UC-Irvine Welcomes Black Muslim Hatred-"bad Jews" run America -- and planned to kill Al Gore
New University Newspaper/frontpagemag.com ^ | March 8, 2004 | Loren Casuto

Posted on 03/08/2004 5:23:10 AM PST by SJackson

Freedom of speech is one of the most beloved and treasured values in the United States; it’s what makes our democracy work so well. The ability to have open debates on any subject and the right to say whatever one chooses is essential in any free democratic society; and the university has a responsibility to ensure that every side has the right to say their piece. The question is: When free speech and the First Amendment are a shield for hate speech, then should it be protected or permitted on campus? The answer is unequivocally no.

On Thursday, Feb 26, the Muslim Student Union brought Amir Abdemalik Ali to speak about “America under Siege: The Zionist Hidden Agenda.” The title is infuriating because it claims that “Zionists,” who are the “bad” Jews (though he never defined what it meant to be a “bad” Jew), are running the show in America.

The idea that Jews, good or bad, who are less then one percent of the population in America, are really running the show in any country is classic anti-Semitism that’s been around for centuries.

The title was bad enough, but what the former Nation of Islam member said was worse. He implied that Zionism is a mixture of “chosen people-ness and white supremacy,” that the Iraqi war is in the process of “Israelization,” that the Zionists had the “Congress, the media and the FBI in their back pocket,” that the downfall of former Democratic front-runner Howard Dean was due to the Zionists and that the Mossad (Israel’s CIA) would’ve assassinated Al Gore if he was elected just to bring Joe Lieberman (his Jewish vice-president) to power. On top of which, this man openly praises Hamas and Hezbollah, two groups considered to be terrorist organizations by the United States, and approves of violence as the way to achieve a goal.

The strange thing is that this isn’t the first time he’s spewed anti-Semitism at a college forum. On the campuses of UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz two years ago, Amir said, “The wars against Iraq [Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom] were manufactured by the Jews in America to avert attention from the two Intifadahs.” He also came out publicly stating that, “the Israelis knew about and were ‘in-control’ of 9-11” and that it “was staged to give an excuse to wage war against Muslims around the world.”

This is not the viable, open debate that universities are supposed to allow; this is hate speech. This is anti-Semitism as plainly as I’ve ever seen it at UCI and my only question to the administration is, “When what he has said was going to be available for anyone to see, why was he permitted on this campus?” I know someone (or maybe a lot of you) reading this article, are screaming at me “Freedom of Speech!” and “First Amendment!”

The law protects their right to say whatever they want but what benefit does hate speech bring to an open discussion? Hate speech often leads to violence, and is that what we as Anteaters want on this campus?

When the evangelical Christians came to campus with their huge signs, claiming that everyone is going to hell who doesn’t believe what they believe, when they insulted “yellow” and “slant-eyed” Chinese and proclaimed homosexuality an abomination, was there any doubt that it was hate speech? No, and Anteaters from all races, beliefs and orientations gave them a verbal thrashing. So why is it so hard to make the connection that when someone walks onto the campus and claims that Jews run America and perpetuated Sept. 11, that it isn’t hate speech?

I’m not saying that anyone who disagrees with Israeli policy or action is anti-Semitic; if you want to criticize the Barrier, what’s going on in the territories, et cetera, you have a right to. But there is a VERY large difference between claiming that Israeli action is wrong and that the Israelis are in control of the American government. Criticism is one thing. Demonization and delegitimization are completely different and do not serve a purpose in an open debate.

I want the administration of UCI to give me some kind of an answer to this: Since when is anti-Semitism politically correct or allowed under the guise of free speech? Would the university say, “That’s freedom of speech and open debate, you can’t do anything about it,” if someone were to walk onto the campus and rail against the “Asian conspiracy to hold down white Americans in universities,” or that African Americans are to blame for the state of the economy? I’m not saying that to criticize Israelis means you’re a Neo-Nazi, but when you claim that Jews run America, then you’re not making a logical argument. You are spewing hate. And that should not be allowed at UCI or any other campus—not now, and not ever!

Strange to remember now, isn't it, that there was fear that Americans would turn on all Muslims in America after 9/11. But it is the Muslims who are preaching hate against US, not our leaders preaching hate against Muslims.

Oh, the Muslims single out the Jews, but make no mistake about it, they hate America and all Americans just as virulently as they do Israel and all Jews.

When you think about how many raving lunatics are out there running around loose--and how much serious attention they get from academia and the press--you marvel that the world is not in worse shape than it is.

Strange how angry American blacks turn to islam and thus against the jews, when a) mohammad was himself a slave owner b)islam permits ownership of people as property and c) Jewish lawyers were instrumental in the civil rights movement. Selective memory?

I think the lightbulb in Lauren's head is making contact with the socket. Yep, I just saw a dim pulse of light and heard the sound of electricity arcing...no, false alarm...wait, there it goes again...shoot, I thought it would stay on that time.

