Surprised? Don’t be: “Omar has been condemned multiple times by her Democratic colleagues for pushing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories used by Nazi Germany and using anti-Semitic tropes. Omar has compared Israel to the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism in media interviews where she also suggested that Israel should not be allowed to exist as a Jewish state. Omar has suggested that her Jewish colleagues devised a plan to silence her by accusing her of being anti-Semitic and suggesting that Omar was expecting one of her Jewish colleagues to have dual loyalties to Israel. Omar also claimed that pro-Israel groups were paying off U.S. politicians to have dual loyalties to Israel.”
“The Daily Wire again contacted Omar’s office on Friday via phone and email to give them another chance to respond and notified them that a non-response would be considered a ‘refusal to condemn’ these acts. Omar’s office again did not respond to the inquiries.”
I find such journalistic practices distasteful, as I’ve been the target of numerous attempts by far-Left “journalist” propagandists to push me into affirming things I didn’t believe. However, in such cases I always answered and clarified my position rather than allow the “journalist” to spin the story his or her way without any input from me, although of course my input was not always used in the resulting story. In Omar’s case, however, she obviously realizes that she is widely regarded as anti-Semitic, and if she isn’t, should have responded to the Daily Wire and made that clear. Her non-response is in keeping with the Leftist and Islamic supremacist practice of never according opponents even basic human respect and courtesy, a Leninist/Alinskyite practice that has echoes in Muhammad’s behavior toward Infidels, and is intended to dehumanize and marginalize them, giving those on the fence the impression that they are outside the bounds of all respectable discourse. In this case, however, Omar is only solidifying the negative impression that even many Democrats have of her.
“Omar Refuses To Condemn Gays Being Stoned To Death Under Sharia Law, Violence Against Israel From Hamas,” by Ryan Saavedra, Daily Wire, March 29, 2019:
“This is abhorrent and inhumane,” Omar tweeted of the conditions in which a group of detained migrants was being kept. “It’s without a doubt a reflection of what white nationalism is doing to our country. As a country, we have to acknowledge that this is how people are being treated here and decide that we are better and we must do better.”
Following Omar’s remarks, The Daily Wire reached out to her office via phone and email to get her thoughts on two recent news items.
The first story comes from Brunei, where Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah has said that new Sharia laws that are going into effect are a form of “special guidance” from God, according to Sky News.
The nation is going to introduce death by stoning as a punishment for gay sex and “amputation for those guilty of theft under sharia law, with both penalties to also apply to children once implemented.”
The second story comes out of the Middle East, where the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas recently fired 20 rockets into Israel and destroyed the homes of innocent civilians.
The Daily Wire asked Omar if she could provide comment on either story and if she found either of these acts to be “abhorrent and inhumane.”
The Daily Wire also asked Omar if she would say that these acts are due to radical Islam.
Omar and her office refused to respond to multiple requests for comment.
The Daily Wire again contacted Omar’s office on Friday via phone and email to give them another chance to respond and notified them that a non-response would be considered a “refusal to condemn” these acts. Omar’s office again did not respond to the inquiries….

Actually this works to educate gays about the real doctrines of Islam on a massive scale. Where an occasional Imam might prevaricate about the status of gays, and get away with it, Oman and Tlaib, with celebrity status, put it directly in the iinternational spotlight. Oman is at a crossroad of public opinion and will likely join AOC if her anti-gay, anti-semitism continues. Somehow these last two, after being immersed in local popularity think they represent the US majority view, when, in fact, they do not.

