The idea goes back to Muhammad’s earliest biographer, an eighth-century Muslim named Ibn Ishaq, who explained the progression of Qur’anic revelation about warfare. First, he said, Allah allowed Muslims to wage defensive warfare. But that was not Allah’s last word on the circumstances in which Muslims should fight. Ibn Ishaq explains offensive jihad by invoking a Qur’anic verse: “Then God sent down to him: ‘Fight them so that there be no more seduction,’ i.e. until no believer is seduced from his religion. ‘And the religion is God’s’, i.e. Until God alone is worshipped.” The Qur’an verse Ibn Ishaq quotes here (2:193) commands much more than defensive warfare: Muslims must fight until “religion is all for Allah” — that is, until Allah alone is worshipped. Ibn Ishaq gives no hint that that command died with Muhammad. Many other Islamic scholars throughout the ages have echoed this understanding.
In practice in the twenty-first century, we have Muslims coming into the West and insisting that Islam is peaceful and benign, and enlisting leftist allies to propagate these claims and enforce them by smearing and demonizing those who dissent. As the numbers of Muslims grow, however, they become more emboldened, and more forthright about their real agenda. As we see here. Not too long ago, few Muslims dared to enunciate support for jihad groups, and denied doing so when confronted. Now many avow support for jihad groups openly and without hesitation. The next step will be jihad on American streets.
“At Dearborn, Michigan ‘Hands Off The Middle East’ Rally, Local Media Continue To Ignore And Cover Up Extremism, As Islamist Activists Call Out ‘Uninvited Guests From The CIA And FBI,’ Saying ‘We Don’t Care Any More’ If They Want To ‘Call Dearborn The Jihad Capital’ And ‘Call Us All Terrorist Sympathizers’, Saying: ‘We Are Not Ashamed To Mention The Word ‘Hizbullah’ Or ‘To Say That We Stand Very Strongly With The Lebanese Resistance’; ‘Thank You’ To MEMRI For ‘Translating Every Word I Say’ In Arabic – ‘MEMRI Can Go To Hell!,'” MEMRI, August 5, 2024:
Speakers at the “Hands Off the Middle East” rally in Dearborn, Michigan on August 5, 2024 emphasized the political power of the local Muslim community, supported U.S.-designated terrorist groups such as Hizbullah, and said that MEMRI can go to Hell.
Amer Zahr, a Dearborn activist and comedian, who was the MC of the event, said that Israel “assassinates our leaders,” that protesters are no longer afraid of American law enforcement, and are not ashamed to say they stand with Hizbullah. Ali Alaa, from Doctors against Genocide, said that Muslim activists in Dearborn have been approached by the campaigns of both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump for their support because they know that “the next president of the U.S. is coming from Dearborn.”
Osama Siblani, the publisher and editor-in-chief of The Arab American News thanked MEMRI for translating his interviews in Arabic on foreign television channels into English. He continued to say that it was MEMRI’s executive director Steven Stalinsky who wrote the Wall Street Journal opinion piece titled Welcome to Dearborn, America’s Jihad Capital, adding: “MEMRI Can Go to Hell!”
Local news coverage of the rally by “metro Detroit’s Arab American community” – for example, Fox 2 Detroit and the Associated Press, failed to mention the extremist statements at the event, including MC Amer Zahr’s message to the U.S. government: “Whenever we have a rally in Dearborn, we don’t forget to welcome our uninvited guests from the CIA and FBI… There are no words that you can use against us that scare us any more” and that “we don’t care any more” if they want to “call Dearborn the ‘jihad capital’ and “call us all terrorist sympathizers” and that they had “tried to make us ashamed of saying ‘from the river to the sea.” He added, “We are not ashamed to mention the word ‘Hizbullah’; we are not ashamed to say that we stand very strongly with the Lebanese resistance.”
Amer Zahr, Dearborn comedian and activist: “It is not just Palestine, they will come after us everywhere, and so we have to make sure we keep our voices loud.
[…]
“Everything that they have done is to try and break the Arab and Palestinian spirit, whether it is assassinating our leaders or raping our prisoners and our hostages.”
[…]
Alaa Ali, Doctors against Genocide: “In the past few weeks, we have been approached by Kamala Harris’s campaign and by Trump’s campaign. They are trying to gain our votes. They are trying to gain our trust. We told them: ‘We will not give you our votes until you show us on the ground what you are going to be doing.’ Those people don’t care about anything but our votes. Any one of us who really has a conscience, who still feels the oppression that everyone is feeling in the Middle East, will not just go and vote, we will knock on every door next to him, and take them by hand to the polls tomorrow to vote. We will show them that we have numbers, we have votes, we can change everything around. They know that the next president of the United States is coming from Dearborn.”
[…]
Zahr: “Whenever we have a rally in Dearborn, we don’t forget to welcome our uninvited guests from the CIA and FBI that are here as well. Welcome. We have nothing to hide. We are not ashamed that we stand here. There are no words that you can use against us that scare us anymore. They want to come and call Dearborn the ‘Jihad Capital.’ They want to call us all terrorist sympathizers – we don’t care anymore.
“We are here, standing up for justice and standing up for our people, and there is no way that you will scare us anymore. They tried to make us ashamed of saying: ‘from the River to the Sea’ – are we ashamed?”
Crowd: “No!”
Zahr: “Are we ashamed?”
Crowd: “No!”
Zahr: “Let’s try it once: From the River to the Sea…”
Crowd: “Palestine will be free!”
[…]
Osama Siblani, publisher and Editor-in-Chief of The Arab American News: “Let me tell you about something. Every time I appear on a television station overseas and speak in Arabic, there is an organization called MEMRI – Middle East Media Research Institute, this is the same institute whose executive editor [sic] wrote his infamous opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal about Dearborn and called it a jihadist city.
“So every time I appear on Arabic television, they take my statements and translate them into English, and they broadcast it, put it on video, and YouTube. So I want to take this opportunity to say to them: ‘Thank you for doing so. I appreciate the effort of translating every word I say.’ So I am saying now: ‘Go to Hell!’
[…]
“You see, in the first couple of days of this war, ten months ago, I spoke at the function that we did at the civic center, and I said that Hamas is not the terrorist. Ten months from then, I say it now. The terrorist is Netanyahu and his government and Biden and his administration.”
[…]
Zahr: “We are not ashamed to say that we stand with our Iraqi brothers and sisters that are fighting against occupation and apartheid, and they have been fighting against American occupation and apartheid since the first Gulf War.
[…]
“We are not ashamed to say that we stand with our Lebanese brothers and sisters protecting the north of Palestine, protecting the south of Lebanon.
[…]
“We are not ashamed to say the word Hizbullah. We are not ashamed to say that we stand very strongly with the Lebanese resistance.
[…]
“And finally, and last but definitely not least, our brothers who put a little toll plaza in the Red Sea.”

