“The mayor of Portland, Ore., is calling on federal authorities to cancel a pair of upcoming rallies organized by conservative groups, saying the city was still ‘in shock’ after two men were fatally stabbed on a commuter train Friday while fending off a man shouting anti-Muslim slurs.”
So says the Washington Post, following the establishment media that this was an “Islamophobic hate crime.” The truth is, as always, different from the media narrative. In reality, this is one part of Jeremy Joseph Christian’s rant: “You don’t like it? You got a problem with what I’m saying? F*** all you Christians and Muslims and f****** Jews , f****** die. Burn you at the stake… f****** die.”
That’s right: he railed against Jews, Christians, and Muslims. But there are so few actual hate crimes against Muslims, belying the establishment media narrative that Muslims are routinely victimized in the U.S., and so this one will have to do, and is being pressed into service to shore up the sagging “Islamophobia” narrative.
Meanwhile, contrary to establishment media claims that Christian was abusing two Muslim women, here is a video of one of the women he was yelling at. If she is Muslim, she is not showing it by wearing hijab or any other visible sign of her faith.
Despite the facts of the case, Portland’s fascist mayor, Ted Wheeler, is seizing upon Jeremy Joseph Christian’s crime to try to shut down free speech and anti-Sharia rallies in his city. A maniac killed two people, and so therefore dissent from the establishment line and opposition to a legal system that denies basic rights to women and non-Muslims must be forbidden.
“Portland mayor asks feds to bar free-speech and anti-sharia rallies after stabbings,” by Derek Hawkins, Washington Post, May 30, 2017 (thanks to Darcy):
The mayor of Portland, Ore., is calling on federal authorities to cancel a pair of upcoming rallies organized by conservative groups, saying the city was still “in shock” after two men were fatally stabbed on a commuter train Friday while fending off a man shouting anti-Muslim slurs.
Mayor Ted Wheeler asked the federal government to revoke a permit authorizing a June 4 “Trump Free Speech Rally” in Portland’s downtown. He also called on the government to block a “March Against Sharia” that is scheduled for June 10 but has not received permits.
“Our city is in mourning, our community’s anger is real, and the timing and subject of these events can only exacerbate an already difficult situation,” Wheeler wrote in a Facebook post Monday.
He added that he had asked the organizers of the rallies, which he referred to as “alt-right demonstrations,” to cancel their events.
“I urge them to ask their supporters to stay away from Portland,” Wheeler wrote. “There is never a place for bigotry or hatred in our community, and especially not now.”
The federal government controls permitting for the plaza where both rallies are set to take place. The city of Portland will not issue any of its own permits allowing organizers to hold the events elsewhere, Wheeler said.
Portland has spent several days reeling from the deaths of Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche, 23, and Ricky John Best, 53, who were stabbed and killed as they tried to protect two young women from a man who boarded a light-rail train and began yelling hateful comments about Muslims at them. A third man who intervened was injured.
The suspect, 35-year-old Jeremy Joseph Christian, has a history of making bigoted comments online and was photographed giving a Nazi salute at a recent protest organized by the group behind the “Trump Free Speech Rally.” Local publications as well as the Southern Poverty Law Center have described him as a “known white supremacist.” He is charged with aggravated murder, attempted murder and other charges….
And the Southern Poverty Law Center is a trustworthy source because…?
The organizer of the “Trump Free Speech Rally,” Joey Gibson, sought to distance himself and his group, Patriot Prayer, from Christian, especially as reports surfaced that he appeared at the group’s other events. In a video posted to Facebook on Sunday, Gibson condemned Christian and said antifa protesters were trying to incite chaos at the upcoming rally by exploiting the attacks on the train.
“There’s going to be more intensity, there’s going to be more threats,” Gibson said. “They’re using the deaths of these two people and Jeremy Christian — they’re using it to get Portland all rowdy about our June 4 rally and it’s absolutely disgusting.”
Gibson urged his supporters to remain calm. “You throw one punch, you’re going to jail,” he said.
A Facebook page for the event says the rally will feature live music and “speakers exercising their free speech.”
The “March Against Sharia,” which Gibson is also involved in, says Islamic law “is incompatible with our Constitution and American values.” The event page calls on supporters who “stand for human rights.”
The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon criticized the mayor’s attempts to shut down both rallies, saying the government can’t revoke or deny a permit based on the demonstrators’ views.
“It may be tempting to shut down speech we disagree with,” the ACLU tweeted, “but once we allow the government to decide what we can say, see, or hear, or who we can gather with, history shows us that the most marginalized will be disproportionately censored and punished for unpopular speech.”
“If we allow the government to shut down speech for some, we all will pay the price down the line,” the organization added….
In April, Portland’s typically family-friendly rose parade was canceled after antifa activists threatened to shut down roads if a Republican group wasn’t barred from the event. And earlier this month, dozens of “black bloc” anarchists destroyed property at May Day protests….

