“You have heard us, before multiple audiences of different political stripes, refuse to bend to the political pressure to call terrorism ‘Islamic’ extremism. We know that ISIL, though it claims the banner of Islam, occupies no part of your religion, which is founded on peace.”
He knows that? How does he know that?
“Your story is an American story, told over and over again, generation after generation, of waves of people who struggle for, seek, and will eventually win your share of the American dream. Know the history of this country and you will know that — whether it’s Catholic Americans, Jewish Americans, Mormon Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Japanese Americas, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, or Muslim Americans — this will be true.”
Yes, you remember when Catholic Americans, Jewish Americans, Mormon Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Japanese Americas, African Americans, Hispanic Americans flew those planes into the towers, and bombed the Boston Marathon, and murdered 13 Americans in cold blood at Fort Hood, and four in Chattanooga, 15 in San Bernardino, and 49 in Orlando, and tried to commit mass murder at Garland and so many other places. You remember those global terror organizations made up of Catholics, Jews, Mormons, Irish, etc. committing acts of violence around the world, and threatening the imminent conquest of the U.S. and the rest of the free world.
The Obama administration’s solicitude is entirely one-way, toward Muslims as victims of discrimination, which is false and inaccurate in the U.S. anyway. Meanwhile, the jihad advances, as do Islamic supremacist attempts to assert Sharia norms over American norms. Johnson had nothing to say about such things, or about the unaccountable phenomenon of so many Muslims in the U.S. adhering to the version of Islam that he assures us is un-Islamic.
“Jeh Johnson tells American Muslims, ‘Your story is the quintessential American story,’” by Abigail Hauslohner, Washington Post, September 4, 2016:
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson delivered an impassioned speech Saturday night at the annual Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) conference in Chicago, holding forth on the subject of Muslim empowerment in America….
Here is the text of Johnson’s speech in full:
…As part of that, it’s a great privilege for me to be present in person here today, to speak to this full convention of the Islamic Society of North America. I’m told I am the highest ranking U.S. government official and the first sitting cabinet officer to ever speak in person before this convention. I welcome that, as you have welcomed me. I am proud to have broken that glass ceiling, and to have created the expectation, in the future, that government officials of my rank will attend your annual convention.
President Obama has made it a priority for his administration to build bridges to American Muslim communities.
In 33 months as your Secretary of Homeland Security, I have personally visited American Muslim communities in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, rural Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Detroit, Dearborn, Chicago, Columbus, Houston, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles. I have come to know many of you, and I hope you know me.
You have heard President Obama and me call out the discrimination and vilification you face in this current climate.
You have heard us say that the self-proclaimed Islamic State is neither Islam nor a state; that it is a group of terrorist attempting to hijack your religion.
You have heard us, before multiple audiences of different political stripes, refuse to bend to the political pressure to call terrorism “Islamic” extremism. We know that ISIL, though it claims the banner of Islam, occupies no part of your religion, which is founded on peace.
After I am gone as Secretary, I hope you will always regard us as your Department of Homeland Security, aligned in interest with you for peace, the safety of your family, and the protection of your homeland. I hope you will always regard our new Office of Community Partnerships as your partner.
Tonight, in this last and biggest opportunity I will have as your Secretary of Homeland Security to address an audience of some 10,000 Muslim Americans all at once, I want to take our conversation to a new level.
A leader of this organization reminded me that, we spend a lot of time telling young Muslims in this country what you should not become. A more effective message is to tell you what, in this great country, you can become. We must not simply curse the darkness, but offer a candle.
Tonight I will not look at the large group of Muslims before me in this room through a homeland security lens. Tonight I will not talk to you about counterterrorism. Tonight I will simply address you as who you are, “my fellow Americans.”
Tonight I speak especially to the young people in this audience, and to your parents worried about your future.
Many of the young people in this room worry that, because of the current climate, your religion, your skin color, and your attire, you will never win full acceptance in this country.
I come before you tonight to assure you this is not true. Your struggle for full acceptance in this country is one you will win.
How do I know this? Because my African American ancestors and I have traveled a similar road.
I hear your stories of discrimination, vilification, and of the efforts to tar you with the broad brush of suspicion.
I hear about the bullying and physical attacks that Muslims (and those perceived as Muslim) are experiencing nationwide.
They are familiar to me. I recognize them. I look out on this room of American Muslims and I see myself. I see a similar struggle that my African American ancestors have fought to win acceptance in this country.
Realize it or not, your story is the quintessential American story.
Your story is an American story, told over and over again, generation after generation, of waves of people who struggle for, seek, and will eventually win your share of the American dream. Know the history of this country and you will know that — whether it’s Catholic Americans, Jewish Americans, Mormon Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Japanese Americas, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, or Muslim Americans — this will be true.
The arc of the American story is long, it is bumpy and uncertain, but it always bends toward a more perfect union.
Some of you are frustrated that you have been publicly denouncing violent extremism for years, sometimes at your own peril, and have not been recognized for it.
Some of you are discouraged that you must continually point to the patriotism of American Muslims, by pointing to your military service, and to those American Muslims who have died in combat for our country….

