Over at PJ Media, I discuss the latest fizzled display of moderate Muslim might:
Moderate Muslims are the hope of the West, right?
Whatever one may think of that statement, it’s a fact: the leaders of Western Europe and North America have brought in so many Muslim migrants — with so many more to come — that they have staked the very future of their nations (and the free world) on the victory of moderate Muslims over their violent co-religionists.
Moderate Muslims are the hope of the West, whether or not they justify that hope.
An unsettling indication that they do not came this week in Washington.
Muslims gathered last Saturday at the National Mall — along with sympathetic Jewish, Christian, Sikh and Buddhist leaders — in order to, in the words of a WTOP report, “condemn terrorism, hate [that is, the spurious propaganda concept of “Islamophobia”] and violence.”
But because of oppressive heat in Washington, the rally was moved to later in the day. When it finally did take place, the large space reserved for it and the big-stage event organizers had set up went for almost naught. A photograph shows that only a handful of people showed up — counting the non-Muslims.
Was it the oppressive heat?
Or did Muslims once again pass up an opportunity to demonstrate that they really do oppose jihad terror, which the non-Muslim Western intelligentsia constantly claims is perpetrated by a tiny minority of extremists who twist and hijack the religion of peace?
Those who did show up — along with the predictable non-sequitur signs reading “No Racism, No Hate” (what race is jihad terror again?) — carried signs reading “Muslims Against ISIS.”
According to WTOP:
[A]ttendees said the atrocious attacks of global terrorism have given Americans the wrong impression of Islam and it was important to speak out.
Abduel Hussein, a teenager from the All Dulles Area Muslim Society Center, explained:
We’re just like every other American and we’re not here to apologize for anything but here to explain this is our religion … a religion of tolerance, peace, ethics.
Wonderful. But almost no other area Muslims decided to join young Abduel in his effort to proclaim that Islam is a religion of “tolerance, peace, ethics.”
Worse, this was far from the first time that attendance at a Muslim rally against terrorism has been decidedly underwhelming.
— There are thousands of Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan — but only 100 showed up for a rally against ISIS and “Islamophobia” in November 2015.
— Earlier that month, only 30 Muslims protested against the jihad massacres in Paris.
— In July 2015, a Muslim rally in Ireland against the Islamic State drew 50 people.
— In October 2014 in Houston, a rally against the Islamic State organized by the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) drew a grand total of 10 people.
— In August 2013 in Boston, about 25 Muslims rallied against “misperceptions” that Islam was violent.
— About 25 Muslims showed up in June 2013 at a progressive Muslim rally in Toronto to claim that their religion had been “hijacked.”
This has been a consistent pattern. Back in 2005, a group called the Free Muslims Coalition held what it dubbed a “Free Muslims March Against Terror”:
[S]end a message to the terrorists and extremists that their days are numbered … and to send a message to the people of the Middle East, the Muslim world and all people who seek freedom, democracy and peaceful coexistence that we support them.
In the run-up to the event it received enthusiastic national and international publicity. It ended up drawing, again, about 25 people.
Contrast those paltry showings with the thousands of Muslims who have turned out for rallies against cartoons of Muhammad or against Israel.
Here are some headlines from the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre of Muhammad cartoonists in January 2015:
— Pakistan: 10,000 Muslims protest against Charlie Hebdo’s Muhammad cartoons…

HERE IS DAVID WOOD’S VIDEO RELEVANT TO THIS ITEM BY ROBERT — “THREE QUESTIONS FOR MODERATE MUSLIMS”.
Go to his blog http://www.answeringmuslims.com — and type the title (ABOVE). The video runs about 6 – 7 minutes. Please watch it when you are not distracted or multitasking, and send it on to family and friends who still have the illusion that a “reform” of Islam is coming, led by all of the Westernized Muslims in America.
And if you have a bit of time, leave a comment of appreciation for David on that video page. He is one of our major counter-jihad experts, a deeply committed Christian, and for at least 6 years has devoted his life to waking up our clueless fellow citizens with many excellent videos.
One which I find especially brilliant on “radicalization” is titled “The Jihad Triangle” — running just 5 minutes Several others: “What is Taqiyya?” , “Three Stages of Jihad” — 25 minutes, “Muhammad – the White Prophet with Black Slaves”.
That last one has even MORE than the typical amount of citations from the Hadith than David typically includes to support his assertions. And, the point established is that contemporaries of Muhammad were RACIST IN THEIR LOVE OF WHITENESS. Tell that to some of the Black Lives Matter folks — or a Nation of Islam member and be prepared for exploding heads.

