In response, the former Secretary of State for a President who has given billions to the Islamic Republic of Iran accused Trump of treason, saying he was giving “aid and comfort to the enemy” with his rhetoric, which enabled the Islamic State to claim that the United States was at war with Islam.
So Clinton apparently believes that if the U.S. continues to refuse to acknowledge the motivating ideology behind jihad terror, the jihad force will be weakened, but if we do acknowledge it, that ideology will be strengthened. Her claim that the Islamic State recruits on the basis of alleged “anti-Muslim rhetoric” from Western politicians is based on the fact that the Islamic State and al-Qaeda often recruit on the basis of grievance narratives against the West. But Clinton ignores the fact that the Islamic State’s magazine is filled, issue after issue, with explanations of the Qur’an and Islam that make it clear that this isn’t ultimately a conflict about those grievances.
The Islamic State wrote in its Dabiq magazine recently: “Even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam.” No doubt they will continue to hate Hillary Clinton for not embracing Islam, no matter how much she employs comforting euphemisms rather than dealing honestly with the jihad ideology.
“Reporter to Clinton: Are You Concerned These Bombings Are ISIS Sympathizers or ‘Maybe the Russians’ Trying to Swing Election to Trump?,” by David Rutz, Washington Free Beacon, September 19, 2016:
Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Epstein asked Hillary Clinton on Monday if she was “concerned” that the bombings in New Jersey and New York were attempts by Islamic State sympathizers or “maybe the Russians” to influence the election in favor of Donald Trump.
Epstein repeated in her question Clinton’s line about Trump being “widely seen” as the candidate ISIS terrorists would prefer to become the next American president[.]
“Are you concerned that this weekend’s attacks or potential incidents in the coming weeks might be an attempt by ISIS or ISIS sympathizers, or really any other group, maybe the Russians, to influence the presidential race in some way, and presumably try to drive votes to Donald Trump, who is, as you’ve said before, widely seen as perhaps being somebody who they would be more willing to—or see as an easier person to be against?” she asked.
Clinton said she did not want to “speculate,” but added that much of Trump’s rhetoric had been “seized on” by terrorists who are looking to make this fight a war against Islam….
“Rather than a war against jihadists, violent terrorists, people who number in the maybe tens of thousands, not the tens of millions, they want to use that to recruit more fighters to their cause, by turning it into a religious conflict,” Clinton said. “That’s why I’ve been very clear. We’re going after the bad guys and we’re going to get them, but we’re not going go after an entire religion and give ISIS exactly what it’s wanting in order for them to enhance their position.”

A step in the right direction, but McCarthy is still operating under the delusion that there is good islam and bad islam.
jihad3tracker says
Yes, vlparker, you bring up a truly valid point.
A complete answer by me in support of McCarthy’s willingness to accept the existence of “good” Islam would take more time than I have now, and involves a broad public sector and social media effort toward American Muslims.
I am not trying to weasel out of a response, but McCarthy is one of our most intelligent writers and he was the U.S. Attorney who successfully prosecuted the Blind Sheikh involved in World Trade Center bombing #1.
Take some time to look up those prior posts at National Review.

heidi says
interesting article from a westerner, but core of the problem is ISLAM. The ones who continue to insist that they have the authority to dictate to scholars what islam is are seriously delusional. scholars determine what that their “religion” is. It’s like telling the pope he’s wrong. The scholars interpret, dictate, what true followers believe. if you don’t don’t like it, you’re an apostate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV6RLVclynY
jihad3tracker says
Hello heidi — Here is the last sentence in the 2nd to final paragraph of Andrew McCarthy’s National Review post that I linked above:
“The scriptures in question must be acknowledged and reinterpreted in a manner that confines them to their historic context and nullifies a literal interpretation of them in modern life.”
And your correct pushback against that, “The ones who continue to insist that they have the authority to dictate to scholars what Islam is are seriously delusional.”
Here is how the brilliant expert Dr. David Wood chimed in on that: “The Jihad Triangle” — 4 minutes and 56 seconds of lucid and funny truth. It is an explanation of “radicalization”, with this as the recruiter’s ultimate statement to a Westernized Muslim:
“Do you think you get to pick and choose which commands to obey, as if our religion is some sort of lunch buffet ??? Allah demands COMPLETE submission, and if you don’t obey, you’re not a real Muslim — you’re going to Hell.”
And, I would add, the recruiter then opens the Qur’an to Sura Nine, the last important chapter in CHRONOLOGICAL — not traditional — order containing commands abrogating earlier ones permitting peaceful relations with Infidels.
I am herewith bailing out of further comments on this thread —- other stuff to do. Adios, friends.
Shane says
The topic is whether ISIS and Islamists would prefer trump being president to clinton and I say they want Clinton. ISIS is like a bully who says he wants to take on the toughest guy in da hood, Trump, but never actually fights him. It’s obvious that Islamists want a president like Obama who never says a negative word about Islam or Mo, and who wants to continue to bring over 100,000 muslim immigrants and refugees into the USA every year. BTW, Obama wants to increase the number of muslim refugees into the USA to over 100,000 and these people will be on the dole for many years after their arrival. We will be paying Jihadis to kill us and rape our women and children!
weavo2 says
Hillary probably got these inane talking points from her muslim advisor Huma, who as noted may be her choice for Secretary of State in her administration.
One can’t make this stuff up 🙂

