Google and Fox TV Invite Anti-Trump, Hitler-Citing, Muslim Advocate to Join Next GOP TV-Debate

Youtube

Fox News and Google have invited three YouTube personalities to ask questions at the Jan. 28 GOP debate — including a Muslim advocate who describes Donald Trump as a bigot and who visually portrayed him as being in agreement with national socialist Adolf Hitler.

“We have a presidential candidate whose loudest message reeks of hatred and Islamophobia… turning on the news now is scary, and oftentimes, humiliating,” the Muslim woman, Nabela Noor, says in a December YouTube video.

She admits to becoming a Muslim political activist amid the growing criticism of Islam’s doctrines. “The current social environment for Muslims today is not safe or just… as a Muslim American, I felt like I needed to use my voice,” she claimed. 

Noor also urged her YouTube viewers to rally against critics of Islam. “I’m so thankful for those who speak up and out against anti-Islamic speech and ideologies. Our community needs more allies like you, but we have a long way to go,” she said.

The two companies announced Tuesday afternoon that the anti-Trump Muslim advocate would be allowed to play a role in the debate.

Google is teaming up with the Fox News Channel for the final  Republican debate in Iowa on Thursday, January 28, 2016, and integrating three new components into the debate to help people get informed before they head to the polls, including a way to hear directly from candidates on Google; real-time Google Trends data; and questions from three of YouTube’s most prominent voices—Nabela NoorMark Watson, and Dulce Candy — who will join the moderators in the debate to ask the candidates a question on an issue that matters to them and their communities.  


The Republican National Committee also approved the choice of Noor, an LA.-based press aide for YouTube, Jackie Cavanagh, at MPRM Communications, told Breitbart. “I believe” she was chosen by YouTube, with help from the RNC and Fox, she said.

“YouTube creators were selected in collaboration with Fox based on things such as audience size and their ability to bring a new, fresh perspective to the most important issues of our time. Fox informed the party/candidates of the format,” said a p.r. person. 

Allison Moore, a press secretary for the RNC, told Breitbart that “We had nothing to do with that.” 

Irena Briganti, a spokeswoman for Fox, also did not respond.

In December, Trump announced he would restrict the immigration of Muslims until the jihad problem can be addressed. “It is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” said Trump.

The statement came 14 years after Islamic jihadis killed 3,000 Americans and destroyed the Twin Towers in New York, and after many other jihadis launched or tried to launch a series of attacks across the United States.

In her videos, Dulce Candy, the invited Latino questioner, said she was brought from central Mexico to the United States while a young girl. She later joined the U.S. military and served in Iraq. The press announcement described Candy:

With over 2 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, Dulce is a top YouTube beauty, fashion and lifestyle influencer. The only thing more impressive than her fanbase is her story: she immigrated to the United States from Mexico at age 6 and served in the armed forces in Iraq. Today, she’s a proud U.S. citizen, mother, and entrepreneur who serves as a role model for latinas, women, and more.


Noor is described in the company anouncement as well: 

Born in New York, Nabela is a 24 year old Muslim American whose parents immigrated from Bangladesh. As an up-and-coming beauty creator with over 140,000 subscribers, Nabela hasn’t shied away from social issues. In arecent video, she spoke about being called a “terrorist” in elementary school after 9/11 and emphasized the importance of tolerance above all.


The perspective of the Muslim woman, Noor, has been shaped by her Bangladeshi immigrant parents, who were paired off by their parents in an arranged marriage as teenagers, aged 17 and 14.

These Bangladeshi Muslim parents migrated to the United States — while hiding am anchor-baby pregnancy — and later kept Noor in the house for many years to prevent her from integrating with American society. “Growing up, we weren’t allowed out much, our parents wanted to preserve our culture at all costs,” she said. They even refused tolet her date a man, even after she had gone to college, Noor said in a biographical video. The parents also arranged a marriage for Noor’s older sister. Her mother still wears a head-covering to mark her as a loyal Muslim. 

Aspects of Islamic culture remain part of Noor’s personality, under the outward appearance of an American fashionista.

