Ken Isaacs “faced serious charges of anti-Muslim bigotry.”
Among them: “Isaacs published numerous tweets describing Islam as an inherently violent religion, including one after the 2016 attack in the French city of Nice that said ‘Islam is not peaceful’. He has also retweeted xenophobic material, such as a post last year from Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch, which argued ‘peaceful Muslims’ and ‘Jihadis’ were indistinguishable.”
This is endlessly repeated as if I had said some heinous thing. Once again I ask those who repeat it: how exactly do they distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslims? In January 2016, Abdul Shaheed (formerly Edward Archer) shot Philadelphia police officer Jesse Hartnett multiple times at close range. He was a member of Philadelphia’s Masjid Mujahideen. Ibrahim Simpson and Nadir Soofi, who attacked our Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas in May 2015, were members in good standing of the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix. The Tsarnaev brothers, who bombed the Boston Marathon in 2013, were members of the Islamic Society of Boston, as were many other jihadists.
If it is so easy to distinguish peaceful Muslims from jihadis, why weren’t Shaheed, Simpson, Soofi, and the Tsarnaevs expelled from these mosques?
Also, it is not “xenophobic” to oppose mass migration from jihadi hotspots, and not “anti-Muslim” to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women and others — unless opposing the Nazis made one “anti-German.”

“Portugal’s Vitorino beats Trump pick to lead UN migration agency,” by Ben Simon, Agence-France Presse, June 29, 2018:
Decades of American leadership at the United Nations migration agency was broken on Friday as voters rejected President Donald Trump’s nominee for director general, electing Portuguese politician Antonio Vitorino instead.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) had been led by an American throughout the agency’s 67-year history with one exception from 1961 to 1969.
But Trump’s pick Ken Isaacs, an executive with the Christian charity Samaritan’s Purse who faced serious charges of anti-Muslim bigotry, proved to be an untenable choice.
Vitorino, 61, won by acclamation after Isaacs was knocked out of the race and the third candidate, current IOM deputy chief Laura Thompson, stood aside after seeing no path to victory….
But the result is a clear repudiation of Trump, whose hardline stance and inflammatory rhetoric towards migrants undermined Washington’s traditional right to choose the world’s top migration official.
Trump’s “America First” administration has also levelled ferocious attacks against multilateral bodies and core IOM functions like refugee resettlement.
Analysts had warned that voters might stick with Isaacs to avoid punishing US fundings cuts, but Trump’s posture on migration and Isaacs’s personal history appeared to sway the room.
Isaacs published numerous tweets describing Islam as an inherently violent religion, including one after the 2016 attack in the French city of Nice that said “Islam is not peaceful”.
He has also retweeted xenophobic material, such as a post last year from Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch, which argued “peaceful Muslims” and “Jihadis” were indistinguishable.
Isaacs made his Twitter account private amid the uproar that followed his nomination in February, but he did not deny responsibility for any of his controversial comments.
The US nominee also refused to definitively recognise the causal link between human activity and climate change….
The US candidate to head the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Ken Isaacs has come under fire for publishing numberous tweets saying Islam is inherently a violent religion[.]

I agree ! But at the very LEAST eliminate ALL United States funding for the IOM and refugee funding ! That is HELPING the Islamic invasion of the US . If Christians are not allowed to migrate then Muslims won’t be allowed. This is outlined in the book Stealth Invasion , by Leo Hohmann that the IOM is HELPING ISLAM take over the West including the USA.

Mosques are the Trojan horses we have allowed to be constructed. They are the Trojan horses for Islamic indoctrination and act as weapons cache storage sites. Trump will close them all down.
Terry Gain says
I used to suggest that the U. S. should withdraw from the UN but that was before Nikki Haley was sent there by Trump to tell these Muslim nations and the weak Islamophiles who support them the truth. As long as the United States is there telling the truth about Muslim and communist countries I think it should stay.