Send her back to sand pack Saudi Arabia where her hubby can beat the shit out of 7 days a week.
KWJ says
She’s not from Saudi Arabia, she’s from Somalia. Anyway, KSA deported a bunch of Somalians and they’re racist just as other Arabs who look down on black Africans. (I’m still waiting for black Muslims to explain why they worship a slave-holding and slave-dealing Prophet warlord and hundreds of years of “white” Arabs saying mean things about blacks.)
She talks about “white supremacy” which is ironic and considering she’s making nearly $180,000 in Congress at taxpayers’ expense to spew her ideology and anti-Israel-Jew hate.
Well, Muhammad was referred to as white which means he was not black nor a dark brown Arab like Bedouins traveling in the sun. Not British pale white but there is like a hierarchy of whiteness with Somalians Ethiopians, sub-Saharan Black Africans at the bottom.
Black Americans which I tend to mean American blacks whose great and great-great grandfathers were born here due to the slavery trade are not like nor live like Somalian Ilhan Omar and her ideas and religious ideology are equally repugnant.
Milking the white supremacy in this vein is deceptive tactics. I doubt most black Americans want to be repressed and suppressed under Islamic sharia law as much as I don’t.
If she cares about women and calls hijabs as some kind of emancipatory thing and beauty, she might go back to Somalia where women suffer from even more of a lack of education, risk in giving birth, very patriarchal attitudes, poverty, female genital mutilation not so uncommonly resulting in death and infection for the purpose of suppressing girls’ sexuality and roaming eyes aka property of men. The hijab means submission and the women in their slavery-holding prophet’s community were forced to wear them and designate them apart from non-Muslim women.
She’s loathsome. It’s not because she is Muslim, per se, though her Muslimness is a factor, because we don’t like other politicians too regardless of their religion or skin color. But here she is feeding from the trough of Congress with her repugnant ideas both when she was in state government and now. Really, insurance payments to families of people who leave to go be martyrs with terrorist groups? That’s what Hamas and Iran do…pay families of terrorists.
The “deep state” or whomever too must want her there because and then put her on a foreign affairs committee?? That’s like a slap in the face to Americans, at least most of them. Obviously the anti-Israel attitude was spelled out by Bat Ye’or and doesn’t truly have to do with peace processes or a two-state solution which Hamas doesn’t want anyway. And Arafat was given a Nobel prize…that’s how crazy the European + cabal is and who appear not to care about the disastrous consequences.
Rant.
lebel says
Message to Omar. Your religion orders you to lie to infidels. Why not fulfil this essential component which was created precisely for such predicaments? It’s really easy, watch:
Me: “Hey Omar, do you condemn the killing of gays?”
Omar: “Of course I do, it’s horrible! ” Wink wink
THAT’S IT! that’s all you need to do, all other Muslims have been trained in taqqiya and would understand. Why don’t you lie? just please lie and smile!
Man, it’s almost lie Omar never heard of taqqiya, of course that’s impossible so what could be the simplest explanation?
Elizabeth Baklaich says
She knows it, she used in in the temple during the primaries about BDS which is why she had support from the Minnesota Jewish community. I think she thinks she is untouchable, and as such can break ground for her fellow MB brothers and sisters, moving the overton window.
We have got to legally remove her from office.
CogitoErgoSum says
So what did Muhammad and the Quran have to say on the subject? That is where people should be looking to find the answer to their question. What Omar has to say about it does not matter. If she contradicts what is found in Islamic scripture, then she is lying. So I’m sure she would prefer to remain silent until another time when circumstances are different.
lebel says
” If she contradicts what is found in Islamic scripture, then she is lying. So I’m sure she would prefer to remain silent until another time when circumstances are different.”
Not sure what this means. You are not only allowed to lie but ENCOURAGED. so all she needs to do is lie but she doesn’t.
CogitoErgoSum says
She hasn’t lied yet anyway. And yes, she could lie if it benefited Islam but in this case I don’t see how her lying would benefit Islam. People can find out what the Quran and Muhammad has to say about stoning homosexuals. If she says something other than what Muhammad or the Quran says about it, she is lying. If she condemns stoning homosexuals then she is condemning the words of Muhammad and the Quran. So, she is keeping quiet for now. If the Quran and Muhammad don’t represent her true views, then what does?

