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

Hillary ignores Istanbul jihad attack during town hall event, instead hits “Islamophobia”

Jun 29, 2016 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

But she did get around to releasing a written statement that said: “Today’s attack in Istanbul only strengthens our resolve to defeat the forces of terrorism and radical jihadism around the world. And it reminds us that the United States cannot retreat.” Radical jihadism. She probably never would have said even that phrase were it not for pressure from Trump’s excoriating her and Obama for refusing to identify the enemy, but she would no doubt insist (if asked, which she won’t be) that “radical jihadism” has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.

“Clinton ignores Istanbul terror attack during town hall event,” New York Post, June 29, 2016:

Hillary Clinton ignored the terror attack at İstanbul’s Atatürk Airport at a digital town hall event Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

Rather than discuss the trio of ISIS-suspected suicide attacks that has so far claimed the lives of 41 and injured many more, Clinton discussed revenge porn, calling herself “Exhibit A,” but declining to explain more….

Clinton also used the live event with YouTube stars to dump on Donald Trump. “I am not sympathetic to the xenophobia, the misogyny, the homophobia, the Islamophobia…or the sort of dog whistles that Trump uses to create that fervor among a lot of his supporters,” she said.

Unlike the former secretary of state, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump did address the terror attack at a rally in Ohio Tuesday night.

“There’s something going on that’s really, really bad,” he said. “And we better get smart and we better get tough or we’re not going to have much of a country left.”

Clinton did, however, release a written statement about the attack. “Terrorists have struck again in the heart of one of our NATO allies—and all Americans stand united with the people of Turkey against this campaign of hatred and violence,” she said.

She added, “Today’s attack in Istanbul only strengthens our resolve to defeat the forces of terrorism and radical jihadism around the world. And it reminds us that the United States cannot retreat.”

        Yes, it was just terrible that those three Christians blew up the Istanbul airport and killed 47 people and injured dozens. No, wait. It wasn’t Christians.

    That is really grasping at straws for this Benghazi Bitch to exploit the murders in Orlando by a MUSLIM who was inspired by Hillary’s shameless groveling to MUSLIMS.

    Trump has said he was against gay marriage in the past.
    That is about the best they got against Trump.

    It is despicable (putting it mildly) that she dumped on Trump while ignoring Islamic terror

    Just as the European masses have just now truly woken up to the terror of MUSLIMS, I sincerely hope millions more Americans will also wake up BEFORE November and elect the patriotic Donald Trump (with all his faults) instead of the Whore of Babylon called Hillary Rhodam Clinton

    That woman is far uglier on the inside than the outside, if that’s possible. I knew after the Innocence of Muslims debacle this snake was a disgrace to American politics and a traitor to free speech, and that’s saying a lot when you can disgrace politicians in America. She values sharia over our constitution, islam over religious freedom, and islam’s right to be violent over our right to speak against it. She is like so many of our fake leaders that lie with great conviction to protect islam’s evil agenda. And why does she and others do this? I think it’s because they are afraid and without moral fortitude, and are happily complicit in the destruction of our freedoms. You think back to the vision our founding father’s had with their principles of justice and equality, and the pursuit of happiness as inalienable rights. And even though many of them were living the sin of slave ownership so popular at the time, they had the moral guts to reach beyond selfish motives. But look at what we have now, weak and self-serving money-grubbing liars, who would sell their soul if it would get them votes. It’s no wonder politics in our nation is so rotted and ineffectual, they’re nothing but bell-clangers for the status quo.

    Trump is criticized so often as a dangerous demagogue or a nazi. But the real danger to America is Hillary. She would sell our constitution if it would garner her a lake home, I truly believe this. She does not care about our country’s founding principles or the threat islam brings to our shores. Her politics is one of appeasement and conciliation for those who mean us great harm–MUSLIMS. I do think that qualifies her as “dangerous.”

    • sog says

      Jun 29, 2016 at 12:31 pm

      She can now afford (through graft) all the lake homes she could ever want. What she wants now is power, to move people like pawns. That’s pretty much the property of Islam too. which is part of the reason the Alansky progressives seem to “fit” with Islam so well.

