Another propagation of the “Islamophobia” narrative.
No matter how valid a criticism of Islam or a Muslim may be, it’s “Islamophobic” to enunciate it. Trump was absolutely right to criticize Khan over his response to the London Bridge jihad attack.
It would be more accurate to say that CNN’s Jim Acosta is defending London Mayor Sadiq Khan because he is a Muslim.
“CNN’s Acosta: Was Trump ‘Attacking the Mayor of London Because He Is Muslim?”, by Pam Key, Breitbart, June 5, 2017:
Monday at the White House press briefing, CNN reporter Jim Acosta asked if President Donald Trump criticized London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Twitter because he was Muslim.
Acosta said, “There are going to be folks who are going to ask the question was the president attacking the major of London because he is Muslim.”
White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, “Not at all…..
John A. Marre says
And this is how it goes. There is ONE prominent politicians who wants to protect us from Muslims, and he’s shot down for everything he says or does. Islam is the problem.
DAI says
He`s a Peter rick
Michael says
This is email i sent to Corry Bernardi one nation and ALA and Lambies office /
UK Labour Jeremy Corbyn and the London major have been linked to terrorist organisations and hate preachers i wonder how many politicians in Australia are in the same treasonous boat? Why are they not charged under the terrorism laws? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-27/london-mayors-ties-extremism-call-commitment-fighting-terror-question
Andy says
Jim Acosta has Moslem on the brain. A disease which is a particular abnormal condition, a disorder of a structure or function, that affects part or all of an organism. The study of disease is called pathology which includes the study of cause. Disease is often construed as a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs of being moslem sympathizers.
Andy says
Acosta is with commie news network and is in bed with every radical organization except the Flag of the good ole U.S.A. and Patriots! God Bless You President Trump!
PUT THE TRAVEL BAN IN PLACE A.S.A.P. WE NEED IT MORE THAN EVER!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN & ALL OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION!
BC says
Khan
BC says
Trump would have said exactly the same if the mayor had been of any faith
Arild Ejsing says
Trump would probably have said the same to any person with same attitude as the London major, but which faith is most likely to produce people with that kind og attitude?
mortimer says
Acosta is a cuck whitewashing Khan, an obvious leader of the fifth column of terrorists. Saddiq Khan is a former defense attorney of terrorists. What makes Acosta believe the Khan, terrorists’ lawyer, has changed his spots?
Does Acosta think that Londoners should ACCEPT TERRORISM as the new normal? Does Acosta believe no one should try to stop the terrorists? That everyone should surrender to Islam?
no_one says
I am afraid that soon the west will start saying that everyone should accept islam in the name of peace.
aDhimmiSaysWhat? says
I sincerely hope you are wrong. But it feels like that is the next logical step that will come from the left
Jayell says
“Does Acosta think that Londoners should ACCEPT TERRORISM as the new normal?” Well, ‘British’-Pakistani ‘Mayor’ Khan certainly does. To quote this spurious travesty of the UK democratic process, Londoners should accept that this sort of thing is ‘part and parcel’ of living in a ‘global city’, and it’s ‘nothing to get worked up about’ (or whatever the stupid, patronisingly insulting quote is). Well, Khan doesn’t seem to realise that it’s actually supposed to be the ENGLISH capital city, the home of modern democracy, where things are supposed to happen in a generally orderly and civilised fashion, and people can overwhelmingly be trusted to obey the law and respect each other to the extent that the police don’t have to be armed. Or so it was until recent years, strangely coinciding with a time when when persons of a somewhat different persuasion arrived. But Khan clearly seems know all about that as he suggests that we all sink to the standards that he appears to understand so well.
Spencer Warren says
In the past Khan spoke on platforms with radical jihadists. His being mayor of London is testimony to how low Britain has fallen.
common sense says
I’m more than ‘alarmed’ at seeing armed police in the streets due to the frequency and severity of muslim jihad attacks. I’m angry and stressed out. Ding ding ding hello? Be alarmed another attack could happen at any time.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Looking at whether Trump’s criticism of the Moslem Mayor makes no sense at all, much like looking at the contents of the Holy Ko-Ran and Hadiths makes no sense when judging criticism of Islam. Oh wait, nobody would ever dare do that.
Although Trump is getting closer to doing that.
Ren says
Acosta is complety unhinged! He is leaning way to the left.
