Jihad Watch

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

Bill Clinton’s new novel features “Sons of Jihad” leader who is “not Muslim”

Jul 14, 2018 5:24 pm By Robert Spencer

Bill Clinton and James Patterson almost certainly didn’t write this book; it was likely written by hired hands. But they are still responsible for its contents, which reflects Leftist wishful thinking. In the minds of the political and media elites, jihad terrorists are indeed not Muslim. I remember years ago, during the George W. Bush administration, a State Department official in conversation with me caught and corrected himself after referring to jihadis as Muslim, saying abashedly, “I shouldn’t say they are Muslim…”

Well, what are they? Seventh Day Adventists? Something like that, anyway. In the Clinton/Patterson novel, the fictional President explains that “he held a telephone conversation with ‘the most dangerous and prolific cyberterrorist in the world,’ Suliman Cindoruk, who leads an organization known as Sons of Jihad. (‘He’s Turkish-born, but he’s not Muslim,’ Duncan says.”

Clinton and Patterson likely really believe that jihadis aren’t Muslim, but this is ridiculous. Jihad is an Islamic concept. There is no concept of jihad outside of Islam. Read my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, and you may notice that in fourteen centuries of jihad warfare around the globe, the jihadis all have one thing in common: each and every one of them is Muslim. But this Suliman Cindoruk is Turkish and jihadist, yet somehow not Muslim. Leftist fantasy embodied.

“Bill Clinton and James Patterson’s Concussive Collaboration,” by Anthony Lane, New Yorker, June 18, 2018 (thanks to Mark):

…Bill Clinton, who can write, has hooked up with James Patterson, who can’t, but whose works have sold more than three hundred and seventy-five million copies, most of them to happy and contented customers for whom good writing would only get in the way. This unlikely pact has resulted in “The President Is Missing” (Knopf and Little, Brown), which we must, not without reservations, describe as a thriller. Get a load of this: “The stun grenades detonate, producing a concussive blast of 180 decibels.” A hundred and eighty, mark you, and not a decibel less! If that isn’t thrilling, I can’t imagine what is….

Jon Duncan is the President of the United States, “fifty years old and rusty.” The events in the novel are designed to put the shine back on. Duncan is, by his own account, “a war hero with rugged good looks and a sharp sense of humor,” not to mention a beguiling modesty. He served in Operation Desert Storm, in Iraq, where he was wounded. He is also a former governor of North Carolina. His wife died not long ago, and now it’s just him and his daughter…

Remember who is the putative principal author of this book.

Cue the stress. Duncan is facing possible impeachment, partly because his opponents are careerist weasels but mainly because, according to leaked reports, he held a telephone conversation with “the most dangerous and prolific cyberterrorist in the world,” Suliman Cindoruk, who leads an organization known as Sons of Jihad. (“He’s Turkish-born, but he’s not Muslim,” Duncan says. That faint sound you can hear is our two authors treading very, very carefully.)…

      The Muslim Brotherhood’s Global Threat

        Thank you! This is great. Muslim Dr. Jasper has some balls. I don’t think he’s a fake.

        Under PM David Cameron in Britain they had laid out the danger of the Muslim Brotherhood but nothing was done of it. I guess because of globalists and the Euro-Arab EU, etc. Likewise, when he pointed out Mayor Sadiq Khan’s shady associations such as with the terrorist-supporting Cage, he was called a racist. Leftists are as much a problem.

        I did not know about this hearing so I’m so glad I looked at the comments. Thanks again!

    DAMN LIARS!

    Mohammed was once approached by a man who asked if he could join the jihad. Mohammed responded, ‘First join Islam.’ The man then fought and was killed fighting.

    How can a jihadist *not* be a Muslim? Clearly, that would be a contradiction in turns.

    This verbal gymnastic is simply a DAMN LIE.

    – “Jihad is a communal obligation,” meaning upon the MUSLIMS each year. [Reliance of the Traveller, Book O9.1]

    – RoT – O9.0: Jihad : (O: Jihad means to war against NON-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion.

