“Where are you headed, Europe? Rise from your knees and from your lethargy, or you will be crying over your children every day. If you cannot see that terrorism has the potential to hurt every country in Europe, and you think that Poland should not defend itself, you are going hand in hand with those who point this weapon against Europe, against all of us. Do we want politicians who say we have to ‘get used to’ terrorist attacks?”
If Europe had any will to survive, it would immediately install Beata Szydlo as head of the European Union, and allow her to implement sane migration policies. But Europe has no will to survive.

“‘Rise from your knees!’ Poland’s PM destroys EU … we won’t be blackmailed into taking your migrants,” by Samantha Chang, BizPac Review, May 27, 2017:

Polish prime minister Beata Szydlo said Poland will not be “blackmailed” into accepting thousands of refugees under the EU quota system, especially after the Manchester suicide bombing that killed 22 people, including two Poles.
Szydlo slammed weak-willed EU leaders for allowing the slow death of European culture and its people by taking in millions of refugees that are destroying the Western nations financially, socially and culturally.
In a defiant speech before the Polish Parliament on Wednesday, Szydlo urged lawmakers to protect Poland and its children from the scourges of Islamist terrorism and cultural suicide:

Where are you headed, Europe? Rise from your knees and from your lethargy, or you will be crying over your children every day.
If you cannot see that terrorism has the potential to hurt every country in Europe, and you think that Poland should not defend itself, you are going hand in hand with those who point this weapon against Europe, against all of us.
Do we want politicians who say we have to ‘get used to’ terrorist attacks?…

IRAN'S ROUHANI CALLS ON MUSLIM LEADERS TO CONFRONT "ISLAMOPHOBIA"~WHILE BONDING CLOSER TO HAMAS UNDER COMMON JIHADISTS GOALS

Not jihad terror, but “Islamophobia.” Rouhani is calling upon Muslim leaders to step up the demonizing and stigmatizing of those who call attention to the reality of the jihad threat.

“Rouhani Calls on Muslim Leaders to Confront Islamophobia,” Far News Agency, May 27, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in separate messages to Muslim world leaders urged them to do their best to fight the scenario of Islamophobia as pursued by the western countries.
“No doubt the responsibility of all leaders, thinkers and scholars of Islamic countries is to explain and promote the lofty goals of Islam in the month of mercy, to use moderation in behavior and action and to provide a clear image of the religion to confront the inaccurate crises enemies create under Islamophobia,” Rouhani’s messages sent to the Muslim leaders on the occasion of advent of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
President Rouhani reiterated that Islam’s moderate face to the world would make it a place free from violence and extremism….
In relevant remarks in December, President Rouhani lashed out at US President Donald Trump’s remarks against the world Muslims.”Unfortunately, today, certain individuals across the world, under the pretext of combating terrorism, announce that Muslims should not be allowed into other countries and this is while these individuals are themselves among founders and supporters of terrorism,” President Rouhani said, addressing a cabinet meeting.
Those aiding terrorist groups should be held accountable for the crimes committed by the terrorists, he added….

“Iran to Hamas: Let’s get closer ‘on basis of jihad,'” by Dalit Halevy, Arutz Sheva, May 26, 2017:

Senior Iranian officials are expressing hope that the appointment of new Hamas terrorist organization leader Ismail Haniyeh to head Hamas will bring about a policy strengthening the ties between them.
Kassam Soleimani, a commander in the Iran’s Al-Quds Brigades, sent a letter to Haniyeh, congratulating him on his appointment as the new leader of Hamas.
In a letter published by Iranian news agency Mehr, Soleimani said that he expects a strengthening of ties with Hamas on the basis of jihad against “the arrogance of the world” (meaning the US) and its satellite, “Zionism,” which are “working to divert the jihad of the nation from its Islamic compass.”…

A video that has gone viral on Facebook shows a German woman covered in bruises explaining how she was beaten by migrants for daring to respond to them calling her a “bitch”.

The clip, uploaded by the victim Stefanie Kirchhoff, has received almost 500,000 views since it was posted on Wednesday. In it, Kirchoff sardonically thanks Angela Merkel for opening the country’s borders to such ‘cultural enrichment’.

She has several huge welts and contusions all over her face as a result of the beating.

Showing how truly deluded many Germans are about the migrant crisis, some respondents to her Facebook post accused the woman of being a racist or staging the incident to make money.

