Kevin Barrett is “an American scholar and political commentator,” according to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s house organ, PressTV. He is also, as this article shows, a paranoid conspiracy nut who sees Jews behind everything. And this is no surprise. Barrett is a convert to Islam, and so his hatred, contempt, and fear of Jews has a clear source: the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
And as the Left sinks ever farther into antisemitism, the point of view of Kevin Barrett and his ilk plays better and better in Madison, Wisconsin.
“Sirhan Sirhan was ‘hypnotized’ by Jewish criminal organizations to kill RFK: Scholar,” PressTV, August 31, 2019:
Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian refugee found guilty of shooting US Senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy to death in 1968, was “hypnotized” by Jewish criminal organizations to kill RFK, an American scholar and political commentator says.
Sirhan, 75, was hospitalized Friday after being stabbed by a fellow inmate at a prison in San Diego, California.
A statement from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said the stabbing occurred Friday afternoon at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego.
“Sirhan Sirhan was hypnotized to randomly fire many shots and indeed the number of shots fired in that incident greatly exceeded the number of bullets in Sirhan Sirhan’s gun,” said Kevin Barrett, an author, journalist and radio host in Madison, Wisconsin.
“These gangsters that we call Kosher Nostra, or ethnically Jewish organized crime with a fanatical loyalty to Israel, very likely has been behind the worst crimes in modern American history,” Barrett told Press TV during a phone interview Saturday.
The Kosher Nostra was responsible for “killing President [John F.] Kennedy to stop him from shutting down Israel’s nuclear weapons program, killing his brother to prevent justice from emerging from RFK and killing JFK Jr. of course in the late 1990s to prevent him from becoming president and reopening these cases,” Barrett added….
