Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

House Dems: Let Convicted Terrorists Work for the TSA!

Mar 16, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

This was utterly predictable in today’s atmosphere of leftist insanity, but it’s appalling nonetheless. As the sage Joe Biden would say, Look, Fat, look, here’s the deal: I’ve been warning for years that it would sooner or later become “Islamophobic” to offer even the mildest opposition to jihad violence and that the “Islamophobia” mongers would become increasingly open about their support for jihad terrorists, and here we are. On Thursday, 174 Democrats in the House of Representatives voted against an amendment to the Rights for Transportation Security Officers Act that would prevent the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from hiring convicted terrorists.

Yes, that’s right: if these House Democrats had gotten their way, on your next flight, you could have gotten a pat-down from a TSA agent who previously conspired to down the airplane you were planning to fly on. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) explained that the amendment “was pulled back by leadership because the socialist wing of the party did not want to have that amendment go forward on this bill. When it was offered, overwhelmingly the majority of the House would like to see the TSA not hire terrorists or those who have been convicted of sexual misconduct with minors and others. But the socialist wing of the party, that controls now the Democratic Party, said that that could not be offered.”

However, as these prospective TSA employees might have said, Allahu akbar! The whole thing exploded in their faces: enough Republicans and renegade Democrats voted for the amendment to pass it. But among the luminaries who thought it so important to avoid even the appearance of “Islamophobia” that they opposed an amendment barring terrorists from pawing through your belongings as you made your way through security were the infamous “Squad,” Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D, Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), and Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.), along with the supposedly sane and responsible House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.).

The TSA has always been more security theatre than actual security, but that’s beside the point here: AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and the 171 other House Democrats who opposed this measure didn’t vote against it because it would be ineffective, but clearly because it would offend a key portion of their constituency, which for most, if not all, Democrats today consists of people who believe that terrorists are victims, that American imperialism is the real problem, and that Donald Trump is “racist” for wanting to protect Americans from jihad terror attacks by foreign nationals coming from the countries included in his travel ban and from violent crimes by illegal aliens coming into the country from Mexico.

There is much more. Read the rest here.

        The claim being made on the other side is that the Dems rejected the amendment not because they think terrorists should be hired. They rejected the amendment because it was unnecessary, so they say, because according to them there were already adequate rules against hiring terrorists.

          We need to better convey the threat to them and to improve our debate to the point where we can dispel their arguments.

          Some aliens want their ideologies to replace our Constitution but Americans haven’t figured out a good reason or a good way to tell them or their water carriers, “No.”

          Our inability to defeat their ideas promotes disunity, disharmony and allows our nation’s enemies to continue their Jihad..

          There can never be adequate laws or rules against hiring Terrorist.

    If one aids/abets a criminal, that one is also a criminal. If one supports the idea that criminals should have all the “rights and privileges” that a person who has never committed a crime is allowed, that one is a criminal for supporting said criminals.
    Anyone who supports a terrorist, is a terrorist.

    And the Florida woman who said that one of the moslims shown above might just blow up the house, and was heavily criticized for saying it, was correct.

    Supporting the terrorists who wish to be in a position to blow up a plane, or an airport full of people…while getting paid by the people they intend to murder, the citizens who pay taxes and buy tickets .. is supporting terrorism. Supporters of terrorism are terrorists.

    According to the feature article:

    “Democrats today…believe…that Donald Trump is “racist” for wanting to protect Americans from jihad terror attacks by foreign nationals…”

    If Democrats want to erroneously believe that President Donald Trump is “racist”, LET THEM.

    Pres. Donald Trump wants to protect ALL Americans – and, ironically. even the ones who absolutely hate him.

    Those four hideous characters shown in the above photo are literally picture example ofwhat is known as “TheRed/Green Allaince.”

    Even the concept of someone who had been a convicted Muslim terrorist being allowed to behired by the TSA ,regardless that he might have served his time ans claims that he has “changed” his ideas and beliefs ,is madness and folly.

    After all hemight be faking his “change” his ways .As he might br practing ,Taqyyia” Islamic deception in order to infultrate the TSA for the jihad.
    .

