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

ABC worries that Manchester jihad massacre “likely to inflame anti-Islamic sentiment”

May 23, 2017 10:47 pm By Robert Spencer

As always, when Muslims murder non-Muslims in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings, the establishment media acts as if Muslims are the victims.

“ABC News Worried About Potential ‘Anti-Islamic Backlash’ After Manchester Terror Attack,” by Andrew Kugle, Washington Free Beacon, May 23, 2017:

Two ABC News reporters were worried about a potential ‘anti-Islamic backlash’ on Tuesday morning, hours after the Manchester terrorist attack.

A suicide bomb attack killed at least 22 people and injured more than 50 others after an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. Several of the victims were children, including eight-year-old Saffie Roussos.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the assault.

ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos told network correspondent Martha Raddatz hours after the attack on “Good Morning America” that it would most likely spark anti-Islamic sentiment across the United Kingdom and Europe.

“This is also likely to inflame anti-Islamic sentiment across Britain, across Europe,” Stephanopoulos said.

Raddatz agreed and described how the attack would create a backlash against Muslims.

“It sure could, George. Manchester itself is a very multicultural city. There’s a large Muslim population with many there for generations,” Raddatz said. “So headscarfs attract little attention there. And notably, Manchester did not vote in favor of Brexit. But an attack like this, as you said, is much bigger than Manchester itself and will likely create backlash, depending on the details of this attack.”

ABC was not the only network to express concern about the potential for anti-Muslim backlash. On NBC’s “Today” show, counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke alluded to President Trump’s rhetoric on terrorism and Islam during the campaign, calling it “counterproductive.”

“That’s why the talk against Muslims in the last year in the campaign and since has been very counterproductive,” Clarke said. “The only way to solve this problem is to have everyone think they’re on the same side.”…

        Never will you hear anyone on the mainstreme media say’Islam is the problem’.It can never be agreed that there could possibly be something in that religion that motivates these followers to kill non muslims.They scratch there collective heads wondering just what their motives are.Its quite amazing to listen to these liberal clowns who have somehow got themselves into positions of power here pondering on these terrorist issues

      Defeating the doctrines that drive this violence is the only way to win this war. These doctrines we are fighting are Islamic doctrines and therefore we have to be “anti-Islamic” to speak against them. The best thing we can do for the followers of this cult of Mohammad is to rid the world of his teachings. That religion must be demolished and the best people to do that would be it’s own adherents. Being “anti-Islmaic” would be the kindest thing we can do for these people. What? I can’t tell a Muslim that I believe they are following a false prophet? They sure don’t hesitate calling me a polytheist for believing that Jesus is my Lord and my God.

      What is the difference between an extremist vs an non-extremist Muslim? An extremist carries out the act of murdering infidels (unbelievers) according to the Quran while the non-extremist agrees and believes the murderous acts committed by the extremist is justified according to the Quran.

      I have a great idea. Someone make pig decals and bumper stickers. Imagine millions of cars with pig bumper stickers. No Islamic person would go near you. They hate even pictures of pigs. Millions of cars in Europe with these stickers would be enough to drive them out of Europe

    ABC must realize that WE ARE NOT ON THE SAME SIDE AS MUSLIMS. We are on the side of Western Civilization & will NEVER be on the side of Savages of the Cult Of Islam.
    The UN & our So-Called Political Leaders can force us to live beside of Savage Invaders of Islam, but we will NEVER sink to the level of being on their side.
    WE NEED TO STOP THE MUSLIM INVASION OF OUR CIVILIZED COUNTRIES & DEPORT THOSE WHO ARE SQUATTING ON OUR LAND.

