If we don’t import Muslims to do the jihad that Americans won’t do, won’t life be boring?
Is Donald Trump sincere about banning new Muslims from entering the country? Can he do it legally and politically? Perhaps he is staking out a bargaining position, which plays well with the portion of the electorate he wants to vote for him. Perhap he will settle for an end to chain migration and more thorough background checks.
Jews are more sensitive to fissures in society. That’s why Jewish groups like the ADL are going nuts condemning Trump. Movements towards Gentile cohesion, such as National Socialism, have often not been good for Jews.
Here is a classic Jewish response I found on Facebook:
I’m seeing hateful comments and memes about Muslims that make me uncomfortable.
The reality is, many people who don’t like Muslims also don’t like Jews. Right now, they’re talking about Muslims, but the tide could turn and Jews could be next.
Another reality is, you likely have friends or co-workers who are Muslim, and you don’t know it, and you are offending or upsetting them with your comments and memes, but they aren’t saying anything to you.
Mainstream Islam and mainstream Muslims DO condemn terrorist acts. We don’t see it on TV because it’s not “good TV”. It’s not polarizing. It doesn’t create sound bites.
I don’t like to see a whole religion attacked for the actions of some.

I expect the National Front will get about 20% of the Jewish vote on Sunday.
REPORT: The group representing half a million French Jews has called for “mass voting” against nationalist political party Front National following its wide wins in regional elections on Sunday.
Conseil Représentatif des Institutions Juives de France (CRIF), the French equivalent to the Board of Deputies of British Jews, issued a statement ahead of further voting this weekend, saying: “Go out and vote by the masses to block the FN, a xenophobic and populist party. Do not allow the Republic to fall.”
The party is anti-Europe, anti-globalisation and anti-immigration, and is often seen as hard on the causes of terrorism, which has led to accusations that it is anti-Muslim. Its success was this week being seen as a reaction to the latest terrorist atrocities in Paris, following earlier attacks by jihadists in January.
French Jewish leaders have distanced themselves from the party, which is led by Marine Le Pen, in part because of its association with her father Jean-Marie, who founded it. He was however recently expelled for saying Nazi gas chambers were a “detail of history” and defending war-time collaborator Philippe Petain.
Marine has sought to shed the anti-Semitic image her father gave the party, but while some European Jewish groups have initiated dialogue, most continue to refuse meetings.
In March last year, when the party won control of 11 towns across the country, the Conference of European Rabbis, said: “The French electorate is either not taking the threat from the far right seriously or they do not care. In either case, this result should sound alarm bells across Europe that the politics of hatred are making a formidable comeback.”
Three months later the European Jewish Congress (EJC) filed the lawsuit in Paris, after the 85-year old Jean-Marie, after he used a phrase for ovens when responding to criticism from Jewish singer and actor Patrick Bruel.

ISIS is Islam. The prophet Mohammed embodied Islam. They all want the same thing — world conquest.
JPOST: The Islamic fundamentalist organization known as Islamic State released a video Friday, showing one of its jihadi militants threatening to attack Israelis in Hebrew, promising that “soon there will not be one Jew left in Jerusalem.”
ISIS’s Syrian branch posted the clip to Youtube, depicting a masked terrorist, dressed in military fatigues and holding a rifle, speaking Hebrew with an Arabic accent, while making ominous threats against the Jewish State.
“We will enter al-Aksa mosque as conquerors, using our cars as bombs to strike the Jewish ramparts,” the ISIS militant said.
“Do what you will in the meantime until we reach you,” the jihadi continues. “Then we will charge you ten-fold for the crimes” you have committed against the Palestinian people.
“We assure you that soon there will not be a single Jew left in Jerusalem and throughout the country,” adding “we will move to eradicate the disease” of the Jewish people “worldwide.”
According to a new report by The Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor of MEMRI (the Middle East Media Research Institute), Islamic State has launched a media campaign releasing a series of videos in support of terror attacks and encouraging Palestinians to carry out more.

