As
phone calls between President Trump & President Duterte are leaked
to criticize Trump for congratulating Duterte on his extra-judicial
killings in the name of a War on Drugs, it’s clear the US surveillance
state wants both Presidents gone. Duterte has said he wants the US
military out of the Philippines and was in Russia as an ISIS attack took
over a town in Muslim controlled Mindanao and took a priest and his
congregation hostage. Will the Philippines be the next victim of the
CIA and its ISIS surrogates?

CAROLINE GLICK OF THE JERUSALEM POST THANKS "CANCEL SARSOUR" PROTESTORS
AT CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
CUNY has invited a pro-terror, pro-sharia anti-semite to give the keynote
commencement address. And they will not reconsider. Universities have
disinvited Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Nonie Darwish, Ann Coulter, Milo, legions of
conservative thinkers and voices in defense of freedom, but a vicious,
pro-sharia, Jew hater they will defend to the death and that is it right
there. They fear jihad. They fear Islamic supremacists. They know no
harm with come to them if they smear, defame, libel or cancel us. They
know we don't destroy, maim, behead like Sarsour supporters and their
violent running dogs on the left.

Not physically ugly, but ugly deep in their souls. Georgetown
University professor Christine Fair happened upon neo-Nazi Richard
Spencer, who is not me, at a gym and began berating him. The gym then
revoked Richard Spencer’s membership. I have no regard for Richard
Spencer, as often as I am confused with him (even in the comments at
National Review on this piece, some clown says that the article should
have highlighted Richard Spencer’s remarks on white nationalism, not his
criticism of Islam; in reality, he is the one who writes about white
nationalism, and I am the one who writes about Islam, and we are two
completely different people): he has more than once demanded that I
reveal my “real” name, as he is convinced that I am secretly a Jew who
has changed my name to fool good white folks like him.
So while I have nothing but disgust for Richard Spencer, I have even
greater disgust for Christine Fair, who in this incident showed herself
to be more of a Nazi than Richard Spencer could ever hope to be. Like
the Nazis, she wants those whom she hates destroyed, full stop. Just
destroyed. She doesn’t want them to be able to speak in public. She
doesn’t want them to be able to hold memberships in gyms. She doesn’t
want them to be allowed to live in the city she lives in. She doesn’t
want them to breathe. This is quintessentially Nazi behavior, and is in
direct contradiction to the principles that make a society free.
While Richard Spencer is indeed a Nazi, albeit in a different way
from how Fair is one, and there is no excuse for that, as long as he is
not breaking any laws he has as much right to be in that gym as
Christine Fair has. But not as far as Christine Fair is concerned. She
has apparently not reflected upon the precedent she is setting, or on
the possibility, as remote as it is, that one day her views could be out
of favor, and she could find herself getting poisoned, and forbidden to
speak, and screamed at by campus fascists, and driven out of gyms, and
the like, and that a healthier and freer society allows for the freedom
of expression and doesn’t persecute or hound those whose ideas are
unpopular or even unarguably obnoxious.
National Review writer Jeremy Carl brings me into this because I have
been on the receiving end of Fair’s wrath before, and have found her to
be a shockingly rude, unkind, angry, and remarkably unpleasant
individual — all while she preens as an exponent of “tolerance” and
“peace.” Carl is a bit hasty, in my view, to accept the claims of my
critics without evaluating those claims or my work on their merits, but
his anxiousness to distance himself from me is perhaps understandable in
a piece that appears in the publication that Ann Coulter so famously
observed years ago was run by “girly men.”
I would happily debate Jeremy Carl, or Christine Fair, or any serious
analyst on the nature of Islam or any of the assertions I have made in
my work, and I am confident that the claims about my work that Carl so
readily embraces here would, in that event, be proven false. It’s
certain, however, that neither Carl nor Fair will agree to debate me,
and so that is that. Whatever the undeniable flaws of Carl’s piece, he
is dead-on about the Left’s increasing authoritarianism and thuggery.
Mark my words: I won’t be the last enemy of the Left that Leftists will
try to kill.
Addendum: I just noticed that in her hate screed against Richard
Spencer in the Washington Post, Christine Fair cites as factual the thoroughly discredited study
claiming that “right-wing extremists” pose a greater threat than
Islamic jihadists. This is what an academic is today: not a thinking
individual, but a propagandist for the hard-Left.
“Liberal Bullies Threaten Free Speech,” by Jeremy Carl, National Review, May 24, 2017:
…Let’s stipulate that Richard Spencer is a man who has
embraced values that are anathema to America’s, and that his vision is
quite obviously not one that conservatives or Republicans share. But
Fair publicly claims that Spencer’s very presence in the gym, because of
his political views, creates an oppressive environment, which is a much
more dramatic and potentially dangerous claim. If you are still
cheering on Professor Fair, consider the case of another Spencer —
Robert Spencer (no relation to Richard), a persistent critic of
political Islam and a favorite of Steve Bannon and other figures in the
Trump administration.After he spoke to a large audience last week in
Reykjavik, Iceland, a leftist approached him as he was dining with
companions and managed to slip a combination of MDMA (“Ecstasy”) and
Ritalin into his drink, causing him to become ill to the point that he
was hospitalized. Fortunately, police seem to have identified the
perpetrator. But despite Spencer’s relative prominence and the dramatic
nature of the crime, this political poisoning attracted almost no
attention from the mainstream media.
