“‘We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups,’ said Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour, who has worked extensively with the Black Lives Matter movement and other minority groups. ‘The fact that this is only directed at the Muslim community is something that I personally can’t accept.'”
Well, there are about 27,401 reasons why that is the case. That is the number of lethal jihad terror attacks that have been committed in accord with Islamic texts and teachings since 9/11. In that span, how many lethal attacks have been committed by people who pointed to the Bible or any other religious texts to justify their violence? None, unless one wishes to count in the recent murders in Colorado Springs, since Robert Dear apparently identifies himself as Christian (as well as female). So it simply isn’t true that “we would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups”: all Christian sects and Churches have condemned the killing of abortionists and other such violence, and no Christian group teaches that it is acceptable. On the Muslim side, however, we have all the mainstream sects and schools of jurisprudence teaching the necessity to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers. We have “Palestinian” Muslim clerics waving around knives and suicide belts and exhorting their people to murder Israelis. We have jihad groups all over the world committing violence and justifying it by pointing to the Qur’an and example of Muhammad.
The fact is, there is obviously a unique problem within Islam. The Muslims in this story who are complaining about Muslims being “singled out” are hoping that you will forget that violence committed in the name of Islam is many times more common than violence committed in the name of any other religion. They’re hoping you will forget that Islamic jihad terrorists singled out non-Muslims for murder in Kenya, Paris and elsewhere. They’re hoping that you won’t notice that there is no program in any mosque or Islamic school to teach Muslims why the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam is wrong. They are once again claiming victimhood status for Muslims, attempting thereby to deflect attention away from all these unpleasant facts and more. There’s no problem with jihad terror, you see. There’s just a problem with mean old non-Muslims demanding that Muslims do something about jihad terror.
“Some American Muslims Irritated By Obama’s Call For Them To ‘Root Out’ Extremism,” by Tom Gjelten, NPR, December 9, 2015:
President Obama’s request that American Muslims help “root out” and confront extremist ideology in their communities is getting mixed reactions. Muslim leaders say they want to help, but some are not happy that they are being singled out.
“We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups,” said Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour, who has worked extensively with the Black Lives Matter movement and other minority groups. “The fact that this is only directed at the Muslim community is something that I personally can’t accept.”
In his Sunday-night message, the president did say Muslims should not be treated differently, but administration officials say they are looking to the American Muslim community for some particular assistance. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson took that request personally Monday to the All Dulles Area Muslim Society mosque in Sterling, Va.
“I will continue to speak out against the discrimination, vilification and isolation that American Muslims face in these challenging times,” Johnson said.
But then came the appeal.
“Now, I have an ask,” he said. “It is an ask of the people in this room and all Muslims across the country. Terrorist organizations overseas have targeted your communities. They seek to pull your youth into the pit of violent extremism. Help us to help you stop this.”
Muslim leaders have heard this before, and some find it a little irritating.
“We’re not law enforcement officials,” said Shahed Amanullah, a Washington, D.C.-based American Muslim entrepreneur with Silicon Valley connections. He has worked with the U.S. government on combating online extremism, but he said it’s unrealistic to expect Muslim Americans to confront violent people in their midst.
“We’re community members and Americans like everybody else,” he said, “and we should have the same relationship with law enforcement that everybody else has. To expect us to be on the front lines without having the capacity or the support would not be [productive]. It wouldn’t be productive with any community.”…
This is arrant nonsense. No one is asking Muslims to act as police officers. They’re asking them to call police officers when they see suspicious activity. But of course those who favor such activity aren’t going to pick up the phone.
Ya think?

