Jihad terror? What’s that, you Islamophobe? My latest in FrontPage:
The hard-Left online organ Salon has discovered the secret of Donald Trump’s success: “Islamophobia.” Citing the American National Election Studies 2016 pilot survey, Salon solemnly intones that “Trump supporters are far more likely to express Islamophobic attitudes than other respondents, even other Republicans.” A “stunning 60 percent of Trump supporters” expressed the “Islamophobic” idea that “the word ‘violent’ describes Muslims ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ well.” Salon cannot fathom how anyone could possibly have gotten the idea that Muslims are violent (even including “a bit more than a quarter of Democrats”), and neither can the dominant voices in the Democratic Party. This blind spot regarding jihad terror is nothing less than Democratic Party policy.
Salon demonstrates its myopia about the problem of jihad terror when it notes that “for comparison, only 7 percent of Trump supporters said that the word ‘violent’ describes white people extremely or very well.” “White people”? What about Islamic jihad terrorists who are “white people,” such as al-Qaeda’s late sometime spokesman Adam Gadahn, the Boston Marathon jihad bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, would-be Wichita airport jihad bomber Terry Lee Loewen, and so many others? Salon doesn’t consider them: for the Left, and for the Democratic Party in particular, concern about jihad terror is just another form of racism, and that’s that. White Muslim jihad terrorists simply don’t exist.
They don’t exist for Bernie Sanders, either. Last October, a Muslim student, Remaz Abdelgader, referred to Ben Carson’s statements about not wanting a Muslim President and said to Sanders: “Being an American is such a strong part of my identity, but I want to create a change in this society. I’m so tired of listening to this rhetoric saying I can’t be president one day, that I should not be in office. It makes me so angry and upset. This is my country.” Sanders replied: “If we stand for anything we have to stand together and end all forms of racism in this country. I will lead that effort as president.”
What race is Islam again? What race is Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims, gays again? That was what the controversy over Carson’s remarks was really about: he raised a legitimate question about the compatibility of Sharia and the U.S. Constitution. Sharia denies the freedom of speech and the equality of rights of women and non-Muslims before the law, and contravenes the Constitution in other ways as well. In 1960, John Kennedy was subjected to baseless prejudice as a Roman Catholic, and today Sanders and others consigns concerns about a Muslim President to an analogous baseless prejudice. But Kennedy actually addressed concerns, and assured Americans that he would obey and enforce the Constitution and no other law. Nowadays, asking a hypothetical Muslim candidate if he would obey and enforce the Constitution and not Sharia, as far as the leading lights in the Democratic Party are concerned, is “racism.”
So what would happen if a Sharia-compliant Muslim candidate did become President, and began working against the freedoms that the Constitution allows but Sharia does not? Would all those who voted for him simply congratulate themselves on their resistance to “racism” as their freedoms were eroded away?
The likely nominee is no better. Last November, Hillary Clinton tweeted: “Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” How will President Hillary Clinton have the slightest chance of defeating the Islamic State when she is so divorced from reality as to say something like this? Obviously an uncomfortable number of Muslims do in fact have something to do with terrorism, and the fact that many do not says nothing whatsoever about whether or not Islam contains teachings and exhortations that make all too many Muslims believe that it is actually our adversary.
Both Sanders and Clinton were just playing to the Democratic Party base – the base that is sure that “white people” are just as violent or even more violent than Muslims, and that concern about jihad terror is “racism.” The aptly-named Party of Treason’s refusal to acknowledge the seriousness of the challenge of jihad terror only ensures that, whoever becomes President on January 20, 2017, there will be in the U.S. in the coming years much, much more jihad terror.

Right Wing Conspiracy theory?
All this criticism of poor old Hillary is nothing but another vast right wing conspiracy to discredit her many sick lies with a healthy dose of truth.
Mark Swan says
A Pew Research Center survey conducted in 2014 asked Americans to rate members of eight religious groups on a “feeling thermometer” from 0 to 100, where 0 reflects the coldest, most negative possible rating and 100 the warmest, most positive rating.
Overall, Americans rated Muslims rather coolly – an average of 30. Americans view the six other religious groups mentioned in the survey (Jews, Catholics, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and Mormons) more warmly an average of 70.
Republicans and those who lean toward the Republican Party gave Muslims an average rating of 23, considerably cooler than Democrats’ rating toward Muslims (37). Republicans also are more likely than Democrats to say they are very concerned about the rise of Islamic extremism in the world and to say that Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence among its believers.
It Seems the Democrats Feel They Already have the Muslim Vote but know of this concern among our
general population and Try to assure Their Other potential voters that their fear of Muslims is unjustified.
John Swallow says
To actually know them naturally leads to fearing them.