Grace Ziem, MD, DrPH says
I find Muslims extremely reluctant to EVER criticize Mohammed or something he said or did. Taqyyia is done to promote spread of Islam; criticizing the prophet may not qualify. Good to try to force answers, tho; like does she believe in female infant mutilation, in 4 wives for Muslim men, ok to beat wives, etc. This is how to expose Muslims to the non-educated American public.
gravenimage says
Good analysis, Grace.
lebel says
The bigger point is the following. Fpr jihadwatchers, there is nothing that Omar could say which would not confirm evil Muslim intentions apart from:
“slam is evil, the Prophet is a pedophile and all Muslims including myself should be immediately deported”
That’s it, everything else confirms the pre-established belief that Omar is an evil Muslim with necessarily evil Muslim intentions because the system is set up so that Muslims are evil whether they condemn something or not. It’s a simple but effective system. Heck even ex-Muslims are suspect under such a system.
Demsci says
Looks like you are onto something, Lebel, you with your “mirror of Jihad Watchers”.
But consider the extensive knowledge of Robert Spencer and Jihad Watchers of not only all most important Islamic guiding texts but also of the position of leading Islamic scholars and behavior of Muslims when in position of power throughout the ages and still. Which is pretty un-democratic and quite totalitarian and generally not liked in the West.
When she affirms that, she will be vulnerable to endless critical responses and she will have no chance in politics.
But what if she contradicts the texts, scholars, behavior, prevalent opinion and behavior among Muslims?
Then many with a lot of Islamic knowledge will think she lies, sure enough. How is that unreasonable?
Another possible reaction; OK assuming she speaks from the heart, as honest as she can.
Then hey, look at how divers the interpretations of Quran-Sira-Hadiths are! If Muslims, and also their leftist sympathizers, proclaim such enormously varying and contradicting tenets and principles, who can take Islam seriously? It can be anything to anybody,
What does that tell us of Quran-Sira-Hadiths and the resulting practice of Islam? Ilhan Omar may be totally honest but in being so she might well undermine Muslims claim of clarity of Islam and therewith its divine origine.

I’m not sure, lebel, why you continue to provide cover to Islam, the most extensively hideous religion in all of man’s history I would contend, but that you do is indisputable.
Why do you do this? Enlighten us who are convinced that Islam is the proto-type and predecessor of Nazism, i.e., master faith v. master race. Give it a shot, lebel.

lebel says
SImply put, I don’t believe that Islam is what RS says it is. By using selected quotes and relying on the opinions of some jurists (and extremists) he seeks to radicalize US public opinion against (all) Muslims.
Demsci says
“By using selected quotes and relying on the opinions of some jurists (and extremists)”
But what do you believe that Islam IS, lebel?! Your version very probably does exactly the same thing. Only in the reverse direction. Not painting all Muslims with a black brush, but instead with a white brush so to speak.
As we have witnessed both on and outside Jihad Watch. Robert Spencers expert view of Islam, well underpinned with texts and reasoning, does appear NOT to have a strong clear alternative view. As the leftists often remind us: “THE Islam does not exist”.
At best RS view has the alternative of an ambiguous, contradicting Islam, exacerbated through immutability and incompleteness, that is multi-interpretable, multi usable. If this is so, Muslims are stuck with a weak central doctrine and internal leadership.
Kay says
libel,
I don’t think RS seeks to move opinion about Muslims in any way. His goal is to bring the teachings of Islam to light.
How about you? Have you compared the values and teaching of Islam with other belief systems or other governmental systems? What are your conclusions? Can you point out a post where RS is wrong in his analysis of Islam? For instance, the issue of lying seems to be stuck in your craw. Lying is clearly and explicitly against the teachings of Judaism and Christianity. What do you know about the teachings against lying found in Islam?
elee says
Lebel, I think you’re both right and wrong. The defining scriptures of Islam are pretty clear about that. But people who call themselves Muslims maybe don’t really think about it a lot, which might be the same as not believing that stuff. And I can attest, like Churchill, that I have known kind, honest and compassionate Muslims.
There are problems with saying that the scriptural passages “are not Islam,” even if that assertion describes the daily lives and thoughts of a billion people. One problem is that the sociopathic verses are still there, still memorized in madrasas and Muslim universities and our own Qatari-financed “Middle East Studies” programs at our universities. Any time a moderate or secular Muslim gets curious about his or her origins, the process that leads a westerner to a genealogy website……..can awaken a sleeper……who then finds that the only places that quote and construe the scriptures are run by, oh, say ISIS or Persia. Recent experience in America and Europe suggest that this happens a lot, and innocent people die when it does.
In another part of the world thousands of kafirs lived in peace with their Muslim neighbours for centuries. They were friends, they trusted each other and liked each other. And then scripture-reading Muslims with western weapons came and started killing and enslaving per scriptural directions. And what happened next? The local Muslims betrayed their neighbours, ratted them out, and the men got shot and the women became sex slaves. And there’s a lot of precedent for Muslims reading their scriptures and killing and enslaving.
Here in the West we believe in examining ideas, asking questions and testing assertions in a free-speech forum. Under Islam that gets you killed or enslaved.
Lebel, there’s a bit of injustice done here to “moderate Muslims.” They exist, and many are most estimable men and women. In this context the recent suggestion by British Muslim Maajid Nawaz has merit…..if not euphonicity…..when he suggests we start saying “Muslimphobia” rather than “Islamophobia.” I don’t fear any Muslim, but I fear Islam. I don’t fear sick people, but I fear Ebola, and there’s nothing “irrational” about that.