* Shrewd move by Trump, advocating a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”
Trump’s proposal comes in response to the level of hatred among “large segments of the Muslim population” toward Americans.
“Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” Trump said in the statement.
These statements by Trump should give a boost to his popularity , especially among republican primary voters.
* In last night’s speech to the nation, Obama pushed for restrictions on purchase of weapons by those on “no-fly lists,” even though neither assailant was on a “no-fly list.” He made passing reference to the assailants’ possession of pipe bombs, but somehow he didn’t think through the problem. These two people were determined to kill Americans, and, if somehow they couldn’t use the assault rifles, they would have resorted to the pipe bombs. So I am not sure why he just seeking ineffective restrictions on fire arms. He also called for Muslim religious leaders around the world to reform Islam, acknowledging that Islam was in need of reformation. But he didn’t say what a rational leader would have said, namely that until Islam was reformed the U.S. would no longer accept any Muslim immigrants. He has basically handed a powerful issue to the Republicans and left poor Hillary Clinton to defend an extremely unpopular position to the American public.
* What is surprising that the father would openly talk like this, it’s clear the Muzzies are becoming more brazen – which is worrisome. It’s also shocking to see USA Today print this. People are getting scared.
That said, the entire family reeks of Salafism, they weren’t some lapsed beer drinking Muzzies but old school buggers doing what allah wanted. All junior did was simply follow the Koranic demands to their logical conclusion – jihad.
Heck he was radicalized merely by growing up in that family, but like a good jihadi played the Dr. Jeckl and Mr. Hyde game with the infidels until it was time to strike.
I bet if one does a background check on their friends and relatives you’ll find a entire network devoted to supporting jihadis. It’s very doubtful junior was alone in this, he had help.
* I bet Farook Sr. is on disability. His wife said he’s “mentally ill” and takes meds in court when she filed for divorce. After 40 quarters of work you’re eligible for disability as an immigrant. Somebody should research Asian SSI claims. There are so many scams it would blow the average American’s mind. And not just Muslims, mind you. The Chinese are masters of this. It’s a wonder California hasn’t already bankrupted the US all on its own.
* I haven’t seen anyone yet remark how strange it was that the day after their son/brother killed 14 people, the Farooks already had a Benjamin Crumpish “family lawyer” supplied to them by CAIR, who then called a press conference where they gave statements.
Did Charlie Mason’s actual family have a press conference? Did the press lap it up and write up sympathetic profiles of family members who weren’t mass killers? I don’t think we have ever heard so much, from so many, of the relatives of a mass murderer the very week of the mass murder.
* I hate to say it, but once we decided that discrimination against American citizens was wrong, that kicked out much of the philosophical justification for discriminating against foreigners too. How can you support equal civil rights for African Americans, and then argue that maybe we should discourage any more Africans from coming over?
It’s no coincidence that both kinds of discrimination were legislated out of existence within the same year.
* I’m fascinated by the loose threads that the media just allows to flutter away unchecked.
On the day of the San Bernardino shooting, there was an intense manhunt for the third person in the SUV, who police saw run away from the vehicle during the shootout.
I watched live on television while helicopters broadcast the police moving from house to house in search of this person. One reporter on the ground even reported that the individual had a shootout with police while running through people’s backyards; he cited as evidence a dead dog on the ground with bullet wounds.
The third person was supposedly captured, but I haven’t heard or read a single thing about him/her since.
* Rand Paul is now calling for a moratorium on immigration from the “middle east” (presumably from Pakistan too?). This is shaping up to be a battle between gun control on the left and immigration control on the right. Overton Window shifting again – I don’t recall immigration control brought up in response to terrorism outside of the Steve-o-sphere before.
* The Arabist Malcolm Kerr, the father of Steve Kerr, coach of the reigning NBA champions Golden State Warriors, was assassinated in his office as head of the American University in Beirut in 1984.
