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

Tillerson’s State Department hosts Hamas-linked CAIR, radical Islamic groups

Aug 11, 2017 9:05 pm By Robert Spencer

This is the kind of thing that should have ended with the inception of the “Drain the Swamp” administration. Unfortunately, Trump appointed too many people who did not share his vision, and so that vision is not being implemented, and Obama holdovers are still in charge.

“Tillerson’s State Department hosts CAIR, radical Islamic groups,” by Jordan Schachtel, Conservative Review, August 10, 2017:

The Council on American Islamic Relations, a Hamas-tied Muslim Brotherhood front group, met with officials from the State Department Thursday to discuss the ongoing situation in Jerusalem, the American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) posted online.

The delegation was brought together by an umbrella conglomerate of Islamist outfits known as the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO). They went to the State Dept. to discuss the “ongoing Al-Aqsa Mosque crisis and Israel’s denial of religious freedom in Jerusalem, which is holy to the three Abrahamic faiths,” the AMP website said.

In July, Palestinian terrorists stormed outside the Al-Aqsa mosque compound and assassinated two Israeli police officers, setting off a diplomatic firestorm that would result in Israel securing the facility with metal detectors (which would later be removed due to international pressure).

Represented at the meeting included a CAIR official and members of other suspected Muslim Brotherhood front groups, such as the Islamic Circle of North America and the Islamic Shura Council of North America.

The delegation included Osama Abu Irshaid, a leader at AMP and an open supporter of Hamas. Terrorism expert Steven Emerson reported that he once served as the editor of “Al-Zaitounah” periodical, which Emerson describes as “pro-Hamas propaganda.”…

Another member of the delegation, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, once called for Islamic law to dominate the world, declaring: “Allah’s rules have to be established in all lands, and all our efforts should lead to that direction.”

Oussama Jamal of USCMO, another member of the group, has accused the U.S. government of promoting a “Zionist agenda.” After the 9/11 attacks, he pondered, “How certain are we that it was Arabs who were behind it?”

As Rex Tillerson’s underlings and colleagues welcome the aforementioned radicals, he has thus far successfully blocked efforts to declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization….

    “radical Islamist groups” as opposed to regular Islamist groups?

    We must suspect that there are numerous muslims and converts to islam in the White House.

    Here in UK we had a similar problem with Freemasons, who infiltrated our institutions and ran a parallel system for many years, always keeping their membership secret whenever possible.

    The masons were cute and cuddly compared to this latest secret society.

        Yes, and the Freemasons are not a sinister organization. CAIR is one of the tentacles of the Muslim Brotherhood which is an Islamic supremacist group.

        • Daniel Triplett says

          Aug 12, 2017 at 7:23 am

          Sadly, no. He’s somewhere in between McMaster and Bannon. Gorka isn’t a total idiot, but he needs a 5 hour Robert Spencer briefing to get where he needs to be. I doubt he’s read the trilogy either.

          Plus, he has no strategy for victory.

          This was discussed at length some months back on this website.

    As Robert Spencer noted, “Obama holdovers are still in charge” Fair enough. Undoubtedly there are many individuals (and possibly groups) within the deep state that are ideologically driven and wanting to hold on to their government jobs. But keep in mind that there are many large corporations, along with their lobbying representatives, that can have just as bad of an effect on the health of a nations governance as the former.

    I have my own views on the matter and am currently reading Eric Bolling’s book – “The Swamp: Washington’s Murky Pool of Corruption and Cronyism and How Trump Can Drain It” to try and gain some perspective.

    • Saleem Smith says

      Aug 11, 2017 at 11:02 pm

      Trump is a much better leader that Muhammad the prophet of Islam!

      Muhammad was an evil psychopath. Trump is likely not one of those. Trump seems to be more of an exceptionally ambitious man with an inflated ego trying to do what’s right. But of course I may be totally wrong about that who knows

      The followers of Muhammad tend to follow Muhammad’s example. In fact the supposedly perfect Qur’an instructs Muslims to follow Muhammad’s example. Unfortunately for humanity Moe was a pedophile and a rapist and a psychotic cult leader.

      We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Mohammedanism is a lie.

