A Muslim student, Remaz Abdelgader, said to Sanders: “Being an American is such a strong part of my identity, but I want to create a change in this society. I’m so tired of listening to this rhetoric saying I can’t be president one day, that I should not be in office. It makes me so angry and upset. This is my country.” Sanders replied: “If we stand for anything we have to stand together and end all forms of racism in this country. I will lead that effort as president.”
What race is Islam again? I keep forgetting. What race is Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims, gays again? I just can’t seem to recall. That is what this controversy is really about: Ben Carson raised a legitimate question about the compatibility of Sharia and the U.S. Constitution. Sharia denies the freedom of speech and the equality of rights of women and non-Muslims before the law, and contravenes the Constitution in other ways as well. In 1960, John Kennedy was subjected to baseless prejudice as a Roman Catholic, and today Sanders and others consigns concerns about a Muslim President to an analogous baseless prejudice. But Kennedy actually addressed concerns, and assured Americans that he would obey and enforce the Constitution and no other law. Nowadays, asking a hypothetical Muslim candidate if he would obey and enforce the Constitution and not Sharia is “racism.”
So what would happen if a Sharia-compliant Muslim candidate did become President, and began working against the freedoms that the Constitution allows but Sharia does not? Would all those who voted for him simply congratulate themselves on their resistance to “racism” as their freedoms were eroded away?
“CAIR Welcomes Bernie Sanders’s Pledge to End Islamophobia and Racism,” Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, October 29, 2015:
CAIR logo(WASHINGTON, D.C., 10/29/15) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today welcomed Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’s pledge to end Islamophobia and all other forms of racism during a town hall hosted at George Mason University on Wednesday.
Yesterday, Sanders invited Muslim George Mason University student Remaz Abdelgader to join him on stage during a campaign stop and responded to her remarks about Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson’s position that a Muslim should not be president.
Abdelgader expressed to Sanders the personal impact that Islamophobia in the presidential election was having on her. “Being an American is such a strong part of my identity, but I want to create a change in this society,” Abdelgader said. “I’m so tired of listening to this rhetoric saying I can’t be president one day, that I should not be in office. It makes me so angry and upset. This is my country.”
Sanders responded: “If we stand for anything we have to stand together and end all forms of racism in this country,” Sanders said. “I will lead that effort as president.”
“What should have been an unremarkable statement against racism was made noteworthy because only a handful of presidential candidates have gone on the record to denounce Islamophobia,” said CAIR Government Affairs Manager Robert McCaw. “Bernie Sanders’s willingness to vow to stand together in eradicating Islamophobia and all forms of racism is inspirational.”…

There is a comment / remarks opportunity which will certainly reach the top dogs. PLEASE POLITELY LET HIM KNOW HOW HE HAS BEEN SUCKED IN TO PHONY ISLAMOBHOBIA.
Also mention that if he is a truly observant Jew, then eventually he will encounter Islam’s commitment to the destruction of the state of Israel, and Qur’an Jew hatred.
PAM GELLER would, I am sure, be available for conversation from Mr. Sanders, via Robert here : director [at] jihadwatch [dot] org.

Brown Muslim men are under the SPECIAL TREATMENT CLAUSE OF MULTICULTURALISM, so their misogyny gets a FREE RIDE from Leftarded cultural Marxists like Bernie Saunders.
It isn’t misogyny, bigotry, plunder, rape, wife-beating, terrorism, savagery, barbarism, etc., if BROWN MUSLIM MALES DO IT.
It’s THEIR CULTURE!

Bernie Sanders’s willingness to crush our freedom to criticize a vicious ideology is BONE-HEADED.

