No one has jumped more enthusiastically on the mass shootings by Neo-Nazis than Islamofascists who have taken the opportunity to loudly claim that the real threat isn’t them, it’s white men.
Some have been more unhinged about it than others. Like Reza Aslan, formerly of CNN, who tweeted, “The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters – ALL OF THEM -are by definition white nationalist terror supporters.”
By Aslan’s standards, what does that make him?
As Robert Spencer noted, “Aslan is a Board member of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). NIAC has been established in court as a lobbying group for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Said Michael Rubin: “Jamal Abdi, NIAC’s policy director, now appears to push aside any pretense that NIAC is something other than Iran’s lobby. Speaking at the forthcoming ‘Expose AIPAC’ conference, Abdi is featured on the ‘Training: Constituent Lobbying for Iran’ panel. Oops.” Iranian freedom activist Hassan Daioleslam”documented over a two-year period that NIAC is a front group lobbying on behalf of the Iranian regime.” NIAC had to pay him nearly $200,000 in legal fees after they sued him for defamation over his accusation that they were a front group for the mullahs, and lost. Yet Aslan remains on their Board.”
Spencer also noted Aslan’s history of apologetics for Hamas. And Aslan even argued with Jake Tapper about Hamas’ accountability.
These are the sorts of creatures accusing half the country of being terrorists.

Trump supporters are WHAT??? I’m a Trump support…& I do NOT support terrorism. So there’s your FIRST definition, a pile of Horse Shit.,,
Rufolino says
The almost universal assumption in the media, including the BBC, that Trump is the origin of the recent shooting outrages is, itself, utterly outrageous.
Giacomo Latta says
If all presidents must take responsibility for what happens during their mandate then who must take responsibility for the Orlando mass murder of a mere 49 individuals on June 11, 2016? Let’s, I believe it was Osama, Obama, something like that.
gravenimage says
This is especially grotesque given that the Dayton shooter was a leftist. (Please note, I am *not* blaming Elizabeth Warren for the actions of this supporter–I do not agree with much of her platforms, but she has never urged this kind of violence).
carolyne says
These acts are committed by one deranged person and they do not have the backing of any religion or any decent person. I am a Trump supporter and I do not support this senseless killing. However, judging by Mr Aslan’s name, it is more likely that he would.
gravenimage says
Islam certainly backs killing, Carolyne.
Fp says
I don’t believe for a second that the El Paso shooter was right wing. I think it will come out that he is Antifa.
CogitoErgoSum says
He has both right and left wing ideas. If you can find a copy of his manifesto online read through it. He mentions the Lorax from Dr. Seus and the effects of mass immigration on the environment. He does not like big corporations because they encourage illegal immigration and use it is a way to get cheap labor. He also does not like the Baby Boomer generation dying off and being replaced by immigrants. He does like Trump but he specifically states that Trump did not motivate him to do what he did. He wanted to die but he allowed himself to be taken alive. He’s one very confused and, yes, I would say mentally ill human being.
CogitoErgoSum says
Here is I something I just found out. The El Paso shooter’s father is a mental health counselor specializing in drug addiction. I wonder how often he talked to his son. If the two of them had communicated would the father have been able to spot something wrong with his son’s mental health? What has become of the family in America that this father wasn’t able to realize that his son was slipping into such a dangerous state of mind and that he should be kept away from guns.
CRUSADER says
Doesn’t matter.
Trump’s fault.
guest says
His father is reported to be a former drug addict (of 40 years) who was not really there (nor was the mother apparently). The father is, it seems, a new age kind of guy and a devotee of Marianne Williamson.
Troubled past and he had problems in school as detailed by his classmates (longer, odd, etc.).
CogitoErgoSum says
I think there really is a mental health crisis in the United States and the people most in need of treatment have gravitated to the left. What in the world is going on with all this outright insanity being pushed as normal? The world is turning upside down.
CRUSADER says
Mental Illness crisis in America:
One reason could be the DNA….
AMERICA is mostly made up of immigrants in its history.
Two elements formed this wide demographic.
1) People who rationally sought freedoms from and liberties to….
and
2) People who couldn’t cope with matters in the old world because they were misfits and anxious. So the USA really got a boatload of these 2) types, and we’ve had to contend with this mixture of DNA ever since…
Add the threat of rash video gaming content into undisciplined minds, and there is a formula for craziness to mushroom in an increasingly isolated society….

