Jacob Bender, the non-Muslim Useful Idiot who heads up Hamas-linked CAIR’s Philadelphia chapter, here boasts: “What CAIR can do, however, and what it has been doing superbly for 10 years now, is to oppose the anti-Muslim ideology of the Trumps, the Cruzs, the Pamela Gellers, the Robert Spencers…” Notice that he doesn’t say that Hamas-linked CAIR is opposing the ideology of the Syed Rizwan Farooks, the Mohammed Abdulazeezes, the Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs, the Nidal Malik Hasans.
As for those he does mention, Hamas-linked CAIR is opposing us so superbly that Trump actually has a chance to become President of the United States, and whether he does or not, he has moved the public discourse to a place where the issues of jihad terror and Islamization can be discussed more honestly in the mainstream than has been possible for years. Cruz has outlasted most of the Republican candidates to remain one of Trump’s chief rivals. Pamela Geller is planning an exciting new initiative and I am busier than ever speaking all over the country: yes, Hamas-linked CAIR is doing its job of demonization and marginalization of foes of jihad terror superbly.
More importantly, Bender here repeats the common and hysterical claim that “Muslims are the new Jews,” which has been answered many times — as often as it has been asserted. Islamic apologist Karen Armstrong, Leftist “journalist” Jeffrey Goldberg, Iranian front group Board member Reza Aslan, Muslim Brotherhood-linked Congressman Keith Ellison, Nicholas Kristof, and Canadian Muslim leader Syed Sohawardy, among many others, have repeated it. The blazingly brilliant Daniel Greenfield takes it apart in this video. And in 2014, Bill Maher noted: “Jews weren’t oppressing anybody. There weren’t 5,000 militant Jewish groups. They didn’t do a study of treatment of women around the world and find that Jews were at the bottom of it. There weren’t 10 Jewish countries in the world that were putting gay people to death just for being gay.” Indeed, and no one is calling for or justifying genocide of Muslims now; there is no individual or group remotely comparable to the National Socialists in any genuine sense.
Christopher Hitchens also refuted this idea when writing a few years ago about the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero: “‘Some of what people are saying in this mosque controversy is very similar to what German media was saying about Jews in the 1920s and 1930s,’ Imam Abdullah Antepli, Muslim chaplain at Duke University, told the New York Times. Yes, we all recall the Jewish suicide bombers of that period, as we recall the Jewish yells for holy war, the Jewish demands for the veiling of women and the stoning of homosexuals, and the Jewish burning of newspapers that published cartoons they did not like.”
The purpose of this claim is to intimidate people into thinking that criticism of Islamic supremacism leads to the concentration camps, and thus there must be no criticism of Islamic supremacism. The unstated assumption is that if one group was unjustly accused of plotting subversion and violence, and was viciously persecuted and massacred on the basis of those false accusations, then any group accused of plotting subversion and violence must be innocent, and any such accusation must be in service of preparing for their subversion and massacre. It is simply a method to foreclose on any criticism of jihad terror and Islamic supremacism.
“Blood Libels, Trump, and How to Oppose Islamophobia,” by Jacob Bender, Hamas-linked CAIR-Philadelphia, February 24, 2016 (thanks to Steve):
My aunt was blind in one eye. When she was a child in Czarist Russia, anti-Semitic gangs rode through the Jewish village where she lived, burning and shooting. A sliver of glass went into her eye.
The reason for this destruction: a local child had gone missing, and the Christian peasants were convinced that the Jews had murdered the child and used his blood in the making of matzot, the ritual bread we Jews eat during the holiday of Passover. This absurd claim, known as the “Blood Libel”, had a long history in European Christianity, and led to the murder of thousands of Jews in the 15th through the 19th Centuries, exposing the racist heart at the center of the West, a civilization in which the dominant majority culture descended into hatred in order the transform the minority in its midst, the Jews, into the hated OTHER, an inferior and dangerous kind of human being.
In today’s America, the Muslim has become this hated OTHER, in part due to the spreading of hate, lies, and distortions by certain media outlets and public personalities, some of whom are even running for president, the highest office in the land….
What CAIR can do, however, and what it has been doing superbly for 10 years now, is to oppose the anti-Muslim ideology of the Trumps, the Cruzs, the Pamela Gellers, the Robert Spencers, and educate the American public about the values of Islam, its love of peace, its dedication to charity, its belief in religious co-existence….

