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

Washington Post: Donald Trump should probably stop talking about Muslims

Aug 19, 2016 7:27 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

No matter what Trump says, his words will be spun against him by leftist ideologues determined to see Hillary Clinton in the White House, as is evident in the article below, entitled “Donald Trump can’t stop talking about Muslims. He probably should.” The article asserts that Trump went from advocating a temporary ban on all Muslims to then officially backing away from that plan and proposing a ban on immigrants and refugees flowing in from dangerous regions, and now to making it clear “he’s not done applying extra scrutiny to Muslims.”

According to a Fox News article, “Donald Trump launched his campaign one year ago, and has been running against the ‘dishonest’ and ‘sleazy’ media ever since.”

The Washington Post evidently stood out, given the revocation of its press credentials by Trump right before he clinched the GOP nomination.

Trump posted on his Facebook page the reason he banned the WaPo from his campaign private events: “Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post.” The Trump campaign then issued a statement: “The newspaper covered the Republican candidate ‘inaccurately’….we no longer feel compelled to work with a publication which has put its need for ‘clicks’ above journalistic integrity.”

Needless to say, the WaPo continues its attacks against Trump.

Yet every day in the news, information pours in from around the world about Muslim migrant sex assaults on women and children, anti-Western and even murderous calls by imams on Western soil in mainstream mosques, calls by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda to murder Christians and infidels and to attack the West, renewed attacks and migrant crimes in Europe, lies from the Obama administration about the $400 million in ransom money paid to the rogue state of Iran and initially passed off as a deal to taxpayers and an installment of the reckless Iranian deal, Hillary Clinton’s email coverups and parents suing her for wrongful death and defamation over the jihad murders in Benghazi, and more.

What plan has Hillary Clinton come up with to keep Americans safe as the West endures a crisis of incursion by Islamic jihadists who have long declared war on us and who have been advancing and instilling terror in Western infidels, just as they promised to do?

Islamic supremacists with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood have infiltrated every sector in America (and in the Western world) through civilizational jihad. Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration have sold out the American people and have done so with impunity. The Washington Post needs to concern itself with the reality of  advancing Sharia and even with what that will mean to its own interests — hint, hint: the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the fallout from the film “The Innocence of Muslims” and the media witch hunt in Turkey. Even the most compliant media outlets (such as the Post) will eventually run afoul of Islamic speech restrictions.

Trump has outlined his plan to fight terrorism and hijra (jihad via immigration) as he continues his evolution in his campaign for the White House. He has no easy task, given the magnitude of the problems America faces — from the decline of respect for the US on the global front (thanks to Obama), to jihadist (stealth and violent) infiltration into the West, as well as the global war on terror, and economics and civil order. Had Trump stopped “talking about Muslims,” as suggested in the headline below, the Washington Post would be zeroing in what little Trump said months ago about shutting down immigration to Muslims, directly following the catastrophic Nice jihad attack. The WaPo will not hear of any evolution in Trump’s plans, or pay any attention to the genuine problems he is trying to address.

In fact, the WaPo is now using a divide-the-vote strategy, frantically fanning flames of division among Republicans, referencing what it refers to as a “dangerous seizure of the conservative movement by the alt-right.”

Something you likely will not find in the Washington Post, but was actually reported by Canada’s liberal CBC:

Last fall, Saba Ahmed went head to head with a Trump spokeswoman proposing to close mosques.

Now Ahmed is among a minority of Muslims voting for Trump saying Obama’s policies are failing Muslims.

And she’s not alone. A recent survey suggests seven per cent of American Muslim voters support Donald Trump.

Saba Ahmed is the founder of the Republican Muslim Coalition…

In Trump’s continued evolution, he will remain a target of the Washington Post, which is determined to escort Hillary Clinton to the White House, despite her scheming and being kept out of jail by “the politics of a presidential campaign.”

