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

Failed Congressional Candidate Boasts of Reading Qur’an ‘Loudly’ As Trump2020 Trucks Passed

Sep 14, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 20 Comments

My latest in PJ Media:

Is the Qur’an simply the holy book of one of the world’s great religions, and hence a revered part of our glorious multicultural mosaic, or is it a weapon for only one part of our political spectrum? Ihssane Leckey, a far-left candidate for Congress in Massachusetts’ fourth congressional district, offers an answer. In the primary September 1, she finished fifth (the winner was Jake Auchincloss). In yet another manifestation of the leftist/Islamic alliance, she took to Twitter after her defeat and offered unusual praise for her followers: “You joined in prayer as I read the Koran in Arabic publicly and loudly in #Taunton while Trump2020 trucks rolled by.”

As more and more Muslims are elected to various offices and are sworn in on the Qur’an, and all who are skeptical about the wisdom of swearing to uphold the law on a book that sanctions lying under some circumstances, it’s noteworthy that Ihssane Leckey apparently thinks that the Muslim holy book is the property of leftists only — a partisan vehicle. She also seems to think of it as a weapon in a spiritual battle, a battle in which the enemies are Trump and his supporters, who are cast in this scenario as the enemies of Islam.

Presumably Ihssane Leckey thinks of this act as somehow standing up to Trump’s supposedly “anti-Muslim” stance, which is, of course, really a stance against jihad violence and the entry into the country of people among whom is an unknowable number of jihadis. Being a far-left candidate, Leckey is also here cementing the close alliance between leftists and Islamic groups in the U.S. Both seem to envision the same kind of future for the nation.

The hijab-wearing, Sharia-observant Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) made this clear last Monday when she declared that “we are in the midst of an ongoing uprising over centuries of racial neglect and oppression.” The irony of being a sitting Congresswoman charging with racism the country that welcomed her as a refugee and gave her every opportunity for advancement was apparently lost on Omar, and not for the first time.

Most notoriously, last year Omar complained: “Here’s the truth. For far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen. Frankly, I’m tired of it. And every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it. CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was actually founded in 1994, but let that pass. The primary question, largely ignored in the furor over her referring to the 9/11 jihad attacks as “some people did something,” was this: How did a person who was part of a despised minority group, treated as a second-class citizen and deprived of civil liberties, get elected to Congress? How was she even able to enter politics at all? How did she become a hero of the American left?

      Someone tell her to read these verses ‘LOUDLY’:

      K.9.5. And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. (Use threats of violence to force people to join Islam.)
      K.2:191 And kill them wherever you find them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah [Persecution] is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers. (Take vengeance against people who resist Islam.)
      K.33:60 “Truly, if the Hypocrites stir up sedition (resist Islam), if the agitators in the City do not desist, We shall urge you to GO AGAINST THEM and set you over them. Then they WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STAY as your neighbors for any length of time. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized and SLAIN WITHOUT MERCY – a fierce slaughter – murdered, a horrible murdering.”
      K.5.33. “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned;
      K.9:3 “Allah is not bound by any contract or treaty with non-Muslims, nor is His Apostle.”
      K.8:1 “They ask you about the benefits of capturing the spoils of war. Tell them: ‘The benefits belong to Allah and to His Messenger.’”
      K.28:86 says, “Therefore lend not thou support in any way to those who reject Allah’s Message.”
      K.61:4 “Allah loves those who fight, like a brick wall, His cause.”
      K.47:4: “Strike off the heads of the disbelievers” and, after making a “wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives.”
      K.8:12: “Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers”
      K.28:86 Do not support al kafiroon in any way.

    Here’s how Leckey describes herself on her site:

    Ihssane is an immigrant, survivor, and Wall Street regulator running for Congress to bring transformative change to Massachusetts’ 4th Congressional District.
    …

    Survivor of what, one may ask? Who cares, it has the appropriate buzz word…

    Check out the poster ‘No Hate,No Fear’

    That’s a nice cuddly wuddly sentiment but you see islam has a Doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal baraa} and refers to all non-muslims as ‘the WORST of created beings” koran 98:6 in the book of terror ,the koran, with its 164 Jihadist verses.

    islam is a religion of hate and fear and yet here she is in a protest which she thinks is against fear and hate.

    muslims just don’t get Irony.

    I guess she probably didn’t read the ‘very,very awkward’ bits of the koran which are found when you do a deep dive into its murky depths.
    I propose she read out koran 98:6,read it out LOUD and let the infidels listen very carefully…or koran 2 :65 about the Jews who her Arab god allah insists are ‘to be despised and HATED’

    Ihssanc Leakey is yet an other far-left candidate for congress. Of course this top main article further explain this is a further aspect of that what it called the”Leftist/Islamic alliance.”