…………………….
Robert Spencer has said that Islam allows both the murder of gay people and stoning as a punishment. And here is Brunei imposing just these punishments.
How did this happen? Did the Sultan of Brunei somehow get taken in by that dastardly “Islamophobe” Robert Spencer? Of did he, perhaps, just look at this own bloody scripture?
And then we have another Muslim who refuses to say anything critical about these savage punishments–why would this be the case, if she actually opposed it?
If lebel *really* thought there was something wrong with stoning gay people to death and that this has nothing to do with Islam, why wouldn’t he take this up with Muslims, rather than castigating the good people here at Jihad Watch for considering this barbaric?
And note that in all his lengthy posting here that he *himself* fails to condemn the murder of Gays. This is not an accident. I will ask him now to condemn this himself–but I won’t be holding my breath waiting for him to do so.
And no–telling the truth about Islam is not “radicalizing” against all Muslims. Unless lebel is saying that all Muslims agree that Gay people be murdered. Why would this be the case, if it has nothing to do with Islam?
eduardo odraude says
lebel, she might not know that much about Islam’s totalitarian doctrine or about taqiyya. But she seems to be on board with a lot of the people who do know. Even if she does know about taqiyya, there is no reason to assume, as you do, that she must always use deception when difficult questions are asked. Silence is often safer and less complicated than lying.
Romney Dickinson says
I have scrolled down dozens of comments. Am tired of academic theories. We have talked islam and muslims to death verbally. And little enters the minds of folks. Islam IS ALL PURE EVIL. There is not good and bad islam. If islam is lived then it is evil, barbarian, beyond humanity and civilization. While we talk, debate and combat islam with words they are at actual war with ALL NON-MUSLIMS. They murder daily here and around the world. Some here even welcome this cancer with “inter-faith programs of tolerance and acceptance” as zealously done by almost all faiths. I have contacted the denominations directly. They have no problems doing so. They are proud. Islam IS NOT COMPATIBLE with our faith, constitution, military, culture. WHY DON’T FOOLS UNDERSTAND AND TAKE TO HEART WHAT ISLAM IS PROCLAIMING……right into our ears and media. They have the deepest desire to murder every one of us to the last infidel. So, I don’t see this as a discussion any more. It is time to declare war. If we don’t we are no longer existing. Maslow put survival at the top of the list. Somehow, clever islamic conspiracy and our P.C. has eradicated that in a lot of humans. You will give up your lives to murderers, and yet sue your neighbors or a family member over trivial matters. YOU ARE INSANE.
gravenimage says
lebel is being utterly dishonest here–what a surprise.
Taqiyya is a *tactic*–it is not as though Muslims are taught that they have to lie to Infidels about all aspects of Islam under all circumstances, whether it is advantageous to them or not.
Obviously Omar does not want to go on record condemning Islam’s murder of Jews and gay people here–or, likely, other hideous aspects of Islam and Shari’ah, either.
Why would she do this, since most Americans, whatever their political differences, are horrified by this? Of course, I cannot know her motives for certain, but I can think of a few points–chief among them is that if she condemns this savagery now, that she may well be called upon to do so in future. I doubt very much that she would want to be known as a go-to source as a Muslim who will condemn both Islam and Shari’ah, and the actions of her own coreligionists.
Also, Muslims only use Taqiyya where they think that acknowledging the horrors of Islam will hurt them–some Muslims are now so emboldened that they don’t think they have to hide the barbarism of Islam. This may also be the case with Omar, but it looks as though Americans are proving her wrong.
Wellington says
Very solid response to the deceitful lebel, gravenimage.
Instructive, as you pointed out, that sometimes deception is used by Muslims to present Mohammedanism to the kuffaar in an anodyne way, but yet at other times, per your assessment respecting being emboldened, it’s simply Islam put forth with no chaser.

