I’ve been warning about this guy for years. Now he is openly calling for sedition and violence.
But this is really no surprise. Reza Aslan, well-known cannibal, is a former CNN host who was fired for prematurely revealing that they’re a propaganda ministry, not a news outlet. He also exhorted readers in his last book to take the advice of the oldest and most celebrated self-improvement coach, Satan: “take a lesson from Adam and Eve and eat the forbidden fruit. Do not fear God. You are God.” But besides this hubris and arrogance, Reza Aslan for years been active with organizations linked to violent jihad terror groups. A reminder:
Reza Aslan is a Board member of a lobbying group for the bloodthirsty and genocidally antisemitic Iranian regime; tried to pass off Iran’s genocidally-minded former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a liberal reformer; called on the U.S. Government to negotiate with Ahmadinejad himself, as well as with the jihad terror group Hamas; praised the jihad terror group Hizballah as “the most dynamic political and social organization in Lebanon”; praised also the anti-Semitic, misogynist, Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated in its own words, according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within”; and has also applauded and called for the forcible shutdown of the free speech of those who hates — a quintessentially thuggish and fascist impulse.
Aslan has on several occasions come out strongly for Hamas. He denies that he is doing so, of course, but in practically the same breath energetically parrots Hamas propaganda about Israel targeting civilians, even claiming, risibly, that there is no evidence that Hamas is using human shields. When he says such things, he can trust that the mainstream media has not reported obvious examples of Hamas’s lies and disinformation, much less the fact that Hamas openly avows that it uses human shields so as to provoke civilian casualties that can be used to demonize Israel. Here is an account of his exchange with Bill Maher — even Maher found Aslan’s cheerleading for Hamas tough to swallow.
Aslan is also notoriously hate-filled and has shown a propensity for violence before. He was in the thick of the media savaging of a group of Kentucky high school students were accosted by a Native American activist; Aslan called for violence against the student most prominently featured in circulating videos of the incident. When Dinesh D’Souza called him out on it, Aslan doubled down by saying he wanted to assault D’Souza:
This shouldn’t come as any surprise to those who are familiar with Aslan’s rancid public career. That this sinister jihad enabler was ever given a mainstream platform is a dispiriting sign of the times. His show on CNN was devoted to showing other religions as violent and hateful, and Islam as benign and peaceful. Also, Aslan is a Board member of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). NIAC has been established in court as a lobbying group for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Said Michael Rubin: “Jamal Abdi, NIAC’s policy director, now appears to push aside any pretense that NIAC is something other than Iran’s lobby. Speaking at the forthcoming ‘Expose AIPAC’ conference, Abdi is featured on the ‘Training: Constituent Lobbying for Iran’ panel. Oops.” Iranian freedom activist Hassan Daioleslam “documented over a two-year period that NIAC is a front group lobbying on behalf of the Iranian regime.” NIAC had to pay him nearly $200,000 in legal fees after they sued him for defamation over his accusation that they were a front group for the mullahs, and lost. Yet Aslan remains on their Board.
Meanwhile, despite his increasingly obvious Islamic heterodoxy, Aslan remains popular with Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups in the U.S.: he has also spoken at events sponsored by the Muslim Students Association, a Brotherhood group, as well as at an event co-sponsored by the Los Angeles chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Doubtless they recognize that he shares their overall agenda.
Not surprisingly, after a trip to Israel he lied about being threatened by Shin Bet.
Aslan is as stupid as he is evil. It’s also worth noting that despite being hailed as a great intellect, Aslan isn’t actually very bright. He is, in fact, a borderline imbecile who frequently states howlingly false errors of fact, but is, never called out for them by his friends in the establishment media. He has made the ridiculous claim that the idea of resurrection “simply doesn’t exist in Judaism,” despite numerous passages to the contrary in the Hebrew Scriptures. He has also referred to “the reincarnation, which Christianity talks about” — although he later claimed that one was a “typo.” In yet another howler he later insisted was a “typo,” he claimed that the Biblical story of Noah was barely four verses long — which he then corrected to forty, but that was wrong again, as it is 89 verses long. Aslan claimed that the “founding philosophy of the Jesuits” was “the preferential option for the poor,” when in reality, that phrase wasn’t even coined until 1968. He called Turkey the second most populous Muslim country, when it is actually the eighth most populous Muslim country. He thinks Pope Pius XI, who issued the anti-fascist encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge, was a fascist. He thinks Marx and Freud “gave birth to the Enlightenment,” when it ended in the late 18th century, before either of them were born. He claims that “the very first thing that Muhammad did was outlaw slavery,” when in fact Muhammad bought slaves, took female captives as sex slaves, and owned slaves until his death. He thinks Ethiopia and Eritrea are in Central Africa.
A “renowned religious scholar” such as Reza Aslan should not make such elementary mistakes. But this is, of course, the man who writes “than” for “then”; apparently thinks the Latin word “et” is an abbreviation; and writes “clown’s” for “clowns.”
“After RBG’s Death, Left-Wing Activists Promise Violence If Trump Appoints Her Replacement,” by Tristan Justice, The Federalist, September 18, 2020:
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away Friday night at the age of 87 due to complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Moments after news broke of her passing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged a full Senate vote on the nominee of President Donald Trump’s choosing with the election looming less than 50 days away.
“If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire fucking thing down,” wrote liberal writer Reza Aslan.
“We’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election,” warned Writers Guild of America President Beau Willimon.
“If Mitch McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots,” threatened Laura Bassett whose work has been published in GQ Magazine and the Washington Post…