Furthermore, there is a DISTINCT opportunism among some, who have the means to, to BOTH pit two groups of people against each other, AND thus, undermine the UNITY of a Nation, or a belief system.
G. Sorrows, [my ‘moniker’ for him], is one such dissembler…and, there is ALSO a rather powerful lobby assisting his type, but for FAR MORE nefarious purposes, (which “Gorgie-porggie” might NOT be a part of), than “G. Sorrows” realizes.
What we’re encountering these days, is the manifestation of a concerted effort to level the “playing field” of the G.P., (while GREATLY empowering a small “power elite”), to be able to develop & establish a “belief system” that GREATLY increases the likelihood of a GLOBAL CONTROL SYSTEM.
A VERY telling piece of evidence is the Letter that Grand Master Mason, Albert Pike sent to his Italian friend & Masonic equal, in 1886 or ’87. He detailed that 3 World Wars would be instigated, (the 1st one would destroy the Monarchies, the 2nd would change the Global Power structure, and, the 3rd would pit the “Mohammadan World” against the “Christian World”…
Seems VERY LIKELY we’re being “played” folks! And, it is a CERTAINTY that there is MUCH MORE at stake than mere “Politics”…
Quite frankly, a SERIOUS study of Matt. 24; Lk.21; Ezk. 36 – 39; Zec.13 – 14; and then “The Book of Revelation”, should alert you to just how UTTERLY significant what we’re seeing, and, encountering, actually is!

CAIR is inviting the American people to egress from freedom to tyranny.

After every Muslim supremacist Qur’an inspired hate crime against non-Muslims we hear —…
“But what about me?” from Muslims
mortimer says
Muslims are worried about the ‘honor’ they lose every time that terrorists commit an atrocity in the name of Islam.
They have no way to restore their personal ‘honor’, because the crimes are clearly in accordance with the jihad doctrine of world conquest and with Islam’s kafir doctrine of religion-based bigotry.
Ordinary, hard-working, tax-paying Muslims cannot defend jihad terrorism in front of their American neighbors without abandoning Islam. This is becoming clear to more and more Americans.
Muslims have nowhere to hide from the cognitive dissonance of not rejecting the normative Islamic terror against Americans, when those Muslims hold American passports themselves. They don’t want to admit they should be killed by jihadists, but they refuse to think about the jihad doctrine that declares war against all infidels.

Also Gehenna was a garbage dump where a fire burned day and night. Not only garbage, but dead bodies were thrown there when a burial was considered unnecessary, such as for criminals the populace felt unworthy of burial.

Jesus used it as a symbol of what will happen to those unwilling to obey God’s commandments. No resurrection expected for those going to Gehenna.

Westman says
We have no problem with Muslims on a personal basis, our doctors, engineers, and fellow workers who are Arabs, Persians, Africans, etc. I’ve worked professionally with Iranians and Pakistanis. It is the Islamic Ideology that does not discriminate between the 7th Century mind and the modern mind that is the enabler of violence and chaos toward kufars and within the Umma.
Many German’s were not Nazis in 1940, but that didn’t change what the ideology did to world peace. Islam Ideology justifies violence both within its ranks and against unbelievers. The fact that the majority of “Syrian” Muslims will choose peace is no consolation when ISLAM WILL NOT POLICE ITSELF AGAINST AGGRESSION and has continual warfare between its own sects.
Muslims could end the reluctance of the West to migration by making a universal declaration of non-violence, turning in the potential terrorists, cleaning up after themselves, and stop warring among themselves. The “refugees” allow riots and the molestation of women in their own refugee camps. They will not police themselves and therefore, cannot be trusted as a group. Serious vetting is required.
CAIR is quickly becoming irrelevant to reality. The “refugees” are challenging the liberal Westetn mindset with reality.
miriamrove says
Muslims would make any kind of declaration against Islam and their pedophile prophet. Not any time soon. I literrly had a conversation with my sister this morning about Trump banning Muslims. Her answer was: the people that go around and killing others are not real muslims. There you have it. m