I actually consider Democrats to be the biggest threat to the USA. They have been like this for a long time. What FDR and his thugs did to my Grandparents is unforgivable as they were too productive at farming in the 1930s and were made an example of, in which the milk and other items were destroyed and heavy fines imposed. Sort of like Stalin with Ukrainian Holodomor and Dekulakization. More than a few German Americans and German immigrants were put in camps in WW2. FDR really was responsible for prolonging the depression and much of the New Deal had to be repealed just to make armaments in WW2. The real hero of production in WW2 was a Dane named Knute Knudsen. You might be more familiar with his offspring, Bunkie Knudsen.
Wellington says
I agree, Indiana Tom. The Democratic Party of today has actually become, treated in the aggregate, a national security risk.
Respecting the Democratic Party of old, yes, better than the Democratic Party now, but still pretty awful. One of the great myths of American history is what you already touched upon, i.e., the New Deal being something positive. It did indeed prolong the Depression while giving the impression it worked. But it did not. Unemployment in 1938 was essentially the same as it was in 1933, as Henry Morgenthau, FDR’s Treasury Secretary, admitted. What saved FDR economically was WWII which put America back to true work, nor fake work.
Actually, and to be bi-partisan here, Herbert Hoover is the original meddler and he was ten-upped by FDR. When the market crashed in October of 1929, President Hoover asked his Treasury Secretary, Andrew Mellon, what he should do. Mellon gave Hoover priceless advice which Hoover ignored. Mellon told Hoover to do nothing and after a year or so the market would bottom out and then resurgence would once again begin. But Hoover didn’t listen to Mellon and fiddled with the economy, lecturing business owners not to lower wages (even though doing so with declining profits is a perfectly reasonable thing to do).
Hoover also created the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) which engaged in much more federal involvement in the economy—to no good effect. A bitter irony of American history is that in the 1932 Presidential campaign FDR, the Democratic Presidential candidate, accused Hoover of too much federal involvement in the economy! Unbelievable considering what FDR did when he came into office in March of 1933 after soundly defeating Hoover.
But now, things are much worse. I don’t know how anyone can continue to vote Democrat who knows the facts AND cares for liberty. Yes, it’s gotten this bad and perhaps the worst of it is is that the Republican Party, while still far preferable to the Democratic Party, is full of wusses, hangers-on, RINOs aplenty, et al. Not looking good and Trump, essentially a non-party man, is the best we have to preserve freedom and prosperity. He has faults but he stands head and shoulders above everyone else—and boy does he have guts. So proud I voted for him in 2016 and will do so again in 2020.

If the perfidy of this party of intolerance readily manipulates the American electorate, the Republic is in deep trouble.

Omar refusal to condemn Shariah law’s harsh punishment is good news. The majority of congressional democrats refusing to condemn antisemiticism is a good thing because it exposes them as supporting Muslims above all other groups.