Bernie Sanders is delusional and simply needs to go to Libya Syria or Somalia for intense reality reorientation. He will be cured OR his head will adorn some fence post there
No Fear says
Remaz Abdelgader, you say the US is your country. It’s good to see that you, as a muslim, recognise the US constitution over the Sharia as the highest legal code in the US. Would you be willing to go on national television to educate your fellow muslims who feel that the constitution should take second place to the Sharia?
el cid says
“What should have been an unremarkable statement against racism was made noteworthy because only a handful of presidential candidates have gone on the record to denounce Islamophobia,” said CAIR
This is a good sign. The candidates know that “Islamophobia” is a semantic subterfuge. All except Bernie. I wonder why he don’t go to live in the Soviet Union after college?
mortimer says
Robert Spencer made an excellent point: Kennedy promised to put the US CONSTITUTION first. No practicing Muslim can put the US Constitution first, since a Muslim’s goal must be to impose Sharia law upon the dirty kafirs whether or not they wish it.
Koran 9:33 He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the idolaters may be averse.
Everyone Else says
BERNIE’S TWO BIG MISTAKES
1. Islam isn’t a race. “Fear of Islam” isn’t racism. Islam governs all aspects of life. It’s a totalitarian ideology masked as religion. By validating “Islamophobia” Bernie becomes a shill for the ideology that wants to destroy our way of life.
2. Bernie thinks if we play nice with Islam, Islam will play nice with us. He’s oblivious to the fact Islam is waging war against non-muslims all around the globe. Bernie typifies the left wing’s inability to comprehend that another ideology believes it’s superior to ours and is using all means to undermine our defenses.
Don Foss says
Let a Jew talk in front of a large Musim crowd about much of what is said about him/her by the Islamic god and “prophet.”
pdxnag says
So now we know that you (Candidate Sanders) want to personally promote Islam, in all its glorious evil.
Do you think that government itself should promote Islam by paying so-called moderate Muslims because they are not hyper-Islamists and by vigorously demonizing opponents of evil Islam?
Angemon says
And who doesn’t want to change the society that’s such a big part of their identity? Sorry, “fundamentally change”, as sheik Hussein would put it.
““I’m so tired of listening to this rhetoric saying I can’t be president one day, that I should not be in office. It makes me so angry and upset. This is my country.””
Well, try not to blow… a vein over it.
“Sanders responded: “If we stand for anything we have to stand together and end all forms of racism in this country,” Sanders said. “I will lead that effort as president.””
Huh, Bern? Racism worked for Obama because he’s black. It’s not going to work for you because you lack his sin colour privilege. Also, because you’re a mummified commie who thinks 2015 is 1955 and that whatever you did them will work just as well now. You handed over your “Presidential Candidate” card when you told the public they were tied of the Hillary email scandal.

Probably.

She’s *tired* and *upset* and *angry.* Oh, poor baby…no sympathy from this quarter.
What about Christians who are being slaughtered by her *brothers* all over the world, being made to leave home, pay money, see their kids kidnapped and killed…because of the unlawful code she lives by?
And she’s angry, and upset and tired because some people recognize the danger inherent in islam and don’t want her or those like her…adherents and worshippers of the beast from satan…to have governmental authority over them.
JeffS says
Of course she wants to “create a change in society”. That’s the problem.

Touching how some Jewish leftists can carry the concept of inclusiveness to the extremes of welcoming their mortal enemies. How many politicians in the Muslim countries reassure Jews like this – the few whom they haven’t driven out? I’d like to hear Bernie’s thoughts on Sharia, if he has any.
PRCS says
“I’d like to hear Bernie’s thoughts on Sharia”
I imagine it wouldn’t take much of your time.
Jeremiah says
Just keep it simple. Keep it focused. Bernie Sanders has now endorsed the line that sharia is compliant with the Constitution. Now nail him! Dont make it a complicated matter. Inform the voters that Bernie is a traitor and is not to be trusted as President to defend the Constitution. Why not make this the single issue of the whole election?
E. Eddy says
I am Christian spent most of my youth in the Middle East. Mr. Sanders I wished if you have lived with these people for few years to understand what the SHARIA is all about !! If you ever became a president of the USA , that will be the end of the USA. These people do use our FREEDEOM and DEMOCORCY to destroy our FREEDEM and DEMOCROCY and your are helping them to do so. I hope one day you will understand , it is truly sad day for America . A true Muslim not wanted to kill us the Christian and Jews is not a true Muslim because he/ she does not understand Islam at all period
gravenimage says
Very true, Eddy. Glad you got out–and thanks for your work warning Infidels in the West about the true nature of Islam.
Katnis says
Hi Eddy. Thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience. Your experience is valuable and we sure appreciate your sharing.
Wellington says
There’s no fool like an old fool. Bernie Sanders proves this quite well. Even more disturbing, actually far more disturbing, is that the person who most likely will capture the Democratic nomination for President is not only an old fool (yeah, she’s old, hell she’s even older than me and I’m old) but massively corrupt and an inveterate liar as well.
Oh yeah, one either see “the problem” here or they don’t. Those that don’t are a big part of “the problem.”
Smart Guy says
Religion is a choice. Just because you were born into your parents religion does not mean that you
have to support it. However, biology is not a choice. You cannot change your race. Hatred of evil
religions such as Satanism and Islam is not racism. The accusation that the hatred of evil religions
is racism will eventually backfire on the looney left.
Demsci says
Well, said, and Smart!
Evil religion we can also describe as “religion” with perhaps some worth, but mostly worthless, low compared with it’s alternative higher-regarded religions, lifestyles. And definitely an untrue, obsolete religion. Not capable of delivering eternal heaven, or a hell to be feared.
Islam consists of a corpus of texts and those texts have big influence, including detrimental, dangerous influence, with mountains of evidence, and clinging to it makes a person partly responsible.
Not a good choice for smart, happy, responsible, positive people. Muslims should love their parents deeply, but for that reason not also love and cling to dumb, untrue, problematic, debilitating Islam. They should hide or explain their conversion to better religions or lifestyles very tactically, but convert to a better alternative they should. Or be held accountable for clinging to this backward way of life.
We can try to like the complex Muslims, but deplore their CHOICE of religion. A Jewish Politician like Sanders should have reacted in accordance with this attitude.

