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

Green Party VP candidate wrote essay for book claiming Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre perpetrated by CIA and Mossad

Aug 13, 2016 12:54 pm By Robert Spencer

This article is intent on demonstrating that Jill Stein is not a doctrinaire Leftist, as if that were a bad thing. It certainly demonstrates that she is a bit shifty, with her hasty deletions of her off-the-Leftist-reservation support for Brexit and Elie Wiesel. But her running mate Ajamu Baraka’s contribution to a book that ascribes jihad mass murder to the CIA and Mossad — that’s right in line with the Leftist determination to absolve Islam from all responsibility for the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings.

Baraka has also described a march in support of the victims of the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre as a “white power march.”

“Friends Don’t Let Friends Vote for Jill Stein: The Green Party presidential candidate presents herself as an authentic progressive alternative. She is not,” by Yair Rosenberg, Tablet, August 10, 2016:

This past weekend, Jill Stein was officially nominated by the Green Party as its candidate for president of the United States. Here at Tablet, despite Stein’s Jewish background, we haven’t covered her campaign. In large part, this is because her story was eclipsed by the candidacy of Bernie Sanders, the most successful Jewish presidential candidate in American history. Indeed, unlike the Vermont senator, Stein has proved largely inconsequential to this point.

But at a time when a third of Sanders supporters still haven’t committed to backing Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump in the general election, where every percentage point will matter, Stein’s candidacy looms larger. Many good people are only just discovering her campaign, and wondering if she might be worthy of their vote. Which is why it’s time for responsible political observers to say what has been commonly understood among those who have followed Stein for years: Friends don’t let friends vote for Jill Stein.

To be clear, this post is not meant as a criticism of Stein’s supporters. In my experience, many of these well-meaning individuals imagine they are voting for a bold, progressive changemaker who won’t pander to special interests and who will demonstrate the knowledge and political courage to enact real reform. Even if Stein won’t win, these idealists believe that they are voting their conscience by backing the candidate who best represents their values.

The only problem is, upon closer inspection, Jill Stein bears no resemblance to such a candidate. Let us count the ways….

She expresses strong opinions on important issues, then completely reverses course with no explanation. In the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote in the U.K., Stein posted a celebratory statement on her website. “The vote in Britain to exit the European Union (EU) is a victory for those who believe in the right of self-determination and who reject the pro-corporate, austerity policies of the political elites in EU,” she declared. “Britain has spoken for much of humanity as it rejects the failed vision of a world that prioritizes profit for the few amidst hardship for the many. Now we must build on this momentum.”

This was a strange stance to take, since Brexit was largely opposed by progressive forces in Britain and Europe, and especially by young people. Stein was quickly hit with withering criticism from these quarters. But rather than defend her stance, Stein simply deleted and replaced her statement with an anti-Brexit one, with no explanation or apology.

A similar about-face took place upon the death of Nobel Peace Laureate Elie Wiesel. On her Facebook page, Stein praised the Holocaust survivor fulsomely in a tribute. Then, after the post was attacked by far-left anti-Israel activists on Twitter critical of Wiesel’s Zionism, Stein simply deleted it with no acknowledgement….

Meanwhile, earlier this year, Stein’s running mate, Ajamu Baraka, contributed an essay to a volume edited by Holocaust denier and 9/11 truther Kevin Barrett. The anthology’s title? Another False Flag? Bloody Tracks from Paris to San Bernadino [sic]. A veritable who’s who of bigots and conspiracy theorists, the book posits that the Charlie Hebdo attacks and many others were perpetrated by the CIA and Mossad….

This tendency to turn a blind eye to the abuses of despots is shared by Stein’s hand-picked running mate, Baraka, who deemed Bashar al-Assad, the dictator of Syria who has murdered hundreds of thousands of his own people, to be a man with democratic legitimacy….

    “Baraka has also described a march in support of the victims of the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre as a “white power march.””

    This black man is clearly a racist.
    He is overjoyed that white people were murdered in the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre.