      The ABC staff are also very ignorant. There has NOT been a ‘large muslim population’ anywhere in the UK ‘for generations’, onĺy for the last 20 or so years. That’s why, apart from some isolated IRA nonsense, we’ve never had anything like this in the UK since and before WW2, and the UK was a safe, civilised place to live. Not any more, with Muslims around! If the ABC were stupid, the BBC was nauseating. They HAD to have a civilised-sounding imam on, saying how terrible it all was, as though HE was part of the outraged English majority. And, of course, no word of apology or hint that HE was implicated through association and that this.never would have happened without HIS sort around – just the usual false righteous indignation and pretentious specious victimhood through false association. Liars to the end! And, when they were talking about local taxi drivers giving free journeys to hospitals, guess what sort of taxi driver the BBC deliberately chose to interview! If this had been wartime Norway it would have pure Quisling grovelling.

Maybe when there daughters get sexual assaulted on some ivy league campus , or there sons get killed at some concert they will get the message. They think it can not effected them the magic of them being apart of the MSM always speaking out in favor of the Islamic will protect them. They think the Islamics will apply the golden rule to just them because the MSM play nice in the playground of life. They will be in shock when they get there nose bloody and there lunch money stolen The common man will not be there to protect them.

        Also many of the West’s news outlets (newspapers, radio stations, TV stations, etc.) were bought up and consolidated years ago. And a majority of those outlets are now owned or controlled by people/organizations with nefarious connections.

      May 24, 2017 at 9:20 am

      Like the Hollywood elite, reporters today are rich people who live behind their personal walls, and have personal body guards. Yet they oppose a wall to protect our country, and they oppose citizens arming themselves. It’s confounding that they cannot feel in touch with average citizens. Islam would do itself a favor if its leaders would constantly and publicly (and privately) condemn terrorism, and promote the embrace of diversity for their people. Not just after an attack, all the time But, they do not, so it’s hard for me to feel sympathy for them.

    If we had had a better backlash after 9/11 we would be in better shape today.

        Bug the lot of ’em.

        Get non-Muslims who speak the relevant languages – e.g. Urdu-speaking Pakistani Christians, Arabic-speaking Copts and Maronites and Syrian Christians, Farsi-speaking Christians – to interpret what’s being said.

        Once you have evidence of virulent Jew-hatred with explicit incitement to kill Jews, along with incitement to kill apostates and ‘blasphemers’ of all varieties, plus advocacy of sharia practices (e.g. FGM, child ‘marriage’, polygyny) that violate infidel laws, then: raid the mosque and surprise-search it using sniffer dogs (you might well find weapons, illegal drugs, explosives or poisons or precursors for same, in which case, you will have *additional* evidence supporting a shutdown and jail terms followed by expulsion of all implicated parties), deport the imam/s and any other head honchos (after imposing jail terms as applicable), seize the assets, shut down the mosque and – if not in Infidel heritage premises that can be returned to infidel use – dynamite it or bulldoze it flat.

          The guys on ABN, Trinity Network, speak those languages and they constantly bash Islam.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      May 24, 2017 at 2:28 am

      EXACTLY.

      This idjit wittering on about how horrifying it would be if anybody did anything to Mohammedan Mobsters – after a signed-up member of the mohammedan mob **mass-murdered children** in obedience to his Cult of Blood and War – are like somebody who wailed about how awful it would be if there were any sort of ‘backlash’ against Nazis in Britain, or the Third Reich itself, after the Third Reich invaded Poland.

      This Mohammedan mass-murder of young people – and grade-school-aged *children* – in Manchester, just this week, was **an act of war**, waged by the Ummah’s Fifth Column within the UK.

      It was just as much an act of war as all the *other* atrocities the mohammedan mob has been perpetrating worldwide – e.g. just to randomly mention a few, the Pakistani Muslim jihad raid on Mumbai in 2008, the attack on infidel schoolchildren in Beslan in the Russian Federation, the kidnapping of the – almost entirely Christian – schoolgirls of Chibok by Boko Haram jihadists, the attack on the Westgate Mall in Kenya, by Al Shabaab jihadists, and the human bomb that blew himself up – in the midst of children, teenagers, and their mothers – in the Sbarro pizzeria in Israel in August 2001, murdering 15 of them and wounding 130. I thought of the Sbarro pizzeria attack as soon as I heard about this Manchester attack. In *both* cases the human bomb *deliberately* detonated himself in the middle of as dense a crowd of *young* infidels – *really* young ones, including young girls – as he could manage to find.

