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

Attorney General Lynch slams ‘unacceptable’ rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes, silent about anti-Semitic crimes

Dec 14, 2016 9:10 am By Robert Spencer

Lynch doesn’t seem to have addressed the fact that, according to FBI statistics, anti-Semitic hate crimes are twice more common than anti-Muslim hate crimes. Nor did she discuss the high number of alleged anti-Muslim hate crimes that turned out to have been faked by Muslims in order to portray the Muslim community in the U.S. as victimized, when it isn’t.

“Attorney General Lynch slams ‘unacceptable’ rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes,” by Kelly Cohen, Washington Examiner, December 12, 2016:

Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Monday acknowledged an uptick in what she deemed “unacceptable” hate crimes against Muslim Americans.

“[A]mid an increase in divisive and fearful rhetoric — we have seen Muslim Americans targeted and demonized simply because of their faith,” Lynch said from the All Dulles Area Muslim Society Center in Sterling, Va.

FBI statistics released last month show reported hate crimes against Muslims rose by 67 percent in 2015. There were 257 reported anti-Muslim incidents in 2015, compared to 154 the year before.

Lynch called the FBI numbers “deeply sobering for all Americans,” and seemed to make an indirect reference to President-elect Trump by saying it’s wrong to attack people for their beliefs. Trump has previously said the U.S. should ban Muslim immigrants until the vetting system is improved, and U.S. officials can be more sure that these immigrants aren’t terrorists in disguise.

“[T]o impose a blanket stereotype on all members of any faith because of the actions of those who pervert that faith is to go backwards in our thinking and our discourse, and to repudiate the founding ideals of this country,” Lynch said. She said her department will continue to “vigorously prosecute” hate crimes….

      LORETTA LYNCH IS A JEW HATER — THAT IS OBVIOUS.

      And, of course, so is Barry Hussein Obama, Jeh Johnson, former A.G. Eric Holder, Keith Ellison, Andre Carson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan and, probably, a solid majority of black Americans and their white encouragers in the campus Left.

    Hopefully there is some way in which she can come under investigation over her shameful time under the Obama regime. In particular, there needs to be some sort of exposure as to what the reasons and implications were for allowing Bill Clinton on her plane and what was said during that secret meeting on the tarmac.

    Another Dhimmi in the Obama camp, a non-Muslim who willingly defends Islam and Muslims, spouting untruths and nonsense as always. The fact is that the U.S. has no Attorney General now, and hasn’t had one since the Muslim Obama took office.

    Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Monday acknowledged an uptick in what she deemed “unacceptable” hate crimes against Muslim Americans.

    How about acceptable hate crimes?

    “[A]mid an increase in divisive and fearful rhetoric — we have seen Muslim Americans targeted and demonized simply because of their faith,” Lynch said from the All Dulles Area Muslim Society Center in Sterling, Va.

    Funny words, considering how we’ve seen people afraid to report suspicious activity form individuals who turned out to be murderous jihadis because they were afraid to be called “racist”.

    If Trump is real he will empower a commission to investigate ALL these Traitorous SCUM and indict. Hopefully to seize ALL the Oil Tick money they received and to deport them to the Islamic Paradises of their choice

    Well what else would a muslim brotherhood agent do? Remember, this is the person who sent shillers (aka lawyers/prosecutors) to silence the rape of a 5 y.o. girl by muslim immigrant children in Idaho. Not your average fanatical leftist, this one.

  8. Tjhawk says

    Loretta thinks it’s wrong to attack people for their beliefs. I agree with her on that. The problem is that she also thinks that the beliefs of people should not be attacked either.

    Any supremacist, murderous world view should be addressed, privately, and in the public sphere.

    It never does any good to tug on a hijab. That’s assault and it plays into the CAIR narrative. But if somebody comments on the supremacist nature of the hijab, that is not a hate crime. Many muslimas will report a hate crime when they hear something about their hijab that is not to their liking.

    Protect free speech!!