Re: Whizz-bowl-ahh. There is nothing wrong with taking a whizz, but there is something wrong with deliberately murdering and maiming dozens of Druze kids who are playing soccer.
It’s also wrong for gibbering, low-IQ terror leaders to fire thousands of rockets every month in order to genocide Israeli civilians.
From the land/To the sea/Israel will be free! That sounds good.

These terrorist scum, feel that they now have the numbers to be open about their intentions.
There are places in Britain where mozlums are at 30% of the population; and we have seen in very recent days, what that means for the populace who are not mozlum.
In Dearborn, MI, the % of mozlums is probably a lot more than 30, but Wikipedia says that “arab-americans” number about 29% of the population. And most are Lebanese.
“The Arab Muslim community has built the Islamic Center of America, the largest mosque in North America,[32] and the Dearborn Mosque. ”
These terror supporters, which makes each supporter of terror, a terrorist, are feeling the power of their numbers. And law enforcement has been slow to act, which gives them the feeling that nothing will happen to them no matter what they say or do.
When these blowhards tell MEMRI to “go to hell,” the reporters should all say in response, “You first.”
CalvinsLutheran says
A Muslim source has said that once any population reaches 7% Muslim it is Islamic dominated. Look at the EU. Look at Dearbornistan is that not true? The West does not realize that you must stand for something. In our days of Western Supremacy we fought for Judeo-Christian values and principles. Today is the Postmodernist DECONSTRUCTIONIST ERA. As the saying goes “if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything. For 1400 years the Western World has been attacked by Jihadist Islam. Today the West is under siege by Islamic Supremacist Jihad. Indeed persistence pays off. As anyone knows the Leftards are hypo-analytical and think that with a liberal arts education you can build skyscrapers and assemble offshore oil rigs using poetry. Angela Merkel is totally silent nowadays as will be Kamala Harris and her constituents when their Middle Eastern puppeteers shush them at will. The Muslim mind apprehends and closely observes that when Americans are Alexis de Tocqueville inspired that Islam stands no more chance against the West than it did during the Siege of Vienna. But today the Muslim mind keenly observes that Queers for Palestine is symbolic of the wet particleboard that largely sustains today’s Democratic superstructure. Question: Do Joy Behar, Briahna Joy Gray, and Joy Reid think that Kamala “Giggles” Harris will be respected by the male hyper-chauvinist Jihadi Muslim world ?? Can they use poetics to assess the Game Theory of the Muslim mind that has been honed to perfection over 1400 years vis a vis the sophomoric strategic knowledge of the American national society? Half of Americans today have no coherent worldview to sustain their lives in the future. The anti-Christ could very well be Islamic. Do Americans think that Muslims do not watch The View and laugh at the ease with which they can exact DHIMMITUDE from the US as they already have done in the EU (aptly referred to as Eurabia?) The combined collective cognitive ability of Sunny Hostins, Whoopi Goldberg, The Squad, The Rainbow ? population and Cori Bush is the full extent and magnitude of opposition they will encounter in their aspiration to conquer America if KS wins in November.
Mike says
Having a liberal arts degree is not a bad thing, per se. However, it can become a bad thing if, as you point out, it causes one to become over-analytical and supercilious, and to believe that it is the be-all and end-all of education.