For example, Noor argues that Muslims are individually and collectively insulted when many Americans’ offer sincere and well-argued criticism of Islam’s violent doctrines — for example, jihad, bans against free speech, the death penalty for quitting Islam, sexual subordination of women, opposition to democracy and the separation of mosque and state, etc., etc. That bigoted claim of injury from free speech echoes the demand from orthodox Islam that critics of Islam be silenced – by force if needed – and that the status or honor of each Muslim is damagedif they fail to fight against any criticism of Islam by non-Muslims.

So Noor claimed:

To be hateful and Islamophobic has become so common that it is proudly displayed all around us, online, on the news, and in politics. it is dehumanizing and it hurts. It is hard not to see a bumper sticker of a bigoted presidential candidate and not feel personally attacked when his entire campaign rests on the backs of Muslim-Americans. Where there should be messages of hope and tolerance, there are messages being spread of fear and hate, thus breeding violence.


In contrast, Western Christians and non-Christians try to treat criticism of ideas, such as Christianity’s claim that unborn humans deserve the right to life, or the merits of any particular presidential candidate, as a problem to be solved by facts, logic, free-speech, and compromise. That’s fundamentally different from Noor’s Islamic-style, only-one-winner fight over honor, pride, and supremacy.

That only-one-winner, zero-sum attitude often pushes Muslims to escalate debates into shouting matches and threats. Noor, for example, showed an image linking Trump and Hitler, which suggests that Trump’s criticism of Islam’s jihad ideology is so morally reprehensible that it is equivalent to actually murdering six million Jews, plus at least 10 million Slavic Russians, plus millions of other victims of Hitler’s socialism-for-Aryans Nazi ideology.

In fact, much to the embarrassment of Muslim advocates in the United States, that aggressive aspect of Islam was admired by Jew-hating, left-wing Hitler, who naturally also hated Christianity’s peacefulness, reason and emphasis on individuals’ conscience.

Noor also described criticism of Islam as “Islamophobia,” as if only the existence of a nationwide mental-disease could explain why Americans criticize jihad or child-marriages or the murder of captured Christians or the murders of homosexualsor the murder of a seventh-century poet.

That term, “Islamophobia,” was developed by Islamic advocates to help their allies stigmatize critics of Islam. Generally, Western advocates do not describe their critics as mentally diseased, but as illogical, selfish, or misinformed.

In her video, Noor also tried to argue that Trump’s implied criticism of the violence associated with Islam — likely, including the 9/11 atrocity, the San Bernardino murders, and many other recent jihad attacks — is somehow causing more attacks by Americans against Muslims in America. She did not supply evidence, but did show anewspaper clipping that was actually about a Muslim in Detroit who stabbed two non-Muslims after asking them if they were Muslims. 

“Nick Loussia, Deputy Chief of Police for the Southfield Police Department, said [the stabber] ‘is Muslim, and asked the victims what religion they were’ before allegedly attacking them,” said a report atMLive.com

But Noor portrayed the Muslim-against-not-Muslim jihad attack as actually caused by Americans’ fear of Muslim attacks

“The fear-mongering tactics are a direct cause of hate-violence against Muslims and that makes being a Muslim in America today very, very scary,” she claimed. Noor did not mention any of the manymany,many attacks by Muslims against non-Muslims in America.

She did, however, try to argue that the many Islam-inspired attacks are not Islamic. ‘There are people out there that manipulate our texts to serve their own sick twisted agenda,” she said, without trying to explain how ISIS violates Islamic texts, or trying to disavow the many commandments for jihadin the Koran.

Bold Prediction: ‘Next President of the United States Will Be At South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention This Weekend’

“I am predicting that the next president of the United States will be at our convention this weekend,” Joe Dugan, the founder and executive producer of the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention tells Breitbart News in an exclusive interview.

The three outsider candidates who lead in the polls—GOP front runner Donald Trump,Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Dr. Ben Carson—will all be speaking at the event. Trump and Cruz are speaking on Saturday, Carson is speaking on Monday.

“Whom do we trust to lead this nation?” is the theme of the convention.

Notably absent will be any of the establishment candidates—Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), John Kasich, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush—as well as Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)and former Hewlett Packard executive Carly Fiorina.

The fifth annual South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention, a three day event, will be held in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina beginning this Saturday just two days after the RNC sponsored GOP Presidential debate in Charleston, South Carolina carried on the Fox Business Network tonight.

Seven candidates—Trump, Cruz, Carson, Sen. Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and John Kasich— will appear at the main event of the competing RNC debate in Charleston this evening.

