Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Fox Condemns Pirro for Asking if Omar is Pro-Sharia

Mar 14, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The fair and balanced network is now as unfair and unbalanced as the rest of them. My latest in FrontPage:

Breitbart reported Monday that the Fox News Channel “condemned host Jeanine Pirro’s remarks on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) use of a hijab and said the issue has been dealt with directly.” Sounds serious. But what Pirro actually said was something Fox should have been applauding, if it hadn’t already become just another establishment network.

Pirro said: “Think about this: She’s not getting this anti-Israel sentiment doctrine from the Democrat Party. So if it’s not rooted in the party, where is she getting it from? Think about it. Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

Predictably, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called on Fox to fire Pirro. Like a shark, CAIR can smell blood in the water: instead of defending Pirro for asking a perfectly legitimate question, Fox immediately reacted as if Pirro had stolen Barack Obama’s parking space, denouncing Pirro’s words with stern self-righteousness: “We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar. They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.”

Pirro, issued a clarification, to little effect: “I’ve seen a lot of comments about my opening statement from Saturday night’s show and I did not call Rep. Omar un-American. My intention was to ask a question and start a debate, but of course because one is Muslim does not mean you don’t support the Constitution. I invite Rep. Omar to come on my show any time to discuss all of the important issues facing America today.”

Fox is increasingly slipping into the Leftist echo chamber. It is terrified of discussing these issues. A few years ago, Jeanine Pirro contacted me and was going to have me as a featured guest on a special show about Sharia. She was very excited about it, and all the arrangements were made to fly me in and get me set up in the studio. Then at the last minute, everything was canceled — it was clear that Fox executives had told her she was venturing into forbidden territory. They willingly kowtow to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s defamation campaign targeting foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women and others. But last night, Pirro ventured off the reservation again, daring to suggest that Ilhan Omar’s hijab showed her to be Sharia-compliant.

There is so much confusion on this issue, even among people who should know better. Media critic John Nolte tweeted: “Does a Jewish man who covers his head put the Torah above the Constitution? Does a Catholic woman who covers head put the Pope above the Constitution? What a stupid thing to say.”

No in both cases, because in both cases the headwear in question is not part of a larger system that is incompatible with Constitutional rule. However, the hijab is part of such a system, and that’s all Pirro was saying. Fox should not have rebuked her, but this is the age of pandemic cowardice, so it was likely unrealistic to expect anything else.

Ilhan Omar herself, not surprisingly, was happier with Fox News than she has probably ever been, and tweeted: “Thank you, @FoxNews. No one’s commitment to our constitution should be questioned because of their faith or country of birth.”

But that wasn’t really what Pirro did. Pirro suggested that Omar’s anti-Semitism came from Sharia. And indeed, Sharia is indeed inveterately anti-Semitic: the Qur’an demonizes the Jews in numerous ways. It depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).

Sharia also mandates that women cover their heads:

“And tell the believing women to reduce their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.” (Qur’an 24:31)

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (Qur’an 33:59)

“Narrated `Aisha (the wife of the Prophet): `Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) “Let your wives be veiled” But he did not do so. The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to go out to answer the call of nature at night only at Al-Manasi.’ Once Sauda, the daughter of Zam`a went out and she was a tall woman. `Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her while he was in a gathering, and said, ‘I have recognized you, O Sauda!’ He (`Umar) said so as he was anxious for some Divine orders regarding the veil (the veiling of women.) So Allah revealed the Verse of veiling. (Al-Hijab; a complete body cover excluding the eyes).” (Bukhari 79.14.6420)

Wearing hijab is a sign that one accepts these imperatives. That is not necessarily true, as lots of women of all perspectives wear headscarves, but when a Muslim woman wears hijab, it’s reasonable to surmise that she accepts the Qur’an and Sunnah, the sources of Sharia. Sharia denies the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, the equality of rights of women, and the equality of rights of non-Muslims. Wearing hijab is a sign of adherence to Sharia.

So what did Judge Jeanine Pirro say that was wrong about Ilhan Omar? She asked questions that need to be asked. Fox should be apologizing to Pirro, not Omar.

    I have a hunch that condemning Pirro is going to reflect very badly on the Fox network in the days to come.