The paedophile-apologists. ‘Nuff said.
mortimer says
Many non-whites will fall for the Dems’ trick…a bunch of privileged, old white Democrats calling for stern actions against privileged, old white people!
The hatred of white people is what the Democrats are playing on. Do they hate themselves?
The attitude is genocidal. Anyone who isn’t a Democrat should apparently be arrested.
Polk1970 says
Today’s Democratic Party is THE Party of TREASON.
Bernie Sanders’ supporters are PROUD TRAITORS and Hillary Clinton supporters are those who are getting rich on the Democrats’ TREASON and SEDITION.
Polk1970 says
And then ,in their own league are of course Huma “Muslim Brotherhood” Abedin,, Sidney Blumenthal, the Devil’s Spawn and his Demon son,Max
Dennis says
They were applauding Hillary at AIPAC today. Do they get amnesia with all of the money she’s received from Muslims and her contacts with Arafat and do they not know about the Blumenthal’s hate of their own?
I don’t get it.
Jerry says
It’s not about “race,” it’s about confronting a faith that promotes violence and discord as divine revelation, an ideology that has proven itself to be as powerfully destructive and evil as the worst fascism the world has ever seen. Everything about that political faith and culture spells disaster for our nation’s peace and freedoms. Jihad is the fundamental basis for the islamic faith and muslims’ collective will. The evidence for my claim is in their terrorism, heterogeneous enclaves, threatening protests and expressed hatred of us, rape of our women and children, and every manner of societal subversion they can muster…all ugly manifestations of their faith’s jihad intentions. It’s not just politics to them, it’s politics as divine ordination. And this is what’s inspiring muslims to commit mass-murder and all kinds of evil. The strength of their convictions is not a “hijack” of islam, it comes from the heart and soul of the islamic faith and culture.
I would feel greatly encouraged if we had a new leader who understood the threat as I just explained it. (TRUMP?) and who also possessed the courage to act to prevent its growth in our nation. It’s not just the terrorists who threaten us, even though our government would have us believe that. They are only the ugliest part of the larger problem that is islam. The roots of the problem are deeply embedded in the islamic mindset of religious supremacy at the expense of western human rights and democracy, that’s a fact–not opinion. I think it’s time we rise up off our knees as a nation and confront the islamic challenge like brave adults, honestly and without apology. It’s not a “peaceful religion” and we aren’t stupid children. Time to act accordingly.
Thanks for listening and have a glorious day! (muslim terrorists excepted)
Jay Boo says
I totally agree with a slight exception
“The strength of their convictions is not a “hijack” of islam, it comes from the heart and soul of the islamic faith and culture. ”
—————————————————
The Islamic faith and culture feeds off of (vanity and intimidation) not faith.
A Muslim stranded alone on an Island with no hope of escape will not pray with-out neighbors to intimidate and to bear witness of the display. Islam is about earning praise.
Jerry says
Respectfully, you misconstrued my literal wording. I’m not saying their actions are based on some kind of godly “faith,” I’m only using ” islamic faith” in reference to the religious side of islam. I wouldn’t disparage the better meaning of “faith” as it pertains to other well-meaning religions by suggesting that when muslims murdered and enslaved for their religion that it was a genuine act of “faith.” No, it’s simply slavery and murder without moral justification. I think my meaning was stated without ambiguity and not liable to misinterpretation. Still, I appreciate your interest in my half-penny post. And you made a good point, maybe I should avoid “faith” and refer to it as their “religion” instead. Something to consider.
Jay Boo says
I see your point Jerry.
I often call Islam a religion and capitalize Islam as a matter of convenience and readability but do not mean it in a literal sense.
Jerry says
Jay Boo, this is where you and I differ from so many faithful muslims. We debated an islamic point and I did not feel the slightest urge to kill you. Arrogant me, I actually feel a little superior for that. lol
Lynne says
Well said Jerry. You have very eloquently stated the issue.
Atheist kaffur says
Of course Hillary has a soft spot for iSLAM. Her foundation receives lots of money from Saudi Arabia.I would have a soft spot as well. I would have a hard spot too in my pocket. 25 million worth
underbed cat says
That must be the reason for all this denial in the massive accumulation of facts about islamic jihad terror, and the denial of those facts. The soft spot for charitable giving cash for silence……about sharia, deception about what is clearly stated in the Quran and Reliance of the Traveler. Since it has been going on so long, the migration, diversity hiring,done go jihadi support organization, mosques, misdirection and now true massive threat.
So much for elite education….done good ?
JeffS says
My entire “liberal” family has a soft spot for Islam without receiving a cent from anybody. Go figure.
underbed cat says
No sense…..I guess.
underbed cat says
No sense…..I guess. Soft spot, as in sympathy as far as having to live under sharia law, or daily say prayers to conquer infidels….with a serene gaze…sure I can have sympathy until they act….then none.
heidi says
I have the same problem–just too much propaganda from liberal leaders wanting to appeal to sloppy sentiments so they can continue the mass muslim “refugee” flow because refugee status gives fast track to citizenship and studies show they overwhelmingly vote democrat. the left try throw their supposed support of women and gays under the bus to bring in more democrat voters, even ones that want to subjugate woman and kill gays. I try to convince my family all the time they are voting party over people, hard to know if it’ll ever sink in. anyone have any advice?
Will Doohan says
Atheist K , we should also find out how many petrodollars the Republicans are accepting. (I’m not a Democrat)

