Tennessee District Attorney Craig Northcott is facing a barrage of criticism, not only from the usual cry-wolf suspect, CAIR, but also from his own Republican camp after rather controversial comments about Islam…..
Northcott’s comments appeared last month on a Facebook thread started by Daniel Berry, the chairman of Coffee County’s Young Republicans organization….Berry, who is running for local office, asked his followers if it is ever acceptable to stereotype an entire group and said it is not OK to stereotype Muslims based on the actions of a few extremists….
Northcott jumped in to claim that Islam is not a legitimate religion and that being a Muslim is no different than “being part of the KKK, Aryan Nation, etc.” He said that every Muslim “by definition” supports an “evil belief system whether they understand/act on it or not.”
He also brought up his beliefs about the U.S. Constitution.
“There are no constitutional rights. There are God given rights protected by the constitution. If you don’t believe in the one true God, there is nothing to protect.
“Tennessee Official Refuses To Apologize For Anti-Muslim Comments”, by Carol Kuruvilla, Huffington Post, May 21, 2019:
A Tennessee district attorney is refusing to apologize after Muslim leaders rebuked him for sharing virulently Islamophobic beliefs in a series of social media posts.
Muslim advocacy groups are calling on Coffee County District Attorney Craig Northcott to resign after they learned of statements he made on Facebook in mid-April painting Islam and all Muslims as inherently “evil” and “violent.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations called Northcott “clearly unfit” to serve as a district attorney.
“Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in the administration of justice in Tennessee or anywhere in America,” CAIR’s government affairs director, Robert S. McCaw, said on Friday.
The Nashville-based American Muslim Advisory Council told HuffPost that Northcott’s statements compromise his ability to execute his duties in a “fair and just manner.”
“When you perpetuate stereotypes and vilify another group of people, that’s not legitimate criticism, it is hate speech,” AMAC’s middle Tennessee program manager, Sabina Mohyuddin, said in a statement. “It is exactly this kind of hate speech against Muslims by elected officials that [leads] to bullying in schools, discrimination, and hate crimes.”
Despite the backlash he’s received over the social media posts, Northcott dug in his heels on Saturday, telling his Facebook followers, “I am not resigning.”
“If they figured I would apologize for calling hate in any form evil, they miscalculated,” he wrote. “If they expect me to denounce my faith because of their tactics, they are going to be disappointed.”
Northcott’s comments appeared last month on a Facebook thread started by Daniel Berry, the chairman of Coffee County’s Young Republicans organization. The independent Tennessee news website TN Holler published screenshots last Thursday of the conversation between Berry and Northcott after it was no longer publicly available online (Berry has since made the conversation public).
Berry, who is running for local office, asked his followers if it is ever acceptable to stereotype an entire group and said it is not OK to stereotype Muslims based on the actions of a few extremists.
Northcott jumped in to claim that Islam is not a legitimate religion and that being a Muslim is no different than “being part of the KKK, Aryan Nation, etc.” He said that every Muslim “by definition” supports an “evil belief system whether they understand/act on it or not.”
He also brought up his beliefs about the U.S. Constitution.
“There are no constitutional rights. There are God given rights protected by the constitution. If you don’t believe in the one true God, there is nothing to protect. No one other than God has given us any rights,” Northcott reportedly wrote.
Berry pushed back, saying that as an elected official, Northcott is supposed to represent everyone in his district regardless of their religious beliefs. In response, Northcott argued that he defends freedom of religion even for “those who reject the Truth of God’s Word.” But he added that there are “limits to the exercise of this right” and again suggested that Islam is inherently violent.
Muslim leaders were particularly troubled by Northcott’s line of thinking, which they say implies that Muslims don’t have constitutional rights…..
Kilauea says
Republicans that do not vigorousy stand behind this man should be voted out of office in their next primary election. It doesn’t matter what Muslims think. They want to destroy our country and its legal system. Islam should be banned in the United States because it is fomenting a violent overthrow of the government.
mortimer says
DEFINITION OF ISLAM:
Islam is an INTOLERANT, misogynistic, Bronze-Age DEATH CULT combined with Arab racism and a totalitarian, dictatorial political system. Militant, political Islam is not a cancerous mutation of true Islam, but the very contrary! Political Islam is the purest expression of Islam’s nature as an imperialistic religion which demands unmitigated obedience from its followers and regards all infidels as both inferior and avowed enemies.
Islamic sage Ibn Khaldun wrote: “In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the [Islamic] mission and [the obligation to] convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or BY FORCE … Islam is under obligation to gain POWER OVER other nations.” (Ibn Khaldun, d.1406)
District Attorney Craig Northcott should quote Ibn Khaldun and ask his critics to explain what Ibn Khaldun means.

