Fish, a “journalist” who formerly worked for Newsweek and is on sabbatical now from Foreign Policy, is doubling and tripling and quadrupling down on his Twitter feed, noting that more people have been killed in other contexts, such as 500 people in gun violence in Chicago. That is true. But what he probably doesn’t realize, because the fog of his politically correct world view prevents him from doing so, is that the New York City jihad massacre was just one battle in a very long and global war.
Leftists such as Fish tend to think of jihad terror attacks as discrete incidents, unconnected to one another — separate eruptions of misunderstanding of the Religion of Peace. 32,000 jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11? Jihad terror groups with a presence on every inhabited continent vowing to make war against and ultimately destroy all non-Muslim governments? An unbroken 1,400-year record of warfare by Muslims against non-Muslims? Pshaw! It’s all about American imperialism! It’s all about Israel! Impeach Drumpf!
LeftisruiningCanada says
Yeah sure, just another small attack by another small muslim man, against small soft disposable humans.
Mr Fish, a journalist with a small last name, is only impressed by numbers and body count (“Oh the daring, Ah, the vision!”) perhaps, having become numbed to anything less than 3 digit scores by the last two decades of islamic peace actions around the world?
mortimer says
Mr. Fish reminds one that Marxists are devoid of a conscience when it comes to human life.
johan elzinga says
Right. So what will this man say to the husband and children of the Belgian mother who died in the attack, while celebrating a tourist visit to New Jersey? Please don’ t overreact, you are really whining too much, be a big man about it and stop sobbing, you can easily find a new mother/woman? You are really a drama queen, stuff like this happens every day, you are really overdramatizing, get used to it, man up? I really dare him to say this to the family of the deceased victims, or to this other woman who lost a leg and will be without her leg for the rest of her life? I know at least one Belgian village where this piece of shit reporter should never go!
LeftisruiningCanada says
Yes to both.
It’s true, there is a real sense of bizarre machismo about denying the seriousness of attacks like this when they don’t effect you directly. It’s real ‘hardened journalist” “i’ve seen it all” newspaper-warrior type stuff isnt it!
Gordon Miller says
It’s as if some supernatural toxic spell has gotten inside the brains of our leftist friends and caused them to be blind to the reality of jihad.

Yes, exactly! Individuals are nothing to them. The only thing that matters is ideology.
Westman says
Right up there with London Mayor Khan. A little murder and mayhem to the tune of allah snackbar is normal; get used to it – nothing to see here.
mortimer says
One kafir has been killed every three minutes since Mohammed began his bigoted attacks. That’s 270 million non-Muslim victims of ISLAMIC BIGOTRY in the last 1400 years.
One non-Muslim killed by ISLAMIC BIGOTS every three minutes is the very definition of a Death Cult.
Brian Hoff says
Your fact are wrong. The Black Death that hit China Indian middle east africa and europe in the 14 th century kill more people and destory or change society over 250 million in 20 or 30 year out of than estimates global population of 450 million people.
Jack Diamond says
Nice. comparing Islam to the Black Death. The only apt comparison. Kudos al-Hoff.
Brian Hoff says
I than not compareing Islam to the black death. In fact less less moslim die from it compare to christian. The moslim follow the prophet adive to die or recover from the illness instead of running away which spead it futher to other places. This strain of the black death is the same one which cause the Atem plague of 5th century bc and easterm rome empire 6th century ad and the 14th century ad it muturat since then our antibiotic might work at all. The black death hit repeated in the past than there where herbal treatment that work but not on this strain. Alot of illness that antibiotics work on are immune to the antibiotics. Afew moslim cities or area got hit but it not spead futher into the moslim homeland. The black death is than equal killer it every person it can.The WHO hope they can stop this from speading.
gravenimage says
“Brian Hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–is just *confirming* that Islam is even worse than the *Black Death*–the very watchword of horror for mass death.
Really, he must be *so proud*…
Shmoovie says
Thank you for clearing that up, Jack D and gravenimage.
Have read Brian’s reply 3x now and couldn’t quite make sense of it.
Might be the cold med.
Brian Hoff says
Not realy illness like the black kill more people than all the wars and gegenocis put together. It this spead to the whole world 3.5 to billion people might die in bad way and very quickly. Handled all the dead bobies to bury then will be than big problem. In the death camp of nazie germany killing the people wasnot the big problem but getting rid of the bodies was than big problem.
Brian Hoff says
We are so depence on antibiotics to fight illness that many of the illness causeing micro are immune to the antibiotics many of the STD are immune to all know antibiotics. In the case of the black death the antibiotics treatment must start within 48 hour of showing the sign of the illness or they willnot work. It this mutrate strain of the black death might be immune to all antibiotics treatment which mean half of world population will die.
gravenimage says
Not the cold meds, Shmoovie–“Brian Hoff” (really, “DefenderofIslam”) is always pretty impenetrable, given his routine mangling of the language.
Hope you feel better soon–I’m warding off a case of the flu right now myself.
gravenimage says
I see that old “DefenderofIslam” is commiserating with the Nazis on the difficulty of getting rid of all those Jewish corpses….
Good God.
Carolyne says
The “Black Death” was not the result of people “Running away.” It was caused by fleas on infected Chinese rats which came into Europe on ships. The fleas carried the black death bacteria and bit the native populations and infected them. A flea cannot be compared to a Muslim. Fleas are much better.
Brian Hoff says
Europe didnot have a major rat problem owls eat rodents but they cannot disgist the bone so they throw up the bone.Than nobleman collect the remain they end up in musuin and sciencist look at the remaine they found mices bone but no rat bones. This black death was 70% air borne which need no rat or rat fea. No town or city record report large number of rat dieing just before or during than out break of the black death.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Perhaps, the lack of rat remains could be attributed to the fact that everyone became real serious about burning rats or whatever, once it was learned they carried plague?
If it’s not rats, why are there hundreds of scientists out in plague effected areas, like Madagascar for example, deliberately seeking out rats for testing, to help fight the spread of the disease?