Most Germans did not vote for Hitler, but all worked for Hitler. All Germans believed the master race theory. And all Muslims believe the master RELIGION theory.
Both supremacist theories grant the right to remove the human rights and civil liberties of ‘others’ and HURT THEM.
Muslims will all agree they have the right to hurt blasphemers and apostates.
Westman says
Actually that was me, Mortimer. The people I worked with, or their parents, had come to the US in the 60-80’s, prior to 9/11. They were not devout, preferring to adopt the ways and freedom of the West. They had some definite ideas about particular Islamic nations they disdained. There is a pecking order in the ME.
The “oneness” of Islam doesn’t exist and there is definite division within Islamic countries between the educated vs uneducated. Organizations like CAIR do not represent the flotsam now coming to Europe – they represent the educated and privileged Muslim ME “brain drain” of first and second generation who see their status being destroyed by militant groups like ISIS and the bad actors among the “refugees”. It, rightly, frightens them.
CAIR’s purpose is to maintain the image for the US Muslim upper class, which is becoming almost impossible in a world of instant communications. They cannot break the connecting link of Islam’s Ideology so they must declare Islamophobia instead of reasoning. They are becoming irrelevant, unable to put a good face on why wealthy Muslim countries refuse to take the “refugees”.
Demsci says
Very interesting and instructive Westman. I agree. In Rotterdam, in a city of 612.000, we may have more than 100.000 Muslims, Our mayor, many civil servants, and for instance, supermarketcashiers are Muslim (at least the females are most often easily identifiable by their hijabs). But at least the mayor has declared himself pro-democracy (he had to, being a member of the social democrats). (You know, I saw him speeching at a chanouka-celebration, wearing a jewish “keppeltje” head-cover then!)
The point I keep encountering around me, IN me, is the question whether the Islamic original most important guiding texts, so Quran-Ahadith-Sira, and so NOT the TAFSIR of subsequent human islamic scholars, are MONO-Interpretable or MULTI-interpretable.
All Muslims except a few would have you believe that they are MONO-int. BUT GOOD or perhaps NEUTRAL. Counterjihadists, like Geert Wilders, swear too that the core-texts are MONO-int, but bad for us, democratic citizens.
But the default-position of people who do not think about it, surely must be that Islam-core-texts are MULTI-int, because only in that way it can be reasonably explained that there are both “radical” Muslims (who cannot be all wrong) AND somehow a peaceful Majority (who cannot be ALL IGNORANT of their core-texts-meaning).
For those who see Islam’s coretexts as MULTI-int I see no reason why Muslims, like Mayor Aboutaleb has done, can NOT declare themselves “Democratic Muslims” and thus opposed to “theocratic totalitarian Muslims”.
But not many Westerners or Muslims agree with me, I admit. Although THIS must be the position of Daniel Pipes, Clarion Project, almost all politicians, police officers, media in the West, if only they use logic, in my opinion. They just won’t say it. They stay stuck in only the denial that Islam is bad or all bad.

did you catch *this* article when Mr Spencer put it up here for reading and discussion a while ago?
Very important, and needs to be translated into different European languages.

