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

Sears stops selling “Infidel” hats after Muslim complaints

Oct 19, 2015 6:02 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic supremacist Imraan Siddiqi complained to Sears about the hats, and it was apparently his complaint alone that was enough for them to remove the hats from sale. After he succeeded in strong-arming Sears into removing the hats, he screamed “Allahu akbar”:

Imraan Siddiqi

Imraan Siddiqi armedImraan Siddiqi Sears

This incident, along with the TPM article about below, is a good example of how Islamic supremacists such as Siddiqi and the mainstream media stigmatize resistance to jihad, trying to make people think there is something wrong with standing against jihad terror. Krueger’s lead paragraph comes straight from Siddiqi’s Twitter feed, and picks up his attempts to smear and demonize resistance to jihad terror: Krueger slavishly takes from Siddiqi the reference to “fringe websites” (which she artfully renders as “sketchy anti-Islamic sites”), along with the nasty and unfounded insinuation that this hat would only find favor among those who attend “armed mosque protests.” Siddiqi and Krueger want you to know that no decent person would be caught wearing this hat, which the Hamas-linked terror organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), also following Siddiqi, flagged as “Islamophobic” in its daily mailing.

But what, exactly, is so wrong with a hat that says kafir, “infidel” in Arabic? In his 2002 letter to America, Osama bin Laden declared, “The first thing we are calling you to is Islam.” In that sentence and in his entire letter he delineated the global conflict as between those of Islamic faith and those without it, i.e., infidels. It was, therefore, entirely reasonable and understandable for those who defy Osama and others like him, and who will never submit to Islam, to adopt the name “infidel,” much as other groups have proudly adopted terms of derision used of them by their opponents (“queer,” etc.).

But in her sloppily edited piece, Krueger informs us that the Islamic Society of North America, to which she gives the acronym “ISBA” (Borth America?), and which she doesn’t bother telling us has admitted links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, says that “infidel is not a correct translation for Karif.” Karif? That’s kafir, infidel. How Islamophobic of Krueger to get the word wrong. But in any case, the “ISBA” says: “Islam does not consider people of other faiths as ‘infidels,’ and does not advocate violence against them.”

And that’s that, right? Except for one little problem known as the Qur’an. “Unbelievers are those who say: Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary” (Qur’an 5:17; cf. 5:72). The Arabic word used for unbelievers, or infidels, in this verse is kafara, كَفَرَ. Derived from kufr, unbelief. The Qur’an also contains an invective against the People of the Book in general and the Jews in particular. The Jews “traffic in error” and, and wish that the Muslims would “lose the right path” (4:44). They twist Allah’s words, and Allah has “cursed them for their unbelief” — كُفْرِهِمْ, kufrihim (4:46) — a word that is also derived from kufr.

There, then, are two Qur’anic passages clearly calling Christians and Jews unbelievers, or infidels — which the Islamic Society of North America and many others insist the Qur’an never does.

And does Islam really not mandate violence against those infidels? The Qur’an says: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (9:29) Also: “And fight them until there is no fitnah and the religion, all of it, is for Allah.” (8:39) Thus Muslims are commanded to fight against the People of the Book if they don’t believe in Allah or the Last Day and don’t forbid what Allah and Muhammad has forbidden. And Muslims are to keep up this fight until religion, all of it, is for Allah. Does that sound like advocating violence against people of other faiths to you? It certainly does to me.

So why did Sears cave so readily? Because Sears doesn’t know or care about any of this. Sears just wants to make money. It doesn’t want to have a big controversy, and denunciations of racism, and boycotts, and all the rest of it that Siddiqi and his sinister ilk can make happen. It knows that Islamic supremacists carry weight with the media (cf. this TPM piece) that the defenders of freedom cannot muster. And so, predictably, it threw in its lot with its bottom line.

“Sears Says It Will Stop Selling Arabic ‘INFIDEL’ Hats,” by Katherine Krueger, Talking Points Memo, October 19, 2015:

No need to patronize sketchy anti-Islamic sites to get “infidel” hats to wear to your next armed mosque protest – Sears has you covered.

As activist Imraan Siddiqi flagged on Twitter Monday, the big box retailer sells “INFIDEL Baseball Cap Patriotic Hat Arabic” on Sears.com via a third-party retailer.

The hats, which the site shows were added Oct. 12, are listed for $19.98 to $34.99, depending on the color. They are sold by Dreamway Trading, LLC through the legacy retailers’ site.

Reached Monday by TPM, a spokesman for Sears Holdings, the corporation that owns Sears and Kmart, said that after unspecified “feedback,” the company is pulling the merchandise.