The “undercard” will include three of the four remaining candidates—former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Carly Fiorina. Sen. Rand Paul, who did not fare well enough in the polls to qualify to be on the main stage, has said hewill not participate in the earlier “kiddie table” debate. Paul says he actually did meet the Charleston debate criteria.

“What a contrast our event in Myrtle Beach on Saturday will be to the RNC sponsored debate in Charleston on Thursday,” Dugan tells Breitbart News.

“All those debates are a negative message where the focus is food fights where the media pits one candidate against another. No one really learns what the candidates really stand for,” he adds.

“That’s where the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention differs. We offer these candidates an opportunity to get their unfiltered message out,” Dugan says. He points out that the weekend event allows each candidate time to really expand on their message.

“Each candidate has up to 5 minutes for an introduction, 20 minutes of uninterrupted speaking time and 15 minutes question and answer. The questions will be written questions based on policy clarifications, not personalities and gotcha questions. They will be asked by the master of ceremonies. On Saturday that will be Breitbart Executive Chairman Steve Bannon and on Sunday it will be Sirius XM’s David Webb,” Dugan says.

That extra candidate time translates into more real information for voters according to Dugan.

“What we need is a voting revolution where ordinary American hard working citizens come out and show their disdain for the paths our leaders are taking us down. To show their disdain for Washington lying to us,” Dugan says.

Tickets are still available for the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention at the event’s website here:www.southcarolinateapartycoalition.com.

The convention has become a significant event in South Carolina GOP Presidential Primary politics, and could play a key role in determining the outcome of the February 20 2016 GOP Pres primary, and potentially Iowa and New Hampshire as well.

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will be on the Saturday agenda along with Trump and Cruz. Former Sen. Rick Santorum and former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore will be on the Sunday agenda. Dr. Ben Carson has Monday all to himself among the Presidential contenders attending.

“None of the establishment candidates accepted our invitation. I have to interpret that as them being afraid to talk directly with conservatives in South Carolina,” Dugan adds.

It is also a missed opportunity. In each year of its existence, the event has attracted sellout crowds.

“Sen. Marco Rubio didn’t even respond. Sen. Rand Paul, I’ve been inviting for three years. He’s never accepted any of our invitations,” Dugan says.

“John Kasich, I wrote his SC state coordinator an invitation. I took the trouble of going to the Crown Reef hotel in Myrtle Beach where John Kasich was speaking to extend our invitation but his staff would not talk to me,” he adds.

“Chris Christie the other day finally sent me a letter saying he will not be able to attend. I reached out to the Jeb Bush campaign at least two times and I heard nothing back. They didn’t say they weren’t coming, they didn’t say they were coming. Carly Fiorina’s campaign manager called two days ago and cancelled saying there was a mixup in the schedule,” Dugan notes.

This is not a sign of respect from the establishment according to Dugan.

“My conclusion is these candidates who declined our invitation have given up on the conservatives in SC. They know it’s a losing cause for them to talk to the people, especially freedom-loving people in this state, ” Dugan tells Breitbart News.

Dugan believes the failure of establishment Presidential candidates to attend the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention reflects the general disdain the GOP establishment has for the every day grassroots voters.

“The Tea Party has become the every day American,” Dugan says.

Dugan has little respect for the establishment GOP candidates who ran for re-election to the Senate and House in 2014.

“They lied to us. They’re afraid we’re going to question them on the lies,” Dugan says.

“In 2014 they clearly ran as far to the right as they could. Then in December, they voted for Cromnibus, and proved what they said on the campaign trail were lies,” he adds.

“For those who are interested in the real truth, they can hear it at the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention,” Dugan concludes.

A number of speakers in addition to the six GOP Presidential candidates -Trump, Cruz, Carson, Santorum, Huckabee, and Gilmore–will be at the event.

AWR Hawkins, Breitbart’s gun rights expert, Breitbart contributing editor Peter Schweitzer, author of the best-selling Clinton Cash, and Breitbart Executive Chairman will be among those additional speakers.

Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder and head of the Tea Party Patriots, Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) (RGA), Alabama Tea Party leader Becky Gerritson, now a Congressional candidate, and undercover video investigator James O’Keefe are among those also scheduled to speak.
