The mainstream media’s avid propagation of the idea that Trump’s victory has cheered the jihadis tells us more about the media’s agenda than it does about the jihadis. My latest in PJ Media:
Abu Omar Khorasani, an Islamic State commander in Afghanistan, says this about Donald Trump:
This guy is a complete maniac. His utter hate towards Muslims will make our job much easier because we can recruit thousands.
The establishment media has been running a series of stories since the election with the not-so-hidden subtext that Trump’s policies regarding Muslims will only make the global jihad worse. They claim he provides fodder to the jihadis that they can use to recruit Muslims who might otherwise have been peaceful.
But is it true? No, and just a moment’s thought reveals why their argument is absurd.
What exactly constitutes Trump’s alleged “utter hate toward Muslims”? Well, Trump has proposed a temporary ban on immigration from countries with a high incidence of jihad terror activity.
(The widely circulated claim that Trump wants to register Muslims is outrageous and false. That has simply never been part of Trump’s program.)
Did Trump propose this ban due to hatred for Muslims? No, Trump has been crystal clear that a temporary ban stems from the manifest impossibility of distinguishing jihadis from peaceful Muslims.
Abu Omar Khorasani is essentially saying that, because Trump is fighting back against the global jihad, the Islamic State will be able to get more recruits.
Indeed, the idea that fighting back against the global jihad only creates more jihadis is a staple of the Democratic Party and its establishment media organs. During the campaign, Hillary Clinton said that Trump was a “recruiting sergeant for terrorists”:
The kinds of rhetoric and language that Mr. Trump has used is giving aid and comfort to our adversaries.
…
We know that a lot of the rhetoric we’ve heard from Donald Trump has been seized on by terrorists, in particular ISIS, because they are looking to make this into a war against Islam, rather than a war against jihadists, violent terrorists, people who number maybe 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.
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.
Clinton apparently believes that if the U.S. refuses to acknowledge the motivating ideology behind jihad terror, the jihad force would be weakened — and that if we do acknowledge it, that ideology would be strengthened. Her claim, that the Islamic State recruited on the basis of alleged “anti-Muslim rhetoric” from Western politicians, was based on the fact that the Islamic State and al-Qaeda often recruit on the basis of grievance narratives against the West.
But she ignored other things they said which negate her claim. In fact, the Islamic State recently addressed her exact argument explicitly in its Dabiq magazine:
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.
If Hillary Clinton had been elected and had continued the Obama administration’s policies of denial and willful ignorance toward the jihad threat, and had she also facilitated a massive new influx of Muslim migrants, the jihadis would not have been pacified.
In fact, they would have been bolder than ever.
Their primary motivation for hating us has nothing whatsoever to do with our statements. They hate the United States because we are not a Muslim government that implements Islamic law.
The coup de grace to the claim that Trump is enflaming the jihadis is the fact that the jihad imperative is not based on how good the infidels are to the Muslims. The Qur’an simply commands Muslims to wage war against and subjugate infidels. It makes no exceptions for those who do not fight back, or who do not fight back effectively, or who watch their words….

And of course the witless Huffington Post is down with this witless whitewash of Islam.
Of course, the fact is that if an Imam were really so friendly with a Priest then it would be either Taqiyya or apostasy–and damned unlikely in any case.

Unlike Christians, Muslims are taught that their (memorized) prayer incantations are an obligation to earn Allah brownie points.
Even if Muslims don’t understand a single Arabic word of their ritual incantation, they still get a stick-on gold star (crescent) for their forehead bump.

Oh, and the Muslim playing the Imam is Zubeir Hassam, principal of the Muslim School Oadby, in Leicester. What do we know about the Muslim population there? This, from the Leicester Mercury:

http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/fears-brothers-ibrahim-mohamed-ageed-oadby-gone/story-26811342-detail/story.html
By the way, girls at the school have to wear a floor-length black Jalabiya and headscarf–because otherwise no doubt Muslim men would become so aroused they would have to rape the schoolgirls.