“Donald Trump can’t stop talking about Muslims. He probably should.”, by Aaron Blake, The Washington Post, August 18, 2016:

On Monday, Donald Trump officially backed away from his previous plan to temporarily ban all Muslims from coming to the United States,  instead proposing a ban on immigrants and refugees from dangerous regions and an ideological test — “extreme vetting,” in his words. In detailing these new plans, he didn’t even say the word “Muslim.”

But by Tuesday night, in the comfortable confines of a Sean Hannity-hosted town hall, Trump made clear he’s not done applying extra scrutiny to Muslims. He even suggested racial profiling might be in order.

“Whether it’s racial profiling or politically correct, we’d better get smart,” he said in the town hall, which aired Wednesday night. Trump also said Muslims needed to help root out extremism in their midst: “And if they’re not going to help us, they’re to blame also.”

Trump’s varying Muslim proposals have been controversial, to say the least, with people arguing they are unconstitutional or unworkable or even just plain un-American.

What we can say with certainty is this: They are just bad politics. They are the kind of thing Trump keeps doing because it worked in the primary and he doesn’t want to, or perhaps doesn’t know how to, change in the general election.

A new Pew Research Center survey is the latest to suggest Trump’s fixation on Muslims isn’t helping him become president. Pew asked people whether Muslims in the United States should be subject to more scrutiny than other Americans. Just 30 percent said Muslims should face more scrutiny, while 64 percent disagreed.

Even Trump backers were somewhat split. While 57 percent approved of additional scrutiny, 37 percent disagreed.

      Trump will continue to talk about Islamic terrorism, immigration, and the economy because it is these issues which won him the nomination. Americans want secure borders and to stop taking immigrants from countries where Jihad and misogynistic Sharia law are popular. I don’t trust WAPOs analysis of those polls as if you asked the questions in a different way, you would get different answers.

    Mr. Trump revoked Washington Post’s press credentials right before he clinched the GOP nomination.

    Good. Because Washington Post revokes (bans) conservative readers from posting on its heavily monitored, far-left website.

    Quit naming names. Quit describing the enemy for whom they really are. Everything is great. Muslims want what everyone else wants. ISIS is under control. There are no violent Muslims mixing in with the rest of the immigrants. Clock Boy was just building a clock. Black is white, up is down, and everything is great.

    If Trump stops talking about Muslims, his poll numbers will sag, then plummet. Anything the WaPo says to do, do the opposite. It’s that simple. The left in this country, and around the world, has lost any semblance of sanity and any sense of survival. They are now the Judas goats, telling us lies and just leading us to a civilizational slaughter and a new Dark Ages. Trump is not a savior, but he’s at least a step in the right direction, because he actually dares to mention that not everything is just fine.

        le moulin rouge,

        thanks for the list… i have read the Alan Bloom book but not the others…

        btw, i am finishing a book on Scientology called “A Piece of Blue Sky” by Jon Atack… the reason i mention this is that the parallels between Scientology and Islam are striking: both cults break down the logical and free-thinking mind by endless repetitions of drivel and minutiae (Scientology exercises / 5x daily Quran head-bangings)…. both cults called themselves a “religion”… both cults cut off the believer from relatives, friends and the rest of the world plus harsh penalties for apostasy… both cults divide the world into believers and un-believers…. both cults invented laughable fairy-tales which, however, get swallowed by fairly intelligent people only because of the endless brain-washing which accompanies them etc etc etc

        So it strikes me that it might be a very profitable exploration of the parallels between the two “religions”… AND how one can create a successful plan of attack to expose the cult of Islam and shut it down…. i think lessons can be learned that would be helpful to combat the threats of Islam

          Adrian,

          Interesting comment as I was thinking about “Data Overload.”

          A story comes to mind from the late Journalist, Jack Anderson, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Anderson_%28columnist%29

          He was investigating overspending and waste by the U.S. Military. The U.S Air Force was purchasing Fighter Jets with all the bells and whistles. His investigation uncovered 2 situations caused by all the bells and whistles:

          1. High maintenance costs and a lower efficiency rate.

          2. Pilots were suffering what Jack Anderson called, “Data Overload.” They started to turn off some of the bells and whistles.

