Note the title below: “Young Trump supporters told they need to fight terrorism on college campuses by ‘exposing Islam’ because all Muslims are ‘radical.” Then note the first line of the report: “Students attending a conservative conference on Thursday were told they needed to ‘expose Islam’ for the ‘ugly thing’ it is.”
Both lines have different meanings. First of all, I have yet to meet a respected conservative who has categorized all Muslims as “radicals.” This is another example of fake news. The second sentence about the need to “expose Islam for the ugly thing it is” is not without merit with regard to the Islamically-sanctioned abuses against women, gays, infidels, apostates, etc. Those who doubt this should try arguing with the Ayatollah Khamenei — the Iranian Supreme Leader, the Marja — or the Grand Mufti of Al Azhar, or the Sunni and Shia Islamic schools of jurisprudence. Leftist arrogance has made Leftists ridiculous, but also a foremost obstacle for those who are trying to preserve freedom and human rights. Such Leftists apparently have no problem with the untold millions murdered in the name of the “ugly thing” that is preached against infidels, women, gays, apostates etc.
It has become habitual for Leftist “journalists” to brazenly lie about conservatives. Shame on John Haltiwanger and Business Insider for publishing this sham of a report.
“Young Trump supporters told they need to fight terrorism on college campuses by ‘exposing Islam’ because all Muslims are ‘radical,'” by John Haltiwanger, Business Insider, December 21, 2018:
Students attending a conservative conference on Thursday were told they needed to “expose Islam” for the “ugly thing” it is.
The conference was held by Turning Point USA, a conservative advocacy group that has gained significant momentum in the Trump era. Its president and founder, Charlie Kirk, is close friends with Donald Trump Jr. and has met with and been retweeted by President Donald Trump.
Kirk’s communications director, Candace Owens, has made headlines in recent months because of her interactions with the rapper Kanye West and her connection to West’s infamous Oval Office meeting with the president. The publicity Owens got in relation to West helped elevate Turning Point USA’s national stature.
Thursday’s event, part of the conservative advocacy group’s annual Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida, saw closer links to today’s mainstream conservativism than it did a fringe right-wing movement.
Speakers at the conference included the younger Trump, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, the Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, and the British politician Nigel Farage.
Beyond the talks from the main speakers, TPUSA held smaller, breakout sessions hosted by its staff and in some cases other organizations, such as The Heritage Foundation.
Sophia Witt, the director of Israel outreach for Turning Point USA, directed the “F U-nity: Addressing Terrorism on Campuses” session at the conference.
Speaking with several dozen young attendees, Witt decried campus groups that claim solidarity with the Palestinians, singling out a group called Queers for Palestine….

Islam is radical and opposed to enlightened western values. All Muslims are adherents of a totalitarian, supremacist, ideology which has a doctrine and history of conquest. Islam does not accept equality of citizenship and equality of the sexes and Islam opposes freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. Not one Muslim majority nation is free.
If the above truths cannot be stated in public by respected conservatives, Islam will win the propaganda battle against the west and what is now creeping Sharia will gallop.

Islam is NOT radical. It’s just another ideology–albeit a truly “ugly” one.
PRCS says
Religious beliefs are just that, and Islam is no more “radical” than any other.
driesNaples Rd2S says
without going back two millennia or the crusades and inquisitions, which religions and ideologies do you speak? I do not know Christians who stab, put bombs or try to rape or convert as imposed in an evil book written by wicked scoundrels ignorant and barbaric ?, And I do not belong to religious sects of any kind, or even Catholicism. I believe instead in Jesus and at his word. Is this a crime?
PRCS says
“Religious beliefs are just that, and Islam is no more “radical” than any other.”
Explain how Islam is a “radical” belief.
Xero_G says
It’s a technicality but I agree with PRCS that Islam, is not, by itself, “radical”. Instead of “radical Islam”, the more accurate term would be,“radical Muslim”; a PERSON who closely, or literally, follows the Islamic faith as specified in the texts. A PERSON can be “radical” but not the faith by itself. There is no “radical Islam” but there ARE radical Muslims. The point at which a Muslim becomes “radical” is open to interpretation.
PRCS says
Thank you, ZG.
I agree. Confusing the “religion”, the ideology, the texts, with it’s followers is an all too common mistake.
But, I do disagree in one regard: rather than defining a PERSON who closely, or literally, follows the Islamic faith as specified in the texts (as they’re supposed to do), IMO, the term “radical” Muslim should be more like “truly devout” Muslim, or similar.
During these discussions, I’m reminded of the term “cafeteria Catholics” as an analogy to “moderate Muslim”.
Haven’t seen your posts, lately.
tt says
Radical here means hard-liner or hard-core – fundamental. And it is a worry IF one knows what is a fundament of Islam.
PRCS says
Good grief.
JOHN says
All Moslem’s are radical by nature of their heritage and ideology. Westernized, or secular, they are all part of the Dark Ages, Warrior Cult known as Islam and the two are inseparable. Islam is not, and has never been, an organized religion in the Judaeo-Christian sense, it has always been a brutal, violent martial movement engaged in war and conquest. To refer to it as anything less ins sheer insanity.
PRCS says
How are all Muslims “radical by nature of their heritage and ideology”?