Nothing ISIS are doing can be called “unIslamic”. That’s a FACT.
The world’s largest authority on Sunni Islam, Al Azhar University, has refused to denounce ISIS on Islamic grounds. Please use the link for any articles relating to US/ISIS:

Dave says
The man is a blathering idiot. The Islamic community has not stated as its common goal , assimilation. Why does he assume that it is their quest? He then blames the rest of us for their failure to assimilate . What a maroon!
b says
The Islamic idea of assimilation is well known everybody must assimilate into Islam. We must also tolerate everything about their religion while they do not tolerate anything outside their religion
Lesley says
@Dave: I have often felt like Jeh Johnson is a fool. Now, I wonder if there is a more insidious nature behind his actions.
Check Drudgereportfor. com for a headline about Department of Homeland Security being hacked… Jeh Johnson is saying that the Dept. may declare our electoral system ‘critical infrastructure’ whose security may have been compromised and possibly suspend the election until it can be secured.
These are dark times indeed :-/
Pandoba Dhondiba says
Why don’t we all understand the simple fact that the root of the so called Islamic problem of Taliban, ISIS , Al-Quaida etc is the Sunni Salafi state of Saudi Arabia which is the source of financing all such evil that has been spreading all around the world and more specifically in Europe & USA ! The Muslim population in Europe and USA looks to this “holy” desert land called Saudi Arabia because their Holy Prophet was born there and it is their “Jerusalem” ! Alas ! Allah has bestowed the whole desert continent of Arabia with 55% of world’s stock of crude oil for want of which every US President, be he a Republican or Democratic , has been going soft in taking any action against those silently criminal nations of Arabia ! Remember those 11 missing pages of 9/11 report which are on the Saudi financing of the aviation training of those two Arab pilots in USA which enabled them execute the ghastly act of 9/11 in USA ?
linnte says
Jeh Johnson is a Muslim! What better motivation is there? ?

