Tucker Carlson just said “America had no Islamic terrorism problem before 1948.”
The U.S. Navy was created in 1798 because Islamic terrorists off the coast of Libya kept kidnapping American sailors and merchants, calling them “infidels.”

As Shabbos Kestenbaum notes, America fought its first war against Islamic jihadis, who made their Islamic motivations abundantly clear. Get the details in The History of Jihad. Note also that Carlson says “Yes, they scream ‘Death to America,’ but they do so in response to our behavior in their region, not out of inherent hatred.”
This is a variant of the old libertarian argument against interventionism in the wake of the 9/11 jihad attacks. Ron Paul and Justin Raimondo and others insisted that if we just left them alone, they would leave us alone. The fact that our interventions were misguided and wrongheaded and poorly executed from the start doesn’t change the fact that this is a naive and uninformed argument. In saying this, the libertarians then and Carlson now demonstrate their ignorance of Islamic theology and history. He appears to be unaware of the Qur’anic imperative to “fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah” (8:39), which is an open-ended declaration of war against anyone, no matter how benign and harmless, whose religion is not all for Allah.
The idea that they hate us because of what we’re doing in “their region” also founders on the fact that it wouldn’t be “their region” at all had it not been for a series of aggressive jihad conquests against peoples who were not waging war against the Muslims or threatening them in any way. As The History of Jihad shows, there have been 1,400 uninterrupted years of jihad conquest, and never a period in which there were cordial relations of mutual respect between Muslim and non-Muslim political entities, based on the non-Muslim entities’ good behavior in staying out of “their region.”

OMG. what has happed to Tucker, I mean that. I used to really love his show.. respect his opinion.. maybe he took the vaccine.. or drinks or early dementia.. he is not doing his homework that is for sure.. nuff said.
Victoria says
Me too. Now we can see that the time Tucker spent being a reasonable voice during “covid” and the like was just the “gain their trust” phase. He was always going to become what he is today. His job is to drag as many thoughtless trusting zombies into Jew-hating hell with him as possible…
Fidelity says
Tucker sold out to the Muslims. I wonder how much that cost or what other hold they have on him.
MIGRANT BOB says
Did u hear? He is “buying” a “house” in Qatar… 🇶🇦.
I just can’t see him getting paid off, but I don’t know what’s going on. He is getting annoying to me. He is ignoring some obvious things. Whatever you think of Israel, you MUST agree it’s the best country on the continent of Asia. He plays historical games to cover for Muslims and bash Israel.
Why doesn’t he talk about Sudan? There are more kids dying there. So go and look who’s funding it… it’s his Muslims.
Maybe just maybe… Tucker is a secret Muslim. If he was, he obviously couldn’t tell us.
Brenrod says
Why can’t hyou see him getting paid off, to me that’s the obvious reason. His finances have likely skyrocketed from increased following and clicks alone. Muslims and leftists are ecstatic with him. He knows what he is doing. It’s all fir personal gain.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Brenrod
Interesting that you should say that. These days, I don’t notice many attacks on Tucker from the Left like there used to be, say, 5 years ago. Maybe they’ve decided that he’s been useful in dividing the Right, and have therefore let him be
MIGRANT BOB says
Brennod
Tucker was making 20 million a year or more at Fox. On top, he is the heir to a massive fortune in the billions.
Even if he wasn’t an heir, I do not believe he’d take ten million a year or something because we’d find out and he would be totally discredited. Even so, I don’t think he’s corrupt anyway.
His views tell me a lot. He denounces the atomic bombs on Japan. That says a lot because it shows he’s not much of a two step thinker….
If you don’t drop the bombs, then our soldiers will die, half a million they say to take Japan, AND EVEN MANY MORE of his friends, the enemy. More die if we don’t drop the atomic bombs!
He’s on my nerves! He will kill us in the midterms we are doing so so much good right now!