      ISLAM IS ALL ABOUT THE MURDER, the ritualistic murder, the desecration of Life. That is why, no matter what nonsense they might burble from time to time, the historic reality is that Muslim jihadis viciously, obsessively, and atrociously target pregnant women and little children, and prefer female targets. They love Death, they worship death and murder and blood, and so they zero in on Life. This is a sadistic human sacrifice cult. In Bulgaria in the 19th century, Muslims deliberately cut open pregnant women so they could count the foetus as a separate ‘kill’ for themselves. In the Sudan, the Janjaweed would cut off the breasts of women – including especially the breasts of nursing mothers. In Mumbai, Muslims tortured to death a *pregnant Jewish woman*. In Israel, Muslim jihadis with machineguns cornered a 9-months pregnant woman, Tali Hatuel, who was in her car with her four little daughters. The Mohammedans machine-gunned the little girls in front of her; *then* they machine-gunned *her*, raking their fire across her pregnant belly. That sort of thing tells me that Mohammedans worship Thanatos.

      May 24, 2017 at 7:35 am

      Anon is definitely on the right lines. Every mosque within 75 miles of a terrorist outrage should be immediately closed down and gone over with a fine toothcomb by the security forces.

      All Muslim faith schools should be closed and changed to secular comprehensives. The Muslim faith schools were exposed two years ago as indoctrinating the young with beliefs which were not compatible with our laws. The cowardly politicians dare not take proper steps to combat this brainwashing.

      Muslims should not be allowed to stand for our Parliament. They want Sharia law which is not compatible with out way of life and therefore are not to be trusted with being lawmakers.

    “The only way to solve this problem is to have everyone think they’re on the same side.”

    That is the Big Lie. The MSM carries the “water”, without looking in the bucket, for an ideology that defines itself distinctly as the “other” and has no intention of integrating.

    Guys like Stephanopoulos and Richard Clarke are dedicated to make us believe this is something like the 60s fight for civil rights or the difficulties of the early Irish in America. It is no such thing. Those movements were for the right to integrate and have the American Dream. Islam wants the infidels to lose their rights and nations until all are either for Allah, oppressed as dhimmis, or dead.

    Islam doesn’t want our democracy, George, they want this country, without you. Get off your butt and read from the sources, the Quran, Hadith, the writings and fatwas from Al-Azhar University. Someday you’ll realize that you are like Trotsky; thinking that Stalin is your friend.

      In the 1930,s in the United States and most Europe before Hitler invade Poland in 1939 ,almost everyone was saying Hitler is not so bad , he cannot be doing those killing all those Jews. He is over there it will not effect us , we can not judge, we have done wrong also. The Islamic teaching and way of like is on the same level as jack book Nazis , would we let Nazi teach children to murder Kaffer , steal, make slaves of Kaffer and destroy, burn all those books, art churches ,temples?, Why is it all right to do it in the name of allah. Years ago we had head hunters in the south Asia, cannibals in different area of the world. If the head hunters or cannibals were to come to the Western world as refugees would we let them still be head hunter and cannibals because that is what they believe is right and just?

    It sure is a multicultural city, actively supporting ISIS.
    Would be not be possible that a backlash in many of the “difficult zones” would happen.

    History of active area of Moss side, Manchester, where the suicide bomber was bought up.
    Written 3 months ago.

    Small part of Manchester that has been home to 16 jihadis [ISIS fighters]
    Saturday 25th February 2017
    16 convicted or dead terrorists have lived within 2.5 miles of al-Harith’s home address
    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/feb/25/small-part-of-manchester-that-has-been-home-to-16-jihadis

    It makes think that they have limited the number of fighters by just using the circle of 2.5 miles though that would be a high density zone.