WPM says
Acosta meant to say President Trump is not allowed to say anything about the mayor of London, because the mayor is a moslem. The MSM goes into the 3 monkey phase with any criticism of any violent or crazy act by Islamic people. MSM Phase 1-When members of the Islamic cult, kill, wound ,attack , threaten, terrorist people they are mental ill, lone wolf(even is there is more then 1 doing it) not Islamic(even though they are full filling the Jihad they owe to allah) Phase 2-People like Mayor Sadiq Khan come out of the wood work trying to steer around the fact Islam is based on fear, hate ,submission to hateful slave master god, who expects Islamic to kill non believers in his name Phase-3 Anyone who is a leader and points out the first 2 phases are just non logical magic believing lies is either stupid, or evil ,or racist.
The Nazis said if you repeat a lie enough the people will believe it
Barguest says
Would this Clinton News Network stooge accuse Churchill of attacking Hitler because he was a Nazi? Rhetorical question, I think we all know the answer.
davej says
Personally I think multiple knife attacks and murders of my fellow citizens, followed by what is essentially a state of martial law is rather alarming.
As is the “leadership” of Mr. Mayor. Actually we need more alarm, not less.
marty says
the only time I watch cnn is during a wait for a delayed flight at the airport. Then there is no choice. can’t we get the airlines to turn off this crap?
don vito says
Indeed, Miss Williams, protect the mayor con (sic), because he is a moslem, defend mayor con (sic) because he is a moslem, agree with mayor con (sic) because he is a mosle,shut up about mayor con (sic) because he is a moslem and you are not,accept the mayors words about terror attacks as normal in major cities because the mayor is a moslem and you are not, expect to be replaced in your culture with moslems because you are not and finally, just Die because you are not a moslem.
Mockingjay says
CNN = ISIS!
Islam the religion of killers says
Well done CNN, the more people that know Sadiq Kann is a muslim the more people will understand his loaded rhetoric.
Sadiq Kann saying “people shouldn’t be alarmed, at the extra police in your neighbourhood ”
The more people hear this garbage, the more they will step out and vote against Kann in the next election…
I say it again, Well done CNN, you are helping to make the world safe by convincing Londoners both you and their mayor are full of dangerous s**it ….
Go CNN
BC says
Khan also said after the previous Westminster attack that terrorism was part of living in a big city and we should “get used to it”.
Cretius says
Such as Acosta are proving they believe in the values of Islamic supremacism over secular western democracy.
The terms racism and ‘Islamophobia’ is the standard Muslim response designed to tap into our distaste for racism but Islam is a believe system, NOT a race. This response is used to shut down ANY legitimate comment or discussion of Islam by non-believers. Non-believers must be concerned about the negative effects of Islam around the world because of its supremacist positioning, its intolerance of ALL other belief systems and the bigotry within its teachings.
Definition of ‘Islamophobia’
It is sad that Western politicians on the political Left continue to refuse the reality of the true Muslim definition of ‘Islamophobia’.
‘Islamophobia’, n. any comment or discussion of the teachings of the Islamic belief system, Islam’s history, Islam’s related cultural practices, the reality of Sharia Law, the history and nature of Islam’s prophet by any and all non-believers (infidels, kaffirs).
Motion M-103, passed by the Canadian Parliament, is nothing less than an abrogation of the right of free speech and personal choice by surrendering to the demands of a supremacist belief system, Islam, that does not allow for the accommodation of non-believers. M-103 is a betrayal of the democratic principles that our fathers and grandfathers fought and died for in two World Wars.
The ignorance and naivety of Western politicians when dealing with Islam is appalling and does not bode well for the long term survival of Western democratic values, cultural practices, or equality before the law.
Pandering for votes at the expense of our democracy is despicable and presents Islam as a ‘religion of peace’ that is not confirmed by any objective review of that belief system. We deserve better but that is beyond the pale of the present Liberal government.
The following proves that Justin Trudeau has no clue as to the realities of Islam and it’s onslaught against Canadian democratic values and institutions.

“Canadian Imam contradicts Trudeau: “Islam will never become a part of liberal secularism”
Posted by: CIJnews Staff March 25, 2017
Another senior Muslim Canadian leader disagrees with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the question whether Islam is compatible with secular values.
In two separate interviews with CBC, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau maintained that Islam is compatible with Western open and secular democracy like Canada:
· (November 24, 2015): “Canadians are quick to point out that ISIS is wrong, that Islam is not incompatible with the Western secular democracy, a free place like Canada.”
(January 31, 2016): “But on the other hand, we need to make sure that we’re working with communities like the Muslim community for example to demonstrate that Islam is Unlike Trudeau, Mazin AbdulAdhim, a prominent Imam of Iraqi descent in London, Ontario who is affiliated with the radical Islamic global movement of Hizb ut-Tahrir, explains that “Islam cannot and will not ever become a part of liberal secularism.”