It will be interesting to see if the percentage of gay people in the population decreases over the next 50 to 100 years. If they are allowed to marry each other fewer and fewer of them will be marrying a person of the opposite sex. Thus, they will have fewer and fewer children and eventually, if it’s in the DNA, the number of people attracted to members of the same sex will decline. If people are “born that way” there should be fewer and fewer people born that way and those who are gay will become quite rare. We’ll see if it’s in the DNA … that is, the people of the future will because I won’t live that long.
gravenimage says
I actually know quite a few gay people who have kids. For what it’s worth, all of the grown-up kids so far have been straight.
CogitoErgoSum says
Graven, true, but maybe being heterosexual is a dominant trait and being homosexual is a recessive trait. If gays no longer pass along their genetic material will it that trait eventually grow extremely rare? With the ability to marry each other now, will they still choose to marry someone of the opposite sex? I guess some still will, but my guess is that the numbers of them doing so will decline. Just another one of the things I wonder about now that I am retired and with spare time on my hands.
gravenimage says
Impossible to know, CogitoErgoSum–but I haven’t seen evidence that gay people are passing along their genes more seldom than previously. Perhaps time will tell.
Kessler says
This leftist/liberal echo-chamber is getting really boring now. They desperately jump on every opportunity to discredit Trump and his supporters as nazis/white supremacists/racists – they are aware that with such a labels, discussion is no longer necessary and violence against these “nazis” becomes acceptable. Rational debate never was their strong point, so the smear tactics and threats is their preferred approach.
It has reached a point now in the UK where it has become impossible to publicly show any sort of support for Trump without consequences. I think I would be disadvantaged at work for revealing my political views. I have never experienced such a climate before. A few days ago, my 7-year old kid came home from school telling me how bad Trump is (and earlier why we are not vegan, lol). I refrained from correcting him as I know it could get him in trouble. Seems democracy is only acceptable if your political views are aligned with the left. And they call us the fascists….
Robert_k says
Reza Aslan acts Gay. Seems to me that in Iran he would be hung on a crane – but in the US he’s on CNN.
beyondculturewars says
He’s married to a female Christian……….with 3 sons………….wonder how that’s going.
Rarely says
White supremacists of the Neo-Nazi variety add nothing positive to the mix and only give fuel to the Aslans of the world as the Aslans try to undermine the development of sane immigration and foreign policy practices. Some people will be convinced not to support Trump and the Republican Party simply because it has the very vocal support of these white supremacists. Those who oppose Trump the most can be expected to play this card non-stop up to the next Presidential election. No surprises here.
CogitoErgoSum says
If neo-Nazis were in the media openly spewing their hate as much as these leftist are I would be concerned about a Nazi takeover. But it appears the ones in the news most often and who are agitating others into becoming violent are the people who are supposedly anti-Nazi. The message I am getting is exactly the opposite of what people like Aslan are wanting me to believe. What I hear coming from Trump and what they hear seems to be two different things. They interpret the word “rats” as “blacks” and the word “condemn” as “support.” It’s crazy.
Rarely says
It’s like comparing Hitler to Stalin — which was worse? Needless discussion. The white supremacists and the islam jihadists are both pretty dangerous. No point arguing which is worse. Neither is a solution to the “evil” of the other. The jihadists appear to present a more immediate danger and something can be done to prevent a further influx but the WSs seem eager to give them a run for their money.
CogitoErgoSum says
It’s a useless discussion it you can’t agree upon the meaning of words.
Rarely says
CES.
Did you even bother to read my comments before replying? Aslan doesn’t care what Trump says. Aslan and his ilk will continue to try to convince people that to support Trump makes one a white supremacist. What Trump says or does is irrelevant to him.
CogitoErgoSum says
Rarely, yes, I did read what you wrote. I thought my response was in support of what you wrote and expanded upon it. Why do you ask me if I read what you wrote? How did I go off on a tangent or contradict what you said? Did I offend you in some way. Did I commit some micro-aggression against you?

It’s their new battle plan.
Commit islamic or leftist terrorism, then blame the ‘white man.’
I commented on this yesterday, about how they labeled ‘white nationalists’ as a ‘terror group’ on the government watch list after the weekend shootings. There was all the typical rhetoric about ‘white supremacy’ and then ‘white nationalism’ and ‘racism’ etc.
This way anyone who complains about illegal immigrant invasions or other things like that can be labeled as a ‘white nationalist’ and targeted for terrorism, hate speech, etc.
On the news at El Paso I saw how they had several flags propped up at the Walmart parking lot.
This all plays into numerous agendas:
1. One world government (border issues, race and immigrant issues, national sovereignty).
2. Gun control. (leading to tyranny)
3. Race cards and labeling anyone who complains about illegal invasions as ‘terrorists.’
4. Targeting the white man. The white, straight, conservative male has become a target all around.
Yup, it’s moving along…
and this Reza is such a fool!
The globalists have all their useful idiots.

Like minded people tend to gravitate to each other. The left have opened the door to many that are obviously displaying symptoms of an assortment of mental illnesses and so a collection of loons are being attracted to the left like bugs to a zapper. In response to that the left says, come on in, take a seat at our table.