    How many unknown ISIS fighters return slipping back to many UK and Euro cities, and looking to practice their life style developed from the koran, hadith sira and sunnah.

    To be looked up to, mentoring and recruiting, using their experience to bring credence to islam?

      I have got ZERO sympathy by now for any mohammedan female that, after so many allahu-akbaring mass-murder attacks, so many plots, so many individual murders (i.e. murders of one or two, as happened at HOme Hill in a backpackers’ hostel, when a Muslim stabbed two people to death, or as happened in Sydney when a young Muslim man went to a mosque, picked up a gun, walked out of the mosque, walked down the street, and *gunned down an unarmed man*, Curtis Cheng, or as happened in London when two Muslims ran over Lee Rigby with a car and then leapt upon his defenceless and mortally-wounded body and **hacked at him in a frenzy with machetes** whilst spouting Koranic verses), struts down the street wearing her Allah Gang Uniform and then has the *hide* to whine because somebody gives her a beady-eyed suspicious look, or makes a pointed remark. Wear the uniform… **be identified as a member/ camp follower of the Enemy Army**.

    I thought it was an Islamophobic trick to pick a particularly worried stop-action photo of Martha Raddatz to illustrate her concern for the backlash against the peaceful Muslims of England, but she maintains her furrowed brow throughout her report. And it is surprising that George Stephanopoulos is worried about a backlash not against Muslims but against Islam itself (“anti-Islamic”). This bombing can’t be Islamic, because it conflicts with Quran 9:5, “And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush.” Polytheist children need to be killed, but only when the Islamic calendar allows it. Well, ABC, where’s your reporting on kafir season? Have this year’s sacred months passed, or not? Or is last year’s kafir season still in effect? How come when an attack like this happens, the media do not report whether it is during a sacred month, or an open-season month? ABC, by failing to report this calendar information, you are not serving your Muslim viewers.

      I happen to be reading the novel “The Emperor’s Coloured Coat” by John Biggins, and coincidentally (synchronicity!) today I read this passage on page 112, which provokes sympathy for the ABC network correspondent Martha Raddatz for her unfortunate surname:

      “It used to be a constant source of debate in the officers’ messes of the k.u.k. Armee (my brother Anton used to tell me) which of the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s numerous garrison-towns best qualified for the title of Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Arsehole of the Danubian Monarchy. The choice usually narrowed down in the end to a run-off between a place called Radautz in the Bukovina, a province so poor and remote that no one in Vienna was even quite sure where it was, and the town of Mostar in Herzegovina, which boasted among its other attractions a pestilential, sticky, sub-tropical climate and fleas which would fight a full-grown cat.”

      It’s like a broken record, a repeating sound of a distored copy of reality. The MSM seems to be getting just the slightest notion that there may be something inherently violent in Islamic ideology, yet, still too lazy to read the foundation works of Islam. It seems to be getting shrill with a message of a peaceful Islam, similar to its shrillness that Trump has colluded with the Russians. Holding on to these notions, without evidence, is going to leave the MSM with the credibility of Maxine Waters.

    Same on BBC. Lots of Muslim sport stars saying that the Koran forbids killing of innocents. True I guess, but of course according to Sharia, innocents don’t include gays, blasphemers, apostates, non-muslims, or the relatives and children of any of these people. So virtually everyone can be murdered with religious blessing.

    What we never get on TV is a Muslim cleric repudiating the violent verses of the Koran. They could so easily do that. Say that those verses are wrong. That apostates and blasphemers should be left alone. That gay people have a right to life. That killing kuffar as described in the Koran, the striking of necks…..is just a typo and should be repudiated. This will never happen. Until it dies happen, that religion and its manual of death is a threat to civilization. It justifies murder, rape, abuse, slavery in the name of a God.