“The Vast Majority Myth,” by William Kilpatrick, Crisis Magazine, December 15, 2015:
http://www.crisismagazine.com/2015/the-vast-majority-myth
DEmsci says
DDA, what I say is subtle. So bear with me please.
About what the vast majority of Muslims thinks you and many extremely knowledgeable and intelligent people may well be right. Can I at least get that across? I did NOT dispute THAT. And you, someone who at least responded, still DID conclude THAT.
What I say is about Quran-Ahadith-Sira (QAS): In that corpus there are a big number of clear verses. But LUXENBURG, whom YOU must know, tells us that 20 % or so of the Quran is really unintelligible, NOT NOT NOT CLEAR!!! And when the total of QAS, then we see CLEAR verses but CONTRADICTIVE to OTHER clear verses. And David Wood, whom you must know, MOCKED THAT.
So, in total, that QAS is NOT CLEAR, only IN PART, but many parts CONTRADICT.
And how could it be different with such a horrible stupid ideology??? Would you have dignified THAT drivel with HIGH PERFECT CLARITY? NOOOOO, it is obsolete, unchangeable, contradictive, very incomplete, in part unintelligible, very ambiguous!!!
What intelligent people like you and Robert Spencer keep not getting, it seems to me, is that that very ambiguity can be used against the Jihad!!!
When it gets thoroughly appreciated by a 51 % majority how ambiguous QAS is, in combination with Spencers mountains of proof of anti-democratic, hostile, arrogant, supremacist Muslims, of whom there are hundreds of millions, what then?!
Then FINALLY we, AS A MAJORITY of Parliament, have something reasonable to demand from Muslims, saying: Look, hundreds of Muslims INTERPRET Islam thus that they hate us, and our system and values.
SO YOU IMMIGRANT MUSLIM, cannot be let IN, solely being Muslim”. The Quran-A-S are simply TOO ambiguous and there are simply too many dangerous threathening interpretationt thereof in the world.
YOU must show us a different INTERPRETATION, and WE, have the right to monitor you to see if you hold yourself to THAT interpretation and not to a hostile interpretation.
And WE know that pro-democracy-interpretations of Islam MUST EXIST, because we know that Islam is MULTI-interpretable. We know this from many Islam-apologists whom we can show you.
so choose pro-democracy-Islam and keep choosing that or LEAVE!!!
Something the majority in parliament will net let you do with a MULTI-interpretable QAS, but not with a MONO-interpretable one, NOW that the others think Islam is MONO-interpretable and only peaceful, not believing YOU , who say Islam is MONO-interpretable,, on ly in a hostile way. Not even the experts Daniel Pipes and Ryan Mauro of Clarion Project believe you with that, let alone all those citizens who can’t bear it when Muslims and Islam are painted with the same brush!!!! You must know that!
But a western majority WOULD accept MULTI-interpretability of Islam and hence the demand to Muslims that they must adhere to the democracy-friendly interpretation, which they cannot deny and then keep in harmony with A MAJORITY of us.
Far from being oblivious of the danger I seem to see the only way to get the majority to do something against Islam, without resorting to violent measures!!!
Why can’t anybody see that? Or at least try that?
mortimer says
Bender wrote: “…educate the American public about the values of Islam, its love of peace, its dedication to charity, its belief in religious co-existence…”
Bender’s claims are disproved:
1) love of peace: in fact, Islam teaches warfare against disbelievers until they are politically captured and repressed under Sharia law 2) dedication to charity: Islamic charity must never go a kafir according to Sharia law; in fact, if a Muslim gives money to a dirty kafir, it is considered a bride to ‘soften his heart to receive Islam’ 3) religious co-existence: in fact, Islam’s apartheid doctrine (al Walaa wal Baraa) teaches there is no equality between a Muslim supremacist and a dirty kafir. Only Jews and Christians are allowed to practice their faith (in private only) if they pay an exorbitant extortion tax and all other religionists are to be slain, according to Sharia law.
Bender is either unacquainted with Sharia law or completely dishonest… a liar or a fool. If Bender has not read the Islamic foundational texts (Koran, Sira, hadiths, canonical commentaries and Sharia manuals), he is totally unprepared to defend Islam and is a total fraud. He will, I predict, not last long in the job.
He should read an interesting book about Islamic persecution of Jews by fellow Jew Dr. Andrew Bostom called “The Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism”.
Bender should read what was written by one of Judaism’s greatest sages Maimonides: ‘…God has cast us into the midst of this people, the nation of Ishmael [that is, Muslims], who PERSECUTE us severely, and who devise ways to HARM us and to DEBASE us…. No nation has EVER DONE MORE HARM to Israel. None has matched it in debasing and humiliating us. None has been able to REDUCE us as they have…. We have borne their imposed DEGRADATION, their LIES, their ABSURDITIES, which are beyond human power to bear…. We have done as our sages of blessed memory have instructed us, bearing the lies and absurdities of Ishmael…. In spite of all this, we are not spared from the ferocity of their WICKEDESS and their outbursts at any time. On the contrary, the more we suffer and choose to CONCILIATE them, the more they choose to act belligerently toward us…’
Maimonides lived it. Appeasement of Muslims DOES NOT WORK any more today than it worked in the time of Maimonides.
Are you listening, Mr. Bender?
Voytek Gagalka says
He cannot read that excellent book by Andrew Bostom, for the same reason that he can’t read works of Spencer, Geller, and many comments posted here: He is square minded. If there ever was a perfect square, Mr. Bender’s brain is a living example. Oh, yes, from ferocity of his hate toward any critic of Islam, he just forgot to mention name of yet another great contributor: Andrew Bostom.
mortimer says
Bender can read. Bender can learn. Bender can change. He will leave CAIR soon when he observes their duplicity, their taqiyya and their fierce Jew hatred. It won’t be long.
Jerry in Minneapolis says
Mr. Spencer is right of course. Bender offers a false analogy. Using the persecution of Jews can only be a valid comparison in cases of bad intent based on malicious lies. But in regard to islam that is not the case, because the best arguments against islam are based on truth, sound morality, and good intentions. The arguments Spencer, Geller, and their compatriots present are unequivocally moral, patriotic, and wholly consistent with western human rights, the finest and best intentioned morality on the planet.
Ya know, there’s a silver lining in every feeble attempt by these islamists to advance or defend their violent, politically-driven faith. Every time they open their maligning mouths they inadvertently provide a free-throw opportunity for Spencer, Geller, and others to expound their unassailable truths for freedom and human rights. I recall the old saying, “Give ’em enough rope, and they’ll hang themselves.” Our democratic system of freedom has provided these violent and hateful muslims with the rope, and thank goodness, they rarely fail to hang themselves.
mortimer says
There is no consistent teaching in Islam.
Jerry in Minneapolis says
So true. But they are all “consistent” in that they are variations on a theme:
Murder and bigotry for allah, and the supremacy of islam over all.
They are all consistently evil.
mortimer says
No. They are not consistently ‘evil’ and that is part of the problem…two faces.
Naïve Muslims believe the more tolerant Koran of Mecca is valid, whereas Islamic scholars insist about 160 ‘tolerant’ verses of Mecca are now abrogated and nullified.
Many Muslims are sincerely wrong because they haven’t read the source texts and canonical writings. They pick and choose…theirs is an Islam-à-la-carte.