jp says
All we’re asking, is next time they hear someone at mosque ranting about wanting to kill civilians in the name of Allah, they call the cops rather than going “oh that’s just hashmeesh being hashmeesh, he’s harmless” and then getting all up at arms about some imagined backlash when hashmeesh goes and murdered people in the name of Allah.
JD says
Yeah, but even if they don’t take action themselves, they’re too busy agreeing with hashmeesh to report to the cops. “Oh yes, hashmeesh! Of course we should kill the infidels! They have earned it, by being infidels! Allahu snackbar!”
particolor says
They are Petrified that He will turn traitor on them ! 🙁
We're doomed says
Muslims who dont “play along with”Jihad are treated more savagely then infidels, so you cant blame then for their silence. So you say, leave the religion; well that comes with the same reward. Islam is an evil, savage, barbaric bear trap…just like you’d expect from Satan.
Logoman says
doomed. All you say is absolutely true. So who do we get this evil, barbaric cult reformed? That is the only solutution I can see – an inside job. Some prominent Muslim with a huge set of stones has got to make the first move.
Mr Finland says
Allahu snackbar! – Hahahahaha…!!!
Liisa Root says
Man, thank you. You made me laugh for the first time ever when discussing anything thing Islam! Three times now… And I will think of your statement in the future when I need a lift again. See, still laughing all the way to the snackbar
old white guy says
other faith groups do not have a call to kill non-believers as a tenet of their religion.
Shane says
The problem is that so many Muslims agree with the violent Muslims and wish them well on their jihad. They remain silent because they believe that jihad against the infidels is the duty of all Muslims.
Hope says
Oh, I am so sorry for the Muslim community and the suffering they are forced to endure in America! These people are unbelievable! Everything is about them and what they want. Their holy book teaches them that they are superior to the rest of us, no wonder they are above helping law enforcement. If there were some place in this world we could go to get away from them I would go there. Unfortunately, only Antarctica remains.
Mirren10 says
”f there were some place in this world we could go to get away from them I would go there. Unfortunately, only Antarctica remains.”
If only that were true, Hope.
Unfortunately, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan maintains a research station in Antarctica and it has maintained a presence there since 1991.
I don’t know what they do about ramadanadingdong, though. Maybe they all go back to pakicrapistan for it.
Jack Diamond says
Even the penguins aren’t safe from the ummah. Pakistan is there because India is there, and China is there, and Iran and Turkey want to be there. Prospects for satellite warfare and ultimately oil reserves…not so much,um, environmentalism.
bernie says
The penguins look like nuns, so the Islamofascist extremists probably wouldn’t like them, either.
Donovan Nuera says
And the US Government airdropped the Blob onto an Antarctic snowy plain in a sealed crate back in 1956 as it was neutralized by being chilled. The jihadis will probably find it and use it as a bioterrorism weapon.
wink wink
PRCS says
That was, perhaps, the first movie I remember seeing, Donovan.
petey says
dosent matter whose there, look at maps of who owns it, all european and south american. The shitholistans can have stations there all they want, but they dont own it!
Mr. AR-10 says
Color me unimpressed.
Oh I expect a lot more. I expect them to stand up loudly and call on all musloids to reject violence, and to do so on television, and to do in in English and in Arabic.
I expect them to call for all other musloids in the community to gather and to donate money to create funds for the victims, and to have parades of peace and musloid understanding of Judaism day and things like this, and to call on all their families and friends to participate.
And for them to apologize for the actions of their brothers, for if they truly feel they are peaceful people, they must feel deeply ashamed.
As we know very well christian people would do exactly these things.
And yet, the Mohammedans don’t do these things, they complain to us for all the trouble we are asking them of, to be peaceful.
Isn’t that *interesting*.
Susan says
If we ever saw and heard of other Christians doing what they do, we would, as fellow Christians, call them out and turn them in, without a second thought. Why are they complaining? Unless of course it is because, they all follow the same Quran and hold the same beliefs. I don’t believe one of them shed a single tear when a non-muslim in America dies or is maimed. This only proves to me that, they are at the very least agitators but, more likely murderers by proxy!
Steve Cakouros says
I agree
Mr. AR-10 says
Oh I agree.
“We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups,”
When I read this I have to go back over it to see if I am really reading this right.
Is she really saying that we should just allow members of a faith community to commit acts of violence with no recourse whatsoever?
Because that’s disgusting, it’s evil.
How do these people get to be this way?
I just don’t even understand it.
But I can recognize it.
Oliver says
Well, she is invovled in BLACK LIVES MATTER–although i guess onlu if they are black criminals, and killed by police-not when blacks kill other blacks.
And I recall reading-recenlty, but not sure just where- a (I think it was from Fox) going into a black ghetto, and talking to the people there about black on black crime. And the consensus was, something like, police sometimes kill us, so why should we trust the police if we have a problem.
In the same vein, a few years ago ( during the real estate boom, here in FL., where I live), with prices going up, some white people were buying homes in black areas-as they were comparitively inexpensive. A leftists ‘ alternative” newspaper interviewed peopel (long time residents)- and the feeling was, with the whites moving in, crime went down; better fire and police protection.. But would prefer the wites moved out.
But, that was NOT considered racist by the paper.
Robeaver says
Exactly. Well said.
petey says
This is exactly what the (new at the time) Sikh community in Canada did in the early 80s. We had a brief bout of Sikh terrorism in Canada at the time, and these are the things the Sikhs did to combat it, now hardly anybody in Canada remembers these days and Sikhs are now main stream and well adjusted to Canadian society, in other words no problems and no violence. The difference being Sikhs are a civilized religion and therefore civilized people, Musloids on the other hand, no problem with violence and savages, just like their cave man prophet and of course the Penis Envy filled god of shitholistan allah!