    Fox caved in…Pirro did not. Adherents to the network weren’t outraged by Pirro’s questions. THEY WERE PROVACATIVE AND IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR PETE’S SAKE!

    Fox should turn tail immediately and issue a statement of support for Pirro in an effort to save face and grow a spine. Otherwise, I expect the network will suffer a significant loss of loyal followers over this fiasco.

    And in the spirit of disclosure…never was a fan of Fox. That said, I have always respected their platform.

    I just resent that this was a big win for NPR, SPLC and other leftist organizations.

    Shame on Fox.

      It has a bad effect on anyone calling out the truth of what Islam is. And Spencer was just allowed to Speak it at a college but Now………. And it was EVEN what she said. Its like if anyone says ‘hijab’ its islamophobia. If any non Muslim says ‘Muslim’ or ‘Sharia’ or ‘Islam’ they are not allowed to talk. This has to be changed. As long as people speak ‘reasonably’ as Spencer does and some guy remarked his surprise (from what he had heard rumored is that Spencer is a raving hate fomenting inciter so his reasonability surprised him) & sticks to facts and Muslim Quotes…it must be allowed. It Must be told what they really are before anyone can even make an opinion or decision. Like in court, the facts must be presented.

    I was also surprised at Fox’s reaction. I heard Jeanine Pirro’s video and I did not find anything objectionable about it. This woman impresses me as a sort of intersctionality poster child for the left. She has a high score: black, female, refugee, Muslim, leftist. This gives her a privileged status in the deservingness hierarchy. And I saw a video of her questioning Elliot Abrams. She stuck her nose in a prepared text and read it aloud. She must not have known much about the issue, because she mispronounced Contra in Iran-Contra Affair. And also made errors in her English, such as saying farther instead of further. So I think someone thought it would make her invulnerable to insult a Reagan official from the fortress of intersectionality. I also doubt that she and the Muslim female representative from Michigan are very American. They were probably coached to claim that she believes in the Constitution or is a patriotic American. That is part of the deception encouraged by Islamic apologists. And generally complaining about Jewish lobbying. So what. The Muslims have many well-financed lobbying groups, and they have people in the government in many positions, including the ones Obama appointed. We can see their influence in the changed pro-Islamic practices of schools. If they believe in the Constitution, why are they making schools propagandists and indoctrination centers for Islam? Civil libertarians otherwise want to remove religion from schools and public places, at least Christian and Jewish religion. Obama also sent his helpers to fight Netanyahu in Israel, is that pro-muslim influencing or lobbying? Was that loyal to our Constitution or to our allies? Or Hillary with her Muslim advisor. Are these people also defenders of the Constitution? What in the world is Fox becoming. I used to think they were a conservative rock in the ocean of leftism, but now I am starting to wonder if they have been intimidated or bribed just like the other clapping seals like CNN and the NYT or WaPo.

    A few years ago, another politician in MN questioned omar’s campaign funds she had used for personal expenditures. Her answer to the charge was to first accuse the guy of using “taxpayer” money to ‘harass a moslim woman.’ She never actually answered his questions.

    FOX was wrong…and they likely know that. Just as pelosi was wrong not to name omar in a resolution condemning…what was to be anti-Semitism, and wound up being about the fake “phobia” of islam…and she knows it.

    omar is a part of cair. She is working for them. cair is working to overthrow the Constitution and install their lawless code of islam…which would mean no more free speech, no more freedom of worship other than what moslims do, and it would mean an installation of evil. They have to keep a lid on the speech about their intentions until they have a full number of people in the government that will allow them to come on out with it.
    If they intended to rob the bank by getting their members hired first and doing an inside job, they wouldn’t want anyone asking questions about their qualifications to work in a bank, be honest, count money, etc. They don’t want anyone questioning the “loyalty” of moslims they have planted in the government.

    The “no more free speech” is already being implemented…the Judge was basically told that she is no longer to question omar. The FOX people said they addressed it “directly” with her. If she had the freedom of speech to say so, she could tell us all what they said to her and whether they threatened her with job loss.

    Since omar was allowed to say anything she wishes about the Jews, Israel or anyone who shows support for their right to exist, for their right to protect themselves, for their right to do business, etc., she will do so again.