    First and foremost , it’s clear to any person of intelligence and reason that the claim that the CIA and Mossad had perpetrated that Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre in France. .To ant thinking person understand the the CIA and Mossad had nothing to do with that murderous jihad massacre. Nevertheless, such nonsense is still part of “Freedom of the Press”as well as Freedom of Speech” in the United States Regardless of how much folly a book as this one contains. Second, not to get off the topic yet it also need to be said that the decks might need to be cleared. For as much as I deplore Islam because of it’s a false religion that it has many doctrinal errors and likewise false doctrines. It’s still a reality that Muslims are not Islam. So I don’t hate or dislike Muslims. With Muslims I feel comfortable. As the ancient Latin poet, Terence, wrote “I am a man, nothing human is alien to me.” For Muslims I feel sorry for because they have been thoroughly indoctrinated, trapped, and shackled by and in the false doctrines of Islam. This may be further explained by the following.
    The Greek philosopher Plato is one of the contributors to Western Civilization. He may shed some light into the subject of those people who are shackled in the chains and darkness of Islamic thought. In Plato’s REPUBLIC he gave an allegory of a cave where “the condition of men living in a sort of cavernous chamber…Here they have been from childhood, chained by leg and also by the neck, so that they cannot move and see only what is in front of them.” This can fit into what the Imams do in the mosques and how they brainwash the young people in the madrassa’s by always programming Islamic doctrine into their victims and not exposing them to other worldviews. Furthermore, even in Islamic tradition when Muslims have their newborn child the father whispers words of the Quran into the infants ear so that that Quran verses are the first thing the newborn person hears. This programming process takes place all their lives. These are some of the chains that keep them bound in a mosque [cave]. The chains do not let them reach out for dialectic reasoning and let them examine the evidence both for as well as against, or even question whether Muhammad was a true prophet of God or not, and if the Quran is a hoax or not. As the chains and darkness of the cave blinds and holds the prisoners back from reality, so Islamic propaganda holds back the cognition to reason with the question if Islam is true or not. They are forbidden from even thinking to question Islam. Furthermore, if a Muslim by some miracle wakes up to the truth about Islam, it would be like the man in Plato’s cave allegory who was released from his chains and taken outside to the real world. At first direct light would be painful and disorienting, it would take some time for him to understand what the truth is all about, he even might cling to the shadows and still for a time believe some of the illusions to be real. But he would finally come to know “what he had formerly seen was meaningless illusion.” And that was “what passed for wisdom in his former dewelling-place.”And that the other cave prisoners also needed to see the light [the truth] for he “was sorry for them.” and he would re-enter the cave just to rescue them. Nevertheless, the cave prisoners wouldn’t understand and “if they could lay hand on the man who was trying to set them free.” And if they could “they would kill him.” Likewise, when someone escapes from the shackles of Islam, those still in the darkness of this religion would not understand and if possible kill him for leaving Islam, and even more so if he were to try to enlighten them about the truth about Islam. For these people in Islam are chained to an empty imitation of truth and godliness.

      Thanks Walter for that an excellent appraisal and analogy. Islam brainwashes just as much as Fascism and Communism. Islam is perfect Mohammad was perfect so there is no need for questions.
      The best way to understand Islam is to listen to those who have left it, they alone are the ones who have seen the daylight.
      But are the extreme Christians (eg.evangelicals) and orthodox Jews who spend their whole lives studying the Bible or the Torah any better?
      At least they do not go about abusing and killing those who have open minds.

      • Kepha says

        Aug 14, 2016 at 9:04 am

        As an extreme (eg Evangelical) Christian who studies the Bible (thank God for his manifold grace) as well as various things needed for my work as a teacher, I note that my fundamentals allow me to recognize a common humanity–even in people like Hitler, Mao Zedong, Trotsky, and Pol Pot, who were clearly evil. We are born in sin and depend on grace for redemption.

        Perhaps the “hounds of Heaven” which the Holy Spirit used to chase me towards Christ included the precursors of Jill Stein and Amamu Baraka back in the Silly ‘Sixties and Sillier ‘Seventies. These were people who loudly touted themselves as “humanists”, decried “dehumanization”, yet just as loudly denounced anyone who questioned their idols as a “fascist insect”. Since I always loved the study of history, it opened my eyes to the possibility that the horrors of the 20th century were not so much the failure of Christian civilization as the various sects of Evolutionary Materialism working out their implications in a gruesome struggle for power.

        Also. while I am Jewish only tangentially and in the eyes of anti-Semites, I’ll note that it is not just Torah (properly, the Five Books of Moses) that the orthodox Jews study, but also the Talmud and Midrash. Indeed, these more than the Tanach itself seem to take up more time with them. This being said, for all my disagreement with them over whether M’shiach has come or not, I have a lot of respect for the orthodox Jews. Many whom I have met strike me as very respectful and intelligent people.

    They want raised taxes for billionaires. Wonder if that means raised taxes for those in Saudi-Arabia, Qatar and the Gulfstates as well?
    These countries do not do a thing to help starving peoples in their regions and vicinity or the whole world.
    Neither do they build strong armies to fight terrorgroups. Just talking about being against.

      There is a lot of vested financial interests in these states as many western companies have lucrative high tech projects there so no one is going to be critical of them.Western workers are treated well as they bring skills these countries want but unskilled workers from asia and other parts of the mideast have few rights and are poorly paid.
      Saudia Arabia financially supports terrorists as we know and has promised to built mosques in Germany to colonise that country while it wallows in its WW2 guilt trip !!

