The post-jihad denial that we see in the wake of every Islamic attack since 9/11 has made possible the wild successes of Islamic groups that are waging jihad in the cause of Islam.

After every jihad terror attack, Islamic supremacists and their paid shills in the media unleash relentless, vicious attacks upon those of us who oppose jihad. Never do we hear or see them go after the Islamic texts and teachings that fuel this war.

A case in point was a Salon article published Tuesday: “Donald Trump’s war with Islam: A campaign rooted in pernicious religious discrimination,” by Simon Maloy. Maloy said that the Orlando jihad massacre gave Trump “the opportunity he needed to define the campaign he intends to run: a campaign that casts the Muslim faith and its practitioners – both inside and outside the U.S. – as antagonistic to American interests.”

He accused Trump of running a campaign “that casts the Muslim faith and its practitioners – both inside and outside the U.S. – as antagonistic to American interests.” Trump’s speech in the wake of the Orlando jihad massacre was, according to Maloy, “a relentlessly ugly diatribe that unambiguously embraced the pernicious and anti-American idea that a person’s religious faith makes them a threat to national security.”

The idea that the depraved left sees the murdered nightclub-goers as an “opportunity” for Trump is as vicious as the attack itself. Trump sounded a warning, and he was right to do so. It was not Donald Trump who made Islamic jihad “antagonistic to American interests”; the jihad doctrine itself is antagonistic to American interest and freedoms. How many thousands have to die in the cause of Islam?

In his speech, Trump said that he would “suspend immigration from areas of the world when there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies, until we understand how to end these threats.” He is right. After the Boston Marathon jihad bombing, my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), called for the following:

— AFDI calls for immediate investigation into foreign mosque funding in the West and for new legislation making foreign funding of mosques in non-Muslim nations illegal.
— AFDI calls for surveillance of mosques and regular inspections of mosques in the U.S. and other non-Muslim nations to look for pro-violence materials. Any mosque advocating jihad or any aspects of Sharia that conflict with Constitutional freedoms and protections should be closed.
— AFDI calls for curriculum and Islam-related materials in textbooks and museums to describe the Islamic doctrine and history accurately, including its violent doctrines and 1,400-year war against unbelievers.
— AFDI calls for a halt of foreign aid to Islamic nations with Sharia-based constitutions and/or governments.
— AFDI denounces the use of Sharia law in any Western court or nation.
— AFDI advocates deportation hearings against non-citizens who promote jihad in our nations.
— AFDI calls for an immediate halt of immigration by Muslims into nations that do not currently have a Muslim majority population.
— AFDI calls for laws providing that anyone seeking citizenship in the United States should be asked if he or she supports Sharia law, and investigated for ties to pro-Sharia groups. If so, citizenship should not be granted.
— AFDI calls for the cancellation of citizenship or permanent residency status for anyone who leaves the country of his residence to travel for the purpose of engaging in jihad activity, and for the refusal of reentry into his country of residence after that jihad activity.
— AFDI calls careful investigation of Muslims resident in non-Muslim country who have obtained naturalized citizenship or permanent residency status, to ensure that that status was not obtained under false pretenses.
— AFDI calls for the designation of the following as grounds for immediate deportation: fomenting, plotting, financing, attempting or carrying out jihad attacks; encouraging or threatening or attempting to carry out the punishments Islamic law mandates for apostasy, adultery, blasphemy, fornication or theft; threatening or attempting or carrying out honor murders, forced marriage, underage marriage, female genital mutilation, or polygamy.
— AFDI calls for the U.S. and other free nations to have jihad, as it is traditionally understood in Islamic jurisprudence to involve warfare against and subjugation of non-Muslims, declared a crime against humanity at the U.N., or to withdraw from the U.N. and have its headquarters moved to a Muslim nation.
— AFDI calls for legislating making illegal the foreign funding of Islamic Studies departments and faculty positions in our universities.

How many people would be alive today had American politicians heeded our calls? Instead, we are blacklisted, smeared, libeled, and defamed, while pro-jihad groups are feted on Capital Hill.

But Maloy complained that Trump’s focus was “on Muslims exclusively – not radicalized Muslims, but every Muslim person outside the U.S. He referred to the expanded admittance of refugees from Syria as potentially ‘a better, bigger version of the legendary Trojan Horse.’ Per Trump, Hillary Clinton, as president, would ‘be admitting hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Middle East with no system to vet them, or to prevent the radicalization of their children.’ It’s all fearmongering based on lies and prejudice.”