    And yet, there is no backlash. There is tolerance. It is a blindness to the truth.

      He can prove, but you cannot prove that teachings of islam , the ideology of rape, robbery, murder and hatred invented by a possessed madman who had been a servant of father of all lies, the angel of evil him self, the Satan. Jihad is a war against unbelievers, and unbelievers are all of them who do not please the standards of a madman’s ideology. And war is not just a crush between armies, but also a terrorism against civilians. So, this an all the other attacks are made in the name and for the sake of jihad, the war for establishing supreme rule of Satan and his prophet. And, for all others, there is no dialogue with evil, nor tolerance for it.
      And ibrahim itace muhammed, you posted a threat, in your own words “digging your own grave”. So, it must be that you are one of those peaceful slaves of alah? A peaceful follower of a “religion of peace”? Oh, I must offended you and your ‘precious” merchant, and his god… Am I to receive the punishment for that?

      “It is repeated on the authority of Sa’bbJaththama that the Prophet of Allah when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said, they are from them.” Sahih Muslim bk. 019, n4321 {There’s your answer}

      Then there were those some 800 men and BOYS of the Banu Qurayza being bound and beheaded over a ditch, an event eagerly presided over by Muhammad.

      “I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy).”–Bukhari v4 b52 n220

      “Terror struck in the hearts of the enemies is not only a means, it is an end in itself. Once a condition of terror into the opponents hearts is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved. It is the point where the means and the ends merge.” S.K. Malik

      “Summon the people to God, those who respond to your call, accept it from them, but those who refuse must pay the poll-tax out of humiliation and lowliness (Qur’an 9:29). If they refuse this, it is the sword without leniency.” –Caliph Umar b. al-Khattab’s orders for the conquest of Iraq

      Qur’an 8:67 “It is not for a prophet to have captives (prisoners of war) until he has made a great slaughter in the land.”

      “No Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality of punishment) for killing a kaffir.” Bukhari v9b83n50
      “A Believer will not be killed for an infidel.” Abu Dawud b39n4491

      “There are no animals viler than those who do not believe and remain unbelievers.” Qur’an 8:55

      Sahih Bukhari v.1 bk 2 n.25 “Allah’s Apostle said ‘I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped (but Allah) and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform all that, then they save their lives and property from me.” {“then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands–Sahih Muslim}. ONLY THEN are there lives and property safe.

      The blood and property of the kuffar are for the taking (permissible to the Muslims) absent a (temporary) peace treaty or dhimmi pact. So, Sheikh Omar Bakri could say to Wafa Sultan in 2012: “When I go to Europe or Britain…their blood and property have no protection except through a peace treaty or a dhimmi pact… the general rule is that the blood and property of non-Muslims are permissible for us. Their blood and property are not inviolable. It is in their interest to have a peace treaty or dhimmi pact with me.. either you accept it or we live in a state of war. A Muslim coexists with an infidel either through a peace treaty, a dhimmi pact, or a state of war.”

      “As for those who cannot offer resistance or cannot fight, such as women, children, monks, old people, the blind, the handicapped and their like, they should not be killed, unless they actually fight with words (e.g. propaganda) and acts (e.g. by spying or otherwise assisting in the warfare). Some (jurists) are of the opinion that ALL OF THEM may be killed, on the mere ground that they are unbelievers, but they make an exception for women and children AS THEY CONSTITUTE PROPERTY FOR MUSLIMS.”
      –Ibn Taymiyyah, The Religious and Moral Doctrine of Jihad, p.28

      Terrorist attacks on unarmed civilians, and the merciless slaughter of entire populations, has been the Islamic norm for fourteen centuries. This is how 80 million people “disappeared” over a millennium in India alone.