          The Israeli Air Force bought the same Fighter Jets without all the bells and whistles and had a better efficient rate with less stress on their pilots.

          In addition I think that the strategy posited by Cloward-Piven, http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/02/the_clowardpiven_strategy_of_e.html, is applicable to any situation. The strategy is designed to overwhelm and destroy.

          Adrian- I too was struck by the parallels between Scientology and Islam after reading “Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief” by Lawrence Wright. Both belief systems enslave their followers and brainwash them. The parallels are not exact of course, but I would definitely recommend the book to anyone here at J-watch.

        • Samsara says

          Aug 21, 2016 at 9:44 am

          I can’t help but be fascinated by the parallels between Islam and all those devil worshipping cultists in those 80’s satanic panic era horror movies.. Infiltrated in every layer of society, perverted obsession with virgins/children, wearing sinister robes and chanting the same creepy mantras over and over and of course human sacrifices to appease their dark deity, preferably performed with a knife/machete/ceremonial dagger. The parallel ends however with the “satanists” keeping their diabolical affiliations secret rather than public and government sponsored like their Muslim counterparts..

        • le mouron rouge says

          Aug 21, 2016 at 2:27 pm

          Hi Samara,

          It seems that the question is, “Why do we believe what we believe.”

          The History of man is the seeking after truth. One can gather so much information and when there is no more information, it’s time to make a decision.

          Albert Einstein suffered what I like to call – “the blind spot.”

          It’s something like looking into a motor vehicle’s side view mirror and not seeing the vehicle in the opposite lane, the vehicle exists, the fact that the driver failed to see it, doesn’t change the fact that it exists, especially if that failure causes a motor vehicle accident.

          Try telling that to the Police when they arrive, “I didn’t see that vehicle, therefore it doesn’t exist, and therefore I’m not responsible for my actions.”

          Albert Einstein when he was working on his General Theory of Relativity added a “fudge factor” which he later called “his greatest blunder.”

          He refused to accept the conclusion of his equation, which was, “the Universe is expanding” and if that were true then the Universe had a beginning, and thus a beginner.

          Mr. Einstein modified the equation with the “fudge factor” to conform to the “group think of the day” that the Universe was stagnant, that it had always been there.

          Occam’s Razor – http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/occam.html

          I tend to think that in general there are those who sincerely seek after the truth and those who simply enjoy the challenge of the argument, a lover of words.

          I would like to think that you are a seeker of truth.

          Thank you for the intelligent dialogue.

          Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

          The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

They all know any non-Muslim living in a majority Muslim, community, region, state or country lives in a living hell of constant threats, attacks and abuse. They all know that given the opportunity, they would destroy any democratic country. They all read the Koran, ” the biggest, filthy lie, ever told.

    Donald Trump is a rarity in today`s political landscape; a compassionate man of action combined with the proven leadership qualities so necessary to the office which he aspires to at this critical time in America and in the world. Donald Trump recognizes the perilous times in which we live, and is unafraid to do what is necessary to defeat the maniacal devotees of the radical Islamic death cult which threaten the United States, Christendom, and the foundations of western civilization. We live in a time when many politicians and a complicit main stream media lack the integrity to correctly identify our enemies, and in some cases advocate positions which, it is sad to say, only serve to facilitate the evil ambitions of radical Islam. It is because of Donald Trump`s vision for his country, his love for the United States, it`s people and traditions that he is indefatigable in his efforts and campaign to restore America`s greatness and safety. It is these qualities of true statesmanship which differentiate Donald Trump from his opponent and his detractors. It is his well defined positions on critical issues such as radical Islam which will present voters with a unique opportunity to choose a candidate who will first and foremost represent America and her people`s best interests.

That my friends is nothing more than an armed theology that seeks to overthrow our constitution and replace it with theocratic “sharia” law.

    What is wrong with journalists in USA? Have they all be brainwashed into politically correct cultures relativism or paid b y Saudis and other Muslim shekels as Clintons are?

      Hi Steve,

      I like your enthusiasm, however, I disagree with the assessment that saving our nation is our first priority.

