This story epitomizes how hysterical and thoughtless the public discourse is nowadays. Trump is presented by the late Bob Bennett and the Daily Beast as an “Islamophobe” — someone with an irrational hatred of or fear of Islam and Muslims. In reality, he hasn’t said anything about Islam at all except that clearly there is a “problem,” and there obviously is. He has called for a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration as an attempt to stop Islamic jihadis from entering the country. Did Bennett address that problem? Not from the looks of this story. Did Bennett propose an alternative method for keeping jihadis out of the country? No, and neither have any of the others who have likened Trump to Hitler for suggesting this. We are apparently just supposed to allow Muslims into the country without question, and accept that there will be jihad mass murder attacks in the U.S., because the alternative — appearing “racist,” even though Islam is not a race — is far worse. Death before political incorrectness.
“Dying GOP Senator Apologizes to Muslims for Donald Trump,” by Tim Mak, Daily Beast, May 18, 2016:
Bob Bennett spent his last days letting Muslims know how sorry he was that an Islamophobe had become his party’s all-but-certain nominee.
Former GOP senator Bob Bennett lay partially paralyzed in his bed on the fourth floor of the George Washington University Hospital. He was dying.
Not 48 hours had passed since a stroke had complicated his yearlong fight against pancreatic cancer. The cancer had begun to spread again, necessitating further chemotherapy. The stroke had dealt a further blow that threatened to finish him off.
Between the hectic helter-skelter of nurses, doctors, and well wishes from a long-cultivated community of friends and former aides, Bennett faced a quiet moment with his son Jim and his wife Joyce.
It was not a moment for self-pity.
Instead, with a slight slurring in his words, Bennett drew them close to express a dying wish: “Are there any Muslims in the hospital?” he asked.
“I’d love to go up to every single one of them to thank them for being in this country, and apologize to them on behalf of the Republican Party for Donald Trump,” Bennett told his wife and son, both of whom relayed this story to The Daily Beast.
The rise of Donald Trump had appalled the three-term Utah senator, a Republican who fell victim to the tea-party wave of the 2010 midterms. His vote for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, had alienated many conservative activists in his state, who chose lawyer Mike Lee as the GOP nominee for Senate instead.
But as Bennett reflected on his life and legacy in mid-April, following the stroke, he wasn’t focused on the race that ended his political career. Instead, he brought up the issue of Muslims in America—over and over again.
He mentioned it briefly in a hospital interview with the Deseret News, a Utah news outlet. “There’s a lot of Muslims here in this area. I’m glad they’re here,” the former senator told the newspaper in April, describing them as “wonderful.”
“In the last days of his life this was an issue that was pressing in his mind… disgust for Donald Trump’s xenophobia,” Jim Bennett said. “At the end of his life he was preoccupied with getting things done that he had felt was left undone.”
Trump’s proposal to ban Muslim immigrants from America had outraged the former senator, his wife Joyce said, triggering his instincts to do what he could on a personal level. They ultimately did not canvass the hospital, but Bennett had already made an effort in his last months of life.
As they traveled from Washington to Utah for Christmas break, Bennett approached a woman wearing a hijab in the airport.
“He would go to people with the hijab [on] and tell them he was glad they were in America, and they were welcome here,” his wife said. “He wanted to apologize on behalf of the Republican Party.”
“He was astonished and aghast that Donald Trump had the staying power that he had… He had absolutely no respect for Donald Trump, and I think got angry and frustrated when it became clear that the party wasn’t going to steer clear of Trumpism,” his son relayed.
Bennett’s Mormon faith also played into his beliefs on Trump and Muslims: the billionaire’s proposal to ban Muslims prompted the LDS Church to issue a statement in support of religious freedom, quoting its founder saying he would “die in defending the rights… of any denomination who may be unpopular and too weak to defend themselves.”
“That was something my father felt very keenly—recognizing the parallel between the Mormon experience and the Muslim experience. [He] wanted to see these people treated with kindness, and not ostracized,” Jim Bennett said….
He died Wednesday, May 4.