*Mortimer, bronze age 3000-1200 BC.
*Death of Muhammad June of 623AD
*644-656 AD compilation of Quran.
*Islam is NOT a “Bronze Age” cult.
*Mohammad did NOT write the Quran, in fact, he was illiterate.
*The Quran was written centuries after the compilation of the Christian Bible.
**Allah is NOT GOD!**
Davegreybeard says
Julie, my sources say Muhammad died in 632AD.
CRUSADER says
Accurate points to point out, Julie.
Since, supposedly, Islam is from the “origin” of time….
and since the Bronze Age includes the “Time of Ignorance”
(Jahiliyyah) — Muzzies can make all sorts of excuses….
Problem is that Mohamhead died in 632 (year of Christ our Lord)…
….REALLY WISH that Mo died in 623AD — could’ve headed off much!
But the Devil has his due…. And people have their free will…
Did you get your facts about the dates of compilation from Robert Spencer’s work on the matter, by any chance?
But, at least it is so that Islam is Misogynistic and Intolerant.
And, certainly it is a CULT no matter how it gets diced.
Indeed, the modern slant of Islam (political islam) as the Muslim
Brotherhood would have it, and as Nazism infused and Soviets influenced
Islam’s propagandizing…. contributed a contemporary fuel added to Islam.
Salafists are more the stalwart supporters of the traditional Islam.
Islamists are traditional Salafists on steroids — matched to modernist methods.
Wellington says
I’ll see you and raise you, CRUSADER, to wit, I wish Mohammed would have perished c. 610 A.D. and then his horrible ideas would not have even circulated during his “Mecca stage.”
Good to snuff out iniquity and falsehood from the get-go I say. Optimal that way.
Naildriver says
Mortimer is well aware of Islam’s historical dates. His meaning in part is that Islam is primitive and ignorant — in so many ways that it hardly deserves to be included among post Roman states, particularly given its militancy and irrational fanaticism from the git go, even with Christianity already present.
Mohammed, or his minions scripted Islam from the older more barbaric interpretations from the OT and meshed it with the moon god, and other silly cults along with Mohammed’s personal lusts and cruelties, extant among nomadic Arabs. And BTW Julie you’d find most Mortimer’s comments very well researched and accurate, particularly regarding Islam’s structure and meaning to Muslims — that often escapes people as yourself.

Finally, a politician really telling it how it is!
Coffee County is named after Colonel Coffee:
Coffee led his brigade, which included free blacks and Native American warriors from allied Southeast tribes, at the 1814-15 Battle of New Orleans. They played a key role in holding the woods to the east of the British column. Coffee’s brigade was the first to engage the British, by firing from behind the trees and brush.
Andrew Jackson chose Coffee as his advance commander in the Creek War (concurrent with the War of 1812), during which he commanded mostly state militia and allied Native Americans. Under Jackson, Coffee led his brigade at the Battle of Tallushatchee, the Battle of Talladega, and the Battles of Emuckfaw and Enotachopo Creek, where he was seriously wounded; and at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. At the latter, the allied forces conclusively defeated the Red Sticks, traditionalists of the Creek Nation who were allied with the British.
DAVID CROCKETT — who served under Colonel Coffee —
later joined up with his Tennessee Volunteers to defend The Alamo !
J D.S says
Yes Crusader…wouldn’t it be wonderful if those in congress would really admIT what Islam is
I kinda feel sure that many there do think Islam and it’s adherents is just what this Tennessee patriot says it is but because of FEAR, a tool Muslims have used since ten beginning if Islam, they won’t say anything.
Muslims have used these three things to hold Islam in place these many centuries, FORCE, FEAR and the APOSTATE LAW. At the present time FEAR is working to keep people’s mouth shut. Just plain sickening!
Jason says
We should all stand by this man. Particularly, anyone in his constituency should contact him and give him your support. Even if you don’t agree with everything he says, his willingness to stand by his convictions and refuse to bow to pressure to ‘apologize’ should be applauded and encouraged.
na says
In the UK children prayed outside of a school(Maybe other children complained). Muslim authority complained about that incident. They are not satisfied.
mortimer says
Muslims will not even be satisfied if the Church of England is disestablished, Sharia law implemented universally and Islam made the official religion of UK. They will then turn on one another and cannibalize fellow Muslims as they do in Muslim countries. The bishops of England should be studying how to convert Muslims to their church.
Greg Taylor says
Yes, they would indeed turn on each other, and with even greater ire than afore; for they would discover that the worldly victory of Islam is not satisfying to the soul, brings not the promised peace of mind.
True victory is to overcome the evil inside oneself, for that is the only evil that truly exists. All else is projection.
BarbNak says
Everything he said is true…why should he apologize? And for the other Republicans..grow a spine, stand up for the principles and values upon which our Country was founded.
Carolyne says
I am proud to be from Tennessee and proud that we have a public official who understands the true nature of Islam and has the courage to publicly state it.
mortimer says
DOUBLE STANDARDS !!! It’s rich when Muslims claim that the ‘others’ are bigots. In fact, Islam is the RELIGION OF BIGOTRY.
Islam has an essential teaching of APARTHEID called “AL WALAA WAL BARAA” in Arabic.
‘AL BARAA’ means “ESTRANGEMENT” or “CLEANSING” (from kafirs).
‘Baraa’ is HATRED directed towards Kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’…Al Bughoud or Al Mu’adaat (hatred) is the opposite of Al Muwalaat (love towards Muslims). Baraa is:
– To Hate
– To keep distance from
– To be enemy to
– To desert
– To decline to help
– To disrespect
– To put down
– Not to ally with
– Not to support
Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk.
-Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.
WHO ARE THE REAL BIGOTS HERE?

