Team Trump’s Message: The Clash of Civilizations Is Back
politico ^

Posted on 11/20/2016 6:30:33 AM PST by traumer

Last February Mike Flynn, the incoming national security adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, tweeted: “Fear of Muslims is RATIONAL.” He urged his tweeps to “please forward” a Muslim-bashing video by one I.Q. al-Rassooli, a Britain-based, Iraqi-born polemicist who argues that Islam is less a religion than a cult in perpetual war with the West, that the Prophet Muhammad “committed crimes against humanity on a massive scale” and the Koran is “a rambling, incoherent, jumbled scripture of hatred and enmity that no true God would have ever revealed to anyone.”

Two years ago, in 2014, Steve Bannon, President-elect Trump’s incoming chief strategist, told an interviewer that “the Judeo-Christian West” is “in the very beginning stages of a very brutal and bloody conflict … an outright war against jihadist Islamic fascism”—an enemy that, unless harsher measures are taken, “will completely eradicate everything that we’ve been bequeathed over the last 2,000, 2,500 years.”

And this past May Mike Pompeo, President-elect Trump’s nominee to run the CIA, went to the Center for Security Policy, a hardline think tank that has accused Obama administration officials of being secret agents of the Muslim Brotherhood, for a sit-down with the head of the center, Frank Gaffney. Pompeo told Gaffney in a recorded interview that the fight “extends beyond those [Muslims] who are just engaged in violent extremism.” He added: “We don’t have to say that all Muslims are bad. But … we’re going to have to have a broader approach in order to keep Americans safe.”

1400 years of history shows that Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity exactly as they were commanded to by their prophet.
Islam has killed more people than communism.

WARNING WARNING - Those are David Brook's crib-notes. He concludes that Huntington "committed the Fundamamental Attribution Error" ascribing "to traits the qualities determined by context."

WFB must roll in his grave at the notion that he ever hired this self-absorb ed idiot.

Any article critical of Trump’s policies with regard to muslims that does not quote the relevant passages of the Koran and the Hadith concerning to Trump’s supporters is written by a duplicitous muslim apologist.

True.

Huntington’s book is a wonder, iconic. Maybe the Amazon comments tell the story better.

Kimberly Strassel has a great interview with Bannon here:

Google the headline for full article.

Steve Bannon on Politics as War

The Trump adviser talks about the winning campaign and says the political attacks against him and Breitbart News are ‘just nonsense.’

By Kimberley A. Strassel
Nov. 18, 2016 6:52 p.m. ET

It’s hard to think of Steve Bannon as a low-profile guy. He has garnered about as many headlines over the past week as Donald Trump—no small feat. He is the executive chairman of the hard-right Breitbart News, among the most aggressive voices online, its website an attack machine against Democrats and “establishment” conservatives. President-elect Trump chose Mr. Bannon this week as his chief strategist and senior counselor, a slot usually filed by someone eager to play a presidential surrogate on TV.

Yet Mr. Bannon—who joined the Trump campaign in mid-August to propel its thunderbolt victory—professes no interest in being the story. “It’s not important to be known,” he says in a telephone interview Thursday night, among his first public comments since the election. “It was Lao Tzu who said that with the best leaders, when the work is accomplished, the people will say ‘We have done this ourselves.’ That’s how I’ve led.”

Nor does he profess to care that Democrats and the media are portraying him as a “cloven-hoofed devil,” as he puts it. “I pride myself in doing things that matter. What mattered in the campaign was winning. We did. What matters now is pulling together the single best team we can to implement President-elect Trump’s vision.

He continues: “How can you take anything seriously from a media apparatus—paid the amount of money you people are paid—that systematically missed something that was so obvious, that missed Brexit, that missed the Trump revolution? You’d have thought they’d have learned their lesson on November 8.”

Slight pause. “They clearly haven’t.”

Here are a few things you’ve likely read about Steve Bannon this week: He’s a white supremacist, a bigot and anti-Semite. He’s a self-described Leninist who wants to “destroy the state.” He’s associated with the “alt-right,” a movement that, according to the New York Times, delights in “harassing Jews, Muslims and other vulnerable groups by spewing shocking insults on social media.”

You’ll have seen some of Breitbart’s more offensive headlines, which refer to “renegade” Jews and the “dangerous faggot tour.” You maybe heard that Breitbart is gearing up to be a Pravda-like state organ for the Trump administration.

Well, it’s about time. When you know militant jihadists are living in this country, it is way past time to sound the alarm and wake the wishful-thinkers of the Left, who believe fairies and unicorns will make everything turn out just fine.

It’s either the clash of civilization or surrender. I’ll take the clash.

Well, sounds like a former Muslim critiquing his own religion, which is allowed by PC rules (if I am to judge from the whole crucifix-in-urine debacle that marks the high point of American critiques of religion.)

As Ann Coulter says, isn’t it time to start worrying about US for a change?

Ann Coulter was one of the first people to understand what was happening. Amazing mind...I hope Trump finds a place for her. She's a national treasure.

Ann Coulter has been vilified on FR as often as she's been praised. FReepers are fickle folks.

I have had my disagreements with her, but I'd much rather have her on my side than my opponents'.

“Note to Politico: Islam never stopped fighting. It’s just that progressive nitwits are so blinded by the idiocy of multiculturalism that they refuse to see such.”

For 1300 years muzzies have marched thru whatever they thought they could, >>> and then claimed they invented/wrote all those things they found in the lands they conquered.

Letting them in constitutes SUICIDE !!!

The Good Lord walked around with a dozen unarmed guys preaching -Love thy neighbor...

Mo Ham Med slaughtered all in his way if they disagreed with his way....
AND—REMEMBER Lying is an OK way of life according to their Holy Books...

Thank you for your very interesting link to Prophet of Doom, all in magnificent PDF format. I’ve only read the first two sections, Letter to the Reader, and Prologue. Noting that the book was published in 2004, how is it possible our political leadership, news commentators, clergy men, and people of responsible position fail to sound the alarm? I notice the entire book runs to almost a thousand pages, which is more information than I can practically use.

Another source easy to digest is from Bill Federer who has the remarkable skill of speaking non-stop, hardly seeming to take a breath in delivery. An author and historian, William Federer captures much of this information in his book “What Every American Should Know about the Qur’an,” and the multiple talks given through the last several years. Many of these talks have been (amateur) recorded and posted on you tube, the most recent (that I’m aware) is from January this year:

THE RISE OF ISLAM: William Federer
Fellowship Church - Jan 12, 2016 - 1:12:24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKY4c4q33R4&feature=youtu.be

There’s another video of even greater detail and length (repeat - amateur video):

Radical Islam- ...
Now You See TV - Dec 26, 2015 - 2:41:19
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBaZ2mhpPLI

If you watch the first video and want more, play the second one as well. Don’t let the length of these talks dismay. The information given is fascinating.

One last thing for reading PDF files - there is a (free) reader, FOXIT, which is preferable to me than the better known Adobe reader.