LINDA SARSOUR WILL BE TOLD ABOUT THIS POST, BY CAIR OR ANOTHER MUSLIM STOOGE — THEY READ EVERYTHING ROBERT WRITES.
So let me take this opportunity: Hello Linda. You are trying the same “poor Muslim victim” game that sociopathic Muhammad used. That is the best you can do — but it does not work now. And it just further proves that, when IQs were passed out on the day you were born, the high ones got taken first.
HERE IS A PATH TO THE BRILLIANT COUNTER-JIHADIST DAVID WOOD GIVING HISTORICAL CONTEXT: “Three Stages of Jihad” on Youtube. Long — 24 minutes — and abundantly cited with Qur’an verses and Sunnah passages.
Champ says
“We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups,’ said Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour” …
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In other words, Linda Sarsour is knowingly and willfully aiding and abetting criminal activity. As are the vast majority of other muslims.
somehistory says
sarsour is free to leave. No one is making her stay and “accept” it.
That other moslim woman who is sometimes on with Mr. Glazov, was also complaining. They should be complaining to their barracks leaders about all of the threats…after all, they all claim more moslims are killed by terrorists than are others.
And just when did *ask* become a noun? According to my Websters, it’s still only a verb.
somehistory says
In point of fact, that other moslim, the wone with the group that tries to influence Republicans, said about Trump’s statement concerning molsims coming into the the country that, ‘In some other places what he said could be prosecuted.’ Obviously, she is in favor of speech denial, much like she would be under in SA.
Ren says
“We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups,” said Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour
That is because violence is not inherent in any of other religions. Linda Sarsour, don’t play dumb and stupid !
Oliver says
Perhaps, JUST PERHAPS–SHE IS NOT PLAYING STUPID. PERHAPS SHE REALLY IS
Wellington says
“We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups.”
Huh, the reason why here, deceiver Sarsour, is that members of every other faith community are committing close to zero terrorist actions in the name of their creed.
Here’s a question for you, Sarsour, what percentage of religiously motivated attacks worldwide are performed by those who belong to any religion but Islam? Yes, deceiver (crybaby too), what percentage? And any other apologist for Islam, also please feel free to answer this query.
Waiting.
Champ says
Hi, Wellington,
I just read your comment on that other thread, and I want to thank you for writing me, and for your well wishes, too. Yes, we’re all doing well, and of course I’m super busy with Christmas preparations and the fun and joy that always brings me …
And not even the daily barbarity of islam and company can eclipse my joy and happiness!! Although they may try–much like the Grinch who *tried* to steel Christmas, by attempting to rob people of a joy filled Christmas–mohammedans will never succeed in steeling my deeply felt joy and happiness. Not now; or ever.
Hope you are enjoying the Christmas season, too! Many blessings to you and yours, my friend. 🙂
Wellington says
Back to you in all regards, Champ. You know, your reference to the Grinch made me think that Islam could be properly characterized as the Grinch of all religions.
Yes, I would argue that during Christmas season (or any other season for that matter) when a sensible and knowledgeable person reflects upon Islam, they should just think “Grinch.” Yes, Islam is the religious Grinch par excellence.. Who could doubt it? (I so enjoy mocking Islam since mocking evil is the next best thing to crushing it.)
I believe I will henceforth do this. At least I’ll give it a shot. Perhaps, assuming truth about Islam ultimately prevails (unfortunately not a given), we might even cease referring to Islam as Islam and start referring to it as “Grinchism.” And if this isn’t a beautiful sentiment, I don’t know what is.
Take care, my friend. And, again, a memorable Christmas season to you and all your family.
As a final comment, how I wish every Muslim in the world would wake up tomorrow a devout Christian. There is nothing I can think of which would more extraordinarily improve the world overnight than this. No, not one last thing.
gravenimage says
A Muslim Grinch would have been far too terrifying–he would have beheaded little Cindy Lou Who while she was sleeping.
Leave it to Islam to make the Grinch–even pre-reformation–look like a pretty good guy in comparison.
The fact is that Muslims have often targeted Christmas celebrations–Christmas markets in Europe; a plot to blow up a tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon; murdering Christmas celebrants at a peacekeeping compound in Somalia; Boko Haram bombing churches celebrating mass in several Nigerian cities on Christmas in 2011, leaving 41 people dead; bombing Christmas shoppers in Stockholm, Sweden in 2010; and most recently, the mass murder of 14 people at a city departmental Christmas party in San Bernardino.
Champ and Wellington, despite these horrors I hope you and your families are having a wonderful Christmas season.
Kepha says
Oh, oh, oh! Graven and Welly–your exchange is making me feel soooooooooooo nostalgic! I learned to read as a pre-schooler thanks to Dr. Seuss; and now I’m reading his works to my granddaughter (who, at 4, is also starting to show signs of decoding ability when looking at books).
Yes, Islam is a cosmic Grinch.
Sam says
These people who defend Islam are really disgusting. Muslims can be groups in two sections: the ones who are ignorant and the others EVIL.
Matthieu Baudin says
“…President Obama’s request that American Muslims help ‘root out’ and confront extremist ideology in their communities is getting mixed reactions … but some are not happy that they are being singled out…”
A lot more people are irritated by the Presidents lame approach to the whole Jihadi crisis that corrodes our society and cheapens our lives.
mike ryan says
I agree. We are long passed due to hear condemnations from the Amish, Quakers, Methodists, Hutterites, Mennonites, and Episcopalians concerning all the bloodshed and terror the followers of those faiths are fomenting internationally for fourteen centuries.
Oliver says
Mike- I don’t think that the Quakers and Amish have been around for 500 years, let alone 1,400.
However, I agree with yoru sarcasm.
Vae Victis says
If any non-Muslim seriously thinks that Muslims are ready to reform Islam, they are totally deluding themselves.
The Extremist radicals are psychopathic killers whose thoughts are only of their God given right to carnal pleasures in this life and the next, while the remainder (so called moderate) are brain dead sheep completely traumatised by centuries of rape, murder, pillage, intimidation and ignorance. Even those that one would think have accepted modern thinking, who are your friends, are likely to turn on you like a rabid dog. Such is Islam.
Submission is in their DNA.
They have no capability of free thought.
They are like zombies mindlessly reciting passages from a book whose meaning and language they cannot comprehend. It will take generations of counselling and therapy to undo the damage that Islam has done.
The only option is to contain the cancer that is Islam as best we can and treat it with enlightenment through education.
mortimer says
Yes, poor dears. We wouldn’t want to suggest that they can REMOVE VIOLENT, EXTERMINATING JIHAD from Islam. It’s a normative part of Islam.
rodguy911 says
The basic problem is that many still view Islam as a religion instead of a cult with religious overtones.
The highest achievement in Islam is to die an honorable death.If that means wearing a suicide vest and taking out as many infidels as possible that quite all right with many in this cult of death.
Show me another religion that justifies this type of cold blooded murder.
Angemon says
That’s because a) other faith groups have a residual to zero percentage of their adherents committing violence and justifying it with their faith and quoting scriptures to back their claim, and b) when a non-muslim commits violence and justifies it with their faith, the mainstream of their coreligionists doesn’t need to be asked to stand up and condemn them because they do out out of their own volition.
Also, if a white Christian male were to commit an act of violence and justify it with his religion, I bet the media and muslim lobbying groups would present him as the textbook definition of who Christians are and what they do – the Christian community wouldn’t be asked to stand and condemn him because that would go against the narrative. Meanwhile, when muslims do kill, the media and muslim lobbying groups huff and puff as if pointing out that the killers claimed to have acted in accordance to their texts is saying that all muslims are killers.
Wellington says
Well said and true, Angemon.
mgoldberg says
Indeed she is flat out wrong. If…. as a jew, I was told that that were 50 people in the US who were plotting to murder christians, or anyone in their homes, in shopping malls, in their places of worship, I would support having all the synogogues in this land examine how we got 50 deranged individuals to perform such hideous homicidism, and I wouldn’t be alone. Jews, would be besides themselves with finding answers to that monsterousness.
Not so Islam, and not so muslims. They know better than to ever dare question anything of Mohammed, lest they too be annihilated. And that’s what should be shouted out to the world….
Kessler says
I hope one day I will get to witness Robert Spencer debate Sarsour. She always comes across extremely militant, self righteous and arrogant. I’m sure it’s a strategy which succesfully scares away most opponents.
On that topic – hasn’t it been ages since Robert went head to head with anyone? It’s great to see him getting airtime, but I miss the uninterrupted debate.
Kepha says
Stasi strikes me as the typical Leftoid who is soooooo certain that not only is her side the Sons of Light, but that she herself is the very Light itself. Hence the nasty self-righteousness.
Dan says
Yeah, right.
As a Catholic I’ll remember that the next time pedophile priests are tossed in my face.