Terry Gain says
Northcott jumped in to claim that Islam is not a legitimate religion and that being a Muslim is no different than “being part of the KKK, Aryan Nation, etc.” He said that every Muslim “by definition” supports an “evil belief system whether they understand/act on it or not.”
……………..
This is the plain unvarnished truth. Every Muslim is an adherent of a supremacist, totalitarian, conquest ideology.
CAIR should apologize for Islam’s xenophobia and doctrine and history of supremacism, totalitarianism, conquest and deceit.
mortimer says
Response to TG: Islam is the DUCK-BILLED PLATYPUS of religions … Islam’s source texts are 51% about politics, much of the rest is about Mohammed, but only 18% is about Allah.
The Arabic word that describes Islam is ‘DEEN’. The ORIGINAL meaning of DEEN is close to what we mean by ‘a system of governance’. A ‘deen’ is a way of RULING ALL SOCIETY. A deen is predominantly political but draws its legitimacy from a revelation claimed by a 7th-century Arab pirate who suffered with temporal lobe epilepsy.
Terry Gain says
Mortimer
The stuff about Allah is pure evil. ” Kill infidels and I will reward you with a carnal paradise”.
This is satanic. It is the opposite of a legitimate religion.
mortimer says
District Attorney Craig Northcott tried to express a true thought, but it came out badly or he was misquoted. He should have said that the US constitution recognizes ‘NATURAL RIGHTS’ which come from the God of Nature as the US founding fathers saw the Deity. Our rights and freedoms are not “GRANTED” or “GIVEN” to us by a mere constitution, but they are PRE-EXISTING as a condition of the natural equality of every human being under Heaven. God’s rain falls on all. If he had said something more like that, it would have been more orthodox and acceptable. Indeed, I agree with him that Islam doesn’t recognize ‘NATURAL RIGHTS’. To the contrary, ‘Allah’ is whimsical and capricious. ‘Allah’ is flippant and changes his mind as it suits him. ‘Allah’ is the best of deceivers and seems to enjoy pranking and tricking people into hell for his entertainment. No one knows ‘Allah’s’ rules, because he is capricious.
Islam is a reflection of this utterly changeable, capricious and unknowable god who tells Arabs to rule the earth to establish the unequal double standards of Allah’s duplicitous Sharia law.
James Lincoln says
mortimer,
Excellent analysis regarding the rights recognized by the U.S. Constitution. The Natural Rights do, indeed, come from “the God of Nature as the US founding fathers saw the Deity.”
Tennessee District Attorney Craig Northcott also claims that Islam is not a “legitimate” religion. From everything I have read, Islam is a “legitimate” religion. I wish that it were not.
As I understand it, there are good religions and bad religions. And Islam is as bad as it gets.
Other than those fine points, I agree with everything that Mr. Northcott said.
grego says
Good for Craig Northcott. More power to him.

>“Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in the administration of justice in Tennessee or anywhere in America,” CAIR’s government affairs director, Robert S. McCaw, said on Friday.<
Hmm…and holier than thou CAIR, how about the anti-kafir bigotry spewed out by Muslims and their leaders in mosques?? Do these have place in Tennessee or anywhere in America? I am sure CAIR won't answer this!!
Terry Gain says
CAIR undermines the U.S. Constitution and has no business in America.
Wellington says
I agree but many other organizations or ideologies in America are enemies of the Constitution and undermine it to the extent that they can. Some that come to mind are the KKK, Neo-Nazism, the Aryan Nation, the Communist Party of America, the Nation of Islam and Antifa. What do you want to do with them as well as CAIR?
Saying CAIR “has no business in America” in itself is not enough. What’s your “follow-up?”
I’ll say this too: Right now I know of no ideology that undermines the Constitution as extensively as Islam does with the sole exception of Leftism, which I see as Enemy #1 of the Constitution with Islam coming in at #2. Most unfortunately, one of the two major political parties in America, the Democratic Party, is moving continually and inexorably in a Leftist direction and this I find profoundly disturbing.
Terry Gain says
My solution is to ban further Muslim immigration. Conquest is not a constitutional right.
Wellington says
Terry: With you here. Would very much like to see further Muslim immigration halted to America and all Western nations but this can only happen if Islam is first very publicly looked upon as a giant negative. Just as Western nations can ban skinheads, Neo-Nazis, hard-core Marxists, (Satanists too and with some nations Scientologists as well), etc., so should Muslims be banned but this will not happen, cannot happen, unless Islam is treated almost universally in a Western society as iniquitous. Even assuming it is not a religion—your take—as long as Islam is looked upon as a positive and faux distinctions are made between “Islam” and “Islamism,” “Islam” and “radical Islam,” etc., you can forget about cessation of further Muslim immigration to the West.
First things first, irrespective of Islam being a religion, and that is that it must be seen in the negative. Can’t proceed to any step 2 if this step 1 is not achieved. Here I think again we should have no disagreement.
Demsci says
Ever the realist, Wellington. I know you are right. My comments are meant as adding thought. A purpose of ABI; Anything But Islam is OK, but only negative. For the longest time I rack my brain what positive goal is the opposite of Islam. And so far I come up with the Democratic system with all its laws, tenets, values. Like Golden Rule and more.
With a positive goal, Islam can be seen as obstacle. Or as something obsolete. It can also be argued that even “non-Islamist, moderate, innocent” Muslims cannot really be truly democratic people, or if they can, they still cannot be trusted as such, and their choice to cling to Islam can still be used to refuse them. Sorry, harsh world. In Islamic countries they often do the same or worse in the other direction.
Perhaps first in countries like Hungary, Czechia, Austria one day a small majority will decide that democratic nations are not Islamic nations, and Islamic nations are not Democratic nations. And that the same goes for persons. And being a democratic person or an Islamic one is a choice. So then, if at all possible let Democratic persons populate democratic nations, and Islamic persons Islamic Nations. Or so is the endgame.
To begin with; a person who chooses for Islam, cannot then enter a democratic nation. And for all we care, so also a person who chooses for Democratic nation, cannot enter an Islamic nation. So we have reciprocity, something we now lack so severely.
CRUSADER says
Marxism needs banning.
CRUSADER says
Did you catch the DOUBLE ENTENDRE in that above?
James Lincoln says
Wellington says,
“First things first, irrespective of Islam being a religion, is that it must be seen in the negative.”
If one looks that Islam totally objectively, studies it with due diligence, and uses evidence-based logic – it is impossible to come to any other conclusion than that Islam is a NEGATIVE.
The problem is that the average person in a Western society is:
–Not motivated to take the time to study Islam from truthful objective sources.
–Bombarded with endless propaganda from Muslim brotherhood front groups, leftist mainstream media, leftist politicians, leftist organizations like SPLC, etc.
This is going to be an uphill climb – with a 60 pound pack…