    However, no one will be allowed to say anything about islam, those who support it, those who are a part of it, even if true. If omar chooses to condemn Christianity or Christians, or any other religion, she will get a pass on that too.
    This will demonstrate how much ‘freedom of religion” remains in the U.S., along with the “freedom of speech.”

    It probably won’t be long before the Judge is fired from her job. She has never appeared to be one who would just remain silent when the truth needs to be told and questions asked. Perhaps she could find another platform to ask questions and speak the truth about islam, omar, tlaib, etc.

    Fox cultivated a very particular platform over the years…appealing to the conservative Republican American audience, voice and spirit.

    Had Pirro been offensive, rude, uncivil, and/or outrageous in her remarks regarding Omar, I would have been the first to cry foul. A newly-elected Muslim politician donning a hijab and making anti-sematic overtones gave me pause and it was refreshing to hear a seasoned legal authority give merit and credence to my concerns. Pirro wanted to inspire a debate…NEVER a bad thing.

    I’m especially despondent to learn that Pirro extended an invitation to Robert Spencer to appear on her program a few years back…and he was unceremoniously axed.

    Robert can’t go to the UK…or a Fox affiliate program.

    Ask a Jewish man why he wears a kippah and he will tell you it is to remind him of a higher authority above him. Ask a Catholic woman why she wears a head covering and she will tell you it’s not really a requirement but she does so out of a respect for a higher authority. But is a Muslim woman required to wear her head-covering out of respect for a higher authority? As Robert Spencer points out, look to the Muslim holy book and in Quran 33.59 you will find the answer. See this link for the various English translations of the verse:

    http://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=33&verse=59

    Please note the translations explain that women should cover their heads so that they will not be HARMED, ABUSED, ANNOYED, MOLESTED, HURT or GIVEN TROUBLE. The reason is not to remind them of a higher authority but to keep them safe from the Muslim men about them who have been given the right to treat a woman without a head-covering any way they please. Harming, abusing, annoying, molesting, hurting or giving trouble to women are actions that are not forbidden to Muslim men.

    No, a Jewish man does not cover his head to keep other Jews from attacking him and a Catholic woman does not cover her head to keep other Catholics from harming her. For them the reason is more of a spiritual nature and is between them and God. But the reason a Muslim woman covers her head has nothing to do with things of the spirit and everything to do with idea that Muslim men have the right to degrade and humiliate any woman who does not clearly show that she has submitted to Islam. It’s a way for Muslim men to know who they may prey upon and who they should punish for not being and acting like a true believer. It’s a way for them to determine which women they may safely take to gratify their sexual desires without accidentally harming a woman who is Muslim.

    Oh, it’s not the question that should be so disturbing to everyone; it’s the answer.

    • somehistory says

      Mar 14, 2019 at 4:14 pm

      CogitoErgoSum
      Indeed. The Bible doesn’t demand that women wear a headscarf, even though when writing to Christians, the Apostle Paul said they should when “praying” to show they recognized their “spiritual head.”

      A moslim female who doesn’t wish to be raped wears a scarf so the males will be aware she may have a moslim husband, father or brother and he is not free to rape her. If she leaves it at home, she may be raped without consequence to the rapist, and then her family will see a need to kill her for their lost “honor.”

      What moslim woman would wish to be raped and then murdered due to being raped? So they wear it.

      The woman omar isn’t likely to be raped and killed if she doesn’t wear it, but she is trying to get islam placed above the Constitution. She is attempting to make islam look “modest, supreme, special,” etc. and to “normalize it” for women in this country…moslim and not. She wants to make it “law” for all women and even little girls.

      • CogitoErgoSum says

        Mar 14, 2019 at 4:32 pm

        Yes, wearing the hijab is not about respecting God but rather about fearing the actions of men, actions (including rape) which the Muslim god, Allah, has clearly decided are not as bad as the sight of a woman with her head uncovered.

        • PRCS says

          Mar 14, 2019 at 7:39 pm

          Close, but more than that…

          To OUR Muslims’ chagrin, Islamic law applies only to Muslims, their dhimmis, and their slaves–and only where Islamic law is THE law.

