Jihad Watch

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

Trump warns that Islamic State jihadis specifically targeting Jews, Christians and “peaceful Muslims”

Feb 3, 2017 10:48 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

President Trump is obviously correct. Yet rather than support a logical approach to defend the free society that has attracted immigrants worldwide, including from Islamic states and majority-Muslim countries, leftists attack the Trump policy of strengthening America, and work to enable its Islamic supremacist and jihadist enemies.

America is built on the Judeo-Christian principle of human rights. The battle against Islamic supremacy must be fought for the survival of free societies.

“Trump Celebrates America’s Faith-Based Foundation, Vows to Defend Religious Values”, by Charlie Spierling, Breitbart, February 2, 2017:

President Donald Trump praised America’s faith-based values, vowing to defend them from an increasingly dangerous world, in a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday.

“America will thrive as long as we continue to have faith in each other and faith in God,” Trump said. “That faith in God has inspired men and women to sacrifice for the needy, to deploy to wars overseas, and lock arms at home to ensure equal rights for every man, woman, and child in our land.”

He vowed to protect religious liberty in America, specifically promising to get rid of the Johnson Amendment, which prevents churches and faith-based organizations from endorsing and opposing political candidates.

“Our republic was formed on the basis that freedom is not a gift from government, but that freedom is a gift from God,” Trump said.

But Trump warned that Islamic State terrorists were specifically targeting Christians and “peaceful Muslims.” He also mentioned that the Jewish people were under attack from terrorists.

“The world is in trouble, but we’re going to straighten it out. That’s what I do,” Trump said. “I fix things. We’re going the straighten it out. Believe me.”

The president paid tribute to slain Navy SEAL Mark Owens and quoted John 15:13 to recognize his sacrifice. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends,” he said.

Trump also used his speech to defend his decision to restrict refugees and immigration from seven high-risk Middle East countries, calling it a “necessary” step to prevent opponents of American values from entering the country.

“We will not allow a beachhead of intolerance to spread in our nation,” he said, promising to develop an immigration system to only allow people into the country who would share American values.

“In the coming days, we will develop a system to help ensure that those admitted into our country fully embrace our values of religious and personal liberty and that they reject any form of oppression and discrimination,” Trump said. “We want people to come into our nation, but we want people to love us and to love our values, not to hate us and to hate our values.”

Trump spoke about his mother, who raised him with faith, and he explained that personal wealth fails to bring true happiness…..

    Trump is telling the Truth and the Leftist including CNN can’t handle this. They are delusional about the whole threat.

    Godless Western elites have claimed for 15 years that JIHAD has NOTHING to with Islam, even though there are 164 jihad verses in the Koran,

    Most of Islam is political and based on the idea that Allah hates kafirs and wants Muslims to enslave and exterminate them and their cultures.

    -64% of the Koran is devoted to the kafir problem and is political.
    -37% of the hadiths is devoted to the kafir problem and is political.
    – 81% of the Sira is devoted to the kafir problem and is political.
    – IN TOTAL: 51% of the Islamic foundational texts (548,190 words) is political.

    Summary: 51% of Islam’s foundational texts (the Islamic trilogy) is devoted to resolving
    the kafir problem and is political. Islam’s problem with kafirs is that they do not accept that Mohammed is a prophet, so Muslims must subjugate them militarily and remove the human rights and civil liberties of women and ‘others’.

      Read the Hadith on jihad: they give the backstory to many of the Surahs in the Quran. They make it clear that jihad is war. Muslims and liberal apologists often quote the saying of Muhammad: “I return from the lesser jihad (war) to the greater jihad (mastery of the self).” This Hadith is not accepted as authentic by most Islamic scholars…unless they want to use it to muddy the water on the definition of jihad. Deception and lying, also allowed by the Quran in the cause of Allah, the God of the pedaphile Muhammad.

    The persecutions and deaths of those targeted by jihadis who comply with orders from their koran is meaningless to Leftists.
    The reason: the fact that Trump is defending the persecuted justifies to lunatic Leftists that they must seek political reasons to wage their vendetta on Trump and his constituency for knocking the Democrats out of contention for political power.
    Leftists are also the cheering section for the jihadis, while they execute their grisly crimes.

    To me there is no such thing as a peaceful Muslim. There are those Muslims that act out in jihad, rape, mutilation, oppression, lies/deseption and getting on their knees praying for it to happen.

    • marina says

      Feb 3, 2017 at 2:59 pm

      The peaceful Muslims are those clueless idiots who have never read the koran in their own language. They have no knowledge that koran contains violent verses or Mo was a criminal. When a terrorist attack takes place they are the ones who lament that their peaceful religion has been hijacked.

    The article states “Navy SEAL Mark Owens”, whose true name is Matt Bissonnette and is the author of No Easy Day (about the bin Laden raid)

    The slain DEVGRU SEAL killed in Yemen was Chief Petty Officer (posthumously promoted to Senior Chief) William Ryan Owens.

    I do hope that was merely a Breitbart editorial blooper rather than the president’s error.

    I *do* believe him. He’s a bit of a clown, but he’s actually a lot more serious and real than most of the previous presidents. He’s the man for the current times, no doubt about it. Right choice.

    Thank you Americans who voted for Trump!

    “Our republic was formed on the basis that freedom is not a gift from government, but that freedom is a gift from God,” Trump said.”

    True, but many don’t wish to recognize that there is a Higher Power than they are. They wish to believe they have the authority to take *rights away* if one disagrees with their twisted and immoral ‘thinking,’ which is the absence of real thought.

      “’Our republic was formed on the basis that freedom is not a gift from government, but that freedom is a gift from God,’ Trump said.”