I’d offer that it’s either a symbol of what his creed of violent hatred would attempt to make of the world, or he had just been cleaning his nuts.

I would think it is the latter.
Guest says
There is no such thing as a ‘small’ terrorist attack
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Good point. The beheading of the middle aged woman working at the Moore OK food processing plant for some reason still resonates with me. Poor woman. Thank God the guy running the plant had a gun to stop the murdering.
History Chaser says
I agree!!! I was shocked beyond belief that a lady at work peacefully doing her job could be slaughtered like that. And it seemed as if people didn’t pay that much attention.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Yeah more people are killed by lightning strikes than by Moslem activists. But the storm goes away and it’s over. Moslems never go away, in fact they keep coming in for the welfare, and the terror they sow builds incrementally.
I don’t see how anybody who wrote for Newsweek or Foreign Policy can call himself a journalist.
I shall terrorize the Infidels!
– Allah
I have been made victorious by terror.
– Allah’s Apostle the Holy Prophet Mohammed
Maybe Isaac should crack a book and inform himself. Idiot. But egregious cuz he’s an obtrusive idiot.
mgoldberg says
And the lightening doesn’t dance in happiness over it’s death. A lion attacks, predatorily exists, eats and digests. It doesn’t dance over the slaughter.
Muslims relish the slaughter and have a phrase, that the police idiot Miller
as do the others ignore, ‘allahu akbar’- allah is greater.
Cutting off heads, shouting with delight, and dreaming of busty virgins swarming over the dead Jihadist is a most vulgar heavenly delusion. Another small delusion is calling people ‘reacting’ to a homicidal terrorist attack a trumpian overreaction.
This is a man truly deserving of being ridden out on a horse, tarred and feathered but good and sweeping streets for a living. and no disrespect to street sweepers.
gravenimage says
Another point–lighting strikes and traffic accidents are a greater threat *until they aren’t*.
There was a time when falling off ladders was more of a threat to European Jews than the Nazis–until this was no longer true, and the Holocaust began in earnest
Right now, Jihad terror attacks *are mushrooming*. Less than twenty years ago, the chances of dying in a Jihad terror attack in the United States were essentially nil. God knows this is no longer true.

