrase anyway. Is there “moderate Islamic terrorism”? If not, then why use the word “radical” at all? Because even Walker, for all his courage in standing up to the forces of politically correct authoritarianism in other contexts, can’t bring himself to use the phrase “Islamic terrorism” straight, without a modifier — he knows the firestorm that would ensue, and so draws back. Now he will probably draw back even farther. And yes, I am well aware that however watery and weaselly the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism” may be, Walker has already distinguished himself as more forthright, honest and courageous than most of his rivals just by using it. Most of them won’t even go that far toward the truth about the jihad threat.

More below. “Muslim advocate: Scott Walker is ‘enabling ISIS’ with ‘radical Islam’ rhetoric,” by Jesse Opoien, The Capital Times, August 29, 2015:

A representative for America’s largest Muslim civil liberties advocacy organization said Gov. Scott Walker is “enabling ISIS” by allowing the terrorist group to co-opt the Islamic religion.

“With this, Scott Walker is actually enabling ISIS by characterizing their acts as being Islamic terrorism,” said Robert McCaw, government affairs manager for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “He is taking a peaceful religion of 1.6 billion people and misappropriating it to ISIS, allowing them to wrap themselves in the religion’s name and stake a claim to it.”

Here again we see the familiar sleight-of-hand. Hamas-linked CAIR would have us believe that Scott Walker is responsible for allowing the Islamic State “to wrap themselves in the religion’s name and stake a claim to it,” as if no one ever associated ISIS with Islam until Walker started talking about “radical Islamic terrorism.” In reality, people associate the Islamic State with Islam because the Islamic State associates itself with Islam, and nothing Scott Walker says or doesn’t say is going to change that. No young Muslim is going to decide to join the Islamic State because a non-Muslim politician referred to jihadis as “Islamic extremists,” thereby validating them as Islamic. No Muslim looks to non-Muslim authorities to validate what is or isn’t Islamic and who is or isn’t a Muslim. Hamas-linked CAIR’s real objective here is obvious: to intimidate Walker (and everyone else) into never speaking of Islamic terrorists as Muslims. Why? So that American Muslim advocacy groups such as Hamas-linked CAIR will not be called to account for not doing anything to stop jihadist recruitment in mosques in the U.S., and instead opposing counter-terror programs all over the country — after all, those terrorists aren’t Muslims, so the true, peaceful Muslims can’t be expected to do anything about them.

McCaw was referring to Walker’s first foreign policy address as a presidential candidate, delivered on Friday at The Citadel military college in South Carolina, during which he referenced Islamic extremists or radical Islamic terrorism 11 times.

As a presidential candidate, there are plenty of things Walker has pledged to do differently than President Barack Obama. Chief among them is to use the words, “radical Islamic terrorism.”

The Wisconsin governor isn’t the only Republican presidential contender to highlight this difference. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal have also made frequent calls for a commander-in-chief who will declare the problem with forces like ISIS to be radical Islamic terrorism.

Obama has generally refrained from attaching a religious affiliation to terrorist groups like ISIS or Al Qaeda, referring to them as “violent extremists” and “terrorists.”

Addressing a group of foreign ministers in February at the State Department, the president made clear that it’s an intentional choice. He said those groups are “desperate for legitimacy” and should not be granted it.

“All of us have a responsibility to refute the notion that groups like ISIL somehow represent Islam, because that is a falsehood that embraces the terrorist narrative,” he said.

“All of us have a responsibility to refute the notion that groups like ISIL somehow represent Islam” — great. Where are the Muslim refutations of the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam? (There are some, but they’re mostly just exercises in detour and deception). Where are the programs in mosques and Islamic schools in the U.S. to teach young Muslims why they should reject the Islamic State’s view of Islam? There aren’t any. Now, why is that?

The president added that the U.S. is “not at war with Islam, we are at war with those who have perverted Islam.”

Walker’s tone was significantly different in his hawkish foreign policy address, which called for the U.S. to stop being “passive spectators while the world descends into chaos.”

The governor pledged to secure U.S. borders “at any cost,” fight terrorists abroad leaving “all options” on the table, restore the U.S. alliance with Israel and strengthen the defense budget.

He called for increased investment in counterterrorism and surveillance programs, implementing a no-fly zone over Syria, imposing harsh sanctions against Iran and restoring a strong alliance with Israel. He promised once again to terminate the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal on “day one” in the White House.