Only one was a Muslima sporting a hijab. The girl pictured above is not the Muslima. The WP has retracted their initial “2 Muslima” claim.
Dhimmitude’s come to Portland. The mayor is a dhimmi. He may as well start paying the jizya.
john spielman says
the FEDS can never cancel a free speech event this Lieberal mayor better put om his BIG BOY pants on if he wants to govern the city
besides the murderer was shouting anti Christian and anti Jewish epithets as well!
Kay says
But those facts are so easily overlooked. You have to find the right article and read all the way to the last paragraph– in spite of the headline.
Westman says
The Mayor of Portland is calling for de facto Federal Marshal Law? When did a rally rise to the level of a nuclear holocaust? Why doesn’t he just call out the National Guard and embarrass himself instead of trying to drag the Trump administration in….wait, uh, is that the plan?
Will Doohan says
Martial law.
Westman says
Sorry about that mate, lucky I didn’t misspell it as marital.

Remember they get the paid thugs in Portland as well as people easily cowed into accepting all that is pc and homeless people from across the country who could easily join the paid crowd as well.

Let’s see, one muslims gets her feelings hurt. horrible!
Two patriots die in her defense, but the whole incident is billed as an affront to pislam.
Did the two kuffars die defending her, as they were supposed to or
did the two patriots sacrifice their all for another?
underbed cat says
Silencing free speech is the goal of Islam,…..so no one can see what is the source of terror is actually written in a un-peaceful book called the Quran. It is forbidden in Islam to allow the infidel, non believers, atheists, kuffar, knowledge about sharia and terrorism. So why is the mayor trying to silence free speech, instead of allowing the warnings…. yes that is a.good question.
kessler says
Yes – the good old “don’t play in the hands of terrorists – they want to divide our society” tactic.
This time based on an outright lie that this was an islamophobic attack.
The left is craving for evidence of islamophobia, so when it doesn’t happen, they just make it up and twist the truth.
Anyway – I hope nothing will stop sensible people from speaking out against Islamism and jihad terror. Doing so is not causing division. The ones disassociating themselves from our Western democracy is what is causing division – no amount of submission and apologies can prevent this.
ensitue says
The attack was a False Flag; Portland has always been a corrupt and venal city, in the early days the Politicians took bribes and allowed human trafficking; PPL were drugged in the city and kidnapped far up the Columbia river, many died from the drugs and their bodies dumped on the way to Portland. The city is run by sexual perverts and needs be nuked from space.