Evil, corrupt, treasonous to all civilized societies. . . how much more can be said truthfully? “The First Step to dealing with any problem is to admit that a problem exists.” Until that admission nothing will be done to solve it. Lazy socialist sheep are lining up for the shearing.
Leslie says
I just returned from a 3 week trip to Portugal. I visited all over the country. I have seen comments that suggest Portugal is a hotspot for child trafficking. Let me tell you what I noticed as I traveled throughout Portugal. There is very little trafficking driving the highways and back country roads. We were stopped on a rural country road by police who asked us for our papers. In the middle of no where. I noticed there were no immigrants everywhere like you see in other Western countries. I noticed graffiti of the one eye symbol on abandoned buildings in the big city and the country side. I definitely believe Portugal is protected by The Cabal. By the way, I am also an intuitive empathetic and am very sensitive to a lot of “the hidden” spiritual happenings that surround us.
mortimer says
Ken Isaacs needs to study the doctrine of jihad:
JIHAD HAS FOUR BRANCHES – 1) sword 2) tongue 3) pen 4) money.
Most of jihad is not violent, but the jihad of the sword is UNDENIABLY a part of Islam and it is violent.
Ken Isaacs should just say that: “the jihad of the sword is UNDENIABLY a part of Islam.”
Less than 1% of Muslims are military jihadists, but that doesn’t mean most Muslims reject violent jihad. Most Muslims are practicing the JIHAD OF THE TONGUE… taqiyya or sacred prevarication about the meaning, motive and methods of Islam.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, peace be with you. If US law is considered (.of course US law does not apply in the UN? sarc)18 United States Code Section 2, (18 U.S.C. 2), says that anyone who aids, abets, counsels or acts in furtherance of a federal crime is equally guilty.
The long established law of conspiracy is that “The acts of one are the acts of all; The knowledge of one is the knowledge of all.” A conspiracy is defined as an agreement between or among two or more people for an illegal purpose; or to use illegal means for an otherwise legal purpose, with any overt act, no matter how small, in furtherance.
An agreement or contract for an illegal purpose is void for enforcement as a legal commitment. A hundred people can conspire for 1 to commit a crime and only 1 actually do the deed. But all are equally guilty. Sooner or later this analysis could help bring about the end of the ongoing conquest of our country.
As far as the nominee, he was rejected and the judas goat selected for telling the truth. It’s too late to fix that absurdity. Respect and best wishes.
Frank Anderson says
Supplement: Consider the legal issues of the conspiracy of more or less 5,000 heroic people that was put into action by 1 to kill Adolf Hitler. If they had been subject to, charged, tried and convicted under US law, all would have been equally guilty of several crimes. Some acts can be viewed in more than one way, either as a crime, or under the circumstances of the Hitler attempt entirely justifiable. But just because the bomb was placed by one man, does not take away the responsibility of all involved.

Actually, I thought it would have been cool if Erwin Rommel’s plan to surrender the entire Western Front to the Americans in the Summer of 1944 would have reached fruition.

Indiana Tom, this is probably apocryphal.
Terry Gain says
The biggest threat to western civilization is Moderate Islam. Moderate Islam is still Islam which means of course that it is supremacist and totalitarian. When circumstances are right moderate Muslims will impose Sharia. It is their religious duty. Islam would be easier to defeat if there were more terrorists and fewer moderates. The latter have completely disarmed the foolish left, who oppose the counter jihad.

It’s because Isaacs tells the truth about Islam. And that’s not allowed!
Sons of Liberty says
Exactly ! Robert Spencer is 100% correct because so called peaceful Muslims never speak out about the calls for violence in the Qur’an certainly not in the mosque and rarely if at all in public . They BELIEVE in the supremacist ideology in the Qur’an and see nothing wrong with it , Muslims are SUPERIOR and everyone else is INFERIOR (dhimmi). Who else had that kind of BELIEF at the core of their ideology ,…..? An Austrian artist , turned WWI message runner turned German ………
JawsV says
How about the Muslims’ anti-Jew/Christian bigotry? Oh, that doesn’t matter, right Leftists?
Frank Anderson says
Having faced Jewish Liberals in the US, and being called a Nazi for telling the truth, I don’t think it matters in the least, to my great sadness.
Indiana Tom says
I suppose from some of my posts, i appear to be ant-Jew, but in reality I do not have big problems with either Israelis or conservative Jews and actually am supportive of them.
But I have had conservative Jews even tell me that the majority of Jews are Leftists and are actually cutting their own throats by their own organizations and policies. LGBT would fall into this category as well.
Frank Anderson says
I.T. I do not know “what” I am. The local Jewish community has become so “Left”, or has stopped pretending to follow Jewish teachings, that I am no longer welcome. I feel the same sadness about this condition as I do for the half of Germany’s Jews who just did not get the message about Hitler’s hatred and intention. I have spent more than 50 years studying WWII especially German history, and still am dumbfounded by the thought of so many people refusing to see what was happening. “Those who cannot remember the lessons of the past are condemned to repeat them.” Jorge Santayana, The Life of Reason (1905). Anger is not my response. Frustration, disappointment, sadness. . . are far more correct statements of my feeling. I wish better for all of us. I intend to do all in my power to help.

Not all Jews in the West are like this–but all too many *are* in denial, and are even ready to smear people who challenge their rose-colored view of Islam.

UN was relevant. Not anymore. It has become an organization of irrelevant liberal leftists.