“This item is sold by a third-party seller via the Sears Marketplace. Given the feedback we’ve received it is being removed,” the spokesman said in an email to TPM.

The hats appear to have been removed from the Sears site as of late Monday afternoon. Sears Holdings did not respond to further questions about the vetting process for third party retailers. Sears.com offers users a free account to upload their wares, with the company charging retailers a $39.99 monthly fee, plus a commission on sales, to sell through the site.

Conservative groups repurposed the term “infidel” for an individual who rejects religion as an anti-Islam rallying cry post-9/11. Touting “infidel” has remained popular with the advent of anti-Sharia law hysteria, and among the far-right fringe groups loosely united by a penchant for habitually equating Islam, a faith that counts nearly 1.6 billion followers around the world, with violent extremism.

The term has also been embraced in some military circles as an antagonistic middle finger to the enemy in the wars in the Mideast, espoused by brands like Major League Infidel.

According to a guide on terrorism and religious extremism from the Islamic Society of North America, infidel is not a correct translation for Karif [sic], the Arabic word used on the hats.

“Islam does not consider people of other faiths as ‘infidels,’ and does not advocate violence against them,” according to the ISBA [sic]….

    Why when Muslims themselves call others infidels.

    Question to ask Imraan Siddiqi is what is wrong with the Koran which says the same thing ,that non Muslim are infidels.

    Maybe change it to kafir?

      Sears launched the Kardashian clothing line and hired Nikki Minaj to do special programs and promotions for Sears. Hundreds of people complained about both the Kardashians and Nikki Minaj as being immoral and anti-family. Sears did not displace Nikki and did not pull back the Kardashian line until sales proved they needed to do so.

      So what happened to force Sears’ hand into pulling the infidel hat, from one of the tiniest slices of their business – the Marketplace? Who was it? What happened?

      Think about it: Sears kept the Kardashians and Nikki Minaj, but got rid of the infidel hat? Why???

    No need to patronize sketchy anti-Islamic sites to get “infidel” hats to wear to your next armed mosque protest – Sears has you covered.

    I usually wear my “Infidel” hat to dissuade muslim dawah artists from trying to engage me in conversation. But hey, to each their own.

    As activist Imraan Siddiqi flagged on Twitter Monday, the big box retailer sells “INFIDEL Baseball Cap Patriotic Hat Arabic” on Sears.com via a third-party retailer.

    “Activist”? For what?

    Reached Monday by TPM, a spokesman for Sears Holdings, the corporation that owns Sears and Kmart, said that after unspecified “feedback,” the company is pulling the merchandise.

    Ah, well, back to patronizing “sketchy anti-Islamic sites” – remember, you “activists” brought it on yourselves.

    “Conservative groups repurposed the term “infidel” for an individual who rejects religion as an anti-Islam rallying cry post-9/11.”

    Yeah, no – I’m certain that Christians call atheists “pagans”, not “infidels”.

    “Touting “infidel” has remained popular with the advent of anti-Sharia law hysteria,”

    Of course – if you’re anti-sharia you must be “hysteric”. Because that’s the only possible explanation, right?

    “and among the far-right fringe groups loosely united by a penchant for habitually equating Islam, a faith that counts nearly 1.6 billion followers around the world, with violent extremism.”

    This one is a clusterf*** of bulls***. Let’s see:

    – It’s not just the so-called “far-right fringe groups” that equate islam with violence. The #1 offenders on that particular regard are muslims themselves because those who are not committing or supporting violence in the name of islam do little or nothing to stop those who do.
    – “Far-right fringe groups” are not “loosely united” by equating islam with violence – small government and the right to keep and bear arms, anyone?
    – The number of adherents to any ideology is irrelevant to whether that ideology teaches violence or not.
    – Let’s not call it by the sanitized expression “violent extremism” – it’s “islamic terrorism”, or “islamicaly inspired violence”, or “standard islam”.

    “The term has also been embraced in some military circles as an antagonistic middle finger to the enemy in the wars in the Mideast, espoused by brands like Major League Infidel.”

    Because they get it right – islam teaches that non-muslims are infidels and that muslims are to wage war on them.

    “According to a guide on terrorism and religious extremism from the Islamic Society of North America, infidel is not a correct translation for Karif [sic], the Arabic word used on the hats.”

    Which is about as reliable as a tax guide from Al Capone, I’d wager – look at the source and what it stands to win.

    ““Islam does not consider people of other faiths as ‘infidels,’ and does not advocate violence against them,” according to the ISBA [sic]….”

