Over at FrontPage I discuss the latest canard from Hamas-linked CAIR:
Jacob Bender, the non-Muslim Useful Idiot who heads up Hamas-linked CAIR’s Philadelphia chapter, boasted Wednesday on the organization’s website: “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, having just completed a new book and busy traveling to speak 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.
The late 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.
Jacob Bender, who is himself Jewish, ought to pause before making such a reckless and baseless comparison – especially in light of the fact that the new Jews are not the Muslims at all, but are none other than the old Jews: anti-Semitic hate crimes remain much more common in the U.S. than “Islamophobic” hate crimes, and Jews all over Europe face an increasingly dangerous and precarious situation because of the anti-Semitism of the rapidly increasing Muslim population. CAIR’s Hamas ties don’t seem to trouble him either. In his complacency and willful ignorance, as well as his active work for CAIR, Bender could be the poster child for our blinkered age.

No, Jews are the new Jews. Muslims are the new Nazis.
Jerry says
So poignant. So true.
No matter how many false arguments these muslims sling I will never feel guilty for my views on islam. I know evil when I see it. Child rape in marriage is not from god, nor is religious murder, nor misogyny, nor bigotry or hate. But the islamic faith is built on these evils. And 10’s of thousands of muslims are living out that creed, robbing the world of its peace and crushing human rights in the process. If we don’t dare to speak out now then we lose twice: First we lose our integrity as good people, and then we lose our heads to islam. That doesn’t appeal to me at all.

Islam is like the Emperor’s new clothes. No matter how many important scholars and politicians describe “the beauty of it”, we know the naked truth.

Nimrod says
As far as leftists are concerned, Muslims are the new Jews because this determination is made based on political utility and not any sort of logic.
Because this is based on neo-Marxist philosophy, that means that in any Muslim vs Jew conflict the Jews are placed in the “enemy class” category. In other words, the current socialist philosophy now resembles National Socialism (Nazism), especially in the case of Israel where the jihad there is being treated like a Marxist “class struggle”. (Further reinforced by the fact that jihad translates to struggle.) it is stated in the communist manifesto that all conflicts are class struggle so it’s really just the Marxist philosophy being applied yet again.
I would argue that the real threat in the west is (neo-)Marxist philosophy because this is providing the vulnerability for Islam to exploit. Without this philosophy, Islam would just be seen for what it is and nobody would be in such denial about it.
Unfortunately because this simple minded philosophy exists, Islam is able to push it toward Nazism the same way Hitler did when he convinced other types of socialists to join the National Socialist German Workers Party.
dajjal says
NAZIS were the new Muslims.
Al-Huseini’s alliance with Hitler, Surah Al-A’raf 7.167 and Sahih Bukhari 4.52.177 should have been raised in this excellent post.
BC says
Exactly. the claim is so ridiculous one can only assume he is trying to trick people, or on the other hand that he is just competely ignorant.
The Jews were robbed of their possessions, sacked from their jobs and businessess, humiliated in every way possible and finally murdered en mass. Where is that kind of treatment being meted out to Muslims in the West?. They are cosseted and favoured and their every ridiculous demand is nearly always granted, often against the wishes of the native population. Including the building of ever larger mosques. They are given positions of authority and threaten Western values and civilisation claiming superiority for their religion. What Jews ever did that to the societies in which they lived. What jews including those in Europe have ever been a threat to Western civisation?
Muslims are proven Nazis as they are the ones preaching the destruction of the Jews, whilst claiming victim hood for themselves

I see it differently. I see God in history not just man. The Jews crucified the Son of God and for well nigh 1900 years thry suffered degradation, abaasement and humility.
This is how I view what has, is and will continue to happen to Islam…..
“Islám, at once the progenitor and persecutor of the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh, is, if we read aright the signs of the times, only beginning to sustain the impact of this invincible and triumphant Faith. We need only recall the nineteen hundred years of abject misery and dispersion which they, who only for the short space of three years persecuted the Son of God, have had to endure, and are still enduring.
We may well ask ourselves, with mingled feelings of dread and awe, how severe must be the tribulations of those who, during no less than fifty years, have, “at every moment tormented with a fresh torment” Him Who is the Father, and who have, in addition, made His Herald—Himself a Manifestation of God—to quaff, in such tragic circumstances, the cup of martyrdom.”

so-called World Citizen: You are a citizen of plan 9 from outer space. I request that you stop reading those pamphlets they print in Haifa and start reading REAL BOOKS.
Just because a bearded guy sat in a small room in a dusty eastern town in 1870 and dreamed a lot of stuff, doesn’t make it true. FACTS do matter. FACTS are like the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, for instance.
Dreaming something up in an attic is not a FACT, but a ‘conjecture’. Most of the Bahai’i conjectures are disproved by the FACTS.
No one accepts the theological proposition that ‘Jews’ killed Jesus. History accepts that the Roman governor killed Jesus. And theology accepts that all ‘humanity’ killed Jesus.
You should jump in the lake. I deeply deplore and resent you coming here and insulting all Jews with this shallow anti-Semitism. Shame.
Throw out those pamphlets.

