My latest in PJ Media:
America, the Left’s whipping boy for everything it can’t blame on Israel, deserved 9/11, says Hasan Piker, a commentator on the far-Left web series “The Young Turks.” Piker wrote on Twitter:
America deserved 911…Americas [sic] foreign policy decisions has lead [sic] to 911. this would’ve been a controversial thing to say in 2001. stop being a f***ing idiot. We supplied arms to and trained bin laden. we destabilized the region long before 911. and now we’re stuck in perpetual war, which dan crenshaw was trying to justify in that clip. it’s exactly this kind of attitude that has sent thousands of young men and women overseas to die.
His charm offensive didn’t end there. Speaking about Crenshaw, a Republican congressman from Texas and a former Navy SEAL who lost an eye in combat in Afghanistan, Piker said: “This guy has the understanding of foreign policy of, like, a 12-year-old. What the f***. What the f*** is wrong with this dude? Didn’t he go to war and like literally lose his eye because some mujahideen — a brave f***ing soldier — f***ed his eye hole with their d***?”
In reality, Piker’s understanding of foreign policy is far weaker and filled with misinformation than Crenshaw’s. The U.S. did not supply arms to or train bin Laden, but certainly misguided foreign policy “experts” had the U.S. training other mujahedin in Afghanistan in the late 1980s. Does this justify the murder of 3000 innocent civilians? In Hasan Piker’s mind, yes. And of course his Leftist fan base, ecstatic at finding another reason to hate and denigrate America, eats this stuff up as if it were a tub of Ben and Jerry’s.
All this leads to a larger question: why is Hasan Piker such a jerk? Why are so many of allies and friends jerks as well? Piker’s combination of obscenity and hatred is very common among Leftists and their Muslim allies. Islamic supremacist spokesmen in the U.S., including many who claim to be “moderate” and are lauded by the intelligentsia as wise, broad-minded, tolerant people who are busy building bridges of understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims, are all too often immature, arrogant, foul-mouthed creeps whose idea of a discussion is to hurl insults. The hate fairly oozes from their pores. There are many, many examples of this; Reza Aslan and Omid Safi stand out.
Hasan Piker, as well the legion of other foul-mouthed, rude, and moronic Islamic supremacist commentators on the scene today, may not realize it, but he is imitating Muhammad, the man he believes to be an “excellent example” of conduct, as the Qur’an calls him (33:21). Consider these hadiths, as quoted and annotated by Sam Shamoun…
There is much more. Read the rest here.
Wellington says
By this ignorant fool’s “logic,” and even assuming we armed and trained that Muslim psychopath, bin Laden (we didn’t), since we armed Stalin massively during WWII, America is responsible for Stalin doing what he did even before WWII was over, i.e., enslaving Eastern Europe.
Would be great if free polities only had to make alliances with other free polities. Unfortunately, we live in a real world and not a make-believe world. This asshole doesn’t grasp this. And so many others don’t as well—and few of whom are true fans of real freedom in the first place or who even understand what it takes to establish liberty.
Besides, long before America even existed, Islam had well demonstrated that it was the turd in the punch bowl of world religions and an inveterate enemy of freedom. Its many excesses over the centuries were actually often done BECAUSE of Islamic theology, contra excesses committed by the Judeo-Christian, Western world IN SPITE OF the Judeo-Christian theological blueprint. This young nothing won’t get this either. Count on it.

And the “sane” parts of the world, after all these many centuries, still allowed these “insane” nations to exist. OIL, MONEY and GREED have led us to the situation we, the sane world, are in today. In other words the animals are now running the zoo but guess what????…The animals didn’t break out and take over…The zoo keeper loosed them. All this mess probably started at the end of WW1…. probably?? Uncorrected, many mistakes were made that has impacted us right up to the present day…AND YET THE WORLD STANDS STILL and does nothing…..and what really sets me off is the FACT that all this “Muslim Take over” is being done without a war.
Of course most everyone will call me a fool and an idiot, but the real problem here is the FACT That the “sane world” has forgotten GOD…I know this because I have lived through it…living before WWII, I have been there and I began seeing a decline in Christianity around the time of the end of the Korean War and it has gotten worse ever since. As long as Christian values were present in the “sane world” GOD she’d his light on us but his light, on us, is growing dimmer every day and if one n e can’t see this then blindness is running rampant.
DEAR GOD PLEASE SAVE US FROM OURSELVES!