Such idiocy is without peer. ISIS has vowed to send jihad killers to the west via migration. They are coming — why let them in? No, not all migrants are Muslim soldiers, but enough are to cause unimaginable death and destruction. Would you eat from a bowl of M & M’s if you knew two of them were laced with cyanide?

Muslims groups such as the Hamas-tiedCouncil on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have urged Muslims not to cooperatewith law enforcement. Muslim groups have demanded that law enforcement agencies dismantle counterterror programs. Muslim groups demand adherence to sharia in the language used in counterterror training material: the Department of Homeland Security issued guidelines just days beforethe Orlando jihad massacre forbidding agents from using the words “jihad” and “sharia” in connection with terrorism because doing so offended Muslims.

Maloy is likewise interested in policing language to avoid offending Muslims, saying of Trump’s immigration proposal: “It’s reprehensible, and it’s the kind of language that results in people getting hurt… If your goal is to promote the radicalization of a population within your own borders, having a major party presidential candidate talk about them all as if they’re criminals is an excellent way to go about it.”

No. What is reprehensible is how viciously the lapdogs for jihad blame the victim — led by the scrubber-in-chief in the White House. They call upon the targets to change their behavior, to subjugate themselves to Islam. Maloy is saying that Trump has to change his language or else Muslims will become “radicalized.” Last year, the mainstream media likewise said that the jihad assassination attempt on my free speech event in Garland, Texas was my fault, that I was taunting Muslims. Were the gay revelers in the Pulse nightclub last Saturday night taunting Muslims? Based on that flawed logic, yes. Our very way of life taunts sharia-adherent Muslims.

Jihad terror attacks present a unique opportunity for Islamic supremacists and jihadis. First, the kill, which is a great victory in the cause of Islam. The successful jihad attack attracts more Muslims and converts to the cause.

Secondly and most importantly, terror-tied groups like CAIR, their lapdogs in the enemedia, and pro-Islamic politicians like President Obama use the slaughter to push, proselytize, lie, deceive, and talk, talk, talk up Islam (while denigrating all other religions) on every major media news channel.

Trump is right. He was wrong about Garland, but he surely gets it now. And this is why he is so wildly popular — because finally, someone with a huge platform is calling out the enemedia and the dhimmi press, and giving them the long overdue, much-needed middle finger they so richly deserve.

Trump must win in order for this nation to survive. Trump must win if we are to prevail in this worldwide war against freedom.

6 Times the Mainstream DC Media Ridiculed Children of Republicans

by JOHN NOLTE23 Dec 2015655

One of the biggest lies told by our corrupt and rotting DC Media is the one that states that the children of politicians are off-limits. Unwritten or unspoken, there is no such rule. There is, of course, a strictly-enforced DC media rule about the children of Democrat politicians being off-limits. The children of Republican politicians, however, have always been fair game — and I’m not talking about in the left-wing fever swamps, but in mainstream outlets such as the Washington Post, CNN, NBC News, The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, and Salon.

An excellent example of this double standard occurred almost exactly a year ago when Elizabeth Lauten, a no-name Capitol Hill staffer, took to Facebook to criticize the behavior of President Obama’s two lovely teenage daughters during the President’s annual turkey pardon ceremony.

As documented by the Washington Free Beacon, the DC Media lost its ever-loving mind over this. Network news vans camped outside of the home of Lauten’s parents, the Washington Post  “assigned one of its foreign affairs correspondents to comb through an archive of columns Lauten wrote for her college newspaper in 2006 and 2007. …  Both ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today show devoted segments to the controversy on Sunday and Monday[.]”

Lauten apologized but still lost her job as a Communications Director for a Republican Congressman. And I am in no way defending her. Children of politicians should be off-limits. They are civilians, bystanders, innocents who should be allowed to live their own lives, enjoy their own opinions, and make their own mistakes without being dragged onto the national stage and used as a billy club against their parents.

It is just a fact that the DC Media do not see Republicans as humans. We are worse than Nazis to them, we are “things” that must be annihilated, grinded into dust, and poured into an active volcano. Make no mistake, these people despise us, and the ongoing attacks against our children are part of a rather ingenious and coordinated DC Media plot to intimidate.

The idea is to make things so nasty and so ugly, no decent Republican will enter politics. Moreover, as you’ll see below, the DC Media is desperate to destroy Republican families that might be appealing to voters. Granted, sometimes it’s just venomous hate, but there is a bigger agenda at work here, and no doubt a coordinated one.

Below  are some recent examples. Again, keep in mind that this is not “Saturday Night Live,” or a comedian, or a partisan talk show host, or some website no one has heard of. These examples represent  mainstream outlets widely accepted as such within the mainstream DC media.