maghan says
The Muslims in West Africa are black. They have no ancestors in the Middle East where the bona fide Arabs live.
In fact, the people who became slaves in the Americas were mainly war prisoners who were bartered off for muskets, cannon and petty trade items. See the text “A Slaver’s Log–20 Years of Slaving on the West African Coast” by Theo Conaut.
Many were just kidnapped and trucked from the interior of West Africa down to the coast to be bartered or bought by hagglers on the waiting slave ships. Google the names of captives such as Suleiman Ben Job, Gustavus Vassa, Mahomma Baquaqua, Ajai Crowther–to get an idea of how the slave captive business was carried out.
The Slave Trade was an equal opportunity business. Demand created its own supply–as in the present day case of “people smugglers” or “sex slavers” as in Mexico and Eastern European respectively. Both Muslims and non-Muslims were involved.
Kepha says
Good points, Maghan. I suspect what many do when they bring up Muslim slave trading is note that Muslims–African and Middle Eastern–engaged in the African slave trade long after European powers abolished it, and did not go out of business until the fourteen-times-accursed European imperialists forced them to shut down.
I do not mean to exonerate pre-Wilberforce Europeans. But I think it noteworthy that Mauretania and northern Sudan are still engaging in a slave trade; Saudi Arabia didn’t officially abolish slavery until the 1960’s and, as V.S. Naipaul observed, still winks at it unofficially; and that when slavery is uncovered in the West, it is usually in the house of a wealthy Muslim immigrant or jet-setter.
maghan says
Angemon,
A core Western value is “freedom”. Clearly the African captives on the plantations were voraciously wishing to be “free”. So how is that value not compatible with “core Western values”?
Angemon says
maghan posted;
“Clearly the African captives on the plantations were voraciously wishing to be “free”.”
So do condemned criminals nowadays – doesn’t mean that they’ll get it. Anyway, unless Johnson’s ancestors were adhering to a creed that’s fundamentally opposed to core Western values (whether or not they were slaves), his comparison is utter rubbish.
Jay Boo says
“After I am gone as Secretary …”

Wellington says
Jeh Johnson knows virtually nothing about Islam or he knows a great deal about Islam.
Whichever, the effect is essentially the same.
Jon Sobieski says
Jeh Johsson strikes me as a bitter man with a deep prejudice against the white race. As usual, JJ knows that Islam is a problem, but sees it as destructive to the Western civilization and the hated white race and that makes them an ally..
maghan says
Many Muslims are white as in the case of Assad of Syria and his wife, Assad pere was also white. Just that Johnson is stupid–a willing tool of Obama’s wild fantasies about Islam and Muslims.
Anyone who says that the “sweetest sounds he ever heard were the Muslim’s call to Prayer” must be some kind of benighted fantasist.
Keys says
Obama’s remark about the “sweetest sounds” comes from the heart of his formative years.
US Americans ought to be reminded of those comments often until it sinks in.
PRCS says
If you’re correct, which you might well be, he’s doing so as another component of Barry O’s ongoing program to “fundamentally change America”.
linnte says
I heard with my own ears, during the Clinton email inquiry where Jeh Johnson was answering questions from Trey Gowdie (sp), Trey was speaking bout something Islamic and Jeh Johnson said “it offends me that you speak about my religion like that”. He admitted to being a Muslim. The director of Homeland Security is a Muslim.
PRCS says
Very good point.
Westman says
Welington,
Did you catch the implicit misdirection?
“Some of you are frustrated that you have been publicly denouncing violent extremism for years, sometimes at your own peril, and have not been recognized for it.”
Peril at whose hands for denouncing extremism? He hangs the Scarlet Letter upon Infidels when it is, in fact, other Muslims, “brothers” in the “Religion Of Peace”, who threaten violence to the denouncers.
Keys says
Well stated point, Westman. I believe that “misdirection” is a type of taqiyya, probably mortimer’s #3.
from prior mortimer posts:
“Muslims have six different authorized methods of deception:
1•Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
2•Kitman: deceit by omission.
3•Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
4•Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
5•Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
6•Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia to make Muslim migrants appear ‘moderate’.”
Wellington says
Jeh Johnson’s middle name, Westman, ought to be “Misdirection.” Would be so fitting. I’ve heard him speak several times now on TV and he’s pretty slick the way he says profoundly incorrect or dumb things.