    Another ,somewhat similar and sinister movement is the Marxist/ Islamic union that is known as the “Red /Green alliance,” by seen in Afrifa and BLM.

    About those two violent red /green terror entities and Facebook, on this current date of 9/14/20 just tonight I received another E -mail notice for Facebook that it removed my postings about Antifia and BLM because in claim that by essay went against its “Community standards” so it removed my posting from public.view.

    The point is my posting was only keyboarded truth that those two domestic terror groups Antifa and BLM are vicious violent and destructive and that those members of those terrible organization don’t ever create or make anything that is good of value or worth . That they are only destructive and never constructive, they only destroy.

    That obvious truth is what violated the C,S, of Facebook.

    It’s trash. But people who adore and elevate “faith” of any kind will continue to ram virtually any expression of it down our throats no matter how vile, perverse, violent, and generally idiotic.

      Actually, the idea that all people who are religious violently support the horrors of Islam is quite mistaken.

      revereridesagain,

      You are overgeneralizing.

      You reference “faith” of *any* kind described as vile, perverse, violent, and generally idiotic.

      All of that certainly applies to islam, but not to the other large religious groups such as Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism. They are factually not vile, perverse, or violent.

      You have an opinion that they are idiotic – and that is your right, and I certainly support that people have this valued right – even though, in regards to Christianity, I disagree with it.

      And I am a devout Christian.

    The unholy book Qur’an should never be allowed as a replacement for the Bible when swearing in elected officials of this country. When politicians use the Qur’an to take an oath of allegiance thay are swearing to uphold the Islamic unholy book of Islam and nothing else.

      OLD GUY,

      100% correct.

      Could a politician be sworn in with their hand on a copy of Mein Kampf?

      I can’t believe that being sworn in to public office with a koran is permitted in the United States…

    …we are in the midst of an ongoing uprising over centuries of racial neglect and oppression. Ilhan Omar

    … says the woman who has had every opportunity for success in our nation as a member of congress and a citizen.

    The current thrust of the left’s thinking is predicated on the false notion of modern day racism. They are capitalizing on the questionable death of one serial criminal to defame their political critics and shame white America. They are drumming up old national wounds for the same reason, and in the process are setting back race relations 40 years. Why do we only hear about white’s alleged racism, is there not one racist black or brown person in this nation? Personally I think the “anti-racist” group BLM are actually more racist than anybody. They are actually motivated by race, to riot, pillage, and disparge others “whiteness.” I think the real underlying problem is they hate themselves. They don’t even respect themselves, they call themselves “ni**er” all the time–low self image. We whites are constantly shamed with our “White privelege,” but where I live 80% of workers are black, is that not a case of “black privilege”? How many black millionaires in every walk of life are there in this nation? tons, that’s how many. They are honored and respected as much as any white.

    BLM and the Critical Race Theory are perfect allies to supremacists like Ilhan Omar. They bolster her empty claims of victimhood to gain sympathy and leverage over her political opponents. It’s a perfect fit, because everyone knows that muslims are victims in our current leftist world. Anyone who speaks against violent islam is a racist, didn’t you know that? The tactic of leftists like her is to signify humanity’s sin of slavery from long ago, and with the aid of fancy terms like “migroaggressions,” and “social construction,” and “Intersectionality and anti-essentialism,” (whatever THAT means) we whites are rendered disreputable and susceptible to the wrath of blacks, who see white America as the perfect scapegoat for their failures and unhappiness. Nobody has been going around saying “black lives don’t matter,” these “anti-racists” are fighting an invisible enemy. Black lives DO matter as all lives matter. It’s morally wrong and an incitement for anyone, including Ilhan Omar, to provoke racial hatred and violence over false and exaggerated claims of racism. This is exactly what I would expect from subversive muslims; it suits their long term supremacist goals well to hitch their wagon to grossly exaggerated claims racial injustice. But it’s all basically a lie, based on a racially motivated revival past wrongs and exaggerated claims of modern day racism. They don’t want good race relations, they want to utilize race to muzzle our moral and legal objections against their subversive, criminal aims.

    The Qur’an is Mohammad’s Mien Kampf. It tells his followers to lie, cheat, steal, murder every non-follower in the world and to turn the world into the Middle East. Let’s face it, he lived in a cave for a number of years, then began his legacy by capturing Mecca after infiltrating its government–sound familiar?