Ex-muslim says
The reason why only few muslims show up an anti-isis demonstration is because according to the Islamic law and anyone who opposes or Islamic jihadist warriors is considered as an apostate who is opposing islam itself and could be executed according to the sharee’a law. I am sure Robert Spencer understands this and knows it but most non-muslims don’t know this. It is also worth mentioning that around 96% of all muslims secretly support ISIS and Alqaeda and other Islamic jihadists in their hearts or even openly laugh at the disgusting STUPIDITY and weakness of the Western leaders. This is the most frustrating part for me!

Or so you claim. You mostly post anti-West drivel. You stated that you’ll celebrate if muslims massacre Westerns. I bet you have a collection of videos of ISIS beheading Westerners. There’s absolutely zero evidence you know anything about islam. let alone being an “ex” muslim.
You know what I think? I think you simply hate the West. And you’re claiming to be an ex-muslim to try to give your hatred of the West some sort of legitimacy.
“ and you (an atheistic, anti-Christian, openly homosexual Jew) you want teach me about islam? Get lost!“”
Ah, the ever escalating insults. You have as much evidence for me being anti-Christian, homosexual or Jew as you have for you having been a muslim at any given point in your life. I’ll politely remind you that while you’re raving like a lunatic about the West, Jews and homosexuals, I’m calling actual anti-Christian morons on their nonsense – but I guess you have your priorities and I have mine…
Anyway, where’s the citation I asked you about? You know, about the “secret” 96% number?

As an ex-muslim, I know for a fact that over 96% of muslims who are not doing jihad themselves secretly or openly support those who are doing jihad because that is what islam teaches, that is real islam and they are taught to use “Taqiyyah” or disinformation to mislead the infidels.

Oh, for f***’s sake. You can’t even google properly? Go look up the definition of taqiyah. You’ll find out that it’s a *shia* doctrine. not a sunni doctrine. Sunnis are allowed to lie to advance islam, of course, but they don’t call it taqiyah. Shias are 10-15% of the total muslims worldwide so. no, 96% of muslism worldwide are NOT taught to use taqiyah. More evidence that you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
P.S.: you call me “pro-islamic”? You, who’ll celebrate if muslims massacre Westerns? F***ing dumbass…

Dear Ex-muslim, you are right. Majority of muslims support jihadists in their hearts and with zakat and prayers etc. I am not surprised that the ridiculous and ignorant (Angemon) is denying the fact that majority of muslims support jihadists quietly in the hearts. I believe that there is no one who can understand islam like an ex-muslim which you are I also know NO one in the world can understand the unbelievable trauma, the burden, the persecution and the rejection that (ex-muslims) have to go through after they leave islam. May God bless you and keep you safe dear Ex-muslim and just keep praying for justice because I believe Lord Jesus will definitely hear people like you who left everything behind and put their lives on the line to follow Him. May God bless you!

Oh, look – the Human Centipede is at it again. EM made a claim – that 96% of muslims worldwide “secretly” (or not that secretly, apparently 🙂 ) supported al-qaeda or ISIS. I asked a citation for his claim. I’m sorry that you feel that wanting to have a citation so I can repeat his claim and back it up if asked is “denying a fact”, but I can’t help you there.
“I believe that there is no one who can understand islam like an ex-muslim which you are”
Oh, he is? Citation needed. As I pointed out on several occasions, he has shown to possess exactly zero knowledge of islam unlike, for example, oh, ALL actual ex-muslims who post on JW.
But if you, a serial liar vouch for him, with exactly zero evidence to back your claim, then I guess it must be true… /sarc. off…

Blaming Islam for terrorism is like blaming Christians for mercenaries, who carried out slavery, stole lands.
You’re all condeming all Muslims and taking islam as a bad religion coz you don’t know what islam is all about. You only believe what the media says.
Islam is a religion of peace whether you believe it or not. We are all against terrorism because terrorism has no religion nor race. You may call Islam with all bad names you know of but Islam won’t perish.
boakai ngombu says
i don’t believe that anyone has seen TRUE islam the media hasn’t informed about this
but what we do see are moslems (slaves) following muhammad (so the slaves are muhammadans – emulating muhammad … if he ever existed) and he is an example of improper behavior and seems to condone terroristic acts, as encouraged by the KORAN. the media hasn’t informed about this, either
some have read the KORAN and studied SHARIA and found that the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) has done little to encourage islam but has done much to encourage all that slaves do following muhammad. the media hasn’t informed about this either