Germany has experienced a surge in violent crimes since it began accepting “refugees” back in 2015. A report released last year by Germany’s Interior Ministry found that an extra 402,741 crimes were committed by migrants, with non-Germans accounting for 27.6 percent of total offences.

Despite verbal abuse, harassment, sexual assaults and rapes of women becoming commonplace, the German media and government has instead concentrated on ‘thought crimes’ committed by so-called right-wingers.

A Twitter account that carried reports about migrant crimes has been completely blocked in Germany and France.

The European Union just signed off on a proposal to make companies like Facebook and Twitter remove “hate speech” videos which contain “expressions of racism and xenophobia”.

Under such vague definitions, the video of the woman complaining about being beaten by migrants would probably be removed since it “offended” so many people who are in total denial of the problems associated with importing huge numbers of young Muslim men who have no respect for women.

APOSTATE MARK DRISCOLL DEFENDS ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH; SAYS IT AFFIRMS ESSENTIAL DOCTRINES

DRISCOLL: "THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS 'VERY BROAD'"

 Matthew 7:13-14 King James Version (KJV)^{: "}Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

APOSTATE MARK DRISCOLL DEFENDS 

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH; 

SAYS IT AFFIRMS ESSENTIAL DOCTRINES

SEE: http://pulpitandpen.org/2017/05/25/mark-driscoll-defends-roman-catholic-church-says-it-affirms-essential-doctrines/; 

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

Mark Driscoll, founder of the infamous Acts 29 church planting network and the pastor who resigned from Mars Hill church amid accusations of staff abuse and misconduct, is now back into full-time ministry. In a video posted on his website, he answers a question from a follower, “whose interpretation of the Bible is right, Protestants’ or Catholics'”?
In this video, he talks about being raised in the Catholic church. “There are some Catholics that know and love Jesus. I wasn’t one of them growing up. It wasn’t the church’s fault, it was mine,” he says. Now, you might be thinking, “or course it’s his own fault, the wages of sin is death, right?” But what he fails to mention is that the Roman Catholic Church does not teach you how to “know and love Jesus.” In fact, it strictly forbids you from believing the true gospel.
As Protestants, we believe that salvation is, in short, by grace alone through faith alone. The Roman Catholic church, regardless of the “order” of which the presiding priests of the local parish are brought up in, is accountable to authoritative councils of the church. In these councils, the true biblical faith is explicitly denied and forbidden. Specifically, Canon 9 of the Council of Trent, which is still the official doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church today, states,

If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema.

Driscoll continues, stating,

There are some Catholics that absolutely love Jesus. It’s important to remember that when it comes to Catholicism, They believe in one God, three persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, the Trinity. They believe in the virgin birth, the sinless life, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. So, a lot of the things that I would call the closed-handed big issues, yeah, we agree as Protestants with the Catholics.

He “he didn’t have time” to get into the other minor issues he “disagreed with them on.” However, he had time to make it clear that he doesn’t believe Roman Catholicism to be a “cult or another religion.”
While he does appear to have the gospel right in this video, he fails to recognize that the Roman Catholic Church has it wrong. The Roman Catholic Church denies the essential doctrines of grace alone through faith alone and affirms a works righteousness–a false gospel refuted by Paul known as the Galatian Heresy. Roman Catholicism denies the doctrine of the penal substitutionery atonement, that is that Christ stood as a substitute for man, bearing the punishment of God’s wrath that we deserved on the cross, imputing our sin to Him so that His righteousness can be imputed to us (2 Corinthians 5:21). Instead, the affirm a false doctrine of infused righteousness which, in essence, teaches that through good works, penance, and sacraments, Christ’s righteousness is imparted to us more and more over time. While it is certainly true that the virgin birth, the sinless life, and the physical death, burial, and resurrection are essential, without a proper understanding of these doctrines and how they apply to the gospel the Roman Catholic’s belief is simply in vain (1 Corinthians 15:2).
Mark Driscoll, while offending God in an effort to please man, has taken a soft stance on Roman Catholicism. Roman Catholics hold to a false gospel and confirmation in the Roman Catholic Church depends on a confession of this false gospel. Not that Mark Driscoll was ever a qualified Bible teacher, but this is more evidence of the ecumenical trajectory of evangelicalism. The Roman Catholic Church is a whore. It practices idolatry, teaches a false gospel, and denies Christ on every level. Instead of affirming sinners who are caught up in this false church, we should be calling them out of it and calling them to Christ.