    As for that completely unfeeling and un-American character is that Muslim politician in the above picture,Ilan Omar, truly is. For she had referred to those murderous jihadists affronts which occurred on September 11, 2001 are the results of “Some people did something”

    Maybe Omar is so very vicious that she might actually want “some other people ,jihadists, to do something” As engage in another type of 9/11 ? Is Omar really that evil ? Maybe she is .

    tgusa: Thanks for the link to Refugee Resettlement Watch.

    Why hasn’t the secretary of state been fired?

    Why hasn’t the secretary of state been sued wrongful death class action?

    Is the Dept of State and Homeland Security, tracking these immigrants and gimmiegrants to be tested?

    How many have tested positive?

    And if so quarantined?

    The Department of state does not care about us.

    It’s very clear now. The Democrat party is in an alliance with Muslims. The Muslims vote Democrat and send money, the Democrats give the Muslims special privileges.

    This story tells me that we have not done a very good job of conveying to the Libs why Muslims should be considered questionable security risks.

    Instead, we have been talking about how Islam is a cult and that Mohammed was a pedophile.

    Both have merit in a casual discussion, but many Dems and Libs really do not know WHY we oppose Muslims.

    We should use only good, solid reasons so they might wake up to the real reasons we are anti-Islamization..

    The Religion of Peace

    Sharia
    (Islamic Law)
    If you liked Jim Crow, you’ll love Sharia
    Sharia is Islamic Law.  It is the religious legal system that governs the political, social and moral duties of faithful Muslims.  It is what is meant by “God’s Law.”

    Sharia is based on the Sunnah – the way of life of Muhammad as recorded in the Hadith (traditions).  It is an organized body of rules derived from various Quran verses and historical narrations.

    Sharia is not optional; it is prescribed for believers (5:48).  Although Muslims as individuals often decide which parts to follow or ignore, the Quran (33:36) says that it is not fitting for a believer to choose for themselves (i.e., disregard) any matter already decided by Allah.

    Likewise, a government that limits God’s Law in any way is an enemy of Allah and must be fought.  The establishment of Sharia is a fundamental objective of every Islamic terror group.  Once an Islamic state is in place, the Quran (9:29) and Sharia (o9.8) make it mandatory for Muslims to fight those Jews and Christians who will not convert or accept inferior status.

    This reality is left out by proponents of Sharia in the West, who hide behind the cloak of religion and expose only the more benign personal rules (such as those dealing with prayer and hygiene).  This is to make it appear as if detractors are religious bigots whose real problem is intolerance for a different set of beliefs about God and worship.

    In fact, Sharia is explicitly opposed to religious freedom, freedom of conscience and the free exchange of ideas.  It is violent, openly bigoted toward non-Muslims, discriminatory, and unflinchingly sexist.  Large sections deal with the practice of slavery.  None of this changes by affixing a “phobia” label or otherwise insulting detractors.

      B.T. has done his homework. Sharia law will destroy freedom of mankind and result in living under a brutal “religious” dictatorship.

    First: remove every politician who has any degree of sympathy for Muslims. Second: deport Muslims from the civilized world. Third: destroy Islam in the Islamic hellholes.

      I will second this list of Do’s which are a complete necessity for Western Countries to get their Cultures back and our Human rights. They are now getting much stronger in most Christian counties and soon we will be losing the battle.

  14. OTTER says

    Women in politics, especially leftist women and Muslimas, have become a threat to national security. Evolution has not endowed women with a strong sense of who the enemy is, and when the women fall under the control of Islam, they become the enemy. These four are the very worse of the worst. Women are going to take this country down.

    And if you think I’m wrong, look at all the feminists, mostly white, mostly liberal, mostly divorced and certainly depressed. Some probably longing for the strong hand of Islam now that white men have been complicit in reneging all control over women in the normative sense.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 17, 2020 at 10:07 pm

      Uh…right–ignore all the Anti-Jihad women. If you hate women so much, why don’t you just convert to Islam now?

    It’s hardly surprising that Democrats would look out for their natural constituency.