      “Allah instilled such fear among the infidels that they did not dare go and fight the conquerors, they only approached them as supplicants, to beg for peace.”–17th cent. historian al-Maqqari on the panic created by Arab horsemen and sailors and how it enabled conquest

      • Jack Diamond says

        May 24, 2017 at 11:41 am

        and the bottom line is that in Islam the path to paradise is through the blood of the disbelievers (Qur’an 9:111) for the sake of blood thirsty allah, the grave digger par excellence. That is perverted, but not a “perverted view on Jihad”. It is the essence of it.

    May 24, 2017 at 5:59 am

    The fact is, if an Egyptian Coptic Christian committed a suicide bombing in Cairo and killed lots of Muslim children (obviously has never and will never happen), then Egyptian Muslims would commit a pogrom en mass against the Copts. Actually, Egyptian Muslims do commit pogroms against Copts for the heinous ‘crime’ of building or repairing their churches.

    Counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke said. “The only way to solve this problem is to have everyone think they’re on the same side.” What a submissive piece of logic that is. We are on the side of western civilisation, and the Muslims – who have ‘migrated in the cause of Allah’ (their doctrine of Hijra) – are on the side of a totalitarian, theocratic ideology, whose holy scriptures command them to wage jihad or holy war against infidels to subjugate their religions and cultures.

    How did Clarke become a counterterrorism expert? And whose side does he think we should be on? With Muslims, it’s either their way or no way! Has he not read the Quran or any of the other Islamic scriptures? He could start with Quran 2:190-193, 2:216, 3:157-158, 4:74, 8:39, 9:5, 9:29, 9:73.

    Does Clarke not understand that Islam will not tolerate any opposition?

Because christianity has the same source with idol worship( all inspired by satan),the satan appears to idol worshiper in the form of a creature with eyes inside eyes and they invoke it to perform magic.christians also invoke the satan they call holy spirit to perform magic they consider a miracle( a bunch of lies) .one such christian magic is dancing idol of Fatima in portugal ,which they believe to be virgin mary descending on the statue of a muslim lady called Fatima forced to convert to christianity during ethnic cleansing and force conversion of muslims to filthy christianity in spain and portugal.look at this madness!!.

    Why is there a picture of President Trump at the bottom of the screen? Are they trying to blame him for all of this?

    This is also likely to inflame anti-Islamic sentiment across Britain, across Europe

    No, it’s not likely – it is certain. But no worries, nothing will come of it. A few strongly worded blog posts/comments, and then business as usual.

    Cripes! The bodies of the dead had not yet been properly disposed as yet and others no doubt fighting for their lives and we hear the predictable cries of , ‘But, what about the danger to the local Muslim community?’ Am I trapped in an episode of the “Twilight Zone”?

    Every time barbarian Muslims attack, there is hand wringing by the left that it will spark anti-Muslim acts. It never happens. Perhaps there might be a comment directed toward a woman wearing a garbage bag or scarf on her head, but I know of no incident of violence. Do these MSM hope there will be violence against Muslims so they will have something to talk about?

    But if I had a child injured or killed by these Neanderthals, I might become a bit violent.

    “have everyone think they’re on the same side.”

    This is evil, satanic, beastly. The fact that he thought it is bad enough, but to try to influence people to “think” they are on the side of those who so easily slaughter little children is beyond beastly, beyond words to describe just how evil it is.

    He wants people to stop resisting the evil, and feel themselves “subdued”….to give in to satan and his beast, to accept the evil as a part of one’s life.

    The newscaster is projecting a western image of islam in the sence that if the suicide assasin were western liberal, thats the retaliation she would fear.She as high profiled surrounded by ( proxy) assimilating able islamfolowers laced and convincing. The violent ways of arab/islamic lifestyle is beyond her projecting options. She adhere to the editor in chief and the chairmen, in effect she is gagged. She might hold views personally.upbringing of violent kids is shaming arabs as savages.they get ousted and remains often in selfbred echo chamber, reinforcing there delusional supremacy attitudes.but it simple. The mimetic effects – that u desire your nabours belongings – is emminent, arabs dont wont isis, they wanr the west, the believers living west deemed to hell, kill and suicidebomb to get to heaven instead. Remember only the believers ( some call them insane) can pull it. Moderate muslims are willing to strive for heaven full of thugs suicidebombers? If they denounce isis they denounce allah mahound and the quran. Witch they live by. Thing is, once violence programmed upbringing islamic , you adhere to this lifestule western irrirates you like a stone in the shoe.one day this narrative will be cast broad.until support places like this.