      Our first priority should be getting back to the basics, back to the fundamental principles that made this country great.

      “As I see it, only God can be all-powerful without danger, because his wisdom and justice are always equal to his power. Thus there is no authority on earth so inherently worthy of respect, or invested with a right so sacred, that I would want to let it act without oversight or rule without impediment (p. 290).”
      – Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

      “America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
      – Alexis de Tocqueville

      “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.”
      – Alexis de Tocqueville

      Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
      – John Adams

      Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.
      – Thomas Jefferson

      I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
      – Thomas Jefferson

      It is my opinion that America achieved greatness because America was founded on Judeo/Christian principles that guided the Founding Fathers to produce the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.

      The Left desperately wants to eliminate God and the Bible along with the Constitution of the United States so they can rule with impunity, no restraints, no Rule of Law.

      The Law is then what they say it is, no point of reference to fall back on, no moral compass.

      Something like a ship, before modern technology, attempting to come to port, especially a difficult port to enter and the point of reference, the Lighthouse has been taken away.

      Moments matter. Live them well.

        Call me naive, but I still believe people can be good and just even when they don’t believe in stories about guys made from clay or about talking snakes or people hanging out unharmed inside a fish for days or gods fathering themselves from virgins just so we can kill them in order to be forgiven for the disobedience of some girl that was made out of a dude’s rib when the world was young.. Gullibility does not equal morality, today has no use for your bible.

          Hi Samsara,

          Your comment highlights one of the principles that made America great, “the freedom of speech.”

          “Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.
          – Abraham Lincoln”

          “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
          – Abraham Lincoln

          @ mouron rouge:

          No doubt god is always right.. I mean if it managed to design and create our whole universe I think it’s safe to assume it would know right from wrong.. Now we just need to figure out what it wants us to do. Somehow I doubt that fanciful myths about guys splitting oceans in two or talking to burning bushes or returning from the grave or ascending to heaven on a magical horse are the best way to unlock this cosmic mystery, as entertaining as such stories may be.

          After all, does our (civilized world’s) polar opposite, to wit IS(IS) not equally claim to be on god’s side?
          Just because a half crazed middle eastern guru claims he speaks for the almighty doesn’take it so..

          Hi Samsara,

          It seems that the question is, “Why do we believe what we believe.”

          The History of man is the seeking after truth. One can gather so much information and when there is no more information, it’s time to make a decision.

          Albert Einstein suffered what I like to call – “the blind spot.”

          It’s something like looking into a motor vehicle’s side view mirror and not seeing the vehicle in the opposite lane, the vehicle exists, the fact that the driver failed to see it, doesn’t change the fact that it exists, especially if that failure causes a motor vehicle accident.

          Try telling that to the Police when they arrive, “I didn’t see that vehicle, therefore it doesn’t exist, and therefore I’m not responsible for my actions.”

          Albert Einstein when he was working on his General Theory of Relativity added a “fudge factor” which he later called “his greatest blunder.”

          He refused to accept the conclusion of his equation, which was, “the Universe is expanding” and if that were true then the Universe had a beginning, and thus a beginner.

          Mr. Einstein modified the equation with the “fudge factor” to conform to the “group think of the day” that the Universe was stagnant, that it had always been there.

          Occam’s Razor – http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/occam.html

          I tend to think that in general there are those who sincerely seek after the truth and those who simply enjoy the challenge of the argument, a lover of words.

          I would like to think that you are a seeker of truth.

          Thank you for the intelligent dialogue.

          Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
          – Lord Acton

          The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
          – Jeremiah 17:9

          I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
          – Jeremiah 17:10

          @ mouton rouge

          Thank you for your civil and well thought out response to my perhaps unnecessarily provocative words.
          Do note I was not argueing against (or for) the existence of a higher intelligence, how the universe came to be or other such semi-philosophical issues, I would hardly consider myself qualified to speak with authority on those.
          However I do admit it “pushes my buttons” to see a problem as severe as global jihad, which affects us all and which I have impotently watched turn my beloved European homeland into a Mohammedan craphole and which is based on the obviously unrealistic claims of a desert madman, be countered by equally unrealistic delusions based on merely a different book.
          I say forget about scripture, islamophobia, PC, MC and judeo-Christian memories and instead focus on the cold hard reality hat there is one very large segment of the worlds population that is holding a gun to the rest of the worlds population and is itching to pull the trigger. We need to figure out how this threat can be neutralized before we are neutralized.

