UPMC, Dollar Bank withdraw support of St. Barnabas fundraiser over Jeanine Pirro appearance
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | March 22 | Sean D. Hamill

UPMC Health Plan, Dollar Bank and Trib Total Media this week have all withdrawn their support for an April Founder’s Day fundraiser for St. Barnabas Charities after at least one local man asked them if the honoree and speaker at the event, Fox News commentator Jeanine Pirro, “reflect the values of your institution.” Ms. Pirro was strongly criticized after comments she made on her Fox News show, “Justice With Judge Jeanine” on March 9 when she said of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who wears a hijab, a traditional covering worn by Muslim women: “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

UPMC is Pennsylvania’s largest non-governmental employer and a non-profit.

I’d like to know how it can pull support based off another entity exercising it’s constitutional rights.

Islam is an ideology at war with freedom and liberty. It is the complete opposite of freedom. It is “submission” to all things Islam. All others are to be conquered. Omar knows this and is a willing tool being used to further the agenda.

The Truth:

An Arabic word has only one root. The root word for Islam is “al-Silm,” which means “submission” or “surrender.” There is no disagreement about this among Arabic or Islamic scholars. al-Silm (submission) does not mean the same thing as al-Salaam (peace), otherwise they would be the same word.

Submission and peace can be very different concepts, even if a form of peace can be brought about by forcing others into submission. As the modern-day Islamic scholar, Ibrahim Sulaiman, puts it, “Jihad is not inhumane, despite its necessary violence and bloodshed, its ultimate desire is peace which is protected and enhanced by the rule of law.”

In truth, the Quran not only calls Muslims to submit to Allah, it also orders them to subdue people of other religions until they are in a full state of submission to Islamic rule. This has inspired the aggressive history of Islam and its military and demographic success in conquering other cultures.

“...The American political scientist Mark Alexander writes that “One of our greatest mistakes is to think of Islam as just another one of the world’s great religions. We shouldn’t. Islam is politics or it is nothing at all, but, of course, it is politics with a spiritual dimension, … which will stop at nothing until the West is no more, until the West has … been well and truly Islamized.”

These are not just statements by opponents of Islam. Islamic scholars say the same thing. There cannot be any doubt about the nature of Islam to those who have read the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith. Abul Ala Maududi, the influential 20th century Pakistani Islamic thinker, wrote — I quote, emphasizing that these are not my words but those of a leading Islamic scholar — “Islam is not merely a religious creed [but] a revolutionary ideology and jihad refers to that revolutionary struggle … to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth, which are opposed to the ideology and program of Islam.”...

“reflect the values of your institution.”

Well the organization should reflect these values or they are just another splinter in America's ass

It’s my Blessed Hope that the Rapture happens.
It’s pretty darn close IMHO.

On the other side of it, the world will beg for the good old days.

I hope they enjoy the world they’ve been trying to create.

Because they will get it, some day. And perhaps not that far off.

What happened to her and CONTINUING to happen to her demonstrates ISLAM is incompatible with western civilization.
ISLAM has killed more people on history than socialism.