“Fish, a “journalist” who formerly worked for Newsweek and is on sabbatical now from Foreign Policy, is doubling and tripling and quadrupling down on his Twitter feed, noting that more people have been killed in other contexts, such as 500 people in gun violence in Chicago”
This is yet another good reason to reject muslim migrants. If you already have problems of violence on your own, you don’t need muslims to make it worse.
Shmoovie says
Agreed.
Surprising to see a leftist mention the murder rate in Chicago at all; finally they have a reason to bring it up. It’s usually a verboten subject for them.
So if 500 had been the death toll in Manhattan instead of that “small” number, there would be cause for the angry response he calls overreacting, I guess?!… When does a number of mangled dead on a city street become ‘medium’ or ‘large’ to people like Fish?
Santa Voorhees says
If that attack claimed 500 lives, it would be the same story all over again. He would still say that it’s an overreaction and then bring up that more people die because of .
Santa Voorhees says
Sorry, I meant, because of *insert any cause of death here*
gravenimage says
Here’s a sneering Tweet from Fish’s Twitter feed:
“New Yorkers were not reacting to terror by going out for Halloweeen. New Yorkers were ignoring it because it’s not that important.”
He also Tweeted:
“Trump is using this attack to fight for tougher immigration guidelines. Your fear — or your concern for NYers safety — facilitates that.”
Note that he does not say why concern for NYers safety is a *bad thing*.
He was cheering the appalling Jeremy Corbyn for refusing to meet with Netanyahu, and demanded he do the same with Chinese officials over “treatment of the Uighurs”–in both cases, Fish is demanding that those who defend their people being murdered by Jihadists be internationally punished.
Oh, by the way, he also sneers at concerns over hideous human rights violation in North Korea. But he is unhinged over anything President Trump does, and is rejoicing over how he imagines China will humiliate the US when the president visits there.
More ugly stuff here:

Santa Voorhees says
I am stunned how leftists always point out how muslims are treated in China, or Myanmar, yet they say nothing on how muslims treat other minorities in their countries, which by the way it is exactly why China and Myanmar are doing to muslims what they’re doing….
LeftisruiningCanada says
“Trump is using this attack to fight for tougher immigration guidelines. Your fear — or your concern for NYers safety — facilitates that.””
Ah ha, a leftys base assumption contradicted, therefore: Attack Trump!
Its almost like this guy is trying to tie his own noose or something…how can “concern for NYers safety” be a bad thing?
mike9a says
will it be a small terrorist attack when he and his family are attacked?
so many amoebas crawling earth surface.
Walter Sieruk says
What a callous and heartless man Mr. Fish must be to say such ignorant and outrageous statement.
Shame on him.
LeftisruiningCanada says
This fellow could well be on his way to an honorary job at the CBC here in Canada – His first reaction was to use an islamic attack with fatalities as an excuse to criticize POTUS Trump!
Carolyne says
With these no-brain leftists, everything is President Trump’s fault. They need to look in the mirror for the source of Islamization of the West. Vampires, however can’t be seen in mirrors, so he might just see a blank mirror.
It is the duty of an American President to protect the American people from all enemies, “Foreign and domestic.” It is an oath he takes. He is doing his best against great odds from the left who are facilitating the invasion of this foreign political ideology which is cruel and barbarian. Contrary from what they seem to think, they will not be immune from it.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Imagine that, a head of state who doesn’t want his country invaded. This is something revolutionary at the moment, no wonder the wests leftists are in a froth!

Mockingjay says
“A small terrorist attack”
– Ah, as if this is the only ISLAMIC TERROR ATTACK the West has had in years, right?
– Maybe Mr. Fish is afflicted with some early form of Alzheimer’s. He just can’t remember what happened in the last two years.
But I think it’s probably worse than that. He has got the leftist brain disease.
He’s forever incapable of argueing rationally, – while at the same time believing his abilities in this field surpass everyone elses.
What I do know for sure is he’s too far gone to ever be cured.