Aussie Infidel says
Miriam, While there can be mutual friendship and respect between individual Christians and Muslims, their beliefs are still like oil and water – they will never mix. And when push comes to shove, it doesn’t take a genius to guess which side they will support. Carol Kuruvilla (from the Huffington Post) needs to educate herself a lot more about Islam before getting so euphoric about any possible solidarity between the two faiths. Does she understand that what she is witnessing now, is simply the latest struggle in this ‘Very Long War’ which has raged continually for almost 1,400 years and claimed some 270 million lives? Does she honestly believe that the purported friendship between these two people – wonderful if true – will affect the outcome? The answer to preventing further conflict lies in criminalising this violent ideology, and prosecuting those who continue propagating its messages of violence and hatred – and closing down their mosques. We’ve played softball for decades, and it’s gotten us nowhere. When the Trump team takes the field, let’s hope they begin to play hardball. That’s the only language the militants understand. And they are the ones who control Islam – the moderates are irrelevant.

Don McKellar says
Well if this narrative were even remotely true, and the president influences jihad recruitment, then Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama were the two biggest recruiting tools for jihad! Clinton led eventually to Sept 11th very shortly after Bush barely got in, and Obama’s policies opened a void that created ISIS! Think about that.
Shmooviyet says
Agreed.
Over & over the more ignorant warriors love to use “9/11 happened under GW”. They ignore the eight years of Clinton which preceded– during which, among others, the highjackers were being welcomed in to attend the ‘University of the United States’ (city and state unknown).

“our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam.”
Trump could increase the military enlistment age temporarily to 45-50 years of age just as was done during WWII. We could end this quickly and you would see a nation full of physically and mentally capable patriots rise to the cause like we have not seen since WWII.
Carving a heart out of a child, burning people alive, crucifying them and be headings are all the recruitment material that I ever needed. How foolish of them (ISIS and the rest).
Kiel says
The media’s premise is totally out of sync. It has never been proven that appeasement towards muzzies, terrorists or otherwise, make them friendlier. Reality has shown the opposite. And with Trump the morons are going to get hard times. ISIS’ occupying ground space will not only crumble but is going to be burned off, literally. A combined force of Russian and US airstrikes will get Northern Syria look like the reverse side of the moon.

That they apparently didn’t understand why “terrorists” (read Islamists/jihadists) seized upon such “rhetoric” or for what purpose they used it–whether true or not–is significant, as it bespeaks the failure of the DNC, democrats in general, leftist rags, and the snotty, clueless twits managing her failed campaign (basically, all the folks who enabled her defeat) to do their homework.
That they fairly swoon over Keith Ellison’s run for the DNC seat makes clear that they still haven’t.