“Every Muslim supports an “evil belief system whether they understand/act on it or not.”. Very well said.
There are Muslims who are not violent but they believe that Islam is inherently good and Mo was the best man on earth. It is the result of indoctrination since childhood. They refuse to believe that there is another side of Islam which is evil and dark and remain clueless for the rest of their life.
Joe says
Every “moderate” Muslim will support Northcott’s right to his own opinion. So far, no Muslim deserves to be called “moderate”. They must all be terrorists.
Wellington says
I admire this Tennessee DA but I take issue with him on one point, to wit, his contention that “There are no constitutional rights. There are God given rights protected by the Constitution. If you don’t believe in the one true God there is nothing to protect.”
This seems to me to smack a bit of what, ironically, can be found in Islam which is that religion and the political realm are inextricably mixed. Hmmm. What about agnostics, atheists, Hindus who believe in many deities, et al.? They don’t believe in the “one true God” and so what about the “protection element” here?
Sorry, but I think there ARE constitutional rights and while I fully acknowledge that the Judeo-Christian tradition played a role in the making of the Constitution, as did principles from ancient Greece and Rome, this does not translate for me into there only being “God given rights.” I don’t mean to be picky here, “merely” accurate to the best of my ability.

Flushing colonist held a Quaker meeting in his home, and he was fined and banished. Flushing citizens protested, and in 1657 they wrote a demand for religious freedom that is today known as the Flushing Remonstrance.
Keys says
Agree, Wellington.
It is ironic, indeed, that his statement that you quoted is what Muslims would use to justify Sharia law being the only law because it is from God. They would say the US Constitution and all laws flowing from it are “man-made” and, therefore, do not apply to them. Sharia, God’s law, is the true law and must be imposed upon all men.
Where we may disagree ( I say ‘may’ because you have said you are unsure of God’s existence), Wellington, is the origin and justification for these rights. I agree (as no doubt in my mind you do) with the second paragraph of the US Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.– That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed … “
It seems to me that without that basis, the “might makes right” type of “government” will trump all others, because who says that anyone should be entitled to life and liberty ? Right now it is those in power, and they disagree on what that means.
What justifies a democracy ? Just because there may be less chaos and more fairness, if people try to get along in a democracy, that does not make it the best or a necessary government. There will always be the powerful and less powerful. So why, in the mind of someone powerful, opt for less chaos and more fairness, if power can be had without fairness, thereby having less chaos (Allah’s Peace by Sharia) ?
Plato thought a Philosopher-King type government would be better than a democracy, provided his rule be based on the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. Good luck finding that man.
Mohammad made up Allah for his justification to rule. Allah’s might makes right even if it is not good in our eyes. Further, even though all men are created equal because they are created muslim, they do not have equal rights, because some are infidels – fallen from faith in Allah.
Anyway, just some thoughts – it’d be better to have a beer and discuss with you, rather than tedious typing.

*** Must the Moral Law Have a Lawgiver? ***
Article By Ravi Zacharias Ministries, John M. Njoroge
Atheists don’t believe we need God to understand what is right and wrong. Yet Christians point to a moral law that is written on our hearts by God, and our conscience testifies either for us or against us with regard to morality.

Crusader, thank you for your posts here and the links.

CRUSADER says
Please see much of the following…..
Wellington says
Keys: Thanks for your reply. Well, I’m reminded here of what that old skeptic, Voltaire, said, and that is that if God does not exist we’ll have to invent Him. I think mankind as a whole is much better off supposing there is a higher power and that this is where concepts of good and evil come from and what gives purpose to our lives. Of course, the Judeo-Christisan conception of the deity is far superior, and with its attendant ethics, than the Islamic conception of the deity, which I look upon as a perverted rip-off of the Judeo-Chirstian conception of God.
Of course, A Higher Power may not exist, I have to consider this possibility, in which case man has engaged in an elaborate but important self-deception supposing one does. I do think using reason alone a proper ethical system can be devised (and infuse documents like the Constitution) but I believe this is best kept to a minority of people. With Islam the exception to the rule, I agree with another skeptic, Ben Franklin, that if man is bad with religion, imagine what he’d be without it.
God created man or the other way around. These are really the only two possibilities. And no one can know for certain which one of these two options is the correct one. One can fervently believe in one of these two options, but this isn’t knowledge but rather faith. Indeed, if one could know that God exists, what would be the point of faith since faith, as I have written before here at JW, somewhere deep down implies a modicum of doubt.
Good to have this back and forth with you. Take care.
Keys says
Thank you, Wellington. Always appreciate your well expressed thoughts.
All the best to you.

