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

AFDI video: New Yorkers prefer martial law to Trump

Jan 17, 2017 9:31 am By Robert Spencer

It isn’t directly discussed in this video, but one of the principal reasons why Trump is so widely hated is because he wants to defend America from, among other things, the jihad terror threat. This video shows how deeply the Leftist cultural rot has set in: people don’t understand or appreciate the importance of a peaceful transfer of power to the opposition, and they no doubt think that defending the U.S. against the global jihad is inherently “racist” and “Islamophobic.”

AFDI Unveils Shocking New Video Showing New Yorkers Prefer Martial Law to Trump

NEW YORK, January 16: The human rights advocacy group the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) today unveiled a shocking new video, filmed at Times Square in New York City, showing that all too many New Yorkers would prefer that Barack Obama impose martial law and postpone the inauguration than allow Donald Trump to become President of the United States on Friday.

AFDI President Pamela Geller noted: “Rosie O’Donnell recently called for Obama to impose martial law and postpone the inauguration of Donald Trump until the president-elect could be prosecuted for crimes she did not name.”

Geller added: “We sent AFDI correspondent Laura Loomer to Times Square to ask people whether or not they agreed with this outrageous, deeply un-American and unconstitutional proposal. We were sure that the vast majority of people would say No, Rosie is crazy, the inauguration and the peaceful transfer of power should go on as always. And some did. But an alarming number didn’t.”

Explained Geller: “These people have no understanding of the rule of law or the value of a peaceful transition of power. They’re a testament to the failure of teachers in the U.S. and elsewhere to explain why America is unique. But some people still knew. Those people were heartening. But the fact that so many agreed with Rosie O’Donnell’s proposal for martial law and the postponement of the inauguration shows one reason why America is in such deep crisis today: vast numbers of people don’t even appreciate the uniqueness and strength of our republic. Most disquieting of all, such people will not be willing to defend it.”

AFDI stands for:

  • The freedom of speech – as opposed to Islamic prohibitions of “blasphemy” and “slander,” which are used effectively to quash honest discussion of jihad and Islamic supremacism;
  • The freedom of conscience – as opposed to the Islamic death penalty for apostasy;
  • The equality of rights of all people before the law – as opposed to Sharia’s institutionalized discrimination against women and non-Muslims.

    I heard the segment Fri where Pamela appeared on the Hannity radio show (2 – 3 million listeners). Geller is doing outstanding work. A follow on to the undercover at the Planned Parenthood abortion mills, where they got caught murdering unborn babies for spare parts. Geller got liberals acknowledging and tacitly endorsing Moslem world takeover, FGM, and so on. Which is worse?

      HELLO A.P.F. — Please permit me to parachute into your front yard to HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Bill Warner’s new video, available here from Truth Revolt:

      http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/bill-warner-moment-self-taught-revolution-against-sharia

      Only sharia is mentioned in that link, but actually he talks about Islam comprehensively, how “self-taught” is always a word of derision when it comes out of the mouths of academics, his own struggle against labeling as “racist”, and other relevant matters.

      It runs 7:09, and AT PRECISELY 5:49 there is a strategy discussed for our new president to enable true and deep learning about the essence of Islam. HERE IS WHERE ALL OF US JIHADWATCH READERS CAN AID THE EFFORT:

      Send the link to your elected Republicans. It would also be a good idea to contact THE DISTRICT OFFICE — NOT HYPER BUSY CAPITOL HILL. Precede that message with a phone call to the chief of staff (not an overworked clueless intern) to let them know an important suggestion is coming, and be certain to have a cordial moment where you get the name of that staffer.

      Let us all use the miracle of Trump’s victory to finally put reality front and center for the next four years..

      You are disparaging Planned Parenthood, who does wonderful work, especially among poor Americans. They in no way do what you accuse them of. If they did, they would have been shut down immediately. While a great effort was made to slander them, there was nothing there to charge Planned Parenthood with. It is outright misogyny to attack Planned Parenthood as you do, since they support women’s reproductive health.

        But the vile Mengele types do late term abortions and chop off and sell the cadaver parts.
        Why stop there. Maybe women should just give birth then strangle the child in its first seconds of life. Would that be OK?

      If you don’t know which is worse, you are on the wrong website. This is JihadWatch, and is an attempt to counter the threat of Jihad. This isn’t some hateful anti-abortion site run by people who hate women..

What the f does Donald a Trump need to be persecuted on? How stupid is the general public. Maybe we better relocate all the idiots to whatever part of the US that Chinas missles can reach so that way we don’t ever have good Americans killed if they attack.

      Well, at least enough of the general public is not stupid enough to elect Hildebeast. NYC, Times Square – what did you expect? Actually, I am surprised they could find anyone who thought hideous Rosie was crazy in that part of lalaland.

      If you ever want a good laugh, ask New York City dwellers for their opinion.

    Pretty scary. But I see it all the time. People often base their opinions on others’ opinions. And as we know, the media has twisted so many things.