    “[T]o impose a blanket stereotype on all members of any faith because of the actions of those who pervert that faith is to go backwards in our thinking and our discourse,…”

    Attorney General Lynch should go all the way back to the thinking and the discourse of the Quran and the ahadith themselves before she proclaims who perverts the faith.

    Enough already!!
    Every time this horrible woman or her boss open their mouths in public it seems to be in loud defense of ONE group. Barking on and forever about the raging attacks on muslims across the US. Why don’t we hear of these? The media would be THRILLED to report them! Tell us Ms Lynch of these hate-crimes against muslims that you are “vigorously prosecuting”. I think we have a right to hear a bit more than just, “it’s happening, that’s all you need to know.”
    Who is she trying to impress??

    Jihadists will use the ‘hate crime’ label to denounce any valid criticism of Islam as misogynistic or supremacist.

    The only explanation for Western politicians who defend jihadists is that they are being bribed by Gulf oil money.

    Look, my friends – not to throw a wet blanket on the hot rhetoric of the CounterJihad, but I must – respectfully – point your attention in another direction.
    ________________________________________

    To begin, one must (in the interest of critical thinking and expanding the realm of one’s knowledge) willingly accept the following premise:

    Loretta Lynch is lying. Now, whether she is or not, is immaterial, if one agrees to follow the premise, if for no other reason than to exercise one’s brain.
    __________________________________

    So, she is lying. Why?

    Oh, the rabbit hole goes much deeper than one had thought.
    ______________________________________________

    This all goes back to the so-called “Arab Spring, Libya, Chris Stevens and shoulder-fired stinger missiles (one of which I saw with my own eyes at a party near Tripoli, in the beach house of a “lax” Moslem named Yunus, who invited me there, to drink and smoke hash, far from the prying eyes of Libya Dawn – and his wife in Tripoli proper.)

    Stevens was there with crate-loads of cash to attempt to buy back those stingers from the very Jihadists who attacked our compound, because Obama and Hillary realized (too late) that these little devices could be used to bring down commercial airliners flying over “hot airspace”.

    Hence, the coverup and the Innocence video, just prior to the re-election of the Moslem Usurper – Obama.
    ______

    What was the larger goal, however? Why were the arms smuggled there in the first place, and why did Hillary have such a hard-on for Gadaffi? Because she got Obama to agree to the adventure in Libya, in exchange for the presidency (even though she had, in 2008, and STILL has the goods on him, now) in 2016. The result of this misadventure is now plain for all to see. It all – literally – blew up, and much to Obama’s and Hillary’s surprise, the big deal fell apart, due to Trump. It was supposed to be the foreign policy coup for Hillary, that would lead to her being elected the 45th President of the USA.
    ___________________________________________________________________

    But again – why the affinity for uncontrolled Moslem migration to the USA and support of the Muslim Brotherhood? Votes, by idiots from the Religion of Useful Idiots – that is, Moslems.
    _____________________________________________________________

    What’s the dirt that Hillary has/had on Obama? That he was not eligible to be POTUS, that he is a Moslem and that he is a homosexual.
    _____________________________

    And Loretta Lynch?

    She is no more than a pawn, who is now seriously threatened by a Knight; she is desperately attempting to continue on with the charade, before being “taken” by the Trump administration. Why – however – I do not know.

  17. Shariafarts says

    Dec 14, 2016 at 12:47 pm

    Lynch claims without evidence that jihadists are distorting a faith that CALLS FOR JIHAD 164 times in the Koran.

    Lynch is lecturing about jihad without knowing the scriptural foundation of jihad. That is preposterous posturing.

    Lynch is trying to impose Sharia censorship rules to the United States ILLEGALLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY.

    The freedom of speech to CRITICIZE A RELIGION is unrestricted in the US constitution.

    In training to become a military officer there was an honor code, which basically was: I will not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate anyone who does. A violation of this code was reason for expulsion from the core. Perhaps we should enforce this on our politicians.