That’s one thing that has dismayed me. A year or more ago, the entire Right was largely united against Kamala, Walz and the entire woke agenda. Now, thanks to Tucker and his shift towards Qatar and Iran, coupled w/ his antisemitism, there are plenty of people on the Right, particularly the yutes (as Rush Limbaugh used to call them), who are pretty antisemitic to pretty deranged levels. It would have been one thing if they were simply not supportive of Israel, but they want the US to intervene militarily against Israel. And then you have Trump saying good things about Qatar and Turkey
That makes me nervous for this November. The economy has still not recovered, and on top of that, there is the sabre rattling on Greenland. I’m just afraid that come November, one side or the other won’t turn up. If the party decides to go w/ the Trump agenda particularly wrt the Middle East, where Qatar and Turkey are appeased, then I don’t see anti-jihadists, particularly pro-Jewish Republicans, turning out. If it goes w/ Israel and Pahlavi, I can see the Tucker-Fuentes-Candace axis sitting it out. I don’t think that either side on its own has the numbers to beat the Dems: all they have is the numbers to sabotage the GOP

MIGRANT BOB says

Israel Iran and all of this should be a NON ISSUE for anyone who loves America. You have to vote Republican this stuff does not matter at all.
These other people want to destroy our country, steal our wealth and end our freedom. Those are not exaggerations. So I can not understand this Tucker and Candace side one bit.
I disagree with you on the Zionist side. I think they will come out anyway because they aren’t obsessed to the level the others have become.
There are so many more brutal regimes than Israel but they ar hyper focused on Israel. I have a friend that is pro Iran, and I showed him all the evidence of the deaths. They are so anti Israel, and so jealous of Jews and Israel, they don’t care what the enemy of Israel does, as long as it hates Israel.
He’s willing to risk everything and not vote just to get back at Israel. And Trump? Does Trump really think he’s getting credit from these people from trying to play it fair between Israel and the others? No, they call him an Israel puppet no matter what. So fuck it, just roll with Israel 100 percent!

Tucker Carlson seems to be about 150 years out of date. He either drank the Kool-Aid or got the Vaccines. Either way, his mind seems to have gone off track.

He drank, he got the jab and was offered some big bucks to lie and lie and lie some more.

I got the Covid vaccine. Whether that was a good idea or not ultimately, it did not turn me into a crazed antisemite and lover of Jihad terrorists.
Victoria says
Does anyone know what he’s talking about? No attacks before 1948? But we had no attacks in 1948… nothing really shows up until 1993.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Well, if you count attacks on Americans abroad, there was the attack on the US embassy and marine barracks in Beirut in 1983 by Hizbullah
Besides, we fought not just the Barbary pirates, but from 1902-1913, we also fought the Moros in the Philippines following the Spanish-American war
DavidW says
I think there is a story about the Philippines “war”. I think a commander there ordered a dead muslim fighter buried with a dead pig to discourage other followers of the false prophet from continuing the fight.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I believe it was Gen Pershing

Thanks for enlighten me on the wars that I don’t know much about.
Troybeam says
1952 Immigration & Nationality Act, became public law 414, see chapter 2 section 212.
Democrats changed Islam’s description from a theocracy to that of religion.
That is how Islam was allowed into America, thus giving Americans the belief that Islam is a religion when it is not.
Winston 101 says
Tucker Carlson is to Sunni Islam what Walter Duranty was to Soviet Communism.
At best he’s enamored by his own vanity and fame.
I will stick to what I have actual proof of since his own words are clearly enough to discredit him.
He’s so full of himself that he can make a stupid public statement like “the U.S. did not having an Islamist terror problem before 1948.” When all the facts of the Barbary Wars I and II clearly refute his statement, and he clearly must know those facts.
As Duranty lied about there being no Holodomor in Ukraine while he was The NY Times’ “Man in Moscow”, Carlson now lies about the source of Islamic Terror being U.S. Foreign Policy.
Carlson’s lies show him to be Sunni Islam’s “Man in Doha.”