Come on, Lauren, the people you want answers from are not interested in fairness or consistency. They're either fraidy-scared of stifling a radical Muslim "voice", or they approve of it. "Towards a greater social and economic justice", and all that crap...

What is going on at UC Irvine (other than the obvious stated in this article)? Set in a beautiful planned community in Orange COunty you would think it would be a bastion of conservatism (if that's possible for any university). Didn't Irvine have something to do with the recent flag-football tournament for Muslims, featuring team names like the Jihadis and Intifadas?

At least Schumer and Weiner understand Saudi Arabia and the threat that they are, (apparently) unlike Bush.

FROM JOSEPH FARAH'S G2 BULLETIN
Radical Islam's 'plan'
to take over America

Arab-American author outlines secret
20-year strategy to undermine country


Posted: August 4, 2003
1:00 a.m. Eastern

Editor's note: Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin is an online, subscription intelligence news service from the creator of WorldNetDaily.com – a journalist who has been developing sources around the world for the last 25 years.


© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com

A refugee from the Muslim Middle East thinks he has discovered Islam's 20-point plan for conquering the United States by 2020 – a plan revealed in the latest issue of Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

Anis Shorrosh, author of ''Islam Revealed'' and ''The True Furqan,'' is a Christian Arab-American who emigrated from Arab-controlled Jerusalem in January 1967.

''The following is my analysis of Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020,'' Shorrosh says. ''Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?''

1. Terminate America's freedom of speech by replacing it with statewide and nationwide hate-crime bills.

2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities who promote Islam as the religion of African-Americans while insisting Christianity is for whites only. What they fail to tell African-Americans is that it was Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves. In fact, the Arabic word for black and slave is the same, ''Abed.''

3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.

4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office to bring about favorable legislation toward Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the Internet as possible by buying the related corporations or a controlling stock.

6. Yield to the fear of the imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America – black gold. America’s economy depends on oil and 41 percent of it comes from the Middle East.

7. Yell ''foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran'' anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions and get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. (Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?) Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way.

9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:

10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1,500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are currently 300 exclusively Muslim schools in the U.S. which teach loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution. In January of 2002, Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Washington mailed 4,500 packets of the Quran and videos promoting Islam to America's high schools – free of charge. Saudi Arabia would not allow the U.S. to reciprocate.

11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish ''Centers for Islamic studies'' with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher-education institutions.

12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, when in truth, Islam hijacked the terrorists.

13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.

14. Nullify America's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans with reports of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls.

15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not America's justice system.

16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S., but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.

17. Raise interest in Islam on America's campuses by insisting freshman take at least one course on Islam.

18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by Internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media.

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.

20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the U.S. by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.

Shorrosh is a member of the Oxford Society of Scholars, has traveled in 76 countries, and is a lecturer and producer of TV documentaries. ''Islam Revealed'' is a bestseller now in its eighth printing. His forthcoming 10th book, from which the 20-point plan is abridged, is titled ''Islam: A Threat or a Challenge.''

''The True Furqan'' is also available for viewing on Islam-Exposed.org. Shorrosh's new website is Focusing-on-Islam.com.

The Truth About Islam

Observations by Dr. David R. Reagan

 

Ever since the Attack on America on September 11, 2001, we have heard a never-ending chorus of voices from government, academia, and the media assuring us that the Islamic terrorists who attacked the Trade Towers and the Pentagon are not repre­sentative of “true Islam.” We have been likewise assured by spiritual leaders — even some Christian spokesmen — that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Muslims worship the same God as Christians and Jews.

“Our war is not against Islam,” we have been told repeatedly. “Our war is against terrorism.”

Central Questions

Well, what about it?

The Intolerant and Militant Nature of Islam

One of the most controversial issues regarding Islam concerns whether or not it is a militant religion. Muslims in the West argue it is peace-loving. Westerners who have experienced it in the Muslim world argue it is inherently in­tolerant and militant.

The Koran itself preaches intolerance toward other religions. Sura 5 contains the following command: “Take not Jews and Christians for friends . . . He among you who takes them for friends is one of them . . . Choose not for friends such of those who received the Scripture before you [Jews and Christians] . .  But keep your duty to Allah” (verses 51, 55, 57). Extreme intolerance is commanded in Sura 5:33 — “[For those who do not submit to Allah] their punishment is . . . execution or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet, from the opposite sides, or exile from the land.”

The Koran also expresses an intolerant attitude toward any person who decides to reject the Islamic faith or convert to another religion. Such persons are to be executed (Sura 9:12). In the Hadith (the oral tradition of Muhammad’s sayings) it says “Whoever changes his religion, kill him” (Hadith 9:57). These commands are practiced in all Islamic Fundamentalist countries today.

With regard to militancy, the Koran not only condones it, it commands it:

Fighting is prescribed for you, and [some of] you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not (Sura 2:16).

Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war (Sura 9:5).

