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

Hamas-linked CAIR applauds Roseanne cancellation, accuses her of “Islamophobia”

May 30, 2018 12:30 pm By Robert Spencer

“Barr’s tweet aimed at Jarrett, an African-American woman who served as a senior adviser for Obama from 2009 to 2017, seemed to refer to conspiracy theories falsely painting her as a closeted Muslim. ”

Not necessarily. Maybe Roseanne was referring to the close ties between the Obama administration and the Muslim Brotherhood. The former U.S. prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy in 2013 listed a great many strange collaborations between the State Department of Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett and Muslim Brotherhood organizations, including:

  • The State Department announced that the Obama administration would be “satisfied” with the election of a Muslim Brotherhood–dominated government in Egypt.
  • Secretary Clinton personally intervened to reverse a Bush-administration ruling that barred Tariq Ramadan, grandson of the Brotherhood’s founder and son of one of its most influential early leaders, from entering the United States.
  • The State Department collaborated with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a bloc of governments heavily influenced by the Brotherhood, in seeking to restrict American free-speech rights in deference to Sharia proscriptions against negative criticism of Islam.
  • The State Department excluded Israel, the world’s leading target of terrorism, from its “Global Counterterrorism Forum,” a group that brings the United States together with several Islamist governments, prominently including its cochair, Turkey— which now finances Hamas and avidly supports the flotillas that seek to break Israel’s blockade of Hamas. At the forum’s kickoff, Secretary Clinton decried various terrorist attacks and groups, but she did not mention Hamas or attacks against Israel—in transparent deference to the Islamist governments, which echo the Brotherhood’s position that Hamas is not a terrorist organization and that attacks against Israel are not terrorism.
  • The State Department and the Obama administration waived congressional restrictions in order to transfer 1.5 billion dollars in aid to Egypt after the Muslim Brotherhood’s victory in the parliamentary elections.
  • The State Department and the Obama administration waived congressional restrictions in order to transfer millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinian territories, notwithstanding that Gaza is ruled by the terrorist organization Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch.
  • The State Department and the administration hosted a contingent from Egypt’s newly elected parliament that included not only Muslim Brotherhood members but a member of the Islamic Group (Gamaa al-Islamiyya), which is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization. The State Department refused to provide Americans with information about the process by which it issued a visa to a member of a designated terrorist organization, about how the members of the Egyptian delegation were selected, or about what security procedures were followed before the delegation was allowed to enter our country.

Conspiracy theory? No.

Anyway, Roseanne’s remarks are not “Islamophobic” (she didn’t actually say anything about Islam), although they certainly can be taken as racist (it’s unclear, however, that Roseanne knew that Jarrett is black), but Hamas-linked CAIR’s Nihad Awad makes a telling remark here: “Ms. Barr has a First Amendment right to express her views, however Islamophobic or racist, but she does not have a constitutional right to a program on a national television network.”

This echoes statements that Hamas-linked CAIR leaders have made many times. They have a formula they trot out every time: X has a First Amendment right to express his/her views, but he/she does not have a constitutional right to speak at a major university/address law enforcement officials/have a program on a national TV network, etc.

What Hamas-linked CAIR is trying to do is destroy the First Amendment under the guise of upholding it, and create an atmosphere in which everyone it accuses of “Islamophobia” and “racism” — which would include not just those who post intemperate tweets, but those who discuss how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism. CAIR is a quintessentially authoritarian organization, determined to silence all foes of jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims and others, by tarring them as “Islamophobic” and “racist” and destroying their reputations. And of course the Leftist media eagerly aids and abets them in this.

“ABC cancels Roseanne after star’s racist tweet,” by Lynette Rice, Entertainment, May 29, 2018:

ABC has canceled Roseanne.

The network’s abrupt decision to yank the reboot comes only hours after star Roseanne Barr made a racist tweet Tuesday morning attacking former President Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. Barr used Jarrett’s initials and wrote, “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.”…

Barr’s tweet aimed at Jarrett, an African-American woman who served as a senior adviser for Obama from 2009 to 2017, seemed to refer to conspiracy theories falsely painting her as a closeted Muslim. The Council on American-Islamic Relations — the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization — applauded ABC’s decision to yank the show.

“We welcome the swift and appropriate action taken by ABC and hope it sends a message that the promotion of hatred and bigotry will not be accepted by our nation’s entertainment industry,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a statement. “Ms. Barr has a First Amendment right to express her views, however Islamophobic or racist, but she does not have a constitutional right to a program on a national television network.”

Though CAIR had previously expressed appreciation for the challenging Islamophobia, “Ms. Barr’s tweet unfortunately does not express the inclusiveness and rejection of bigotry we saw in the episode on Islamophobia,” Awad added.

    cair doesn’t have a Constitutional Right to have a terrorist organization, nor do they have the right to lie to the FBI.

    If Barr had supported the mb or islam or moslims with her tweets, they would embrace her…until such time as they control the entire country and then they would cry out as the Queen of Hearts did so many times.

    • somehistory says

      May 30, 2018 at 12:56 pm

      And, in one sense, Barr does have a ‘right’ to a show. She has the “right” to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
      If she’s pursuing happiness by having a tv show, then she has a right to it if she can obtain it.

      i propose that MB was on the fon very soon after the tweet, and told ABC in no uncertain terms that they were “offended” and then they may have orchestrated the parameters for the various responders

    Now that I understand VJ’s connection to the philanthropic Muslim Brotherhood, there is more clarity to the seemingly ambiguous actions of the previous puppet president.