          Peace

          Hi Samsara,

          One of my favorite authors is Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage, Maggie, A Girl of the Street, The Open Boat, etc.

          Why?

          He was a gifted individual, he had the ability to convey a message, paint a picture as it were in the fewest possible words.

          Please allow me the courtesy of embellishing a little: Stephen Crane would use One Hundred words, where another author would use a Thousand words and still not capture the moment.

          So, I apologize for my verbosity and my failure to emphasize the main point, which is, “Why do we believe what we believe.”

          The answer to that question may answer your statement: “We need to figure out how this threat can be neutralized before we are neutralized.”

          I tried to use examples that would emphasize that point, apparently, I failed. Please accept my apology.

          It seems to me that those who profess a particular Religion do so for no other reason than they were born into that Religion, they simply accept it as true.

          I was born and raised as a Christian, a Roman Catholic. My parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc., where all Roman Catholics. As I matured and eventually went out on my own, I started to question my Faith, being a Christian and especially a member of the Roman Catholic Church.

          After a long struggle with those questions I accepted the Bible and what the Bible teaches and rejected the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, today I’m a Non-Denominational Christian.

          To me the Bible is:
          Basic
          Instruction
          Before
          Leaving
          Earth

          Politically speaking I was a registered Democrat as were my parents and grandparents. I grew up in an area that was extremely hard core Democrat. Today I’m a registered Republican and that is going to change to an Independent, no party affiliation.

          All of these changes came about by asking the question, “Why do I believe what I believe?”

          Again, one can only gather so information, then a decision has to be made.

          The threat of Islam will not subside until and unless there is a change in the heart of the individual Muslim. Until the individual Muslim starts to honestly ask the same question and be prepared to leave the Religion of Islam, a most unlikely prospect, the situation will only grow worse.

          I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    It’s important to remember, every second of every day, that for the leftist progressives, their “noble” ends justify the means; any means they deem necessary.

    Mr. Blake says, “What we can say with certainty is this: They are just bad politics.” What can be said with certainty is that Mr. Blake’s “certainty” is his subjective opinion.

    Whatever Donald Trump says or does will be portrayed by the Democratic media machine, as bad politics as if “good politics” is only and exclusively that practiced by the democratic party and their current front runner, in 2016, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

    FOX News hammers away at this corrupt, media bias edifice every day. The result? According to the political pollsters Ms. Clinton is ahead and has consistently been ahead of Mr. Trump from single to double digits; a woman who lies through her teeth, has a stone cold heart, and is surrounded by scandal.

    How is this possible? It can only be because the average adult American is developing their views on current events from publications and media controlled and staffed by the likes of Mr. Blake who view the end game as a socialist, government controlled, nanny state, the leftist progressive version of Utopia, run by an elusive intellectual elite who are primarily self absorbed, pompous jackasses. Hillary or whatever hack can be sold to a gullible public (in her case as in Obama’s being the 1st POTUS from among their gender or race respectively) will be the figurehead surreptitiously controlled by anyone, anywhere wealthy enough to control the “elitists in charge” and comfortably endure the consequences of their self aggrandizing perfidy.

    This is the snake pit that domestic politics has become. The potential downfall of this noble experiment in government of, by and for a people who comfortably enjoy an envious lifestyle and allow themselves to become complacent, irresponsible, historically ignorant and devoid of the daily despair and misery that was the initial motivation for its creation.

    I see a number of comments that nailed it about the Wash Post. Do the opposite of whatever they recommend. You’ll be better off. That goes for the NY Times and other outlets of the lame stream media.
