Jihad Watch

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

Democrats never mentioned ISIS, jihad, or terrorism on Day One of DNC

Jul 26, 2016 10:54 am By Robert Spencer

Politifact is not really a fact-checking site; it’s just another propaganda arm of the far-Left. So if even they are saying this, the problem is acute and clear. For the Democrats, jihad terror is just not a priority. The fact that there was no mention of it whatsoever on the first day of their convention is abundant illustration of that, whatever they might say on the second or third day. They’re much more interested in climate change and pandering to their various interest groups. Meanwhile, Germany and France are on fire, and because of policies still endorsed by the Democrats and numerous influential Republicans, that fire is coming here.

“Politifact: Democrats never mentioned terrorism on Day One of DNC,” by Tyler Pager, Politico, July 26, 2016:

Republicans’ claim that Democrats did not mention terrorism or ISIL on the first night of the Democratic National Convention is correct, Politifact said Tuesday morning.

Following Monday night’s speeches, Republicans blasted the Democrats for a lack of focus on terrorism from the 61 speakers.

“Based on our searches of C-SPAN closed-captioning text, Congressional Quarterly transcripts and other video archiving services, we couldn’t find any speaker who mentioned “ISIS,” “Islamic” “terror,” “terrorist,” or “terrorism” during the first day of the convention,” Politifact wrote.

The fact-checking website did add the caveat that the Democrats still have three days to discuss terrorism at the convention and the first day of the convention was not meant to focus on foreign policy. Additionally, Hillary Clinton on Monday called for action against ISIL at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“We need to lead other countries in stopping ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other radical jihadist groups,” she said. “We shouldn’t leave that to the rest of the world to figure out on their own. That won’t keep us safe.”

      Actually, I did see a display of the flag but the pledge of allegiance was fumbled. The youngest delegate and the oldest delegate led the recitation of the pledge: a girl of 17 not yet eligible to vote in the general election and an elderly woman who seemed to be blind. They had to face a teleprompter instead of the flag in order to remember the words but the older woman, who could not see, forgot and left out the word “indivisible.”

      I felt sorry for the elderly lady but it seemed like an appropriate and very symbolic start to the 2016 Democratic Convention.

        Imagine how tortured their minds must be from the mental gymnastics required to get through daily life.

        It’s just one glaring false truth after another.

        Truely nothing can stress their brains more then repeating “Islam has nothing to do with Terrorism” after ever daily tragedy.

        These are people that ask “Obama what color is the sky today”.

        They have seen blue for their entire lives, know what blue looks like, but now faced with blue, they are lost.

          Jul 27, 2016 at 6:28 pm

          worth re-printing: “The globalists LOVE Islam. It’s everything they could possibly want in a false religion. They love its brutality, the way it viciously polices its own and crushes dissent from within. They love its dehumanization, how it turns its followers into little more than human ammunition, eager to be spent in the slaughter of infidels. They love its crushing of spirit, how it keeps entire populations ignorant of history and science while living in destitute poverty, convincing them that fighting the infidels is more important than civilian infrastructure. They love its real rape culture, the way it reduces women and girls to mere livestock, to be raped or beaten or killed or sold on a whim. But most of all, they love its system of unquestioning loyalty, how its followers wouldn’t dare think twice if their imams told them to butcher that person or blow up that kindergarten or beat their own daughter to death. This is why the demonic death cult of Islam has been chosen by the globalists as the official false religion of their new world order.” – cyberjacques

      The Dems are very divided. Silverman and Al Franken are self-hating, globalist, anti-religious, anti-nationalist, Soros-inspired, secular Jews think they have come down the mountain as a herd of Moses-clones in chic clothes. They do not even support Israel. They are proud of their emptiness.

          Jul 27, 2016 at 10:38 am

          There is more than enough blame to go around. Yes, the government of the US, specifically Hillary Clinton, is in large part responsible because of her “Arab Spring” which destabilized much of the Middle East and caused thousands, if not millions of deaths. The Tomahawk missiles which started raining down on Libya and emboldened ISIS to come into being and caused the death in a horrible way of Kadafy was her idea, and she freely admits it. She and her boss encouraged the Muslim Brotherhood to take over Egypt, and why not? Hillary Clinton’s minion, Huma Aberdin’s family, was part of the cabal which formed the Muslim Brotherhood. Jimmy Carter started the whole thing by double=crossing the Shah of Iran and making it possible for Ayatollah Komeini to return from France and take over Iran for the Islamic Republic of Iran.

          I am personally tired of those who do not know history or current events lecturing those who do.

