Way back in 2007, I challenged Hussam Ayloush of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on a radio show to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist organizations. He repeatedly refused. In his explanation here of why Israel has no right to defend itself, he likens Israel to Nazi Germany, which is patently absurd: in 1948, there were 800,000 “Palestinians,” and now there are five million. So much for “genocide.” Ayloush’s comparison is also ironic in light of the fact that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, lived in Berlin and worked with the National Socialists during World War II. If any group is like the National Socialists today, it’s Hamas, not Israel.
“CAIR LA Director Hussam Aylush [sic] In Oklahoma City: The Palestinians Have The Right To Defend Themselves, But Israel Does Not – People Would Laugh At You If You Said Nazi Germany Had The Right To Defend Itself Against The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising,” MEMRI, December 1, 2023:
Hussam Aylush [sic], executive director of CAIR LA, said in a December 1, 2023 Friday sermon at the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City that for the Palestinians, every day for the past 75 years had been October 7. In a lecture in the mosque later on that evening, he said that claiming Israel has the right to defend itself is just as laughable as claiming that Nazi Germany had the right to defend itself from French resistance, Polish resistance, and Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto. Aylush [sic] recommended that his audience get their news from Qatar’s Al-Jazeera Network, in both English and Arabic, describing it as “the most credible” media outlet covering events in Gaza. Videos of the Friday sermon and the lecture were posted on the YouTube account of CAIR Oklahoma.
Hussam Aylush [sic]: “For 75 years, every single day for the Palestinian people had been October 7.

“People are getting their news from social media. From who? From on the ground photojournalists.
[…]
“Most people trust that news way more than they will trust it from CNN or Fox News, because it is coming live, unchecked, you know there is no one… And it is not one source, 10-20 telling us the same story, with evidence.
“You can’t fake the image of dead children. You can’t fake the image of dying parents. You can’t fake the image of burying… you know, people crying… You can fake one or two if you want to be the Israeli government, etc., as they do once in a while, right?
[…]
“Where do you get your news from outside of photojournalists? Where do you recommend to get news about what is happening there? Al-Jazeera. You might not agree with everything with Al-Jazeera, but certainly Al-Jazeera is the most credible, most comprehensive of the outlets providing material on what is happening there. English or Arabic, if you read Arabic.
[…]
“Israel does not have the right to defend itself, as an occupier to defend itself from the occupied. No, it doesn’t, this is not a rhetorical thing… It doesn’t, legally, under international law. No occupier has the right defend itself from the occupied.
“Imagine we tell Nazi Germany: ‘You have the right to defend yourself against French resistance, or Polish resistance, or Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto’. People would laugh at you if you said that.
“Imagine if you said that Russia has the right to defend itself against Ukrainian resistance – you don’t. As long as you are an occupier, you do not have the right to resist, or to defend yourself. Guess who has the right to defend themselves? The Palestinians.”