  20. Cretius says

    Dec 14, 2016 at 1:16 pm

    Lynch is obviously totally ignorant about the core teachings of Islam and the violent and aggressive 1,400 year history of Islam and it’s unending attacks on non-believers. Such leaders give lip service to democracy and equality but staunchly refuse to defend western civilisation. This cannot have a good outcome.

    The fact is that Hillary and Obama are Leftist-Marxist ideologues. Embracing every faction and fringe group they tried using Saul Alinsky tactics to divide and disenfranchise America in order to influence the election.
    Supporting the Occupy movements, the BLM, the anti-Christian movement. The green movement, the new feminists. anti-Semitic groups. The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR,
    Even the Occupy Wall street movement that embraces all the poor people, Aren’t the poor in fact victims of capitalism? In an America built by slaves and ” never worked”?

    They supported every group that considers itself a victim of some other group, Sometimes the other groups were also being indirectly financed by Soros,
    Wikileaks revealed the DNC used this tactic ( see RAT FUKinG ) in both Bernie vs Hillary, and again in Hillary vs Trump. (see Leftists disguised as Trump KKK supporters beat up minorities at rallies linked to George Soros group ).
    But they were 35 years late to divide America which is so diverse that breaking it up now could not be done, Americans saw through it and unified with a common goal and voted accordingly.
    In September at a house I was wiring I thought they were black panthers living there,
    But I felt better when I saw a yellow tea party flag, American flags and Trump signs and I knew Hilary was in trouble..

    Isn’t it very clear that whatever law Attorney General Lynch observes is what her script by Obama requires?
    Had she not been agreeable to presiding over a Dept. of Justice in its present corrupted form, she would never have been recommended by Obama for the position.
    Watching her being interviewed by Rep. Gowdy and the congressional committee, while she tries to represent herself as a proper Attorney General, the top defender of U.S. constitutional law, exposes her as a laughing stock for the congressmen, each taking a turn, at playing at her as a cat does to a mouse.

      Repulsive apologist for Muslim savagery ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      ……………………………….

      This is particularly unhinged, even by muhammed’s standards.

      Firstly, he is positing that since we live as equals with Jewish people that we are “enslaved” by them, while *actually* condoning his coreligionists using us as slaves and sex slaves. This is how little he understands about freedom and equality.

      Then, he is condoning such things as antisemites scrawling “Hitler was a hero” on a Synagogue, and shooting up and murdering people at Jewish Centers because they are “natural frustrations” for living with Jews as equals.

      What muhammed does not mention is that apart from a few neo-Nazis, that many of the perpetrators of these antisemitic hate crimes are *Muslims*. This is particularly the case in Europe. The idea that ordinary Americans are doing this is just false.

      As for lauding Hitler, muhammed–like so many Muslims–has done this himself. He is–of course–particularly enamored of the Holocaust. *Ugh*.

        Islam is a fascist totalitarian political system that includes a religion of holy war, bigotry, intolerance, sexism and barbaric cultural practises. Mohammedans are their own worst enemies. They even kill each other! No one has to lie about Islam. Simply bear witness to the intolerance, bigotry and hatred expressed in Islamic teachings and spread by imams online and in the mosque. Mohammedans demand respect and rights that they deny to everyone else. This makes them unfit immigrants/refugees to modern western democracies.

        Allowing such a poisonous political system/religion in is tantamount to committing national suicide.

    Hello:

    We now have Ilhan Omar state representative from Minnesota claiming she was verbally and physically harassed by a cab driver in Washington. She was called an ISIS member and the “immigrant” driver threatened or attempted to remove her hijab. Ilhan Omar was originally a Somali refugee to America. She also has a very suspicious history regarding her previous marriages especially on involving her brother. There remain unanswered questions regarding the brothers immigration status. He attended the local university in Minnesota and now lives in England.

    Omar’s latest allegations jut do not ring true. She refused to call police because she is opposed to “criminalization” for such “racial” incidents? Please, she has now cast aspersions against ever cab drive in Washington. I believe she was merely seeking publicity for whatever reason. The truth will come home to defeat this new state representative who bathes in concerns about so called “Islamophobia.”