    And, of course, Katherine Krueger did not verify this info – if the Indonesian Shipbrokers Beekeepers Association says so then it is so.

      Angemon you said “Yeah, no – I’m certain that Christians call atheists “pagans”, not “infidels”.

      I really can’t talk for other Christians out there but I just call Atheists **non-believers**. I don’t feel that the term pagan fits. Now if they worshiped tree spirits, wood fairies or a rock and the moon then they are pagans.

      Worshiping a rock and the moon…….where have I heard that before??? Mooozlims???

        Oct 19, 2015 at 8:26 pm

        I’ve never called anyone a pagan…spoke to a young man once though that said to me, “I’m a pagan. I worship trees and things.”
        We had a nice conversation and he was very polite to me.

        Now atheists, I call atheists, and agnostics, agnostics. Whatever a person tells me they are.
        I have learned the term for the adherents of the beast of islam…the only group that has ever threatened me or used violence against me for not agreeing with them…moslim.

        They are free to call me whatever they wish…it doesn’t make it true and they are known for the deception of lying about everything…so I couldn’t care any less than I do.

        I just have one question: Why would infidels wish to wear something with arabic writing?

          somehistory, Maybe to make sure that they know who you are in case they can’t read English.

          I heard the Syrian refugees are in a bit of a bind for clothing. Maybe Sears will donate their caps since they will not be selling them anymore.

          Thanks, Joseph. Guess that makes sense.
          I find it funny that even words they call the rest of us offends them if infidels use those words to identify as not bending the knee or back, not putting the head to the dirt in worship of satan.

          They just have no self-control, no discipline, no manners…just bad, evil, obscene behavior. And they just can’t handle the truth.
          In years past, I would never have imagined the beast to be islam, but it certainly fits.

        • Joseph says

          Oct 19, 2015 at 11:51 pm

          somehistory, I am not saying that Islam isn’t evil and rotten to the core, controlled by Satan(he don’t deserve a capitol s) but what if Satan is like a magician saying look over here while the real trouble/threat will come from somewhere else? One thing you can count on is that Islam is somehow involved and Satan wants as many souls in hell with him as possible.
          Just to make it clear because of the double negatives..
          Islam is an evil introduced to this world by Satan himself thru his puppet Mohammad (MHTBCU) may his testicles be crushed underfoot.

          Re: “Why would infidels wish to wear something with arabic writing?”
          ____________________________________________________

          It says something very specific.
          It says:
          1) Hey ARABIC speaking person! I am in infidel in terms of Arabic culture in particular!
          It is a political ,social, and religious statement which is very objective but also carries the meaning:
          2) I know you and I are in different opposing camps.

          Even a person who speaks no Arabic – such as I – would infer that the language is Arabic and that the word infidel therefore means someone who rejects carpet pilot religion in political and personal terms.
          A non-Arabic speaking Muslim would certainly get it easily.

      “activist” is the politically correct term for “terrorist”.

  3. RT says

    Oct 19, 2015 at 6:43 pm

    from wiki:
    “The origins of the word infidel date to the late 15th century, deriving from the French infidèle or Latin īnfidēlis, from in- “not” + fidēlis “faithful” (from fidēs “faith”, related to fīdere ‘to trust’). The word originally denoted a person of a religion other than one’s own, specifically a Christian to a Muslim, a Muslim to a Christian, or a Goy to a Jew.[2] Later meanings in the 15th century include “unbelieving”, “a non-Christian” and “one who does not believe in religion” (1527).”

    Of Latin/French origin……not Arabic. That the hat said “Infidel” was not the issue…it was the Arabic script of “kafir” below it that sparked the protest.

    You can put that in your hooka and smoke it so to speak in regards to ‘the prophethood’ of Mahomet. Christians and Jews are kuffar under Islam. Infidel has a much broader meaning….kuffar/ kafir is VERY SPECIFIC who you are talking about.

    And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? —2 Corinthians 6:15 KJV

  7. Katnis says

    Oct 19, 2015 at 6:54 pm

    Sears is like a giant sinking ship, run by brilliant head fund manager, Eddie Lampert, who is Jewish. Eddie probably doesn’t know that this decision has been made. He runs the business from his luxury home on Star Island in Florida.

    Marketplace policies say that Sears won’t fulfill the following items:

    Liquids (alcohol, motor oil, shampoo)
    Aerosols
    HazMat; (Automotive Batteries, etc)
    Weapons/Firearms/Ammunition
    Tobacco Products
    Pesticides
    Foodstuff’s/Consumables/Perishable goods
    Live plants or animals
    Used items (clothing, etc)
    Drugs

    So where does the infidel hat fit into this scenario? It doesn’t.