    No, you don’t need dog-whistles – you very clearly signal it’s OK to hate Trump and his supporters because it’s the “right” thing to do – you throw as many invectives as you can at him to whip your bloodhounds into a frenzy and pretend it’s his fault when *your* supporters gang up on his supporters – it’s OK to attack Trump supporters because they’re “xehophobes”, “misogynists”, “homophobes”, “islamophobes”. Oh, speaking of homophobia – Omar Mateen, who killed those gays in Orlando? Democrat voter, not Trump supporter.

    and all Americans stand united with the people of Turkey against this campaign of hatred and violence,” she said.

    Yeah, gonna have to stop you right there, c***. You don’t speak for all Americans, especially those who see Turkey for the terrorism-enabling state it is.

    • Charli Main says

      Jun 29, 2016 at 1:08 pm

      Very true. In the long standing Muslim tradition of always biting the hand that feeds you, Islamic State has mauled the Turkish hand that has been feeding it for years.

    Reporter: You speak of “radical jihadism. Could you explain to us what that is?

    Hillary: Well ……… it’s taking the belief in jihad to an extreme.

    Reporter: So belief in jihad is okay as long as it does not call for violence or killing people?

    Hillary: Yes, moderate jihad is nothing to fear.

    Reporter: Could you define jihad for us?

    Hillary: All decent right-minded people know what it is. Next question please.

        It’s a hint for a reporter to ask Hillary to ask er to define jihad and to see how see responds. This is my prediction of her answer.

    It’s true that criticism of Islam will “radicalize” some Muslims — in other words, cause them to look more into the roots of their religion and to more often follow the totalitarian jihadist example of Muhammad.

    What Clinton, Petraeus and others who urge us not to criticize Islam do not get, is that “radicalization” is not just a reaction to criticism of Islam. Radicalization is also simply a return to the example of Muhammad himself, as shown in the core Islamic texts, and thus happens often regardless of criticism of Islam.

    Criticism increases the return to Muhammad’s example, but does not cause that return. Since totalitarian jihadist behavior will inevitably appear, whether we criticize Islam or not, criticism of Islam will always be provoked by Islam, and attempts to suppress that criticism by calling it bigotry, in the manner of Hillary, are blind.

    Thus Clinton and the Left’s (with the exception perhaps of people like Sam Harris and Bill Maher) proposals about Islam miss the essence of the problem.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Jun 29, 2016 at 2:32 pm

      The essence of the problem is Islam and the essence of Islam is that it is a way to satisfy the wants and needs of one man, Muhammad. Muhammad wanted so badly to be a prophet that he created his own god whom only he could hear and whom no one could question. He craved power, wealth, sex with any woman he wanted, and total devotion and unquestioning loyalty from ignorant, brain-washed slaves. Muhammad turned his own likes and dislikes into universal virtues and built his own religion around all that. Everyone who submits to his religion submits to his way of thinking and accepts what satisfied the desires of Muhammad. Those who follow Islam turn themselves into reflections of Muhammad and let him, though dead for many centuries, control both mind and body. Those who accept Islam become the living dead …. so why should they not love death more than life.

    Read for yourself in the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad how he ordered the torture of a man in order to get hold of a treasure:

    The utter and complete ignorance of Hillary. Please, don’t let her become president.

    • Jack Diamond says

      Jun 30, 2016 at 1:02 am

      Well, the director of the CIA believes, quote, “jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself or one’s community.”

      In keeping with the idea Islam has been hijacked, jihad has been perverted by that same tiny minority of extremists. Hillary made a slip of the tongue (?) “We now face a spreading jihadist threat…we have to recognize this is a global movement” which she was quick to modify to a “radical jihadist” threat. She had to show she could use “that word” and not mean it at the same time.

      Because, as she also has told us: “Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” 11/19/15. She’ll have to explain it, I can’t….

    What’s racist about punishing criminals.

