Fox News Guest Scolds Fox For Underestimating “Stealth Jihad”

Video
» 36 comments

Frank Gaffney, head of the Center for Security Policy, a conservative think tank, appeared on The O’Reilly Factor and told substitute host Eric Bolling he was disappointed with everyone in the media, and yes that includes the Fox News Channel, for underestimating the threat of homegrown jihadists and not being appropriately fearful of the organizers behind the ground zero mosque. Bolling tried to argue Fox commentators passionately opposed allowing the mosque to be built at ground zero, but Gaffney argued Bolling was missing his point: this type of mosque should not be allowed anywhere in America.

Gaffney’s politically incorrect and provocative position:

Guys like Feisal Abdul Rauf who are prime practitioners of this stealth jihad tend to get a pass or worse yet are sometimes lionized as moderate Muslims who are the opponents of this Jihadism when in fact they are simply prosecuting it by different means. . . . A mosque that is used to promote a seditious program, which is what Sharia is . . . that is not a protected religious practice, that is in fact sedition.

Is Rauf actually a secret jihadist or a peaceful Muslim preaching tolerance? Gaffney certainly believed the former, while many media outlets who previously interviewed Rauf and described the mosque as multi-cultural community center tended to lean towards the latter. The truth might remain a mystery, but as strange as it might be to some, Fox News in the end seems to be somewhere in the middle.

    Fact: No new Mosque for Muslims anywhere Period!
    Ten Obvious Reasons Why
    Islam is NOT a Religion of Peace

    #1 14,000 deadly terror attacks committed explicitly in the name of Islam in just the last eight years. (Other religions combined for perhaps a dozen or so).

    #2 Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had people killed for insulting him or criticizing his religion. This included women. Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad.

    #3 Muhammad said in many places that he has been “ordered by Allah to fight men until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger.” In the last nine years of his life, he ordered no less than 65 military campaigns to do exactly that.
    Muhammad inspired his men to war with the basest of motives, using captured loot, sex and a gluttonous paradise as incentives. He beheaded captives, enslaved children and raped women captured in battle. Again, Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad.

    #4 After Muhammad died, the people who lived with him, and knew his religion best, immediately fell into war with each other.
    Fatima, Muhammad’s favorite daughter, survived the early years at Mecca safe and sound, yet died of stress from the persecution of fellow Muslims only six months after her father died.
    Fatima’s husband Ali, who was the second second convert to Islam and was raised like a son to Muhammad, fought a civil war against an army raised by Aisha, Muhammad’s favorite wife – and one whom he had said was a “perfect woman.” 10,000 Muslims were killed in a single battle, waged less than 25 years after Muhammad’s death.
    Three of the first four Muslim rulers (caliphs) were murdered. All of them were among Muhammad’s closest companions. The third caliph was killed by allies of the son of the first (who was murdered by the fifth caliph a few years later, then wrapped in the skin of a dead donkey and burned). The fourth caliph (Ali) was stabbed to death after a bitter dispute with the fifth. The fifth caliph went on to poison one of Muhammad’s two favorite grandsons. The other grandson was later beheaded by the sixth caliph.
    The infighting and power struggles between Muhammad’s family members, closest companions and their children only intensified with time. Within 50 short years of Muhammad’s death, even the Kaaba, which had stood for centuries under pagan religion, lay in ruins from internal Muslim war…
    And that’s just the fate of those within the house of Islam!

    #5 Muhammad directed Muslims to wage war on other religions and bring them under submission to Islam. Within the first few decades following his death, his Arabian companions invaded and conquered Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Zoroastrian lands.
    A mere 25 years after Muhammad’s death, Muslim armies had captured land and people within the borders of over 28 modern countries outside of Saudi Arabia.

    #6 Muslims continued their Jihad against other religions for 1400 years, checked only by the ability of non-Muslims to defend themselves. To this day, not a week goes by that Islamic fundamentalists do not attempt to kill Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists explicitly in the name of Allah.
    None of these other religions are at war with each other.

    #7 Islam is the only religion that has to retain its membership by threatening to kill anyone who leaves. This is according to the example set by Muhammad.

    #8 Islam teaches that non-Muslims are less than fully human. Muhammad said that Muslims can be put to death for murder, but that a Muslim could never be put to death for killing a non-Muslim.

    #9 The Qur’an never once speaks of Allah’s love for non-Muslims, but it speaks of Allah’s cruelty toward and hatred of non-Muslims more than 500 times.

    #10 “Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!”

    This idiot just gave 10 Muslim reasons why the constitution should be subverted.
    And I was foolish enough to believe it was Sharia Law that was trying to do that but it turns out it was the conservatives all along.

    My belief is America should let freedom ring no matter what the Qur’an says.

    Matt says: “Is Rauf actually a secret jihadist or a peaceful Muslim preaching tolerance? ”
    I say: He is a lot closer to being a secret jihadist, then he is a peaceful Muslim!!!!

    Matt says: Gaffney certainly believed the former, while many media outlets who previously interviewed Rauf and described the mosque as multi-cultural community center tended to lean towards the latter.

    I say: Many media outlets (Most of them for that matter) bought into and go out of their way to worship Obama. Thus, I conclude, the media is way too in the tank for Obama, therefore what they think is irrelevant.

    I think I am with Gaffney on this one. You libs should be jumping up and down and praising Gaffney, a Conservative, who disagrees with Fox…Come on…do your thing.

    Nonsense.

    We must go after the handful of Muslims who are extreme in their beliefs, and attempting to attack this country (from the inside or outside). But to hold ALL Muslim’s responsible is simply foolish. This is still America, and people are allowed to practice their religion as they see fit… just not preach violence.

    But attempting to expand the scope of anti-terrorism measures to ALL Muslims, we spread ourselves dangerously thin, and virtually invite another attack.

    100% Agreed. And while we can shame the non-violent Muslims for not doing enough to keep their own house clean (or expose those within their own ranks), we cannot blindly physically attack them for it, as Fax was suggesting.

    Pablo said:

    100% Agreed! But I’ll say there’s a difference in a TSA scan, and a Homeland Security watch, or a blanket armed attack. A more logical procedure at the airports isn’t what Fax was talking about… he was talking about restricting religious freedom (the actual ability to practice one’s religion), and that’s not right either.

    Really?

    I’m not really buying into the ‘stealth jihad’ theory; the Qur’an outlines in detail exactly how mooooslems should infiltrate nations and societies of ‘infidels’ (i.e. The United States of America) and kill them all and take their lands and/or convert the rest to Islam. And we of the great unwashed infidel masses have had access to the warnings within the verses of the Qur’an for many many years now and somehow there are those among us who are either apathetic because they think it doesn’t affect them (um…. hello, does 9/11/2001 ring a bell?) or they choose not to believe what it teaches over and over throughout the entire book. We’ve got our heads in the sand and asses in the air once again people. Wake up!

    And yet, Christians have killed far more people in the last 500 hundred years than Islamics. And even in the past twenty years the U.S. has killed far more Islamics than Islamics have killed Christians. How do you explain that?

    Five hundred years ago? Then I guess we’d have to blame Henry VIII for a lot of it.

    What do we do? Frank Gaffney has never been wrong about anything. Ever.

  • DavidMaximus

    @valkyrie101:

    How dare you say Christians have killed more than Muslims in the last 500 years? Are you liberals high on drugs all the time?

    Do you have an f-ing clue about the Ottoman empire? Do you open-minded and tolerant liberals know Muslim Turks SLAUGHTERED nearly 2 million ethic Armenian Christians in 1915? The first holocaust .

    The Ottomans have been the worst enemy of the West since 1456. It is because of them cutting off maritime routes that Columbus inadvertently sailed to North America and thus begun European economic power.

    We’ve been at war with the Muslim Empire since the fall of Byzantium; they’ve occupied Christendom’s most Holy Hagia Sophia in Constantinople and converted it into a Mosque.

    All modern Art, Science, Language, Culture, and Literature is thanks to Christendom. Ever since Rome turned to Christ. Mohammed was taught the religion “of the book” by Greek Christians in Syria – prior to Arab exposure to Christendom they were nomads.

    Modern Liberalism is the worst enemy – the enemy within. Cicero was right.

    I suggest some of you listen and or read some of the religion of peace Imam speeches when he is OUTSIDE the US. They are different than the ones he gives here. As are many of these “Moderate Imams”. Especially when their religion tells them to lie to nonbelievers to accomplish their end goals of domination. Apparently you have not listened to Mr. Choudray in Englad give his speeches on how their goal is to see the flag of Islam fly over the White House and subvert the entire nation.

    It might almost be irresistible to see the look on the Leftist face as they get herded off to the reeducation camps. They seem to believe the Islamists actually like them and their beliefs.

    If you have not done your own reading, then do not spout off about those that have. Gaffney has.

    Amazing how the Left haws suddenly found their “religion” and have tried for 90 years to tell us about how evil religion is and how it is the “opiate of the masses”.

    But now suddenly they are experts on Islam.

    Utter nonsense. Doubtful they have read much at all on it. Solely used as a ruse to bash anyone that doesn’t follow their schtick.

    1. This is not right vs. left
    2. This is not lib vs. con
    3. This is not right against wrong
    4. This is a man telling you the truth that we should take Islam’s intentions more serious.

    Fact 1. The Quran demands muslims kill non-believers (infidels and karifs) (Over 500 verses in Qur’an instructing how to do this)
    Fact 2. The Quran demands muslims do this any way possible (think of the lowest lie you can think of and it’s been done) ex: they will tell you jews are doing the killing not muslims.
    Fact 3. The Quran is the ONLY guidance muslims use for life. (61% of the Quran is about killing, fighting, terrorizing non believers)
    Fact 4 Muslims strive to be like Muhammad (He beheaded 600 – 900 toward the end of his life)
    Fact 5 It is Muslims ONLY desire to incorporate Islam in all of the world by Jihad for Allah
    Fact 6 Muslims use Taqiyya (lying) to decieve, confuse and recruit. (this is a concept the western world does not understand a religion to do)
    Fact 7 Documents HAVE been found (titled Western Initiaive and Global Initiative) to confirm infiltration tatics
    Fact 8 Muslims are infiltrating by the womb of the woman. Which is confirmed in these documents found
    Fact 9 According to Revelations 12 and 13 Satan’s church will come by the womb of the woman
    Fact 10 Muslims are very serious about their belief. The sooner we realize this and their motives the better.
    Fact 11 The plan is take one concession at a time. (One school book in texas, One court in OK, One mosque in NY, One law at a time.)
    Fact 12 If you think it can’t happen here talk to people in France, Australia, Britain, Norway, Russia….
    Fact 13 Everyone of these countries have defense leagues to try and fight against the infiltration. We now have ADL. American Defense League.

    I’ve been studying the Qur’an for a while now and I would suggest everyone reads it. I have conversed with well over 200 muslims. You will not find love and peace in the Qur’an. You will find hate, raiding, killing and terror. Once you start paying attention to it you will also notice that islam has infiltrated our country more than you would like. Every college, prison, school, government agency and so on. Educate yourself don’t bury your head in the sand.

    Gaffney is right on that Islam is an ancient evil that should never be underestimated. America has long enjoyed being a Muslim-free world island well-insulated from the horrors of the Muslim world, and even though the world is shrinking we’ve been courting disaster by permitting immigration from that world despite age-old battle lines. It was Islam that declared war on the whole non-Muslim world from day one, which is why there is a Muslim world now. Islam is like the Borgs, it absorbs every land it can then adds it to the body and uses it to absorb more. If America would become part of the Muslim world, it would then work against what’s left of the non-Muslim world, an unthinkable disaster. Congress must declare a moratorium on Muslim immigration, and declare any form of political Islam, especially Sharia to be sedition, and since virtually all Muslims want Sharia the U.S. must wake up and work to reverse immigration starting with financial incentives, followed by forceful immigration if necessary. Homegrown Muslims like the Nation of Islam have long been a dangerous element but alas where can they be deported to? However that problem is handled, importing Muslims is like pouring gasoline on a smoldering match. Muslim immigration is like a Trojan Horse that’s just waiting for us to go to sleep to take the city. Allah and Muhammad are archenemies of the U.S. Constitution, and thus no Muslim can be loyal to it in good conscience. You’re either for Allah or against him, he’s god and controls eternal rewards and punishments – that’s if you believe in him in the first place. Unlike the Jewish and Christian God, Allah wants believers to make the Quran the constitution, and that’s why the Muslim world is best left far far way from our shores, with a global quarantine a good idea. Not while Obama’s president, but how long will he last? The U.S. doesn’t need Obama, but it does need to defend its Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