    – RoT – O9.9 : The caliph fights all other peoples UNTIL THEY BECOME Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book …

    There is no question these two ( Clinton and Patterson) are damn liars and FOOLS.

    JIHAD CLEARLY COMES FROM ISLAM and is an religious ACTIVITY of MUSLIMS.

    – RoT – O9.9 : The caliph fights all other peoples UNTIL THEY BECOME Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book …

    Jihad is a war against NON-MUSLIMS to force them to CONVERT.

    Official Definition of Jihad according to Saudi Arabia:

    “Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.” – footnotes on p.39, ‘The Noble Koran’, published by King Fahd Complex for Publication of the Quran, Madinah, KSA.

    The cover-up for Islam continues, this time courtesy in part to the sexual predator, Bill Clinton.

    • mortimer says

      Jul 14, 2018 at 10:02 pm

      Agree. “COVER-UP FOR ISLAM”. It is damnable to put people’s lives at risk by LYING TO THEM and LULLING THEM TO SLEEP when the DANGER IS EXTREME.

      Islam in the West will soon be ready for it’s NEXT GREAT JIHAD thanks to DHIMMIS like Clinton who are TOTALLY CLUELESS ABOUT ISLAMIC INTENTIONS.

      “JIHAD” is not an “INSURGENCY MOVEMENT”, Clinton … JIHAD Is a bloody WAR OF WORLD CONQUEST !

      Clinton’s a fool and a liar.

    • Donald Sullivan says

      Jul 15, 2018 at 8:55 pm

      It is not merely a cover-up for Islam, it is a boon to the cause of Islam. Large numbers of uninformed Americans will read this drivel and believe that the Jihad and resulting terrorism is not really Islam. Sadly, many Americans are already brainwashed into believing that Islam is a “religion of peace,” and this will reinforce that belief.

    “No true Scotsman” or appeal to purity is an informal fallacy in which one attempts to protect a universal generalization from counterexamples by changing the definition in an ad hoc fashion to exclude the counterexample.

    No Muslim would commit violence to spread Islam.

    But, this Manis Muslim, and he did.

    Ah, but no TRUE Muslim would do such a thing.

    …a jihadi that IS not a Muslim.?

    Well, that depends on what your definition of “is” is.

    So ridiculous! Who squanders money on such rubbish? Thank God I have better things to do with my money and time …like burn it, then get a colonoscopy.

    Patterson can’t write and clinton can’t speak the truth.

    Put the two together and write something they believe will sell….they are both sorely in need of money, are they not? anything for a dirty dollar.

    The advice is : write what you know.

    clinton knows a lie when he speaks it. Now, he’s writing them. It’s clear, there is a motive behind the book and it’s not just to make money. But the money won’t hurt.

    And, although patterson can’t write….boring is saying it mildly, and stupid is closer to his methods…he has a name and a publisher that will get this book on the shelves and into the hands of the uninformed who believe the lies about islam and terrorism.

    But Bill, how can you say you’ve written a book where a non-Muslim leads a group called Sons of Jihad?

    I suspect this is the narrative the Left will use increasingly as more and more terror attacks occur. They can’t deny the existence of Terror attacks but they can claim the attackers are not muslims or not real muslims. Anything but muslim, but deny the link to Islam.

    Islamic Fan Fiction

    Clinton’s antagonist is Turkish and a jihadist, “but not Muslim” in a leftist’s fantasy world. Attention liberals: Turkey is a country that is 99.8% Muslim. A country becomes 90% Muslim by the persecution and terrorizing of non-Muslims.

  16. Z says

    Jul 15, 2018 at 3:57 pm

    And why does Bill Clinton think he has what it takes to write anything good?

  17. Gjallarhornet says

    Jul 16, 2018 at 5:10 am

    To hold that jihadis are not muslim, is to say that muslims are not muslims. That since every muslim in some sense is obligated to carry out jiihad, although what ‘jihad’ means can be a myraid of things, most of them not related to terrorism. But it’s still jihad, since jihad is a duty to a muslim.

    Anyway, an ex-president of the United States has just stated that all muslims are in error and – as a consequence – that of today no true muslims exist . Congratulations!