        • Angemon says

          Jul 27, 2016 at 9:45 pm

          I can see Ben Shapiro’s point – that perhaps if Hillary got elected that would drive the Republican party to undergo the revamp it needs and probably won’t go through if Trump, a candidate that’s as much of a Republican as Pope Francis is Catholic, wins.

          I disagree with him (on the grounds that if Hillary wins America is done for and therefore it matters not if the Republican party goes under some drastic revamp that makes them better than ever), but I understand his stance.

        • heidi says

          Jul 28, 2016 at 12:59 am

          Trump is the overwhelming choice of Republican voters–he exposed what the rest of the line up represented, the so-called conservatives who joined forces with wealthy liberal globalists in openly supporting a massive immigration invasion, relying on bad ideology, outdated economics, and historical myths to falsely claim that immigration is a moral imperative, an economic necessity, and in the national interest.we have had enough of being manipulated. this is the new Patriotic party that wants an end to the greed of the cheap labor advocates that have left us with rising crime/poverty, failing schools, job loss, bad trade agreements, and life threatening unvetted muslim migration. these are all the points Trump has addressed, and no, he’s not a gov’t worker, he doesn’t need this job, but we need him if we want a chance to stop the nonsense that both sides have created.

      Yes, Michelle Obama said, “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,” He said, “History does not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

      If we do not have a government willing to fight ISIS, we will have no country to be proud of.

    They truly believe they are not at war with Islam.

    Question to those more astute than I: Isn’t it a good thing for the average American voter that those dumb Dems haven’t mentioned jihad terror, so that the average American voter can conclude “the Dems don’t care about us”? I am not certain, but when the average mainstream media channels report on what is happening in Germany, France and other countries where innocent people are attacked, the average American voter would connect the dots and conclude that “it has to do with Islam” ?? Would appreciate your thoughts, my fellow anti-jihad buddies. Thank you.

        To t: Thank you for your answer to me, as per your comment of 12:09 am, July 27. I can only hope and pray that more Americans wake up to the evil realities of Islam. One thing I see happening in my talks to people wherever I go is that many Americans have difficulty understanding what is “doctrinal” and what is a personal choice as to interpret something in a certain way, which may not be doctrinal. I am glad to share with you that in Aug. 2014, I was naive enough to write to Pres. Obama to warn him about ISIS invading America, taking over the White House and beheading him. Well, I never got a response, which surprised me at the time! So I went on a relentless mission to find out why the Pres. of the US kept stating that “ISIS had nothing to do with Islam” when it seemed to me (not knowing anything about Islam except the 5 Pillars, which I learned in high school) that ISIS was constantly quoting the Quran and appeared to be endorsing Islam quite a lot! So my searching brought me to this wonderful website, as well as Gatestone Institute, Pamela Geller.com, BareNakedIslam.com and Koran-at-a-Glance.com, for all of which I am very, very grateful. (JihadWatch.org is my favorite of the 5 but they are all great.) Take care t. Keep up your great answers.

I find it completely incredible (but I do believe you) that any people, some people, or many people would say “We just have to get used to it.” Most men and women would not be able to “get used to” their spouse cheating on them. So why would people be tolerant of terror attacks from ANYONE?

    The Republican Party leaves much to be desired (e.g., really “getting” Islam) but the Democratic Party has become nothing more than another Euro-socialist party, replete with globalist thinking, hostility to true patriotism and the nation state, opposition to closely monitored borders, a woeful understanding of capitalism, the only economic system that actually produces wealth, stupid priorities (e.g., climate change is more of a threat than ISIS), a complete incapacity to grasp that peace comes through strength, hostility to true freedom by way of hate speech restrictions, a moral relativism that often times is simply sickening, and a decided proclivity to divide Americans into groups rather than seeing just Americans.

    In short, the Democratic Party has really, really dumbed down and this is why foolish and uninformed people are so attracted to it. It’s gotten to the point that the term, “enlightened Democrat, is practically an oxymoron.

      Wait a minute, its candidate has taken the position of no Moslem imports from trouble areas, i.e., Moslem areas, unless they can be properly vetted, and my read is that Trump knows none can ever be properly vetted, and never will be if he’s elected. That’s a huge advance by the Republican Party in matters of the hairy angry people.

      • Wellington says

        APF: Trump’s position on Muslim migration was directly refuted by Paul Ryan and sundry other Republicans. Trump’s position on further Muslim immigration is NOT the official party position, not by a long shot. Extolling Trump on this matter does NOT equate to extolling the Republican Party’s position on this matter. Hence what I averred.