it’s unrealistic to expect Muslim Americans to confront violent people in their midst.
So then, in addition to being malevolent liars, killers, and traitors they’re also admitted cowards….
Michael Copeland says
“we should have the same relationship with law enforcement that everybody else has”, says Shahed Amanullah.
They claim this while at the same time instructing members to “Maintain a wall of silence with the FBI”.
Jaladhi says
When jihad(extremism in PC speak) is basis of their religion’s expansion, Muslims will always react with disappointment and anger and victimhood, denial, etc, etc, but will never admit they have jihadis among their midst. Such are Muslims – even when they are in the process of slitting somebody’s neck, they will deny it totally! See what taqiyya teaches them. And our media and leaders will believe them!!
somehistory says
Prisons are full of people saying they are innocent of criminal activity.
Mosques are full of people claiming moslims are not taught terror there and that their unholy book teaches peace and tolerance and that murder is wrong.
Both places are full of those who lie.
Jack Diamond says
These Muslim communities are seas for the sharks to swim freely and hide among. Just like the one in Belgium where the Paris massacre was plotted, and so many others, a community that knows everyone else’s business (a fact) and mosques that sanction “legitimate self-defense” against poor besieged Islam. Thus, Muslims will never side with the kaffir against fellow Muslims. Never ever. They will provide you with rote condemnations of “terrorism” but there is no specific jihad struggle that is not legitimate to them when push comes to shove (and by “terrorism” they usually mean our terrorism against them). They play the victim better than anyone on earth, there’s even an Arab saying about “he hit me then HE cried and ran to the police”–the Muslim method supreme. To quote a phrase, they are either at your throat or at your feet. Right now they are, confidently, at our throat. And they know who has their back.
robert says
these folks admit they’re inspired by Allah and the Quran to carry out these attacks. So yes, these people really do represent authentic, full on Quran believing Islam. Have you checked out the Quran there is a lot violence in it. That is why we need to not let them in in the first place.
jewdog says
Why police people who are already perfect, and far superior to everyone else? Any problems Muslims may have are all caused by infidels, not Muslims. Anyone suggesting otherwise is a racist bigot who deserves to die, and probably should die before saying anything, just to make sure.

