Tapper assumes that all criticism of Islam is “hate” and “bigotry.” He never even alludes to the fact that Islam has doctrines calling for violence against unbelievers. He would dismiss any evidence of such doctrines as more “bigotry,” without bothering to examine that evidence. Yet what if there really is a problem? What if Islam is different from other religions in its aggressive and violent teachings? Can we even talk about this? Must we avoid being “bigoted” even to the point of national suicide?

I decry Jake Tapper.

CNN’s stance is known. What I am interested in is on the Right: we know that there are good people like Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin… who are not morons on islam. Question is – would any host on Fox, Newsmax or OANN dare to side w/ Sen Tuberville or Congressman Gill? Or is the network still at the service of Alaweed bin Talal?
R G says
On Fox News Laura Ingraham , Jesse Watters and Mark Levin have all commended Senator Tuberville Representative Fine among others, and even has them on their shows. They’ve all spoken out against sharia laws here in the USA as well as the lack of assimilation by muslims. On Newsmax I know Carl Higbie and Michael Savage have spoken out against sharia and islam although I don’t know if Senator Tuberville was on their show.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
On Newsmax. I once saw Carl Higby interview David Wood about his experience in Dearborn. Newsmax is a lot better than it was during the Obama years, when Mr Spencer had a hostile interview there
R G says
Tonight Laura Ingraham commented that Starmer was afraid to help us because of his growing Muslim population and later in her show talking with Byron York and Jason Chaffetz, she showed jihadis cheering on the mullahs in Iran and Hamas and Hezbollah in Manhattan and said how sad this is, coming on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, that this is Momdahni’s New York.
More than one threat says
The media is predominately Left Wing, which explains why they downplay any criticism of Islam. The Left Wing media is part of the Left Wing & Muslim alliance.
You can’t defeat Islam without first defeating the Left.

A one sided alliance.
How would Ilhan Omar respond re: ‘gay rights’ were she to be asked?

Islam is a boil that needs to be lanced. When these terror attacks happen there needs to be consequences. Shut down some mosques, deport some Imams and anyone with a hint of involvement or support for radical beliefs like other people are infidels, Sharia law, genital mutilation, and Islam being superior and will one day take over the world.
Tony says
The Leftist Media is spiritually, intellectually bankrupt because the Qur’an is clear about Islam’s Sanctioned Discrimination. Allah in Qur’an 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Billy says
Allah permits Muslim discrimination against Non-Muslims because Muslims are the best of Allah’s creatures while Non-Muslims are the lowest of creatures. Allah in Qur’an 98:6-7 says, “6 Surely those who became infidels, from the People of the Book[Jews and Christians] and polytheists, will abide in the fire of hell forever. Those are the worst of the creatures. 7 Surely those who believed[Muslims] and did good deeds, those are the best of the creatures.” See also Qur’an 8:55.

Jake is just another self loathing jew who doesn’t know which side his bread is buttered on
Wellington says
Tapper is a suck-up for one wrong cause after another. Let’s not forget that he nixed comments about Biden’s declining mental acuity on several occasions, including with Lara Trump who was just trying to state what so many clearly saw respecting Biden being out of it.
Of course, after Biden’s disastrous debate performance with Trump on June 27th, 2024 and once Trump won the Presidency in November of 2024, only then did Tapper come out with a book that averred that, gosh, he and so many others didn’t realize how far Biden was gone. What a liar. What a doofus. And now he’s playing the role of the good, obedient dhimmi. Tapper is a joke and should be looked upon as such.

Sounds like Jake deverted to islam.