      But with regards to the Republicans – you know, there is also a good chance that even though Trump will enter the White House as a Republican, but leave third party. It’s happened before (Tyler was the first) maybe it is time for a third party to get its foot in the door of the White House.

        My congrats, abad, on your reference to Tyler. Nominally a Whig and formerly a Democrat, by the end of his Presidency in March of 1845, after taking over from the 9th President who died just a month after coming into office, he was indeed a man with no party. Might happen to Trump too. Could be a bad thing, but then again could be a good thing, as you indicated. Much is fluid and so hard to predict right now, though many scenarios remain real possibilities.

    To the Democrats, any reference to ISIS or radical Islam is just too darn “dark” and “scary”. Trump was “dystopian” with “gloom and doom” when he addressed it. These smug, enlighted members of the Democrat Party will not stoop to such “fear”, no sir. They instead will promote unrestricted migration and open borders, gun control and purging of all references to Islam in terrorism training manuals.

      Yeah–but this is what he said:

      “I feel like a Republican now because they don’t stand for same-sex marriage, and that appeals to me,” Obama told the New York Post in a call from the Kenyan village of Kogelo.
      ………

      What would he have thought of *this*?

      I doubt Malik Obama would much like Donald Trump’s condemnation of the Jihad massacre in Orlando or his vow to protect the LGBTQ community from this “hateful foreign ideology” (Islam).

      • abad says

        Jul 26, 2016 at 8:02 pm

        See this is what I mean.

        Obama absolutely refuses to place national security ahead of his precious Islam and the LGBTQ.

        He really should move to Syria if he values Islam so much. Hussein Obama is not an American. Not with his gung ho Islam.

    Ironically if the Democrats get their way and there is a larger influx of Islamists into the US, conventions like this will be a thing of the past.

    As witnessed recently in Germany, first the Islamists will spread terror and then people will not attend any gatherings out of fear. Unfortunately the same can not be said of them, since any reprobate Muslim is promised paradise through jihad.

    Meanwhile the authorities, ever watchful, will be clueless about what is really happening. Sadly the only real account of these atrocities is when IS releases a video, but they’re not really Muslims apparently.

    Reasons why Islam and socialism have a strong affinity:

    1) Both belief systems are predicated on the taking of OPM (other people’s money)
    2) Neither believes in the human capacity to control one’s well being and fortune
    3) Both belief systems are globalist
    4) Neither countenances free speech
    5) Both worship at the altar of central governmental control and dictatorship from there
    6) Neither has a track record of efficacy; both always fail sooner or later

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Jul 26, 2016 at 5:47 pm

      By number 6 in the case of Islam by “fail” I mean the inability to deliver happiness, but of course Islam consistently wins and is now well on its way to world takeover.

    DEMOCRATS KNOW THE TRUTH THAT MOST OF THE ATTACK GOING ON THE WORLD MEDIA(NOT THE GROUND) ARE FALSE FLAG …….REPUBLICANS & JEW ,RIGHT WING TERRORIST,HOMO PSYCH & CRUSADERS DECLARE THEIR MOTO ” LYING & GET VOTE ” ,.

