If any of these protesters had gone to St. Cloud’s Crossroads Center mall on September 17, 2016, they might have run into Dahir Adan, who stabbed 10 mall shoppers with kitchen knives after asking some if they were Muslim. He was screaming “Allahu akbar” during this stabbing spree.
In response to this jihad attack, the righteous Left mounted no protests against Dahir Adan’s mosque.Nor did they make any request that Muslims in the St. Cloud area stop preaching jihad violence. Instead, they protested against the appearance of an Iranian ex-Muslim who was warning against the jihad threat that Dahir Adan embodied. And they protested by holding a large sign reading “Islamophobia is White Supremacy.” So apparently jihad terror is brown and woke. But what about white jihadis, such as John Walker Lindh and Adam Gadahn and a host of others? Is opposing them white supremacy as well? Leftism is getting so complicated these days.
“Controversial Speaker Sparks Large Protest Outside Granite City Baptist Church,” by Richard Leguil, WJON, September 14, 2017:
ST. CLOUD — A former Iranian-Muslim turned Christian Pastor stopped to speak in St. Cloud Thursday night and drew both support- and protest – for his views on Islam.
Pastor and head of the “Truth in Love Project Ministries“, Shahram Hadian travels around the United States talking about Islam, its relationship to Christianity and his personal experiences inside and outside the religion, and from his time in Iran.
Thursday night he stopped by the Granite City Baptist Church to discuss the “Trojan Horse of Interfaith Dialogue”.
His family fled Iran in 1978, just before the Shah was overthrown and the Islamic Republic of Iran was established. His father had served in the Iranian military until 1976, and initially disowned Shahram after his conversion to Christianity.
He calls his time in Iran a “wonderful experience” and says his family still in Iran have shared with him the difference between the Shah and the Islamic Republic, and do not paint a good picture.
“Once we left, and witnessed what’s happened since 1979 is very sad. I still have a lot of family in Iran and we get updates all the time on how oppressive it’s been.”
Hadian says, based off of his own experiences within both faiths, Christianity and Islam do not share common ground.
“It was shown to me, that Islam – I was a Muslim – and Christianity do not have common ground, in fact they’re opposites. Therefore I had to make a choice, and I chose to leave Islam and become a Christian.”
The groups #UniteCloud and Standing up for Racial Justice (SURJ) Minnesota organized the protest outside the church, bringing over 60 people.
Genjo Conway is a Buddhist Priest and an organizer for the protest. He’s spent time in many Muslim nations and says, the protesters have a simple message, hate is not welcome.
“Hate speech and hate groups will not be welcomed into St. Cloud, this is a white supremacist organization that is bringing this speaker here, and that it’s important for us to stand up to that.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center does list Hadian’s group as a recognized anti-Muslim hate group based out of Chattaroy, Washington. Conway says, as much as Hadian talks about Muslim experiences and Islamic faith, he’s spreading a much different message.
“It’s not really about Islam – he wants to make it about Islam – what it’s about is white people trying to keep this community for white people and only white people. So it’s not really about Muslims, it’s about white people being racist and about white people trying to keep people out.”
The SPLC has been under fire recently for labeling several anti-extremist, and immigration groups as anti-Muslim hate groups. They currently estimate that 917 hate groups are currently active in America.
When it comes to freedom of speech, Conway says the views presented at Hadian’s talks do not represent that ideal.
“I think that’s a flimsy understanding of what free speech is, what’s protected by it and what it’s for. It’s not to incite violence or hatred, it’s to keep open dialogue, this is not about dialogue.”
The Supreme Court has ruled there are no “hate speech” exceptions to the 1st Amendment to the Constitution….

No, Islam is Islamic Supremacy. Islamophobia is the equivalent of hating racists, sexists, and homophobes. Most Muslims are bigots.

SHARIA LAW IS KAFIR-O-PHOBIC. Sharia law is deadly to critics.
Sharia permits the vigilante MURDER of anyone who verbally opposes Islam, since they are at war with Islam:
“There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593
Sharia law forbids ‘mentioning something impermissible about Islam’.
Another Sharia manual states:
“We have already discussed killing the person who, with intent, curses the Prophet, belittles him or slights him in any way. The judgement in this case is clear.” (i.e. the sentence is execution)- from Sharia law manual, “Qadhi Iyaadh in ash-Shifa”, Volume No.2, Page No. 27
-as-Suyuti writes: “(If they break their oaths…) This ayah (K. 9:11-12) is used as a proof by those who say that if a dhimmi attacks Islam (VERBALLY) or the Qur’an or MENTIONS the Prophet in a bad manner, HE IS KILLED, whether he has broken a treaty or not. Those who say that his repentance is accepted use as a proof, ‘hopefully they will stop.’”