That was Jeff Zucker’s thinking, if he does that. Think about it, a Jihadist on one of our major TV networks. Now that’s power. Years ago then-president of the Islamic Republic of Iran Mahmoud gave a speech during which he dreamt of detonating an EMP bomb over the eastern U.S. launched from one of the fake freighters from which they surveil us. Where was Reza on that telling event? Well, he was on board and down with that thought. Better watch out.

Regarding ‘burning’ things…
Normally I wouldn’t be too keen on burning books but after Hatun Tash was removed from Speakers Corner recently for ‘blasphemy’ by the morally bankrupt police of Britainistan{formerly the UK}at the request of baying mobs of islam-infected koranic animals,i really do understand why the koran deserves to be incinerated.
The ‘holy’ koran is an immoral false scripture of unspeakably evil filth.
The ‘holy prophet’ muhammed{YHWH burn his diseased islam-infected soul}was a murderous,polygamous,child raping animal.
islam’s god ‘allah’ {muhamed’s sock puppet}is a demon and the followers of islam are barbaric savages
islam: a false god ,a false scripture and a false prophet
muslims:’islam is the true religion’
Not if it has a false god,false scripture and a false prophet

Islam is the most evil belief system in the world and very much tied into the demonic realm. Someday Islam and its adherents throughout the ages will suffer in eternal damnation. Also Reza Aslan should be escorted out of the USA or imprisoned in permanent solitary confinement for his filth and evil.
owensgate says
Where on Earth does this magnitude of hatred come from? This disgusting little hellion’s fifteen minutes of fame ran out years ago. He should look down from the farthest edge of the Left he is dangling from, and know it’s the pit of Hell he’s seeing. Somebody whack his fingers.
But more to the point, now we will be hearing demands from the “Harris-Biden” camp, that the next Justice must be “A woman of Color”. The “Court” will surely LOOK good, but the decisions will be abysmal. Qualifications and ability to correctly “Interpret” the Constitution be damned, “merit” is racist.
mortimer says
Response to owensgate: (where does this magnitude of hatred come from?)
It comes from AL WALAA WAL BARAA:
AL BARAA is NORMATIVE ISLAM, rather than an aberration.
‘Baraa’ is HATRED directed towards Kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’…Al Bughoud or Al Mu’adaat (hatred) is the opposite of Al Muwalaat (love towards Muslims). Baraa is:
– To Hate
– To keep distance from
– To be enemy to
– To desert
– To decline to help
– To disrespect
– To put down
– Not to ally with
– Not to support
Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk.
-Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
– “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.
– from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”
– K. 28:86 says: “Lend not thou support in any way to those who reject Allah’s Message.”
– In the matter of relations with kafirs, a Muslim should “…act like you are his friend. THEN KILL HIM.” – Sheikh Muburak Gilani
NOTE: IF YOU DON’T KNOW ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’, YOU DON’T KNOW ISLAM. Learn it.
mortimer says
REZA ASLAN REMOVES THE MASK OF ‘BENIGN’ ISLAM.
Aslan is promoting the violence and terrorism that Mohammed called for.
(‘I was made victorious through terror.’ – Mohammed)
Aslan is also promoting the 164 jihad verses in the Koran.
The Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses: K 2:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 3:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 4:71-72, 74-077, 84, 89-91, 94-95,100-104; 5:33, 35, 82; 8:1, 5, 7, 9-10, 12, 15-17, 39-48, 57-60, 65-75; 9:5, 12-14, 16, 19-20, 24-26, 29, 36, 38-39, 41, 44, 52, 73, 81, 83, 86, 88, 92, 111, 120, 122-123; 16:110; 22:39, 58, 78; 24:53, 55; 25:52; 29:6, 69; 33:15, 18, 20, 23, 25-27, 50; 42:39; 47:4, 20, 35; 48:15-24; 49:15; 59:2, 5-8, 14; 60:9; 61:4, 11, 13; 63:4; 64:14; 66:9; 73:20; 76:8.
Normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

