Georgetown Lecturer Whitewashes Islamism, Blames West for Jihadis
Americana Spectator ^ | April 26, 2019 | Andrew Harrod

Posted on 04/26/2019 1:22:36 PM PDT by Twotone

Non-Muslims must “reject the feelings of cultural, racial, and religious superiority that drive false narratives of barbarous Muslims versus civilized Westerners or peaceful Christians,” pontificated Luther College Professor Todd Green. His April 8 Georgetown University presentation attempted to induce guilt in non-Muslims over real and alleged historical atrocities, while whitewashing modern Islamist and jihadist threats.

Green lectured about thirty listeners in the conference room of Georgetown’s Saudi-funded Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU). With Georgetown Professor Tamara Sonn as moderator, he presented his recent book, Presumed Guilty: Why We Shouldn’t Ask Muslims to Condemn Terrorism, under the auspices of ACMCU’s anti-“Islamophobia” Bridge Initiative. The audience included fellow Islamist apologists and ACMCU/Bridge faculty Jonathan Brown, Yvonne Haddad, and Hannah Sullivan. Muslim reformers Mike Ghouse and Faranaz Ispahani also attended.

Green generalized that “one of our favorite past times is to single out Muslims after terrorist attacks and ask them to condemn violence they have had nothing to do with.” He contrasted such behavior with numerous Muslim condemnations of terrorism, such as the website Muslims Condemn, and concluded flippantly that “reading Muslim condemnations of terrorism is pretty boring.” He omitted that influential Islamist organizations like the Hamas-derived Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have refused to denounce terrorists such as Hamas or have issued qualified denunciations of the Islamic State. Even many American Muslims remain concerned that Muslim leaders have refused to denounce extremism.

Islamists have also pressured government agencies to eliminate critical study of jihadist doctrines, an act of willful blindness that should suit Green, who dismissed the idea that “Islam is some way the catalyst or the cause for terrorism.” Citing the shoddy theses of University of Chicago political scientist Robert Pape, Green argued that suicide “bombings were in response to real or perceived occupation...”

It’s not a real religion. It’s a political system based on conquest rather than votes. It should be illegal here.

Grab a Koran and a New Testament. Then compare what the respective faiths look like. Fair nuff? :-)

It’s a religion “plus” a baleful world agenda.

Yeah, simpleton - it’s much more realistic to ask Muslims who did commit terrorist attacks to condemn them.

“We want to modernize, but not to westernize” Prince Bandar

Usama bin Ladin and others could not tell the difference. Therefore for some conservative Islamic fundamentalists, to modernize is in fact to westernize and therefore the west is to blame for the forced radicalization required to return to purity.

20 years from now, I will be in Heaven - This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim. Make sure you read the paragraph ( in red ) toward the end.

Joys of Muslim Women

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.

The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.

Even though a woman is abused she cannot obtain a divorce. To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.

Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry.

The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family.

Husbands can beat their wives ‘at will’ and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.

The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.

The Sharia Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in Canada, Australia, the U.S. And Britain To elect the heads of Government by themselves!

Rest assured they will do so... You can look at how they have almost taken over several towns in the USA.. Dearborn Mich. is one and there are others.. Britain has several cities now with Sharia Law controlled zones, totally controlled by Muslims)

I think everyone in Canada, Australia, the U.S And Great Britain should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful. Some may be but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam.

The peaceful support the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion.

While Canada, Australia, the U.S.A. and Britain are getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are planning a great jihad on North America, Australia and Britain.

How has the west been the cause of the millions of deaths muslims have exacted upon each other and continue to do so today?

Todd Green’s employer (Luther College) is located up in NE Iowa, where the fruit is low-hanging. Many ELCA-type Lutherans still pay perfectly good money to send their daughters to such post-HS LUG (”lesbians until graduation”) & Leftist Camps.

Insert video of Flip Wilson saying the Devil made me do it. It is ill disciplined and unrestrained children that blame everyone else for their actions. Appealing to their own lack of brains and moral decency and not placing the blame where if belongs on their dehumanizing religion doesn’t really wash!

When a non-Muslim marches into a mosque and starts shooting, both Muslims and non-Muslims alike are rightly appalled. However, when a Muslim marches into a church and blows up Christians in the name of Allah, non-Muslims may well be appalled, but “plenty” of Muslims not so much.

He ought to ask Muslim Ilhan Omar who says her anti-Semitism grew out of real pain b/c of her bgrnd....
born in Muslim Somalia, she had to flee the Muslim country to
escape Muslim Somali violence, and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the US.

===========================================
Then as an elected state official she ran back to Muslim Somalia to get her BIL a job.

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

This Muslim woman in our Congress has a hidden agenda no one could ever imagine.

BACKSTORY-- Just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature,
Ilhan left her American refuge to travel to her Muslim homeland she says she "fled in fear".
She was with then-Pres Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a Somali Muslim favorite for re-election.
He reportedly invited her to appear beside him prior to the Somali election taking place.
That's the "frightened lady" pictured chit-chatting, setting up her foreign policy $$$$ Somali Muslim agenda.

No Longer "Fearful," elected US state rep Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later,
Omar's Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Muslim Administration. The US foreign aid is about to pour in.

What was the deal she made with the Muslim Somali govt? Are the violent Muslim Somalians she once fled, privy to US
security reports from Omar's current position on the Congressional Foreign Affair Committee?

NOTE: A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance.

If I had the money I’d hire someone to abduct Todd Green and then release him right in the middle of Mecca during the Hajj.

Where it’s a death penalty offense for a non-Muslim to be.

Then he can tell us all how tolerant they are as they behead him for being an infidel.

Try this simple test. Search “Muslim Beheadings” and you will see hundreds of examples of those beheaded by Muslims.
Then search “Christian Beheadings”, I mean we must be as bad, right? And you will see hundreds examples of those beheaded....by Muslims!

Westerners are certainly to blame. If they had the common decency to convert to Islam and herd goats there would be no Jihad, at least against Western infidels.

Non-Muslims must “reject the feelings of cultural, racial, and religious superiority that drive false narratives of barbarous Muslims versus civilized Westerners or peaceful Christians,”

Muslims must reject the teachings of the Qur'an that Infidels and apostate Muslims must be dominated, enslaved or killed by faithful Muslims.