Thank you. This is a good piece of information.
Siddi Nasrani says
Agreed, I call Islam a CULT. But technically it can be called a religion.
” The etymology of the word “religion” traces back to Latin “religiō,” which means “to bind” or “to tie.” It was borrowed into Old French and Anglo-Norman, where it referred to a sense of moral obligation and reverence for the sacred. The term reflects a deep respect for what is sacred and a commitment to a moral framework.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
For someone who was a part of a Californian elite family, whose father was in the CIA, one would have thought that he knew about the Barbary pirates. Plus there was Gen Pershing’s encounter in the Philippines w/ Moros jihadists, which ended in 1913, way before 1948
James Lincoln says
I can’t trust Tucker’s opinion on anything anymore.
Kinda sad, really…

Tucker Carlson: ‘America had no Islamist terrorism problem before 1948’
……………………………………………………………………
*Really*? What about the Barbary Pirates kidnapping and enslaving American seamen?
Albert van Rijn says
Jewhater Carlson is a useful dhimmi for the islamists.
abu taleb says
Even if America did not have Islamisy terrorism problems, other areas in the world had already big problems.
In early 19th century in Indonesia (then a Dutch colony called Nederlands Indie), a group of Islamist lead by some clerics terrorized the area, killing local people and raping women, trying to establish an Islamic state. Finally the locals asked help from the Dutch to overcome the terrorism and as a result, the Dutch gained some control and influence in the area. The irony is that the terrorism is considered as a heroic act and the leader becomes a national hero simply because they fought the Dutch while in fact their act was the cause of the Dutch got foothold in that area. I would rather call them as traitors and criminals, and of course jihadis too.
Fred says
The Jihadis are buttering Tucker’s toast. With the same knife they will be cutting off heads.
R G says
I bet he’s going to convert to islam
࿗Infidel࿘ says
He might as well. When he thinks that “allah” means the same thing as “God”, even though it’s very specifically Muhammad’s sock-puppet. If anyone disbelieves this, look at Malaysia, where Malay-speaking Christians get into trouble for using the term “allah” to mean “God”, when they’re not acknowledging Muhammad as his final prophet
He already thinks “submitting to God”, as in the meaning of “islam”, is a good thing

Jefferson Battles the Barbary Pirates – 1776 History
President Thomas Jefferson had just been inaugurated for his first term. He believed that building a navy and putting it into action was a better alternative than giving payments because those payments were always subject to the whims of the Barbary sultans.
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK THE DATES OF RECORDED HISTORY BEFORE POSTING AND REPOSTING ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL HISTORY OF THE USA. THE ORIGINAL BY https://twitter.com/ShabbosK IS OFF BY 22 YEARS.
THOMAS JEFFERSON PAID AN ACTUAL VISIT TO THE THEN HEAD GUY TO FIND OUT WHY THEY WERE ATTACKING SHIPS IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS..IT WASNT JUST US SHIPS IT WAS EVERY NATIONS SHIPS. HE ALMOST DIDNT GET OUT ALIVE TO COME BACK AND TELL THE TALE.
THE MERCHANT MARINES WERE CREATED AS A RESPONSE TO THE ISLAMIC THREAT. THEY WERE ALSO USED TO DEFEAT KING GEORGE THE 3RD..
DATES MATTER.
NO ARAB IS EVEN TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY BY LAW.. WASHINGTON ORDERED THOSE SHIPS BURNT DOWN AS SOON AS THEY WERE SEEN APPROACHING AMERICAN WATERS THEY WERE NOT TO MAKE PORT OR DROP ANCHOR.NO CREWMAN WAS ALLOWED TO SET FOOT ON AMERICAN SOIL.
YES I PUT MY COMMENT IN ALL CAPS LIVE WITH IT OR JUST MOVE ON.
Ralph says
One incorrect bit or wording in your interesting post is that it was the “Merchant marines” who were formed to combat the Barbary Pirates. Close, but no cigar.
It was the United States Marine Corps that was formed 11/10/75 at Tun Tavern, Philadelphia.