    ISLAMIC JIHAD VS CRUSADERS TERRORISM
    “God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you
    not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing
    kindly and justly with them: for God loveth those who are just.”
    (H.Q. 60:8)
    “God only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you
    for (your) faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support
    (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship
    and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumst
    ances), that do wrong.” (H.Q. 60:9)
    It is evident from these verses that it has, in fact, been
    commanded not to enter into friendship only with those who hatch and
    execute plots for the destruction of Islam and the Muslims. The Qur’an
    never refers to any negative result in entering into friendly relations
    with the other ordinary non-Muslims which will not, in any way, prove
    harmful to Islam.
    In Arabic, Jihad refers to the struggle to attain slated goals by
    persevering against all difficulties and obstacles that may come up in
    the process. Indeed, the term Jihad has been used both in the Qur’an
    and the saying of the Prophet to mean the highest exertion in the
    cause of God. It never implied the attacks against non-Muslims.
    It is the duty of every Muslim to strive in the way of God. Look,
    for instance, at a verse of the Qur’an which exhorts to the way of
    incessant striving. “And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive,
    (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and
    has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the religion
    of your father Abraham. It is He who has named you Muslims,
    both before and in this(Revelation); that the messenger may
    be a witness for you, and ye be witness for mankind! So establish
    regular prayer, give Zakat and hold fast to Allah! He is your
    Protector – the Best to protect and the Best to Help?” (H.Q.
    22:78)
    It is especially relevant that in this verse, which explains the
    nature of Jihad and exhorts the believers to come forward for the
    same, the statement “that the messenger may be a witness for
    you, and ye be witness for mankind” has been mentioned explicitly.
    The Muslims are those who, after Muhammad (e), have been
    entrusted with the furtherance of the mission of all the earlier prophets.
    Therefore, Jihad is the struggle and sacrifice that becomes necessary
    in accomplishing the mission of witnessing to the true religion.
    A Muslim must firstly prepare himself for the mission of
    witnessing to the true religion. An individual carries out Jihad with his
    own self by subjecting, and controlling, all his likes and dislikes to the
    dictates of the divine commandments. Indeed, in accomplishing his
    mission a Muslim is duty-bound to subject his wealth, family, society
    and environment to a proper and apt preparedness. All these
    preparations come within the meaning of the term Jihad.
    A Muslim fulfills his mission of bearing witness to the true religion
    by living his life according to the divine religion and also by its
    propagation. It is also the duty of each Muslim to become part of the
    process of working for change in a situation wherein the freedom for
    carrying out both these objectives is curtailed. It is also his obligation
    to be an active member even of an armed campaign for the restoration
    of the freedom of religious practice in the event that such a situation
    comes up and, wherein, the Muslim society does decide that such a
    course of action is, indeed, imperative.
    Jihad is never the battle waged against non-Muslims in a simplistic
    and general sense. It is, in fact, the nature of life that is lived in accordance
    with Islam and the exertions, sacrifices and struggle that will be necessary
    to throw aside the forces that disallow one to live as a Muslim. Only in
    such circumstances, therefore, will Jihad be in the form of an armed
    campaign. All legal codes in the modern world recognize the right of every single person to live by, and to propagate, the tenets of the religion
    that he, or she, believes in. It is the duty of the Muslim community to
    make efforts to regain this fundamental right if it is denied to it. It is only
    when resort is made to the use of force in such efforts that italicize
    comes to imply armed opposition. The Qur’an does permit the Muslim
    community to employ force when it becomes quite inevitable in the context
    wherein the freedom to live one’s life in accordance with the religion of
    truth and to propagate it is denied.
    Even in the instances where armed struggle is waged against
    those who deny the right to live one’s life according to Islam and come
    forth to make war against the Muslim community, it is the recommendation
    of the Qur’an that limits be not crossed and that no further
    action be taken against them if they refrain from the opposition and
    antagonism which they had displayed earlier.
    “Fight in the cause of God those who fight you but do not transgress
    limits; for God loveth not transgressors.” (H.Q. 2:190)
    “But if they cease, God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (H.Q.
    2:192)
    Where but in the Qur’an can we ever find such a humane recommendation
    that full justice must be meted out even in the field of
    battle!
    In all other situations it will remain only as the life that is lived
    according to Islam and as the struggle that goes with the propagation
    thereof.

      To sham- I read every word of your 1:48 am, July 27, 2016 post. It seems there is a disconnect or a gross misunderstanding by certain Muslims about what you write and the intentions of your ideas as those brought forth straight from the Quran with respect to the militant, Muslim killing machines of ISIS, Al-Queda, Al- Nusra, Al-Shabaab. etc. Many of these Muslim groups kill other Muslims, and many kill Christians, Jews and Hindus. I seriously doubt that the people being killed by these creepy Muslim groups are prohibiting Muslims from living their faithl. Additionally, in my own life I have lovely Muslim neighbors from Uzbekistan who have been in the US for about 16 years. In the late winter/spring of 2015 the adult daughter (who was divorced at the time) asked me to tutor her son once a week and gave me $400 for 4 months. I told her $200 was very good because I would be away for 3 weeks in that period. She said she must give me $400. So out of respect for her, I took it. She was very pleased with my schooling of her son and always gave me coffee or tea and something to eat. I was not hungry butI ate it out of respect for her. Her older brother would talk to me about Islam after the tutoring lesson. I listened but told them I was a Christian and loved Jesus. I politely declined to go to their “masjid”(mosque). I invited them to my church. They declined. The older daughter re-married to an imam and now this wonderful family does not want me in their apartment or in their presence. They are not rude to me, but it is not like it was before she got married to the imam. So I conclude that Islam negatively affects neighborly friendships, in spite of your comments that Islam only insists that people are killed if those people prevent Muslims from being Muslim. I never prevented them from being Muslim and they never prevented me from being Christian, yet now it is just “hello” and “good-bye”. Sad. I do miss them. I hope they miss me. I wonder what you conclude from this, Sham.