The UN was never really relevant. It was early dominated by Communist nations; now by Muslim and other unfree countries.
b.a. freeman says
the UN long ago turned into a sick joke, run by generators of dead bodies and rape victims. the u.s. should have left it in the 1960s, when any rational person could see that only those full of s**t and/or larceny could have influence within it. it might have a few redeeming qualities, but the nation can avail itself of them without being part of a criminal enterprise.
if we are so hot to “help” people, we should take the money we are giving to the murderers and liars at this evil organization and hand it out to homeless people in the street, without checking anything about them. it would do *far* more good and *far* less damage that way.

Whenever the UN is in agreement they are wrong and someone will pay for their “good” intentions.

UN rejects Trump’s choice to head UN’s International Organization for Migration
………………….
No surprise there. We should get the US out of the UN. It is dominated by unfree countries–especially those of the OIC.
Mark Swan says
The U.N. is dominated and controlled by our enemies—
they are directly involved in this Muslim infestation we
are witnessing all over Western Society—they continually
lobby for this, enable this and protect this.
Many of the Western Social problems we are seeing today
are the direct result of those who see our ways as a hindrance
to their perception of how they would want things to be.
So we started and backed this U. N. hoping to bring some
Influence upon the Nations away from war—that is pushed
aside here—other interests and other agendas are predominating
all the influence that consensus with goodwill could yield.
Taking a new approach to counter what our numerous enemies
expect, will mean disengaging from this particular organization
filled with them, de-legitimizing those who are out to change
Western ways, hurting the World by depriving it of what most
want—freedom to live and let live.
The U.N. is a catalyst for disrupting the free World—all those
who would use it as a conduit to work there agendas, will have
to completely reorganize, find other means that are not so
established and conducive to there efforts, which cause serious
harm to the free World.
Any effort to change it from with-in would be futile—our
influence there is useless. We are vastly outnumbered by
enemies who can not be won-over—these left to their own
devices—will be infinitely less effective if we quit enabling
them through legitimizing them.
Can we find consensus—perhaps more so, when the terrible
weight of supporting the continuous interference that will
only get stronger as the U.N. continues with us in it, is
removed.

Jayell says
One small point – why is the UN concerning itself specifically with ‘migration’ at all? I can see it might have a useful role in dealing with humanitarian problems that result from war and disasters, where migration is a consequence, but I get the impression that the UN wants to get involved with ‘migration’ per se in order just to move people around. And I notice that it seems to be a case of moving non-Western people (particularly muslims) into the West without adequate cause and without reference to the wishes of Westerners. And of course there is the strange coincidence that this UN is now dominated by non-westerners and muslims in particular. So a picture emerges that the non-western UN cabals have a mind to deliberately flood the West with their own kind for reasons that no doubt do not need elaborating. No wonder they don’t want someone like President Trump’s man, who sees this situation for what it is.

I wish that Trump were an “Islamoprobic racist” at least then he could start removing this islamic cancer from America. The sooner the better.

This is called defending your country from attack. You know like we did in WW11 against the Nazis.

I think it is interesting that the total annual US “voluntary” and “obligatory” “contributions” to the UN and its parasite organizations could pay more or less the entire construction costs of a new aircraft carrier *each year*. What a waste for this ???????? The US used to have 16 carrier groups operating. Now it is down to 11. The delusions and lies believed by Neville Chamberlain, that evil can be turned good through diplomacy, have no place today. Evil has and always will hold such dreams and idiots in contempt. Traitors, collaborators and conspirators have made their decisions and have never once in history changed.

People who can’t think for themselves are attracted to Islam…since the Koran has all the answers from the God of Hate. Thinking for oneself is difficult…and lazy stupid minds can’t be bothered. Islam will be declared an illegal ideology and mosques will be closed down. They are the indocrinating centres and military cache storage sites, traditionally. They should all be raided.
Frank Anderson says
Jay, I think you are correct but do not go far enough. Please consider not only muslims and their collaborators, but also all of those who range from deliberately ignorant to willfully blind to the truth. Denial of unpleasant truth did not start when Hitler made his first public speech ca. 1920 blaming Jews for Germany’s post-WWI plight. I suggest that just as half of Germany’s Jews refused to believe what he said, wrote and directed through his organized killers, today we see the same refusal to face the murderous truth of islam worldwide.
Consider how hard it is to get many if not most people to make the connection that islam has taught slavery, murder and conquest for 1400 years and that its teachings are “complete, final, perfect and unchangeable.” There is a real challenge to awaken the sleepers that surround those who are awake. I wish I had answers or even suggestions that could help; but do not have any that seem to work right now. There must be some way if it could be found soon enough to help. Until that way is found, the brilliant Catholic teaching seems to fit: “It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness,”