10 of 29 CHRISTIAN COPTS MURDERED IN CAIRO BUS BOMBING WERE CHILDREN

 

 

10 of 29 CHRISTIAN COPTS MURDERED 

IN CAIRO BUS BOMBING WERE CHILDREN

The children were traveling with their parents to pray at an ancient monastery in central Egypt. Many suffered gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

Islamic prayer was forced upon these innocents before their massacre; jihadis often pray and frequently shout “Allahu akbar” as they inflict atrocities upon infidels; nonetheless, deceptive arguments are still made purporting to separate jihadists from their religion.
As Jihad Watch reported earlier:

Ramadan begins today. It is the month of jihad, the month when Muslims strive to please Allah more fervently. And so because murdering Infidels who are considered to be at war with Allah is a pious act, there is generally more bloodshed during Ramadan than during the rest of the year.

Directly following headline news of jihadist massacres, Islamic supremacists and their far-left allies often express sympathy, but it seldom takes long for them to resume accusing truth-tellers of victimizing Muslims and perpetuating the “Islamophobia” narrative.

“Coptic Christian attack: 10 of the 29 dead ID’d as children heading to monastery to pray”, Fox News, May 27, 2017:

Ten of the 29 victims killed in Friday’s ambush attack on a bus transporting Christians to a monastery south of Cairo were identified as children, a top bishop told The Wall Street Journal.
As many as 10 masked attackers in three SUVs stormed the bus dressed in military uniforms and demanded that the passengers recite the Muslim profession of faith, witnesses said. Then, the gunmen opened fire.
The children were traveling with their parents to pray at an ancient monastery in central Egypt. Many suffered gunshot wounds to the head and chest, Bishop Makarios, a Coptic clergyman in Minya Province, told The Journal. Three children on board the bus reportedly survived.
Survivors claimed the killers left behind flyers about the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, which begins Friday evening. Local media also reported that the attackers were recording video themselves.
The attack came on the eve of the start of the Muslim holy month. It was the fourth attack targeting the country’s Christian minority since December, and it came on the same week of the suicide bombing in Manchester, where children were believed to be the target.
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Friday ordered retaliatory military strikes in Libya in response to the ambush. Sisi said that suspected ISIS militants attacked the bus.

“I direct my appeal to President Trump: I trust you, your word and your ability to make fighting global terror your primary task,” el-Sisi said.
Trump reportedly affirmed U.S. support in a White House statement. “America stands with President Al Sisi and all the Egyptian people today, and always, as we fight to defeat this common enemy.”
The airstrikes hit bases in Libya where the attackers had trained, the country’s military said.
Egypt’s Copts, the Middle East’s largest Christian community, repeatedly have cried out for help from discrimination, as well as outright attacks, at the hands of the country’s majority Muslim population. Coptic Christians account for about 10 percent of Egypt’s 93 million people.
Ayman Ezzat, a rickshaw driver, told The Journal that blamed the massacre on el-Sisi, saying the president hadn’t done enough to protect the Christians…….

TILLERSON DECLINES TO HOST RAMADAN EVENT AT STATE DEPARTMENT~FIRST CANCELLATION SINCE 1999

TILLERSON DECLINES TO HOST RAMADAN EVENT 

AT STATE DEPARTMENT

This may signal an end to nearly two decades of Islamopandering. If it weren’t for international jihad terrorism, there would never have been these government Ramadan observances, which are an effort to show Muslims that we really aren’t that bad, so please don’t kill us. These events are a result of the analysis that places the blame for jihad terrorism on U.S. foreign policy, rather than upon Islam’s jihad doctrine. If the Trump administration really ends them, the establishment media will howl, as this Reuters report demonstrates, but those who have long advocated a realistic approach to the jihad threat should take heart.

“Exclusive: Tillerson declines to host Ramadan event at State Department,” by Yeganeh Torbati, Reuters, May 27, 2017:

