Talking Points Memo has wrongly accused Matt Wolking, a staffer on President Donald Trump’s political campaign, of being “anti-Muslim”. This is yet another demonstration of a continued pattern of attack against those who call out obvious truths and worst, a twisting of their words .
TPM accuses Wolking of describing Muslims as “murderous thugs,” which stems from a post he wrote arguing that a poll showing that seven percent of Muslims supported the 9/11 attacks was alarming and not defensible.
9-11 jihadists, along with those who supported them “completely” are indeed “murderous thugs” who have declared war on Americans in the name of Islam. This certainly does not mean that Wolking described all Muslims as “murderous thugs” as stated by Talking Points Memo.
Wolking responded to the article on Twitter, stating:
This Talking Points Memo headline is a lie. In 2008, Gallup published a survey about the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims. Gallup reported that 7% of respondents said the 9/11 attacks were “completely” justified. If you condone the 9/11 attacks, what other description is there?
To understand the significance of that poll, 7% of 1.3 billion Muslims equals 91,000,000. Therefore 91 million Muslims believe that the 9-11 attack on innocents was “completely” justified. That number is two-and-a-half times the population of Canada. It is an alarming statistic.
“Trump Campaign Staffer Attacked for Calling 9/11 Terror Supporters ‘Murderous”, by Charlie Spiering, Breitbart, May 11, 2019:
Talking Points Memo blog published a list of smears attacking a staffer on President Donald Trump’s political campaign after establishment media organizations passed on opposition research pushed by leftist Super PAC American Bridge.
The Talking Points Memo (TPM) article published Friday accuses Matt Wolking, a deputy director of communications for Rapid Response for the Trump campaign, of writing anti-Muslim comments on his personal blog in college.
The blog, “Wolking’s World,” featured mostly scraps of news followed by commentary and analysis, commonly found on blogs before the Twitter era.
TPM accuses Wolking of describing Muslims as “murderous thugs,” which stems from a post he wrote arguing that a poll showing that seven percent of Muslims supported the 9/11 attacks was alarming and not defensible.
Commenting on an article on the results of a Gallup poll of Muslims, Wolking criticized the tone and wrote, “They still can’t get around the fact that over 90 million Muslims are murderous thugs, a conservative estimate considering all of those who would rather not go on record as supporting terrorism, especially to a Western polling company.”
Wolking responded to the article on Twitter:
TPM also accused Wolking of describing Islam as a religion whose followers celebrated 9/11 by dancing in the streets, a fact that was documented by the media at the time.
The Friday night oppo dump prompted ridicule in Republican circles in Washington, and a source close to the campaign revealed to Breitbart News that both the Washington Postand The Daily Beast passed on the story before TPM published it……
Terry Gain says
TPM supports murderous thugs.
Bill Bowden says
I totally agree
John Allan says
In that case,allow me to be anti-Muslim. He’s right.
Bill Bowden says
I totally agree
Naildriver says
Being anti-Muslim is perfectly justifiable if the assumption is that when we speak of Muslims they are ‘good’ Muslims who practice the religion without being considered apostate, contrary to abrogated interpretations of the Koran, and practice authorized Islam from either the Sunni or Shia. Yes, we all should be militantly anti-Muslim, and those who find this problematic be damned.
It’s a religion that empowers; thugs, murderers, fanatics, and the worst character in people.
duh swami says
Not all Muslims are murderous thugs, but some are…Those that are not, support the ones that are…Jihad is an obligation and it has no expiration date…
RonaldB says
I’ve noticed that leftists, even respected commentators, the ones on Fox, commonly use leftist factoids, generalities, and long-since debunked claims as statements of fact. “All 17 US intelligence agencies found that Russians interfered with the elections”, “Trump is racist towards Mexicans”, and on and on.It’s like a leftist makes an opening statement, and you have to think “Where do I start to unravel this mess?”
It’s like they live in a self-reverberating, self-contained world of their own, kind of like the doomsday religious cult living together, assuming the aliens would be landing and taking over in a few weeks. Reality simply doesn’t intrude in their world view.
One of their tropes is, everyone is the same. If you have more Muslims bombing civilians, its just an artifact of a biased reporting system.
Shirley Ann says
Mr. Matt Wolking is SPOT-ON, with his Observations about the Terrorist Thugs, they are the Enemy of All ManKind! Are we No Longer allowed to Identify & NAME the Enemy as THUGS, if those THUGS happen to be Muslim! On 9/11/2001, 100% of those Thugs were Muslims & the Majority of those who spilled out into the Streets to Cheer, were Muslims, Pure & Simple. A Big Thank You to Mr. Wolking, I STAND SQUARELY WITH YOU!
Renate says
Well what else could you call them?
Ronyvo says
EXACTLY.
Walter Sieruk says
This is that statement about those 9//11 jihad supporters being “murderous thugs” is in essence a true statement. For example, if a person a or a number of people not only condone support and like and approve even men doing a specific evil action, those who condone ,support and support certain wicked behavior are just as despicable, wrong and terrible from the ethical and moral viewpoint as those who actually carry out heinously awful actions.
Infidel Numero Uno says
I commend Matt Wolking for his truthful and unambiguous description of the death cult adherents.