*** The Greatest Challenge ***
Article By Ravi Zacharias Ministries, Os Guinness
( Taken from “Impossible People” by Os Guinness. )
If anyone were to tell most congregations in the West that the modern church is facing the greatest challenge the church has ever encountered, chances are that he or she would be met with puzzled looks. Like an undiagnosed cancer, the nature and source of the danger we face is not on the minds of most Western Christians.
How on earth, it is often asked, could German Christians have caved in so weakly to the allure and coercions of National Socialism in the 1930s? The answer is plain: All too easily, if you understand the temper of the times in which they lived. Just so, many Western Christians are caving in weakly before the challenges of our own times, whether through the general seductions and distortions of advanced modernity, the tempting thinking behind the sexual revolution or a failure to understand the significance of the hour and appreciate the implacable hostility of some of the forces against us—and so blunting our witness and betraying the lordship and authority of Jesus. And all this at a time when momentous events across the world are running at a floodtide.
The present stage of history and the character of the advanced modern world have combined to throw down a gauntlet before the church in the West that is as decisive as Rome’s demand that Christians offer incense to Caesar as lord. As we shall see, the challenge to the Western church is subtle but unprecedented in its scale, and it must be answered with a courageous no to everything that contradicts the call of our Lord—whatever the cost and whatever the outcome. Is Jesus Lord, or are the forces of advanced modernity lord? The church that cannot say no to all that contradicts its Lord is a church that is well down the road to cultural defeat and captivity. But the courage to say no has to be followed by an equally clear, courageous and constructive yes—to the Lord himself, to his gospel and his vision of life, humanity and the future, so that Christians can be seen to live differently and to live better in the world of today.
Christians in the West are living in a grand clarifying moment. The gap between Christians and the wider culture is widening, and many formerly nominal Christians are becoming “religious nones.” In many ways we are in the Thursday evening of Holy Week. The cock has not yet crowed, but the angry crowd who would like to see the end of our Lord in the Western world has already seen and heard enough of our early betrayals to believe that it can count on more, and harry us toward ignominious surrender. So this is no time for cowards, for fence sitters or for those who wish to hedge their bets until they hear the judge’s verdict on the contest.
We face a solemn hour for humanity at large and a momentous showdown for the Western church. At stake is the attempted completion of the centuries-long assault on the Jewish and Christian faiths and their replacement by progressive secularism as the defining faith of the West and the ideology said to be the best suited to the conditions of advanced modernity. The gathering crisis is therefore about nothing less than a struggle for the soul of the West and the place of faith—any faith—in the life of advanced modern societies. The crisis can be expressed in terms of the interplay of four sets of challenges.

If there is such a thing as Evil. there is such a thing as Good…
Ravi Zacharias explains….question of the Moral Law….
What of the Moral Law GIVER ?
(minute marker 09:00 is crucial)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRRuKDXT7Kg
Demsci says
“Berry, who is running for local office, asked his followers if it is ever acceptable to stereotype an entire group and said it is not OK to stereotype Muslims based on the actions of a few extremists.”
There it is again, the almost eternal reaction to criticism on Islam, the ideology, and its sacred texts and tenets and the declarations and actions of its followers.
Do not Stereotype a whole group of people/ do not paint all Muslims with the same (black) brush, consider Muslims innocent until proven guilty”. If you do that you are an irredeemable Islamophobe” Is is like a holy mantra, a real discussion stopper.
This was what Ben Affleck was doing in 2014 in his discussion with Sam Harris, Bill Maher. this is ingrained in perhaps 90 % of the Western population and consequently this is the most common reaction when someone criticizes the anti-democratic anti human rights, lacking Golden Rule etc elements of Islam’s sacred texts and many leaders and followers in the Islamic world.
and keep in mind that this Daniel Berry is a REPUBLICAN. And he really is expressing the mainstream view, a view even supported by the decision makers of Fox News. It even seems to me that Pres. Trump would echo the view of Daniel Berry and not that of Craig Northcott. Fox News and many republicans seem perfectly willing to divide Muslims in the radical and moderate divide.
It seems to me that this is the lay of the land in almost all the Democratic countries.
One response might be to double down on the position that Muslims cannot realistically divided in radical and moderate.
Another response might be to adapt to this all pervasive accepted division, out of pragmatic reasons. And respond with: OK, if we do not paint all Muslims with the same black brush, will you (75-90 % of discussion partners) at least not resort to painting all Muslims with the same white brush???
Because by now it cannot be denied that the so called radicals very validly and logically interpret Islam’s sacred texts in a very bad way for us and our democratic constitutions and laws, and that they can reasonably said to be disloyal to these laws, putting “Divine law” over and above “national laws”.
That being the case and also that no one can distincquish between the pragmatically accepted harmless “moderates” and the very worrisome radicals, which makes letting Muslims in a big bad gamble,
and furthermore considering religion a choice, not an accident of birth, can we hold Muslims accountable? And can we discriminate against them “who choose to cling to Islam” in at least the way that we control and monitor them more than followers of other religions, atheists? And can we stop them from immigration more than the other sorts of immigrants? Saying that there should be also a division between those loyal to Islamic states and those loyal to Democratic states? This seems so logical, so reasonable, and quite respectful for people;s choices.
And accommodating to this eternal call “not to stereotype”.

Agreed. For my money it is the most successful evil religion ever created by man and is a burden to all mankind, especially that portion of mankind which lives in freedom, which Islam is a mortal enemy of.

Here’s the real truth…”religion” is man’s way of reconciling man to God, and it has a 100% failure rate, but Christianity is GOD’s way of reconciling God to Man, and it works every time.

How is it possible for a conquest ideology to be a legitimate religion? As you well know Islam is opposed to fundamental American values of freedom of speech, freedom of religion and equality of citizenship.

I have just reealised thaty all muslims are bigots. Definition of Bigot: a person who has strong, unreasonable beliefs and who does not like other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life.