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has declined a request to host an event to mark Islam’s holy month of Ramadan, two U.S. officials said, apparently breaking with a bipartisan tradition in place with few exceptions for nearly 20 years.
Since 1999, Republican and Democratic secretaries of state have nearly always hosted either an iftar dinner to break the day’s fast during Ramadan or a reception marking the Eid al-Fitr holiday at the end of the month, at the State Department.
Tillerson turned down a request from the State Department’s Office of Religion and Global Affairs to host an Eid al-Fitr reception as part of Ramadan celebrations, said two U.S. officials who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
According to an April 6 memo seen by Reuters, the office – which typically initiates such events – recommended that Tillerson hold an Eid al-Fitr reception.
His rejection of the request suggests there are no plans this year for any high-profile Ramadan function at the State Department. The month of fasting and prayer for Muslims gets under way in many countries on Saturday.
When asked by Reuters to comment on Tillerson declining a request to host an Eid al-Fitr event in July for Ramadan, a State Department spokesperson said:
“We are still exploring possible options for observance of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the month of Ramadan. U.S. ambassadors are encouraged to celebrate Ramadan through a variety of activities, which are held annually at missions around the world.”
Muslim activists have accused President Donald Trump’s administration of having an unfriendly attitude toward Islam, encapsulated by its attempts to ban citizens of several Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.
The administration says that while it strongly opposes Islamist militants, it has no quarrel with Islam. Aides point to Trump’s visit this month to Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam where he addressed the leaders of more than 50 Muslim countries, as evidence of that.
Members of Congress, Muslim civil society and community leaders, diplomats from Muslim countries and senior U.S. officials usually attend the State Department Ramadan event, a symbol of the U.S. government’s diplomatic efforts with Muslim countries and people.
If Tillerson avoids hosting one this year, that could send a message “that it is not as important to this administration to engage with Muslims,” said former U.S. diplomat Farah Pandith, who served in the Bush and Obama administrations and helped plan Ramadan events at the White House and State Department.
Tillerson issued a statement on Friday to mark the start of Ramadan, which he called “a month of reverence, generosity, and self-reflection.”
“Most importantly, it is a cherished time for family and friends to gather and give charity to those who are less fortunate,” he said.
PAST RAMADANS
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright started the tradition 18 years ago of America’s top diplomat hosting a public event for Ramadan, a lunar month.
The secretary of state of the time usually gives remarks there on the meaning of Ramadan.
In April, the State Department’s Office of Religion and Global Affairs made a request to Tillerson’s office that he deliver remarks at an Eid al-Fitr reception this year, and suggested a two-week range of dates in July. The event would serve to “highlight State Department initiatives and the importance of Muslim engagement,” the memo said….

Pamela Geller: How Mayor de Blasio Tried to Incite Violence and Wreck AFDI’s CUNY Rally

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

The AFDI demo against CUNY’s obscene invitation was a smashing success, with over a thousand people who came out in a downpour of pelting rain on East 42nd Street outside CUNY’s headquarters on Thursday afternoon to oppose the mainstreaming of evil — CUNY’s obscene invitation to a pro-terror Jew-hater to keynote their commencement address. It was an amazing event, a turning point, despite Mayor de Blasio’s nefarious attempts to undermine and destroy the rally.
Background: Linda Sarsour is a leader of the illegal and inhumane  Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Sarsour has publicly argued that Jews who support Israel can’t be feminists. She does not recognize Israel or its right to exist, and has made several tweets indicating she supports armed resistance to Israel. NY State Assemblyman Dov Hikind considers Sarsour’s views on Israel to be condoning terrorism, and he, along with a large number of mainstream Jews, believe Sarsour is strongly anti-Semitic.

“Linda Sarsour’s record of advocating for terrorists speaks for itself. If she had only called Arabs who hurl rocks at moving cars ‘the definition of courage,’ that would have been enough,” said Hikind. “But there’s so much more. Sarsour publicly called for violence against Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a feminist Muslim author who opposes violence. She recently shared a stage with and praised Rasmea Yousef Odeh, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine convicted by an Israeli court for her role in the murder of two students, Leon Kanner and Eddie Joffe, in a Jerusalem supermarket bombing.

Mayor De Blasio is a longtime supporter of jihad and Muslim supremacists, and most especially terror-supporter Linda Sarsour. Mayor De Blasio gifted Sarsour’s “organization” with more than $500,000. She was instrumental in getting de Blasio to partly dismantle the New York Police Department’s program of spying on the city’s Muslims, and has worked with officials in City Hall to close public schools for the observance of Muslim holy days, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. From her base at the Arab American Association of New York, the group whose focus is the sharia device, “Islamophobia,” Sarsour is working to do the same on immigration policy, voter registration, mass incarceration, Islamophobia and the Police Department’s stop-and-frisk tactic.
When Sarsour faked a “hate crime” against herself, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted a reminder that the City “will never condone such glaring acts of bigotry and intolerance.”