Told you so! They are ALL pro islam and anti-Christian! Something is decaying at the roots of Western societies!
Western Canadian says
And that something that is successfully attacking the roots of Western societies, had its origin in the soviet union. Everything that you come here (paid to come here) to whine and bitch and gloat over at the same time, the corrupt media, the destruction of educational standards, a deep red hollywood, political parties corrupted from within, etc. all have the soviet union as their source. And this is the same culture that produced unchristiancrap, so we all know just how seriously his rubbish should be taken.

Soviet Union is gone over two decades ago but what is killing Western societies at the moment is not Soviet Union but something else which is a like a religious-like political ideology known as (secular liberal democracy). Radical secular liberal democracy is like a new fascistic religion in the West and this is what will eventually destroy the Western world and hand it over to muslim fascists. All the diseases that are destroying the West today from moral relativism, materialism, individualism, political-correctness, destruction of Christianity and moral principals, LGBT sexual perversions and all kinds of social and political ills spring from this radical secular democratic liberalist ideology which is the new religion that is running the Western world today.

It is not Soviet Union but the Cultural Marxism which was originated from the so-called “Frankfurt School” and which has mostly hijacked and reinterpreted (liberal secular democracy) in the West is the real source of the problem of the present day social, political, cultural and religious decay in the West. It can still be reversed but it is may be too late as it now transformed into a new fascistic secular religion.

The “Frankfurt School” was originally to be called “Institute for Marxism” and was modelled after the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow (later renamed to “Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute”, “Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin Institute of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union” and “Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union”. Clearly nothing to do with marxism, leninism, communism or the Soviet Union, right?)
“and which has mostly hijacked and reinterpreted (liberal secular democracy) in the West”
In the same way islam was “hijacked” and “reinterpreted” by ISIS…

Nope. Secular liberal democracies would be fine if not poisoned and undermined by cultural marxism. Courtesy of the USSR.
“Radical secular liberal democracy is like a new fascistic religion in the West ”
Nonsense.

Again, nonsense.

No, they stem from marxism, courtesy of USSR.

You are right in that the “Frank School” which was originated and was based not in Russia but in Germany land later on moved to America was a subversive institution that was spreading “Cultural Marxism” and they won in their agenda which was to destroy Christianity in America and destroy the society. But America was already ripe for this cultural take over wasn’t it? And I do’nt see any hope that Clutural Marxism could be reversed in the West because it is like a new religion now. It is also amazing that Russia which lived under the communist system for over 70 years is now resisting Western Cultural Marxism that aims to destroy Russia too and is staunchly Christian!

It originated from, and was based on, Russia. That it was located in Germany won’t change that – you might as well be saying that islam originated in the United States because there are mosques in America.
“But America was already ripe for this cultural take over wasn’t it?”
Huh, the “Frankfurt school” was, like, almost 100 years ago. It only caught up recently.
“And I do’nt see any hope that Clutural Marxism could be reversed in the West”
Because you’re short-sighted. And Westernphobic.
“ It is also amazing that Russia which lived under the communist system for over 70 years is now resisting Western Cultural Marxism”
“Western Cultural Marxism”? No, no, no – as we’ve seen, Marxism came to the West courtesy of Russia. You might as well be saying that Buddhism is a Western religion ebcause some Westerners are Buddhists.
What you’re whining about is the chickens coming home to roost – Russia spent a great deal of time, money and effort to subvert Western societies and promote their ideologies (remember ’bout them Godless Commies? There was a reason for that moniker), and now that the current Russian leader is using religion as a means to exert power over the population, the Marxist Godlessness his forerunners went to great deals to spread all around the world is coming back to bite him in the ass and stay there.
jihad3tracker says
If you go to the Daily Beast item, there are links to the Mormon Church also being cluelessly foolish about Islam —- nonsense on solidarity with Muslims because of early LDS persecution.
And for decades I thought Mormons were smarter than the average American person of faith — well, that erroneous conclusion by naïve Me has been tossed out the window of my mud hut.
jihad3tracker says
BTW, before I get slugged with an avalanche of “Don’t you realize that Joseph Smith fundamentally differed on much of the most important elements of historical Christian texts and teachings????” —
yes, I am aware of that.
My emphasis was on demographically above-average factors regarding income, education, business participation. Yes, here we go with, perhaps, a hornet’s nest tossed in my direction, but I will bail out of this thread to do other things.