So Omar dislikes what “white nationalism is doing to our country.” I wonder what her ‘brown Islamic nationalism’ would do? Would the Muslims have abolished slavery? Would they allow free speech and all the other freedoms in the Bill of Rights? Would they allow a mere woman like her to become a law-maker in a national parliament? After all, her beloved Prophet said, “Men have a degree over (women) [in responsibility and authority]. (Q2:228). And women have a “deficiency of mind.” (Sahih Bukhari 3:48:826).
The Daily Wire asked if Omar would be in favour of “death by stoning as a punishment for gay sex, amputation for those guilty of theft under sharia law, and whether Israel should be allowed to exist.” Why do they even need to ask such questions? Omar is a Muslim! If she didn’t agree with all that abhorrent behaviour, she’d be an apostate or a blasphemer – and she herself would be liable to stoning.
BTW, the Daily Wire should understand that it is not “radical Islam” that prescribes these atrocities, but ordinary, everyday, ‘orthodox Islam’ – as it is written in the Quran and the other scriptures, and the Sharia. It’s about time the media had the guts to correctly name our enemy. It’s all there in the scriptures stupid!
CogitoErgoSum says
That’s why I would like to know where I should look if not the Quran and the hadiths and the life of Muhammad for what she believes as a Muslim. Does she belong to some sect of Islam that does not accept the Islamic scriptures as the final word on things? Is there some document I can read that sets forth a new and current Islamic stance on homosexuality and what punishment is to be given for it? Why would her stance on homosexuality be any different from that of the Muslims in Brunei or anywhere else? What am I missing in my understanding, if anything?

As long as she is allowed to keep mouthing her tirades against Israel and the Republican party it’s fine with me. She is the best illustration of the twisted logic of the newly elected Muslims in our congress. Perhaps so much venom from just one Muslim will wake our leaders up.
Olli Hekkala says
From Daly Wire article also:
>Later on Thursday, Omar tweeted from her official Congressional Twitter account a condemnation of “conversion therapy.”
“Conversion ‘therapy’ can lead to: Depression, Self-hatred, Substance abuse, Homelessness, Suicidal behavior,” Omar tweeted. “Survivors have likened it to torture. It’s time to #DefundConversionTherapy.”<
It is interesting but not surprising to realize Islamic approach to questions of non Islamic challenges and ways to get rid of gay sex, Islamic supremacy.
WPM says
“Conversion therapy ” for gays in Islam is a one way trip off a 5 story fall off a roof top ,no homelessness, no self hate, no substance abuse , no suicide behavior only 4 seconds of pure terror as you fall to your death. Or to be crushed by a falling wall of stone ,or be beheaded or a combination of all three.

Spot on, WPM.
Olli Hekkala says
Exactly.
Jesus: “but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments.
.. You shall do no murder, You shall not commit adultery .. and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ” -Mathew 19: 17-19
duh swami says
Omar lived in a tent in Kenya for four years? She immigrated to the US, when? Is she naturalized? Is she a citizen at all?
I don’t know, I’m just asking…
gravenimage says
Omar became a naturalized US citizen at some point–even though she had to lie to the filthy Infidels to do it.
Francy Coe says
She has such a evil look on her face
Dano says
Of course she refuses to condemn these actions. She supports them.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Tariq Ramadan refused to condemn the stoning of women to death. Unlike Ramadan, however, Omar cannot even bring herself to calling for a moratorium on such killings until we hear what the “scholars” have to say. Even in depravity, it seems, there is a morality of sorts.
Anjuli Pandavar says
I’d better clarify that by “such killings”, I mean all Shari’a murder, including the killing of gays.
J D.S says
CONVERSION THERAPY???? as mentioned in above article….
Omar is the one who needs conversion therapy…conversion to Americanism, that is… to Christianity might be better for her and her position in politics also.l.p.
tedh754 says
She’s non-white, a woman and a Muslim. To the Dems she is the Trifecta of victimhood They will never do anything to rein her in.