———————————————————————————
Yes, I agree. But like “two faces” of a serial killer. One for normal everyday stuff, the other for killing.
I feel no need to differentiate between the various interpretations of islam like you do, and then declare some good and others bad. On a sociological level I don’t care that many muslims are “sincerely wrong,” so are most crooks, pedophiles, and murderers. No, I only care about the inescapable consequences of allowing too many muslims into any western nation, which means the spread of JIHAD for allah and BIGOTRY against non-muslims–evil traditions and doctrines shared by a majority of muslims even in the “nicer” versions.
Many nice people spread deadly diseases, maybe out of ignorance or unconcern. I don’t accept their spread of disease uncaringly because they’re “sincere” in their ignorance. And neither do I think islam can be “good” because some muslims are sincere in choosing a softer interpretation of its evils.
Thanks for giving me the chance to clarify.
Mark Swan says
Good and Evil…Right and Wrong simply means What Works and What Does Not Work…
Islam is an Ideology…Religiously Practiced…But not based on fact and truth…lacking it
It rejects the authority on what works and what does not work…It allows Human nature
to dictate rules in very personal matters…but does not allow for the presence of a free
will which God gives to all Humans…ignoring this basic right permitted by God ….
It must use Coercion to maintain adherence…even then adherence to what…this is the
more potent question…Which is not explained in logic it is simply stated and insisted…
Nothing good can come from following this…adhering to It can not work good.

