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

Democrat Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema promoted events featuring lawyer convicted of aiding jihad terror

Oct 10, 2018 11:39 am By Robert Spencer

The Left maintains that Islamic jihad terror is not a problem — it’s just a reaction to the evil deeds of the U.S. and Israel. “Islamophobia,” Leftists insist, is a much greater issue. This is the result: Useful Idiots such as Kyrsten Sinema end up promoting the likes of Lynne Stewart, who was convicted of aiding the jihad mass murder plotting of the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman, who masterminded the 1993 World Trade Center. If you don’t recognize the reality, nature, and magnitude of the jihad threat, you may well end up abetting the jihad.

“Senate Dem hopeful Kyrsten Sinema promoted events featuring convicted terror lawyer,” by Lukas Mikelionis, Fox News, October 10, 2018:

U.S. Democratic Senate hopeful Kyrsten Sinema promoted events at Arizona State University featuring a lawyer convicted for aiding an Islamist terror organization and its leader.

Sinema, a co-founder of the activist group Local to Global Justice, invited people in a now-closed Yahoo group to attend two events with Lynn Stewart, both in 2003.

At the time of the invite, Stewart had been charged with helping her former client Omar Abdel Rahman, a radical Egyptian spiritual leader of a terror group, to pass on secret messages to his followers to commit terror attacks.

Rahman was a former client of Stewart’s who was charged and sentenced to life in the 1990s for plotting to blow up the United Nations, an FBI building, two tunnels, and a bridge in New York City.

In the first event’s invite, Sinema said the lawyer was “emphatically not guilty” and would not have been charged with the crime if it weren’t for “the hastily enacted PATRIOT Act,” that expanded the U.S. government’s power to surveil people and thus catch Stewart passing on the messages in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.

“Prior to September 11th and the hastily enacted ‘Patriot Act,’ Lynne Stewart never would have been indicted at all,” the invite posted by Sinema read.

“Last April, FBI agents arrested Stewart at her Brooklyn home. As they took her away in handcuffs, the FBI invaded and searched her Manhattan office. Her crime? Doing her job for the past 27 years as an outspoken criminal defense lawyer,” it added.

The second event with Stewart came just days later after the first.

Sinema’s description of Stewart was not particularly accurate. Two years after the events in Arizona, Stewart was convicted of aiding the radical Egyptian cleric to pass on secret messages to a U.S.-designated terror group, the Islamic Group.

She was initially sentenced to 28 months in prison but, in 2010, she was resentenced again for 10 years behind bars. The federal judge said Stewart also committed perjury and lacked remorse after her first sentencing. The lawyer was eventually released in 2013 due to her medical condition and died in 2017.

Stewart reportedly helped Rahman, known as the ‘Blind Sheikh’, between 1997 and 2002 to pass instructions to the terror group’s followers. According to Bloomberg, Rahman relied on Stewart and two other people to withdraw his group’s support for the cease-fire with the Egyptian government after its 1997 terror attack that left 62 people dead….

    The Globalist-Left has double-standards: IT ISN’T TERRORISM, RAPE, THEFT, VIOLENCE, etc. WHEN MUSLIMS DO IT.

    The noble savages are forgiven for every crime or they get lighter sentences.

    Terrorism would be wrong if someone ‘right-wing’ did it. But Krysten Sinema pooh-poohs the Patriot Act. Let’s not be picky, people. We all know it isn’t TERRORISM when Muslims do it, because (according Dem Party Official Line) Islam is ‘peaceful’ and thus there cannot be a Muslim terrorist.

    We all know that!

    Don’t we all ‘know that’, or are you a heretic … a witch?

      I think the leftist dims may actually be looking for future suicide bombers, in all honesty. They are crazy enough right now to almost do it themselves. the dims are truly getting out of control. Jihadists are their natural allies.

      Seems the Democratic party is reaching for the bottom of the barrel at every turn of the flat tire they are riding on…Trying to grab the Muslim vote by attaching themselves to Muslims,by example, this democrat with a lawyer who promoted jihad……Not speaking out against what is happening in Islam today with the jihad that has never stopped since its inception…. attaching themselves to the Islamic movement to establish sharia law, and that’s what they are doing by association with characters of the type this woman associates with……Now the Republicans aren’t doing much better when it comes to admitting that there is a Muslim jihad problem…well actually a problem in Islam itself.

    Leftist women apparently want to live like the women of, oh, say, Persia. Mere logic cannot explain this, but it sure looks like a well-documented occurrence.

    One of the two parties has entered into an alliance with Islam. Although both have sworn to uphold the Constitution, one is taking orders from people whose ideology is incompatible with the Constitution.

    Socialism is wonderful, terrorism is freedom fighting social justice, communism is fine (see: Google helping China brutalize their citizens), the United States is evil (see: Google refusing to strengthen U.S. national security), but not so evil every tech giant starts and bases themselves elsewhere, Islam is considered fantastic by those proclaiming themselves to be focused upon dismantling misogyny and bigotry, Christianity is to be sneered at invariably, the capitalism so many social programs require as their principal is demonized, free speech is outmoded and naive, censorship is progress, white people are lamentable despite their being so immensely popular (see: migration patterns), “Eastern medicine” is to be given laughable acclaim solely based upon its being non-Western (forget its efficacy), yoga is cultural appropriation while antibiotics or the internet are not, the US is the most racist country on earth while taking in more immigrants than all other countries combined in many years, Japan takes in a dozen immigrants for reasons related to race/ethnicity and is not racist, multiculturalism is vital–except in locations outside Canada, the US, Northwestern/Central Europe, Australia and New Zealand, civility only applies when you’re getting what you want, chasing people out of restaurants is activism, and claiming “rapist,” “Nazi,” or “racist” is free only free speech.

    Quite a bunch and movement we’re dealing with. And so ends this “venting.”

      ‘What angers leftists…’

      They know that we’re honest and decent, and they’re not. And they hate that WE can win by being honest and decent, and THEY can’t. Kavanaugh circus a case in point.

    The lefts seem only to seek for money and power, do not care about moral, dignity and other virtue values, no wonder the lefts often flip flop on what they say/do as long as they achieve their goals. And they don’t really care about other people, including their own people.

    In this case, the lefts are no different than the “good and pious” muslims.

    Understated as always: Let me help you be more clear:
    ” If you don’t recognize {OR DENY} the reality, nature, and magnitude of the jihad threat, you may well end up abetting the jihad.”

    So the universities promote events that sympathize with jihad terror, and banish those who speak against terror.

      That is right.

    Big surprise. Left untwisted wackadoodle wingnuts all have something disgusting in common:
    They all have two things on their hands – blood, and camel manure.