Mickey, as a Jew you should know that the Messiah will be born of a virgin!
The Old Testament — or Old Covenant — gives specific prophecies about the coming Messiah; specifically from the book of Isaiah: a Jewish prophet.
Please read the following from “Got Questions” …
Question: “Where does the Old Testament predict the coming of Jesus Christ?”
Answer: There are many Old Testament prophecies about Jesus Christ. Some interpreters place the number of Messianic prophecies in the hundreds. The following are those that are considered the clearest and most important.
Regarding Jesus’ birth—Isaiah 7:14: “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” Isaiah 9:6: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Micah 5:2: “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”
Concerning Jesus’ ministry and death—Zechariah 9:9: “Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Psalm 22:16-18: “Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.”
Likely the clearest prophecy about Jesus is the entire 53rd chapter of Isaiah. Isaiah 53:3-7 is especially unmistakable: “He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.”
The “seventy sevens” prophecy in Daniel chapter 9 predicted the precise date that Jesus, the Messiah, would be “cut off.” Isaiah 50:6 accurately describes the beating that Jesus endured. Zechariah 12:10 predicts the “piercing” of the Messiah, which occurred after Jesus died on the cross. Many more examples could be provided, but these will suffice. The Old Testament most definitely prophesies the coming of Jesus as the Messiah.

David the Bahai is talking ignorant rubbish.
Scratch a Bahai, find a mohammedan. Scratch a mohammedan, find a raving anti-Semite.
The Jews didn’tt crucify Christ, the Sanhedrin plotted with Caiphas the High Priest, in order to have Christ declared a heretic, and it was Pontious Pilate, the *Roman* governor, who carried out the sentence.
Go away and bore the pants off people on some other site. You’re an egregious fool.
worldcitizen1919 says
This is the truth and all else error.
“Consider the Dispensation of Jesus Christ. Behold, how all the learned men of that generation, though eagerly anticipating the coming of the Promised One, have nevertheless denied Him. Both Annas, the most learned among the divines of His day, and Caiaphas, the high priest, denounced Him and pronounced the sentence of His death. (Baha’u’llah)
As stated previously, the Muslims repeated this offense but against Two Manifestations of God so you will witness in coming years how their degradation and basement will exceed that of the Jews.
You sound exactly like the Muslim Bahai haters in Iran. I feel sorry for you if you come here and yet tell others to leave as if you don’t believe in freedom of thought or freedom of expression unless one agrees with you EXACTLY the way Muslims behave.
On the one hand you condemn Muslims but on the other you act exactly the same as thrm towards Baha’is.
BC says
There is doubt among scholars of religion that Jesus ever existed, at least in the form presented by the bible. There is also doubt that Jesus was crucified, many other religions have their examples of virgin births and crucifiction and it is very likely that the writers of the gospels took there stories from there
Carolyne says
I believe it was said that Phillip the Great had a virgin mother. Apparently to be considered to have been born to a virgin was some kind of great honor in the ancient world. Modern people know this isn’t biologically possible but cling to the belief.
Infidela says
This blog is not about Judaism or christianity but about Islam. But I will say that Jesus was arrested, tried, convicted, and crucified by the Romans. He must have done someting against Roman rule for them to crucify them.
Angry Aussie says
I can’t say I have ever overheard a serious discussion between Jews stating they want to kill and will kill Christians. I have heard it spewed from the mouths of two bearded inbreds while they held general conversation with one another in the shopping centre foodcourt. Jews don’t make me nervous. Muslims do. Muslim men in particular.
duh_swami says
Allah hates Jews…Old Jews, New Jews, Mahoundian Jews, or Jew Jews…it’s all the same to Allah…When he turned some of them into apes and pigs, did he ask if the Jew was an old Jew or a New Jew? He wrote all about his Jew hatred in his book…The Quran,,,You may have heard of it…
mortimer says
An ill-fitting analogy this. First of all, Jews and Muslims are different for a number of reasons, not least the fact that ‘Muslim’ does not denote a race or tribe, but adherence to an ideology. ‘Arab’ denotes a race, but not all Arabs are Muslims. All Jews are Jews.
A better analogy is to compare Germans with Muslims. A small number of Germans were Nazis, but they forced and threatened other Germans to go along with them…just as a small number of Muslims (15% or about one in six) are jihad supporters and threaten the 85% who are lax and careless about practicing Islam.
Germans and lax Muslims didn’t care much for world conquest, but the 15% of Nazis and Jihadist Muslims care a lot about world conquest.
Ordinary Germans were easily coerced into participating in genocide and fighting ‘others’ in the name of German Patriotism: ordinary Muslims are easily coerced into participating in atrocities against ‘others’ in the name of Ummah Nationalism. Muslims have had 1400 hundred years to show real Islam…it is jihad, duplicity, misogyny, prejudice, persecution, dictatorship. Most Muslims alive today are soft-core, theocratic Fascists.