All of this was tied to an overarching theme of the need to “defeat radical Islamic terrorism.”

“The policy of a Walker administration will be to confront radical Islamic terrorism using the full range of statecraft options. We must give our intelligence professionals the legal and constitutional tools they need to keep us safe,” Walker said.

Jenni Dye, research director for the liberal group One Wisconsin Now, suggested Walker’s message was driven by the conservative Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation, whose president and CEO Michael Grebe is Walker’s presidential campaign chairman. Grebe also served as chairman for Walker’s two gubernatorial bids and his recall campaign.

The Bradley Foundation was deemed one of the “top eight funders of Islamophobia” based on IRS filings from 2001-2012 in a report by the liberal Center for American Progress. Recipients of Bradley funds noted in the report include the Middle East Forum, David Horowitz Freedom Center and Center for Security Policy.

“The virulent Islamophobia promoted and funded by the Bradley Foundation, run by Scott Walker’s campaign chair, is filling the void that is his foreign policy experience,” Dye said. “Even their millions can’t paper over the fact this guy is dangerously unprepared. His simplistic saber rattling reveals an ignorance of history and a shockingly cavalier attitude about sending the brave men and women of our armed forces into harm’s way.”…

While retailing all this far-Left propaganda, “journalist” Jesse Opoien doesn’t bother to inform his readers that Hamas-linked CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements. Its California chapter distributed a poster telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI; a Florida chapter distributed pamphlets advising the same thing. CAIR has opposed every anti-terror measure that has ever been proposed or implemented.

        When the ugly subject of Moslems come up, The Donald is quick to respond that many of his friends are Moslems, and that they’re fine people. That’s why he unbuckled his pants, squatted and shat upon the names of Geller, Spencer and Wilders after the attempted Jihad mass murder in Garland TX.

      Friday night just outside of Boston Trump had a get together with a bunch of local movers and shakers. He did his usual stand-up comedy routine. One of his targets was Hillary’s close assistant Huma Abedin. Trump went on about how Huma had access to all of Hillary’s e-mails and probably shared their content with her ex husband Anthony Weiner.

      Who cares about Anthony Weiner? What Trump should have been talking about is how did Huma Abedin whose whole family is deeply entrenched in the Muslim Brotherhood get a security clearance and a job as top adviser to the US Secretary of State.

        My sentiments exactly! Trump obviously doesn’t get it or if he does, he’s playing dumb. I think he is clueless about islam and muslims. When I heard his taunting assault on poor Huma, my first thought was “man, you’re worried about the wrong person, you should be worried about her family and her past and probably current connections to the muslim brotherhood! ” She is a mole planted right in the middle of our most sensitive secrets and I’m sure she’s sharing everything she knows with our enemies, which include every islamic state. This administration’s refusal to acknowledge that islam is the enemy of the free world, the West in particular, is more than my feeble brain can digest. And useful idiots like McCain, who must be suffering from some form of dementia, should get the hell out of politics when they are incapable of grasping reality. I know that muslims are permitted to skirt islamic law to advance islam, otherwise Huma would not be married to a Jew since muslim women are forbidden to marry non-muslim men. Anthony Weiner might have converted to islam to marry Huma and she puts up with his perversions because that’s what muslim women do. But I doubt if he converted which begs the question: how could a devout muslima marry a Jew? If I am not mistaken, Huma has a top-secret clearance despite her devotion to the muslim brotherhood. She has been an activist for the islamic agenda since her college days; her mother is the de facto head of the muslim sisterhood in Saudi Arabia,, and her brother spreads islamic propaganda in London. By the time Obama leaves office, every institution in this country will be teeming with muslim traitors and subversives.

    In order to effectively counter the threat of Islam to the West it will be necessary to amend the First Amendment. It is not ‘freedom of religion’ that should be protected but ‘freedom of belief’. If that amendment is adopted no one will be able to act on or advocate for criminal beliefs on the pretext that they are ‘religious’ – such as the Quranic injunction to ‘beat’ one’s wife. The Constitution was formulated at that historic juncture known as the ‘Enlightenment’ but I suggest that this is an unfinished project and it is only when things like the religious indoctrination of children in ‘faith’ schools and the charitable status of religious organisations is prohibited or revoked that the unenlightened forces in society can be effectively countered.