      033:021: “There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often.”

      Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

      “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

      The statement continues,

      Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

    This is so discouraging as much as Mcmaster not being replaced. I read all this news and wonder is there really anything we can do about this?

    The Donald needs to watch some old episodes of his show “The Apprentice”, fully regain his mojo and resume firing people.

    Meanwhile, if he’s to retain his own job, Tillerson ought refocus on the real denial of religious freedom and of freedom generally in this world — Islam’s — rather than entertain hypocrites, stealth jihadists and assorted swamp things in the State Department or the White House a la Sheikh Barrack Hussein Obama.

    • Daniel Triplett says

      Aug 11, 2017 at 11:13 pm

      McMaster is the main stain. He’s also lobbying to 86 Bannon, the only guy who knows what’s going on.

    It’s all part of the charade.
    The wrong guys are in office because the wrong guys are supposed to be in office so that all the wrong things can happen, while the mouthpiece says all the right things, so that the masses will think that the right things will be done, which they won’t. But by that time, it will be too late.

    At this point, they usually accuse me of being some sort of ‘conspiracy theorist,’ an accusation which I don’t deny. After all, conspiracies exist, so why shouldn’t the detectives who put the pieces together, as in scientists, etc. be able to theorize about them?

    My question to them is; if they think I am so paranoid, then why are all my theories coming true, while all their hopes just leave them scratching their foreheads in dumbfounded bewilderment, baffled amazement, and puzzled perplexity when the opposite happens instead?

    “Why?” I ask; “why, why,… why!?”

    Hmmm. Something to consider… no?

      So, since the only other choice was Hillary Clinton, in the payroll of Saudi Arabia, was your candidate. We only had those two choices, so if you don’t like Trump, you must be a Clintonite.

    My guess Barbara, and perhaps it’s too optimistic, is that Rex is getting up close so as to take the measure of CAIR representatives and other Muslim outfits, so that he can prepare to chart a course forward. It’s all devilishly difficult, especially at a time when Donald has yet to cement his authority. The Russian communications/personal links have cast a web around the President and it may be time to utilise the charm and integrity of the Vice President a little more.
    (just an outsiders perspective for what it’s worth)

    Cheer up all. These old people are not the future. Every non muslim today knows the trouble with islam. Our old ones will die off. Yes they will. Those that will replace them have seen and or experienced the horrors of islam face to face through tv or on the internet. They and their understanding of what islam really means are your future. It won’t be an altogether pretty future, thanks to the ignorant modern age elderly fools you will lose a lot of useful idiots. Pay no mind to that. I myself will be long dead at that time but I will assure you that by reading all of your thoughts and feelings for so long here you will, no doubt, win in the end.

    Who knows what the President is up to. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, perhaps?

          The Left, young and old alike, is clueless about the Islamic threat. That’s more than 50% of Americans.

          Moreover, most on the Right don’t get it either.

          It’s easy to think that since everyone on this website sees the big picture, that means all Westerners see it too. But that’s just not true.

          We all have a lot of work to do, educating the Useful Idiots among us, and build the collective Will for us to win this epic war.

    How much does Bannon understand about the use and purpose of the support organizations of the M.B.to aid in the subversion by deception, of our law and constitution and slowly implement sharia, I would say government, however they are so embedded that he does not know who is who? Bannon was my only hope that Trump really had some information, but watching the Sword dance sway of Tillerson I tried to say to myself,O.K., Tillerson is just being diplomatic, so is Trump…but it was a sickening scene as they both swayed…knowing the symbolism of the sword in Islam and what was occurring in Syria and the ME to men, woman and babies caught in the gripe of the terror of jihad….I said thank God Bannon is there but Tillerson does not know the warfare doctrine and he has power to influence Trump? Worse yet, Mac Master, with his stated conviction isis is not islamic, that 1400 years of Islam’s warfare and deception has not seen the light of day in the world of information ? If he doesn’t formulate soon the jihadist win? Elated and surprised with Trump’s victory, but riding the roller coaster of emotion as one by one he removes some good people….and in my opinion he is being subverted just as much by the democratic left and the dirty tricks well as the sharia bent organizations continue to undermine Trump and will cause the total failure of Trump to protect the U.S. and his time in office. Getting too close to the Islamic organizations that use deception such as “peace and justice” from sharia when we know that it is only for justice for believers of sharia with the goal of our subversion, influence and demise.. in my opinion and they give up.