    But the issue of education is interesting. As a child, we said the Pedge of Allegiance every day. “Citizenship” meant being responsible, doing your part. The practice of those things has changed.
    Additionally, schools have been in constant upheaval over new (and new again and new again and . . .) testing requirements and threats to funding that they’ve lost their center. Come to think of it, this downward trend started when the federal government took over funding and control of schools. Local communities had done a better job of so many things, including teaching about being American. Now there are so many federal mandates and little local control.

    Do these assholes know what Marshall Law entails? Total cessation of induvial rights curfews and house arrest is basically the theme under Marshall Law. If they support the illegals unmolested at the border that’s good bye they will seal off the border so tight they couldn’t smuggle a flea over the border. They will have shoot to kill orders for anybody trying to sneak in. The control every aspect of your life. If they hate the military how they will have a reason to really hate them after about three-days of Marshall Law. Our military is not trained to be policemen/women they don’t have the training to be patient and carrying. They have been trained to kill the enemy. I can tell you from my three-years in Iraq as a contractor training the police. The US military had one mission that was to kill the enemy and we were left alone to train the local national police force. NYC will be in turmoil if they imposed Marshall Law on the capital of our financial empire, no lattes no arugula salads, no martini’s after 5PM no scoping lines of coke from your favorite happy hooker.

        It’s actually a DECLARATION of WAR(the meaning of “martial”) against certain elements in society–such as an attempted or ongoing coup. Am sure that dumb Rosie doesn’t know that.

        • gravenimage says

          Jan 18, 2017 at 9:09 pm

          It means the military imposing law–usually done in times of unrest or extreme natural disaster.

    Since the leftists, Marxists, and the jihadists all hate Donald Trump with a passion is something that is actually a complement to Mr. Trump. For this must mean that Mr. Trump is the right man be become the President of the United States of America..

    • maghan says

      Jan 18, 2017 at 2:28 am

      Complement or compliment? Don’t see why Marxists would hate Trump. After all, the essence of Marxism is to get a better deal for WORKERS. Trump’s votes came from abandoned workers and middle class voters.

      • gravenimage says

        Jan 18, 2017 at 9:23 pm

        With all respect, Maghan, I don’t believe that is the essence of Marxism at all–workers in the Capitalistic West had a *much* higher standard of living overall than did those in the Soviet Union–even during the Depression.

        Stalin and Mao and the rest of that lot paid a lot of lip service to The Workers–but working for their benefit was never their real goal.

    What’s hilarious is that I’d bet if you asked if Obama declaring martial law would prevent Trump fascism, they’d probably agree.

    The battlecry of the modern left, embrace totalitarianism to prevent my feeling from being hurt!

  12. missinfidel says

    Jan 17, 2017 at 2:25 pm

    Blaming teachers is somewhat unfair. Many of us have our hands tied and cannot speak the truth as it is considered hate speech. We would lose our jobs. I am scared to say I voted for Trump much less discuss the role that Islam plays among terrorists. It is up to parents to teach their children about these things, as I have done with my own.

    While it is hard to believe, you can bet our youth listen to celebrities far more than they listen to anyone at school anyway. Teachers are old-fashioned and silly while celebrities are glamorous and rich and clearly know more than anyone left to teach high school. It is a losing battle for us anyway. Add to this issue a media that refuses to report the truth. If it was true that terrorists want to take away our freedom, that would surely be on the news, right? We have a confluence of circumstances that make teaching students to think for themselves almost impossible.

    • BoC says

      Jan 17, 2017 at 3:53 pm

      So, it’s up to teachers to teach the opposite of what responsible parents teach their kids? “Tyranny reigns when peaceful men do nothing” Teachers are on the front lines to do something about the madness that is happening, but prefer to remain silent for fear of losing their jobs, cop out?

    I’m not even an American and I can see how ignorant many of them are. The young people are complete idiots. They advocated letting Hillary implement Sharia Law if she became president. They give their opinion on this when they don’t even know what martial law is.

    The actual reasons that Hillary Clinton lost the election is not any kind of Russian hacking or FBI director, angry White men, Facebook, WikiLeaks, Twitter, or Putin. The reasons that Donald Trump won the election was that he had much better polices and politics than Hillary did. As for example, Trump is for very strong border security and Hillary was not. In addition, some of the reasons Hillary Clinton lost the election was ,as try as her might to cover it up, was that Hillary was not only extremely incompetent but also she could not hide her the fact that is she is a two-faced, narcissistic vicious ,manipulative, corrupt pathological liar.

    “but one of the principal reasons why Trump is so widely hated is because he wants to defend America from, among other things, the jihad terror threat.”

    In country I live in, it’s not even that complex. As another commentator said: people just go by others’ opinions and the MSM lies. For instance, I’m the only one I know who actually bothered to listen to Trump’s exact words about Mexican criminals. He simply stated that Mexico is happy to get rid of them in illegal US immigration. The MSM claims he was calling Mexicans generally criminals. And everyone I know, every age group, simply believed the MSM and never bothered to check.

    These aberrant NY-ers display signs characteristic of people indoctrinated by cult propaganda psy-ops. This phenomenon is dangerous, destructive, ultimately anarchic and against the rule of law. They need to be deprogramed and re-educated so that they can become useful members of society.