This is a result of Muslim inbreeding, that has gone on for 1400 years.

Close, but your point is taken. About 600 years.
pdxnag says
If such sour Islamists were located in a Muslim dominated society (where all chieftains are invariably “extremists”) to whom would they address their angst? Infidels far far away? Heck no, they would just shut their mouth so as not to get slaughtered, by a pious Muslim. (Please move far far away, and address the proper target.)
Pig Jizya says
Sour Muslims are entitled little brats. Cry bullies. And the sour puss Linda San-sour is a perfect example of that.
Roxanne Chester says
Frankly I hope we ALL speak out when we hear ANYONE speak in an intolerant fashion, much less about supporting violence or violent terrorist groups. I realize though there may be cultural implications. I recently read a scholar’s work analyzing 30 years of opinion surveys of Palestinians. Talk about a group of people tolerant of violence!! They don’t even view the murder of Jews as an act of violence but rather a demonstration of religious fealty.
rubiconcrest says
In the same vein R Chester…. Now Muslims will call the police and CAIR or file a lawsuit if you draw a cartoon or ask them to handle pork or deliver beer but a Sharia compliant Muslim who hates jews and threatens violence is someone that is ignored. Perhaps, to give them the benefit of the doubt, it is because there are too many to count.
R Cole says
“Help us to help you stop this.”
Is pretty clear.
::
But with Muslims complaining you wonder – whether they think it should only be talk of ‘Islamophobia’ after every jihadi attack.
Just a few months ago these same people gunned down – threw their Muslim and his wife colleague a baby shower. These where the Muslims – they treated respectfully.
By making this supposed ‘Islamophobic’ backlash [waiting since 911] the top of the agenda – is extremely offensive – and dishonors the memories of those slain.
::
After the Charlie Hebdo attacks President Hollande betted on the ‘Islamophobia’ theory – where criticism and satire of Islam are seen as inviting Islamic attack. We know at least one person – a French policeman – was fined – believe it or not – for mocking al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. But then France was attacked again. Which served as shock treatment for Hollande.
If you listen to US leaders like Clinton – they claim – by saying this or that – you’re playing into ISIS’ hands – who cares – they are cutting people’s throats.
What Hollande found is that trying to be very nice about the extremist aspects of Islam – did not make the terrorist problem in France go away – it just emboldened it.
When they had carried out one attack – mascaraing 129 – the terrorists sit and wait for the focus on ‘Islamophobia’ [self blame /hatred] – while they made preparations for the next attack – making sure they go to the local mosque to pray beforehand.
::
In truth Muslims do need to be handed the broom.
It is they who will ultimately have to clean up this mess.
But first they will need to stop pretending!
bernie says
Well-put. As well, there are some Muslims who are saying that the terrorist attacks in Paris (both in January and November of this year) were somehow justified because “Charlie Hebdo had insulted Islam and Muhammad.”
Charlie Hebdo was offensive and hard to defend, yes, but they were hard-core atheists who equally offended *all* religions. In fact, they had only been sued once by a French Muslim organization, but they had been sued over a dozen times by the French Catholic Church. And, even if most French people agreed that C-H should have had unrestrained free speech (which is doubtful), nothing justified either set of heinous terrorist attacks, including the one against the C-H staff members themselves.
bernie says
P.S. I also note that there are some Islamist leaders and activists (such as preacher Anjem Choudary from the UK) who have suggested that the C-H staff may have brought the terrorist attacks on themselves for being offensive and provocative, even as they (the Islamists) make jokes about 9-11 and other terrorist incidents.
keith says
… you “can’t accept” it..??!! Lol… What are you going to do… put a fatwa out on all of us, ugly Muslim rodent..?!!

Ha, rodent is a good description of her. Ugly bitch, thinks she’s so superior to us infidels!
Mo says
” ‘We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups,’ ”
Gee, could it be because no other faith community has members that REGULARLY go around committing acts of violence?
” said Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour, who has worked extensively with the Black Lives Matter movement and other minority groups. ”
Oh, it figures she’s with the BLM group. They also excuse and deny violence. Perfect combination!
” ‘The fact that this is only directed at the Muslim community is something that I personally can’t accept.’”
As Andrew Breitbart used to say, so? Whether or not you can accept it is irrelevant to the issue itself.
More Ham Ed says
I challenge anyone to list here, in this thread, the names, dates, times, and details of Muslims who have reported and prevented Islamic terrorism. It’s zero or near zero. Meanwhile 27406 ISLAMIC terror attacks since 9/11:
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
Westman says
There is no way to root out violent religious fanatics without speaking the language and being aware within the community.
Ms. Sarsour is abrogating her duty to her children and posterity by refusing to be watchful and useful in removing the violent elements. Declaring instead, discrimination, she opens the door to terrorists who will slip by to create havoc.
In George W’s infamous immortal words, she and hers, for refusal to police their own communities, will ulimately be considered not for, but rather, against the country. This cannot possibly be the outcome she desires
saturnine says
She’s right, because we wouldn’t need to “ask” any other faith community. They would have recognized the gravity of the problem and moved entirely on their own to eradicate it.
Dave J says
Well if the Muslims are “irritated” by the call to examine and report their own extremists, imagine how irritated and sad are the 140+ families of the victims of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks.
BTW, these recent comparisons of massacres in the USA all leave out 9/11, so don’t feed me that.
Muslims want to have it both ways – teach hatred, commit murder of innocents and then play the discriminated-against victims when people don’t like them or resist in any way.
Along with their skills in murder and rape they seem to have a flair for the theatrical – the ritualistic sword at the neck, the prison uniforms for those who were kidnapped, the black flag graphics, glossy magazines and biting at police personnel.
I suppose it is a big theater – if all you do all day is practice your hatred and plot to kill innocents.
Roller says
The more Muslims in a Euro Country the worse the situation.
France and Belgium have the highest numbers and look at the terrorism and problems they are having.
America is starting to have all the nightmares Islam brings and its got less that 1% Muslim population!
Learn from the mistakes of Europe as its too late for us.