According to Mazin AbdulAdhim, nowadays there is a war between two ideologies, secularism and Islam, which will end up with the victory of Islam and the establishment of the Islamic State (Caliphate) which will regain control over the Muslim lands world-wide.
The following are excerpts from Mazin AbdulAdhim’s Facebook post on March 24, 2017:
The Jews and Christians are united with the atheists upon the liberal secular way of life today, and they demand that everyone join them in this way of life of theirs. Islam cannot and will not ever become a part of liberal secularism, no matter what ups and downs Muslims go through, and this has caused the Jews and Christians and atheists to take extreme manipulative measures to force Muslims to comply with their demands. This media pressure is simply a tool being used to force all Muslims to condemn the political and military laws of Islam in general by associating any crimes committed by Muslims with Islam itself (regardless of whether Islam obviously forbids it), to pressure them to submit to the liberal secular system that dominates the globe today and abandon the call for political Islam. Anyone demanding the implementation of the political and military laws of Islam will then be associated with those Muslims who committed those violent crimes, and will be treated as criminals by association… No matter what the manipulative secular elite do, they will fail at this manipulative scheme, and Islam will rise once again in the Muslim lands, and the Ummah [Muslims nation] will unite under a single sincere Islamic leadership; and the Muslim lands – including Africa, the Middle East, the subcontinent, parts of Europe, Central Asia, and parts of Eastern Asia – will be fully restored under complete Muslim control, and there is nothing the lying, fear-mongering scum of the Capitalist elite can do about it.
The following are excerpts from Mazin AbdulAdhim’s Facebook post on March 17, 2017:
It is important to understand that the West is undoubtedly heading towards banning political Islam…We need to understand that this is a struggle between two ideologies, not between countries or leaders or religions. It is a (mostly) silent war between secularism and Islam. Muslims win the moment they establish a true Khilafah [Islamic State or Caliphate], as that will be the end of the Sykes-Picot borders and puppet government control they have had over the Muslim lands for almost 100 years. And as Muslims inch closer to breaking free from the political control of the colonial West, we should expect to see them become more vicious against political Islam, and more friendly towards Muslims who accept secularism and defend it (called “moderates”)…
ICNA Canada’s online publication: “Islam is totally incompatible with western democracy”.
The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Canada is an Islamic national-wide organization striving “to build an Exemplary Canadian Muslim Community” by “total submission to Him [Allah] and through the propagation of true and universal message of Islam.”
Dr. Iqbal Massod Al-Nadvi, the Amir (President) of ICNA Canada, also serves as the Chairperson of Canadian Council of Imams (Canada’s top Imam).
On its official website ICNA Canada shares with its members, followers and supporters the book “Riyad us Saliheen” (“The Gardens of the Righteous” رياض الصالحين) compiled by Imam Zakaruya Yahya Bin Sharaf An-Nawawi, a Sunni Shafi’ite jurist and hadith scholar who lived in 13th century.
The Gardens of the Righteous (Arabic: Riyadh as-Salihin), is a compilation of verses from the Qur’an and Hadith by Al-Nawawi. It contains a total of 1905 Hadith divided across 372 chapters, many of which are introduced by verses of the Quran.
The book “Riyad us Saliheen” (“The Gardens of the Righteous”) which appears on ICNA Canada site contains modern commentary to the verses from the Qur’an and Hadith.
The following are excerpts from the book which deal with the question whether Islam in compatible with the values of Western democracy.
“[Hadith]: 673. Abu Bakrah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, “He who insults the rulers Allah will insult him.”
[At-Tirmidhi].
“Commentary: To affront and degrade the ruler means to disobey him and to by-pass his orders. This impairs his power, honour and dignity. Believers have been told to obey and support rulers for the sake of national interest and welfare, understanding that they desist from committing an overt disbelief and maintain congregation Salat and other duties of religion.
The political system of Islam is totally incompatible with western democracy. The concept of government party and the opposition is alien to Islam. All belong to one Ummah with only one goal and pursue the same aims and objects of Islamic guidelines!”
Enola G says
Acosta hates President Trump because the President is Caucasian and a male. Acosta is equal to the French that rounded up Jews in Paris for the Nazis. Acosta better start wearing a burka because they eventually will come for him too.
SK says
Khan wouldn’t have been criticized by Trump if he hadn’t made the statement that there was nothing to worry about in London.
May needs to immediately have Scotland Yard start working their way through the list of jihadists that have been reported to them.