Lion of Judah's Cub says
When will Hillary admit that she and Obama actually gave aid and comfort to ISIS when it was still Al Quaeda and morphed into ISIS — through weapons and training and protection?
How about when local Kurdish soldiers alleged that the US was air dropping food, weapons and supplies to ISIS strongholds in Iraq. When will Hillary admit how Obama or his handlers prevented US military from bombing ISIS soldiers (approx. 8,000) storming into Mosul when their convoys were isolated from any civilians and could have been stopped before they grew into one of the largest terrorist organizations in the world. When will she admit that the US on-going support of the Muslim Brotherhood, the think tank behind ISIS and the global jihad, gave and continues to give aid and comfort to all terrorists and jihadists?
Lion of Judah's Cub says
And of course Huma is the Muslim Brotherhood princess.
Lion of Judah's Cub says
I have noted that all the claims and criticisms that legitimately exist against Hillary are being used as false claims against Trump. For example, untrustworthy, unfit for office, giving aid and comfort to terror, corruption, cover-ups, pay for play, real world negative consequences for intemperate actions, setting up the world for WWIII. It is called projection.
David M says
And Hillary’s lesbian lover. I’m surprised Hillary was able to stay conscious long enough to give this speech.
Lion of Judah's Cub says
Weavo,
I have just read the article you referenced. Huma Abedin would be third in line for the Presidency as Secretary of State. So the Muslim Brotherhood princess, a foreign born Sharia-promoting woman, would become President. Hillary’s health is precarious and Tim Kaine could easily be removed by jihadists within the administration ranks.
Michele Bachmann was attacked and vilified for speaking out against Huma and her ties to the Muslim Brotherhood through her parents and brother.
It is noteworthy that Dr. Drew Pinsky spoke out (and was then fired from CNN affiliate HLN) saying that the medical care Hillary is receiving is outdated and causing some of her health problems (including clotting disorders and dizziness). Is Huma, her handler, a double agent against Hillary herself?
Huma co-wrote an article with her mother praising and promoting Sharia Law in the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. The goal of jihad is not terror but to impose sharia law.

Well guess how ISS was armed from Libya to influence the Arab Spring in Syria, Hillary could provide some insights.

That is one of the worst kept secrets but for some reason it hasn’t surfaced.

Allan says
Clinton needs to get in touch with the facts. The Islamic State has fallen on hard times and appears doomed to dispersal, dismemberment, and destruction. They are a mere JV team compared to a varsity “Islamic State” called Iran.
Beagle says
I just want my nickle for every incorrect Pollyanna prediction of the demise of IS since June of 2014.
gravenimage says
True, Beagle. The idea that ISIS’s waging attacks all over the world is somehow a sign of weakness was flogged by John Kerry:
“Kerry: ‘Desperate’ jihad massacres show that the Islamic State is ‘on the run’”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/07/kerry-desperate-jihad-massacres-show-that-the-islamic-state-is-on-the-run
Certainly, I agree with Allan that Iran is a huge threat–but the idea that that perforce means that ISIS is not does not follow. And remember, it was Obama who dismissively referred to ISIS as the “JV team”, and yet, they are inspiring bombings and stabbings in our streets.
pennant8 says
Keep in mind that while Iran under the mullahs is a dangerous state, it is also a Shiite state. Shiites are a minority sect in Islam. ISIS is a Sunni organization, Sunnis are the majority sect in Islam. Shiites and Sunnis hate each other, but when comes waging jihad against the infidels they are willing to cooperate to some degree.

I don’t think that embracing Islam would be too much of a problem for Hillary, either. After all, she embraces Huma–Likely in more ways than one.

davej says
The underlying and root cause of these attacks is the ideology of Islam. It is openly hostile to all non-Muslims, always has been and likely always will be. This must be confronted and dealt with or we will see their war with us continue and escalate.
We can keep pretending that it is a peaceful and tolerant religion (with just a little mental illness and some “lone wolves”) or we can be brave and state the reality: people who believe in Allah and Muhammed and Sharia are fundamentally incompatible with civil society. .