In fact, Sarsour’s attacker was Brian Boshell, a mentally ill homeless man well-known in the Bay Ridge area for public outbursts. As National Review reported at the time, Boshell, a regular presence in the neighborhood for more than two decades, had been arrested nearly 60 times before accosting Sarsour, and even Muslim residents of Bay Ridge expressed skepticism that she didn’t know who he was. (National Review)

De Blasio issued no mea culpa.
And of course, the Mayor’s office has refused to answer whether the de Blasio Administration exerted any pressure on CUNY to invite Sarsour as the keynote speaker.
All that being said, Mayor de Blasio went to extraordinary lengths to undermine our rally and silence our voices. New York City is no stranger to protests. Protest is a thriving tradition, and with the election of President Trump, is a weekly, sometimes daily, exercise for leftists. So, at this point, the NYPD has it down to a science. Protest organizers apply for a permit, and if there is to be a counter protest, their area is set up across the street, or catacorner to the main event. This is standard operating procedure. During our Ground Zero Mosque protests, the opposition was penned one block over. Every rally and demo is set up in this same way. Which is why what happened at our event was so very extraordinary.
The vicious, vocal and violent protesters were placed right next to the stage, not three feet away from the stage and our crowd. And they screamed, blew deafening whistles, and screamed abusive chants tweets (“Grab that pussy!,” to which I chanted back, “No clit cutting!”). There was no letup (which is why I am shouting the whole of the rally)  and at the end of the demo, the leftists attacked our people and were arrested.
That said, despite de Blasio’s attempt to undermine our rally, it didn’t work. It was huge. And the happy warriors took a stand.

In this photo, you can see how close the two pens were. As a rule, the opposition is always across the street. Always. I have been holding protests and going to them for almost twenty years.


The enemedia did not report on this at all. They drummed up the narrative that the event was violent, with the New York Daily News going so far as to say “WILD BRAWL” in their headline. That’s what de Blasio wanted. He wanted our people attacked and hurt. And the enemedia eagerly advanced the big lie. De Blasio must be defeated in the incoming mayoral election. Bo Dietl for Mayor.

Here is how one attendee described his experience at our rally:
“AFDI: Today’s protest on E. 42nd Street Protesters were given front row standing space to disrupt the speakers,” by Robin Ticker, May 25, 2017:

I wanted to be close to the Podium of this Protest against Linda Sarsour.
Oops. I maybe accidentally went to a Protesters section of the Protest..or very close by   Next to me were loud protesters yelling Shut the F— Up and other insults to the Speakers at the Podium behind their barricade.
I asked the police that they should move the protest to the protest so that we can hear the speakers. The policeman told me he couldn’t hear what I was saying.
These protesters who were screaming “Go Home Fascists” and “Shut the F- Up” had the best standing room of the entire protest.  Everyone else was further back.
I was told that the Police’s Legal team said that they couldn’t move the protesters.  Apparently it didn’t matter that they were drowning out the speakers. Legally they were protected!
Couldn’t they go across the street to where the Neturei Karta were protesting.  It was very annoying and extremely provocative having them right up front to the point that they were clearly disrupting and distracting the ones on the Podium from speaking. For whatever reason, the loudspeaker was not loud enough to hear the speakers clearly from where I was standing which was very close to the podium. People way in the back apparently did hear better. There was too much loud disruptive and obscene protesting drowning out the speakers from my position. This was their intention and they succeeded.  Ok I didn’t see them get actually physically violent but it was very stupid to allow them there. Verbally they were extremely abusive and physically potentially so.
>Why is it that unrestrained freedom to Protest is legally given only to those that disrupt those that Protest for Israel?  Pro Sarsour, anti Israel, anti America, anti AFDI, anti Trump  who are a scary bunch gets legal protection to stand in close proximity….
I suppose that if the Police would have moved them they would have caused a riot.  Clearly a security threat!.
No other explanation….The anti Sarsour protester were on the street itself. At least part of it.
Why in heaven’s name did the police give these Pro Sarsour space on the sidewalk in very close proximity to the podium? They also needed a large police force on the sidewalk to contain them? Couldn’t the Police tell the protesters of the protest that the sidewalk is only for pedestrians?
The police were busy rushing the pedestrians who were walking down the street.  They wanted to make sure that the sidewalk remained passable, as it was now one third of its normal space.
After all, there was plenty of room across the Street adjacent to Neturei Karta protest.
My conclusion:
They have no problem putting Neturei Karta protesters,  across the street far away. Neturei Karta are docile and respectful to the police. They don’t get violent. In fact, when Neturei Karta protesters were annoyed at a Jewish female wearing an IDF sweatshirt who was in their face they got the Police to protect them and she was almost arrested.That clearly shows that the Police can get really tough when needed especially when this women was holding an Israeli flag and and wearing an IDF sweatshirt and clearly provoking the Neturei Karta. I wonder if she was singing. That really would have been a provocation and could easily cause a confrontation.
PRO Sarsour  foul mouthed whistle blowers (they literally blow loud whistles to drown out the speaker)  are protected to do so, because according to the Police’s legal advice they weren’t doing anything wrong legally. We can’t disrupt their freedom of speech to protest the protest.
Get this.  The police allowed a bunch of very foul mouthed pro Sarsour, anti Islamaphobic, anti Trump, and anti America protesters,  right next to the podium and in very close proximity to  Pamela Geller. The Police knew fully well that Pamela Geller and her speakers would talk negatively of Mohammad and Sharia.
This protest could potentially have gotten violent.
But probably the police were afraid. My guess is that they were intimidated.  Look carefully at the signs of the counter protest.

