Jihad Watch

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

New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof: Respond to Trump by joining Hamas-linked CAIR

Nov 17, 2016 8:53 pm By Robert Spencer

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) A California chapter distributed a poster telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI, and a Florida chapter distributed pamphlets with the same message. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates.

The SPLC tars any group that dissents from its extreme political agenda as a “hate group.” Significantly, although it lists hundreds of groups as “hate groups,” it includes not a single  Islamic jihad group on this list. And its “hate group” designation against the Family Research Council led one of its followers to storm the FRC offices with a gun, determined to murder the chief of the FRC. This shows that these kinds of charges shouldn’t be thrown around frivolously, as tools to demonize and marginalize those whose politics the SPLC dislikes. But that is exactly what they do. Its hard-Left leanings are well known and well documented. This Weekly Standard article sums up much of what is wrong with the SPLC.

“A 12-Step Program for Responding to President-Elect Trump,” by Nicholas Kristof, New York Times, November 17, 2016:

Traumatized by the election results, many Americans are asking: What now? Here are steps that any of us can take that can make a difference at the margins. Onward!…

2. I WILL try to do small things in my own life, recognizing that they are inadequate but at least a start: I will sign up on the Council on American-Islamic Relations website, volunteering to fight Islamophobia. I’ll call a local mosque to offer support, or join an interfaith event. I will sign up for an “accompany my neighbor” list if one exists for my area, to be an escort for anyone who is now in fear….

5. I WILL support groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center that fight hate groups, and back the center’s petition calling on Donald Trump to disavow bigotry. Depending on my interests, I’ll support an immigration rights group, the A.C.L.U. or Planned Parenthood. And I’ll subscribe to a newspaper as one way of resisting efforts to squelch the news media or preside over a post-fact landscape — and also to encourage journalists to be watchdogs, not lap dogs….

          Yes, I watched that video recently actually. Affleck was a bigger disgrace than Kristof – at least Sam Harris was there to tell them some home truths.

      I doubt if this loud mouth hater of America cares anything about Islam. He only cares about his hatred of Israel, and the USA.. This clown, creepy at that, would never be excepted into the inter working of CAIR. He is only a shill for Islamic terror front. These groups like CAIR need to go, along with their supporters.

    They sure know how to manipulate us!

  6. SoCalMike says

    Nov 17, 2016 at 9:49 pm

    Cultural and political treason is really cool and hip.
    The scary thing is it’s been the guiding light of official foreign policy of the US government.

    Kristoff is just keeping the faith.
    He’s a traitor like Obama, Kerry and Hillary as well as Ryan, McConnell and the rest of the Repubes intent on inviting more waves of potential jihadis from jihad exporting countries.

  7. Karen says

    Nov 17, 2016 at 10:18 pm

    Subscribe to a newspaper to encourage “journalists” to be watchdogs, not lapdogs? That suggestion is self-serving, hilariously ridiculous and sad, all at the same time. The old school media are washed up.

    Here he is this moron Nicholas Kristof on Fox New. I am utterly dumbfounded by people who are actively engaged in treason against their own nation.

  10. Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says

    Nov 17, 2016 at 11:44 pm

    Here is an interview of Mr. Kristof about his twelve-step program to be a better person, including “volunteer to fight Islamophobia, join the ACLU, donate to Planned Parenthood, take on sexism and misogyny — sort of, all the Stations of the Cross of lifestyle liberalism.” It lasts 7 minutes.

      Bravo for the virtually simultaneous posts, PM and Mark!

      Of course, you can’t take on sexism and misogyny and support Islam–but the witless Kristof does not seem able to grasp that.

  11. Stan Lee says

    Nov 18, 2016 at 12:00 am

    Mr. Kristof has no problem denying that he, himself is not a bigot. However, he could not have taken root as part of the NY Times edifice had he not satisfied the bigot attitude of Times readers/oiwners who would automatically agree with him.Why not? He discovered the medium that satisfies the mutual opinions of himself, Times owners, editors, and its readers. That is why he writes what he does, he depends upon bigots to read his stuff and the bigots depend on Kristof to perpetuate their bigotry. He satisfies and justifies them.
    Conservatives believe what they see, Leftists see what they believe.

    This man will have no faith at all. He won’t be a church goer and he won’t and doesn’t understand the problem that his country faces. He is completely blind to the danger facing the civilised world. Does he think as others do ( mainly the scumbag politicians) that he won’t be forced to his knees for his beheading? I wonder if things will become clear to him as the knife slices into his neck and he sees his life blood spurt on the ground? For the couple of seconds he will be conscious, he may even work it out that Trump was and is right to stand up to these murdering, raping, peadophile Satan loving butt wipes? An utter coward like all the leftist shit who walk around pretending to be something they’re not and blaming everyone else for they’re own short comings. If he loves muslims so much I’ll pay for his fare to Saudi where he can join in the orgy of death and destruction against his own people!!

    Which of Mohammed’s behaviours is so wonderful and noble that someone would feel the need to join CAIR?