RAB says
Tell me again why I should hate Islam but love Muslims. After studying the Koran, the Sirah, and the Hadith, I see no reason to change my opinion that every man, woman, and child who professes to be Muslim directly or indirectly supports an inherently violent and intolerant ideology dedicated to imposing Shariah on the world and is therefore an existential threat to western society (and me personally).
JawsV says
I completely agree, RAB. And we shouldn’t love Nazis and their ideology Nazism, either.
revereridesagain says
People chatter so much about how “faith” must never be questioned that we forget that adults, at least, are responsible for what they choose to believe, whether based on unquestioning blind faith or reason. If they choose to follow Islam and support its advocacy of violence against unbelievers, they are as guilty as any Nazis or Stalinists or Maoists even if they never carry out a physical attack. In war we cannot afford to coddle the enemy’s “noncombatants” at the cost of our own survival.
Jedothek says
OK, I’ll tell you again . The majority of Muslims in the world do not live according the violent passages in the Quran etc. that you’ve read. They’re ordinary folks who try to get by and commit a mixture of good and bad deeds just like your friends. Muslims no more obey every command in scripture than Christians live according to the sermon on the Mount. If a majority of the world’s 1.7 billion Muslims lived as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah and Hamas would like them to, the news each day would be vastly worse even than it is.
Further , at least half of Muslims, e.g. women, are not perpetrators but victims of Islamic law.
Mark Swan says
Muslims being those who have the Quran for a source of morality, know it says they can lie.
Those who have read the Quran, know the intent of Islam is about control, nothing less, and all of its followers, know that they are required to wage Jihad on all those that are not Muslim, plainly written in
the Quran.
Muslims can not let up on Jihad until everyone is conquered by Islam.
No one can take Islam lightly; we are talking of a very organized and real centuries old movement, that
has always had its heart set on conquering the world, with real resources, determination, many allies and perceived opportunity now supporting it.
So even though only a few hundred million admit they support Jihad, ok, now you can go ahead and aknowledge the lying factor, and realize this is a tremendous movement.
We here know Islam and its intent for power makes it an insurgency prepared under the guise of religion for theocratic rule—we realize that subversive exploit of all manner is being unleashed through our free society.
The Islam movement has it’s star leadership—we all know it by its name.
The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928 in Egypt, an organization that established Islam as a modern movement. It was, and remains to this day the ideological heart of all the later Islamic groups.
Firstly, focus – for now –to come to terms with a political left which has totally lost its moral compass and political bearings. Islam has embedded the strategic effort of divide and conquer , and with a working goal, that seeks to meld with certain movements, and beyond that, exchange Islam, in the place of the former left’s territory—that is their hope.
Islam such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Hammas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime do not hide their goal –the re-constituting of democratic societies and their replacement by a sharia-based dictatorial rule. All Muslim Nations support this.
In the mind of Islam, the Democracy way of life, constitutes, rebellion against obedience to Islam, It has to be changed. Total obedience must be to the orders and prohibitions of Islam’s Law. The Islam belief is that allowing people political and personal freedom amounts to heresy.
It is astonishingly so troublesome, that, the political left has enabled Islam, it is so disturbing how they have fell in with such fellowship—but they have—no news there—yet.
With the left resisting anything conservative, it will not recognize Islam hating constitutional freedom as wrong—not yet.
Multiculturalism has been the Ideal for so long, that any criticism of any group, is not acceptable unless it is the group (s) that the “In People” say is ok to criticize. If this is allowed to continue we will not be able to share any honest, open and diverse opinions of our own—we may even accept a warped collective mindset.
Islam’s threat to our personal freedom is not a point of discussion in academia nor any public forum of any kind—this is a strong political fail-safe for Islam to enjoy—for now—that is changing.
There is no other active anti-Democracy movement like Islam.
You can not be for Islam, and against Fascism.
Islam is about Islam—but does not have the wherewithal for a free people.
Rev G says
Come on Mr. Mayor, get with the times! You should not make victims of non-muslims. One non-muslims actions should not be construed as representative of all non-muslims. I think muslims should all drop their hijabs, grab some pork rinds or bacon, and learn what it is like to be an infidel. A day of solidarity with non-muslims.. just like they encourage us to do after a muslim shoots up a nightclub or concert or such.
Trying to repress the rights of non-muslims because of the actions of one mentally ill extremist is victimization of a large class of people. How dare you.
gravenimage says
This creep hated Jews, Christians, and Muslims. He was not just targeting Muslims.
Mark Swan says
No he was not targeting Muslims, he was enraged, any target would have suited him.
He will pay for it now.

Telling lies and trying to cajole, shame, embarrass, threaten, intimidate, etc,. people into servitude to the beast has not worked. Their phobia word has not worked as well as they thought it would. People are still talking and telling the truth and resisting bowing to the beast.
Now, unlawful *laws* and restrictions will be used to force compliance, to force worship.
revereridesagain says
They are already doing that, dragging schoolchildren to mosques and forcing them to bow. They will try to impose more of it on us, but they must not be allowed to get away with it. The POTUS has to uphold the 1st Amendment absolutely in this, because there are going to be riots this summer instigated by the Left which will try to use the violence they commit to impose Sharia on us.

Cut this attacker some slack. It had to be mental illness, like the many mental illness “misunderstanding” attacks by those professing Islam. Goose and gander, you know.

You do realize how quickly a white “Christian” is actually named in the “enemedia” vs. say, a bad acting (bomb, blade, firearm) Muslim…

Diane Harvey says
It’s gonna take an express Supreme Court ruling that states that hate speech, so-called, is NOT an exception to the 1st Amendment. The left has hung its hat on this mantra so frequently that many have come to believe it. The only bound on speech is speech that expressly calls for imminent physical harm to others.
Here’s a really scary prospect (which is playing out on Trump’s travel ban EOs). If eight federal judges – one in a district court, two in an appeals court panel (en banc will be denied), and five in SCOTUS – approve it, you can do anything.
John Krupa says
With laws suppressing the freedom of speech, the ONLY ENTITY for which such freedom will remain is:
THE GOVT … and their corrupt political ALLIES!
In short order, in such an event, we will cease to be a govt OF, BY AND FOR the PEOPLE … where no longer will we be FREEBORN CITIZENS!
In such an event say: goodbye” to ALL FREEDOMS … as then we will ALL be SUBJECTS!
LR says
Remember though, we have laws supporting freedom of speech…We as ‘a people’, need to make sure it stays that way…

Portland is turning into Berkeley North.
NO, don’t cancel the March Against Sharia! Sharia must be opposed 100% of the time – every second of every day.