Ira Edwards says
We can not deal realistically with Islam until we understand Islam.
AFRAID TO UNDERSTAND ISLAM Ira Edwards imedwds@gmail.com
Muslims are victims, worthy of sympathy, intimidated by Islam. To say this means that I am Islamophobic, racist; a Muslim hater. That is intimidation, to prevent anyone from saying anything negative about Islam.
How will anyone ever be allowed to tell the truth about an ideology that tells followers to kill unbelievers, to kill a person leaving that faith; that Muslims are superior and non-Muslims have no right to life; that to examine the ideology is hatred; that the ideology advances with intimidation and killing, not with “good news.” We need truth, however we may be shamed for it.
Should such an ideology be honored as “one of the world’s great religions?” We are intimidated to do so, hiding that Islam is an evil conquering power. So goes France, Germany, Belgium, England, and –and US? If you do not know this, learn while you can, before learning is forbidden, and valid sources of learning are gone.
Clarify Islam vs. Muslim. Islam is an ideology. To Muslims that ideology is religion. Muslims are victims of that ideology. The ideology is called a religion, which it is, but is tied to deadly aggressive politics. Most Muslims have absorbed or retained some amount of decency that is less deadly and more tolerant than is full Islam. Most Muslims have gained or retained morality from cultures that Islam replaced, or from contacts with other cultures. What we often see in practice by non-violent Muslims is only a fragment of Islam.
This writing uses “Islam” as full Islam with Sharia, controlling governments, logic, thought and action of Muslims and others. An Imam told me, “There is only one Islam!” No moderate or gentle Islam, only Islam as the Koran and Islamic scholars define it. Islam is the ideology of those who believe and follow the Koran and other Muslim writings. Happily, many Muslims do not follow all of Islam.
The Koran teaches some morality — but only Muslim to Muslim.
You have heard “Islam is peace.” But that peace is total submission to Islam.
Islam’s standard claim is “Islam is submission.” This has some validity, as Islamic doctrine calls for submission to Allah. In practice, Muslims are required to submit to Muslim authority, without question, and at several levels of authority. Women must submit to Men, and children to fathers. That’s not much different from other traditions.
I see a more fitting meaning, more specific to Islam:
ISLAM IS INTIMIDATION
Intimidation is influence, and more. Intimidation is persistent threat, and more. Intimidation is a dishonest and brutal way of influence and control. When a loving parent threatens a child or punishes, this could be intimidating, but normally is not relentless, dishonest or brutal. Intimidation may be a factor in families, communities, states and nations, but where there is love and caring, intimidation is not the means of influence. But, as a former Muslim knew, there is no love in Islam. And as a top Mullah proudly declared, there is no joy in Islam. Only by suppressing some of Islam, as most Muslims do (without admitting it), can a Muslim have some love and joy. But even with suppressing much of Islam, Muslims tend to be intimidators. You would never want to meet a full follower of Muhammad.
In a Muslim family, boys intimidate sisters. An older boy intimidates his mother. The mother intimidates daughters. The father intimidates them all. Neighbors intimidate neighbors. The community intimidates individuals and families. The Mosque and the Imam intimidates the community. Islamic scholars and rulers intimidate each other, and they intimidate communities. Islamic cults and nations intimidate each other and intimidate their populations. Rulers and scholars are intimidated by Islamic doctrines, the Koran and other scriptures. The Koran is claimed to be word-for-word from Allah, and allows no doubt or variation.
The many, varied and striking descriptions of hell in the Koran, with little chance of escaping it, surely is intimidating to any who believe. References to paradise are intimidating in a way, by making access to it unlikely, only for an uncertain few. The assurance of paradise is reserved for those who kill or are killed for Allah. Others can only hope that Allah will have mercy.
Muslims live under the intimidation of scriptures, doctrines, scholars and rulers and each other. Intimidation is from top to bottom, bottom to top, and crossways. And out! Islam aims to own everything and leave nothing free.
In practice, individuals are psychologically able to suppress and ignore the intended fears, and live as necessary for a daily peaceful and functioning culture. But most are not hesitant to intimidate others. Wherever Islam is, everything non-Islam is intimidated. After WW2 numerous countries brought in Muslims from the Mideast as guest workers. Temporary became permanent. Many followed until Muslims were an active minority. Church bells and Crosses were offensive to Muslims. They complained. Politicians, to avoid being called Islamophobic, complied. It became socially offensive, and in some places unlawful, to say anything negative about Islam or to offend a Muslim. Whole nations are intimidated.
A strange thing! Intimidation wins over rationality. When the towers fell, we expected that such malice would discredit Islam. It did, in places, for a day. But with time, Islam benefited greatly from that crime. That act was followed by a great increase in numbers and influence of Islam. Strange thinking: After the 2023 Hamas invasion of Israel, Hamas was condemned – for a few days. Then the rewards started pouring in. Several nations determined that Palestinians should have a state. American university students shouted “From the River to the Sea! – which, interpreted, means, “Destroy Israel — and Death to all the Jews!”
A root of these strange things: It is said of Mohammad that he approved the killing of a Jewish poet who had insulted him. The woman’s tribe, seeing Muhammad’s power, converted to Islam. So killing, lying, torture, terror, fear, intimidation, all work to Islam’s advantage.
Then, and ever since, Muslims knew that intimidation works. They used force and intimidation to conquer a section of the world across Africa to the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and to India eastward, killing more than a hundred million people, and enslaving the rest.
Islam is Intimidation.
About Islamophobia: “Phobia” is a false fear; a state of mind. The term has been used greatly effective is covering the historical and present fact that Islam is dangerous to life and freedom, and greatly needed to be fearfully opposed. Our lives and the survival of nations depend on knowing real fear.