Dave J says
“Islam is like nothing else in history”.
True, and this is why the modern West doesn’t get it. They cannot conceive of such a ruthless and determined opponent. These people cannot be bought off or converted and they have both infinite patience and a short list of interests.
Once you realize that the cloaking of a “religion” is being used to facilitate a political and cultural takeover it starts to make more sense.
No Muslim will out another because that would be apostasy and blasphemy. We all know the punishment for apostates and many other “offenders”.
So there is a real reason to stop the immigration of Muslims to America – unless we are OK with living in a Beirut style shooting and bombing war right here at home from now on.
fjdlv@aol.com says
Here is an idea for a chance for “moderate” muslims to show just how serious they are about wanting to reform islam:
Ask the moderate “leaders” in the US like CAIR or MAS officials at a major national symposium or UN General Assembly Conference if they, here and now, fully and without reservation, and in public, and unanimously, declare that the killing of Apostates from islam will henceforth be FORBIDDEN and a SIN. Then have them sign a joint letter to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence (Al-Azhar, Qom, Mecca, Medina, etc..) and their grand mufti. This would then be followed by a massive self-funded media campaign aimed at both a domestic audience and foreign audience to spread the word.
Why not try this as the “moderates” always proclaim how peaceful islam really is and they always blame fake muslims “hijacking” their faith?
Jeremiah says
We have been far too accepting of these so-called minority adventurers.

Oh give me an f’ing break. The whole PC/MC machine has been demanding for decades that Christians apologize 24/7 because, don’t you know, we are racist, bigoted, hateful, imperialistic warmongers, to the point where we will never stand up straight again even if we wanted to because our neck muscles have been permanently fused into the hang-dog position.
And they DARE to complain to us about imposed self-examination?

“We’re community members and Americans like everybody else.”
Are you kidding me? This is exactly why we shouldn’t let muslims into our country. They are not like everybody else. Let’s prevent them from becoming community members and Americans in the first place. While we’re at it, let’s lose the ones that are presently here.
Edward says
‘Some Muslims in U.S. irritated by Obama’s call for them to root out ‘extremism’.
The Muslim world is milking the cow now…..for they ignorantly and foolishly think they are on a roll:
Our POTUS and many more notables have succumbed to this folly (Islam adherent’s violence) that has embraced the entire world’s mostly prudent people by surprise. Perhaps, the victims of this malaise in a way have been mesmerized (hypnotized) by subliminal means involuntarily. One can surmise this by their denial of the existence, oblivious of the dangers facing all of us is a hint of their affliction!
The purveyors of this maligned and perverse behavior know very well of this disabling of human wills is the answer to their goal of domination of the succumbed …..they call it submission to allah!
Solely, we as human beings have the obligation to untie the knots that bounds us to this spiritual evil.
WE, should not depend on our so called leaders to find the answers, for they should be administrators only, whose mission of theirs are to administer our will needs according the US Constitutional Laws.
Is there an antidote to derail these phenomena? Surprisingly yes! I mentioned of many prudent people have been surprised by their fall to the exposure of this will bending encounters. These same individuals can unravel this will disabling mechanism easily. Remember, I said prudent people…..for they already cognizant of the prudence virtue in their subconscious’
Prudence: the Mother of all Virtues! > the quality or fact of being prudent, or wise in practical affairs, as by providing for the future.
A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The [oblivious] simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. – Proverbs 22:3
The wise don’t make a show of their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness. – Proverbs 12:23
There stands the profile of an Islamic adherent, PERIOD.
logdon says
With Islam it’s always second first.
We see it all the time in Israel where the terrorist provocation is airbrushed from the scene and what we’re left with is Israeli agression as if it came from nowhere.
But this is all in accord with Islamic justice and jurispudence. If they attack the kuffar that is ok because it’s all part of the Quranic concoction of notions of justice.
In other words the concept of an equal scale to them is laughable because Islam is always supreme.
This is not an aberation, or as our PC brigade would have it, a perversion of Islam, it is core stuff.
Manuel Franco says
Simple, IMHO; if you’re so butthurt by being told the truth, then just stop being so god damn muslim altogether!
Kasey says
No other faith in a religion has a major ideological component that is far more massive than its religious part. It’s ideological component relies largely on intense and compulsive indoctrination of discriminatory, intolerant, supremicist, violent and lethal directives, supposedly as the direct words of their god to its youth and converts., Allah words must be obeyed by all Muslims. Some who don’t are either ignorant of or choose to ignore such directives, but certainly those who follow the Wahabbi/Salifist doctrines of Islam do, Add to that the continual Sunni/Shi’a lethal divide, and you have a combination of a murderous entities that passes itself off as a religion. to gain some form of warped respectability.