    Mohammed beheading of Jews? Mohammed encouraging his henchmen to rape the wives of the enemy? Mohammed marrying a nine year old? Mohammed lighting a fire on the chest of a man to torture him? Mohammed killing a woman poet?

    Mohammed, as described in the Quran and the Hadith and various biographies, was a gangster. Why would anyone want to follow a gangster?

    • gravenimage" says

      Nov 18, 2016 at 5:25 pm

      Good questions, No Fear. But all too many idiots believe that CAIR is a “civil rights groups”. What fools these dhimmis be!

  15. Mark A says

    Nov 18, 2016 at 2:29 am

    I wish I could respond to this by saying I will boycott the New York Times but I am already boycotting the New York Times.

  16. mach37 says

    Nov 18, 2016 at 3:41 am

    Re-read the first two comments by PRCS and efoc, re “useful idiots” and “why I am on jihadwatch.org.” As for “unindicted co-conspirator,” it is inexcusable that CAIR has remained unindicted all these years. We can only assume it is due to the interference by President Obama or his Muslim appointees to the DOJ. Trump must oust the Muslims in all departments of his administration if there is the slightest hint that they are soft on CAIR, ISNA, Hamas, or any other terrorist-associated group.

  17. No Fear says

    Nov 18, 2016 at 4:04 am

    Muslim texts record that Mohammed had no problem with using fear.

    Allah said, ‘No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.’ Muhammad said, ‘I was made victorious with terror. The earth was made a place for me to clean. I was given the most powerful words. Booty was made lawful for me. I was given the power to intercede. These five privileges were awarded to no prophet before me.’
    Ishaq:326

    If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah’s enemies
    Ishaq:326

    After the Messenger had finished with the Khaybar Jews, Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews in Fadak when they received news of what Allah had brought upon Khaybar. Fadak became the exclusive property of Allah’s Messenger.

    Al-Tabari, Vol. 8, p. 129

    We have been dealt a situation from which there is no escape. You have seen what Muhammad has done. Arabs have submitted to him and we do not have the strength to fight. You know that no herd is safe from him. And no one even dares go outside for fear of being terrorized.
    Al-Tabari, Vol. 9, p. 42

    etc etc etc etc etc etc

    Why doesn’t Kristof ask CAIR about Mohammed’s use of fear? e.g. Does CAIR think Mohammed was justified in his use of “terror”?

  18. Tassie R says

    Nov 18, 2016 at 4:26 am

    “To fight islamophobia” can be translated from the Leftist Newspeak as “to fight for terror” – and the NYT already does exactly this since long ago, be it Duranty’s lies about happy life amidst Stalin-made hunger, weird reports about Warsaw Ghetto fighters being excessively violent against Nazi, or the recent hearty support of the Hillary’s alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood. So – there is hardly anything new in the Krystof’s “little things”: they are no less treacherous than his boss Sulzberger’s big promise to kill in Vietnam Americans, not Communists.

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 18, 2016 at 5:27 pm

      Yes–the NYT has been at this apologia for tyranny for a very long time.

  19. Angemon says

    Nov 18, 2016 at 5:29 am

    Traumatized by the election results, many Americans are asking: What now?

    Oh, those poor, little special snowflakes! Isn’t there some sort of safe space where Trump’s presidency is not recognized and they can hug one another, or watch videos of puppies or whatever it is that they do in safe spaces?

    “Traumatized by the election results”? Sheesh, just how fragile are these morons?

    5. I WILL support groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center that fight hate groups

    Well, I’m all for supporting groups that fight hate groups such as the SPLC, which is one of the largest hate groups I know.

    and back the center’s petition calling on Donald Trump to disavow bigotry.

    Of course, by “disavow bigotry” they mean “abjectly pander to special interest groups”.

    Depending on my interests, I’ll support an immigration rights group

    Is there something as an immigration duties group? You know, a group that reminds immigrants that they have duties as well as rights? For example, they have the duty to enter the country the legal way.

    And I’ll subscribe to a newspaper as one way of resisting efforts to squelch the news media or preside over a post-fact landscape — and also to encourage journalists to be watchdogs, not lap dogs

    Journalists acting as lap dogs? That didn’t bother you when they were Obama’s and Hillary’s lap dogs. Anyway, what evidence is there that journalists are Trump’s lap dogs? If anything, they’ve shown to be hounds after his blood.

    Muhammad affirms that those who do not follow him will be slaughtered
    LINK: Page 222 (326 in the Arabic) of the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad:

    Abu jahl said to them: “Muhammad alleges that if you follow him you will be kings of the Arabs and the Persians. Then after death you will be raised to gardens like those of the Jordan. But if you do not follow him you will be slaughtered, and when you are raised from the dead you will be burned in the fire of hell.” The apostle [Muhammad] came out to them with a handful of dust saying: “I do say that.”

  23. Peter says

    Nov 18, 2016 at 2:46 pm

    He should join the ranks of the other Communists (and Nazis) who converted to Islam, the other and oldest form of totalitarianism and religious criminality.