“Trump Will Make {Islamic} Terror Recruitment Easier.”
Uh-huh. What the hell doesn’t?
Westman says
So true, Wellington.
If we all pledged allegiance to Allah, the wars would simply continue over which Islamic sect is the true one.
Islam was born in conflict, spread by conflict, and is doctrinally in conflict with self-governance. It is completely beyond its useful time, its poor fruits incude parasitic clerics and “holy” mercenaries who will spend most of their lives in warfare. It is the only “religious” ideology that currently generates a permanent warrior class.
Oliver says
To Wellington- IF ISIS would take the (had been on JW a few years back) the al-queida application and expand it- that might make it harder.
After all, the schmucks planning to enlist might have to be able to read.
Or, have someone read it to them.
By the way, I AM IN COMPLETE FAVOR OF NOT INCARCERATING ( AT LEAST IN THE US) ANY ISIS SYMPATHIZER OR WANNA BE..
just send them to Iraq or Syria, and let them be killed there.
And let the Nation of Islam and their leader (Farrakhan?) go with them and join Hezbollah.
And have an all out war- Hezbollah vs ISIS. May they both destroy the other, fully and totally.
Ciudadano says
“…by turning it into a religious conflict…”
But It is already a religious conflict. Christians are being persecuted and discriminated in Islamic countries (http://tinyurl.com/h2clq2b) by Islamic governments and Muslim societies, let alone jihadists. Christians are even persecuted and beaten by Muslims in refugee shelters in western countries.
Islamic governments like Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc. are actively engaged in this conflict, while western countries are afraid of bell the cat.
Oliver says
Starting in May 1948-when Israel was created, the Muslim nations started expelling Jews by the thousands. ISRAEL, ONLY LIKE 2% OF THE LAND, TOOK IN ALL WHO WANTED TO COME THERE. (Contrast with the Muslim states who let their ” brothers” rot- for almost 70 years.
Aleppo had a Jewish presence for a few thousand years. Even before this war, the Jewish population there was zero.
Iraq had a Jewish population for a few thousand years. Became zero.
why isn’t that spoken about by the media or the USELESS NATIONS?
Ashley says
Thank you for this post, Robert. It clarified some questions I had been pondering.
WHEN, not if, the next Islamic terror attack is executed on US soil I fully expect liberals to accuse Trump of “poking the bear.” Liberals are notorious for having selective memory. They will ignore Benghazi, San Bernardino, Orlando because it is an inconvenient truth that such attacks occurred on Obama’s watch.
I can hear it now: “Well, of course Muslims attacked! They have been vilified by Trump from Jump Street! You can only take so much persecution and discrimination before you violently revolt!” Blah, blah, blah.. And the MSM? They’ll be going along for the ride.
Oliver says
J Street is Soros. J Street FINALLY admitted it about a year or two ago
Westman says
To quote a recent presidential candidate, “What difference at this point does it make?”
The Quran is the only “Holy Book” that calls for animosity towards Jews, Christians, and unbelievers and has been declared, universally, by its most authoritative scholars, to be immutable.
Statements that Islam seeks peace with infidels can only be uttered in ignorance or outright lying.
Wellington says
Seconded, Westman.

Oh, in extreme cases I can see Clinton’s point; A part of the Ukrainians welcomed the Germans in 1941 as liberators for a short while.
But in THIS case?! No, only already brainwashed, unreasonable Muslims might get “radicalized”, but they are hopeless anyway, there is no reasonable influencing such people.
Reasonable people, Muslims who want to be or seem reasonable, they will be willing to debate,
and in debate Clinton’s, MSM’s narrative of Donald Trump dangerously radicalizing Muslims with his rhetoric will be not only be quickly disproven,
but it will be compared with what Islamic leaders/ clerics do themselves and that will be used against them.
Every (well almost) complaint against Trump we can with the same logic turn on Islamic leaders, clerics etc. Let’s apply the same standards to all, not just to Trump.
Trump is a godsend.

What America dodged by not electing Hillary and her 2nd daughter, Huma Abedin:

Thanks Davej, for providing vital information. Pffff, what a relieve that Clinton, Abedin did NOT win!
The fact that puzzles for a long time now, is “how on earth was this Muslima allowed to marry Anthony Weiner, a JEW! And officially not a converted Muslim. I can only assume that marriage was somehow a tactical move, although it alludes me for what use.
Can someone enlighten me why Huma married a jew? And when doing so, officially retained her status a Muslima? I feel as if the MSM are so casual about this, when they too should know how very unprecedented it is for a Muslima to marry an unconverted Jew? I mean, if other Muslima’s openly proceed on such a road, aren’t they in big trouble?
Demsci says
Sorry, I mean “eludes” instead of alludes”
Oliver says
I don’t know the answer but can only guess. Weiner is, undoubtedly, someone with issues ( mental and/or psychological).
However, he is also intelligent ( albeit, with little or no common sense) and (I BELIEVE-NEVER CHECKED) an attorney.
Possibly, the belief that having a Jewish attorney onboard would help the cause.
(Not knowing of his -what has come to light-perversions).
Just my guess.