    My guess is that there were MANY, MANY complaints about the hat. I’d guess at least a few hundred directed at the VP level.
    OR a high-pressure group like CAIR filed a complaint with the Sears legal department and the legal team recommended compliance.
    OR internal employees – many of which are on temporary visas from countries like India – started complaining. Again, there would have to be many internal complaints.

    Sears is so big that this sort of thing normally wouldn’t get any attention. So what really happened?

  8. Katnis says

    Oct 19, 2015 at 6:57 pm

    If you do comparative shopping, you will find that Sears prices aren’t competitive. You can get far cheaper appliances at other stores. Watch for sales at places like Home Deport, Lowes, or even Best Buy.

    The dhimmi laws of Islam traditionally force Jews and Christians to wear distinctive caps as well as wear a distinguishing colored patch on their clothing and also a wide belt that identifies them as KAFIRS.

    We in the West are presently at the INSERTION STAGE of Islam where Muslims deny their future intentions so that jihad may advance undetected by the duped dhimmis.

    Incidentally, most Islamic translations of the word KAFIR into English use the word ‘DISBELIEVER’.

    A ‘disbeliever’ is considered an animal and intentional rebel from Islam since all people are considered Muslim from birth. Since they are rebels, all KAFIRS deserve to be executed.

    “In the twilight of the Cold War, the United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings, part of covert attempts to spur resistance to the Soviet occupation.

    The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system’s core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books, though the radical movement scratched out human faces in keeping with its strict fundamentalist code.”

        Your CIA supported the racist, ultra nationalist fascist Islamist Turkish Grey Wolves in massacring leftist Marxist Kurds and leftist Marxist Alevis in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Your country supported the openly racist, fascist Turkish millitary coup governments which banned the Kurdish ethnicitiy and language and slaughtered and razed Kurdish villages to the ground.

        In Cravenmirage’s fantasy world, the America nevers does anything bad.

      To chrisk;

      Your comment implies that the Americans are responsible for jihad in Afghanistan.

      This is quite witless.

      If the idea of jihad did not already exist in Islamic texts and teachings, why would the Americans have used it ?

      The Afghans had been murdering each other in accordance with islamic texts, and honour murdering, and raping little boys and girls, and disfiguring ‘adulterous’ women, *long* before either the Russians or the Americans appeared on the scene. You should read some history.

      jihad is not something that appeared spontaneously because of books issued to Afghan schoolchildren. To reiterate; it is endemic to islam. mohammed started on his career of jihad 1400 years before the USA existed. Jihad is being carried on throughout the world today; in China, Thailand, Myanmar, the Phillipines, etc etc, all without the assistance of American provided textbooks.

      I think you should read the koran, and find out about mohammed, as well, before making rather silly moral equivalency comments.

    In a kind of a way the journo is correct to say that infidel is not a correct translation of Karif, oops Kafir for it is too clinical. It is like saying that the correct translation of ‘n***r’ is not ‘black’, which is true because that is too clinical as well. ‘Infidel’ misses the highly derogatory emotional content inherent in Kafir.

    The ISNA seems more concerned about telling non muslims “Islam does not consider people of other faiths as infidels, and does not advocate violence against them.” than telling those who are supposedly “getting it wrong” i.e. ISIS. Go figure. And, Imraan Siddiqi is more concerned about what Sears is doing than ISIS. Gee, go figure. Siddiqi states “armed mosque protestors” (1) failing to acknowledge that we’re in the U.S. where you’re generally speaking allowed to be armed and (2) he would be armed to the teeth as soon as islam becomes anywhere near a majority. Krueger says “anti-Sharia law hysteria” how ’bout anti-sharia realism, how ’bout islamorealism. Wait ’till Siddiqi finds out that Sears sells HAM.

    Aren’t they trying say the exact same thing about us in the first place when the dress up in their special Muslim clothes.
    Shouldn’t we be offended by Muslim men wearing their kufi hats and pretty Islamic man-dresses ?

    You can tell that Katherine Krueger is not a Yazidi.
    From her comfortable air-conditioned office she sprinkles her careless prose with fashionable disparaging derogatory epithets.

    Are they mainstream sites she cites?
    No. Only “sketchy anti-Islamic sites”.
    Mainstream groups?
    No, just “far-right fringe groups”.
    Co-ordinated? No, only “loosely united”, so they must be a rabble.
    United by what? Why, by nothing more derisory than “a penchant for habitually equating Islam with violent extremism” and for displaying “anti-Sharia law hysteria”.
    How desperately unfashionable!
    They must all be hate-filled Islamophobic anti-Muslim bigots, as we all suspected.