Nothing more than just one more attempt, this time by the ass, Reza Aslan, to delegitimize Trump and his supporters.
Put another way: Leftists lie and they lie regularly. Ditto for Muslims. No wonder these two are allies though there are also other reasons for this warped (and temporary) alliance, a hatred of real freedom and an antipathy to an inexorable pursuit of the truth functioning as two additional “motivations” by these two warped and confused “representatives” of the human species who can do mankind no good but certainly much harm. Most certainly have already, have they not?

While watching his happy dance, my Gaydar sensors were pinging off the dials. Perhaps someone should arrange a coming out party for Reza in Iran or Saudi Arabia with an invite to him that includes a reminder to BYOR (Bring Your Own Rope).

News Flash:
“unidentified suspect“
================
Four people were killed and two people were injured late Wednesday after a series of robberies turned into a stabbing spree at multiple locations throughout Orange County, California, police said. The Garden Grove Police Department said the stabbings started around 4 p.m. at an apartment complex in Garden Grove, where two people were stabbed to death and another person was taken to a hospital with injuries. The suspect proceeded to attempt to rob a bakery before stabbing a woman at an insurance company, according to police. She is expected to survive. Afterward, the suspect stabbed a man at a Chevron gas station whose nose was “almost severed off,” Garden Grove Police Lt. Carl Whitney said at a press conference. The suspect then stabbed a man to death at a nearby Subway in Santa Ana, and afterward killed a security guard at a 7-Eleven across the street, Whitney said. “Robbery, hate, homicide. This is all of the above,” Whitney said at the press conference. “It’s just pure tragedy right now.” The 33-year-old unidentified suspect was arrested at the 7-Eleven, according to police. Garden Grove and Santa Ana police are investigating at least eight crime scenes in the area, ABC7 reports.

No doubt: Trump’s fault.

Reza Aslam , what a man , what a destiny ! Born as a muslin in Iran , he moved out to live in the USA , country his faith describes as the GREAT SATAN .In a word , he choosed Hell.
After a while , well, he lost his muslim faith .( LIke Hussein O. , it seems ) Then he discovered catholicism .Wow ! He became christian and a christian apologist . But suddenly his faith faint and he re-discover , the time of a new book , the truth of his original faith : ISLAM.Much more compatible for him , he said , because it was his much near his culture . Of course . Every one knows that a faith born in southern arabian desert in the middle ages fits well in Reza daily californian campus university of the XXI century . Islam is so flexible !
Muhammad was right when he said : the greatest quality a muslim can have is hypocrisy , a so much needed quality to deceive stupid infidels !
Mike says
Mike Adams comment on Infowars about El Paso “shooter ” was very eye opening . Mike ask the audience how an untrained 21 years old man with an AK-47 and one magazine could killed 20 persons? According to US Army elite shooters school , a man in motion shooting on moving targets , 90 % of his bullits will be missed ones and even up to 98 %. ( In a shooting stand , shooter and target are still and bullit eyes are not so often.) So , to kill 20 , one must shoot over 300 bullits . A bullit in a feet, a thigh , a hand , a shoulder , that doesn”t kill anyone . You have to hit the heart, lungs or the head . ( Even for JFK , CIA and Mafia used multiple elite shooters with a final explosive bullit .They didn’t took any chances .) So , how could a single man with 30 bullits could do such a rampage ?
If the “official shooter ” was suicidal as we were told by authorities ,why did he come in with ear protection and eyes protection? He was willing to die but in a perfect condition ? And what was DAvid Hogg doing in the surroundings?
Thanks FBI for your answer .Thanks also for the video of the actual shooting.

John says
He got a lot of exposure preaching that Islam in not the source of any evils…”it’s the culture of the evil people” not their religion Reza Aslan is mentally ill. As a good Muslim he freely lies to defend the indefensible religion (?) we call Islam. In reality Massive Genocide doesn’t phase him in the least, only non-Muslim mass murder is subject to criticism…indicating that he is most certainly a psychopath. Islam does this to otherwise sane people. ” It is impossible, impossible for a person the read the life of Mohamed and believe it to be true then live a normal sane life.” Wafa Sultan. This Islamophile is a good example of this.
UNCLE VLADDI says
He seems to have conveniently forgotten that according to geneticists, all Arabs, Muhammad included, ARE white men. But if he did, then he’d realize that in claiming white men are the #1 terror sources, he’d be right!
jca reid says
Aslan is a complete fraud. He’s simply set himself up as an “Expert” & he knows f*ck all! He wouldn’t recognise the Truth if it bit him in the ass! I’m quite surprised that in the USA, the land of litigation, he hasn’t been taken to court for ‘preaching’ his slanderous & libellous falsehoods. Any lawyer would tell him he couldn’t win his case & settle up. BTW, Mohammed WAS a white man. The Hadiths clearly state this. That was why T.E. Lawrence, (Lawrence of Arabia fame in WW!), could move about with ease in Turkish occupied Arabia. He was a fluent Arabic speaker, maybe even knew dialects. How could a blond haired, blue eyed do this, even as a fluid Arabic speaker?