    • Kilfincelt says

      Aug 29, 2015 at 3:35 pm

      I don’t know that we need to change the first amendment as much as point out that the first war the U.S. fought was against the Barbary Pirates who were Muslims just practicing their faith when they demanded jiyzia (protection money) to leave our ships alone. Jefferson, one of our founding fathers, authorized it. That should be enough to show how the founders would have reacted to Muslim tyranny.

      Also, radical Islam doesn’t exist. It is simply Islam. Muslims who believe in peace are practicing a perverted form of Islam and are actually considered apostates by the true believers.

        Agree…

        How would US treat aboriginal cannibals if they moved to the U.S. ? Would US allow them to fully practice their religious beliefs? Like eating dead relatives and ritual killings and eating of advisories? I bet not, they why allow ANY religion, or anyone to violate U.S. Laws? Immigrants come toUS because their home country wasn’t satisfying to them- yet so often they bring their cultural garbage with them and work at making US like the country they left.because they don’t properly assimilate to the U.S. Laws and customs that made it great.

        Assimulate, or get deported!

    • Aussie Infidel says

      Aug 31, 2015 at 2:36 am

      JJ, Points accepted; but first we must define what we mean by a ‘religion’. In Australia (and probably the US too), no such legal definition existed, until the Scientologists challenged the Victorian government over its ruling that they were NOT a religion (and would have to pay taxes). There were plenty of definitions in the dictionaries, but nothing on the statute books. The ‘Sci-fiers’ won their case, but only after the High Court ruled on the definition of the word ‘religion’, which they defined as: “A belief in a supernatural being, thing or principle, together with canons of conduct to give effect to that belief.” But clearly, this is still not sufficient now that we must deal with the murderous Muhammadans. It says nothing about the moral tenets and behaviour of such a group – whether it follows the Golden Rule of conduct which is the accepted norm of civilized societies – ‘Treat others as you would have them treat you’.

      What is needed is an addendum such as: ‘and whose tenets and behaviours are in accord with the UN Declaration of Human Rights’ (UDHR). Quite deliberately, Muslims did not sign up to this most important document, but drafted their own Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI), which is strictly in accord with the Sharia – and the antithesis of the UDHR. The CDHRI requires Muslims to treat their ‘brothers’ according to the Golden Rule, but to hell with everyone else. Under Islam, Kafirs or infidels get only three choices – convert to Islam, accept dhimmi status or die.

      We can argue forever about freedom of religion or freedom of belief (which would be slightly better), the various Quranic injunctions, religious indoctrination of children, etc, but we will make little progress against Islam, because increasingly, it uses ‘lawfare’ to subdue its victims. To fight it, we must first have an acceptable definition of ‘religion’. We need to treat criminal religions, as we would any other organised criminal gang, and proscribe their activities forthwith. If we don’t have the guts to stop this murderous cult in its tracks, our civilization will eventually go extinct, like the ancient Romans and Greeks before us. And it will serve us right!

        Great points AI. As for the UNDOHR – the UN ITSELF, thanks to the pernicious influence of the OIC in that Body, has disgracefully abandoned the Golden Rule and the concept of ‘universality’ it embodies in favour of the non-universal, radical bifurcation of Islamic ideology which divides the world into believers and non-believers, affording rights and moral status only to the former. This whole video is worth watching but the segment discussing universality is at 6:55 – http://youtu.be/wZTQylcnjF8 We have to exit that Islamized institution too if we’re to win this civilizational struggle.

    The chickens are coming home to roost. In today’s Sun newspaper, we were treated to another article written by a muslim ADMITTING THAT IS IS ISLAMIC:

    “Our Western governments, more concerned about avoiding “Islamophobia” than saving lives, are quick to remind us the Islamist maniacs aren’t reflective of Islam, which is “a religion of peace”.
    But it’s time to confront the reality. IS is Islamic. Islam is a religion of many sects, and IS’s cruelty is based on one particularly violent interpretation of the religion, Salafism.
    Most Muslims are, of course, peace-loving. Yet even some Muslims who would consider themselves moderate hold reprehensible views that have no place in Western society.”

    How ironic that while Western multiculturalists desperately cling to the “IS has nothing to do with Islam” meme, muslims themselves are forced to admit that it has.

    Add this one to the growing “muslim admits………….” file, Robert.