Yes–if you are against the rape of little girls, slavery, throwing gay people off rooftops, keeping Infidels as sex slaves, and the mass slaughter of unbelievers, then you are “White supremacist”. What insanity.
John A. Marre says
So these deluded, demented fools think that normal people fear Islam because they believe Islam is inferior? I’ll buy that. Any ideology that decrees that non-members must convert or be killed is inferior. Any belief system that orders members to hate and kill Jews is inferior. Any group that forces women into subjugation is inferior.
Westman says
It’s not only inferior, it’s diabolical.
It’s time to call Sharia law and violent jihad what it actually is – Islamofascism. The Mullahs of Iran are Islamofascists who dictate to the population and would gladly send children and the elderly to clear minefields with their bodies – and did.
Any Muslim who supports forcing Shariah on another or supports violent jihad to spread Islam is an Islamofascist. Naive liberals who get in bed with them will rise up with disfiguring mental scars or worse.
Voytek Gagalka says
Do they realize what kind of nonsense they are saying? If “Islamophobia is white supremacy” then the first “Islamophobe” must have had been… Mohammed, who was racially WHITE, as their (Mohammedan) traditions clearly state. So how it is with them, leftist uneducated MORONS?
Paul says
What about the many black, Asian and Arabic ex-muslims out there who
denounce islam? Are they “white supremacists” too? The idiots above
would probably argue that they are somehow, and are in need of “reeducation”
at the hands of pampered Western liberal morons. If I was a persecuted Coptic
Christian, or a Christian from Pakistan, for example, my blood would be boiling
even more than it is right now at the sight of their ridiculous banner. I’m quite
sure of that.
Paul says
These people deserve everything they have coming to them. Even
when they are warned by an ex-muslim from the Middle East,
their own sense of latent “supremacy” (ever the projectionists
they are, hence their silly banner) and genuine racism prevents them
from taking heed of some extremely vital information imparted to them
in good spirit. These people are unbelievably arrogant and callous.
There’s no saving them.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Its a shame the church concerned doesnt seem to make video/audio recordings on their services etc, as it would be useful to hear what was said. According to Hadians site the subject was to be on the dangers of certain kinds of interfaith dialogue, which has been of some recent debate in the Christian media. All ive found is a radio interview with Mr Hadian made a few days before the protest at the church:

