Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Hamas-linked CAIR’s Zahra Billoo are enraged over this, because Joy Reid has departed from the script. The establishment media narrative is that Islam is a religion of peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. Joy Reid here reveals that Leftists know very well that jihadis engage in “violent talk and encourage their supporters to be willing to commit violence,” although she would no doubt excoriate anyone else who dared to say so. She will fall into line with a fulsome apology soon.

“Trump Calls Upon MSNBC to Fire Joy Reid After She Compares His Supporters to ‘Muslims,’” by Lindsey Ellefson, The Wrap, September 2, 2020:
President Trump has called upon MSNBC to fire “ReidOut” host Joy Reid for comparing his supporters to radicalized “Muslims.”
“Like Fredo at Fake News @CNN, the very untalented Joy Reid should be fired for this horrible use of the words ‘Muslim Terrorists’. Such xenophobia and racism on MSDNC. Anyone else would be gone, and fast!!!” he tweeted Wednesday morning.
Trump actually misquotes Reid in the tweet. At no point did she say “terrorists.”
What Reid actually said Monday was this: “Leaders — let’s say in the Muslim world — talk a lot of violent talk and encourage their supporters to be willing to commit violence, including on their own bodies, in order to win against whoever they decide is the enemy. We in the U.S. media describe them as they are ‘radicalizing’ those people — particularly when they’re radicalizing young people. That’s how we talk about the way Muslims act. When you see what Donald Trump is doing, is that any different from what we describe as radicalizing people?”
Trump was not the only elected official to speak out about the comments, either. Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, both of whom are members of the “Squad” in Congress and are Muslim, tweeted about the clip.
“Honestly, this kinda of [sic] casual Islamophobia is hurtful and dangerous,” wrote Omar. “We deserve better and an apology for the painful moment for so many Muslims around our country should be forthcoming.”
Tlaib followed up Omar’s comments, adding, “Words matter and these words feed into the harmful anti-Muslim rhetoric & actions that we continue to see in this country. It is even more painful to hear it from someone I admire. We deserve an apology.”…

Finally, someone noticed. I’ve been screaming my head off for a long time that violent Islamists have been influencing the Left but only my cat seems to listen to me. But who knows, maybe the cat will finally be let out of the bag.
Eleanor says
You are not alone – it is well known that Islam and the Left go together like a horse and carriage, although who is pulling who, we can only guess at. Islam are also supporters of BLM – I would go so far as to say they are in league with BLM.
PRCS says
“I would go so far as to say they are in league with BLM.”
Only so long as their association with the BLM useful idiots is to their advantage.
David Curtis says
I recon horse & manure fits better.

thank you I’ve been screaming it as well

Affirmative action is not a cure for Joys cognitive issues. This is hilarious because people have been comparing the left to islam for quite awhile now. Two very different ideologies that desire to force their wants and beliefs on everyone else. In the hope that islam would be their ally the left has reached out to muslims but if you examine the differences between islamic ideology and leftist ideology it is easy to see that there is no Joy in islam. It would be very hard to come up with a more un-islamic ideology than leftism. Like a runaway train the left are on a collision course with islam and yet they are oblivious. As is said, in real life you first get the test and then you get the lesson.
Witnessing what goes on in the islamic world only an idiot would not be anti-islamic.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Two very different ideologies that desire…
… to take over the world. Islam and Marxism are the two world takeover ideologies of significance.
Joy better watch it, playing with the truth like that. It’s no in her wheelhouse. Congrats to Trump for taking offense and comparing his supporters (like me) to Moslems. I take offense at it, but as a IslamoSavant I’m aware that the shots will never quit coming at me and the tens of millions like me.
tgusa says
Leftists in the media; Trump supporters are behaving like muslims.
Leftists on the street; Death to America.
Leftists in the media; Trump supporters will destroy democracy in the American Republic.
Leftists on the street; Death to America.
The left have one universal message, Trump and his supporters will wreck the USA, and btw, death to America.
If the left really believed that Trump and his supporters will be the death of America they would be voting for Trump.
James Lincoln says
tgusa,
Wow, I didn’t see that one coming!
PRCS says
“Two very different ideologies that desire to force their wants and beliefs on everyone else.”
Very true.
James Lincoln says
Joy Reid, unknowingly touched the third rail.
According to the Left, “thou shall not criticize islam”…
Rarely says
It’s hard, if not impossible, to distinguish between violence from the far left and violence from the far right — especially to those doing the dying.
PRCS says
CAIR is ‘disappointed’ that Reid has refusad to apologize.

Trump stumbles again
“Like Fredo at Fake News @CNN, the very untalented Joy Reid should be fired for this horrible use of the words ‘Muslim Terrorists,'” Trump tweeted. “Such xenophobia and racism on MSDNC. Anyone else would be gone, and fast!!!”

Sad but true. While President Trump has been pretty solidly anti-Jihad–a good thing and grimly not true of all Western leaders–he remains sadly ignorant of Islam itself and what it teaches.
tgusa says
Devils advocate? While I cannot be certain I believe that Trump is forcing the left live up to their own rules. Trump has already stated, “I think Islam hates us,”
PRCS says
One of these days he might even say–correctly–“I think Muslims hate us.”
gravenimage says
True, tgusa. Trump is still better than most in these sad days.