Christianblood says
You are right. As most of other groups in Western Christendom are those Mormons are foolish, suicidal and clueless! Something is working behind the scenes that is making people in the West they way they are and the worst thing is that people are not even aware that something is really deeply wrong. It is like someone dying of a very bad disease but refusing the medications and even refusing to hear the diagnosis of his deadly condition.

Westman says
Sen Bennett should not be blamed for his apparenty delusional soft view of Islam. He had no personal experience with fundamentalists and he was taught by his own Mormon Church that Muhammad was a prophet; raised up to impart some of God’s truths to a different language and culture.
Here is an excerpt from the Church’s website:
“Latter-day Saint appreciation of Muhammad’s role in history can also be found in the 1978 First Presidency statement regarding God’s love for all mankind. This declaration specifically mentions Muhammad as one of “the great religious leaders of the world” who received “a portion of God’s light” and affirms that “moral truths were given to [these leaders] by God to enlighten whole nations and to bring a higher level of understanding to individuals.”
There is more here: https://www.lds.org/ensign/2000/08/a-latter-day-saint-perspective-on-muhammad?lang=eng
So there you have it. The leadership of the LDS Church, in 1978, declared Muhammad to be a prophet who recieved truths from God for his people.
Sadly, Sen Bennett, nor the Mormon Church, has any idea had of how Muslims will regard Mormons and the church once they learn that the Mormon church is staunch Zionist.
LR says
Westman.
Thanks for your posting.
I know nothing of Bob Bennett, but I assume he most likely thought of Trumps statement, as a kind of singling out of one religion, which goes against our ‘Freedom of Religion’ clause.
Westman says
I think you’re right LR, Trump’s statements were the trigger. However Bennett’s ignorance of the darker side of Islam is due to the Mormon Church. When the Motmon leaders make a pronouncement about the virtue of something, that is the end of the discussion; even if such ignorance imperils the members.
When the LDS buildings get vandalized by Muslims in Europe, the Mormon leadership will be forced to reconsider in private yet will be unable to reverse what was already publicly pronounced for at least a generation. They claim to be led by a living prophet, which like the Catholic Church, leads to airs of infallibility.
Gregory Lee says
“foolish,” “suicidal,” and clueless”… you certainly are biased, ignorant, and hostile towards us Mormons. Bennett seems to have had a good heart; and a naive view of Islam (which is deadly to a Constitutional Republic). Maybe he will get a taste of Sharia in the spirit world.
k says
Does Bennett qualify for any virgins?
Westman says
I’ll have to agree that writing, “those Mormons are foolish, suicidal and clueless”, is quite inaccurate and demeaning. If he had added, “about the reality of Islam” then it would be more representative.
Mormons have been some of the most honest and friendly people I’ve known. If Muslims were Mormons there wouldn’t be any Jihad or this website.
Oliver says
The Mormons, like the Muslims, beleive in multiple wives. (Except outlawed in the US; not sure about elsewhere). And, Mormons, like Muslims, are not supposed to drink booze.
And, he served 18 years in the Senate-, and probably the last 6 back in DC-probably as a lobbyist–probably more at home in Washington then Utah. Probably suffering from the Potomac PC.
My view, no great loss.
But, he will probably vote for Shillery, After all, what difference does it make if he is dead or alive? (Probably brain dead for years before his 2010 defeat)
I agree-keep Muslism out.

Don McKellar says
I don’t think there could be anything more pathetic, misguided, and inane that a person from an advanced civilized country apologizing to moslems on his deathbed. Especially somebody apologizing for somebody else who has only stated that the general public and America’s lawmakers need to take an honest, clear-headed look into what’s wrong with this religion which has inspired thousands of documented deadly terrorist attacks since Sept 11th, and for 1300 years before. You, Bob Bennett, died a lowly ignorant maggot who shamed himself and those around him.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM says
Indeed, but the Missus and Bennett junior remain to carry on the family tradition.
Oliver says
But hopefully, NOT in The US Senate or House of Reps. (And, also not in the Utah legislature).
let them go preach Mormonism in Pakistan. There, they can see the virtues of islam and its openness to others with different views.
(And, hopefully, they will stay there-in Pakistan; or, if not, perhaps Algeria or Iraq)
Barbara says
Appears the senator pandered to the Moslems as he was more interested in visiting those virgins than eternal love and peace.