Mark says
Is knowing the truth about Islam also “islamophobia”?
What does Islam teach its followers? (muslims)
Islam teaches some really nasty, nasty stuff
Here’s a way for readers to see how “peaceful” Islam is from the comfort of their own home and learn it’s sinister truth
Quran.com
The way to use that website Quran.com is to search for the verse you want, here’s a couple examples of verses I recommend, just copy each set of verse numbers below into the “search” bar at Quran.com
8:39 “fight til all religion is for allah” IE. until all people are Muslim
9:5 “when sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists” Islam considers Christianity polytheists
9:29
4:89 “if they turn away (from Islam) kill them”
2:191 “and kill them wherever you overtake them, such is recompense of disbelievers (non-Muslims)”
8:67 “it is not for a prophet to have captives of war (slaves) until he inflicts a slaughter upon the land”
47:4 “when you meet disbeliever (non-Muslim) strike neck” see 8:39 above Islam is at war with all
5:51. “take no Jew or Christian as an ally”
9:30
3:151
8:12 “cast TERROR into hearts of disbelievers, so strike their necks & strike every fingertip”
8:60 “prepare whatever steeds of war you are able that you may TERRIFY enemies of allah” non-
Muslims
9:111
13:41
7:175
5:33
4:25
24:2
37:88
38:31
47:35 “do not seek peace while you are superior”
Etc
Santa Voorhees says
To all these people, I say, just wait until Islam takes control, then you will see who the supremacists really are.
“It’s not really about Islam – he wants to make it about Islam – what it’s about is white people trying to keep this community for white people and only white people. So it’s not really about Muslims, it’s about white people being racist and about white people trying to keep people out.”
This logic can be well applied to the Saudis. Yet we don’t hear leftists whining about them wanting to keep their society homogeneous. Oh wait… yeah, “logic”…. go figure!
Sadly we live in a time where leftists, who clearly never opened the Quran, and probably never heard about Hadiths and Sira, are lecturing muslims, ex-muslims and apostates about Islam pretending to know better, despite the first-hand experiences and warnings from all of the latter three.
The only verse that leftist rely to is in Sura 5 verse 32, the one that states that if you kill a man, it is like killing the whole humanity (you know, it fits their narrative… certainly verses 3:151, 8:65, 9:5, 9:29, 9:123, 47:4, 48:29 and many others won’t). But I bet if we ask them which Sura and verse states it, they probably won’t know the answer…. and why is that? Well… that would probably be because they only heard it many times on the MSM after the latest terror attack, without looking further than that.
Barguest says
And let’s not forget, when leftists quote Q 5:32 they usually omit the opening part (assuming they’re even aware of it in the first place) that makes it clear this verse is a command on the *Jews*, not on muslims. (I believe the sentiment of 5:32 is, in fact, plagiarised from the Torah). Nothing like a little kitman to grease the wheels of mohamedanism.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Barguest. Qur’an 5:32 is aimed at Jews, not at Muslims at all. Murder is fine for Muslims.
Peacemaker says
The feeling of hate is pretty subjective. Someone can hate everybody or anything, it is your choice. But leftiests and Muslims cannot take it, because they refuse to let us choose our way that is different than theirs.
Sun says
They really don’t know what they are talking about.
I lived and worked seven years in Muslim nations. Nobody can want that for our country – Islam is mostly force and oppression.
Barguest says
Ah yes, ‘white supremacy’ this season’s spin on ‘racism’, intended to be the kryptonite that shuts down any debate by inducing a reflexive guilt in the accused. Well, it’s Uncle Barguest’s belief that such calumnies are losing their power (they certainly have with me). So, the next time some leftist / SJW accuses you of ‘white supremacy’, ‘racism’ or – Heaven forfend – ‘islamophobia’, don’t attempt to argue with them, forget about pointing out that no part of the human genome determines someone’s *belief system* (leftists / SJWs are impervious to logic, facts and reason). No, just look ’em straight in the eye, and respond in a mild voice: “You say that like it’s a bad thing”. The resulting apoplexy should be wondrous to behold, and if you’re lucky you may even get an exploding head.
gravenimage says
Being a racist or a white supremacist *is* a bad thing–that’s why these creeps falsely accuse people of it. With all respect, I don’t believe that embracing their calumny of good people who oppose Islamic savagery is the way to deal with this.
Barguest says
GI, I know these are bad things, I’m not suggesting otherwise. But those who hurl these accusations around like confetti expect a reflexive cringing from their targets. They expect a certain response, and they’re impervious to any reasoned argument (else they wouldn’t be equating criticism of a belief system with racism). All I’m advocating is a little trolling of our opponents.
Of course there will be some (and in my experience the numbers aren’t great due to the social conditioning of the MSM / academia) with whom we *can* debate the issue rationally, and those cases we should do so. I guess as I’m saying is we should choose horses for courses. If we can’t beat ’em logically we may as well have some fun watching them get their knickers in a knot.
Personal anecdote: some years ago I lost a good friend due to a discussion of islam. I was pointing out that islam sacrilises the sexual abuse of children (this was before Rotherham, Rochdale et al became widely known). My friend responded with a load of whataboutery – Catholic priests etc – and when he was losing the argument he accused me of being a racist for holding the position I did. I pointed out that islam was not a race and anyone who thought otherwise was not thinking clearly (IIRC I used the word ‘stupid’). We never spoke after that. I was never going to with that argument with reason, and in mind friend’s mind I will always be a ‘racist’. So if criticising islam makes me such then I’ll wear that label happily. After all, it’s been so misused in recent years that it no longer means what it once did.
Anyway, have to go to work.
Best regards
Barguest

But if you complain about the cancer of this evil islam and its terror and violence and hateful words,
then they criticize you. But that’s not going to stop me, I will speak against, complain, and criticize islam all the way to my grave, despite any persecution from anyone.

A REMINDER: – Theodore Roosevelt, 26th U.S. President:
“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American…There can be NO divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile…We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