Jihad from what? This world does not belong to muslims alone.All non muslims and even the plants fish animals all have a right to live in Peace so what the hell is Jihad?We ahve so many problems facing us poverty ,arms race,ebola,aids global warming these stupid people talk about Jihad? nonsense its time we odinary citizens support Good people like Mr.Trump of what he said about Fanatic Jihadi muslims
Mr.Justin Trudeau of canada and many other are not correct bringing in syrian and other muslim refugees from already troubled mulim countries as many of us feel there maybeTerrorrists among them and this will harm us and our future generationsWhy dosent he bring in non muslims from these troubled muslimcountries where non muslims are killed daily?.
The whole world now knows whats happening in Brussels, France and many Europeon countries after the French attack.its clear Terrorists are mixing in with the refugees and slipping inside western countries to establish Islam rule and bring terror to all non muslims who they hate so much.then why go there why leave their country?? These Islamic fanatic groups are also persent in India Bangladesh,Pakistan,Afghanistan we can go on.So now we all the ordinary citizens wonder what does our future hold for us in the hands of these Islamic Fanatics.what about our future generations is this how we want to leave our beloved countries to our kids where Islamic rule is going to prevail.its clear now it was a big mistake letting in Fanatic muslims into non-muslim countries and now they are multiplying like rabbits and taken over many quite and beautiful countries like Sweden, Netherlands Switzerland etc where even the women are attacked an draped to prove their points.While non muslims are attacked and their churches ,temples are burnt in all muslim countries.Ex:(Please look up in google and see what happened to Kashmir hindu pundits who were driven away from kashmir by islamic fundamentalities are now living in refugees camps) but yet they want to be given more rights to do what ever the hell they want in other countries.First they must be kind to non muslims in their muslim countries before protesting.Now we hear Mr.Justin trudaue is hurying too bring in 25000 refugees from Syria to canada just because he promised in his election speech to bring in muslim refugees just to get the muslim vote.like many other poiyicians around the world
Does he and his minsters have even thought that terror groups might be among them and turn Canada into another rFrance?we belong to Canada too so we too have the right to ask why not bring in the minorities in muslim countries who are subjected to torture in the hands of muslim mullas.
already we see new generation young muslims who come from troubled muslim countries still look at all non muslims as traitors then why bring in more and make our lives a pure Hell. in the uk there are no go zone to non muslims does anyone know common friends lets stop these stupid politicians for the personal gains take us for granted.
And many around the world are wondering why rich oil Arab countries like UAE not taking in Muslim refugees from Syria and we have to take them and why do they not go there they are the same people right you know why the arabic countries do not want them why only western countries have to take them while all arab countries just watch.do nothing?
Pamela says
Linda Sarsour is a hypocrite with a loud voice. Of course we would call out our own, if they committed crimes. In fact recently one of the biggest dept stores in Germany KaDeWe decided to boycott Israeli products, I along with others mobilized and write to them, including on their facebook page.. the very following day they reversed theie position, because their mailbox and facebook was flooded by letters of anger, but what shocked me,,, was that most were written by Germans. I literally buckled with gratitude. Linda Sarsour.. woman up, and use your voice for change. Good change, enough inciting more Jihadis, and NEVER condemning terrorism.
Dani says
I have been saying this all along, if the Muslims want to make good and become trust worthy Americans they need to rat out their own.
It doesn’t happen and we all know why.
Sheri says
(Quote) “We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups,” said Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour (End)
A “Church Family” does stand-up against those who act out of accordance with the laws of God and “Peace” within their church families. I have seen disciplinary acts carried out within a church.
As a young child I was also taught these values started in our personal homes “first”.
(Quote) “I will continue to speak out against the discrimination, vilification and isolation that American Muslims face in these challenging times,” Johnson said. (End)
While Muslims claim discrimination, vilification and isolation their “claim” also applies to the other non-Muslim peoples in the world who have been treated as such and so much worse that they no longer exist to even make that “claim”.
We as a people of many other faiths who live in peace with each other must stand firm and we speak for the persecuted and the dead who’s living lights were put out by Islamic violence.
For “Peace” we have laws and we willing follow the laws in our homes, neighborhoods, places of worship and our work places. The alternative is to be led by tyrants.
Oppressaphobe says
They are very silent about the problems their sect has caused but…
look how silent they are when they feel that the rest of us are imposing on them??
Not silent at all, are they?
It’s not hard to to take on extremism in the context of their local community and mosque and more to the point:
IF IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO STAND UP TO EVIL IN THEIR MIDST THEN WE HAVE AN
IMMEDIATE AND PRESENT DANGER THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED WITH ALL OUT WAR!!!
IT’S JUST THAT SIMPLE.
Dude says
I remember when the Soviets used to do the SAME thing. They would ENGAGE in some outrageous action, then immediately accuse others of precisely that same action, and claim Victim status for themselves.
I no longer expect Honesty from certain groups, including Leftists, Democrats, muslims, among others..
Each of these are superbly adept at using ‘the system’.for some pitiful attempt at Sympathy while they engage in acts of Evil themselves.
Each of these groups define Good/Bad, Success/Failure, Up/Down in ways so totally alien to that of the rest of the World, it is useless to attempt to Reason w/ them. This is no accident, for they assume that If one cannot REASON with them, then one has no option left except to negotiate their grievances, which typically means that they’ll get SOMETHING as a Reward for their Bellyaching. Sadly, they are frequently proven correct.
Ringgo1 says
Dude, you are exactly right.