Joy Reid says Trump is ‘radicalizing young people…the way Muslims act’
……………..
Joy Reid, in her rush to smear Trump, has accidentally ‘stepped off the plantation’. Good grief. The Left eats its own.
GreekEmpress says
Will be interesting to see if the CAIR litigation jihad swings into action against Joy Reid.
Do you think she’ll apologize? Or will she grovel?
gravenimage says
She’s already apologizing–but those like Ilhan Omar claim that the apology is not abject enough yet:
“Joy Reid, MSNBC Host, Apologizes Again as More Incendiary Blog Posts Surface”
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/business/media/joy-reid-msnbc-apology.html
Turns out that Joy Reid is also a 9/11 “Truther”, claiming that the US is responsible for Jihad terror. Disgusting, but hardly surprising.
somehistory says
moslims….omar and tlaib, two very hideous creepies…want an “i’m sorry I spilled the beans of truth,” and the president wants her fired.
The stick of islam, the moslims playing rules: demand apologies from those who tell the Truth and demand murders and lies from the followers of islam.
We all need some popcorn, although it is **white,** and just wait and see who gets their wish.

mortimer says
A stupid Leftard denounced Trump by comparing him to jihadists. Sweet.
Such irony. The Left admits the truth about the jihad conspiracy once in a while and then, they go back to their lies.
Michael Garant says
go to antifa.com you”ll find out why possibly the dems denonce very sparingly violence in their cities by them.

Next she might say “Being beaten is a sign of love and concern”. Islamists state that women enJOY a good beating now and again.
This M-103 “thing” in Canada is not working out so well. Islamists—Women are stoned to death for being victims of rape. The rape must have bee; their fault – – they tempted the men, the way they dress.
“Sheikh Musleh Khan, Ontario “ The husband is the only leader of the family, the wife should be obedient to her husband at all times including when he calls her to bed; she should ask her husband permission before leaving the home and is obliged to serve her husband.”
Women’s minds are deficient the Muslim Brotherhood hoods will tell you. The poor souls could leave but they will be killed by their oppressors. What kind of a religion condones the oppression of women?
Does Joy know the Muslims fought along side with Hitlers cowards? She better tread lightly or we she will learn how much CAIR cares and totally destroys lives in the US, all in the name of “religion”.
OLD GUY says
Islam’s goal is world domination!
Islam will use anyone and everything they can to reach their goal.
David Darman says
What?? Trump puts down someone because she criticized Muslims/Islam! And in the process aligns with himself those legislators from the (Islamic) God Squad. Gee, I always thought Trump was fiercely anti-Islam. However, his comments reported here seem to be defending Islam and Muslims from around the world inasmuch as he labels Reid’s anti-Islamic remarks as racist and xenophobic.
I find it curious that RS should be reporting the Donald’s bad-mouthing of someone for making anti-Muslim remarks even if she compared Trump to the subjects of her remarks.
p.s. Someone ought to tell the Donald that Islam is not a race.
p.p.s. Does anyone else think that the Donald wants to eliminate a free press by urging the termination of someone who published an opinion he found offensive? Someone ought to the Donald about the relevance of the first amendment to the US Constitution which he has sworn to uphold.
gravenimage says
Robert Spencer has criticized Trump before for his cluelessness re Islam and his weak support for freedom of speech, dating back to the Mohammad Cartoon Contest.
E T says
No no no David Darman, read it again or get someone to read it to you.
David Darman says
Kindly help me out. What have I misread or failed to comprehend? I read:
“ ‘Like Fredo at Fake News @CNN, the very untalented Joy Reid should be fired for this horrible use of the
words ‘Muslim Terrorists’. Such xenophobia and racism on MSDNC. Anyone else would be gone, and
fast!!!’
he tweeted Wednesday morning.”
This strikes me as the Donald criticizing Reid for being xenophobic and racist because Reid condemned Muslim advocates of terrorism.
p.s. Do I really come across as illiterate or are you just manifesting the mean spiritedness of so many of RS’s sycophants here?
infidel says
This development is on expected lines and is nothing new. In India, Radical Islamists and their Lefty cronies regularly equate Patriotic forces with Islamists… This is their ploy to justify their terror.
E T says
If you read ActforCanada, there is a good article this week about the Canadian politicians empowering the Islamists. Too bad it was not a required reading, peoplekind would wake up to the barbarians plan.
David Darman says
Graven – thanks for that reminder of RS’s past criticism of Trump’s ignorance about Islam/jihad. This current reportage indicates Trump hasn’t learned much since the time of the incident you bring up unless, of course, ET can demonstrate how my I am misinterpreting Trump’s latest remarks.
ET…earth to ET…waiting for you to explain the significance of your latest puerile insult.
Also, still waiting for someone, anyone, to define “leftist.” The term is invoked here incessantly as the rationale/cause for all sorts of behavior, but I have yet to read anyone actually define it (without referencing jihad/Islam). This creates a lot of confusion when trying to constructively discuss sociopolitical issues. RS, if you happen to read this, would you please define what you mean by “leftism” or “leftist.” I think it might be helpful to raise the level of discourse.