  16. Walter Sieruk says

    Jun 29, 2016 at 3:55 pm

    To go over three things. The first thing is the most light-hearted .Which is that above picture of Hillary putting one of her many fake smiles. So very bogus her smiles are that she is a reminder of the old song in the early 1970’s which now apply to Hillary. Some of the words are “A smile is a frown turned upside down.Smiling faces tell lies.”That’s song sure fits that politician of a character , Hillary. What fake and a pathological liar she is. Second, it’s not “Islamophobia” that’s the problem .it’s too many people not being aware of the actual violent nature of Islam with its militant jihad. The people who are aware of the violence and killing of Islam’s militant jihad don’t have a case of “”Islamophobia.” What they have is a clear view of this subject. Which is a case of Islamorealism. Third, such ISIS jihad suicide /homicide bombings in the Ataturk Airport in Istanbul were as brutal and cruel as these bombing are murderous. Those deadly jihad attacks do lead to an important question, which is “Why are the jihadist bombers are , so very, delusional that they actually want to become human bombs ? ” Some of the reasons are that such violent and deadly people are the outcome of the extreme brainwashing that is done in Islamic mind programming centers which are more widely known as mosques and madrasas, by the Muslim clerics, such as the imams and in some countries as Afghanistan and Iran also the mullahs. In those Islamic mind programming centers youth are thoroughly indoctrinated into believing in the Islamic doctrine from the Koran. as found in 44;54. 55:56. 78:31.., of a sexual/lust filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. First and foremost, those who come out of those places of extreme brainwash are so very warped, sick and deluded that they actually view such murderous bombing attacks as “martyrdom operations” Likewise, they are so very damaged that they have literally become dangerous to self and others. In addition, the Bible does warn about false teachers who ingrain a belief in a doctrine of a story of a /lustful/lust-filled place with much sex in it. For the Bible warns about false teachers, the Muslim clerics do fit this description, in Second Peter 2:18. Which reads “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh…” Furthermore, many a times a jihad –minded Muslim in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false doctrine and false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scripture, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Mathew 22:29, 30. In contrast to the delusional Islamic pipe-dream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]

    Ya know, with all the focus on Islam these days, when Cankles takes the White House she just might appoint Huma Abedin to the position of Secretary of State. That would make sense, she’s a Moslem and thus understands how to deal with Moslems. I only wish that the New York Times would have one of its Pulitzer Prize winners do a review of Huma’s writings and publish it in its Sunday magazine.

    Anything is possible, and here I’m talking about Huma taking over State, not the NYT probing the facts of Huma. That is not possible, so I contradict myself and must amend that anything nonsensical and negative is possible. For example, Hillary can out perform even the great Prez Barack Hussein in the pro-Moslem category.

    Both Clintons are in cahoots with George Soros, the Hungarian-born globalist billionaire who has used his money to speculate against the currency of countries like Malaysia and Thailand, and even the British pound, and once he had caused them great losses, he then went on to gain more money from his unethical behavior. A Soros foundation was the one who designed the mad and disastrous migrant policy followed by Angela Merkel. He is one of the most dangerous persons in the planet. Someone should point this out to Trump so that he can attack her on it.

    “Radical jihadism”? How about the non-radical, plain old fashioned “jihadism” that the non radical, ordinary muslims all must commit against infidels at least once in their life-time? How about that one, Hillary?

  23. Mike E says

    Jul 3, 2016 at 9:26 am

    People with the “correct” standpoints are allowed by mainstream media to throw out the most terrible and totally unsubstantiated accusations about their opponents, labeling them the most terrible things. They claim that people with the “wrong” opinions suffer from mental disorders, calling them Homophobes, Islamophobes, Xenophobes. They label them as racists, bigots, etc.

    It stirs up memories of the Soviet Union where they did the same thing, and, because they could, even went one step further and interred people with the “wrong” opinions in mental institutions.

    The despicable, dishonest ideologues of the liberal-left accomplish two things by this behavior: They don’t have to discuss the issues, and they take away all honors from their opponents.