BECAUSE ANTIFA BLM CAIR SPLC ISLAM ALL ARE IN VIOLATION AND WHAT THEY STAND FOR AND THEIR GOALS CAN ALL BE ADDRESSED AND DEALT WITH .ANY PERSONS AFFILIATED OR SYMPATHETIC TO THEM ARE ALSO IN VIOLATION OF THE ANARCHY LAWS IN THIS COUNTRY..
NO MOSQUE SHOULD EXIST ON AMERICAN SOIL THEY ARE DEEMED MILITARY COMMAND POSTS BY THE US MILITARY. THEY ARE USED AS MILITARY POSTS. JIHAD IS FACILITATED THRU MOSQUES IN NON MUSLIM COUNTRIES.THEY CALL THEIR SOLDIERS 5 TIMES A DAY. THEY VOW TO DESTROY THE KAFIRS..THEY VOW TO ESTABLISH ISLAM EVERYWHERE.
JIHAD IS NOT AN INNER STRUGGLE THE IDIOT WESTERNERS ARE JUST THAT IDIOTS.
A SOCIETY THAT HAS NO GOLDEN RULE..DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOUD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU
A SOCIETY THAT DEMANDS YOUR SUBMISSION OR YOUR DEATH CANNOT LIVE AMONG YOU PEACEFULLY. MUSLIMS MADE A RULE THEY CAN KILL OTHER MUSLIMS FOR NOT BEING MUSLIM ENOUGH..THERE IS NO MODERATE MUSLIM. THE MODERATE WILL KILL YOU WHEN THERES ENOUGH AND HES GOT THE NUMBERS TO DO IT.
THE WAHABBIS SAUDI ARABIA THE SHEITES IRAQ THE SUNNI IRAN THE LAST 2 MIGHT BE MIXED AROUND BUT THOSE ARE 3 ISLAMIC TRIBES THEY HATE EACH OTHER BUT THEY HATE THE WEST MORE AND WILL WORK TOGETHER TO DESTROY IT. ISRAEL IS NOT THEIR ONLY ENEMY. THEY WOULD DESTROY AMERICA FIRST IF THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD AND THEN TRY TO DESTROY ISRAEL BECAUSE SHOE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY BACKUP. THAT IS WHY TRUMP BOMBED IRANS NUCLEAR SITES
Lisa Tea says
Qur’an 8:39 – “FIGHT until there is no more “Fitnah,” (disbelief and polytheism, worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will ALL be for ALLAH ALONE in the WHOLE of the WORLD.”
Muslims invaded and colonized Israel, the Middle East, North Africa, parts of India and Eastern Europe, swathes of Asia, and most of Spain for nearly 800 years. Their long-term goal is world domination. Everyone likes to talk about how peaceful their rule in Spain was, but at one point they death marched hundreds (or was it thousands) of Christians to another part of Spain, then slaughtered them all.
And Muslims wouldn’t have the oil industry if not for westerners, some probably Christians, coming and bothering them with the discovery of petroleum in their God-forsaken deserts.

I thought Tucker Carlson was a wonderful person and I am so sad to find out he is a different person then I thought he was. I am wondering perhaps he had so many death threats against him and his family he finally submitted to the Muslims, that would change a person when your own government did not care and would not help him. I believe he was in a situation and did not know what to do, his own country abandoned him. It would be nice if a good reporter would ask him questions so we could understand the man. I have not given up on Tucker yet.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
No, he’s a continuation of a line of media antisemites on the Right. If you remember, back in the 90s, on CNN, there was a debate show called Crossfire, which had a Liberal and a Right wing host, as well as a Liberal and a Right wing guest. The Libs were usually Geraldine Ferraro, Al Hunt and some others whose name I forget. The ones on the Right were Pat Buchanan, John Sununu (President GHW Bush’s former chief of staff), Bob Novak and Kate O’Beirne
On this show, usually, the Leftists there would be defenders of Israel (unlike Dems today), whenever that was the topic, while w/ the exception of Kate O’Beirne, the other three – Buchanan, Sununu and Novak – were all anti-Israel. Tucker arrived somewhat later, but he shared that same antisemitic streak as those three. It was under wraps at MSNBC and at FNC, but after October 7th, it all came back
I suspect that the funding he got from Omed Malik as well as the Qataris was more of a catalyst in helping him go over to the dark side, but it wasn’t something that he was innately against throughout his life
Jerome from Layton says
USMC: …..to the shores of Tripoli, that’s also when they got one of their nicknames LEATHER NECK because of the “strike their throat” mantra. That was WAY before 1948.