    I’m not sure Trump has a vision. His actions are so wishy-washy that there is no coherence to them at all. From his Cabinet appointments it is obvious that he knew very little about the people he was appointing. So who was advising him? Trump isn’t draining the swamp, he is filling it.

    Oh pulleeeze. If Trump appointed Tillerson, McMasters, maybe they all share the same vision? Maybe you got conned. Since when does a lying flip flopper have any vision, outside of his own ego? America is finished finished, when even the ‘realists’ can’t acknowledge the facts, and make excuses for the conman in chief.

    Robert – I wish you would disabuse yourself of the fantasy that Trump is, ever was or ever will be any sort of dependable ally or that anything he ever says can be believed or taken seriously. The only thing you can say about him is that he is not Obama and not Hillary, the faintest of praise there can be.

    • Daniel Triplett says

      Aug 12, 2017 at 11:38 am

      Perhaps, but President Trump is in charge, and due to American demographic changes, he may be the last Republican POTUS ever.

      Bottom line: The moment in history has arrived for us to confront Worldwide Islam. President Trump has been chosen to lead this war. He’s our last hope, so if he doesn’t understand the threat, then we are obligated to inform him.

    Kushner is on his way to Israel right now to lean on Netanyahu to accept a suicidal peace deal with Palestine.

    The Ummah is subduing the World like wildfire while the Trump Administration rearranges deck chairs on the Titanic.

    If we don’t alter the West Wing’s Worldview, who else will?

    Let’s get to work.

    Everyone needs to just…take a step back. I believe that steps WILL be taken in regards to this muslim invasion. The administration DOES NEED TO MEET with these people so they can make their OWN decisions and NOT rely on sketchy intel reports by Obama people!

    Trump hasn’t been in office a full year yet and he’s been having to fight NON STOP BATTLES….UP HILL! I don’t believe there has ever been a more INSANE climate in the USA where…people are CASUALLY committing SEDITION! YES we ALL want this resolved and fixed YESTERDAY but we’ve got to remind ourselves to be patient.

    Trump KNOWS Islam is not compatible with our Constitution but IF he tries to do anything about it TOO SOON….well….CAIR and others will LAUNCH SUITS to stop him and all these BOGUS, LAWLESS, CORRUPT LIBERAL JUDGES WILL GO ALONG WITH THEM! You KNOW this is true! So…he needs to take some time and NOT jump the gun. Heck, we SAW what happened when he tried to put a TEMPORARY HOLD on people coming into the USA. You know using the SAME list that Obama used!

    The left is INSANE! WE NEED TO DO OUR PART TO HELP HIM! Register Republican, GET OUT AND VOTE IN FULL FORCE, just like we did in November! Establishment RINOS MUST BE REMOVED! We MUST REMOVE DEMOCRATS! We’ve GOT to get in NEW people who are PRO Trump, PRO AMERICA and create a SUPER MAJORITY that any remaining FEW Democrats CAN’T OBSTRUCT! Our country didn’t get in this mess over night and it WON’T be fixed over night! So…try to be patient and HAVE FAITH that God is still with us but he expects US TO DO THE HARD WORK!

    Aug 12, 2017 at 11:59 am

    Most people DO NOT WANT to understand Islam and WANT TO BELIEVE it is another religion like Christianity.

    When most of our Americans’ view of Islam is like that. We have a tremendous, maybe insurmountable, problem

  25. TassieR says

    Aug 12, 2017 at 8:18 pm

    Nothing new about it: since the FDR times State Department always tried to be as anti-American, as it only could. But Trump, thanks God, seems to have nothing common with FDR, so it would be most interesting to know the real motives behind his support of all these tillersons, mcmasters et al – pompous silliness? Pressure of some blackmailers? Nonchalant insensitivity (or indifference) to any arguments except purely emotional ones? Anyway, I think it’s a high time for a thorough analysis of Trump’s own decisions, not of his strangely FDR-ish “good men”.