      From the Declaration of Independence: “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation…”

      The Founding Fathers believed in God, but they did not take the Laws of Nature on faith. Their belief in liberty was not “faith based” in the sense that they just followed the Bible without critical examination.

      Note that the “Laws of Nature” is given a prominent place. To the Founders, it was God who made nature, and therefore by studying nature, including Man’s nature, you could find the facts and principles that make liberty necessary for a thinking being such as Man.

      But, in truth, whether a god made nature or nature developed over a long, long time as a result of the nature of matter and its inherent properties, nature *is* what it is. Human nature *is* what it is. It can’t be changed. It has to be identified for what it is, and the principles that are best suited to bringing forth the best in that nature – ethics – needs to be objectively identified.

      The Ten Commandments are a reasonable set of ethical ideas that are grounded in human nature. You really don’t have to have a god reveal them to you *if* you are an honest mind intent on working out guiding ethics grounded in the facts of nature that will work for a healthy society.

      If a god *did* make nature, he gave humans the capacity to observe reality and to think and work out over time the best ethical principles. But he also gave humans the ability to lie to themselves, to choose to not think, to not be honest, and to ignore facts in order to believe what they want and do what they want without regard to reality.

      It doesn’t matter whether you believe in a god or not. If you think you are above *nature*, above *reality*, that you can put yourself above other human beings’ minds and liberty and rights and use them as pawns in your social experiment, you’re morally and rationally wrong.

      I think religious people have made a huge mistake making it out that unless you believe in God, you don’t have any basis on which to believe in rights – that believing in rights is essentially an act of faith. It’s not. Some atheists have made that same mistake, and then draw the stupid conclusion that if there is no God, as they believe, then they can design any ethics they want and make people conform to it, somehow changing Man’s nature through brainwashing.

    Common sense” (me) usually posts views of the common man or woman and hopefully adds some fire to the solutions we seek to the problematic bigotry of Islamic Supremacism and Jihad attacks.
    I admittedly have little profound knowlege of Islam that many of the posts here display and Robert often educates us on.
    If I could ask JW readers to make sure when reading comments that I’m the original “common sense” posting. “Commonsense”is a new post I’ve not seen and all of our views are variable and in light of real world problems its not a big deal I’d just rather not be confused for someone elses words. I can make myself look bad all on my own thank you.

    “In the coming days, we will develop a system to help ensure that those admitted into our country fully embrace our values of religious and personal liberty and that they reject any form of oppression and discrimination,” Trump said.

    Very well. But how about the second and third-generation muslims who are vulnerable to “radicalization”? Maybe their parents and/or grandparents genuinely just wanted a better life and were more than glad to embrace those values, however islamic tenets remain immutable and set in stone.

    • C T says

      Feb 3, 2017 at 3:28 pm

      There needs to be a world-wide rejection of the ahadith as “tarnishing the Prophet (pbuh).” Let the Sunni and Shia “Sayings” be reviled as much as “Mein Kampf” for all the disaster and dishonor they have brought to Islam and the world.

    I don’t have time for a long comment. I just want to say how proud I am of our new president and the good work he’s doing. He’s making all the right moves, saying all the right things. America should never compromise her values. We truly are the greatest nation on earth, I’m so glad Trump is not afraid to act like we are.

    Peaceful Moslem

    A person who observes the belief system of Islam that calls for violent world takeover, including that being a non-Moslem can incur the death penalty, but he himself does not act of the rules of Islam. In other words, a believer in violent world takeover and the execution of non-Moslems who does not personally act on these held beliefs.

    As most of you know, I am as Islamo-critical as the next guy. Further, my idea of “reformation” in Islam means Muslims abandoning the Qur’an for the Old and New Testaments, rejecting Muhammad as a prophet, and accepting Jesus Christ as he is presented in the Bible. However, I do not treat “peaceful Muslims” as an oxymoron, nor do I approve of all-out inter-civilizational war (which a West, under the leadership of a foolish, faithless, and fault-ridden post-Christian and post-modern elite could well lose) nor do I approve of complete bans on Muslim immigration (beyond the reasonable temporary halt which President Trump has called–yes, I’m a “never Trump” conservative who has bitten his own tongue).

    Theoretically, and perhaps practically, there seem to be Muslims who extend the truce with us Kufr indefinitely (even if jihad is important in their religion), and even recognize they may have a commonality of certain interests with us. Uighur exiles in the USA tend to be highly condemnatory towards the 9/11 perps and their sympathizers; and there was that Lebanese Muslim immigrant who defended Trump’s temporary suspension of admission for nationals of certain states to the [dis-]Honorable Perlosi. I consider how the uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers condemned their act; and, indeed, for many years, the Russian VOA announcer was a Muslim Chechen refugee as further examples. For non-American examples, I consider how Hui people regarded China’s resistance to Japan as a “jihad” in WWII, while others supported a religiously pluralist Republic of China in China’s civil war.

    I hold to the real “religion of peace”. We’ve always been open to God’s providential ordering of history, since even before the coming of the Messiah whom we confess and the completion of our Scriptures. We are open to people, and want to know what “makes them tick”–the better to fulfill Jesus’ Great Commission of making disciples of all nations. Perhaps these are reasons why the West, so long under our influence (and may God bring it under our influence again), has been the civilization most marked by intellectual curiosity and the need to explore. Hence, in this confrontation with Islam, we see victory not in the destruction of hundreds of cities across northern Africa and western, central, and southern Asia, but in the “reformation of Islam” which I mentioned in the first paragraph of this post. Indeed, our missions-minded groups have been caught flat-footed–and grateful to God for it–over the unprecedented numbers of Muslims who have come to Christ in recent years (and I don’t think it was done by calling anyone “raghead”).

    Hence, I will refrain from throwing mud at our new President over his “peaceful Muslims” comments for now.