    Is a woman who is averse to being sold as a Sharia sex-slave displaying “hysteria”?
    What of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his “group”? He has a PhD. In Islamic Studies so knows much more than Katherine Krueger:
    “Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting”, he said in May 2015.
    It sounds as if he is “equating Islam with violent extremism”.
    Can’t have that, now, can we?

      A quick Google search will net endless sources Infidel caps, patches, T-Shirts and more. I will get one of the cool khaki caps. Would never of thought of it without the Sears story. And, there are some good prices.

        I purchased my Infidel ball cap/shoulder patch and Infidel shoulder tab in 2009 from a Muslim vendor in Kabul. How’s that for irony? He was probably thinking, “Sucker!” (or the equivalent Pashtu word). I was thinking, “Capitalist! Good.”

    Sears I’m disappointed in you. What in the hell is wrong with people that they follow after evil so quick and ready. AMERICA we need to wake up and see the evil. Quit listening to what they are saying and see what they are doing. We don’t need the people of islam telling our stores what to sell. If they don’t want to buy them, then don’t!!!!!!! But don’t try and tell us what we can and can’t buy. Don’t try and take our options from us!!!!!!!

      Oct 22, 2015 at 7:22 am

      Excellent comment and i agree. USA and Canada are free countries which i hope will always be so. However i say to Muslims,if these 2 ountries have any habits or customs that offend you THEN GO BACK TO THE HELL HOLE YOU CAME FROM. Our countries have many freedoms and one is you are free to leave. If you love the type of rule that is practised in Saudi Arabia then go there. Just dont start throwing your weight around here trying to force Sharia law on us,telling us it offends you if we eat pork etc.
      JUST LEAVE AND FIND PEACE ELSEWHERE.

    Oct 20, 2015 at 3:11 pm

    Simple answer.. STOP BUYING FROM CORPORATIONS! Yes it is hard to do but not impossible. You are in the final fight for the survival of free speech and liberty. This world falls into a complete darkness of slavery to elitist tyrants if you lose. If free speech and liberty is really as important as you say it is you won’t mind taking time before you buy to look for mom and pop shops and locally owned businesses that support your point of view. At the very least stop being a corporate consumer chasing hot new trinkets and buy resale. Corporations are all sold out to globalists, every single one of them a slave to political correct tyranny! Make their bank accounts bleed red so they can die. Then and only then will you get the change you want.

    “They twist Allah’s words and Allah has cursed them for their unbelief”
    Allah has spoken? See a shrink.
    Curse- an appeal to a supernatural power. Say no more.
    Infidel- a person who has no religion or whose religion is not that of the majority.
    Technically speaking then, Muslims in Engeland are infidels as the largest and official religion is Christianity.
    But “infidel” has been “repurposed”
    Still, i shall be shouting “infidels!”, from now on, to Muslims in the local shopping centre, while the ratio of infidels permit.
    Possibly, although defined atheist, i may wear a big hat with CHRISTIAN emblazoned on it.
    I should, therefore, just like muslims are, be allowed to shout-
    “DEATH TO INFIDELS!”
    I’ll see how things are at the time.

    I recommend to everyone to make your own fliers or copy something from the internet or wherever – be creative as possible – and drop your fliers/works of art off everywhere you go in support of your first amendment rights. Put them on cars, leave some on the bus, at the store, and at the park, in front of churches and mosques. You don’t have to depend on liberal media or some appeasing business to get the message out. One way or another islamists must continue to be criticized for their low life violent cult ways. If a company or place says to you you can’t wear a t-shirt or hand out a flier or something like that which is probably the next thing to happen then document the details and sue them. Notice will always be taken if it means lost time and legal fees. If companies won’t sell products then we can make our own- like t-shirts, posters and so on since this stuff is all available to buy. There are many independents you can buy “banned items” from as well. I have to laugh but every time i wear a rosary in public or a jesus t-shirt and an islamist sees it they leave quickly. If this is so offensive to them then i am happy to oblige and will continue to offend these sensitive violent sociopaths in any way possible that is legal in order to practice my first amendment rights given to me by the constitution that are not to be take away by sears or anyone else!

    It’s called taqqiya (sp?). Of course they lie to all of the LIV crowd. It’s what all those who desire to enslave you do – the left and islam.
    Personally, I prefer “An ansalem” to “kafir”. I am NOT an infidel (by my standards), but I certainly WILL NOT submit!

  43. SkippingDog says