Question is : how much Americans believe such a man ? I would like to know what is going in the head of silent Americans . Do they buy all this stuff? Are they completely afraid od Islam ? Do they just wait to kik out Clinton and democrats out o White House ? What is realy on their mind?
maghan says
The truth is that most are very ignorant of world and local affairs. They have very short attention spans and very rarely read except the dumb messages they read on their confounded smart phones. The are moved by pictures and not by words.
For many females–it is just a big thrill that Hillary is running. They will vote for her regardless of her crimes against the state. Do they know about such crimes? Not really. If they knew they just don’t care.
Ask them about Benghazi and they would reply–“Ben who”? “Who is that”?
PRCS says
A visit to twitter, Facebook, or to just about any website at which Muslim violence is being discussed and the ignorance of even those opposed to Islam’s beliefs and teachings becomes apparent with the use of phrases like “radical Islam”, “radical Islamic terrorism”, “violent extremism”, and other nonsense–as though they are accurate descriptions of the subject.
Wellington says
It’s mixed, Carmel. A growing number of Americans have come to have a negative view of Islam. Certainly far more do than twenty-five years ago, even ten years ago. Many have actually educated themselves to some extent about Islam while others haven’t taken the time to study this terrible religion but their gut tells them that Islam is not just another religion, that it is bad news (I think Donald Trump could be placed in this latter group). These numbers will only continue to increase and will never go down. Then there are the indifferent Americans who tend to be indifferent about everything in life except themselves. Such people of course can be found in any country. Finally, there are the true fools, “useful idiots” perhaps is a more accurate term, who so despise traditional America (and Western Civilization in general) that they will align with anyone or anything that is an enemy of America as it has existed. Almost without exception these people can be found on the left side of the political spectrum, only the degree of leftism being a variable.
I remain cautiously optimistic that more and more Americans will continue to “get” Islam. Donald Trump’s popularity with millions serves as partial evidence of what has occurred so far (though Trump is popular of course for more reasons than just his stand on Muslim immigration because loads of Americans are just sick of the nonsense in Washington overall). The polls tend to show that as much as 60% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Islam. This is cause for optimism I would argue. And again, this percentage will continue to rise as Islam reveals itself to more and more for what it really is, i.e., the oldest, best-disguised totalitarian ideology in mans history which often successfully hides behind its religious veil.
Don’t get discouraged. I mean what’s the point? Might as well go down fighting instead of being a submissive dhimmi. Besides, there’s a good chance the good guys will prevail in the long run. Gonna’ be a nasty affair though. Oh yeah. Islam is a burden to mankind like no other burden that has ever existed. I hold out a good bit of hope however that America will come to the rescue of the West again, but perhaps it is best to keep in mind what the Great Man, Winston Churchill, said of America, which he often fondly called the Great Republic, to wit, that America always does the right thing after exploring every other possibility.

Jeh says to ISNA: “Your story is an American story … of waves of people who struggle for, seek, and will eventually win your share of the American dream.”
The struggle required of all Muslims is jihad, and it has nothing to do with freedom and living as equals under law. The goal of jihad is the Islamization of everyone, not life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The goal of Islam, echoing your boss, is to “fundamentally change America”; that change is ultimately Sharia. Muslims do not, and can never, share the American dream without apostasizing.
Jeh, your job is to protect Americans from our enemy, and you do not even know who the enemy is !

In reading the comments here, he just might actually think WE are the enemy.

The man is clueless: Muslims constitute the only immigrant group that seeks the destruction of the American way of life. Others have come here to be free, safe, to thrive, or because they were forced to (slaves, indentured servants).
PRCS says
You’re assuming that he’s clueless.
Peter says
Repeat after me: The man is clueless. Of course, I am assuming he’s clueless. His statement before a Muslim Brotherhood front group that the Muslim experience is quintessentially American makes that clear. (Unless, of course, he is forecasting a day when the U.S. Muslim community faces the same scrutiny and persecution as the Germans, Italians, and Japanese communities did when their home nations waged war on the U.S. For that to happen, the U.S. government and population would need to be aware of and respond to the fact that Islam in an active self-declared war against the U.S., the West, and the Rest of non-Muslim humanity.)