“How about you? Have you compared the values and teaching of Islam with other belief systems or other governmental systems? What are your conclusions? Can you point out a post where RS is wrong in his analysis of Islam? For instance, the issue of lying seems to be stuck in your craw. Lying is clearly and explicitly against the teachings of Judaism and Christianity. What do you know about the teachings against lying found in Islam?”
There is plenty of evidence that Islam condemn lying – for example ““I enjoin you to be truthful, for truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man may continue to tell the truth and endeavour to be truthful until he is recorded with Allah as a speaker of truth. And beware of lying, for lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to Hell. A man may continue to tell lies and endeavour to tell lies, until he is recorded with Allah as a liar.”Al-Bukhaari (6094) and Muslim (2607) – OR – “There are four characteristics, whoever has them all is a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of them has one of the characteristics of hypocrisy, until he gives it up: when he is entrusted with something, he betrays that trust, when he speaks he lies, when he makes a covenant he betrays it, and when he disputes he resorts to obscene speech.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (34) and Muslim (58).
Second – there is an assumption among jihadwatchers that Christianity and Judaism are these wonderful doctrines devoid of all the horrible stuff which permeates Islam. This assumption goes unchallenged but it’s worth pointing out that things are much more nuanced. Lying is acceptable to save lives, promote peace etc.
http://rabbisacks.org/covenant-conversation-5769-vayechi-is-it-permitted-to-tell-a-white-lie/
Guess what I would do if I was a horrible anti-semite? I would now make the claim that Judaism authorizes lying.
gravenimage says
As if anyone has a problem here with a white lie to save an innocent person’s life–what rot.
And while lebel cites condemnation of lying in the Qur’an and Hadith, he purposely omits the following:
Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination.
–Qur’an 3:28
In other words, Muslims can pretend to be friendly with Infidels if it fits their motives.
Muslims can even swear untrue oaths to Infidels:
Allah has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths. And Allah is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise.
–Qur’an 66:2
Allah himself is described as being the best at deceit.
And what about the Hadith?
In Sahih Bukhari 52:269, Muhammed infamously said “War is deceit”.
Here is one of the most horrifying instances of Muslims being told they can lie:
Sahih Bukhari 50:369 recounts the murder of a poet, Ka’b bin al-Ashraf, at Muhammad’s insistence. The men who volunteered for the assassination used dishonesty to gain Ka’b’s trust, pretending that they had turned against Muhammad. This drew the victim out of his fortress, whereupon he was brutally slaughtered.
The general rule is that Muslims are supposed to be truthful to other pious Muslims, but can lie in order to get the better of Infidels–including murdering them.
Compendiums of Islamic law like the Reliance of the Traveller confirm this use of lying.
Olli Hekkala says
Lying in Judaism and Christianity:
God: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. ” Exodus 20:16
Jesus: “but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments. .. You shall not bear false witness, ” Matthew 19:17,18
I bet Muslims will break these commandments on their assumption that Jews and Christians corrupted their scriptures, if they will.
tim gallagher says
I suppose not all Muslims do believe in stoning gays to death, etc. But, whenever I read reports about Shariah law and stoning people to death for what we civilised people in the western world consider to be no crime at all, or cutting thieves hands off, etc, I always think how insane it is to actually let Muslims, who often do have such barbaric outlooks that they condone such sadistic punishments, into our countries. Such vile people can bring nothing positive to any civilised country. Imagine the mentality involved where, if you are going to execute a person, you actually decide on the most sadistic way imaginable of killing the person. You stone them to death. People who think such behaviour is OK are truly stone age, knuckle dragging Neanderthals. That the fans of multiculturalism can think that people who believe in such evil, sadistic garbage belong in civilised, western nations is beyond belief. We have to keep these primitive, sadistic creatures, who believe that it is OK to stone people to death, out. They certainly don’t belong in any modern society. They still inhabit the dark ages of mankind.
elee says
I think you just libelled the Neanderthals.
tim gallagher says
Good, witty comment, elee. And you are right. I apologise to the Neanderthals, ( well, to their memory as they are extinct). They never would have been anywhere near as sadistic as these truly revolting Muslims who go along with stoning people to death. Only some human beings can reach such depths of sadistic evil. It is what I used to think over and over about the ISIS mob and the atrocities they constantly committed.