    The proper violent ( military) response would be to nuclear bombing saudi arabia and iran into pure dust, to kill a few muslims would be insignificant. The moderates who just want to go on about there lives, are as a mass guilty in whitewashing the scheme of striving good versus bad deeds, in that it inforces the believebillity of the afterlife sanctions ( hell/heaven), that triggers the believers ( insane) massmurderer instincts.
    More peacefull than atomic bomb would be abc mentioning ( reveiling) this.

    To quote The Federalist, “NO EXCUSES FOR A RELIGION GONE RABID”.

    Read musician and author Morrissey’s tweet that expresses the anger and frustration citizens in the West feel for our mealy mouthed politicians and media for their refusal to call out Islamic Terrorism for what it is.

    Let’s hope it “inflames some anti-Islamic sentiment”. It’s about friggin’ time for that, I’d say. Time for my fellow Lefties to wake up to the reality of World War III.

    What that bitch expected?. That the jihad massacre would inflame pro-Islam infatuation?

    And you wonder why Trump wants to ban Muslims. The Muslims want to control the world under sharia law. And the idiots on the left want to let them come here.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      There is at least one Lefty — Yours Truly — who definitely does not want to allow Muslims to come to the West, or remain in the West.

      The True Believers of Islam have declared war on the civilized world — again. And since there’s no way to sort out the True Believers from the slack-ass moderates, there’s no way civilized societies will be safe as long as they’re allowed to live and breed among us — growing stronger at the expense of democracy, liberty, human rights, and the physical safety of infidels.

      Although I’ve never seen them state it quite that bluntly, I’m pretty sure there are a few others on the political left who feel the same way.

    Uh, the poor babies!
    They shed innocent blood without mercy in the name of their religion…
    violent and bloody massacres spread all over the global landscape…
    then they are called to the carpet for it…
    and then they cry like…
    babies!
    Oh, the poor victims!
    Boo-hoo-hoo for the poor babies…
    now their feelings might get hurt and their toes
    stepped on, oh what horror awaits them,
    alas!

    Why do the ABC Scumbags have a picture of the President associated with this story of Islamic Aholes.
    1) Make amendment to constitution outlawing the use of Sharia Law.
    2) Name clerics that preach Jihad enemies of the state and have a Nuremberg Trial like we did with the Nazis. Call it the Baghdad trials. Hang the bastards.
    3) Anyone committing jihad is an enemy of the state and charge them with crimes against humanity.

    The #MainstreamMedia continuously pimps the backlash scenario. It’s their default position. The headline should be “Another Muslim Terror Attack” but the enemedia always refer to Muslims as victims because there is nothing else to counter the obvious fact that Muslims following Islamic texts and teachings are the cause of all terror attacks.

    Why is Martha Raddatz still on the air? Wasn’t she last seen on election night teary-eyed when it Trump was declared the winner on election night? Oh’…I forgot “liberal bias” is okay. Never mind.

    The ABC WORRIES about anti-islamic sentiment? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FOOLING ABC?
    Get the murdering cult of mohammedanism OUT.
    WHAT ABOUT THE 22 GIRLS DEAD YA B’s. Utter low grade malignant malicious despicable LITTLE retarded ABC. ……..
    This “religion” which is not….. is not fooling us anymore. They – the mohammedans – are murderers. And the placid ones are just the same …. they do not do anything but bludge and say “how horrible… we do not condone this sort of behaviour… after all islime is a religion of peace”