I have the greatest respect for you, but some of those verses urge retaliation. For example, 2:178-179; 2:190-191 refers to slaying aggressors.
2:216 seems quite clear. “Fighting (edited) is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and love a thing although it is bad for you. God knows, but you know not.
[so God says don’t use your God-given brain. Just do as you are told. submission is easy. This is a lot of fun. When I dictated fighting is obligatory the words which appeared on the screen were farting is obligatory for you]
Some say that there are 109 jihad versus. Now that I have purchased a Holey (sic) Koran, I am going to do my own tally.
IIRC Robert Spencer once stated that there is something objectionable on every page. So far I am finding that to be the case. The amount of gibberish is incredible.
roasted vegetables says
your first mistake is assuming aggressors are ones who physically fight you, read qur’an 60:2 it says those who fight you are doing it with their tongues, so simply calling out the immorality of muhammads character constitutes in KILLING you, and your second mistake is calling the book holy, no where in or on that book is the word holy, “Muqudis” is arabic means holy, the book is called “al-qu’ran al-kareem” meaning generous. here’s a challenge, find 1 verse in qur’an that shows an example of “Love” towards disbelievers. and if you try to give me 60:8 where is says “Alllah does Not forbid you (meaning the believer) from those who do not fight you and expel you from their homes from acting Righteous Towards them indeed Allah loves those who deal in Justice, YOU BETTER ask yourself what does it mean to treat a DISBELIEVERS is ISLAMIC JUSTICE and Islamic RIGHTEOUSNESS towards a Kuffar, Allah does NOT FORBID YOU from Islamic RIGHTEOUSNESS / JUSTICE.

This is *quite* true. “Retaliation” can be against Infidels for saying something critical about Islam, or for simply not converting to Islam.

Reza needs to channel his self-hating repressed homosexual energies towards something positive instead of attempting to bury his feelings by furthering the proto Nazi idealogy of Islam.
Just Venting says
We live in interesting times. I would recommend that any threats that come from this guy or others be taken seriously.
Those out front making the loud noises are not the real threats. I suspect that there are some waiting quietly for what appears to be the right time to act. Remember those so-called “spontaneous protests” that were really distractions from the well organized looting and violence squads?
Did you know that in some of these areas, rental trucks and trailers were driven to the areas to be looted, and organized groups went into targeted businesses to clean them out? This obviously had to be set up in advance. Weapons caches have been found prepositioned for the “peaceful protesters.”
This is all open source info gathered from various news sources, including MSM, local radio, and TV.
The name of the game appears to be “Destabilize the USA.” Anything and everything will be used as an excuse to make it near impossible to have an election this fall with a clear cut winner in multiple elected offices.
These professional miscreants could care less about RBG. She is just another excuse to disrupt the USA.

Contact your Representative in Washington and let that person know that you support filling the vacancy ASAP.
You can be sure the left will do everything in its power to prevent that from happening before November, 3, 2020. The left can’t afford to have another person on the Supreme Court who honors the “original intent” of the Constitution of the United States of America and the “rule of law.”

Reza Aslan ate human brains, while Profiling Hindu Aghori Cannibals. It makes me wonder if he is experiencing early signs of Creuzfeld-Jacob disease with his bizarre personality. Cannibalism is one of the implicated methods of transmission for abnormal prions, causing the disease. He was fired from the the Communist National Network.

The calls for violence have been very widespread by the BLM/Antifa creeps on the internet. It’s time for people to arm themselves and form self-protection militias, because it’s obvious by now that the authorities won’t act appropriately in many locations, and should the Democrats win, the situation could worsen.
James Lincoln says
jewdog,
Your concerns are valid, even though – currently – most parts of the country can still count on law enforcement.
But, if things take a significant turn for the worse, you can’t count on the cavalry to come.

This is interesting. It’s said that Reza Aslan converted from Twelver Shiism to Evangelical Christianity when he was 15, then converted back to Islam before attending Harvard Divinity School. Now he says this:
“take a lesson from Adam and Eve and eat the forbidden fruit. Do not fear God. You are God.”
To a Christian, Aslan is speaking almost exactly as the Old Serpent himself. But, I wonder what some Ithna’ashariyya Shi’ah clerics would say if he made such a statement in their hearing? Whatever else it seems to do , Islam in all of its schools still seems to respect the Creator-Creature difference–even if so much more that I see in Islam is otherwise blasphemous.
As for his threat to burn things down if RBG is replaced (which is, after all, any sitting president’s prerogative), let’s hope he’s being a typical loudmouth. Otherwise, I hope the FBI or someone takes such a threat seriously.
BTW, it seems that a lot of the Antifa and BLM demonstrators that get arrested are out-of-towners, and seem to be moved around the country. Maybe there aren’t really that many of them.