Apparently only Arab imperialism is allowed

These are the crowds disrupting Kamala rallies and accusing her of genocide, even though she’s been as hostile to Israel as possible w/o declaring war on Jerusalem. Hope they lead their crowds to vote for either Cornel West or Jill Steyn. Incidentally, are those 2 on the ballots in Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia? It would be hilarious if those states went red b’cos they pull for either of those other two, or sit it out

OT: Ilhan Omar wins her primary

The hope that she’d collapse like Bush or Bowman unfortunately didn’t materialize
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Other bad news: in November, her (R) opponent will be another muslimah – Dalia al-Aqidi. So she may not lock the muslim vote, but I can’t see Republicans in her district being enthusiastic about her opponent
Michael Skok says
Don’t we have an anti-Muslim leader? Robert Spencer is not a leader. All he wants to do is write books.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Closest we ever had to one was Tom Tancredo, back in the 00s. And for a brief while, Donald Trump after San Bernardino in 2016
Mike says
Didn’t Tancredo say something to the effect that, should al-Qaeda or another Islamist group caary out another terror attack on U.S. soil to rival or surpass the 9/11 attacks, then the U.S. government should seriously contemplate destroying both Mecca and Medina?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah. For which the Bushes ostracized him
I was disappointed that he wasn’t a part of the MAGA movement in 2016
JimJFox says
Spencer is not Auntie Muslim he is anti-islam, jihad in particular.
Do try to educate yourself.
James Lincoln says
Michael,
Robert Spencer is a top educator regarding the truthful coverage of islam and muslims.
And that takes some doing.

An islamic joke
What has one leg,two right hands, three godess daughters,suffers from an astonishing lack of omniscience,does not even understand human Biology yet insists women wear hijabs and admits to being a champion deceiver?
allah
But that’s not the joke:the joke is that muslims believe such an obviously fake bogus entity is..god.
And apparently they cannot see that…allah:the “knower of ALL things”{ALL??}the god that sufffers from a lack of omniscience
OLD GUY says
Why are these muslim lovers here in America, if they love islam and sharia they should back a bag and go where islam is loved and practiced. But no they are here to destroy our country because they hate America.
Left Coast says
These are “Collonizers” . . . and as their numbers grow so does their bravado . . .
Scandinavian countries are figuring out ways to deport them back to their home countries. USA needs to do the same!
MadPatriot says
TODAY WE MUST reach out to others IN PEACE, KINDNESS & and CARE about the fact that there
are so many LOST people all around today. WHY? Because things are so evil now and the truth that
we were founded on is being trashed by half of our own people and government, which is horrific! IT
IS UP TO US TO CHANGE IT ALL BACK TO AT LEAST CENTER AND REBUILD AGAIN FROM THAT. WE MUST BE REAL, HONEST, DEACENT, MORAL PEOPLE ONCE AGAIN! THERE IS MUCH THAT IS WRONG; EVIL IS ACCEPTED AS GOOD AND GOOD IS PUT DOWN AS NOT BEING ACCEPTABLE
OR ‘PROGRESSIVE’. SUCH IS MAKING US A TERRIBLE COUNTRY FULL OF FOOLS, BAD WAYS,
SITUATIONS, AND DISGUSTING HAPPENINGS THAT SOME PEOPLE THINK IS JUST FINE! THAT IS WHAT IS DISTROYING THE WONDERFUL NATION THAT WE BUILT WITH SUCH HARD WORK, FAITH & THE BLESSINGS OF GOD WHEN WE WERE LIVING AS HIS PEOPLE! NOW SATAN MUST BE SO VERY HAPPY THAT HE HAS SO MANY CONVERTS FOR HELL! WHAT DOES THAT SAY OF
HUMANS; US AND AMERICANS THESE DAYS!!! IT IS SICKENING!
It is easy today to become angry at all the evil and total insanity there is floating around the nation & world! WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? SATAN! He is trying to win his fight too against all humanity! AND HE DOES NOT CARE WHO HE HARMS OR WHAT THEY BELIEVE OR DO NOT, AS LONG AS THEY ARE
EVIL LIKE HIM. If humans were smart and cared about the truth, they would get to a church of their choice and challenge it for the truth of the Bible! If not truthful to His word, then leave and find one
that is of the truth! Then they would share that with others so more will be with us when we go to
Heavan. That is the commission of Christians but so many have turned their backs against it because satan has claimed their minds and hearts…how horrible to be one of those people and there are many.
Peace, faith and sharing what is right, true and real is vital to wake people up to their closed minds and hearts. There has to be a revival in faith and people to re-educate themselves to the Constitution of America to save this nation! We were founded predominantly by CHRISTIANS AND TO BE FREE IS ONLY TRUE FREEDOM WITH GOD, JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FAITH FROM THE WORD OF GOD FROM THE BIBLE! Wake up people and seek Him and the Truth. We are praying for you all to
find truth and faith to join us in Heaven for eternity instead of Hell forever.