Just the opposite, cartoons from the Arab World perpetuate the blood libels he blames on Christians and Gaza:PA TV presents it daily child version and Adult Version. Jacob don’t try being a Historian or Journalist, Facts are not your Forte. CAIR WHEN WILL YOU WITHOUT KEY WORD WITHOUT QUALIFICATION DENOUNCE THE TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS HAMAS AND MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD?

What CAIR can do, however, and what it has been doing superbly for 10 years now, is to oppose the anti-Muslim ideology of the Trumps, the Cruzs, the Pamela Gellers, the Robert Spencers, and educate the American public about the values of Islam, its love of peace, its dedication to charity, its belief in religious co-existence….

Wow this is so deceitful …
The *real* deal is that CAIR IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION:

Agreed, using law-fare, Community organizing, propaganda, networking with political, religious and educational officials and visibility.

Why does Donald scare them? Because he will not bow to the followers of the pedophile…

While CAIR is saving us from Trump, Cruz and others, who will save us from CAIR and the Islamic fanatics
they are helping?

Fox’s Megan Kelly slaps down the “Council on American Islamic Relations”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lunKl81g6Y
This is absolutely excellent! Megan’s guest pulls no punches when attacking the CAIR spokeswoman, repeating much of the accusations in the video above. I have never seen such a good show, a thorough condemnation of CAIR on “mainstream” media.

“Superbly for 10 years” and then the crash and burn…
Uh…this is America ya doofs, we experience “market crashes” all(ah) the time. It was YOUR turn this time C.A.I.R.
And you have failed….SPECTACULARLY so…
Ya forgot two things in this 1,400 year death march:
1. Women now have dicks and major Arnold S. balls
2. LGBT Rainbow Battalion, (which includes many variations of women noted in item 1.
Back to the drawing board boys…this one is really, really, really, butt(hurt) REALLY a bad plan.

Right, Baghdad Bob, nothing to do with muslims all over the world killing for the sake of allah…

“You have done a superb job Mr. Bender.”
Yes. If he leaves, as Mortimer predicts, he will have inside information.
Can’t leave Islam without the prescribed penalty. I wonder if you can leave CAIR without penalty.

Bologna 3/365. Okay if they wish to engorge themselves, but trying to force-feed everyone else is so obnoxious. Thankfully, it is not working as they wish it to.
I don’t need or want, nor seek their *saving powers.* Far from saving anyone from anything, they are leading people to follow satan to destruction.

“Notice that he doesn’t say that Hamas-linked CAIR is opposing the ideology of the Syed Rizwan Farooks, the Mohammed Abdulazeezes, the Dhokhar Tsarnaevs, the Nidal Malik Hasans.”
Robert Spencer, you always seem to be hitting the nail on the head.