They should outlaw Cairn as a treacherous agent of the moslems.
PRCS says
No, that won’t do any good.
In order to finally understand what CAIR’s true mission in America is, the public needs to hear, read, see that organization’s supremacist message. Frequently.
Hudders. says
It is a difficult choice & an ultra complicated issue indeed.
Should as bagsgroove suggests, despicable agents of evil like this Hussam Ayloush be censored immediately. Or perhaps as many others also feel that these criminals be punished as such &/or booted out of the US?
Or should; as PRCS suggests, they be allowed to voice their vile anti-semetic, kuffar hating teachings, in order that the wider public can see the true nature of CAIR & the disturbing reality of the core supremacist messgae & the underlying death cult that drives them?
Which ever choice, we should pray it is the right one. For CAIR, it’s agents & supporters are in the current climate, extremely dangerous & their poisonous issue needs to be dealt with effectively one way or another. On that I think we can all agree.
Hudders. says
I thought I might have a reply. Or conversation on this seminal subject.
PRCS says
CAIR, a pack of wolves in sheep’s clothing, is Hamas in America and they have been very successful in pushing Islam/Muslims here.
Politicians and news outlets have almost totally bought into the propaganda.
In checking CAIR’s main page today: nothing–of course–about Awad’s MEMRI backfire
Awad was standing right behind President Bush, who as very erroneously telling the world–just after the 9/11 attack–that Islam is peace. No doubt Awad told him that.
p.s. I agree with me.
Walter Sieruk says
That awful man ,Hussam Ayloush, had exposed his own ignorance and that he’s a speaking falsehood, by his balderdash statement that “Israel does not have the right to defend itself.”
On the contrary Israel does have every right to defend herself and an a duty and obligation to safeguard her people, as in keeping them from harm
For it’s the responsibility of the government of Israel to protect the safety and lives of citizens , especially since that horrendous jihad entity, Hamas, started this war on October 7th by launching violent and deadly Islamic terrorists attacks on the peaceful Jewish people of Israel.
So the use of the military force against Hamas is an very important and necessary action of self-defense.
As the former US President James Monroe, had rightly and wisely, in a speech declared, “The right of self -defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and individuals.”
Walter Sieruk says
Israel ,indeed , does have every right to defend herself. Furthermore , after those horrendous bloody murderous jihadist attacks by those Muslim terrorists of Hamas, on October 7th an Israeli government official said “They made a big mistake.”
The jihadists of Hamas did ,indeed, did make a “big mistake.” For it’s very fitting and even necessary that the Israeli military and police need to and have to engage in extensive measures of retribution for those Hamas terror /murder attacks.
For it’s very obvious that the jihadists who make up Hamas only understand the language of violent brutal force, therefore that’s exactly they should be dealt with.
To be even more clear and specific , Hamas, should be dealt with defeated and even destroyed is to hit it hard , hit it long and keep on hitting it with strong powerful forceful military strikes until it’s unable to raise up again with its ugly , vicious and deadly jihad Islamic head.
Walter Sieruk says
Those brutal vicious murderous jihadists of Hamas can’t be reasoned with .They cannot and will not respond to the logic of reason. The only language that they are able to understand is that of being on the receiving end of a very strong might power of military might.
As Thomas Jefferson had, very wisely, written, “With every barbarous people…force is law.”

Kick him to some icy part of the North Atlantic and he can shout his lies there. Until he succumbs.

This isn’t about YOUR religious mumb jumbo. It’s about another man-made religion: Islam.
Give it a rest and deal with reality.
somehistory says
blah, blah, glah….You rest if you want to, and I’ll make my own decisions. You are not my boss and don’t get to decide everything that everyone else thinks or believes.
And since you are deaf, get a hearing aid. It’s not polite to shout.
PRCS says
Go ahead, regale us with YOUR irrelevant relgious beliefs/superstiion/myths/stories/nonsense. Continue to make a fool of yourself.
The issue is what another man-made religion–Islam–teaches.
Always flabbergasted by your “God/Jesus will make thinkgs right” posts while group upon group of Nigerian Christians is shot, bludgeoned, stabbed, beheaded, murdered by Muslims.
somehistory says
More blah blah blah from the creature without a future….by choice.
You can stop being flabbergasted by just ignoring what I write. No one is forcing you to read my comments. By now, you should be aware and not be flabbergasted….”surprised or astonished”…in any case.
PRCS says
My past, and future: unfettered by other peoples’ superstitions.
You post. I read. I critique.
somehistory says
You can read what you choose….and I’ll keep on writing. Your “critique” is unimportant. Just as your past and the future you refuse are unimportant..
Just keep on blah, blah blahing, and I’ll keep w4iting what you don’t like.
” Jesus is Lord to the Glory of God the Father.”