Sadly it has become widely known in the area as a “white supremacist” group because this guy had attended other rallies.
mortimer says
Portland’s Mayor Ted Wheeler does not understand the reason that America’s founders put such emphasis on the freedom of speech.
-“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington
-In 1785, James Madison, Father of the Constitution, wrote, “We hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth that religion or the duty which we owe our Creator and the manner of discharging it can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence.”
– “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” – Harry S. Truman
-“The principle of free thought is not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought we hate.” -Oliver Wendell Holmes, US Supreme Court Justice, in United States v. Schwimmer (1929).
-“Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.” -Noam Chomsky, Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992).
-“The price of freedom of religion, or of speech, or of the press, is that we must put up with a good deal of rubbish.” – Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief justice at the Nuremburg Trials
U.S. law values and permits the right to blaspheme.
-Justice Clark in 1952 wrote: “[I]t is enough to point out that the state has no legitimate interest in protecting any or all religions from views distasteful to them. … It is not the business of government in our nation to suppress real or imagined attacks upon a particular religious doctrine.”
-Justice Frankfurter noted that beliefs that are “dear to one may seem the rankest ‘sacrilege’ to another,” and added concerning “blasphemous” speech: “[H]istory does not encourage reliance on the wisdom and moderation of the censor.”
“Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficient.” -Louis D. Brandeis, American lawyer
Conclusion: Political debate is saying what someone else does not want the public to hear. Everything else is public relations.

“There is never a place for bigotry or hatred in our community, and especially not now.” The bigotry and hatred is on the Muslims side.
Shmooviyet says
Yes– and am wondering about that “and especially not now”. Will the mayor use that same line after a nightclub or summer fete in his city is targeted?
Leftist leaders, media, etc. believe there is a bit of wiggle room in a statement like his– when the bigotry/hatred is ‘expressed’ by a follower of islam.
‘Cultural’ hatred and violence get a sort of pass from the islamapologists. A little “our thoughts and prayers” hooey for the victims, and all is forgiven.
Keys says
The Portland mayor says “There is never a place for bigotry or hatred in our community, and especially not now”; and he says it with repressive bigotry and seething hatred against those who whom he disagrees, especially now.

Absolutely Keys

isntlam,
There is also plenty of hatred on the neo-Nazi side…
Hatred isn’t bound up in only one ideology.
Jedothek says
Why is the federal government involved in issuing permits for rallies in Portland anyway? This is not a rhetorical question.
Mark Swan says
Just the fact that the numbers are there to elect a President and majority in the House and Senate,
stirs those who would manipulate law and public opinion.
Even the extremely biased ACLU admits this is still America.
Wheeler’s statement that the city would deny permits to alt-right demonstrators will
raise constitutional issues. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, governments can Issue permits for peaceful protests as long as they “treat all groups the same.”
“The government cannot impose permit restrictions or deny a permit simply because it does not like the message of a certain speaker or group,” according to the ACLU.
ACLU legal director, tweeted on Monday that “government censorship is not the answer. We must defend the constitution even when it is uncomfortable.”
Keep This In Mind, we are constantly under attack:
“There are those who would very much like to see the attributes of U.S. nationhood fade away. It is not just the power of the United States that they fear; what they fear is the set of ideas that still makes the United States the most powerful nation on earth. For the ideas of America are a sign of contradiction to the way the rest of the world operates.
The power of these ideas to inspire people all over the globe creates an ongoing challenge to those who think the world should be organized on very different principles
Some people confuse material prosperity with freedom. They think that governments can assign a share of material prosperity to everyone, providing that the freedom to worship, think, and act is curtailed for the common good. They do not understand that prosperity and invention arise out of spiritual and intellectual freedom. They want to impose limits and barriers. They want to isolate human beings as individuals not connected to traditional social units, such as families, neighborhoods, and churches. In place of families, they think of collectives, planning and rules set by experts. They start with the notion of redistribution.
It is not surprising that the re-distribution-ists identify the spirit of America as the most dangerous threat in the world to their outlook.
If the United States remains an independent leader, then the global collective of nations would be in mortal danger. That global collective is the United Nations. “

(Her headgear shows that she’s an Adidas Muslim. It’s an obscure sect.)
If a Muslim jihadist mows down people with automatic weapons, or blows them to bits with a pressure cooker bomb or a suicide vest after screeching “Allahu Akbar!” does the mayor of Portlandia order all the mosques in town shut down and ban CAIR from holding pressers to complain about “Islamophobia”? But one nutjob on a train rails at Muslims AND Christians AND Jews and the First Amendment gets thrown out the window? That even the ACLU is calling foul and defending the essence of free speech shows that this is a vicious and targeted attack on our most essential rights.