Wellington,
Very perceptive post, my compliments.
The only problem is, I can’t seem to erase that image in my mind of a “turd in a punch bowl”…
CRUSADER says
Yes, he’s utilized that imagery before, and I still can’t drink HawaiianPunch ever since picturing the BabyRuth floater from “Caddyshack”….
mortimer says
Agree with Wellington. Those fools ‘blame the victim’, rather than blaming the hate-filled, psychopathic ideology of Islam.
Terry Gain says

It seems that Piker is anxious to prove that he’s not a piker. At any rate I much prefer him being referred to as an asshole rather than a jerk, but even that isn’t strong enough to describe someone who expresses support for the killing of innocent people. I think he’s a sociopath. He should go home to Turkey. His anger reminds me of Erdogan.

“Piker is a pejorative slang term used to describe jejune individuals who are said to have limited impact on the operations of the market or a business. An individual is most likely to be considered a piker if he or she makes small trades or does not prepare fully for the trading day.Jun 1, 2018”
AP says
My God Wellington, the punch bowl line is great. Lmao
gravenimage says
Why Is The Young Turks’ Hasan Piker Such a Jerk?
………………………..
Largely, of course, because this is what Islam teaches–blame all your own savagery on your victims.
And over on his Twitter feed, he is sneering at American law, saying “what’s legal is unimportant”.

Yes … what Islam teaches 1) Islam’s motive is HATE (al Walaa wal Baraa) 2) Islam’s method is TRICKERY, DECEIT AND VIOLENCE (Jihad).
Hasan Piker uses 1) and 2) before a Leftist audience which doesn’t know he hates them too.
Hasan Piker doesn’t tell the Leftards that ‘they’re next’.
The crocodile Hasan Piker will eat the Leftards last.
beyondculturewars says
IMHO he’s got 2nd generation in freedom existential angst……quite common in folks who realize their medieval world view won’t allow them to fully participate in the 21st century free world unless they grow beyond it.
I loved Crenshaw’s response,
“[Hasan Piker] seems to confuse ‘Improvised Explosive Device’ with some weird terrorist fantasy. Lol sorry for triggering you Hasan. You’re no Pete Davidson, stop trying so hard,” he wrote in reference to the “Saturday Night Live” comedian who mocked Crenshaw’s war injury last year, but later apologized.”
James Lincoln says
beyondculturewars,
Yes, Dan Crenshaw is the real deal. Brave Navy SEALs like him protected me more than once when I was a physician on active duty Navy.
Piker is a complete turd in comparison… And he will never realize it….
CRUSADER says
Tjurk kid needs to read up on:
“Guns, Germs, and Steel”
Book by Jared Diamond
and
“The Book that Made Your World:
How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization”
Book by Vishal Mangalwadi
Alain says
But the Tjurk is barely literate. This would be extremely difficult for him to do.

Self-righteous idiots on a constant state of anger at other people for refusing to convert to their self-obvious truth and moral superiority. That’s my take, at least…
andrew mckendrick says
Dictionary definition of Piker….A timid cautious person often mean and petty , tends to back out of situations or shirk work.
Alain says
This article most accurately describes the subject in review.
Henry Mansfield says
The Left’s hatred of Western Civilization means that a guy like Piker can matriculate into a degree in a ‘fluff’ course on a campus where exculpatory arguments are punished.
Piker could apply the same penetrating analysis to his own people and religion, or he could just ask an Eastern European for an opinion.
StreetKillaz2019 says
I think that it’s time to get Hasan Piker removed from his position, by not giving TYT any views on their network, and send a message, that people like Hasan will not be tolerated, and neither will his rhetoric.
Steve Bartnes says
This guy needs to be shove onto the national arena. Make sure everyone knows who he is.
Larry says
It is Islam that creates “perpetual war.”
Mohamed Zowad says
I hate “Young Turks” I even look younger than most of them. Im glad to see that they are showing their true colors.