The signs read

“Smash Racism and Islamaphobia”
workers.org
They also chanted “From the River to the Sea Palestine Will be Free”….
“No KKK no Fascist USA”
etc.
Now it make sense. The Police didn’t want to be accused of being Islamaphobic and in so doing engage in Police Terror according to this crowd of protesters.  Police were intimidated to openly say that  this group of seasoned police protesters actually might be a physical threat to Pamela Geller  and her team.
Surely, the incident at the AFDI Mohammad cartoon contest and recent terror attacks across the globe in Manchester etc.  should have been sufficient reason to place them across the street.
Policed didn’t even need any excuses as they commonly put protesters like Neturei Karta  across the street far away and keep the sidewalks free for pedestrians.
Another question to the Police Legal team is Isn’t disrupting Freedom of Speech to Protest also illegal?
Thank G-d this time there was no Physical confrontation. We wouldn’t want a repeat of  the violent confrontation in DC when Police tried to separate protesters and anti protesters..
Do you really want to wait for a physical confrontation to prove our point?.
Sadly, Linda Sarsour, an anti Semite, anti women and anti women’s rights, pro Sharia and a Liar gets to speak at CUNY Commencement with probably lots of protection for her freedom of speech and Pamela Geller and Noni Darwish etc have no physical protection to speak of nor the freedom and protection to protest without serious disruption all because the other side are bullies and are legally protected!

And another person’s account:

I think there was something more sinister going on. I was one of the first people there. In fact, I offered to help set up. If anyone remembers, I was the guy with the short sleeve purple polo/golf shirt with my law firm name and had a backpack. I only got to talk with David Wood and Marie for few mins and Gavin (I think Pam may know who I am and David and Marie know Scott from Boston, Gavin has my card). When the radicals first showed up, you could see that this vile degenerate loser, Heather Morris, was their leader. She was talking with two others who asking if her group was with CPUSA, she responded that they were affiliated( all radical group’s r affiliated whether they know it or not)If you looked out from the stage, I was at the very front row,at the farthest left. Nearly right in front of a speaker that was covered from the rain.I was right against the front rail and left side rail with the ululating ninnies in my right ear. Originally, the Marxists were directed down the street toward the back. I observed Morris talking on a cell phone along with another man. Soon thereafter, some other men arrived, including a short, fat bald guy, there was some discussion with a policeman in charge and the Marxist were moved up to where they were originally, directly next to me. I saw 2 of the Marxist men huddle with Morris and they were all giggly and smiles, including the short, fat, bald guy, who quickly wiped his grin off his face when he saw me glowering at him intently. I stared at them nearly the whole time. They were vulgar to everyone, especially Heather Morris, swearing at everyone who passed by, thrusting out her middle finger in peoples faces, trying to grab peoples American flags and signs. There was a short policeman, with red hair that was next to me the whole time. He was a nice guy and clearly disgusted by there antics. I asked him why the Marxists were allowed back at the front, blocking and harassing foot traffic, he said he didn’t know but someone higher up changed the cops, who were there, original call. I was the one who first made the immediate request to the officers to have them moved back, to clear pedestrian traffic, not disrupt speakers,and more practical in keeping the peace and safety of all. As it was the obvious, logical thing to do, the police did just that. I believe these Marxists have a direct line into someone at “Red-Bill’s”office or Red Bill himself.The cops there did not seem happy.I read Morris lies about her arrest, if she was any whiter, she’d be translucent. And Nobody that I saw, with our group had any sticks, all our flags, both USA and Israel, had no sticks…I helped hold up both flags.The only people carrying sticks were the hyenas with there Soros made signs. I didn’t know anyone from our group that I was standing with, but there was a brotherhood/sisterhood, a real bond we quickly formed with each other. Lots of hugs and high-five’s. We also looked out after each other because Ms. morris, et al, were clearly trying to provoke and we would calm our fellow patriots down when it seemed like it was getting heated. Nobody tried to calm the radicals down. Morris had to be warned a few times as she assaulted and technically battered several people walking past who were not even paying attention to her. It may be a good idea in the future, if we can get 2 of our good people who will volunteer to just video the antifa/Marxists the whole time. It really was a great event, kudos to Pam, amazing given the lousy weather.