What is the guy to the left of Bender saying?
“I do not agree with that”
“Really I do not believe that”

“…and educate the American public about the values of Islam, its love of peace, its dedication to charity, its belief in religious co-existence….”
Interestingly, it is the same right to freedom of speech that allows Islamic apologists like Jacob Bender to insult the intelligence of the American public in this manner, that they call “Islamophobia” when it comes from others.
We will believe Jacob Bender and his ilk in CAIR, when Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Turkey and the other Muslim majority nations demonstrate Islamic “love of peace, dedication to charity, belief in religious co-existence….” Until then, Jacob Bender should be grateful to the true God, which he does not know, that Americans respect human lives; otherwise someone would have decorated their yard with his head on a pole!

You Got That Right touga

“values of Islam, its love of peace, its dedication to charity, its belief in religious co-existence….”
If these things were true, they would be self-evident….but they aren’t, and saying doesn’t make it so. I see none of these things. Look around the world to see how Islam works where is has power and dominance; that is where its values become self-evident.
Note to CAIR; thanks but no thanks. Not interested in your “miserable house”, and your bloody ties to Hamas, and your Sharia agenda, and your disinformation campaigns.
Mark Swan says
Absolutely..I Agree
underbed cat says
This organization does what is was meant to do, misdirect the infidels, commands straight out the koran. They are so good that they really could start an acting school….act pious, dress nicely, speak softly, get degrees, and be a credible deceiver. Set up charities, support fighters,start a hidjra mass migration, donate large sums of Saudi money, build 2500 mosques to spread and seduce…..purchase large tracks of land in states with mayors that may be knowledgeable of the intention. Slow steady and hidden in the wilderness. Most important, by the time jihad starts, (deny the connection to terror) then snap into action… the Saudi purchased media station will take your comments….deny and be concerned about “backlash”. Save the innocent.
Unfortunately….for the (rest of us) infidels, no inclusion. Pretty clever.
mortimer says
CAIR=Disinformation.
Khair in Arabic means ‘a good thing’, a synonym for ‘Islam’.
The phrase is ‘let him speak khair or be silent’. The purpose of CAIR is to silence non-Islamic speech.
Mark Swan says
underbed cat and mortimer…Absolutely I Agree
billybob says
If CAIR were put down and disbanded as they should be, maybe these Muslim Reform groups would have a chance to rise to the fore. That could be revolutionary! Imagine they could gain the upper hand, and become the go to for the media on all things Islam. We would finally be getting truth. I may be completely wrong, be I don’t think Robert gives them much support. I think Robert’s point of view is that you can’t reform Islam. While I would agree with that, what matters is that these people believe they can reform Islam, not what we think. And while they are struggling with that, at least they are promoting real democratic values and calling out Islam as it exists today and has existed for the past 1400 years.
Nomomoros says
Saying “Muslims are the new Jews” is one of the most anti-semitic things I’ve ever heard. It’s equating Jews to terrorists. More like “Muslims are the new (actually original) KKK.”
mortimer says
MUSLIMS MUST SHOW THEIR SUPERIORITY TO KAFIRS
(The following is an excerpt from a sermon a mullah delivered in London a few years back…it explains the prejudicial hatred Muslims should have towards kafirs…as you will read, this is taught by a mullah and so it isn’t ‘hate, lies, and distortions’…this is real Islam…this is what is taught from the pulpit)
Sermon delivered in London around 2010:
“honor. So, [al-Ishlal] is dishonor. So, never give your food to any kaffir. I never give my food to any kaffir. That’s right…Rasulullah said, “Do not let anybody enter your home but a Muslim. Do not let anybody into your home but a Muslim or eat from your food but a Muslim unless you invite him [a kaffir] to your house for Da’wah”…So, unless he’s coming to your house for Da’wah, different story, but for him to come to your house [for any reason other than Da’wah]…this is complete rubbish. The Sahabah, they said, “What if, what if this person, he comes to work for you?”…He [Rasulullah] said, “If he comes to work for you, treat him like your slave.” This was Rasulullah. He said, “Treat him like your slave”…And the Muslim is superior, and the kaffir, he’s always inferior. You always look up high, and you always look down at him like this. You see? So, dishonor…[Y]ou have to give up the kaffir…you have to give up his ideology. Meaning, and what do I mean by “give up”?…So, you give up the kaffir. I never protect the kaffir…Not only that, but you give up the ideology as well. So that hatred, as we mentioned, al-Bara’a, is manifested not just within the heart but within the actions as well…I can’t be somebody who says he has hatred towards the kuffar, I don’t ally with them, I don’t honor them, I don’t support them, but I celebrate Christmas. What kind of rubbish is that?…So I never engage with any of their ritual acts. So I never integrate with them…But that does not mean I isolate myself, I never isolate myself…So, we don’t integrate. Neither do we isolate ourselves, but what we do is interact…to invite them to Islam, by, declare by Bara’a. So, there’s no contradiction between the two…I hate them [kuffar] for their belief…And sometimes, just by your actions, that is a form of Da’wah as well, the person could become inclined toward Islam…[T]o humiliate the kaffir. What do you mean, humiliate the kaffir? Like I said, you never look up to him, you always look down to him, you look down to him like that…Of course, you need to understand that…But for the kaffir, what does he worship? Monkey, cow, something like that. So, he looks up to the monkey. He worships something less than him, so, therefore, we look down on him like this…Islam is superior, and it could never be surpassed, because at-Tawhid, it will always elevate you. Yeah. And this is why al-Farouk, he said…“Allah, he dignified us with Islam.” So, you always walk with your head up high…[al-Farouk said] “[T]he kufr, it will humiliate anybody.” If he looks at the kaffir now, ask him, tell me about your ancestors. He said, “My ancestors, we came from monkey”…We don’t call that elevation, we call that “delevation.”