    Sounds like CAIR is envious of Daesh taking the lead and claiming to be the next caliphate. Probably CAIR would like to establish the caliphate themselves. Me thinks other Arab leaders wanted to be the next caliph too… Turkey? Saudi Arabia? Iran?

    It’s good to see CAIR get involved in the campaign. Having them on TV demanding apologies from this or that candidate will help jostle Joe Sixpack from his slumber about the Islamization of America. Any public utterance by a Moslem is a win. CAIR is a ridiculous organization that does ridiculous things; even the awful Bill O’Reilly might be able to make himself look good reporting on this notable civil rights organization. Except that Bill is careful to avoid subjects that put his haid into a spin zone, I think that pole barn full of ghost writers he operates on Long Island keeps a running list of difficult subjects for him to avoid, or lie about when forced to comment.

    I can’t say that I’m optimistic that Walker has any sort of logical process concerning Islam or Middle East affairs.

    “He called for increased investment in counterterrorism and surveillance programs, implementing a no-fly zone over Syria, imposing harsh sanctions against Iran and restoring a strong alliance with Israel.”

    “no-fly zone over Syria…”

    Is that nuts or what? The only real resistance to the Islamic State in Syria is the Syrian government, the Syrian government flies sorties against the Islamic State, the Islamic State doesn’t have an air force…and Walker wants to institute a no-fly zone above Syria, which will cripple only the Syrian government.

    That’s like moron McCain criticizing Obama for not taking more steps to topple the Syrian government.

    Bobby Jindal came out with the same proposal.

    Some of the candidates seem to understand a cause-effect relationship, but Walker doesn’t seem to be one of them.

    DOES ISIS REPRESENT TRUE ISLAM?
    YES, AL BAGHDADI’S TEACHERS SAY, CONFIRMING THAT SCOTT WALKER IS RIGHT!

    “If a person who has a PhD in Islamic studies and does nothing but study the Islamic scriptures knows nothing about Islam, then who does?” questioned one of al-Baghdadi’s professors from the Islamic University.
    “The wine sipping Muslims, those hedonistic adulterers will tell the world what true Islam is? Obama and Cameron know more about Islam than the faculty of Islamic studies at the Islamic University in Baghdad?” the professor bellowed with rage.

    Another professor who had taught al-Baghdadi at the BA level said off the record that the Isis caliph was an ardent student.

    “He had this obsession with Islamic studies. I used to tell him to go out and have some fun sometimes. But his idea of fun wasn’t too human friendly,” the professor said. “In any case he was a top student. One of the best I’ve ever had. Had the entire syllabus on his finger tips – to be honest, he knew more about Islamic studies than most of the professors.”

    “enabling ISIS” by allowing the terrorist group to co-opt the Islamic religion.”

    A cunning false argument, designed to remove the link between Islam and terror acts. It’s similar to the recent suggestion that media should stop reporting violent acts by Jihadists. Or perhaps we should stop talking about Biker Gangs as it allows them “to co-opt the lawful use of Harley Davidson motorcycles”.

    The educated and intelligent know that the word ‘radical’; applied to anything Islamic is a disguise. The problem is that the word and its cousin extremist, has been generalized into the public minds by constant repetition by media types and TV talking heads. Even if you track ‘radical’ back to Islam and think Islam
    itself is radical, still misses the mark because ‘radical does not necessarily mean evil. The true nature of Islam is not ‘radical’, it is evil…

    • Western Canadian says

      Sep 1, 2015 at 10:18 pm

      In a more educated age, the term ‘radical’ would be understood to mean going to its roots: RADICAL islam (RTC) IS the correct term, and does mean the evil original. Unfortunately, the dumbing down of the west has been criminally successful.

      If a devout Jew or Christian studies and understands their doctrine and roots, they are ‘radical’, and will build a school or hospital if they have the means, or volunteer in one if they are of more modest means.

      If a devout muslim studies and understands their doctrine and roots (they would hopefully run screaming to get away from it), but their ‘radical’ state would be one in which they would burn down the school or hospital, preferably when they were full up with the hated infidels…

    “We will cast terror into the hearts of those who became infidels because they partner [other gods] with Allah which He did not send down with any sultan. And their abode is the fire, and evil is the place of the unjust.” Surah 3:151

    “If you gain mastery of them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so they would learn a lesson and be warned.” Surah 8:57

    “It was not for the Prophet to take captives until he had made great slaughter in the land.” 8:67