My critiques are obviously important enough for you to keep responding to them.
Still waiting for you prove gods and angels (especially a certain “fallen angel”) have ever existed.
somehistory says
Not because they are “important”….I just saw your moniker below several other’s comments where your line began by telling them they are wrong.
and, for the most part, I ignore what you say…..but your continued mocking and your continued insults of my God, make me sure that what I believe is True and Right and will be proven soon enough…that I must warn you of your wrong-minded comments.
Your comments are much like a blow-fly buzzing about the face or head when out working the ground….sooner or later, one must swat it.
“Jesus is Lord to the Glory of God the Father.”
PRCS says
“your continued mocking and your continued insults of my God”
Pretty blasphemous, eh.
“make me sure that what I believe is True and Right”
Yup, just a belief.
“will be proven soon enough”
When your guy in the sky arrives to “take care of business”. Any day now, right?
“I must warn you of your wrong-minded comments”
Communists the world over and you are on the “same page”.
“sooner or later, one must swat it”
Violence. Not surprised.
“Jesus is Lord to the Glory of God the Father.”
More “belief”, with no facts to back that up.

‘Absolutely disgusting’: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed for calling traditional Islamic robes ‘man dresses’ during fourth GOP debate”
Yet, they praise the rape….brutal, death-dealing rapes…and murders as “victory” and cheer the demonic attack.
“Notably, DeSantis has previously made statements that have generated backlash from the Muslim community. During a previous debate, he expressed doubts about the existence of “so-called Islamophobia,” questioning the validity of anti-Muslim sentiments.”

The mixed group of invaders who now call themselves “Palestinians” have occupied Israel’s land for a thousand years and then some. I suppose this means that Palestinians do not, in fact, have a right to defend themselves – much less to do an unprovoked genocide on unarmed civilians like they did in Oct 7th.
By Hussam Aylush‘s own logic, Israel should destroy Palestinians completely and they should offer no resistance. I guess he just forgot about the thousand years prior to 1948.
PRCS says
The first thing to note: there were no Palestinians–anywhere, ever–before 1964. Prior to that, they were, and still are, Arabs.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I recall him in the days after 9/11, when he was an islamic apologist on Fox, and later again, when the second Intifada was taking place in Israel, he’d come on and bat for all the jihadist groups, be it Hamas, al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Islamic Jihad. Only thing surprising in this story is that he’s still alive
libertyORdeath says
I don’t know how most people still can’t see the obvious truth here.
https://open.substack.com/pub/johnfromjamestowne/p/what-is-carpet-bombing-exactly?r=288rw5&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
PRCS says
I wouldn’t say most people don’t realize how significantly carpet bombing and the use of precision guided weapons differ.
But, yes, many surely don’t. As you know, that’s how propaganda works.
As an aside, the D model B-52 bomb load (as used in Viet Nam) was roughly 64,000 lbs., as I recall. Earth shaking carpet bombing for sure.
abu taleb says
Muslims are supposed to be the ruler of the world, so that every land that is not ruled by muslims can be said as being occupied thus the occupiers have no right to self defense. Thus statement may not have heard but I am not surprised if muslims (will) make the the statement when the time is right.
Another example is that all human are bornt as muslims, so those who raise their children as non muslims are preventing people practicing Islam, therefore they should be fought as commanded in 2:217. Maybe muslims haven’t said that, but logically it is correct, so one day the argument will be used to justify attacking every non muslim.
PRCS says
“so one day the argument will be used to justify attacking every non muslim”
They’re working on it.
Troybeam says
History tells us that anyone that is attacked be nation and or person has the right to protect the nation to save its sovereignty and a person to save ones life.
Islam’s thought and teaching has always been to destroy Israel because Mohammed (was he a real person, where’s the evidence aside from a huge black box?) proclaimed that the Jewish people must die due to personal feelings passed down.
Islam still lives in the century of misguided rules and regulations regardless of the passage of time and that people is the mentality of millions of people trapped because the Koran and sharia state anyone who leaves Islam is sentenced to death hanging over their heads.
Islam is the following: seek to conquer nations, create a one world caliphate, kill Jews and all non Muslims,
make sharia law the only law of the land. All that in a nut shell.

C.A.I.R is a foreign agency working against America and should be shut down, deport it’s foreign leaders and jail those who are now citizens as foreign agents.
Come on America stand up for what right, or you will lose everything.