Fight in the way of Allah . . . and slay them [the unbelievers] wherever you find them and drive them out . . . and fight them until . . . religion is for Allah (Sura 2:190-193).

Muhammad is quoted in the Hadith as saying, “The sword is the key of heaven and hell. A drop of blood in the cause of Allah — a night spent in arms [war] — is of more avail than two months of fasting and prayer. Whosoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven, and at the day of judgment, his limbs shall be supplied by the wings of angels and cherubim.”12

The Imperialistic Nature of Islam

From its inception, Islam has been committed to what it calls jihad — a word mean­ing holy war. The duty of Muslims is to subjugate or destroy “infidels” — the term the Koran uses for all non-believers.

In the Muslim viewpoint, the world is divided into two regions — those areas controlled by Islam, called Dar al-Islam (meaning the House of Islam) and those called Dar al-Harb (the House of War). The Koran commands Mus­lims to fight non-Muslims until they exterminate all other religions, leaving Islam as the one and only religion in the world (Suras 2:193 and 8:39). Muhammad is quoted in the Hadith as saying, “I have been ordered to fight with the people until they say, none has the right to be worshiped but Allah” (Hadith 4:196).

Regarding terror, Allah orders Muslims to terrorize non-Muslims on his behalf: “Strike terror (into the hearts of ) the enemies of Allah and your enemies” (Sura 8:60). Allah then assures his followers that he will assist them: “I will instill terror into the hearts of unbelievers. Smite them above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them. It is not you who slay them, it is Allah” (Sura 8:12, 17).

Concerning jihad,14 the Koran guarantees Paradise to those who fight for Allah (Sura 4:74). It promises instant Paradise for those who die in battle (Suras 9:111 and 47:5-6). Dying for Allah is presented as better than living: “And if you are killed or die in the Way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all that others may amass [of worldly wealth]” (Sura 3:157).

Martyrs are promised a sensual and luxurious life in Paradise (Sura 52:17-22). According to Al-Ghazzali, one of Islam’s greatest teachers, when a martyr reaches Paradise, he “will marry 500 companions, 4,000 virgins, and 8,000 divorced women.”15 Commenting on this statement, Randall Price, biblical teacher and Middle East expert, observed that the Islamic Paradise is “just the kind of place that adolescent, unmarried men, isolated through their lives from the opposite sex by rigid cultural standards, would die for.”16

Fundamentalist Goals

The Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran was the modern day Islamic spokesman who revived Muhammad’s vision of world con­quest. He taught that the re-establishment of Israel was a Satanic miracle allowed by Allah because of the lukewarmness of the Muslim masses. He called for a renewal of true Islam to accomplish three purposes:19

  1. To overthrow the “secular” rulers of Islamic countries (like Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt), just as he had done in Iran.

  2. To take back the land of Palestine for Allah, exterminating Israel in the process.

  3. To conquer the rest of the world for Allah.

Notice the first priority was the transformation of secular Islamic countries into religious states ruled by the Koran. Then would come Israel and the world.

In a proclamation made by Osama bin Laden in 1998, he listed the same goals and prioritized them in the same order.20 He then identified the United States as the prime obstacle to the achievement of these goals. Accordingly, he called on Muslims everywhere “to comply with Allah’s order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it.”

It is important to note that the eradication of Israel is not the top priority. Nor is Israel viewed as the major obstacle to world conquest. I emphasize this because many Americans are saying that the key to winning the war against terrorism is to dump Israel. More and more, on radio talk shows, I hear people saying, “Let’s cut Israel loose. Let the Arabs have it. Then they will leave us alone.”

That is utter nonsense. Israel is not the cause of Islamic terrorism toward the West. If Israel were to disappear tomorrow, Fundamentalist Islam would still be determined to destroy America as part of its plan to take the world for Allah. And if we were to abandon Israel, the Muslim world would interpret it as an act of cowardice, proving our word is meaningless and that we truly are, as they say, “a depraved society devoid of values.” Our abandonment of Israel would only whet their appetite. Islamic Fundamentalism cannot be appeased. It must be de­feated.

So is the author suggesting that we criminalize certain speech as they do in Canada where reciting Biblical quotes against homosexuality are considered "hatecrimes"? I don't think we want to go down that slippery slope.

It is frustrating isn't it. I know a couple of people who are lefties, nice people BUT some of their ideas just drive me up the wall. I don't you about you but there are times when I want to come upside their head with a stick.
Think of it as an opportunity to practice patience.

Strange how angry American blacks turn to islam

It isn't strange to me that angry misfits are attracted to jihadist Islam, misfits of every race.

Young men, again of any race, any nation, who scorn the opportunities available while believing they deserve better, will always be drawn into nihilistic violence. The 'cause' doesn't matter....the violent lashing out at a demanding society is the attraction.

"Oh, the Muslims single out the Jews, but make no mistake about it, they hate America and all Americans just as virulently as they do Israel and all Jews."