(The widely circulated claim that Trump wants to register Muslims is outrageous and false. That has simply never been part of Trump’s program.)
It’s disappointing that he doesn’t want to register them. They need to be closely watched like pit bulls. Registering them would facilitate their mass deportation in a happier future. Same goes for the temporary ban. If you’ve got a solution to a major problem, why not make it permanent?
Custos Custodum says
The NSA has profiles on every individual which include hundreds of high-level attributes. It is easy to sift these attributes to identify Muslims, both observant and secular.
Aussie Infidel says
The motivating ideology behind jihad terror is based primarily on the commandments in the Islamic scriptures ‘to fight against unbelievers to subjugate their religion and culture’ (in the Quran alone: Q 2:190-193, 2:216, 3:157, 4:74, 4:89, 4:95, 7:4, 8:16, 8:24, 8:39, 8:60, 9:5, 9:14-15, 9:29, 9:36-41, 9:73, 9:111, 9:123, 47:4 etc, etc).
There are many more in the Hadith, and Sharia (Reliance Of The Traveller: o9.0 – o9.16).
No doubt grievances about local conflicts also play a part, particularly when militant imams stir up the psychopaths and the deeply devout at their local mosques. As the Ayatollah Khomeini said, “After Friday prayers, the only thing a Muslim fears is Allah.” But this is just the final link in the chain of motivation, which stretches all the way back to a Muslim’s initial indoctrination as a child – or in the case of a convert, to their first dawah session.
Robert is right in claiming ‘if Hillary Clinton had been elected and continued Obama’s policies of denial and willful ignorance toward the jihad threat, and facilitated a new influx of Muslim migrants, the jihadis would not have been pacified. In fact, they would have been bolder than ever.’
As usual, the Muslims have twisted the story to make themselves appear to be the victims. It’s not that Trump has spoken of hatred toward Muslims, but that Muslims have declared their hatred for Trump and all he represents. Western politicians need to understand that Muslims hate us simply because we are not Muslims and our democratic governments do not rule by Islamic law. It’s that simple – their scriptures command Muslims to hate all unbelievers (Q 3:28-32, 5:14, 33:57, 33:60-62, 35:39, 40:10, 40:35, 60:4, 98:6, etc – and that’s just the Quran). This discriminatory attitude has also been elevated to the status of law in the Sharia in so many different places.
President elect Trump is right – suspend all Muslim immigration, especially from OIC countries “until we can figure out what is going on.” I rather suspect that Mr Trump knows already “What is going on” (generally, if not in detail), and sees this as an important first step in solving the problem. After all, he was one of the first to warn the US of the dangers of Osama bin Laden before 9/11.
However, suspending Muslim immigration is not the only action required. Islam is a criminal ideology, which is contrary to Western law and it should be declared illegal. Islam simply has no place in a civilized society. Only a fool would continue to tolerate an ideology which will not tolerate him!
Carolyne says
Look at that trio of idiots. Between them they might have half a human brain.
Thee is a Fifth Column in the US and its name is the Democratic Party. It is they who push Muslims into the US where their Sharia Law is in direct opposition to the Constitution and our culture. Now, because the American people caught on to them, they are trying to destroy us with anarchy. Why do they do it? Simple. Saudi Money. Bought and paid for. And this money filters down to thugs who are willing to set the cities ablaze after having been bused in to do so by that great manipulator himself, George Soros.

In spite of the claims by the many propagandists for the militant jihad of Islam there is actually no real evidence that Donald Trump hates or even dislikes Muslims. What Trump is interested in is not ,in any form the harassment of Muslims in America but the safety and security of all Americans as well as the safety of the people just peacefully visiting this nation. For vacation or business or any other genuine reason. In addition , as those those Muslims members of ISIS , Al Qaeda who try to work non-violent Muslim up in becoming violent and deadly jihadist Muslims. Those ISIS propagandists are distorting Thumps proposed national US policy for Jihad recruitment. This ISIS manipulative use or misuse of this now proposed Trump policy shows the true to the the old saying. Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