Link: The reason we decided to dig into Sayid Farooq’s collection of literature found at his residence (the works of Sayid Qutb in particular) and ties to the Islamic Society’s Corona-Norco branch (the Islamic Society of Corona-Norco aka “ISCN”) in “Some Interesting San Bernardino Developments” is because we suspect his jihadist associations played a large part in how he was “matched” with Tashfeena. Our sources in the San Bernardino Police Department report that Sayid’s father stated his son had begun distancing himself from his family as far back as 2010 and that they didn’t really know Tashfeena all that well either. We can’t say that we’re surprised given how Sayid’s family have been going to the Islamic Center of Riverside (a real-deal moderate institution) in favor of the ISCN. That happened two years ago. You know what also happened two years ago? Sayid traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet his wife who he had first met online. In fact his family noticed he had become increasingly “conservative” since his trip. As previously stated in yesterday’s article, we assess that it was likely a foreign facilitator who recruited him that “paired” the two up for a marriage. Furthermore, we suspect that Sayid met with this individual during his time in Saudi Arabia. Our staff is working with our Saudi Mabahith contacts to identify this individual. We’d like to assume the FBI is already doing this themselves, but the vibe we’re getting from our Department of Homeland Security (DHS) peeps implies this isn’t happening.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he is calling for a “complete and total shutdown” on Muslims entering the United States.
Trump says in a statement released by his campaign Monday that his proposal comes in response to the level of hatred among “large segments of the Muslim population” toward Americans.
Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski says Trump’s proposed ban would apply to “everybody,” including Muslims seeking immigration visas as well as tourists seeking to enter the country.
Donald J. Trump called on Monday for the United States to bar all Muslims from entering the country until the nation’s leaders can “figure out what is going on,” an extraordinary escalation of his harsh rhetoric aimed at members of the Islamic faith in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif.
“Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine,” said Mr. Trump, the leading Republican candidate for his party’s 2016 presidential nomination.
“Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” he said.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Trump confirmed the authenticity of the statement. Asked what prompted it, Mr. Trump said, “death,” according to the spokeswoman.
Mr. Trump made his remarks a day after President Obama delivered a national address from the Oval Office urging Americans not to turn against Muslims in the wake of the terrorist attacks. Mr. Trump is expected to say more at a rally at the USS Yorktown in South Carolina on Monday evening to mark the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Experts on immigration law and policy expressed shock at the proposal Monday afternoon.
“This is just so antithetical to the history of the United States,” said Nancy Morawetz, a professor of clinical law at New York University School of Law, who specializes in immigration. “It’s unbelievable to have a religious test for admission into the country.”
She added: “I cannot recall any historical precedent for denying immigration based on religion.”
Ms. Morawetz said that the United States has long regretted policies that banned the immigration of Chinese at the end of 19th century.
“It’s a very sad chapter in American immigration history that we would think is behind us today.”
Mr. Trump has a track record of making surprising and even extreme comments whenever he is overtaken in opinion polls by other Republican candidates – as happened on Monday just hours before he issued his statement about Muslims. A new Monmouth University survey of likely Iowa Republican caucus-goers found that Mr. Trump had slipped from his recent top spot in the state, which holds the first presidential nomination contest on Feb. 1. According to the poll, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas earned 24 percent of support in the poll, while Mr. Trump had 19 percent and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida had 17 percent.
Mr. Trump, who boasts about his strong poll numbers at the beginning of virtually every campaign speech, launched an unusually stinging attack against Ben Carson, another Republican candidate, when Mr. Carson took a lead in Iowa polls this fall; Mr. Trump, citing Mr. Carson’s memoir about his sometimes-violent youth, called him “pathological” and compared his state of mind to a child molester’s.
While several of the Republican presidential candidates have called for increased intelligence gathering and more aggressive investigations of suspected terrorists, as well as a halt to Muslim refugees entering the United States from Syria, Mr. Trump’s pointed suspicions about Muslims have been in a category by themselves.
At his campaign rallies, he has drawn strong applause from thousands of voters for his calls on the government to monitor mosques, and he has refused to rule out his earlier proposal to enter names of Muslims in America into a database. He has also made a series of ominous comments about President Obama’s leadership in fighting terrorism, suggesting that there was “something going on” with Mr. Obama that Americans were not aware of.
The proposal drew immediate condemnation from Muslim-Americans. Eboo Patel, the president of Interfaith Youth Core, based in Chicago, said, “I’m standing in a building right now where I am looking up at the Sears Tower, which was designed by Fazlur Rahman Khan,” a structural engineer originally from Bangladesh who was behind what is now known as the Willis Tower.
“What if we had barred Russians from America because of the Cold War? Who would have invented Google?” Mr. Patel asked, referring to Google’s co-founder, Sergey Brin.