 

Washington Post Ridicules Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)’s Young Daughters a Monkeys

The Attack

The Washington Post not only publishedthis cartoon, Republican Senator Ted Cruz was attacked by the Post for using his own young daughters as “props.” A Post staffer has declared the daughters “fair game.”

Cruz’s daughters, Catherine and Caroline are 4 and 7 years-old!

Keep in mind, as I mentioned above, that this is the same Washington Post that “assigned one of its foreign affairs correspondents to comb through an archive of columns Lauten wrote for her college newspaper in 2006 and 2007,” after this no-name staffer criticized President Obama’s daughters in a personal Facebook post last year.

In the DC Media, Republican children arefair game, but God help you if you criticize the children of Democrats, even in a personal Facebook post.

Consequence

As of now, the Washington Post is doing what it always does: lying. The cartoon has been removed and replaced with an absurdeditor’s note that claims “I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published.” Fine. Maybe Fred Hiatt did not look at the cartoon before it was published, but no one believes the cartoonist has the power to self-publish.

Plenty of WaPo staffers okayed the cartoon, and as of now all of them, including the cartoonist, still have jobs.

 

CNN Mocks Physical Assault On Bristol Palin

The Attack

CNN obtained audio of Governor Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol reporting an alleged physical assault to the police. If you are anything close to a human being, the recording is objectively harrowing, a frightened young mother describing a brutal physical and verbal assault to authorities.

Before playing the audio, a delighted CNN told its audience to “sit back and enjoy” the audio, and added   that the recording is “quite possibly the best minute and a half of audio we’ve ever come across, come across in a long time anyway.”

The Consequence

We’re talking about CNN here, so obviously there were no consequences. Because the orders to mock Bristol Palin probably came from CNN chief Jeff Zucker, the anchor is still on the air. The network never apologized.

 

 

NBC News Attacks Mitt Romney’s Black Grandchild

Almost exactly two years ago, on its cable news outlet MSNBC, NBC News’s Melissa Harris-Perry mocked Mitt and Ann Romney’s infant grandchild, Kieran Romney. His only sin is being black.

You can hear panelist Pia Glenn singing the lyrics to the “Sesame Street” song, “One of these things doesn’t belong here.” After finishing the ditty, Glenn says, “And that little baby, front and center, would be the one.”

Dean Obeidallah then attacks the child as token, “”I think this picture is great. It really sums up the diversity of the Republican party, the RNC. At the convention, they find the one black person.”


The Consequence

Melissa Harris-Perry still has her own show and Dean Obeidallah’s career took off as a result. He is now a regular contributor at the Daily Beast and an on-air contributor at — where else? — CNN.

 

The Atlantic Serially-Smears Bristol Palin as the Mother of Trig Palin

The Attack

Throughout the 2008 presidential campaign, in order to freak-show Sarah Palin’s attractive, everyday family, The Atlantic launched a vicious and relentless smear campaign that claimed Palin’s daughter Bristol was the mother of Trig Palin.

Trig Palin is Sarah Palin’s youngest child.

The Conseqeunce

None. In fact, while pretending to debunk it, the DC Media gave the conspiracy a ton of play.

 

The Daily Beast Mocks Palin Children

After describing Governor Palin as a “GILF” (Governor I’d Like to F***), in 2008, The Daily Beast went on to mock the names of the Palin children before singling out Bristol:

I was eager to see whether Bristol would follow in her parents’ creative-naming footsteps or pick the kind of mass-marketed name favored by other teenage moms: Kayden, say, or Ashton. Tripp is, well, kind of trippy, and certainly unfortunate in view of his paternal grandma’s recent drug arrest. But it’s a more creative choice than those made by other famous young moms: Jamie Lynn Spears’ Maddie Briann, for example, or Charlotte Church’s Ruby Megan.

Its only real problem may be that it seems less like the independent choice of the baby’s young parents and more like the continuation of an established family dynasty.


The Consequence

Nobody ever faces consequences at The Daily Beast for anything.

 

Salon Mocks George W. Bush’s Daughters as Drunks

The Attack

The 2001 headline, sub-headline, and photo say it all:

The first family’s alcohol troubles

President Bush downplayed his own drinking problem and hid a DUI. Now his daughters are making news for underage drinking. Is there a connection?



The Consequence

Joan Walsh, the author of the attack, is a regular fixture on cable news.

***

If there was a button the DC Media could press that would destroy Republicans and their children, the only fight would be over who gets to press it.