Hear, hear!
Walter Sieruk says
Well,”murderous thugs” are by character callous and as its been termed “cold as a fish.” Such is the callous character of those Muslims who actually enjoyed the mass murder and mayhem which occurred on September 11, 2001 . As they say “If the shoe fits…”
Furthermore, a Muslim cleric had even called 9/11 a “comedy film” is terribly heartless and cruel yet strong reminder that on the day of September 9 2016 some man I know who works as a security guard at a public place told me a Muslim actually had the nerve to walk over to him and said to him two Muslim “Jokes” about 9/11. As if it was a funny subject. It’s wrong to even try to “joke” about 9/11. Talk about bad “jokes” those two are the very much worst of all. The first was “What is the difference between September 11, 20001 and a cow?” answer “You don’t keep milking a cow after fifteen years.” Not only is that “joke” awful but those Muslims trying to be funny by say that cruel thing do have some gall because they have no room to talk . For they are still are “milking” the topic of the crusades and the crusades have been over for well more than seven hundred years. What gall they have! The second “Muslim “joke” about 9/11 is “On September 11, 2001 the people trapped on the upper floors of the WTC had ordered their pizza sent to them plane.” To say that such “humor” is terrible is an understatement. Furthermore, those Muslim who say those “jokes” are really only exposing their own sick, vicious, callous and heartless Islamic mindset.”
Walter Sieruk says
Call the Muslims who are even enjoyed the 9/11 “murderous thugs’ is not really “anti-Muslim” This two words “murderous thugs apply on to to vicious and malice -filled Muslims who likes the loss of human life on September 11, 2001. That term doesn’t apply to the Muslims who understand the different between right and wrong and detested what those al Qaeda operatives did on 9/11.
As those those Muslims who approved of the heinous events which occurred on 9/11 the term “murderous thugs is appropriate, fitting” proper and well deserved , they are vicious and lawless and thugs they praise the jihadists hijackers of /911. This reflects the words found in the Bible in Proverbs 28:4 “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked…” [N.K.J.V.]
ntesdorf says
Murderous Thugs sounds like a very accurate description to me.
Debi Brand says
‘”If you condone the 9/11 attacks, what other description is there?'”
From the Muslim perspective, how about “good ‘believer.'”