Richard Paulsen says
Very strange those hating Jewish persons and Christians claiming they are oppressed by Jews and Christians. No logic.
Watching the BBC World Channel I felt very sorry for Christians escaping to the Philippine Islands from oppression in Pakistan. To me they seem to be the only real refugees.
Cannot feel the same for muslims. Who oppresses them? What reasons are there for them to escape claiming asylum in not muslim states?
Building thousands of mosques in the world not being islamic. Not allowing churches or other not muslim temples to be built in nations ruled by islam.
Why do they not escape to Tadzjikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan or to any other muslim country instead? Why do muslim countries not help their own?
Who oppresses muslims in countries with 90-100% muslims? What reasons to escape have they got? 90% men.
Certainly there is no flood of refugees from Europe or the U.S.A. or from any country of the not muslim world to countries ruled by islam.
Muslims are said to be poor: However they can afford to build and are being allowed to build their mosques in the not muslim world. Although they do not allow churches, or as far as I know, others to build their temples in the muslim world.
That is what is waiting in the not muslim world? Developed nations being changed into countries ruled the islamic way instead of developing countries developing into developed.
Strange that arabstates are members of the UN since they do rely only on the Cairo Declaration based on sharia law not respecting the UN charter. Not following international agreements just using the UN charter to spread islam worldwide.
Is that what parents and grandparents in the not muslim world want their children and grandchildren to inherit? Cannot imagine.
mortimer says
Why do Muslim countries not take ALL Muslim refugees? Do they not care about their own people?
Then why should we?
Richard Paulsen says
True.
mortimer says
Bill Maher’s analysis of the ill-fitting ‘New Jews’ analogy is superb.
Maher makes a number of points that I list as follows: Unlike Muslims, 1) Jews didn’t oppress or persecute anybody 2) there weren’t hundreds or thousands of Jewish militant groups 3) Jews were never at the bottom of a study of abuse of women 4) there weren’t 10 Jewish countries or even one Jewish country that executed Gays 4) Judaism had no leader calling for genocide of any group 5) Jews have created no political party remotely resembling Hitler’s National Socialists, but the Muslim Brotherhood was consciously modeled on Mussolini’s and Hitler’s fascism.
In addition, Arabs in Israel have more human rights and freedom than in any Arab country. Jews have no ideology of world conquest, but Muslims believe in jihad, the subjugation of the world. Muslims are the majority of some 60 countries, in most of which the indigenous peoples were ethnically cleansed, while there is a single Jewish homeland in Israel as authorized by the League of Nations and United Nations.
Richard Paulsen says
True.

Considering the fact that Islam claims to be descended from the same origins as Judaism – they ought to be grateful, instead of hating Jews (and everyone else for that matter).
In short:
No Judaism
No Christianity
No Islam

The New Jews ? ABSURD ! LOL ! If Only they were like the Jews ! What a blessing to the other nations they would be ? When the Jews came to America seeking ASYLUM : Did they Defecate and Urinate all over the Place ? Did they cold bloodedly murder those helping them ? Did they Rape women and Sodomize young boys in Swimming Pools ? NO!!! They Became Some of the most Productive People in the Countries they immigrated to!
This is Obviously true of some Muslims also !!! But the Muslim Invaders of today ,cannot be Compared to The Jewish Asylum Seekers of the Past Who were TRUE REFUGEES INDEED!!!
Nathanael Hoernlé says
For the sake of discussion I will point out that people like Mr. Bender are convinced that Muslim extremism does not characterize Islam as a whole, because the vast majority of Muslims do not engage in it.
They will tell you (and tell you and tell you) that identifying Islam with its extremists is like identifying Christianity with the Ku Klux Klan or the Lord’s Army of Joseph Kony.
They consider that identifying a religion with the worst behavior it occasions is a form of bigotry, which is likely to foment unfair treatment of perfectly innocent adherents to that religion.
But…?
dajjal says
The Unholy Koranus curses all Jews & Christians and condemns them to death or subjugation. It says we earned Allah’s wrath or went astray, distorted his word and killed the prophets. Where in the Bible do you find functional equivalents of the unlimited, open ended Jihad, genocide & terror imperatives in the Unholy Koranus???
Westman says
It appears that Muslims are reverting to the Muslims of old. There’s nothing “new” under the Islam sun.
Paul says
The only thing that Muhammadans have in common with Jews is that
many of them are also brutalised and very often lose their lives, thanks
to the murderous insane hateful and inhuman tenets of Muhammadanism
itself. This cult is the perfect recipe to destroy the whole of humanity.
steve says
Muslims are NOT the new Jews. The gulf between the Jewish and Islamic mentality might be indicated by the number of Nobel prizes awarded. Muslims are 20 percent of the world’s population.One billion two hundred million, they have received 7 Nobel awards, one of which was given to the terrorist Yasser Arafat for being, um, a ‘good’ terrorist. The Jews number 14 million, that is 0.02 per cent of the world population, they have received ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE that I am aware of to date. NO,emphatically, Muslims are the new Neanderthals, my apologies to the Neanderthals.
Fortunately, Italy for one ,does not recognise Islam as a religion. Why does any other country ???
