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

Israelis shut down Palestinian Islamic Jihad TV station that was encouraging “Palestinians” to attack Israelis

Mar 12, 2016 5:15 pm By Robert Spencer

Incitement to violence is not free speech and should not be protected. Now Islamic supremacists and Leftists are trying to extend that simple principle to include “hate speech,” which is a designation arrived at by means of a subjective evaluation, as opposed to incitement to violence, which is obvious. “Hate speech” laws are a tool for oppression and tyranny in the hands of those upon whom they confer the power to determine what is “hate speech” and what isn’t.

“Israelis shut Palestinian Islamic Jihad station,” Associated Press, March 11, 2016:

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli forces on Friday raided a TV station run by the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad in the West Bank as part of a crackdown to curb months of violence that Israel says has been fueled by incitement in the Palestinian media.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the head of the Falestine al-Youm — or “Palestine Today” — was detained in the raid in Ramallah early Friday morning. She said Farouq Elayan, 34, had been incarcerated in the past for activities in the Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad group. The outlet, which also publishes material on social media sites, encouraged Palestinians to attack Israelis, she said.

In a statement, Falestine al-Youm said two other two staff members had also been arrested and that their equipment was confiscated. Islamic Jihad has carried out suicide bombings and shootings in the past.

Samri said shutting the station was part of efforts to stop incitement to violence. The raid came as Israel struggles to contain near-daily Palestinian assaults on civilians and security forces that have killed 28 Israelis and two Americans since September.

    JUST REMEMBER ONE FACT TO EXPLAIN “PALESTINIAN” BEHAVIOR —- MUHAMMAD HATED JEWS AND DID HIS BEST TO EXTERMINATE THEM.

    NOW, ABOUT 14 CENTURIES LATER, FAITHFUL & HIGHLY MOTIVATED MUSLIMS ARE CONTINUING HIS LEGACY — FOR BLOODTHIRSTY ALLAH.

      Mohamed was killing more than 800 Jews n innocents.

      He was demons possessed.

      He was killed with poison by his wife Aisha and Allah wanted to him. Bcos he was a false prophet that mentioned in the Coran.

      .

        Mohamed was illiterate n Allah chose him to be his messenger only.

        Mohamed told his followers to copy many the bible verses during his times.

    To Mickey Oberman- Hitler, Stalin and their followers were not followers of Jesus Christ, “the Only Begotten Son”. So “what you talkin’ ’bout Willis?” In my opinion, all Jews have a right to be angry for the acts of sadistic, brutal madmen from both of these barbaric savages, but Jews have no right to be angry at Jesus Christ since he didn’t advocate violence toward anyone.

    • mortimer says

      Mar 12, 2016 at 8:28 pm

      I concur with Mickey, that this is not the place for evangelistic efforts, but for a different reason: because they are rudely off-topic. There are other forums that discuss evangelism of Muslims. This is not it.

        That is disgusting of you to support such a vicious attack on Christianity whether or not it is off topic is not the point here.
        But you are well aware of that.

        Mickey Oberman has to make a point of claiming to be Jewish.
        He is a hateful bigot against Christianity or a carpet kisser trying to stir up division, in any case

      I concur with Linde that Nazism was not Christian, however Nazism actively manipulated German Christians, while at the same time, Hitler’s eventual goal was the eradication of the churches. While thousands of Christian clergy died in the death camps, many church leaders collaborated with Hitler out of cowardice. There was no opposition to Hitler.

      The Jewish Virtual Library claims that of 6 million Poles murdered in the Holocaust, 3 million were Polish Christians. A total of 5 million European Christians perished in the death camps.

      We are not here at JW to discuss these important EXTRANEOUS topics, and we should try to avoid them, imho, in future.

      The topic here is the Palestinian solicitation of murder of Israelis. C’mon people.

        Mar 13, 2016 at 9:22 pm

        @mortimer “many church leaders collaborated with Hitler out of cowardice. There was no opposition to Hitler.”

        What do you think about this spin on your observation: “many bishops dialogued with Islam out of ignorance. There was no opposition to Islam” ?

        Mar 15, 2016 at 5:03 pm

        To mortimer- was busy since I last wrote my comment on this article on March 12 at 7:37 pm. You know I respect you, Jay Boo, Champ and a host of other commenters here at JW. I have never, to my recall, tried to “foist” my faith on anyone. But I defend my faith and call people out when they make non-sensical remarks about Christianity, as Micky Oberman did. In my opinion, it is better for those individuals to state that they hate Christ and Christianity rather than blame the doctrines of Christianity on the evils of this world. Individuals are the ones who interpret or misinterpret scripture.

    Mar 12, 2016 at 7:58 pm

    Was it not the followers of “THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON” who eradicated six million Jews?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Without question, that is the most egregious and ignorant comment I’ve read on JW, and I’ve read a lot of them over the years. And such profound ignorance is hard to come by, but you certainly have achieved it here.

    FYI, Hitler was NOT a Christian, so you are in desperate need of an education and stat!

    So run, don’t walk, to your nearest book store and buy, “Hitler’s Table Talk”. This is an important first step in your much needed discovery of the truth about Hitler.

    In the meantime, watch this short and enlightening excerpt from Dinesh D’Souza, and *listen* to what he has to say about Hitler …

      Champ, I remind you that the topic is the daily attacks on Israeli civilians caused by hate speech coming from Muslim clerics.

      • Champ says

        Mar 12, 2016 at 8:49 pm

        Your silly *reminder* is positively ridiculous, and so are you.