Catherine says
Portland has really gone over the edge — the left edge. Lately it has made almost as much news as Berkeley in terms of protests-turned-riot.
In fact most of Oregon is quite conservative; it is only a “blue” state thanks to the larger cities, in much the same way as Washington state & to a lesser extent Calfornia (my state). Those of us who vote in favor of such things as crime prevention & the Bill of Rights tend to be disenfranchised by the left wing in the cities as well as the left-leaning, corrupt state governments.
Yesterday I heard that the perpetrator is less of an alt-right winger (whatever that is) than a big druggie who happened to vote for Bernie Sanders. More of a wack job than anything else. The knee-jerk reaction of the media: Islamophobia!! Hate crime!! White supremacist!! made me automatically leery & inclined to look for “the rest of the story”. I suspect that those of us who pay attention will find out more as this case proceeds.
I’m thinking the mayor’s suppressing of the two conservative groups’ freedom to peacefully assemble has more to do with a predictable violent reaction by Antifa & the like, than with the public’s “feelings about the incident on the bus…
Kay says
Media or social media has disseminated the story that the conservative groups are “white supremacists” because of this man’s attendance at some functions.
Ashley says
I must be dense…
I fail to see how scrapping an anti-Sharia and a free speech rally could be seen as an exercise on sensitivity. Two men were murdered by a deranged individual spouting off about Christians, Jews and Muslims. Hideous, yes. What the hell does that have to do with the upcoming rallies? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Apples and oranges.
I’m glad the ACLU is stepping up to the plate on this matter.
Walter Sieruk says
As much as the stealth jihadists may attempt to in their sly subtle and insidious ways to have Sharia law set up in the United States there are and will always be many alert and vigilant Americans who will block their Islamic quest of having Sharia law enacted in the USA.
Furthermore there is a message that need to be send to those same stealth jihadist who live in this country.. The message that needs to known to all the Muslims who live in the United States of America who dislike and maybe even despise the US Constitution and would like to replace it with Sharia law. Those same Muslims instead in trying to force Sharia law on American citizens and their nation those are free to leave and really should leave the USA and then go to live in either Shii ‘ite, Iran or Sunni , Saudi Arabia if they actually feel the Sharia law is the grand, great and wonderful .
Moreover, all this is a strong reminder of the wise words declared by Theodore Roosevelt in a speech. “There can be no fifty –fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism , only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
David Conell says
How long before Democratic Party leadership realizes the shortest distance to silencing their opponents is adapting Islam and with it, a form of American Sharia?

This is what provoked him to kill. They died being SJWs defending two religious bigots from verbal abuse by a racist bigot.

to shut down free speech and anything anti-muslim. In other words, contradicting the
constitution itself in favor of muslims.
Well, I will not be silenced!
I will speak my mind and do so freely.
I will also criticize islam and sharia for all the evil it contains, and
rally against it every chance I get.
They are just looking for springboards to launch their agenda on, like I know.

That mayor is violating not just Constitution Amendment 1, but the federal laws:
Federal Law 414 bans Muslims
http://www.usacarry.com/forums/off-topic/53275-islam-law-prohibited-us-immigration.html
Islam, by law, is prohibited from US immigration
Islam, by law, is prohibited from US immigration
The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.” This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House.
The laws prohibits entry of “Aliens who the consular officer or the Attorney General knows or has reason to believe seek to enter the United States solely, principally, or incidentally to engage in activities which would be prejudicial to the public interest, or endanger the welfare, safety, or security of the United States.” It also prohibits the entry of Aliens who are members of or affiliated with any organization that advocates or teaches, the overthrow by force, violence, or other unconstitutional means of the US or of all forms of law, and Aliens who publish, circulate and distribute materials teaching or advocating the overthrow by force, violence or other unconstitutional means of the US Government or of all forms of law.
Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any “organization” that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited. It also prohibits those who distribute literature that advocates the overthrow of our country, which would include the Koran.
In fact, there are many verses in the Koran that command Islamists to kill those who do not submit to allah and the prophet. If Congress so desired to hold the White House accountable to the current immigration of refugees (which also must comply with the law), it has the Immigration and Nationality Act to cite. The Administration is breaking that law. The question is “does Congress have the political will to do something about it?” Or shall we be a nation like that in Isaiah 59:14 where, “justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” I think you know the answer, at least for now. But there are a handful of Congressmen who are studying this. Pray.