Islam is Islam is radical. Islam is completely incompatible with enlightened western values. Islam opposed freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, gender equality and equality of citizenship.

Without “moderates” the extremists would not get away with it and without “extremists” the moderates would not be supremacist, “the protected species” for stealth jihad.

Words. Those who oppose the freedoms given by man’s Creator, use words to try to destroy those freedoms.
Comparing islam to other ways of thinking and living, and applying the meaning of “radical”…islam is radical to its core. Any person…male or female…that advocates for islam, believes islam, promotes islam, defends islam, lives by the tenets of islam…is working for a “radical” change in society.
Any moslim who does not recognize and wish to leave islam…is a “radical” compared to anyone who is not moslim.
Words are being misused, and meanings twisted in order to protect, promote and advocate for this “radical” and most of all…evil..cult of bloodthirsty creatures. They don’t just hate “women, homosexuals, etc.,’ they hate everything and everyone. They willingly kill any person without regret.
Years ago, I wrote that moslims are psychopaths because they have no empathy, no remorse, lie easily and often, don’t form loving attachments to others, seek to manipulate and control, …all of the traits of the psychopathic personality. Compared to a “normal” person, this is “radical.”
Wellington says
So-called moderate Muslims are “merely” Muslims who don’t implement nearly as many Islamic dictates as the most devout Muslims do. So, what is key here? Why the ideology itself. Relying upon “moderates” who adhere to any ideology which is radical and destructive of liberty in its very make-up is a fool’s errand. Actually, so-called moderates adhering to any heinous ideology, other examples being Nazism, Marxism and anarchism, provide cover for the decrepit ideology in question since so many ordinary but ignorant folks will make the gigantic mistake of assuming that such moderates are the true face of the ideology.
But they aren’t. Miss this and you miss a lot. Look to what an ideology says in order to accurately judge that ideology, whether that ideology is malevolent or benign.
Mark Swan says
Yes indeed Wellington, what the Ideology says is key to assessing it.

The problem is how do you distinguish the good Muslim from the evil one. Time after time a good one suddenly goes all allahu Akbar with great violence.

The man must be an idiot.savage mad devil Trump is going to fall soon from the bribes his company and his son-in-law Fared kushner received from idiot bastard murderer Ibn salman to cover the gruesome murder of khashoggi, genocide in Yemen and blockade of Qatar.American Congress is currently investigating.
Unknown to this mithraist christian idiot that mithraist christianity is the source of all evils inspired by one-eyed Satan god mithraist christians Call Holy Spirit like genocide, lies, colonisations/neocolonisations and deprivations of other nations to steal. I will keep on using Chinese style of kicking to kick the Satan harder supported by prayers from the Quran for pagan mithraist christianity to come to and end.

While you are indulging in your islamic “prayers” from your theologically erroneous koran,perhaps you should follow allah’s advice given to your “prophet” muhammed in the koran{k10:94} that,if in doubt “question those who read the scripture that was before thee”{i.e the Bible}
allah wants you muslims to check with..the Bible{koran 10:94}
The Gospel,which allah says he bestowed upon Jesus{koran 5 v 46-47} and which allah confirms as true {koran 3:3}contains prophetic information which GUARANTEES the survival of the Christianity you muslims hate so much.
“Let the people of the Gospel judge by that which allah hath revealed therein.
whoso judgeth not by that which allah hath revealed,such are evil-living”
koran 5 v 47.
allah does not approve of muslims attacking “that which allah hath revealed” which in this case happens to be.. the Gospel.
When you say “pagan mithraist christianity”:since allah claims he wrote the Gospel.allah therefore is the author of that “pagan mithraist christianity”.
You are saying allah is a pagan because if you attack what allah says in koran 5 v 46-47 that is what you are saying!
And not a word of this will you understand of course..

Erdogan of Turkey: “there is no moderate Islam, there is no non-moderate Islam. Islam is one thing”
Let’s face it: with every attack on Western society, you don’t see these ‘peaceful’ Muslims leaving Islam, do you? Protesting against these actions?..No. Oh, wait.. there are always a token few with their flowers and fake tears.. And then the inevitable outcry at ‘possible’ retaliation.. Victimhood!
So there are a great number of people who believe violence, instilling fear, changing laws to fit Islam dogma is the way to do things.
And I don’t want to hear about violence in the Bible.. Judaism and Christianity have changed through the ages.. Islam is still the 7th century culture it started out as…
PRCS says
Islam underwent an “enlightenment”, too.

These so called “Leftist” elites have carried out TO THE LETTER, the plans for our destruction as a Nation put forth by the Soviet communists starting in the 40’s! And continuing through the 50’s and 60’s.
They boldly stood at the podium of the United Nations, beating a shoe on the table and told us exactly how they would destroy us WITHOUT HAVING TO FIRE A SHOT!
And, from where I’m sitting, IT HAS WORKED AS PLANNED!