Demsci,
Your comment – eternal call not to stereotype is so true. By the same logic a large chunk of Muslim population “escape” through back door and are not having to face the heat or are not answerable to ANYONE.
The Shariah seeking Muslims are huge in numbers and Islamic supremacists, who believe Islam is supreme coupled with all kinds of lies smeared on Christianity form a sizable Muslim population. The world is being deceived. here by a vast majority of Muslims.
Demsci says
Thanks Raja.
And then the Islam apologists almost always “Stereotype Muslims with a white brush”. Suggesting that the “peaceful harmless form of Islam” is the only true one. Never stipulating that at least this is a version just as much as the ISIS-version. Not the only true one.

Flag Day in USA is June 14th….
In solidarity, fly the American flag proudly!!!

“It’s not coming down!”
https://www.foxnews.com/us/north-carolina-files-lawsuit-rv-company-american-flag
Does that star-spangled banner yet wave? If it’s over Camping World and Gander RV in Statesville, N.C., you better believe it.
In fact, it’s only a question because the North Carolina city is locked in a letter-of-the-law battle with the RV company, which proudly — and defiantly — flies its massive 40×80-foot American flag.
“The property that’s there belong to us, we pay taxes and the size of the flag isn’t hurting anybody,” Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis told WJZY.
The city of Statesville filed a lawsuit against Camping World, located along Interstate 77, because the flag the company flies outside is in violation of a city ordinance.
The city of Statesville said they approved a permit for Camping World to fly a flag — just not as big as the one Camping World unfurled.
Lemonis said the city’s attempts to get him to take down the flag is nothing more than “bureaucrats trying to control the size of something.”
A petition the businessman created as “a good way for elected leaders to see how people actually feel” had more than 140,000 signatures on Wednesday — nearly all the way to a 150,000-signature goal.
“This is about more than just the flag,” the petition states. “This is about our Veterans, Military, and the men and women that have sacrificed for this great country. They are the reason we fly the flag and they are the reason we will NOT take it down!”
While Camping World preaches patriotism, Statesville is trying to hit Lemonis where it hurts: the wallet. Statesville is now trying to fine the RV company $50 each day the flag is flying outside of city ordinance — retroactive to October.
“I don’t care if it goes to $500 a day,” Lemonis told WSOC-TV. “It’s not coming down!”

There is no constitutional right for sedition…some may think it is covered by freedom of religion or freedom of speech, however when you read the goals of the MB. (some muslim political operatives deny it existence )…it is clever and deceptive but when you read that their documents the Explanatory Memorandum, a strategy document to destroy western civilization their hands and the hands of the believers by mass population migration of Islamic jihadists and political operatives to settle, build mosques, put on a fake tolerant face but plot and plan to organize for political power ( they are succeeding) thru deception. The goal is to replace our rights with the laws of Islam, sharia law to have control and destroy our Constitution.They have a plan, first to say there is no islamic terror but if you read the Q book that is the genisis, after building mosques they invite clueless citizens, however they found our youth first and targeted Christianity and aided the destruction of our culture, student associations to influence, align with the left marxists, news corp stock investments to silence accurate media thru misinformation, marketing organizations,foreign money, sharia law organizations to criminalize accurate speech, deny the goal of jihad. What do we see, repeated victimization with cries of islamophobia to misdirect attention by complaints, false interpretation of words such as jihad, and silencing speech accurate about Islam and the obligation of warfare and most seriously started as the second target our national security and border patrol, with credentials for jobs in government, used as advisers to our national security they are obligated to deceive, Presidents, politicians and the main objective was to have a misinformation campaign about nature of Islam. The plan was the glory of diversity to wave Islamic sharia over the U.S. Constitution and look pretty but denying U.S. freedom, and the methods include persuasive terror attacks to soften our resolve. But there is a light of truth that is bubbling to the surface, we must support and stop the constant flow to invade it is a attempt at warfare to conquest, following their sura’s of the Quran in my opinion.
Releasing jihadist to our towns is extremely ignorant.

Without getting into all the sticky controversialities with this one, I will just say this…
If you made a comment, and you stand behind it, you should never relent of it, take it back, or apologize for saying it. Why should you? Has the truth changed? No. Usually it’s just yellow spined reactions to the consequences that they were not prepared for. In cases of the faith, that is why Jesus said to ‘count the cost’ and be prepared to suffer persecution for our declarations. Taking them back is recanting and cowardly.

eduardo odraude says
That captures the essence of Islam and Muslims in a nutshell: 1) Islam is a totalitarian, evil belief system; 2) even though many Muslims don’t understand or act on Islamic teachings and are quite unaware of the content and therefore of the evil of those teachings, all Muslims, by definition, support Islam.
That is the peculiar moral conundrum: the many Muslims who innocently and unknowingly support an evil expansionist totalitarian system. Somewhat like those Nazis who did not know about the Holocaust; or communists who did not know about the gulag and about the totalitarian character of communism. They are guilty of negligent, careless, irresponsible, blind, selfish, stupid forms of association and membership. On the other hand, some Muslims understand Islam is fundamentally destructive to human beings, but feel the cost of abandoning the association would be far too high, perhaps the loss of their very lives.
Scott says
eduardo, you have summed it up in a nutshell, as well. I wonder what percentage of muslims are aware of the 109 verses of Hate in the Koran: Take a look at this: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx

‘Were America’s Founders Christian?’ … and Why We Shouldn’t Care …
HILLSDALE COLLEGE ONLINE COURSES
http://blog.hillsdale.edu/online-courses/were-the-founders-christian-and-why-we-shouldnt-care
The Founders themselves thought the principles of Christianity very helpful in supporting a free society. That being said, the private views of the founders and the other people of their era are far less important than their public pronouncements.
The following video is a clip from Q&A 5 of Hillsdale’s Online Course: “Constitution 101.”
Transcript:
John Miller: The Founders had many different kinds of religious beliefs but something that we hear often is that they were Deists. They weren’t really Christians they were Deists. What is Deism and did that influence the founding?
Thomas West: Okay. Before I get to that, I want to say that I am really, profoundly uninterested in what the private religious convictions of the founders may have been. I think that’s a topic that people who want to go into biography are welcome to investigate. What’s important about the founding is not what people privately did or believed in that founding era, but what was done publicly. What were the ideas and laws, customs, policies that the Founding Fathers coalesced around and united to support?
That’s what matters in the founding.
There, you find near unanimity, that is, the founders were very supportive of products of Christianity in their private lives, would privately attend church and were supportive in that way, and publicly spoke favorably of the prevailing Christian, particularly the prevailing Protestant understanding.
Again, I immediately have to add that wasn’t because the principles of the founding required Christianity, it was because the Founders as a group, insofar as they were acting publicly, thought Christianity was very helpful in supporting a free nation, a nation in which people believed it was their moral obligation to pay their debts, not to lie in court, to honor their father and mother, not to commit adultery; all of the typical things you find in the second table of the Ten Commandments, were also in the founder’s view, required by the natural law so they were supportive.
Now, individual founders, Jefferson, for example, called themselves true Christians. He didn’t much like Christianity as it prevailed in his day. On the other hand, when he became President, his first inaugural address, he made a big point of saying, “I am really supportive of the religious views that Americans, as a whole, share.” He too saw that Christianity as understood in America, at least in it’s moral teaching, was something that was not only valuable but deserved government support.

Wellington says
CRUSADER: No Founding Father was an atheist unless one counts Thomas Paine as a Founding Father and most don’t (and I’m not even certain he was a true atheist). All believed in a Higher Power but many of the Founding Fathers were not conventional Christians in the sense that they thought Jesus was divine. Thomas Jefferson surely didn’t and conveyed this in letters to a few select close friends like Benjamin Rush, John Adams (in old age) and his nephew. Jefferson thought the Trinity was theological nonsense and he thought theology a bogus area of study, much like astrology, and refused to have a department of theology at the university he founded—the University of Virginia. Jefferson also stated in his letters (which I used in my Master’s paper on Jefferson’s religious views) that all the miracles in the New Testament were later additions and this is why, knowing ancient Greek quite well as he did, he translated into English the ethical teachings of Jesus in the Gospels minus the miracles in his work known as the Jefferson Bible. BTW, Jefferson detested Saint Paul. He couldn’t stand the man.
Benjamin Franklin also did not believe in the divinity of Jesus and there were many others like Jefferson and Franklin in this regard among the Founding Fathers. Of course, many Founding Fathers were conventional Christians, Madison and Hamilton being two of them. For the record and all that.

Good points. Some few Founding Fathers were Deists.

*** America Founded a “Christian” Nation?
HILLSDALE COLLEGE ONLINE COURSES
http://blog.hillsdale.edu/online-courses/was-america-founded-a-christian-nation
Before answering this question, we must ask ourselves another one:
by what measure is a nation called “Christian?”
If the criteria is the presence or lack of biblical or religious language in its founding documents, America is sometimes Christian and sometimes not. If instead the self-identification of the majority of citizens defines a nation as “Christian,” then America has always been a Christian nation as opposed to a Jewish (or Muslim one). Dr. Mark Kalthoff, however, suggests that it doesn’t necessarily matter, for one important reason.
Watch the video to learn more.
The following video is a clip from Q&A 2 of Hillsdale’s Online Course: “American Heritage,” featuring Mark A. Kalthoff, Professor and Chairman of the History Department, and John J. Miller, Director of the Dow Journalism Program.
Transcript:
John J. Miller:
Now, this is the most popular subject for debate on the discussion board. Let me boil it down to a simple question.
Is America a Christian nation?
Mark Kalthoff:
Well, that’s a hot question. In fact, it’s so hot that I finally consented, in this semester here on campus with my students, [to teach] a seminar entitled, “Was the United States Founded as a Christian Nation?”
If we had time to do a whole course, I probably could fill that up, so that I can’t say too much. The real first question is, “What would it mean for us to be a Christian nation?” It seems to me that how we answer that question determines whether we would answer yes or no. For example, first we might ask, is there specifically biblical, religious, or Christian language in particular seminal documents, such as the Declaration or the Constitution or certain proclamations from the Continental Congresses or certain important ordinances?
If we go with that, we would say, “Well, sometimes. The Constitution, other than ‘year of our Lord’ doesn’t mention God.” In fact, there’s a book called The Godless Constitution. The Declaration of Independence mentions God four times. The Northwest Ordinance article 3 begins with the language; “religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” There seems to be an explicit statement about the link between religion, knowledge, and good government. There were fast days and Thanksgiving Day proclamations twice a year by the Continental Congress during the founding period. Some of these documents indicate a Christian emphasis. Some don’t.
On the other hand, we might ask, what about formal ties between institutional government and the church, a theocracy or established religion? In that case, no, America was not founded as a theocracy and we know that the first amendment at least limited, on the national level, Congress from doing what? Making any law respecting an establishment of religion. No formally respected church support from the national government. The simplest way in which many people argue this is [that] they ask about the beliefs, the character, or the personal self-identification of most Americans, and it turns out if you could reach back through time and ask a typical American in the late 18th century how they self identified religiously, they would say, “I’m a Christian.”
In that sense, we were a Christian nation more than we would be self-identified as a Jewish, or Muslim, or pick your other religion.
The more important question, really, [is] how would saying “yes” matter? It turns out, an interesting fact of American history is that up until about the 1960s or ’70s, almost all Americans on all sides of the political spectrum identified themselves as living in a Christian nation. The question wasn’t whether Americans thought they lived in a Christian nation, it was what were the implications of that and it turned out people on both sides of the political spectrum argued that because we’re a Christian nation, their policy should come in place.
There were southerners who were ready to secede from the north because the north was full of atheist infidels because the north didn’t have a constitution that mentioned God and many southerners were proud, during the Civil War, of the fact that the southern constitution did. Of course, many northern abolitionists linked their abolitionism to their Christian confession while southern slaveholders often defended their slavery by appealing to the Bible. That’s just one episode, but it turns out every generation has that kind of idea.

