New in PJ Media:
Did you know that during these halcyon days of President Donald Trump’s second term, it has become “acceptable to hate all Muslims”? Neither did I, but no less weighty an authority than Salon mag says it, so it must be true, right?
Yes, of course I jest. In reality, this Salon piece is a superb example of how the establishment media lies and stirs up hysteria in order to make Americans hate Trump and what they think his policies are. Neither Trump nor his supporters say that it is “acceptable to hate all Muslims,” but if Salon told its hapless leftist readers what they really did say, they might end up agreeing and becoming MAGA Republicans. Lying to them ensures that they’ll stay on the reservation, but it’s telling. A political party or faction that has to lie to its supporters to make sure that they remain supporters is not likely to have a bright future: reality will win out in the end.
One thing you can say for leftists, however, is that they’re good at lying. They’re clever about it. And so Mohammad Ali Salih starts his Salon piece with a display of credentials that is designed to impress us, and to show us how serious it is that he now feels so threatened in the age of Trump: “This coming week, I am planning to return to my White House vigil. I am an 84-year-old journalist who is Muslim, Arab and Black. I have lived and worked in Washington for 46 years.”
Impressive! Yet it actually harms Salih’s case. Could a non-Muslim journalist live and work in Mecca for 46 years? No, he couldn’t do so for 46 seconds.
Anyway, as in so very many other articles of this kind, Salih spends a great deal of column space chronicling how Trump and so many other patriotic politicians are supposedly mean to Muslims. He claims that “over Easter weekend, Trump finally crossed my personal red line: He attacked Islam itself.” Did you miss this alleged attack? So did I, and there’s a very good reason for that: it didn’t actually happen.
Trump actually said this: “Happy Easter to all, except those who want to destroy our Country with their radical religions and ideologies. We are a Christian nation, and we will not let Islam or any other force replace our heritage. It’s a Crusade for survival!” This is not an attack on Islam; it is a statement of determination that the nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage will be preserved.
If Saudi Arabia issued a statement saying it would defend its Islamic identity against encroachment from Christianity, Mohammad Ali Salah wouldn’t have a word to say about it. But if an American president says he will defend the nation against the advance of Sharia, this becomes an “attack” on Islam. It’s a clever ploy, but in the end, that’s all it is: a ploy.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Of course like Islam, one cannot comment on Salon.com articles. Disagreement would be blasphemy.
Salon is the totalitarian point of view.

Allah and his Muslims are masters of hatred and deceit as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 3:28, 54; 5:14; 7:99; 60:4, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 3:54 says, “And they deceived, and Allah deceived. And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 8:30 says, “…And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 13:42 says, “And indeed, those before them deceived, so to Allah all the deception…”
Through Mosques, Homes, Muslim Schools, and Islamic Centers, Muslims fund and teach hatred to children and Muslims against Non-Muslims when Qur’an 60:4 teaches, “…We became infidels in you, and the enmity and the enduring hatred between us and you will appear forever until you believe in Allah alone…”. Hence, Allah’s satanic hatred is further carried out by Muslims against Non-Muslims. Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”

Guess Qatar didn’t get this news.

Variation on a theme by Salon: Under Leftists it was perfectly fine to assert as Salon did that Jill Biden (oh, sorry, that’s Dr. Jill Biden) is a “First Lady For Us All” (an actual cover article description by Salon when the woeful Joe was POTUS) but the best Melania Trump can expect from Salon is being ignored.

One side is allowed to hate….for all *reasons* or none. The other side is mandated (by the first side) to not just not hate, but tolerate, like and even embrace those of the first side. The second side is told….ordered…how to feel, who to love, who to believe is Truthful, what to do and what to think/believe.
If the second side makes their own decisions based on feelings and facts, the first side screams all manner of abuse. And the first side claims that the second side has “no right” to whatever.

As a Bible believing Christian I’ve been researching other religions for over 50 years. Until 9/11 I only had passing knowledge of Islam. I started doing deeper study including reading the Quran four times. I have found it to be the most Satanic religion outside of outright Satanism which Islam closing resembles. Followers of Islam by their actions have only increased my distrust and dislike of Islam. My feeling about Islam are based on their actions and not what my President says about it. Jesus said in John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Though He was talking to Jews who rejected biblical Judaism for the occultist Talmudic versiion, His words still apply as a description of the god of the Muslims.

Salon Mag: ‘Under Trump, It’s Become Acceptable to Hate All Muslims’

Is this a repost? Or did another article have a similar title? I saw one the other day and in the comments people absolutely were hating all Muslims. I spoke out against it.