There is no doubt in my mind that there is at least one (there are probably many independent plans – one by Iran, one by Saudi Arabia, one by ISIS, one by Obama, OIC, …) “well laid out plan” to Islamicize the USA.
It may be prudent to assume he is part of one of them.
davej says
Disturbing.
He apparently has no knowledge of Koranic teachings?
Or does he intentionally gloss over all the harder points in this kabuki theater of pretending that poor Muslims are unfairly maligned, rather than vice versa. He is a PR rep for the whole sorry business.

John Billings says
Jeh Johnson’s words should not surprise anyone. He is bought and paid for by the Islamic allies of the Obama administration, the head of which has repeatedly called the Qur’an “Holy”, but never has done the same for the Bible, in fact mocking it once or twice; who has spent years in an Indonesian madrassa; who speaks in terms of glowing approval of everything Islamic; who has repeatedly uttered the popular leftist lie that “Islam is a religion of peace”, thus ignoring not only current events but the entire 1400-year history of bloody Islamic conquest; and who has hosted an Islamic mass prayer gathering, but no such Christian prayer gathering ever, on the White House lawn (9/25/2009). The judgment is clear. Other nations, such as Germany and the rest of western Europe, may have leftist Muslim enablers as leaders, but only the US has a Muslim in the White House.
Jack Holan says
Robert, I don’t know what circles Jeh Johnson travels in or who feeds him all these stories of bias, physical and psychological discrimination but I neither I nor anyone I know have borne witness to these events. In fact, if he were to visit any University campus for any length of time he would discover Jews are truly physically and psychologically being discriminated against by the very people whom you claim are being harmed. The ISNA in many instances coordinates activities of the JVP and other alphabet guises they’ve set up. They attack Jewish students claiming it’s an Anti-Zionist protest. Is that painting with a broad brush Jeh or does that only work for Muslim Americans or African Americans. I’m sure you know that the ISNA is closely aligned to HAMAS a State Department Terrorist Organization that no American is supposed to have contact with and ISNA has been accused of just that in the past. Therefore prior to your engagement, there have been no one at the Cabinet level foolish enough to meet with them. Maybe you are bucking the rules for President Obama to start a new Chapter at the request of his benefactors the Muslim Brotherhood.
Florida Jim says

Cecilia Ellis says
“Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson delivered an impassioned speech Saturday night at the annual Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) conference in Chicago, holding forth on the subject of Muslim empowerment in America….”
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) remains as a named, unindicted co-conspirator, along with CAIR, in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terror-financing trial. Not only is ISNA linked to Hamas; ISNA originated in the Muslim Brotherhood. In 2013, Paul Manteiro, who then served as “Associate Director of the Office of Public Engagement, ‘cited ISNA as his primary means of outreach to the American Muslim community.’” [1] (Manteiro currently works for the Department of Justice, Community Relations Services.)
Now, the Secretary, Homeland Security, is delivering “an impassioned speech” to the Muslim Brotherhood’s primary means of White House “outreach” to Muslims in America. Ironically, in the Holy Land Foundation trial, in Attachment 1 to the U. S. government’s exhibit, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategy for the Group [Muslim Brotherhood] in North America,” ISNA is listed as Number 1, by the Muslim Brotherhood, as its organization in the United States. [2] That fact does not seem to bother either President Obama or Jeh Johnson, despite the fact that Egypt has declared the Muslim Brotherhood to be a terrorist organization.
As reported by Clarion Project in 2013, “ISNA also advises the Department of Homeland Security and almost certainly had its hands in the re-writing of counter-terrorism training guidelines that shield the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood from scrutiny.” [3]

This statement may be somewhat misleading in that President Obama addressed the ISNA convention in 2013, albeit by videotape. [4]

Yet, those fabricated “bullying and physical attacks” on Muslims leap right up to his primary concern. Disgusting!