The highlight of Bennett’s political career was his defeat in 2010. Bill Kristol and his NeverTrumpers have lost their perfect candidate.
pdxnag says
At what point does a Muslim who objects to some evil feature of Islam have no choice but to declare their apostasy from Islam? For example, since all the schools of Islam agree that an apostate from Islam must be killed does this mean a Muslim who objects can only do so by becoming an apostate?
This proposition leads to the conclusion that Muslims who do not declare their apostasy must therefor favor or choose to support this evil feature of Islam, to support death for apostasy. (I say demand no less than apostasy, demand that they reject the evil features of Islam.)
PRCS says
The first step, the one so-called journalists and our “leaders” are working so hard to prevent, is to challenge Muslims in America with Islam’s actual texts.
Examples:
Where on the planet is Islam’s death penalty for apostasy morally acceptable to you?
Allah commands the amputation of a thief’s hand. Do you agree with that?
Allah said Muslim men are allowed to have sex with non-Muslim women captured in battle. What do you think about that?
Etc.
Angemon says
Probably because Trump talked about issues that the average joe is concerned with instead of dismissing it out of hand, like career politicians do.
Oliver says
Angemon, I agree. AND TRUMP was the first to raise a great many of the issues. (illegal immigrants; terroim; etc)
The others- both parties- ignored. And the elitists of both parties are ” shocked; simply shocked” that peopel care about issues.
Diane Harvey says
As with Ted Kennedy, and a long list of other Democrats, past and present, in Congress, I never wished them ill health or death. I just wished for their defeat in elections because the voters, finally becoming smarter, realized that leftists are quite harmful to the body politic.
For characters like Bennett, a so-called conservative Republican, we have particular resentment. He played us as fools. A traitor in our ranks.
M T Cicero’s comment applies to them all, “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
Janwaar Bibi says
Out of 56 Islamic countries, all but 2 or 3 have discriminatory laws against their own non-Muslim citizens, let alone immigrants.
In Pakistan, non-Muslims are banned by the constitution from becoming President or Prime Minister. All non-Muslims are officially classified as “dhimmis”. In the 70 years of Pakistan’s existence, not one non-Muslim has ever been elected to their Parliament in a general seat (a small number are appointed directly by the government to represent religious minorities).
In Saudi Arabia, the death benefit (diyya) for a Christian or Jewish man is 1/2 that for a Muslim man. For a Hindu or Buddhist, it is 1/16 that for a Muslim man.
In Iran, there is no death benefit for Baha’ii, who are considered to be apostates from Islam. They can be “killed with impunity” as a recent State department report said.
Even in allegedly “moderate” Islamic countries like Malaysia, the state encourages and promotes conversion to Islam while making it almost impossible to convert from Islam to another religion. Custody battles in cases of divorce are handled by sharia courts which always side with the Muslim spouse. Non-Muslim spouses have no rights under sharia law.
When I see these Western politicians groveling in front of Muslims while staying silent about the sharia apartheid system under which non-Muslims are compelled to live in Islamic countries, I wonder whether some kind of mad-cow disease has overcome these fools.
Oliver says
As for your last sentence. It is called POTOMAC PC MAD COW DISEASE.

Demsci says
Impressive post. Very good information.
When we take the global view, it becomes right away so obvious how big the imbalance is between Islamic and Democratic countries! It is in Islamic countries where the huge discrimination is. Also with propaganda and censorship and lack of freedom of speech of course. And de facto prohibition of apostasy of course.
We wonder what kind of societies Mormons would have built, had they lived in nations where they were the majority …..
Meanwhile, in Democratic societies, Muslims, and it seems, Mormons alike, set the standards for fair behavior to minorities infinitely higher than their standards for Islamic countries. Or lack thereof. To me this looks like sheer myopic attitudes and hypocritical double standards.
And in the scheme of lowered expectations for Islamic countries and Muslims in comparison with moral standards for Democratic countries and citizens; I find the attitude of this Mor(m)on rather racist.
Consider; we only criticize adult sane humans we consider capable of responsibility and change.
That aside from the question whether we think they are innocent or guilty as charged of course. But one can hardly argue that Muslims and Islamic countries are totally innocent all the time!
And so, those who only criticize the democratic nations and their citizens, and politicians, in effect treat Islamic nations, Muslims a bit like they treat children, animals or crazies, those who are unable to change.
Perhaps in a way such people thus unconsciously compliment democratic nations and citizens. And perhaps it’s really true that such nations and people can and do improve their ways more than …… the others.
Oliver says
We wonder what kind of societies Mormons would have built, had they lived in nations where they were the majority
I would think that, like Muslims, they would prohib alcoholic beverages; tobacco and caffein also (although I believe Muslims are allowed those); and also allow polygamy, and also treat women as second class citizens. Just my view
But, no view as to how they would treat other religons.
(The few Mormons that I have known, and the number is very few- most were hypocrites).