Anyone who thinks that Trump is an “easier person to be against” compared to Hillary should get their heads examined. Cases in point: Obama’s birth certificate. Trump’s finger size. No, Trump is not someone I’d want to have a feud with. Hillary, on the other hand… Well, let’s just say that she could be the star of Weekend at Bernie’s 3:

“Journalist” asks Clinton if ISIS is attacking to try to swing election to Trump
…………………………
Well, that’s *just grotesque*–and completely unprofessional. It is also clearly absurd; ISIS is slaughtering Infidels in Europe, in Africa, in Asia, and, needless to say, in the Islamic State itself, as well as targeting the US and Canada.
The idea that they are only trying to kill people in order to sway the US elections is just ludicrous.
And talk about calumny; the implication clearly is that if Donald Trump were not running that Jihadists would not be bombing New York City, a charity race in New Jersey, and stabbing shoppers in Minnesota. Have they no shame?
More:
In response, the former Secretary of State for a President who has given billions to the Islamic Republic of Iran accused Trump of treason, saying he was giving “aid and comfort to the enemy” with his rhetoric, which enabled the Islamic State to claim that the United States was at war with Islam.
…………………………
Now *opposing ISIS* is treason? This is madness.
The Trump campaign responded:
“Hillary Clinton’s comments today accusing Mr. Trump of treason are not only beyond the pale, it’s also an attempt to distract from her horrible record on ISIS,” said Jason Miller, spokesman for the campaign.
Usually Trump is portrayed as the loose cannon, but clearly this is the voice of reason in this case.

The Islamic State wrote in its Dabiq magazine recently: “Even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam.” No doubt they will continue to hate Hillary Clinton for not embracing Islam, no matter how much she employs comforting euphemisms rather than dealing honestly with the jihad ideology.
…………………………
Exactly. ISIS–and all pious Muslims–consider both Donald Trump *and* Hillary Clinton to be nothing but filthy Infidels, both worthy of death.
The idea–constantly flogged by Hillary Clinton–that ISIS prefers Trump has no basis in fact. ISIS has never said they want Trump–this is just a particularly ugly campaign tactic from the Clinton campaign.
More:
“Are you concerned that this weekend’s attacks or potential incidents in the coming weeks might be an attempt by ISIS or ISIS sympathizers, or really any other group, maybe the Russians, to influence the presidential race in some way, and presumably try to drive votes to Donald Trump, who is, as you’ve said before, widely seen as perhaps being somebody who they would be more willing to—or see as an easier person to be against?” she asked.
…………………………
Shouldn’t Hillary Clinton simply be concerned about the injury and attempted murder of American citizens, separate from whether she thinks she can use it in her campaign? One would hope so–but apparently this Bloomberg reporter does not think so.
Also, accusing Russia is calumny here as well–they might try to hack us, but they are not bombing and stabbing Americans in the streets, nor are they apt to start. Our only danger in that regard is from Muslims.
More:
“Rather than a war against jihadists, violent terrorists, people who number in the maybe tens of thousands, not the tens of millions, they want to use that to recruit more fighters to their cause, by turning it into a religious conflict,” Clinton said.

It’s been a religious conflict on the part of the Jihadists for 1400 years now. Clinton is not paying attention. It doesn’t matter what she or Donald Trump or any other Kuffar has to say about it.

Matthieu Baudin says
Round and round we go on this false choice between being critical of Islam or acting as if Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. All that’s really required on the part of the leadership of today’s civilised world is to draw a line in the sand and state unequivocally that following through with acts of violence and intimidation, as articulated in the Koran and Hadiths, will not be tolerated. It is all about clearly stating consequences, to all those who think that they’re embarking on a sacred mission of murder and mayhem. Hillary is on track to win the battle for the Presidency and to lose the war against Islamic Terrorism.
mach37 says
The simple answer to the “journalist’s” question is that it is the dumbest question ever. Trump is harsher on Islam than most other politicians. Only Dr. Carson seems to have the same view – that Islam is not a religion worthy of being compared to ANY other religion because of what is in the Quran.
BC says
Hellary’s problem is her refusal to recognise that Islam IS at war with the US. 9/11 attack the US long before the IS was ever contemplated. Electing Hellary will just bring a continuation of Obama’s feeble and pusillanimous policies.
Carolyne says
But she has the Muslim Brotherhood’s princess whispering sweet nothings in her ear at all times. No wonder Carlos Danger strayed.
mortimer says
The ‘grievance theory’ of moral imbeciles like the Clintons does not explain Islam, because Islam explains Islam.
The ‘grievance’ in the Koran is that dirty Kafirs spitefully reject Mohammed and, therefore, they all deserve to be executed or enslaved.
That is what Islam teaches and what the jihadists believe with all their hearts.