FP “journalist” Isaac Stone Fish: “The most Trumpian thing most people do is overreact to a small terrorist attack”
………………………
The victims have not even been buried, and this creep is sneering at concern over their murder. *Ugh*.
And yes–this was not a “small” attack–for one thing, it is the worst Jihad terror attack in New York City since 9/11–since the plots to bomb Times Square and other places were thankfully foiled.
And this is part of the great mass of Jihad terror attacks against the West and the rest of the world–all 31,976 of them, just since 9/11, resulting in *hundreds of thousands* of deaths. Moreover, almost all of these Jihad terror attacks were intended to kill even more people.
And all of this is part of a bigger push to Islamize the whole world.
The idea that any of this is an “overreaction” is just grotesque.
Voytek Gagalka says
Perhaps one must be more that a “stone” to grasp that but there no such thing as “overreaction” to even the “smallest terrorist attack” particularly if your very life can be at stake. Because if you are dead because ignoring its size, it is all over for you! So if Isaac Stone Fish wish to ignore it in order not to “overreact” and put his own life in danger, he has all right to do it: It is called suicide. But he has absolutely no right to put other people’s life in danger because of his own choice and personal myopia.
Carolyne says
Yes, when one is murdered by a Muslim, that is 100% dead for you.
Ren says
Let Isaac Stone Fish mowed down by a jihadi then see if he is Trumpian or not. What a lunatic!
utis says
How does he feel about the Charlottesville car victim? I mean, it’s just one lousy unarmed protester. Hitler killed a lot more. Where does he draw the line? I don’t really want to know; I’m creeped out already.
He should either stay in China and write puff pieces about the Party. At the least, he shouldn’t get his American job back until he’s writes an individual apology to the surviving victims of the massacre and to the families of the murdered.
C T says
What does he think of the Chinese government’s approach to jihadism? Which aspects of the Chinese approach would he like to see here? Which ones are compatible with our Constitution?
Roger says
I See I understand now…What you are saying is that a small terrorist attack is of no significant importance…maybe you might also like to add that because it seems to be of so little importance that maybe the Judge should let the perpetrators off with a warning and a slap on the wrist. Your demonstration of intelligent reasoning is remarkable…IDIOT
Peter says
It is irrelevant how many people die from other things such as smoking, drinking, driving, flying, eating, or whatever. These things may result in people getting killed, but they DO NOT THREATEN OUR WAY OF LIFE, OUR FREEDOMS, OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR CIVILIZATION, OUR COMMONWEAL.
Islam is a predatory totalitarian global supremacist ideology that threatens the ways of life and well being of 80% of humanity (the non-Muslim majority, not just the West, though one could argue Islam is unhealthy for Muslims, too). Islam is, as oft stated, a declaration of war on humanity and all “other systems of belief” (per Qur’an 9:33).
Acts of Jihad, such as the one in New York, or the recent ones in Barcelona, Berlin, etc. are undertaken to further Islam, slaughter and intimidated non-Muslims, and weaken their resistance to the pretentions and predations of Islam and its adherents.
Clearly, the FP “journalist,” like the Leftists idiots of the Obama administration who made similar illogical arguments, doesn’t have a clue, and wants the rest of us not to have one either. Screw him.
Lydia says
Oh, yes! Let us not ‘overreact’! It is only a few thousand here, and a few hundred there that get murdered by islamic terrorists all the time! No need to get overly alarmed! After all, it’s just a ‘small’ terrorist attack, only a ‘minor’ incident! To even gasp over it would be ‘Trumpian’! And obviously, we wouldn’t want to be labeled as ‘Trumpian,’ would we??? Better go along as in the UK; “keep calm and carry on”! And as we can see, that has worked out soooo much better for them!
What a fool!
Sven Oljaski says
What an asshole. I apologize for swearing, but seriously, there are families that don’t get to embrace their loved ones tonight because of the west’s inane lack of understanding of Islam. Look at the suras! I mean look at them. Look at 8:67, 9:5. Look at the Hadith! Look at how they tell their followers that Muslims have 1 intestine and unbelievers have 7. They try to skew that saying that is a metaphor for consuming in this world, but they are full of shit. This asshole, and I use that term lightly, should take point man in getting the next insignificant small attack upon he and his loved ones. He’s a damn hypocrite to humanity.
Santa Voorhees says
Not to mention that, if the attacker was white, he, like all his company, would have called for all kind of measures to end white supremacism/nazism/whatever.
He’s an hypocrite indeed…