    Slick Willy’s schmaltzy sophistry yesterday served to remind that a vote, a foolish vote, this time for Hillary Hussein Clinton this November will again deliver two Dhimmis for the price of one. And after eight years of shocking anti-Americanism and increasingly overt jihad directed from the White House itself, this poor world — look at it! — just cannot take any more subversion or stupidity by a US President and Commander in Chief.

    Americans, do do your due diligence (something far too many neglected the last two times), be patriotically correct for a change and VOTE#TRUMP/PENCE with an overwhelming majority — the next two times!

    In the perversely, twisted ideology of the Democrats, the Republicans and all those right of center politically are the terrorists. When it comes to truth and fiction the Democrats and others of the so-called Progressive movement utilize the Big-Lie as its diktat; the most masterful liars are Obama and Hillary Clinton.

    One must admit, they have become maestros in concocting, like political alchemists, lies into a supposed truth, to dupe the gullible and the unsophisticated. This is achieved by part because leftist delusionally believe they are the chosen, the intelligentsia and the entitled of America. The Democrats and its ideology employ the same seditious methodology as the Bolsheviks exploited to usurp, destabilize… Russia, soon thereafter the former, USSR.

    I wish you would all for a moment put down your furious anti-Liberal stance. This problem of Islam being a threat to us all, is NOT a Liberal issue – it is an Islam issue. There IS a problem with Liberals being much too late to admit or realize what is going on here – they are erring on the side of tolerance & peace, not of itself a bad thing, since you certainly, in most cases of difference of opinion, need an attitude of ‘lets discuss this’ before jumping to conclusions. I happen to think that Islam IS a worldwide problem, has shown itself to be so, and I am a Liberal in all things except that particular subject, or until any other subject may require me to change my caring, tolerant attitude. I think common sense should come first, and on the subject of the facts of Islamic behavior, I consider common sense to dictate that we need to now beware of this cult. That does not make all you ‘Conservatives’ RIGHT on everything you see in the world, that makes you right on this subject, apart from your tendency to start shouting hatred & bile on everything on the planet – Trump style!- we need to figure out what the policy has to be to deal with this threat to Western civilization. THAT is what we are facing now. If that means we need to consider freezing the assets of Islamic groups in the West, shutting down mosques or removing some people from the West back to their original countries, so be it. WHAT exactly is legal, or will need to change to be legal in order to protect ourselves ? It would be nice if we could discuss this subject WITHOUT all the usual Left/Right stupidity – which achieves nothing !

      except that it is the left choice to support hillary who plans to increase the muslim immigration by 550%. the only way to stop her plan is to stop her from winning. Trump does have a plan to stop this insanity until CIA and FBI can testify to the safety of Americans, which they currently say they cannot. nothing about that message is “hateful”, nor is Trump’s desire to give American workers jobs/advancement opps. we are fed up with rising crime/poverty, failing schools, trade deals that cost us hundreds of billions, nuclear deals with iran that will cost untold lives–it must be stopped. politicians on both sides have been bought by wealthy elites greedy for cheap labor, which is why Trump self funded so as not to be beholden to them. He is not a gov’t puppet & does not need this job–we however need him.

    Libertine, “progressive liberalism” is all about having ever-more rights and ever less responsibilities, by dint of claiming that there is no free-will choice or guilt to blame anyone for: that there are no real “crimes” nor “criminals,” because life is too complex for anyone to ever really be able to understand cause-and-effect; so, “since” all so-called facts are really only opinions anyway, the leftist gangster criminals’ subjective might-made-right opinions must be the “diversely opposite equals” to those silly individualist conservative’s objective “facts!”

    Therefore, to such reality-avoiding lying criminal cowards, the only real crime should be being offensively mean in hurting someone’s feelings by accusing them of “crimes” and calling them “criminals!”

    SO OF COURSE CRIMINAL LEFTIST GANGSTERS DEFEND THE “MUSLIM” VARIETY, TOO!

    Mr. Spencer, would you please consider adding a feature to jihadwatch.org’s website whereby there is a monthly summary of terrorist attacks on Western countries? This would be a great public service, especially for times like this past week where it can be hard to keep track (was it 3 or was it 4 incidents in Germany this past week? 2 in France or more?). The preferred format would in columnar, 1 section or page per month: country with name of city/municipality, date, synopsis of incident, casualty count. There can be a supplemental count for non-Western nations, but for those who are trying to change policies in the countries like the U.S., it would help to have a page focused just on atrocities directed against citizens in Western nations.