          ““O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (Qur’an 33:59)”

          1. That they ‘be known” (i.e., so as to be known as ‘free, Muslim women’–where Islamic law is THE law–so as not to be confused with ‘unbelieving and slave women’).

          2. That they ‘not be abused’ (i.e., they not be abused [sexually assaulted] by Muslim men, by dhimmis or the slaves their right hands posses.

          Essentially, assault those whores. Not me.
          ———-
          This brainwashed young Utah Muslima said two things which the clueless (cowardly?) adults at the table either didn’t catch or chose not to challenge:

          1. Islam does NOT mean peace.
          2. The overt assertion (per the religion she loves) that “A woman who doesn’t wear the hijab is most likely to get sexual assault and abuse then a woman that does wear it because she covers up.”
          Does the ‘filthy whore’ at the end of the table realize that means her, too?

          Mar 14, 2019 at 10:27 pm

          PRCS, I have to wonder about your assertion that Muslim women had to fear being molested by dhimmis and slaves. Both Christianity and Judaism teach men to consider sexually assaulting a woman to be wrong no matter what. A man who held to his religion so strongly that he was willing to pay a burdensome tax and live as a third class citizen among Muslims would not be very likely to go against his beliefs and attack a Muslim woman. As for the slave, he would know that if he even looked at a Muslim woman the wrong way he would be in for some severe punishment at the very least. I think the Muslim women would have the most to fear from Muslim men … or the weak men who betrayed their religion and became Muslim. (And of course, any man who was not one of the People of the Book and refused to become a Muslim would have been killed and thereby would no longer pose any threat at all.)

          Yes, hijab’s message of ‘rape her, not me’ is directed by and large–though not exclusively–to Muslim men.
          I was surprised to read that some Muslim High School Girls believe hijab results in respect from non-Muslims–in Fort McMurray, Canada.
          As Diane Feinstein might say–the dogma is strong within them.

    … but of course because one is Muslim does not mean you don’t support the Constitution

    That’s where the judge has it wrong. Being a Moslem, and observant Moslem, by rule means they not only do not support the Constitution, they actively oppose it.

    But I saw that segment live, and was proud to see Mrs. Pirro take a step that no other news entertainer ever has that I know of.

    It’s no more offensive than asking a Republican if he is a capitalist. The people have a right to know if a Muslim candidate for political office supports that barbaric system of societal control.

    That there is any controversy regarding this perfectly appropriate question demonstrates the bizarre and dangerous accommodation being afforded to Muslims. 9/11 worked.

    Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Fox Condemns Pirro for Asking if Omar is Pro-Sharia

    Truth is the new hate speech, especially when telling the truth about islam. Non muslims can’t even quote the koran without it being called hate speech.

    • Rufolino says

      Mar 15, 2019 at 4:12 am

      Certainly true in the UK, where discussion of Islamic ideology is now impossible.

      Which means that Islam has successfully got the UK just where it wants it.

      It means she supports the Islamic State – which is no longer Syria but worldwide.

      Omar wants to eliminate the Constitution and replace it with the Quran.

      Fact.

    Pirro in her “clarification” asserted that she did not call Omar un-American. OK, but I want to be very clear that I personally am most definitely calling Omar un-American.

    No devout, informed Muslim can also be devoted to the American Constitution, per Article VI, as “the supreme Law of the Land.” Can’t be done. A sincere but confused Muslim might think this is possible (e.g. Zuhdi Jasser) but relying upon confused people, no matter what the cause, whatever the issue, is never an effective strategy.

    There, I have stated my case. A la Luther at Worms in 1521, here I stand, I can do no other.

    • Ashley says

      Mar 14, 2019 at 10:29 pm

      Bravo, Wellington.

      In my opinion, Pirro was smart not to open the “un-American” can of worms regarding Omar. The implications were clear, the interpretations open…

      Pirro did nothing wrong.

      I wish I could write like you…

      You and I have a serious issue…you like a good beer, I prefer a strong martini.

      Somehow, I think we’ll make it work.

      • Wellington says

        Mar 14, 2019 at 11:14 pm

        Well, Ashley, I kinda’, sorta’ like a vodka martini. Does this count?

        And I agree with you that Pirro did nothing wrong. She pushed the envelope about as far as she could the other night. Just because all steps in the right direction are not taken does not mean that one who “merely” takes some steps in the right direction, as Pirro did, should not be accorded approbation.