of the United States of America:
http://www.adherents.com/gov/Founding_Fathers_Religion.html
Of 4 major founding documents: 3 included here and the Articles of Association. The Articles were ratified in October 1774. Abraham Lincoln, in his first inaugural address, referred to them as the document that created the union. It was a union of 12 colonies, but it became the union of the 13 countries that came into existence on July 4, 1776 when that document of secession known to the world as The Declaration of Independence was first signed. Georgia was the only colony that did not have any delegate sign the Articles. And yes, Roger Sherman signed it. Roger was the only person to sign all 4 documents.
——————
A founder’s statements from their last days on earth have supremacy over their younger more impulsive and ambitious days. This is why a “last will and testament” is a ruling document and is not superseded by earlier collections of contrary hearsay.
…
“Of all the systems of morality, ancient or modern, which have come under my observation, none appear to be so pure as that of Jesus.”
— Letter to William Canby, Sept 18,1813 ~Thomas Jefferson (70 years old)
“Had the doctrines of Jesus been preached always as purely as they came from his lips the whole civilized world would now have been Christian”.
— Jefferson’s letter to Benjamin Waterhouse June 26, 1822 (79 years old)
—————–
The founders did not create a Christian nation; the delegates who drafted the U.S. Constitution created a government for the already existing Christian nation.
The Constitution is marked “in the Year of our Lord,” and there is no doubt that “our Lord” is Christ. Was that merely a standard 18th-century way of referencing the date without any meaning? It’s not used today because it has no relevance and meaning for many. But back then, the language was used precisely because of its relevance and meaning. The delegates certainly did not have to add the language.

We need more leader who are willing to speak the truth about islam. Thank you Mr. Northcott.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Re: Berry pushed back, saying that as an elected official, Northcott is supposed to represent everyone in his district regardless of their religious beliefs. In response, Northcott argued that he defends freedom of religion even for “those who reject the Truth of God’s Word.” But he added that there are “limits to the exercise of this right” and again suggested that Islam is inherently violent.
Muslim leaders were particularly troubled by Northcott’s line of thinking, which they say implies that Muslims don’t have constitutional rights…..”
Pretending that the global crime-gang called islam is a “race” of poor swarthy animal-people, oppressed by the mentally superior whites, in order to slander everyone who notices it’s a crime-gang as a hatefully bigoted “racist” – is to deliberately enable that crime-gang’s crimes by hiding and destroying the evidence of same, and thus to be a willing accessory to those crimes. Since islam is a murder-gang, and the penalty for committing and enabling the commission of murder is DEATH, anyone and everyone who calls an opponent of muslims, islam, and their global jihad, a “racist!” should be lawfully put to death.
Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.
Right in the Qur’an is: the obligation to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).
Are death-threats legal? NO.
Is extortion legal? NO.
Is slavery legal? NO.
Is murder legal? NO.
Is rape legal? NO.
THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!
Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!
Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!
So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!
IN TRYING TO MAKE CRITICISM OF THE GLOBAL CRIME GANG CALLED “ISLAM” INTO A CRIME, TO PROTECT THAT CRIME GANG BY HIDING THE EVIDENCE OF ITS CRIMES, SUCH PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS AND TRAITORS TO RATIONALITY, CIVILIZATION, AND HUMANITY ITSELF.
So charges of treason should be filed against the judges in such cases. The exact violation is Article six, second paragraph, which states “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
But – hadn’t you heard?!
Being angry at (“hateful” towards) criminals is now the most vile sin, while pitying (“tolerating”) them all as “fellow victims,” is to be deemed the highest moral virtue, these days!
Having no facts, logic, or reasonable arguments with which to defend their own crimes and treason, criminals must in stead substitute this global attempt to control our very thinking – through an emotional, sub-conscious “narrative” – so much so, that the only advice we hear from “our” hypocrite governments, their pet media, and the corporazi globalist banksters who own them all, seems to invariably be:
“Anyone who doesn’t automatically pity all criminals as fellow victims should be hated!”
Which is why hurting the feelings of criminals by accusing them of their crimes, is now a “hateful” crime itself!
UNCLE VLADDI says
Whatcott and Northcott. A “Cottage” industry islamophobia pattern develops?

R Cole says
If a Muslim said something similar they would ignore them and find some way to excuse it. See Ilhan Omar.
Under Islamic law, non-Muslims would not have the same rights. They could only be second class citizens or non-citizens and live as Dhimmis. CAIR who wants sharia to replace the US Constitution got a taste of their own medicine.