  5. David Stephenson says

    May 30, 2018 at 12:50 pm

    There is nothing “racist” about comparing VJ to FICTIONAL characters in a series of futuristic movies who are highly intelligent and cunning creatures that destroy civilization on Earth.

    You are fanning the flames of absurdity by giving the “racist” claim any credibility.

    This is all the left does – project, defame and destroy. You are enabling them.

    Hypocrisy!!! Where were the appalled and outraged network executives when black lesbian Wanda called Trump an Orangutan? The Wanda Sykes video link available this morning was quickly deleted and now will not play, however the same video found on YouTube included
    https://youtu.be/XYMy4Cy0_TE
    does. 
       Why is it the very same media outlets that rushed to report and actually showed Rosanne’s implied Ape tweet toward a cryptic “vj” have not even mentioned, or to my knowledge, played Wanda Sykes’s profanity packed direct comparison of Trump to an orangutan? 
        Being homosexual has its own special social protections, but being black and homosexual affords one an unbelievable level of racial/sexual immunity. 
       The element of offense no one is mentioning is Rosanne’s disparaging inclusion of the Muslim Brotherhood in her unforgivable tweet. 
       Now we have the trifecta of protected groups that may NEVER be subjected to honest criticism.    Thou shalt not insult Blacks, Muslims or sexual deviants. Even the 1st Amendment couldn’t save poor white Rosie.

    • JawsV says

      Trump is white so the Orangutan (orange hair) comparison isn’t a big deal. Jarrett is black (light-skinned black) so the comparison of her to apes is a big deal. Comparison of Africans with apes has long been a way to disparage Africans.

        But Jarret does not look black. Roseanne said that she thought she was Saudi. For bona fide blacks, Jarrett is not seen as black at all,

        Blame that very racist “one drop” rule, according to which more than 1/64 black ancestry makes a person a so-called “negro”(black).
        That’s why BLM leader Shaun King is accepted as black by many–even though he is white–as claimed by his parents. Same with Rachel Dolezal who conned the NAACP into believing she sas “black”.

        The same racist “one drop” rule justified NAACP head Walter White his position.

          Jarrett looks black. Very light-skinned black.

          I still have no idea why Roseanne felt compelled to target Valerie Jarrett.

        But there are whites are described as monkeys and they don’t complain. George Bush was always captioned as the “smirking chimp”. Did he complain. Trump is routinely dissed as the “orange ape”–and he doesn’t complain.has

        Soccer star Gareth Bale of Real Madrid is always called “monkey”–he just laughs. Bale is white–and is from Wales, UK.

    Jarrett IS a muslim….an Iranian born muslim…..when was it determined she was BLACK??

    • gravenimage says

      May 30, 2018 at 5:13 pm

      No, Valerie Jarret is *not* a Muslim, nor is she Iranian. She is an African American, born in Iran to American parents. Her parents are both African American. Her father was a physician working in pre-Islamic revolutionary Iran as part of a program to bring Western experts into developing countries–this was 1956.

      I am no fan of Valerie Jarret or her policies under Obama, but this is just silly. The facts are easy to check.

      • souare says

        May 31, 2018 at 6:29 am

        Based on that very racist “one drop” rule any person can concoct an ancestry tree and claim to be black/African American. Jarrett does not look black at all as any neutral observer will note. She looks West Asian or Brazilian white(pardo) than anything else. So how is Roseanne’s tweet racist.

        Pushkin, the famous Russian poet was 1/4 African, yet he has blue-eyed Russian descendants–who are just as white as Putin.
        So are these people African-Russians?

          Valerie Jarret has a well-established background as African American–one ancestor was the first established African American architect in the US.

    So, if Roseanne does not have “a constitutional right to a program on a national television network,” so neither Nihad Awad has such right to use national media network to spread his (CAIR) version of vile Islamophiliac (Islam pandering) propaganda.

    “Planet of the Apes” was racist? In the movie the apes were more advanced than the humans. You have to be racist yourself to interpret a reference like that as being racist. Charlton Heston expresses my feelings about this tempest in a teapot quite well:

    So are Moslems Christophobic

    • Eur says

      Jun 1, 2018 at 7:33 am

      Of course.
      Islam is full of annotations accusing Christianity of deviant worship, of following a lie …. (Jesus is not god, the trinity is blasphemy, Jesus was not crucified or resurrected …) Islam was created with the purpose of eliminating Judaism and Christianity. Christianity has the message of redemption, forgiveness, love …. Islam erases all this in a stroke denying the divinity and religion resurrection of Jesus. There are monotheistic religions infinitely better than Islam, or you can even be monotheistic without following any religion. I urge the Muslims to remain monotheistic but to renounce Islam. It is not easy … because they mix everything with religion but it can be achieved.

  18. Cretius says

    Jun 2, 2018 at 4:46 pm

    Islam is a supremacist belief system, not a race.

    Islamophobia is the phobia Muslims exhibit when non-Muslims, discuss/debate the teachings of Islam, the culture and practices associated with the Islamic belief system, the 1,400 year history of militant Islam and the history of their prophet Mohammed. The fact,recognised by Islamic Imams is thaat Islam is totally incompatible with the values and practices of secular democratic societies.

    Any accommodation made to Islam is interpretted as a weakness to be exploited.
    SAY “NO” TO SHARIA LAW IN ALL FORMS AND STAND AGAINST UNACCEPTABLE iSLAMIC PRACTICES.