    They’re either in the Ummah or they’re not. Muslims won’t criticize their brothers, and why would they? They’re all following the rules of their Quran, which they believe is the literal word of their deity. Remember, no one gets to debate Allah. This is why Islam will NEVER be reformed. It can only be criminalized.
    Reforming Islam would deny the initial “perfection” of Allah’s word and Muhammad. This won’t happen in 10 years. This won’t happen in 10,000 years. Moreover, Muslims suggesting such reformation are guilty of Blasphemy, and are promptly executed.
    Emulating Muhammad (the liar, mass murderer, robber, rapist, and pedophile, “the perfect man”) is also mandatory.
    Isolationists suggest “containment” of Muslims as a solution, erecting giant walls, keeping the bad guys “over there.” Isolationism doesn’t work though. For starters, millions of Muslims are already living here among us. More Muslims will figure out ways to sneak in anyway, either in person, ICBM, or nuke on a container ship.

    • KnowThyEnemy says

      Aug 13, 2016 at 11:35 pm

      So if Islam-followers cannot be contained, as you say, what then is your solution?

      • Kiel says

        Aug 14, 2016 at 1:52 pm

        If criminalized Worldwide, this would exclude tenacious resisting Muslims from society, forcing them to live as animals in caves. Not even their patriarch bin Laden could stand that for very long, hence the 38,000 square-foot walled Abbottabad compound, complete with electricity, plumbing, toilets, TV, and the Internet.

        • KnowThyEnemy says

          Aug 14, 2016 at 2:54 pm

          I am not sure what you mean by “criminalized worldwide”. If you mean it should be criminalized by all [or most] governments worldwide, that is not going to happen. One or two countries banning Islam is plausible, banning by govts worldwide is not.

          If otoh, you mean that the US government should start seeing Islam as a criminal organization not only within the US but worldwide, that is possible, and is something that I and many other JW’ers are hoping to see. More accurately, we are hoping that Islam gets identified as a subversive and dangerous political and social ideology, and be treated the same way Nazism and Communism have been treated.

          In order to defeat Islam, we do not need to criminalize it worldwide. I strongly believe that if Islam is defeated (criminalized) in any one country, it will soon be defeated all over the non-Muslim world with little effort, and eventually worldwide (even in the Middle-East)! For this reason we should expose Islam wherever we live and should encourage people to vote for anti-Islam candidates. Currently in the US, Donald Trump is that candidate.

          So if you are American, vote for Trump 🙂 If you are not, encourage Americans (the ones you come across) to vote for Trump.

    who deemed Bashar al-Assad, the dictator of Syria who has murdered hundreds of thousands of his own people, to be a man with democratic legitimacy….

    The above is (a cut and paste) from the above article, attribute to Stein’s running mate.

    Back, a few years ago-perhaps more then a few- before Syria erupted into the disaster it is– Jimmy carter visited Syria. he (as reported by the Wall Street Journal)-told assad that he (Assad) is more of a true leader, then the Peres. of the US ( note, this was after Reagan carried 44 states against him in 1980); and praised him.

    Clinton (H) is also supposed to ahve praised Assad.

    So, he is in good leftists company.

    The problem is bigger than just Stein and her looney running mate. The Green Party itself resides in Leftworld. It is anti-capitalist, has raised environmentalism to a religion, is completely devoid of an understanding that peace comes through strength, does not see the value or greatness of Western Civilization (indeed values nature over civilization in general), is into whacky energy systems that don’t work and which would cost the tax payer plenty as would its stance against fossil fuels, and is no friend of true freedom.

    In short, the Green Party is part of Leftworld. Easily so.

    Green Party VP candidate wrote essay for book claiming Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre perpetrated by CIA and Mossad
    …………………………..

    Well, that’s just f*cking appalling. It is also laughable, given that Muslims have not just claimed responsibility for the massacre, had police investigations confirm it, and seen Muslims all over the world not just celebrating it, but threatening other journalists and cartoonists with more of the same if they dare criticize Islam.

    While I know a little bit about Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein, I have to admit I had completely missed her choice for VP.

    It turns out that Ajamu Baraka has criticized any military action against Jihad terror group Boko Haram. Instead of being horrified by their kidnapping of schoolgirls in 2014, he claimed that the numbers had been inflated.

    He has also claimed that the United States is responsible for Jihad atrocities in Syria.

    Sickeningly, he called a vigil for the victims of Charlie Hebdo a “white power march” and Je suis Charlie as an “arrogant rallying cry for white supremacy”.

    Unsurprisingly, he is irrationally inconsistent, referring to Jihad terror attacks both as “False Flag Operations” done by the West *and* as the the “chickens coming home to roost”. This latter is how describes the horrifying attacks on Paris, Brussels, and Orlando on his blog:

    http://www.ajamubaraka.com/blog/paris-orlando-and-turkey-displacing-the-narrative-of-western-innocence

    I was unaware of this creep and what a nasty piece of work he is.

    Jill Stein appears–from what I have seen so far–to be a fairly run-of-the-mill Green Party type–not someone you’d want as president, certainly, but still within the general fringes of civilized society. Ajamu Baraka is something much, much darker.