………………
What–now we are supposed to applaud Muslims murdering us lest we be considered “anti-Muslim”?
scherado says
Let’s do the math, shall we?
What is 7 percent of one point three billion people? (plain English)
Part over whole, percent over 100 (formula)
X/1.3B == %/100
X/1.3B == .07/100
(cross multiply)
.07 x 1300000000 == 91,000,000
Ninety One Million
Ninety One Million bloodthirsty, deranged, jihad-ready-willing-and-able Muslims
91,000,000 (Ninety One Million)
scherado says
“THANK ME!!”
eduardo odraude says
And 91 million just represents the number that would openly admit that view to a Western pollster. How many were there who agreed but were afraid to say so? How many of those 91 million would have signed up to financially support 9/11 if given the opportunity? Most of them. And how many would have themselves have become 9/11 jihadists if given the opportunity? A million?
And how many more are there who might not be all in for jihad terror, but who support totalitarian aspects of Islamic law? Are there a billion Islamic law supporters around the globe? And what would they do to enforce Islamic law?
Well, we already know that those who too publicly criticize or lampoon Islam can be swamped with death threats. The FBI advised Molly Norris they could not protect her and that she should change her name and disappear. Which she did. That’s just the tip of the tip of an iceberg the society will crash into if the percentage of the Muslim population grows.

Thanks for those grim figures.

“HOLOCAUST = CALMING FEELING” says Terrible Tlaib ***
House Republican leaders called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to “take action” against Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Sunday after Tlaib said that thinking about the Holocaust gave her “kind of a calming feeling.”
Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman to be elected to Congress, made the comments while discussing the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians during an appearance on the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery.”
“There’s always kind of a calming feeling, I tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people’s passports,” Tlaib said on the podcast’s most recent episode, published Friday.
“And, just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And, I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways, but they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them.”
“There is no justification for the twisted and disgusting comments made by Rashida Tlaib just days after the annual Day of Holocaust Remembrance,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., said in a statement. “More than six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust; there is nothing ‘calming’ about that fact.
“Unfortunately, this is far from the first display of heinous anti-Semitic comments coming from Democrat House members this year, and it’s clear this is now the norm for their caucus,” Scalise added. “It’s long past time for Speaker Pelosi to take swift action and make it clear that these vile comments have no place in Congress.”
House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said Tlaib’s comments were “sickening” and called on Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., “to finally take action against Representative Tlaib and other members of the Democratic caucus who are spreading vile anti-Semitism.”
“All of us, regardless of party, must stand as Americans against the evil of anti-Semitism,” added Cheney, the third-ranking Republican member of the House. “If the Democratic leadership continues to stand by in silence, they are enabling the spread of evil. History teaches us that anti-Semitism begins with words and becomes something far worse. Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer must act now.”
Tlaib, along with Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has become a lightning rod for critics who have accused her of promoting anti-Semitic activists and rhetoric. Last month, the Zionist Organization of America called for the Democrats to expel Tlaib and pull her committee assignments over her “anti-Israel record” and her alleged association with “terrorists, anti-Semites and conspiracy theorists.”
Late Sunday, Tlaib tweeted: “Policing my words, twisting & turning them to ignite vile attacks on me will not work. All of you who are trying to silence me will fail miserably. I will never allow you to take my words out of context to push your racist and hateful agenda. The truth will always win.”
Tlaib says ‘Islamophobia’ among Dems may be why Omar was criticized by own party.

some of these people have a single digit IQ…why are they not ridiculed?
DP111 says
TPM supports a genocidal ideology that wishes to murder or convert all Infidels. Islam takes genocide to a different ;level all together.
Muslims believe in “Inshallah” – everything is the will of allah. Thus a successful Jihadi attack, where hundreds of Infidels are killed, must be due to the will of allah – Inshaallah. So it cannot be condemned.
An unsuccessful Jihad is dismissed as “it was not the will of allah”.
eduardo odraude says
Islam’s strategy of oppressing non-Muslims in order to get rid of them gradually (by conversion, exile, or destruction) over a time period lasting generations is all the scarier because it is camouflaged by the use of long-term methods. Thus Islam on the surface may seem to grant non-Muslims the right to exist. But in fact they are granted that right only provided they accept a brutally debased status in law and society. The non-Muslim right to exist is so compromised and conditional that it really serves only to camouflage Islam’s fundamental effect over time: the destruction of non-Muslim cultures and peoples.
Recovering Liberal Democrat from Chgo says
Jeez, can’t they be more original? I mean, really, Islamophobia isn’t even a real word.
UNCLE VLADDI says
They’re implying that they know islam had something to do with 9/11.