        And in the interest of free speech, I am going to ignore it. This is Robert Spencer’s platform–not yours, and Robert supports free speech. Robert will even allow the egregious remark by “mickey” to stand and so do I, and that’s that. I do not agree with “mickey”, but I support his right to expressing his wrongheaded opinions HERE.

        Who died and made you hall monitor, anyway? Thanks for the laugh!

        Finally, let this be the LAST time you remind me of such nonsense.

        In spite of your silliness, I hope you have a nice day. Take care.

        mortimer,

        Furthermore, you really have your work cut out for you, since you have sooo many other people whom need your silly *reminder* issued to them, too.

        C’mon get crackin’!

        Champ,
        Just yesterday Daniel Triplett said

        “Sharia can’t be removed from a Muslim anymore than stink can be removed from a turd.”

        Pretty harmless right?
        ————————

        to which (ever soft on Muzzies) mortimer rebuked him in reply with

        Mortimer said
        “Daniel, There is no need for such gratuitous insult to persons. Merely mentioning Islam’s cruelty is condemnation enough. Muslims are held fast in their lobster trap. Only a very determined, ingenious Muslim can ever find a way out of it alive. So Daniel, please purify your heart. Being a Muslim and leaving Islam is frightening and traumatic. Many truly want to leave. ….”

      • Champ says

        Mar 12, 2016 at 9:43 pm

        Jay Boo, thank you for posting that, as I missed this rebuke from mortimer. Wow, says a lot! …and not in a good way. Very telling. He’s been soft on muslims for a very long time, and yet at times he’s HARD on counter-jihad. It’s so backwards: mortimer engages in friendly-fire and coddles the enemy.

        Friendly-fire, like the rebuke mortimer issued to Daniel Triplett, hurts morale. Oh, but lets not hurt the tender feelings of those whom CHOOSE to remain muslim. Bottom line: they are making a choice to remain in this cult. Sure, there are muslims that want out, but how could mortimer POSSIBLY know what percentage, etc. The facts on the ground prove otherwise.

        Free speech is helped by courtesy, logic, and pertinence of the comments and harmed by rudeness, fallacious comparisons, and meanderings from the subject under discussion.

        If you do not exhibit any of those positive traits, it is right to correct you. If you have good sense, you will take the suggestions without pique and without vengefulness.

        Political Islam is a difficult, controversial topic. Courtesy is the essence of a civilized, adult discussion. It appears some on this forum are incapable of courtesy.

      • Champ says

        Mar 12, 2016 at 10:13 pm

        Interesting that mortimer seems to consider himself the only adult in the room. And maybe he is. But even more interesting, and rather astonishing, is that mortimer would attempt to limit free speech and attempt to micromanage what people write.

        mortimer, since you seem to think that you’re the picture of …”courtesy, logic, and pertinence”, then why not simply be the example of said things, and maybe others will follow by your example. Or maybe they won’t. Correcting everyone on what, and how, they contribute, is not only annoying to the recipient, but must be exhausting for you, as well. As they say, you can only *control* yourself …

        Mar 12, 2016 at 10:25 pm

        Mort has misplaced priorities.

        It was not very courteous of mort to ignore the all the caps attack on Christianity in order to sneak in a punch about commenting off topic as if passively-aggressively condoning such rude hatful behavior.

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        I wholly agree with you, Jay Boo. It’s shameful. And I must conclude that mortimer has a hidden hatred for Christians, as well. Although not so hidden, anymore. Of course he can’t come out and state this, like “mickey” did, but mortimer so much as did by siding with “mickey”, etc.

      True, Graven.

      Hitler made countless insulting remarks about Christianity …

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Preaching? Not true!

    Sharing a Christian view, as Myrtle did in her above comment, is not “preaching”, and it’s completely acceptable and fits within the parameters of *free speech* from Myrtle’s point of view. And need I remind, mortimer–again, that free speech is something that Robert Spencer supports.

    No one is making “mickey” read comments he considers “preaching” or, in his view, comments where someone might “feel superior”. These are things that “mickey” supposes, and not at all what Myrtle actually intended or stated.

    Haters, like “mickey”, gotta hate. And shame on mortimer for siding with someone, like “mickey”, who’s obviously so hateful toward Christians!

    Hate speech laws were invented by socialists as a way to silence opposition speech. Based on evaluation of the motives behind hate speech, the possibilities for stifling opposition speech are endless, and worse there is no way to defend oneself from such a charge.

    Hillary, our next president, has signed onto the OIC UN resolution to make it a felony crime in member countries to criticize a religion, any religion. Look for her to make a move on this upon taking the Oval Office. Note that no Republican candidate has ever mentioned this fact, nor will one ever mention it.

    Hate speech laws are against the law, but we’re not a nation of laws anymore. When Hillary signed the OIC resolution, she didn’t rush down to Washington to demand a constitutional amendment to change the First Amendment. That’s no longer how laws and rights are handled, now it’s a function of what can be sold on TV, and hey everybody hates haters.

    It’s encouraging to read that Israel is beginning to fight back. Shutting down a station and arresting the terrorist inciters is good but Israel needs to introduce the death penalty and hang these animals. Anybody who has a problem with this, let me respond to you in advance – stick it in your ear.

    Another example of the religion of peace. Is this the same group that aired the little girl, with the butcher’s knife sing stab, stab stab ?
    All parties involved here must forget the past, and cease all the religious hard line manure. This is insanity.
    If the religious hard liners in the holy lands , All groups and denominations , We’re put in an isolated , Walled off area, To kill each other in peace, The rest of the population would cut a deal, And prosper. They could make a fortune off tourists to the holy land sites.