Very true, Smart Guy–there is nothing inborn about the embracing of any creed.

Muslims may very well be a race, if you consider an inbred population to form different race.

While Islam encourages inbreeding, not all Muslims are inbred–Western “reverts” are just as barbaric.
MackK says
Have to admit the headline got my curiousity but as soon as I saw, “What race is Islam?” I knew it was just more bigoted fear-mongering. Islam is not a race.
duh_swami says
You kuffar who have spent years reading the literature, listening to what Mahoundians say and watching what they do, have wasted your time All you had to do was ask Bernie. Or Joe Biden, he told Hersi Alu a few things opt two about Islam.. It’s amazing that these left leaning elitist have automatic knowledge. They don’t have to crack any books or study anything, it just comes to them like as in dream…I dreamed of the loving tolerance and peaceful nature of Islam, then I opened my eyes and saw the blood…
Bernie, Joe. and other like them, are Brothers of the Primrose Path…Right where we are going if we follow then..They are like ‘Percival the Pure Fool’, who is looking up as he is about to step off a cliff, and fall into the abyss.
Islam :- the religion of peace & presidential hopefuls says
“only a handful of presidential candidates have gone on the record to denounce Islamophobia”
Of course, the intelligent presidential candidates know it’s political suicide ;;;
America is not only the world centre of freedom and equal rights it’s also full of people that if pushed will fight for those freedoms & rights ..
Once the ideals these actors are trying to impose sinks in, the general population will change in a big hurry ,,,
Can people imagine how much”denouncing of islamaphobia” will go on in a gay muscle boy gym ?
how much”denouncing of islamaphobia” will go on when the islamic religious police try to pressure beach bunnies to wear a burka,,
how much”denouncing of islamaphobia” will go on when they try to stop the music industry .. not to mention the ban on dancing ..
how much”denouncing of islamaphobia” will go on in the Southern States when some idiot try’s to stop “the good ole boys” from brewing whisky ..
This list goes on and on, and if it wasn’t so brutal, gets funny and funnier,,
How about a muslim presidential candidate trying to make a rule against drinking beer and watching “the game”
NOTHING CAN GET IN THE WAY of the American Defense Force ….
CAIR are dreaming, Vote Robert Spenser for president, and Pamela Geller for first lady

Nope, sorry muzzie-trash, once an American CHOOSES to follow Allhaha, Mohammerhead, and their unholy book the Queer’an, they STOP being American!!! American religions are: Judaism and Christianity.

And what might the *nature* of that change be? Who cares? In Democrat rhetoric, “change” is always a good thing.
This be-Hijabbed Muslimah is a student at the George Mason University School of Conflict Resolution.
Conflict resolution is a legitimate concept–but in practice has often been used to shut down differences of opinion and legitimate criticism in favor of fake consensus–*exactly* what a “slow Jihad” Muslim would be drawn to.
She has also worked as a Asylum Clinic Arabic Translator at the Georgetown University Law Center, bringing in more Sudanese Muslims to the US.

Re: “And what might the *nature* of that change be? Who cares? In Democrat rhetoric, “change” is always a good thing.”
Yep, exactly!
“Progressivism” is really only the logical fallacy of any politician’s syllogism (to improve things, things must change; we are changing things; therefore, we are improving things) or argumentum ad novitam.