It is bi partisan influence. Closing the eyes to islamic terror. Money talks bullsh walks. Or they go to the islands;

Sharia law is their constitutional law – all encompassing. When they have the numbers they will insist on it – we almost had Sharia Law in Ontario, Canada.
Richard Paulsen says
There are thus two choices.
1. If you let in there will be more jihad violence in your neighborhood.
2. If you don’t they will be furious and there will be more jihad attacks abroad.
I’d choose option 2.
duh_swa,i says
When Hillary makes a speach and says something protective of Islam or Mahoundians,, the ”Jutter Bug Dance Troupe’ behind her jump up and down and cheer…It’s like a collective thrill ran up their legs and gave them spasms…
Disgusting…
Mark Swan says
Jutter Bug Dance Troupe…Good One…Made Me Laugh
Mockingjay says
“Jihad terror? What’s that, you racist?”
Mockingjay says
and btw –
EVEN if EVERY single muslim on the planet was indeed dark-skinned or “non-white” – then being concerned about the IDEOLOGY of islam and jihad STILL wouldn’t be racism.
But try explaining that to the racistophobes.
Jerry says
Islamophobia is the irrational fear by non-Muslims that after fourteen centuries of unceasing Islamic Jihadist terror by Muslims again all non-Muslims Muslims will continue with their genocidal agenda against all non-Muslims.
Michael C says
It is not irrational ( a phobia) to fear something that is real (people that want to kill you)

JimMcCormack says
Muslims have slain 590 MILLION non-Muslims in the last 1400 years, over 10,000 since 9-11. As usual, the left is in full denial to the threat because that takes courage and the will to fight , neither of which they have. To fit their cowardice , they rationalize
to avoid a confrontation. They’d rather surrender than to fight. America has been pussified by Liberals .
Alice says
I despise the plutocrat Donald Trump but I think his popularity stems from a general frustration from our concerns being dismissed. Not only are our concerns regarding islam widely ignored, we are labeled racist, islamophobe or some other derogatory term just for trying to express them!
Kasey says
Islamophobia is a major part of the big lie by Islam. It’s Islamoreality that matters and all the free World need to take not of that and ignore the big lie and say so!
Once all Muslims also realize Islam is just one big LIE, they may change for the better.
Lanya LaPunta says
I am simply tired, bone tired, of islamophiliacs referring to anyone that disagrees with them as islamaphobes.
Patriotliz says
It is impossible to separate Islamic terrorists from the “religion” of Islam. It’s like separating Hitlerian Nazism from Jewish concentration camps of WWII or separating hatred and lynchings of Blacks from the ideology of the KKK. I’m sorry folks, but we ARE at WAR with the teachings and commandments of ISLAM as outlined in the Quran and exemplified by the pedophile prophet–warmongering, abuse of women, chopping off of head, jihad. The only difference between a benign Westernized Muslim who appreciates democracy and a malignant/radical Muslim is that the former is a heretic or apostate. There are NO DEVOUT MUSLIMS who are faithful to their “religion” who can assimilate into Western society. Tolerance of ALL religions makes no sense if that includes an evil religion.