  New York Times tries to burnish Linda Sarsour’s image after AFDI protest

Linda Sarsour is a pro-Sharia anti-Semite; that means the New York Times loves her.
Comments interspersed below.

“A Muslim-American Activist’s Speech Raises Ire Even Before It’s Delivered,” by Eli Rosenberg, New York Times, May 26, 2017:

Linda Sarsour, one of the most prominent Muslim-American activists in New York, says the messages have been arriving by the hour recently.
“Your time is coming.”
“A good Arab is a dead Arab.”
“You’re getting two bullets in your head.”

She “says” she has been receiving threats. This is news as far as the New York Times is concerned, although “journalist” Eli Rosenberg apparently doesn’t make any attempt to verify her claim. Meanwhile, Pamela Geller is the target of a fatwa from the Islamic State (ISIS). The Times, when it speaks about her, never leads with that information. Apparently, some death threats are just fine with the New York Times, if their targets are the Times’ ideological enemies.

Ms. Sarsour, one of the lead organizers of the Women’s March on Washington, has tackled issues like immigration policy, mass incarceration, stop-and-frisk and the New York Police Department’s spying operation on Muslims — all of which have largely inured her to hate-tinged criticism.

Note that everything the Times list shows her to be working actively to impede and obstruct counterterror efforts. The New York City of Sarsour’s dreams is supine and defenseless before the advancing jihad.

But it is the commencement address she is to deliver next week to about 100 students at the City University of New York School of Public Health that she says has drawn the most hostility and ire she has ever experienced.
“Linda Sarsour is a Sharia-loving, terrorist-embracing, Jew-hating, ticking time bomb of progressive horror,” the conservative media personality Milo Yiannopoulos said at a rally on Thursday outside CUNY’s main office, as protesters held signs with images associated with the often racist and anti-Semitic language used by what is known as the alt-right, a far-right, white nationalist movement.

Note that the Times makes no attempt to determine whether or not Milo’s charges are true (they are). It just quickly changes the subject to signs “with images associated with the often racist and anti-Semitic language used by what is known as the alt-right.” Associated by whom? Why, by the New York Times, of course. This paragraph is tantamount to saying, “Milo made some charges against Sarsour, but protesters were holding signs bearing images that we have previously smeared as racist.”

The controversy over Ms. Sarsour’s appearance is the latest dispute in a heated national dialogue over free speech on university campuses.
But in this instance, the roles have been reversed. Other protests have largely pitted left-wing students against conservative speakers like Mr. Yiannopoulos, Ann Coulter, Gavin McInnes and Charles Murray. This time, conservatives are leading the charge against Ms. Sarsour.

This is false. The controversy is not over her appearance at CUNY. We who are routinely barred from speaking on college campuses, or shouted down by fascists when we do, would never dream of saying she should not allowed to speak. In fact, I would be happy to go to CUNY at my own expense to debate her. The controversy is over whether she should be celebrated and lionized, given the honor of delivering the commencement address, in light of her numerous hateful, anti-Semitic, and pro-Sharia statements.

Her critics are a strange mix, including right-leaning Jews and Zionists, commentators like Pamela Geller, and some members of the alt-right.
They accuse her of sympathizing with terrorists, supporting Sharia law and anti-Semitism for statements she has made about politics in the Middle East.

And with good reason, although the Times never presents this evidence or bothers to debunk it.

The CUNY chancellor, James B. Milliken, has defended the appearance on the basis of free speech, and a group of CUNY professors, some prominent progressives and liberal Jewish groups have spoken in her support.

Free speech? Funny how universities seldom remember that principle when a conservative speaker comes around.