SIMILARLY, TODAY IN CANADA:

“The Palestinians’ top diplomat in Ottawa has urged Justin Trudeau’s new Liberal government to formally recognize Palestine as a country, and return to Canada’s previously balanced position on the Middle East.”
“BALANCED?”!
BECAUSE 51 TERROR STATES SURROUNDING TINY ISRAEL ISN’T “BALANCED” ENOUGH FOR THEM…. YET!
And you can bet your bottom d’allah that Turdeau – who converted to islam in public in a Wahhabi mosque on TV – will soon enthusiastically Submit to their designs!
mahghan says
So why are so many impressive thinkers and intellectuals guilty of the absurd “sin” of “islamophobia”?
David Hume(1711-1776, great Scottish philosopher and polymath)
The admirers and followers of the AlCoran(Qur’an) insist on the excellent moral precepts interspersed through that WILD and ABSURD performance…….But would we know whether the pretended Prophet had really attained a just sentiment of morals?
Let us attend to his narration, and we shall soon find that he bestows praise on such instances of TREACHERY, INHUMANITY, CRUELTY, REVENGE,BIGOTRY, as are utterly INCOMPATIBLE society.
No steady rule of RIGHT seems there to be attended to, and every action is blamed or praised, so far only as it is beneficial or hurtful to the true believers.
Muhammad Razi(865-925, Persian Scholar)
If people of this religion Islam are asked about the SOUNDNESS of their religion, they flare up get angry and SPILL the BLOOD of whoever confronts them with this question. They forbid RATIONAL speculation and strive to KILL their adversaries. This is why TRUTH became thoroughly SILENCED and CONCEALED.
Mark Twain(1835-1910, acclaimed writer and satirist)
That is a simple rule and easy to remember. When I a thoughtful and unblessed Presbyterian examine the Qur’an I know that beyond question every Mohammedan is INSANE, not in all things but in religious matters.
John Quincy Adams(1767-1848, sixth U.S. President)
He Muhammad declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as a part of his religion, against ALL the rest of mankind. The precept of the Qur’an is perpetual war against all who DENY that Muhammad is the Prophet of God.
George Bernard Shaw(1856-1950, Playwright and Nobel Prize Winner)
Islam is VERY DIFFERENT being ferociously INTOLERANT……..And there is no nonsense about toleration. You accept Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell.
Manuel II Palaiologis(1391-1425, Byzantine Emperor)
Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you find things only EVIL and INHUMAN, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.
Kemal Ataturk(1881-1938, founder of Modern Turkey)
Islam–this theology of an IMMORAL Arab–is a DEAD thing. Possibly it might have suited tribes in the desert. It is no good for a MODERN PROGRESSIVE STATE.
David Samuel Magoliouth(1858-1940, translator of Arab writings, orientalist)
In order to gain his ends Muhammad recoils from no expedient. He profits to the utmost from the chivalry of the Meccans but barely requites it with the like. He organizes ASSASSINATIONS and MASSACRES. His career as tyrant of Medina is that of a robber chief whose political economy consists in securing and dividing plunder.
Maimonides(1135-1204, Jewish philosopher in Muslim Spain)
After arose the MADMAN, Muhammad who emulated his precursor Jesus–since he paved the way for him. But he added the further objective of procuring rule and submission. That is Islam…….There never came against Israel a more antagonistic nation. They oppress us with the most oppressive measures to lessen our numbers, reduce us, and make us as DESPICABLE as they themselves.
E. Eddy says
Just to share with everyone one of the thousands of undesirable incidents where I wish Mr. Sanders one day will experience just few so he might come to his senses.
Here how is one incident :
During my early schools over there, 2 hours per week were dedicated to for religious study (Islamic teaching). I was the only Christian in the class and here is what the teacher would say as soon as he walks into the class to teach the student Islam, basically the SHARIA (Al SHARIA AL-ISLAMIAH) .
Loudly he would say: ALL INFIDELES (Kuffar) MUST LEAVE THE CLASS IMMDIATLY.
Mr. Sanders must understand that true Muslim can not accept democracy nor any civil constitution otherwise this person can not be a Muslim. So this Remaz Abdelgader does not understand the fact that if you want to claim you are a true Muslem you must follow the SHARIA and will have to reject, FREEDOM, DEMOCROCY and the CONSTITUTION for the simple reason that these three precious things for us are in direct contradiction with the Sharia . That is what the Quran says in its Arabic version of which I do know extremely well .
I suspect Remaz Abdelgader does not understand the true Islam !!!! However as soon as does understand it, then will be a different person (has no choice that what Islam demand from this person to be), and trust me you will not like the way this person will think about you and me. As a matter of fact the family name ABDELGADER in Arabic does reflect quite a bit about the ugly side of Islam !!!!