We wouldn’t be asking you to if those obeying the commandments of the “religion of peace” didn’t murder so many innocents EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Donna Z in MA says
Aren’t we all tired of hearing that same old whine “You can’t hold all of us responsible for terrorist acts made by a small minority, after all when Christian extremists commit acts of terror we don’t blame all of Christianity.”
The difference? The Christians come down hard on those individuals and have them answer for their crimes, whereas Islam cowers in a corner crying “It’s not us”, and does nothing to stop it within themselves – that inaction gives the impression of support of those criminal acts.
Reminds me of the Edmund Burke quote: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing” Show us your “good men (& women)” then Islam.
Ric says
Ironically, the so-called moderates are in the cheer leading section, sitting on the sidelines; this apparently washes their hands of blood spilled by the terrorist-faction, the mass-murderers of this bloodletting cult, Islam. Let them be miffed… Obama has been in their corner from day one. Even after the terror attack in SB, he took his sweet time calling this mass-murder that which it truly was, Islamist-terrorism; though not specifically that strongly.
MKG says
Well there you have it folks. We want to hear more from muslims other than deafening silence on how to combat extremism, and so we have.
Zo0tie says
As a progressive I have felt for a long time the big problem is us meddling with the internal affairs of middle eastern nations just to get their oil and to heck with what they want. But after San Bernardino I have been doing some fact checking and yes indeed there is a nasty strain in the purest of Islam ideology to treat non-muslims as less than human. And if not converted then to be subdued or to be exterminated. It’s in the book. This is not to say other religions don’t have their dark side but Islam developed in a background of military struggle, temporary alliances and betrayal. They never had a reformation. A ‘religions are all equal’ attitude is not any more valid than the statement that ‘the democrats are just as bad as the republicans’. What’s really scary is that the petite-bourgeoisie mentality of Western/American culture does not seem to have the tools to understand how unfulfilling its message of economic prosperity and consumerism is to many people. Syed was an American. Born and bred here. Radicalization is just a buzz word for ‘we don’t have a clue about why this guy did what he did.’ What was it? Brain parasites? Zombie drugs? Manchurian Candidate brainwashing? Until we face up to the fact that we don’t know what we don’t know and that lot’s of what we do know, ain’t true, forces like ISIS will continue to spread and infect the world, perhaps even our own country. And the world will get a lot scarier than it already is

When someone makes a better battery the price of oil will fall to $5 a barrel. If they want to move, they have to do it now. Oil money is going to go away soon.

Love the photo! “Woman dresses as BRIDE OF SATAN! or maybe: DRESSED AS SERVANT OF EVIL!
Notice the body language. “You filthy KIFAR, trying to tell US! How to wage JIHAD!” Is anyone fooled?
jduron says
Texas Mosque shut down due to Mosque laundering funds and supplying funds to TERRORISTS! Texas had the guts to investigate why not the Federal Obama Minions turning DEAF, DUMB and BLIND not investigating Mosques?

Look at how Sarsour dresses.
Attention whoring her Islamic beliefs.
No wonder she found it “offensive” that Muslims should root out the “bad ones.”
Muslims ALL look out for each other.
Dieter says
“Progressives” love to blame America and our values for everything they find wrong with the world. Consumerism, and free market are the engines of our success and I for one refuse to apologize for them! Together they have brought more happiness and good to the world than all the hare-brained, social justice plans in the world. Communism, in full or part, socialist dictatorship, democratic socialism, National socialism, or whatever you want to call it… is a total failure at helping human beings.
Jay Boo says
As a child she must have been one of those narcissistic brats who always insisted on getting her way.

Why do young Muslim men want to die to chase virgins in heaven when all the old Muslim men got all the babes at home? A racket that pimps are envious of. Do like Muhammad Ali, don’t go to war…

Robert Spencer,
I read your Jihad Watch bulletin every day and I think you are doing an exceptional job. Please keep it up because what you’re doing is so unique and necessary. I hope all other readers are as grateful as I am. Most importantly, my prayer is that all your work will make a difference and that people’s minds (including Muslims?) will be enlightened.