Islam is a cult of hate, death, beheading, stoning, suicide bombings, crucifixions, amputations and barbarity. Islam is pure EVIL. Islam is very destructive system full of hate, wars, bloodshed, violence, darkness, honor-killings and huge amount of barbaric brutality and demonic savagery! Islam is pure EVIL!

Hey, unchristiancrap! If you leave out a couple of the points in your description of islam, stoning, for example, you have given us a PERFECT description of RUSSIA, and what it has done since the revolution!

Asia says – “You’re all condemning all Muslims and taking islam as a bad religion coz you don’t know what islam is all about. You only believe what the media says.”
Asia – don’t you realize what kind of site Jihad Watch is? It is the place people go to actually learn the truth about Islam, just the opposite of what you imply. It is hosted by Robert Spencer, who is a scholar with a solid academic background who has now studied Islam approaching two decades. We are all here to get educated with the facts. I think we know better than you what Islam is about by the looks of things, and we certainly don’t learn about it from the “media”, who present a grossly distorted and broadly uninformed view of Islam.

“Blaming Islam for terrorism is like blaming Christians for mercenaries, who carried out slavery, stole lands.”
No, it is not. There are commands in the quran exhorting muslims to ware war on non-muslims – open-ended commands that are to be followed until the end of days. Where are the equivalent commands in the Bible – open-ended, valid until the end of days exhortations telling Christians to go and carry out slavery or steal lands? You realize that it was Christians who ended slavery, right? If it were up to your coreligionists there would still be slaver in the world – oh, wait, look at the population of Qatar and the working conditions there.
“You’re all condeming all Muslims”
Oh, the irony!
“and taking islam as a bad religion coz you don’t know what islam is all about. You only believe what the media says.”
No, Asia, we *know* the tenets of islam. If we were to believe the media we’d believe that islam is a religion of peace, so that angle won’t stick. Plus, for all your bluster about the media, you have not given one example of what the media got wrong.
“Islam is a religion of peace whether you believe it or not.”
And who are we going to believe – you or out lying eyes and ears?
“We are all against terrorism”
Except for the muslims in the islamic state. Or al-qaeda. Or Al shabab. Or the islamic state in West Africa (they used to go by Boko Haram).
“because terrorism has no religion nor race.”
Huh, so what? Terrorism is a means to an end.
“You may call Islam with all bad names you know of”
Bad as they may be, they’re probably accurate.
“but Islam won’t perish.”

islam (RTC) is the ‘religion’ of slave traders, when Christians held slaves, they were in a position CONTRARY to Christian teaching (indentured servants, are not slaves). When people calling themselves ‘christians’ behave as muslims, they cease to be Christians. This statement is dishonest, as well as ignorant drivel.
“You’re all condeming all Muslims”
Not even close. Pity reading and understanding the article, is so far beyond what your level of brainwashing can defeat.
” and taking islam as a bad religion coz you don’t know what islam is all about.”
We condemn and loath islam, COZ it is a beyond a bad religion, it is the most vicious crime committed against human beings, ever. That we know this, is because we know the truth about islam, what it says, and what its sub-animal history consists of.
“You only believe what the media says.”
No, fools who rely on the dhimedia, are the fools who swallow your lies…. The dhimmedia FLATLY REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM.
“Islam is a religion of peace whether you believe it or not. We are all against terrorism because terrorism has no religion nor race. You may call Islam with all bad names you know of but Islam won’t perish.”
The only ‘peach’ is islam, is the peace of the grave. If you seriously think otherwise, you are ignorant, and/or mentally ill. Terrorism is the basis of any ‘success’ that islam has ever had, even your mythical, sub-animal prophet acknowledged this. Why are you calling your so called prophet, a liar? Do you know you will roast in a sadistic hell, for doing that?
Either islam with cease to exist, or the human race will cease to exist.

“peach’ is” should obviously be ‘peace’ in’ Even peaches are smart enough to reject islam (RTC).
