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

Failed Massachusetts congressional candidate: ‘I read the Koran in Arabic loudly while Trump2020 trucks rolled by’

Sep 5, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

You joined in prayer as I read the Koran in Arabic publicly and loudly in #Taunton while Trump2020 trucks rolled by.

Our movement has only began. It is still in your hands to continue the work, and I have your backs all the way.

— Ihssane Leckey for Congress (@ihssaneleckey) September 2, 2020

Ihssane Leckey was a candidate for Congress in Massachusetts’ fourth congressional district. In the primary last Tuesday, she finished fifth (the winner was Jake Auchincloss). After her defeat, she took to Twitter to thank her followers and boast of her accomplishments, which included: “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, it’s interesting that Ihssane Leckey apparently thinks that the Muslim holy book is the property of one segment only of the political spectrum, 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 she 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.

    I just can’t figure out why our Governments supports Communists and Muslims thinking that will fix our problems of corruption and make things better for everyone??? Don’t they know we had the best? Reading the naked Capitalist – but this makes no sense to me…

    Any resistance to the JIHAD-TERROR-WAR against the dirty kufaar (for the sake of Allah) is falsely claimed by pious Muslims and their Leftard allies to be ‘anti-Muslim’ … even though opposing the political act of jihad means opposing a violent political ideology.

    Muslims who refuse to participate in jihad against the kufaar are not a problem.

  4. mortimer says

    Ihssane Leckey is committing VERBAL JIHAD … fighting for Islamic supremacism and political dominance using words.

    All Muslims commit VERBAL JIHAD when the cloak, lie, and dissemble about the MEANING and METHODS of JIHAD.

    Muslims lie about and conceal jihad in order to put the kufaar into a state of presumed, false security, so they will disarm themselves ideology for the effects of jihad.

    Leftarded allies of the jihadists do most of the work of RATIONALIZING AWAY the adverse effects of jihad to non-Muslims who gradually lose their human rights and civil liberties under creeping, stealth Sharia.

    Just a reminder to all Americans before they vote, please think about the cultural destruction planned by radical groups like Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the Democratic Socialists of America’s and CAIR. Again I quote Syed Abdul Ala Maududi founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood hoods:

    “Non-Muslims have absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s Earth nor to Direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines. If they do, the believers would be under an obligation to DISLODGE them from political power and then live in subservience to the ISLAMIC WAY OF LIFE”. Will you vote for a Muslim?

    Today the lovers of Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Engles Heidegger and Hitler have planned protests in many
    American cities. The likes of Brother Cornel West, the Harvard, Princeton, so called education man is urging protesters to come out and support the radical groups who are chanting “Trump and Pence out NOW”.

    PUSH BACK PEOPLE AND DO IT NOW – CHERISH YOUR FREEDOM.

    The facts speak for themselves. This is who supports her:

    Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN)

    “Building progressive power means electing candidates like Ihssane Leckey who are ready to help build a system that lifts up everyone and reflects the diversity of our country.”

    I see in one of her tweets she is talking about “putting an end to racism,islamophobia and antisemitism”.That’s super.. except for the fact that there is no such thing as ‘islamophobia’ ,and criticism of islam is not racism{as islam is not a race}

    As for antisemitism:she must begin with the ‘holy’ koran then.

    Perhaps while she is boasting about reading the koran{..In Arabic:so what?do you get extra marks?..} she might tell us about koran 2:65

    “And ye know of those of you who broke the sabbath,how WE said unto them;
    Be ye apes,despised and hated”
    Koran 2:65

    That is referring to Jews:sounds pretty antisemitic to me.

    I’ll bet she missed koran 98:6 where allah says non muslims are ‘the WORST of created beings”
    or koran 5:51 ‘take not the Jews and Christians for friends”

    And is that ….’Jewish voice for peace action’ *supporting her, a people the koran says are ‘to be despised and hated’ in koran 2:65?

    *or as I prefer to call them: “Jews for Sahih Muslim 6985”

    Maybe Leckey should stick with Arabic since her use of the English language is atrocious. She writes, “Our movement has only began.” Even a fourth grade student knows that “began” is the past tense of the verb and by utilizing a form of the verb “to have” means she should have used the perfect tense “begun.” I know that I and many others here at JW make mistakes but we are not public debaters.

    • Keith O says

      Ray, Her use of the English language is pathetic to say the least, but that’s OK because it matches her understanding of ethics and common sense.
      She obviously has no concept of what she is so fixated on bringing into the country. Lets see how much of her freedom she has under sharia.
      Another “useful idiot” trying to bring about a system which would turn her into a 3rd or 4th class human overnight.

    • owensgate says

      Sep 6, 2020 at 10:18 am

      Maybe it’s some kind of “woke” English, since 2+2 can equal 5 in “woke” math, there can’t be much of a problem making “begun” equal to “began”, or a turnip, a cervix, or whatever.

    Muslims’ moral compass is so badly damaged that they cannot see that Jihad transgresses any normal human moral code. They are so attached to their evil Islam commanded Jihad that they an see only personal attacks where only moral outrage exists.

    ……………….

    Maybe that’s part of the reason she lost. What a tool…

      gravenimage,

      Correct.

      Even “deep blue state” Massachusetts hasn’t sunk quite that low yet…

        Yep.