Fred Smith Jr., a constitutional scholar and assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, said the controversy was a reminder of the bipartisan nature of the outcry over free-speech issues.
“There are a few people who have been very effective in branding the left at shutting down free speech, but the moment they are confronted with leftist speech they don’t like, they are equally outraged and poised to suppress that speech,” he said. “I don’t think that’s the answer for either side. The more you try to suppress speech, the more the ideas of the suppressed speaker become salient to more people. It makes the person more well known and attracts more people to those ideas.”

Once again, this is off the point, and an apparently deliberate obfuscation. The controversy is not over whether or not she can speak. It is over whether or not she should be the commencement speaker.

The debate about Ms. Sarsour’s speech began last month with Dov Hikind, a conservative Democratic state assemblyman who represents a largely Orthodox community in Brooklyn. Mr. Hikind said Ms. Sarsour should not have been chosen, pointing to her recent appearance in Chicago with Rasmea Odeh, who was convicted in Israel of playing a role in the bombing of a supermarket that killed two civilians in 1969.
Mr. Hikind also pointed to a picture Ms. Sarsour once posted on Twitter of a Palestinian boy standing across from police officers with rocks in his hands. Ms. Sarsour wrote that the photo was “The definition of courage.”
Mr. Hikind said in a phone interview, “You can’t support a terrorist and then be the commencement speaker at a university that my taxes help pay for.”

Indeed. And there is no doubt that her speech will be a pep rally of anti-Israel, anti-American agitprop, with heavy helpings of self-righteousness and self-pity.

….Brad Lander, a Democratic city councilman from Brooklyn, described the accusations against Ms. Sarsour as “preposterous,” and pointed to her help in raising money to repair two Jewish cemeteries that were vandalized in St. Louis and Pennsylvania in February.
“She’s been in my synagogue,” he said. “She and my rabbi are friends. There’s no doubt that part of what this is is backlash against the idea of having a Palestinian-American as a visible leader and inheritor of the civil rights movement.”
He added, “One terrible feature of the Trump regime is that it threatens to tribalize all of us.”

The fact that she repaired these cemeteries does not negate her pro-Sharia or viciously anti-Israel statements. She even declared recently that feminists could not support Israel. Lander is taking an incident that was an obvious bid to wrongfoot her opponents as a reversal of her entire stance regarding Israel. It wasn’t.

At the protest, even Mr. Yiannopoulos briefly acknowledged Ms. Sarsour’s right to speak, before making a racially tinged joke about her getting paid in goats. He was more restrained in an emailed response to a question.
“Unlike some of the other speakers, I don’t want Sarsour canceled,” he wrote. “I want as many people as possible to hear her odious thoughts. That doesn’t mean I can’t explain why she is dangerous and wrong.”

Once again: the problem is that she is the commencement speaker. She should be canceled as the commencement speaker. And brought back to debate with Pamela Geller or some other defender of freedom.

Ms. Sarsour said she had nothing to apologize about for her views.
She said there were questions about the integrity of Ms. Odeh’s conviction many decades ago. The photo of the Palestinian boy was taken during a week when about 200 Palestinians had been killed, she said. And she said she had never planned to speak about Israel in the commencement address.

We’ll see about that. In any case, note how the Times gives Sarsour space to rebut the charges, and never bothers to check on her claims about Odeh’s conviction or the photo. The Times never offers this service to those who aren’t Leftists.

Ms. Sarsour said she believed she became a target for far-right conservatives in the days after the Women’s March, which she said was evidence of a larger “Islamophobia industry.”

The claim that there is a well-heeled “Islamophobia industry” churning out hateful material against Muslims is a staple of Leftist propaganda. Ironically, the organizations such as the Center for American Progress and others that have produced lavishly printed “Islamophobia” reports have budgets exponentially larger than those of the organizations they defame as “Islamophobic.” If there is any “industry” here, it is that of the truly well-heeled effort to defame and destroy those who oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression.

She has hired two private bodyguards to accompany her to public events. She says she regrets that she has not been able to shield her three children, all teenagers, from the vitriol and threats she has received online. Still, she said, she does not plan to be silent.
“I’m Muslim, I’m Palestinian, I’m a woman in a hijab,” she said. “I’m everything they stand against.”
She added, “I have a bigger mission here.”

In reality, she is a foe of counter terror efforts, a supporter of the jihad against Israel, and a woman who normalizes and legitimizes the Sharia oppression of women. Indeed, everything we stand against.