As Spencer put it ruefully, “The lesson I learned was that media
demonization of those who dissent from the leftist line is a direct
incitement to violence. By portraying me and others who raise legitimate
questions about jihad terror and Sharia oppression as racist, bigoted
‘Islamophobes’ without allowing us a fair hearing, they paint a huge
target on the backs of those who dare to dissent.”
Spencer, the author of two New York Times bestsellers on radical
Islam, is certainly controversial — and has his fair share of critics
even on the right. But one should be able to be controversial without
being poisoned. In the wake of the bombings in Manchester, are critics
of political Islam really the people who should be beyond the pale of
civil discourse?
hat does all this have to do with Professor Fair? Well, it turns out
that Robert Spencer too has had his share of run-ins with Professor
Fair, who according to Spencer called him a “lunatic” and likened him to
Charles Manson while “refusing (of course) to debate me on questions of
substance.” Robert Spencer says he has never met Fair in person, which
has not saved him from being a repeated target of Fair’s ire.
Very well, you may say, but Spencer’s harsh and cherry-picked
criticism of Islam may have stirred up legitimate anger — there’s no
reason to defend him. Well, how about Asra Nomani, a liberal Muslim immigrant woman, former
Wall Street Journal reporter, and Georgetown professor who committed
the mortal sin (to Christine Fair) of voting for Donald Trump and then
writing a piece in the Washington Post explaining her decision. In
response, she was brutally harassed by Professor Fair on Twitter for the
better part of a month. As Nomani subsequently wrote to Georgetown in a
formal complaint against Fair: “Prof. Fair has directed hateful, vulgar
and disrespectful messages to me, including the allegations that I am: a
‘fraud’; ‘fame-mongering clown show’; and a ‘bevkuf,’ or ‘idiot,’ in my
native Urdu, who has ‘pimped herself out’ . . . this last allegation
amounts to ‘slut-shaming.’”
But while a quick perusal of Fair’s public statements reveals her to
be an extreme case, a virtual parody of liberal intolerance, she is
hardly the only liberal behaving badly. In just the past year, many
conservatives, libertarians, and other assorted right-wingers, from Ann
Coulter to Charles Murray to Heather Mac Donald to Milo Yiannopoulos to
Ben Shapiro, have been shouted down and prevented, often by violence,
from sharing their views, most often on America’s campuses. And so far,
almost without exception, those universities have declined to give any
significant punishment to the perpetrators. It is all well and good for
conservatives to point out that there is a yawning gap between the
Richard Spencers of the world and the Charles Murrays and Heather Mac
Donalds. But for the Christine Fairs of the world — and an increasing
number of her ideological soulmates on the left — they are all the same.
None should have the right to speak — and increasingly, they are not
even free to lead private lives free of harassment and threats. All of
the people named above have been called “Nazis,” “white supremacists,”
and similar epithets. If the Right, through silence, decides it’s okay
to harass or physically attack Richard Spencer because he is a “Nazi” (a
video clip of an Antifa member sucker-punching Spencer has become a
favorite Internet meme on the left), they should not expect that the
punchers will stop at Richard Spencer — or Robert Spencer, or even Asra
Nomani. If we won’t fight for the free speech of those who anger the
Left, no matter how distasteful we find their views, because we are
afraid that the Left will wrongly ascribe their views to us, then
conservatives are little more than feeding red meat to the ravenous
left-wing lion in vain hopes that they will be the last ones eaten. And
the lion is getting stronger and hungrier.
In his comments on Fair, written long before his poisoning incident,
Robert Spencer wondered, “Why are the loudest proponents of ‘tolerance’
and ‘peace’ so frequently ugly, hateful people?” It’s a question the
Left doesn’t want to answer — and too many on the right, afraid of being
labeled as bigots by the most intolerant voices on the left, are scared
to even ask.
entire Qur’an. But the imam Andy Burnham, mayor of Manchester, says he was not a
Muslim. On what grounds? On the grounds that he committed jihad mass
murderer, and as everyone knows, Islam is a Religion of Peace. Any
Muslim who commits an act of violent jihad becomes, simply by virtue of
doing so, not a Muslim. Islam is thus always preserved as good and
benign, no matter what crimes are committed in its name, and politicians
such as Andy Burnham are free of any responsibility to understand the
motives and goals of those who have vowed to destroy us. See how it
works?
“Manchester Mayor: Bomber Was A Terrorist, Not A Muslim,” LBC, May 24, 2017:
Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says the bomber who killed 22 people was a terrorist, not a Muslim….
But the Mayor of Manchester insisted that this man was a terrorist who had noting to do with Islam.
Speaking to Nick Ferrari on LBC, he said…
“The message that I would want to get over – and this is how the vast
majority of people feel – this man was a terrorist, not a Muslim.
“He does not represent the Muslim community. We’ve got to keep that
distinction in mind all the time. This was an unspeakable act.
“The worst thing that can happen is that people use this to blame an entire community, the Muslim community. “In my view, the man who committed this atrocity no more represents
the Muslim community than the individual who murdered my friend Jo Cox
represents the white, Christian community.”
