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

Muslim who once threatened to behead a rival with “the sword of Islam” launches petition to rename city of St. Louis

Jun 21, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Umar Lee is a convert to Islam from St. Louis, was once enough of an Islamic supremacist to write to a rival: “i could cut your neck with the sword of islam and watch you squeal like a bitch like daniel pearl.” In an email exchange with me, he endorsed the death penalty for apostasy. He is also an unstable personality who briefly returned to Christianity in 2013, only to become a Muslim again abruptly and under circumstances that were never explained. He has also been on record for years as a hater of America, writing back in 2009 that it was not permissible for Muslims to join an infidel army.

Now he is enjoying another moment in the spotlight due to the Leftist/jihadist alliance. Given the aggression and fanaticism of the Leftists who are tearing down statues these days, and the ignorant cowards on the other side who neither know their own history or are inclined to defend it, he may well get his wish. Make no mistake: this call to rename St. Louis is not based on Louis IX’s antisemitism. As far as Umar Lee and his cohorts are concerned, that is likely a mark in his favor. The problem with Louis IX is that he was a Christian, and not any ordinary Christian, but a Crusade leader. That will not do in our woke new world. Watch for the unveiling of Saladin, Missouri.

“Petition calls for St. Louis to be renamed, removal of statue on Art Hill,” by Sam Masterson, KMOX, June 19, 2020:

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – A petition has been made with hopes of changing the city’s name in St. Louis and taking down a statue of its namesake, Saint Louis IX in Forest Park. The creators say the city’s name is “outright disrespect” to Jewish and Muslim residents and they’re asking for support.

The petition on Change.org was started this week, after the statue of Christopher Columbus in Tower Grove Park was taken away. Local writer Umar Lee is a co-signer of the petition.

“For those unfamiliar with King Louis IX he was a rabid anti-semite who spearheaded many persecutions against the Jewish people. Centuries later Nazi Germany gained inspiration and ideas from Louis IX as they embarked on a campaign of murderous genocide against the Jewish people. Louis IX was also vehemently Islamophobic and led a murderous crusade against Muslims which ultimately cost him his life,” the petition states.

The statue of Louis IX, which now sits on top of Art Hill in front of the St. Louis Art Museum, was unveiled in 1906. It served as the symbol of St. Louis until the Gateway Arch was completed in 1965.

Louis IX is the only King of France to be canonized in the Catholic Church. He became king when he was 12-years-old and is credited with changing the judicial process in France, with trials no longer being settled by combat, but instead by evidence and Roman law.

He was also known as a devoted Catholic, who ordered the burning of some 12,000 manuscript copies of the Talmud and other Jewish books.

“I ask all people of good faith committed to the modern values of equity and coexistence to sign this petition to rename the City of St. Louis to something more suitable and indicative of our values,” the petition states….

    How about Mohammedville, Missouri?

    The town will then honor the whitest prophet ever who owned, sold, leased and traded black slaves like there was no tomorrow. Mohammed inspired the biggest black slave trade in history resulting in the deaths of over 120 million black Africans.

    St. Louis was a French king who fought Islamic supremacism. We need more leaders who understand why we need to resist Islamic supremacism, because, if we don’t resist, the Islamic supremacists will impose DISCRIMINATION and PERSECUTION on all who disagree with them.

    Americans, RESIST or United States will soon look like the Islamic Republics of Pakistan or Iran.

      Hello Mortimer, I see you on here all the time and was wondering if you’d be interested in joining a discord server. We have the creator of Art of Imposture, Al Fadi, Sam Shamoun and tonnes of other fantastic people. Always like reading your comments so offer is there if you want; you’d fit in perfectly.

          Yes gravenimage, I made that to put up any revelant theological articles that wouldn’t suit Jihad Watch. If you want to join too, please feel free to join. The link is https://discord.gg/TWr2dR. I don’t run the server but i’m involved a lot on it and it’s a fantastic kind of HQ for our cause. Just tell them I sent you the link when they ask how you found the server.

      mortimer,

      “Mohammed inspired the biggest black slave trade in history resulting in the deaths of over 120 million black Africans.”

      The vast majority of people have no idea that this has happened – particularly African-Americans.

      Perhaps with maximum exposure, a book, a documentary, etc., maybe the Blacks in the West will finally turn against islam – and start demanding the tearing down of mosques, etc.

      An opportunity?

        Dear J.L., getting the message out is hard. Here is a video that I recommend on the topic of discrimination against Africans by Mohammed:

        • mortimer says

          Jun 22, 2020 at 4:46 pm

          J.L., kindly try this one too and send to black friends:

          One more video to refute so-called black Islam … Islam is a slave culture.

    I recall reading about this guy when he went back to Christianity. He was completely fed up with Islam. He must have gone back to it because he gets notoriety and is fetished as a “white Muslim”. That makes him a kind of racist too. He’s really just a pathological narcissist, a ticking timebomb.

    They will want to rename St. Paul in Minnesota too. There are numerous cities in the state of Missouri named after Catholic saints: St. Peters, St. Charles, St. Ann, St. Genevieve, St. Joseph. The area was settled by French Catholics. The Muslims will be calling for all of these towns to be renamed. Not all saints were perfect. Louis IX lived in a different era. Everyone from that time is now dead. Get over it. If you don’t like it, move somewhere else.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 21, 2020 at 10:59 pm

      True, CogitoErgoSum. Then there is San Francisco, San Antonio, etc etc–settled by Spanish Catholics, in California and all over the southwest to Texas.

    Did he have a new name proposed for the city? New Istanbul? Or something equally quaint?

    For those of you who thought London was the capital city of the England. Its not anymore. Its now commonly known as Londonistan. And one of the great city’s of Yorkshire is well known now as Bradfordistan 🙂

    It’s same like we have a street called Aurangzeb Road in India near parliament Aurangzeb intruded India in 17th century and killed millions of Hindus with the sword of Islam demolished more than 50000 temples and main universities in India he demolished the temple of somnath people of that era offered him money not to demolished the temple which was the 1000 times more than the worth of temple
    He said if I will accept your money then what will I say to my Allah then 40000 Hindus fought with him but he had a army of 400000 and he killed every hindu there and demolished that prestigious temple too.He imposes Zazia tax according to Islam in no believers for using the roads and other things in 17th century
    And in India we have a street called AURANGZEB ROAD we are fighting against it and finger crossed sooner or later the name will be change we let it happened from many centuries please do not let it happen in your country guys
    In 14th century they was same cruel, barbaric and cunning in 21st century they are same and you all know the reason it’s KORAN

    Yeah, who else is not only rabidly anti-Semitic (anti-Jewish, in this case) and rabidly anti-Christian? As well as being rabidly anti-anyone who’s not a moslem??? You guessed it, Mohammad, and all his rabid, psychotic followers, including this idiot, Umar Lee.

    Just ludicrous.

    And we all know that Umar Lee would be fine with beheading Jewish people.

    ”I ask all people of good faith committed to the modern values of equity and coexistence to sign this petition to rename the City of St. Louis to something more suitable and indicative of our values”
    You bet! And since you and I are obviously on the same truth bent you should sign my petition as well. I ask all people of good faith committed to the modern values of equity and coexistence to sign this petition to rename Islam as Murder Incorporated as a reflection of its values.

    Typical criminal convert to islam. And just what are their values? Murder, rape, child molestation, looting, theft, destruction of private property, etc. Wow what a great improvement for mankind, back to the caveman lifestyle.