        Sorry for mixing my metaphors (envelope v. steps). Perhaps I need a beer—or a vodka martini.

          I drink a version of a cocktail which I call the Moslem Mule, and I drink it out of a bell.

          I try to have bells as accouterments as much as possible, knowing how Islam forbids them.

      Ergo, Brigitte Gabriel’s point in “RISE: In Defense of Judeo-Christian Values and Freedom”
      and the Constitutional defense aspect of issues which ACT for America stands by.

    “A Fox News online producer, Hufsa Kamal, criticized Pirro’s remarks on social media, writing: ‘@JudgeJeanine can you stop spreading this false narrative that somehow Muslims hate America or women who wear a hijab aren’t American enough? You have Muslims working at the same network you do, including myself. K thx.’ ”

    Note the classic straw man fallacy technique used by Kamal in falsely claiming that Pirro is attacking all Muslims when she was in fact rightly questioning the loyalty of Omar and the incompatibility of Islamic Sharia law with the US Constitution. Nowhere did she suggest that Muslims hate America or women wearing a hijab aren’t America enough.”

    Kamal owes Pirro an apology for purposely mischaracterizing her remarks to make her look like a bigot, which is simply a ploy to eventually get her off the air if she dares to cross the bogus line one more time no matter how benign or legitimate the crossing may be. Real questions and discussions about Islam must not be allowed so that the false “Islam is a Religion of Peace” narrative can be maintained.

    Kamal should also be disciplined by Fox and fired if she pulls such a stunt again, but since Fox continues to get wimpier by the day, Pirro will be the one crucified while Kamal will be praised.
    _______

    In Tucker’s show on 3/11/19, he praised Fox for always willing to stand up and never cave in to mob pressure, etc….which is exactly what Fox did in condemning Pirro’s legitimate remarks. Extremely disappointing.

    _______

    Hannity had Dershowitz and a so-called Islamic reformer on his show on 3/11/19. This was yet another disappointment as Hannity yet again referred to the fantasy Islam known as “radical Islam,” and Dershowitz and the “Islamic reformer” praised each other for somehow presenting what “good Islam” is really all about, and that Omar is an outlier and disgrace to Islam. Made me wanna puke since they were spouting utter garbage while patting each other on their backs for being more “enlightened” than others.

    Hannity also accepts the “terrorists have hijacked Islam” nonsense, and he has even spouted this while Robert has been a guest on his show, but Robert did not challenge him on this, perhaps wanting to get re-invited onto his show. Hopefully Robert will now be more direct if he gets back onto the show in the future, and if Hannity spouts his “hijacking” nonsense, Robert will directly challenge and educate him. It certainly appears that Robert has had enough of their nonsense, so he probably won’t get invited back onto the increasingly PC network, but if he does, I hope he does indeed educate the host, guests, and TV audience without pulling any more punches.

      You speak of Raheel Raza being along side Alan Dershowitz.

      They fall all over themselves regarding Muslim Reform possibilities….

      Meanwhile, there is this film with some commentators making points:

      “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” (2005) – documentary

      Nonie Darwish, Alan M. Dershowitz, Steve Emerson, Brigitte Gabriel. …

    It is a disgusting shame that Fox News the ONLY reasonable news source inflicted with this press virus ‘treason’. They must know that Islam/Muslims are our #1 vicious enemy. It is too bad that the trend of our intellect is going down the drain. Where is the TRUTH which our nation was adhering to?!

    we all know Islam is only a political ideology which invades every cell of the body, spirit, and soul with pure hate based on ‘honor’ for women. guess men do not have to have honor also and some muslim men prove it daily (rampant rape, honor killings, torture of children, etc). if this isn’t stupid I don’t know what is.

    islam is pure hate; only mission is to take down America. Thank the good Lord we have President Trump who sees through the BS; unlike obama who gave the muslims a free hand to do any damned thing they want without any repercussion. and now they are very deeply embedded in our government; very unfortunate for the country.

    abolish the deep state; those committing treason need to be removed.

    Fox screwed up on this one. Who owns Fox now? I am ashamed that they did not stand up for Judge Pirro; BIG MISTAKE. BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG
