🚨 Just in New York City’s Times Square, Muslims praying in the street and chanting ‘Allahu Akbar,’ claiming they have taken over New York. pic.twitter.com/QndBDwtDkG

The left in America loves Islam: it’s not Christian, it’s not white (at least as far as the left’s caricature goes, but in reality, there are white Muslims the world over), and it’s not American (at least up until recently), and so it is none of the things that leftists hate most.
This has led leftists to behave toward Islam with the utmost loyalty. When patriots call attention to jihad violence, or to political and supremacist statements from Muslim leaders, leftists routinely brush it all aside as “Islamophobia” and “bigotry.” When I testified recently before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Steven Van Zandt); Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Clueless), and Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Even More Clueless) doggedly insisted in the teeth of mountains of evidence that Sharia is purely private religious law, and that any concern about it is simply simply “racism,” as well as, of course, the old standbys bigotry and “Islamophobia.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

A type of Muslim insurrection of New York City seems to be occurring.
At Times Square that rabble of Muslims had gathered together and yelled out “We are taking over New York City,” and they repeatedly ” Allahu Akbar.”
This might be some kind of Islamic test ,in that those Muslims are attempting to discover just how far they can push tolerance level of the American in New York City.
Thus also could be a deliberate symbolic of action of the dominance and power ,and even a symbolic claim of Muslim owners of NYC. After ,they do have that stealth jihadist Muslim mayor .

what was 9/11?
9/11 firmly established the islamic presence and threat to NYC AND USA
since 9/11 muslims and islam have only grown stronger and their number have increased
the result of 9/11 is shocking, and so toxic and I believe, successful bed bin Laden’s wildest dreams.
How can we ever get rid of their dawah and jihad? We do not indoctrinate and demand of our children endless struggle to dominate and humiliate people who don’t pray as we do..

muzzies could get down and wave their backsides to satan in their homes. However, this wouldn’t satisfy their evil arrogance, so they take over public places.
Last night, I saw this on the news feed. And I would ask ‘why’ don’t they just do it at home, but I know why. They could join others in their barracks or homes, but that wouldn’t be public takeover.
““‘Muslim worshippers face challenges as Ramadan coincides with Winter Olympics in Cortina
In Cortina d’Ampezzo, some Muslim visitors say they have struggled to find a place to pray during Ramadan. ”

Which all those jihad-minded Muslims who are, at least , attempting to have an Islamic take-over and ownership of New York City. As the Muslim speaker declared ay that Islamic rally, “We are taking over new York City”. Further West, in the United States there is that city Dearborn, Michigan is American first Muslim majority and Sharia controlled city. In Texas there is what is called EPIC City is a master-planned Islamic community which Sharia will have mush power and likewise influence over and upon that residents of that city
Therefore, what might be needed is an undated and revised version of the Monroe Doctrine, which was originally designed to stop any further colonialism of the Americas by the European nations, as Spain, Portugal, and France.
That Monroe doctrine included the Latin countries In other words; it would halt European colonialism also in those lands.
Therefore, a new updated and revised version of that Doctrine would put an end , as in not tolerate,, any further “colonization” of the United States by any Islamic countries , if it be by massive Muslim immigration or “political interference ” from or by Islamic nation as ,for example, Iran , Afghanistan , Pakistan.

The only way this could become the reality it is in NYC is because tons of Americans, including Bush 43 and virtually every Democratic member of Congress, have ignored what Islam clearly has stated time and time again, i.e., that it is not interested in assimilation or graciousness anywhere on Earth; it is only interested in supremacy across the entire Earth.
At least a people like the Chinese will never allow this domination by Islam because the Chinese have never explored freedom (and why almost all technological development in China comes from borrowing or stealing the technological developments of the West). So, rather perversely, the dearth of liberty in China will actually prevent it from being taken over by the worst religion of all time. Bitter irony and all that.
Yes, freedom is both the great liberator of mankind but also a mortal enemy of mankind if not used correctly. Because, you see, though freedom is wonderful it has to come with proper knowledge and a keen sense of responsibility lest its misuse devolves into all kinds of destructive things. Well, freedom was developed by the West such as no other civilization ever engaged in but since the 1960s it has NOT been accompanied time and time again by knowledge and responsibility. Thus, among so many other negatives when freedom is not properly used, we have Buttlims in typical ungracious and supremacist mode chanting what they have in America’s largest city.
Islam is awful but so is the misuse of freedom by those who enjoy it. Frankly, almost nothing is clearer to me than this.

Wellington,
An interesting – and thought-provoking post.
Kepha says
@Wellington, for once, you and I have a serious disagreement. While Islam is a diabolical monstrosity from the pits of Hell, China has followed an even worse religion in Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. I speak as someone with the language, family ties, and experience of living on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Two ugly sights: a crowd in a Western public street asking to be Satan’s bacha in bacha bazi and simple-minded dolts waving the stupid little red book in honor of one of the world’s worst human mass-murderers.
Wellington says
I don’t see where we have a serious disagreement, Kepha. While I certainly detest Islam, I also detest Marxism. Respecting which is worse, I actually would assert that Islam is because it has plagued mankind for far longer than Marxism has. I have characterized Islam as the longest-lived malevolent ideology in man’s history. Actually, and another reason why I think Islam worse than Marxism, is that it is the best disguised wicked ideology of all time and thus this partially explains its unfortunate longevity. Many people who see the rot which is Marxism still miss the rot which is Islam due to its hiding behind its religious veil. Both Marxism and Islam of course are mortal enemies of liberty and even if one thinks Marxism worse than Islam, both are evil—and stupid. Choose your poison, eh?
Finally, I would note that China has never embraced true freedom and it helps to explain in part why, like so many other civilizations (e.g., ancient Egypt) except the West, it went into static mode after some impressive early cultural achievements. The sine qua non factor which made the West the greatest civilization of all time is that the West explored the parameters of freedom such as no other civilization or society ever has, though as I already noted in my post above freedom must be accompanied by proper knowledge and a keen sense of responsibility lest it devolve into license—and which is what has happened to the culture of the West over the past half century or more.
Though not religious I am not anti-religious because, as Benjamin Franklin, another skeptic like myself, observed, if man is bad with religion, imagine what he’d be without it, though Islam would be the major exception to this Franklinian rule all the while Marxism proves only too well Franklin’s assessment. Hope you and yours are doing well in a very unwell world.
More than one threat says
Both Islam and all forms of Left Wingism are bad.
Islam has threatened humankind since the 7th Century. It is pervasive, ambitious to achieve global supremacy and willing to use violence, the threat of violence and lawfare, to achieve it’s goals.
The Left has threatened humankind since the 18th or 19th Century. It is also extremely dangerous, in so far as it has cloaked itself in political and moral legitimacy and has been prepared to use violence, lies, subversion and deception to achieve its goals. The political legitimacy of the Left gives it Legistative and Executive power and influence in almost every Western country. In that capacity, the Left has opened the door to Islam and continues to collaborate and act as facilitators and enablers to help Islam erode the West from inside the walls.
If Islam is cancer, then the Left is the most terrible form of viral pathogen, in that it weakens the host West and impedes the West’s ability to prevent and innoculate against the civilizational threat posed by Islam.
In grand stategy, sometimes priorities and sequencing decisions are required. In WW2 the Allies decided broadly to first defeat the National Socialists in Germany before turning their full attention toward Japan. The Allies decided that supporting the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics after June 1941, and overthrowing the Italian Fascists in 1943 were important grand strategy themes because they allowed the Allies to further disadvantage Germany.
The Free World, currently facing the dual threats from both Islam and the Left, will also need to make grand strategic decisions.
Personally I think the Free World must first prioritise the main effort against the Left, before then turning the full weight of attention towards Islam.
If the Free World doesn’t do something about the enabling role of the Left, then the demographic alteration in their Western nations will ensure that in coming decades they will never have the means to do anything about Islam.

Islam is exactly opposite to what the US Constitution and the First Amendment clause stand for. Allowing Muslims to perform their every religious obligation under freedom of religion will mean the destruction of our Constitution and the end of democracy and freedom in America.

Oh how they love to brag and put on a show. When push comes to shove the American sportsmen, hunters and self defense gun owners will take care of their threat to our families if the government can’t do their job.
