New in PJ Media:
Here is what you have been waiting for: the latest installment in the Candace Owens Wins New Respect From the Left drama that has been unfolding since Hamas massacred 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, and Owens quickly decided that it was all Israel’s fault. Now Owens has decided, in tandem with legions of leftists before her, that the true victims of the 9/11 jihad attacks were Muslims. This new stance is certain to win her hordes of new fans who will vote for Old Joe Biden in November, but that doesn’t move it any closer to being true.
Video began circulating Tuesday of Owens repeating all the hoariest shibboleths of Muslim victimhood as if they were her new discoveries. She claims that it was beaten into students (figuratively!) every day that “every Muslim was a terrorist.” When and where did this happen? It wasn’t even a week after 9/11 that George W. Bush went to a mosque in Washington and declared that “Islam is peace.” The media inundated us after 9/11 with material about how Muslims condemned 9/11 and were being victimized by counterterror measures.
Those of us who dared to note that Islamic texts and teachings contained justifications for violence against unbelievers, which is a readily provable fact, were put in the position of constantly having to affirm that not all Muslims were terrorists, and nevertheless were constantly accused of saying this despite never having said it. We were excoriated, deplatformed, and marginalized as “Islamophobes” anyway, while groups with demonstrable links to jihadis gained regular establishment media access and wide influence among government and law enforcement officials. No one beyond a few nuts was actually claiming that every Muslim was a terrorist.
Candace Owens is here repeating talking points that Islamic groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) perfected in the years following 9/11 in order to stymie and silence those who spoke the truth about the motives and goals of jihad terrorists. I very seriously doubt that she could document her claims here with any actual evidence whatsoever.
Nonetheless, Owens went on to issue a grandiose apology to Muslims on behalf of you and me and all the other people in the United States for how the Islamic community was allegedly treated in the immediate aftermath of 9/11:
I wanna say just, like, to all Muslims growing up during that time in America: I am sorry on behalf of America, for the way that you were treated, that it is so unacceptable. When I go back and reexamine that propaganda, that brainwashing that took place in the classroom to make me scared of something. I didn’t even know what a Muslim was, I remember going to the airport and someone was a Hindu, and I was scared of them…
There is more. Read the rest here.
Troybeam says
Islamophobia is a tool used by Muslims to have people think that not all Muslims are a threat, yea right.
It is so much easier for one Muslim to portray non violence yet get Muslims in a group with the one person who states they are non violent and how fast that person changes into a violent contender in that group.
Muslims took down the world trade center and other buildings in a terrorist attack on America, Muslims rejoiced the world over plus here in America so to apologize to them is just wrong. Apologizing is like bowing and submitting to Islam & that people is where many are wrong and should not apologize for being attacked in our own nation.
Our nation should not have taken in “refugees” from these Islamic nations, now we have a border where many Islamic men cross but no women and children. That should be a warning for everyone here in America: Be ready and keep the powder dry time is not on our side.

Other truisms by Candace Owens:
1. The American revolution was held so that American Jews could maintain slavery.
2. Native Americans vanished from the American plains because the Jews forced them out so they could build luxury condos and gambling casinos.
3. Internment camps were built to house Japanese Americans because the food was better than they were eating at LA’s Kosher delis.
4. Elvis and JFK are alive and well, converted to Islam and living together in a condo in the Marshall Islands.
5. The true Holocaust of the 20th century was when the Jews lined up the Armenians and injected them with syphilis for experimentation purposes.
6. Candace Owens’ bank account suddenly swelled after going public with her beliefs (this one might actually be true).
Sick Of It says
I kinda listened to her vids here and there.Thought she had some sanity.When it comes to politicians,any who want to stop Islamic immigration I would vote for.That is the Number 1 thing I look for in a politician.They are few and far between.Look at last Ramavan in Canada,Polivierre kissed the Muslims asses.At that point he was done.Trump is all the Weat has and I would gladly and openly fight in his army as my children’s lives are in peril with the fools in charge now!

I was pretty admiring of her in 2020 when she was one of the few Black voices standing up for those who opposed cancellation by the BLM thugs. Like, iirc, a White owned restaurant in the South that was being targeted by BLM, during which her GoFundMe account for that activity was shut down
But her admiration & defense of Kanya West certainly made me rather wary of her, and when she first started off about there being a moral equivalence b/w Israel and the Palis, that was it for me!