They weren’t singling out Nazis, they were going after Germans after WWII was over. Hardly worthy of a medal.
Jewish Press: They were 60 Jews altogether, who arrived in Germany after the war with the ultimate purpose of carrying out an operation so terrible it would cause international response as a warning to anyone conspiring to harm Jews again. According to at least one source, in 1946 the group planned to kill six million Germans by poisoning the drinking water of Munich, Berlin, Weimar, Nuremberg and Hamburg. After that plan had failed, Nakam members painted about 3,000 loaves of bread with diluted arsenic, and the loaves were served 12,000 German POWs in a US Army internment camp near Nuremberg. According to the AP, 1900 German POWs were poisoned and all of them became “seriously ill.” According to then Nakam leader Joseph Harmatz, 300 to 400 Germans died. He said this “was nothing compared with what we really wanted to do.”

Perhaps we need to reach out more to the Muslim community? Perhaps we need to be nicer to them?
From Breitbart: Though President Barack Obama claimed that America must “enlist Muslim communities” to combat terrorism in his Sunday evening Oval Office address, former FBI Counterterrorism Agent John Guandolo said on Monday’s Breitbart News Daily (6AM-9AM EST on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125) that since 9/11, “we collectively have received nearly zero help from the Muslim Community.”
Guandolo, who pointed out on Friday’s Breitbart News Daily that a “vast majority” of U.S. mosques and Islamic centers are a part of a much larger “jihadi network,” told host and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon that though Muslim community leaders “certainly give the air as if they are helping,” if one looks at the “major Islamic organizations, the major Islamic centers in the United States,” they have “condemned all of the counter-terrorism policies and they’ve gotten the government to kowtow to them, to turn only to them for advice.”
“And what advice do they give them?” Guandolo asked. “That Islam doesn’t stand for this and that everything you’re doing is the reason for what happened—9/11 is your fault because of your policies.”
As Breitbart News reported, Los Angeles CAIR director Hussam Ayloush said last week just days after the San Bernardino terrorist attacks that America is “partly responsible” for the San Bernardino terrorist attacks because “some of our foreign policy” is “fueling extremism.”
Last night, Obama said that “if we’re to succeed in defeating terrorism we must enlist Muslim communities as some of our strongest allies, rather than push them away through suspicion and hate.”
Guandolo said he doesn’t necessarily agree with the idea that “we have to work with the Muslim community in order to solve this problem here in the United States,” but “if you are going to work with the Muslim community, the U.S. government” should not be “exclusively working with Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood entities without exception” like it is doing now. Guandolo named the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the Islamic Society of North America, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the Muslim American Society.
“Those are who they’re working with and others that are Muslim Brotherhood or ideologically directly aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood,” he added, pointing out that Attorney General Loretta Lynch spoke at the Muslim Advocates—another such organization—last Thursday.
Guandolo said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is speaking about Muslim civil rights on Monday evening at The Adams Center in Sterling, Virginia, which is associated with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). He said evidence presented at the Holy Land terrorism-funding trial revealed that ISNA is “the nucleus of the Muslim Brotherhood here” and “directly funds Hamas leaders and organizations overseas.” He also pointed out that the Holy Land Foundation, the largest Islamic charity in America, was a “Hamas organization at the time it was indicted and Hamas is an inherent part of the Muslim Brotherhood.”
He said it will be nearly impossible to so successfully combat terrorists “so long as the U.S. government… emboldens and empowers Muslim Brotherhood organizations here.”

Why do Jewish organizations keep pushing for more and more Muslims in the West when Muslims tend to hate Jews?
A Jewish friend says to me: “If even the most vile anti-semitic filth still makes more sense than our own narrative, what does that mean?”
The following letter — widely publicized — was signed by 1216 rabbis. It is posted on the website of HIAS, a Jewish immigration advocacy group with the motto “welcome the stranger.”
We, Rabbis from across the country, call on our elected officials to exercise moral leadership for the protection of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
Since its founding, the United States has offered refuge and protection to the world’s most vulnerable. Time and time again, those refugees were Jews. Whether they were fleeing pogroms in Tzarist Russia, the horrors of the Holocaust or persecution in Soviet Russia or Iran, our relatives and friends found safety on these shores.
We are therefore alarmed to see so many politicians declaring their opposition to welcoming refugees.
Last month’s heartbreaking attacks in Paris and Beirut are being cited as reasons to deny entry to people who are themselves victims of terror. And in those comments, we, as Jewish leaders, see one of the darker moments of our history repeating itself.
In 1939, the United States refused to let the S.S. St. Louis dock in our country, sending over 900 Jewish refugees back to Europe, where many died in concentration camps. That moment was a stain on the history of our country – a tragic decision made in a political climate of deep fear, suspicion and antisemitism. The Washington Post released public opinion polling from the early 1940’s, showing that the majority of U.S. citizens did not want to welcome Jewish refugees to this country in those years.
In 1939, our country could not tell the difference between an actual enemy and the victims of an enemy. In 2015, let us not make the same mistake.
We therefore urge our elected officials to support refugee resettlement and to oppose any measures that would actually or effectively halt resettlement or prohibit or restrict funding for any groups of refugees.
As Rabbis, we take seriously the biblical mandate to “welcome the stranger.” We call on our elected officials to uphold the great legacy of a country that welcomes refugees.

American exceptionalism is the theory that the United States is inherently different from other nations.[2] In this view, American exceptionalism stems from its emergence from the American Revolution, thereby becoming what political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset called “the first new nation”[3] and developing a uniquely American ideology, “Americanism”, based on liberty, egalitarianism, individualism, republicanism, democracy and laissez-faire. This ideology itself is often referred to as “American exceptionalism.”[4]
Although the term does not necessarily imply superiority, many neoconservative and other American conservative writers have promoted its use in that sense.[4][5] To them, the U.S. is like the biblical “City upon a Hill”—a phrase evoked by British colonists to North America as early as 1630—and exempt from historical forces that have affected other countries…
The exact term “American exceptionalism” was occasionally used in the 19th century.[8] Its common use dates from Communist usage the late 1920s. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin chastised members of the Jay Lovestone-led faction of the American Communist Party for its claim that America was independent of the Marxist laws of history “thanks to its natural resources, industrial capacity, and absence of rigid class distinctions”. Stalin may have been told of the usage “American exceptionalism” by Brouder & Zack in Daily Worker (N.Y.) on the 29th of January 1929, before Lovestone’s visit to Moscow. American Communists started using the English term “American exceptionalism” in factional fights. It then moved into general use among intellectuals.