This Jacob will be the first in line to either convert or face the sword my guess is that he will convert and then blame Robert, Pamala , Trump and Cruze
Michael Harris says
Bender is a NY Times Jew, embarrassed to be Jewish. He overlooks all of the very real problems with Islam and its oppression of all others including the left’s favorites woman and gays. He overlooks the caliphate goal, the way minorities are treated in Muslim countries etc. Why? Because he would be forced to retreat from the false Muslims are the new Jews.
Hayseed says
Ha Ha, it seems that they are trying to make Trump look anti-moslem.
He would negotiate with the Palestinian terrorists.
What about his sukkuk financed deals in the Arabian penninsula?
Carolyne says
I sincerely hope CAIR doesn’t save us from Trump, because Trump will save us from Islam.

CAIR needs to be disbanded…..as I write to REPUBLICAN Senators and Congressmen about the BURNS, OREGON ATROCITY (and in Favor of the Bundy’s, Hammonds, and Finicum family) I will also add my voice to WHY this organization which is NONPROFIT, is allowed to get away with breaking the RULES OF NONPROFITS!!!! They need to be stripped of their status – wake up shake up you fools who work for IRS…..CAIR affiliates – in most of our States need to be CLOSED DOWN….they are the “creeping sharia” plant that needs to be pulled out by its roots.
Atheist kafir says
Taquya,, all of it! He is talking against the wind of evidence. The problem is the claim that Islam makes for itself without out any evidence. It’s the last word of God. Unchangable un mutable. The whole religion is so contrived for supremacy. The example of mad mo is of a war lord of the worst kind. Mad mo had his morals questioned by his followers. The most important war is the war of ideas and the war in the courts and legislatures. If all the American people who love freedom of speech, freedom of critical thought, freedom of religion and freedom from religion do their part then jihadis will be quickly exposed. The war that Islam has declared on Israel and on the west must be recognized. That puts the responsibility back on the Muslims to do something other than victimizing themselves and continue with their deception, taquya and the obvious lies that contradict the evidence. If the war is declared in religious terms than it becomes a religious war. Bin laden stated that this was primarily a religious war. How do you fight a religious war? Make it into a political war. Define Political Islam, its objectives goals etc. Most importantly those who promote it around the world.