Candace Owens:
• Defended Kanye West after he made bigoted anti-Jewish comments
• In an interview with Tucker Carlson soon after the October 7th massacre of Israelis by Hamas and Hamas supporters, expressed shock and dismay that so many U.S. news outlets were lamenting the massacre of Israelis—foreign non-Americans
• In a post on X (Twitter), after Israel began to militarily attack Hamas in response to the October 7th massacre, indirectly accused Israel of commiting genocide
• In a post on X, indirectly condemned conservative Jewish commentator Ben Shapiro using Christian scripture after he said that she was behaving disgracefully in response to the October 7th massacre
• In a post on X, denied that she had been addressing Ben Shapiro with her previous post on X, and wrote, addressing Ben Shapiro, “The Bible is not about you.”
• Interviewed Holocaust minimizer* and libeler of Israel, nominally Jewish Norman Finkelstein, after Israel’s military response against Hamas after the October 7th massacre of Israelis by Hamas and Hamas supporters (* He has called Jewish people’s expressed remembrance of the Holocaust, “the Holocaust Industry”)
Daniel Bielak says
Verbal defense of Islam and Muslims usually means animus toward Jewish people and Israel.
Animus toward Jewish people and Israel usually results in verbal defense of Islam and Muslims.
That is because the Western mainstream news media (and Western academia, and Western politicians) have been, for many decades, propagating verbal and visual lies of omission and commission which vilify Israel (and which glorify the “Palestinian” Arabs), and because the Western mainstream news media (and Western academia, and Western politicians), have been, since 9/11, propagating lies of omission and commission which glorify and excuse Islam and Muslims.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
In my comments above, I forgot to mention that she also started glorifying Andrew Tate, which is probably where all this islamophilia is rooted
On the Tucker thing, I have been turned off by him as well when it comes to Israel, and think there is something to Debbie Schlussel’s characterization of him as an anti-Semite. He is opposed to entering a war w/ Iran, which is fair enough, but otoh, thinks that the US not trying to force a peace b/w Israel & Hamas is like a parent egging his 2 kids on to fight each other. The idea that the US is like a parent to Hamas is just deranged
Recently, at his Putin interview, when Putin characterized some of his Ukrainian enemies as Nazis and told Tucker that he demanded from Zelansky “de-Nazification”, Tucker, in the aftermath of the interview, called that allegation insane, and narrowed down Nazism to those who want a German super-empire to rise again. But Nazism does have its spawn-offs worldwide, primarily Judeophobic movements (which the ummah has happily embraced), and economically, state outsourcing of production to private companies (sorta the way the US government is doing now w/ Big Tech & the Defense establishment)
Both Candace & Tucker have fallen steeply in my estimation, even if I mostly agree w/ Tucker on much of his views on Russia and what our relations w/ that country should be
bill53 says
I don’t follow Owens, but I like Carlson. What Carslson is ultimately railing against is Neo-Conism, not Jewish people or Israel. I fully support providing Israel with whatever aid it needs to defend itself and finish the mission in Gaza no matter how much collateral damage occurs, Hamas must be liquidated.
But I like Carlson am also concerned that American Neo-Cons along with the military-industrial complex want the US to enter the Israeli-Gazan war and attack Iran. This entire Houthi piracy psy-op is to get the US to attack Iran. I like Carlson will not send my family to die on some forsaken battlefield in Ukraine or the Middle East.

Tate converted to islam. Thus, he is utterly irrelevant.

And what of the some 44,000 Jihad attacks across the globe by (not buddhists, not christians, not Jews, not all other religions), were they a result of being offended? Is that what Owens now considers the real source of all that? All of the Jihadist attacks prior to 9/11, how did they arise… maybe because muslims felt that they would be discriminated against? My word, how does a thinking person like Ownes devolve into this? I have my own thoughts about this, but since it’s conjecture, I’ll reframe… the point is that she’s simply wrong and we will hear more illogic, and refusal to discuss what are horrors, as horrors- that is what Jihadis do and represent to ‘all others’
Wellington says
Candace Owens reminds me of what I used to think about Mitt Romney back in the 2008-2012 range. Yep, a pretty positive view at first and then the truth set in about these two and, at best, all you can any longer say about them is that they are complete fools—for my money far worse then mere fools.
Well (standard line here), fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. I will not be fooled twice about Candace Owens anymore than I will be about Mitt Romney. Two of a kind—a rotten kind.
Pray Hard says
Had me fooled for awhile. Finished with her now.
40 rounds says
Her version of events sounds like a load of baloney, highly suspect, and a lot of Monday morning quarter -backing after the facts. I taught school the morning of 9-11 and not one student said anything derogatory about Muslims and this in a deep red state. I call bs on her.
somehistory says
I received an email from her today. No reading, just deleting.
OLD GUY says
Vary disappointing, had hope for her as a conservative political prospect. No Longer.

“No one beyond a few nuts was actually claiming that every Muslim was a terrorist.” Guess I’m a nut, then, since the thought of Islam is terrifying and Muslims do terrify me, as a Jew, knowing that they base their entire ideology on a per-version of my Jewish history and religion, and they are bent on destroying my kind, and they steal from all over and claim it as Islamic in origin (from Sufism to Tessellation), which are just lies, and I won’t support the lies, what amounts to Satan fooling the masses! I do accept Yeshua and Muslims don’t, which makes them literally anti-Christ!
I’ve experienced their true colors, when nobody is watching, and I’ll never get over having my new assigned doctor refuse to even enter the exam room with me, her disabled patient. She made it clear she didn’t want anything to do with me, all because I listed my Jewish ethnicity on my medical form! I was do for a refill on my medicine, so I had to go to the ER for basic medical care.
Tanya Notkoff says
Hate typos: due for a refill…not do…Oy vey!
TIJERANDY says
She ‘didn’t even know what a Muslim was’…and she still doesn’t. “It is the duty of every good Muslim to fight the Jihad, with all means at his disposal, until the World bows doen to Allah” – Quran. Fact is: every ‘good Muslim’ is a SLEEPER CELL awaiting the order of some cleric/imam to attack an Infidel, a Jew, a Pagan, a Queer…etc etc etc. Read the HIstory of Islam, Candace.
