Reza Aslan: Trump Is Popular Because Of "Islamophobia"
Frontpagemag.com ^ | April 12, 2016 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 04/12/2016 4:17:15 AM PDT by Biggirl

In an adulatory Los Angeles Times interview last Friday, Leftist media darling Reza Aslan asserts that Donald Trump’s popularity reveals that “a large swath of us [is] xenophobic, racist and Islamophobic. And we pretend that we’re not. And now it’s out in the open and can’t be ignored any longer.” He has, of course, nothing to say about the possibility that Trump’s supporters could be favoring their candidate because of his apparently strong stance against jihad terror attacks and the endless threats of mass murder and destruction from the Islamic State.

Discrimination is not only good but required.

To survive we must make decisions, choices. To do so we must discriminate between that which is good, not so good and evil.

to survive as a nation, we must discriminate

Until any of these critics can demonstrate how devotees of islam are able to contravene the basic tenets, historic practice, and explicit commands of sharia, while still considering themselves muslim, I will remain firmly convinced those critics are nothing but craven quislings.

What complete moron coined the term Islamophobia?
We are not paranoid or fearful of Muslims, but we are aware of our surroundings and the dangers these feral beasts impose.

There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.
God instilled in us the ability to sense what poses a danger to our families, our persons and our country.
We would be stupid to ignore danger.
You would not walk up to a wolf in the woods and pet it, because you innately know this would be a stupid and dangerous act that might get you killed.
Ignoring the dangers posed by feral muslims is no different.

The term islamophobia was coined as an attempt at social engineering by a leftist, around 1996.

it is not a real word.

Bingo my friend! You see even after 1400 years of in-breeding SOME of these people can still think clearly.
BTW It isn’t Islamaphobia when the REALLY are trying to kill us.

Nice rant. Now the wildebeests want to label us "phobic" b/c we want to protect ourselves and our families. These people are certifiable.

================================================

The radical left attacks Trump for being a racist because he plans on controlling Muslim immigration into this country. According to the cockamamie thinking of the left, any President who does his constitutional duty by protecting the nation from Muslim butchers is a racist.

AND GET THIS: Obama stooge, DHS Secy 'Jeh' Johnson fatuously stating that Muslim immigrants have been successfully assimilated into American society. So, Jeh...how'd they do that?

-Back in October 2011 one of the most astute lawmen in Washington, Cong Louis Gohmert (Repub-TX), a former judge, questioned then-DHS Secy Janet Napolitano about Mohamed Elibiary, a member of the Department of Homeland Security Council (DHS) with a high level security clearance.

Elibiary allegedly accessed, illegally, from his home computer, a Texas State and Local Intelligence Community database.....(Elibiary was ousted from the Homeland Security Advisory Council for shady activities---and settled in Texas).

Napolitano managed to unglue her lips from Obama's behind---and told Cong Gohmert she knew nothing about it, and that she would "personally" do the investigation. (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

=========================================================

Obama gave 5 MILLION federal hires Obama top security clearance.

======================================================

The following have top US security clearance

Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development;

Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security
Advisory Council (ousted for using his home computer
to tap into a Texas State and Local Intelligence Community database
;

Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference;

Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC);

Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA);

Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

==================================================

Estimates range from several thousand to approximately eight million Islamic fighters inside the United States as we type. The exact number is unknown. Several thousand could create havoc if a coordinated attack was to occur. keep in mind, on 9/11, just 19 Islamic fighters and hijackers killed almost three thousand people. One has to believe the worst case scenario----that nearly eight million are already here....and being welcomed by Obama.

========================================================

Cong Michelle Bachman says the FBI told her Americans who joined ISIS are allowed back in the US.

===============================================

HOORAY Robert Spencer. Jihad marches on. It was destroying city-states long before Donald Trump. It will be destroying nation-states long after Donald Trump. Its gains since 9/11/2001 are unprecedented in this republic.

“I, Donald J. Trump, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

I wonder how many US govt checks Reza is cashing? And under how many identities? And getting taxpayers to subsidize his housing, schooling, food stamps, free Obama phones, utility payments, etc etc etc. Did Reza plead "asylum" to get hefty monthly SS checks.....PLUS SSI for various ailments for him and his family?

=====================================================

Here's how the peace-loving Muslims cash-in. This is very common in the Muslim community...this one got caught b/c he murdered two Christians.

REFERENCE A federal criminal complaint detailed a Texas Muslims schemes to bilk the US govt: Claiming he couldn't work he scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds w/ complaints of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms, affective disorders, and so on.

He maintained several addresses on the Texas property to facilitate various schemes and used various names.

He was collecting tax dollars for a son supposedly living overseas.

At the same time he was secreting real estate, jewels, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.

Texas Muslim---Serial Killer of Christians---on Disability and Food Stamps,
had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on Texas property

Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22

This sort of thing is surprisingly common among Muslims -very few seem to have jobs but they drive around in luxury cars and are well-dressed and fed. The only reason this case came to light is because the Texas Muslim refugee committed two murders in Texas, one of which he actually got away with.

The murder of Christian believer, Gelareh Bagherzadeh, was reported earlier. Gelareh Bagherzadeh was an Iranian Christian who came to this country only to be murdered by a Muslim because she encouraged his daughter to marry the man she loved.

The Texas Muslim claimed he was too disabled to work. But he wasn't too disabled to kill.

BACKSTORY The Texan, a strict Muslim, was furious when his Jordanian-American daughter married a man without his permission. The Muslim, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, blamed his daughters husband, relatives say. They say he also faulted one of her closest friends, 30-year-old Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a Christian convert who widely denounced Islam.

<><> First Christian-believer Bagherzadeh was killed, gunned down outside her parents Texas Galleria townhouse complex in January 2012.

<><> Eleven months later, Irsan’s son-in-law died after being shot multiple times in northwest Texas, in the Harris County apartment he shared with his wife.

The Texas Muslim thought he could get away with murdering because he had already gotten away with so many other things in Texas.

Federal authorities executed a search warrant at Irsan’s sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe, Texas property.

The Muslim Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.

A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan, and his family, allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.

The complaint also alleges the Muslim Irsan:

<><> was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the US,

<><> maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes, and,

<><> once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement.

The Muslim Ali was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.

Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said “five or six Muslim families” frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsan’s attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam I’m sure.

The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the Muslim familys alleged (a) foreign bank accounts, and, (b) suspicious wire transactions, Irsan’s strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.

Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan.

Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the home.

Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested. His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.