It’s incredible – it’s the Daily Beast!!
To use the man’s deathbed scene for dramatic effect is questionable.
But here’s a story right back at them – there was a Coptic Christian in Egypt – who also suffered a stroke. Infirmed his family asked their Coptic priest to hold a bedside prayer vigil over him.
But when the Muslim neighbors saw this – called the police and the Coptic priest was arrested for holding an unauthorized prayer meeting.
Granted the [sharia] law is the [sharia] law on restrictions placed on non-Muslim religious practices – but when the priest’s arrest for praying over the sick – came to light, there was at least some outrage expressed in parts of the Egyptian media.
::
There was a European Catholic priest in Algeria who wasn’t so lucky – he was jailed for several years for conducting unauthorized prayer meeting with passing illegal migrants.

Western Safe Space
But if you were brought up in the west as a Christian – how could you imagine that other people could see the world so differently – and believe that to be right.
We want to separate the idea that the terrorist attack us because ‘they don’t like our way of life’ – from its roots in the laws and norms of the Islamic world.
The big question is under what religious and political environment could you see telephoning the police because a priest entered a house to pray over the very ill – specifically because it was not going to be a Muslim prayer uttered?
If they come to the west – there are many variety of Christians, there are no restrictions on practicing Christianity – or other Islamic faith. Calling the police for such religious matters might be viewed as a nuisance call. But if what these Christians and other non-Muslim folks are doing, minding their own business – is so outrageous – that you have to enforce Islamic law on them yourself – through threats of violence or attack – then Trump as every right to keep those people out.
::
In the refugee centers in Europe – Muslim migrants are threatening to kill the Christian ones.The reluctance to integrate amongst Europe’s Muslim communities stems from the rejection of the pluralistic Christian society.
Trump has simply said there is a ‘great hate’ coming from Islam – and it’s something many on the Left are not willing to look at – and worst seek to bolster themselves by undermining those who do.
Only 65% of the country agrees with Trump – that something needs to be done about Muslim immigration.
LR says
If there are Muslim immigrants threatening to kill Christian immigrants, that sure is a no brainer. Deport those particular Muslims pronto.
Rob says
What Trump said about Muslims, is no different to what I expect he would say about a loss-making business unit:
‘We should stop pouring money into that new Mall, until we figure what the hell is going on’.
In other words: ‘We are in a hole so first thing is stop digging!’
Oliver says
Rob,
Your comment is right. And the business alanaly is fitting. You might want o consider what he di when he bought a money losing country club (I think Cal).
Tha management was complaining that the clubhosue was outdated; had to be torn down, etc.
Trump bought it. REMOVED THE OUTDATED FURNITURE; did interior work to moderize and brought in modern (and new) furniture. did not ahve to dmeolish the building.

And if you say; but for some people it WAS horrible what Trump said, then you are on your way to understand Donald Trump and his voters better, because if you would just listen to them, you would hear a lot of horrible stories from THEM,
the many, many nasty things Supremacist Muslims have done to so many weaker and oppressed people, like women, christians, jews etc. and with what violence, not to mention ill-wishes, they threathened others, and for this they would have mountains of proof.

Did we miss his ‘speech’ on the horrors of “beheadings”?? How many trips did he take to Germany so that he could witness with his own eyes “how wonderful” and appreciative the Muslims are.. ( after they threw away bottles of water and food that the German people -with their stupid Welcome signs- presented them with) –the Muslims whom are mostly MEN between the ages of 18- 40 in Western clothing-took the food and bottled water and threw them on the railroad tracks and shouted “Allahu akbar”.
