The Week in Nothing to do with Islam (Steyn)

The British Home Secretary, Theresa May, was a little behind the curve when she reacted to the bloodbath in Paris by insisting that "the attacks have nothing to do with Islam". This is the old spin that, although some terrorists might claim to be Muslim, there's nothing inherently Muslim about their terrorism.

But why be so modest? In the United States, the most senior members of the Democrat establishment are taking it to the next level. Secretary of State John Kerry:

It has nothing to do with Islam; it has everything to do with criminality, with terror, with abuse, with psychopathism – I mean, you name it.

As my friend Douglas Murray remarked:

So long as you don't name it 'Islam'.

Saudi Arabia Court Sentences Poet to Death for Renouncing Islam

by Mary Chastain20 Nov 201517
A Saudi Arabian court has sentenced a poet to death for apostasy, the abandonment of Islam.

Ashraf Fayadh, 35, received his sentence without any legal representation. He has 30 days to appeal. Human Rights Watch Middle East researcher Adam Coogle examined the court documents.

“The trial records in this case indicate clear due process violations, including charges that do not resemble recognisable crimes and lack of access to legal assistance,” he declared.

In May 2014, a court sentenced him to four years in prison and 800 lashes. He appealed, which was dismissed. Instead, the court retried him with a new panel of judges.

“Because the not-naming of Islam is more important than the actual naming of whatever it is.”

Game. Set. Match.

"So long as you don't name it 'Islam'."

"Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Junior; now you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr, but you doesn't hasta call me Mr. Johnson!"

How can this woman look herself in the mirror? It would have been far better not to even have mentioned the subject than to have lied to the camera. Islam is fundamental to Islamic terrorism. Who can deny that?

Well, I’ll be darned - If anyone should know the meaning of the word psychopathism, it’s John Kerry - AND HIS BOSS!

“”The practice of a person actually believing every crazy notion he or she has said over time, often times resulting in he or she acting on it.””

“”Islam is fundamental to Islamic terrorism””

Hillary doesn’t have any trouble getting the word “extremism” out of her mouth but she sure can’t attach Islamic to it...and the dolts who worship her sit there dopey eyed without a clue that they should ask her WHAT KIND OF EXTREMISM are you talking about?

Islam is the only religion in the world that commands its followers to murder someone who leaves Islam. For that reason alone it should be declassifed as a legitimate religion.

End of the week, have heard so much stupidity, only read half of it because it was documenting more stupidity. The one thing different about this stupidity is that multitudes will be slaughtered on account of it.

In my little Southern town we had a meeting this morning with local law enforcement at my church. The Topics:

#1 Christian prayer at public meetings/schools.

#2 The Federal government/Media campaign making law enforcement the enemy.

#3 Backing the Governor in his stance against Muslim “refugees.”

#4 The Second Amendment

Rest assured, at least in some sections of this country, Americans will not submit to Islam, Political Correctness, or the Liberal-Left. No way, no how.

If Hillary said Radical Islamic terror, her little muslim doll would stop licking her bean.

That’s a price she’s not willing to pay.
