Government Zero: No Borders, No Language, No Culture (28 page)

This is pure evil. Pure evil kills for a cartoon. The essence of free speech is being threatened by Muslims in the United States of America and the world trying to shut down any criticism of their Quran and Muhammad. I have read the Quran. It is quoted extensively in my novel
Countdown to Mecca
. In over one hundred places they called for killing the infidel. Why doesn’t the
New York Times
talk about the holy book itself? Why doesn’t the
New York Times
, which attacks the Catholic Church on a regular basis, look into the Quran and see the more than one hundred verses, or suras, that call Muslims to war with those they call nonbelievers?
Nonbelievers
means anyone who isn’t Muslim. Why doesn’t the
New York Times
look at Sura 5:51, which says that Muslims are not to take Jews and Christians for friends? Allah describes them as “unjust people.”

The answers are quite clear. We are living in a twisted world. Islam is at war with the West. We have a president who won’t say the word
Islamic
and a Soviet media who takes the side of Islamic murderers against Americans exercising their right to free speech. Liberty itself is under attack. These two would-be Islamic murderers were by no means alone. The FBI said they overlooked the Texas Muslim shooters’ violent tweets because there are so many like them. Think about what that means. Officials said there are so many like them that you have to prioritize your investigations.

That wasn’t entirely honest. Did you know they were tracking the shooter in Texas for eight to nine years? Why didn’t they stop him when he bought his AK-47? Why didn’t they stop him when he bought his bulletproof vest? Why did the FBI permit the jihadi to come to Texas and open fire with his automatic weapon?

Immediately after the thwarted attack, the Islamic State said they have at least seventy-one active Islamic State members in the United States trained to kill.
¹²
One has to wonder why the FBI isn’t actively pursuing these people. They may be on the FBI watch list, but the FBI is too busy watching Christians, returning war veterans, antiabortion activists, and constitutional conservatives. That time and money would be better utilized looking at radicalized Muslims. Why are they bothering with patriotic Americans instead? In plain English, it’s because Hussein is in the White House.

It should come as no surprise that the Muslim in chief didn’t back the defenders of free speech, either. He didn’t support or criticize Pamela Geller. He ignored the event entirely. This is the president who has never hesitated to weigh in on a shooting when it suits his demagogic agenda. When it allows him to further inflame racial division, he’s at the podium immediately. When he can use a tragedy to attack the Second Amendment, he’s as reliable as Old Faithful.

I remind you that none of the local school or police shootings are any of his business. They are not within the jurisdiction of the federal government. They are state issues. Obama’s statements after each one of them have been as unnecessary as they have been harmful.

However, when the shooters claim they are acting on behalf of an international organization with whom the United States is actively at war, attacking American citizens on American soil—that is precisely when he
should
get involved. Instead, the president flew to New York the night of the shootings to appear on David Letterman. When pressed, his press secretary, Josh “the new Goebbels” Earnest, said, “In the mind of the president there is no form of expression that would justify an act of violence.”
¹³

That’s great to hear. Why didn’t we hear it from the president firsthand? Why wasn’t he at his podium talking about taking executive action against Islamic sleeper cells, instead of disarming law-abiding Americans? Why wasn’t he saying “American lives matter”? Why is he suddenly silent when the shooters are Muslims and the victims are white?

To be fair, at least Josh Earnest affirmed that it is still permitted to criticize Islam, at least for now. When asked, “Is it time for individuals or groups or even publications to stop depicting the Prophet Muhammad in cartoons or any other types of drawings?” he replied,

By the way, whenever I hear the words “the Prophet Muhammad,” I’m a little disturbed. Why doesn’t anyone say “the Lord Jesus?” Why do they refer to Jesus merely by his first name, but to Muhammad as “the Prophet Muhammad?” Does that mean Muhammad is a prophet and Jesus isn’t the Lord?

I’m just trying to show you how language is used. In the new Progressive-Islamist America, Islam is constantly legitimized and Christianity is constantly ridiculed and scorned.

Incidentally, ISIS called Jewess Pamela Geller
khanzeer
, which means “pig.” I’m afraid to tell all of you good, liberal Jews who are wringing your hands that this is the essence of the whole problem. You have a pathologically willful blindness
to what is going on in the world. You have no idea what U.S. Muslim attitudes are toward Jews and Christians. You like to think that because they appear at interdenominational events they’re on your side. You ought to find out what they’re saying about Jews and Christians behind your backs.

This is the beginning of the battle. Geller may be repugnant. Geller may be obnoxious. Geller may be a provocateur, but she did the world a favor. She exposed the hatred that exists within Islam itself. She showed everyday Americans why they need to wake up and realize their own lives and liberty are threatened by these fanatics right here in the United States.

As I’ve said numerous times, if you look back into the Jewish Bible, the Old Testament, it’s filled with hate. It says to kill homosexuals, kill adulterers, and more. I’ve read Leviticus, including on the air. But modern Jews, even modern Orthodox Jews, don’t kill homosexuals and they don’t stone adulteresses. They know the difference between a five-thousand-year-old text and the real world, the civilized world built upon Judeo-Christian values, but which eschews those passages that obviously proceed from man’s barbaric past and not from the mind of God.

Christianity also used to put people to the sword for blaspheming Jesus. That was in the fifteenth century. But Christianity went through a reformation. Islam has not gone through a reformation. It needs to. Don’t take my word for it. We heard precisely this from one of the bravest women alive today, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Ali is a Somali-born former Muslim herself, who once believed in fatwas and supported the Muslim Brotherhood. She had a revelation after the 9/11 attacks, when Osama bin Laden used the Quran to justify them. She renounced Islam and became an activist against its many outdated, barbaric tenets. Her life has been regularly threatened by the throwbacks ever since.

Earlier this year, she wrote an op-ed in the
Wall Street Journal
in advance of her new book,
Heretic
, in which she said a lot of the same things I’ve been saying for years. The problem isn’t just with “radical Islamists.” It is an inherent part of the religion itself, as understood even by peaceful Muslims today. In her own words, “the call to violence and the justification for it are explicitly stated in the sacred texts of Islam.” She goes on to say,

This is why the majority of armed conflicts around the world involve Muslims at war with their neighbors. As I said before, it’s not just with Israel. Muslims are fighting non-Muslims or each other in dozens of countries. Ali quotes the late political scientist Samuel Huntington, who said in 1996, “Islam’s borders are bloody and so are its innards.”

How did the media react to Hirsi’s brave statement, made under death threats from the maniacs beheading people all over the world? Did they commend her for her bravery and thank her for defending freedom and tolerance? Of course not. They made excuses for the maniacs and mercilessly attacked this heroic champion of freedom.

Time
magazine called her proposals “a tone-deaf declaration rather than an opening of a conversation.”
¹⁶
Its reviewer Carla
Power says Hirsi “doesn’t get” Islam. Can you believe the nerve of this Ivy League white liberal? She has a degree in Middle Eastern studies from an American ivory tower, so she thinks she knows more about Islam than a woman who grew up a Somali Muslim and was the victim of female genital mutilation at age five.

Massachusetts-born Haroon Moghul was quick to jump on the bandwagon, saying Hirsi is “in over her head” when talking about Islam and calling
Heretic
“one of the worst books, period.”
¹⁷
He said Islam has already had a reformation. Really? We ought to air-drop him into Iraq and let him experience the reformation himself. He’s another ivory tower liberal with a degree from the same universities teaching global warming and rape culture.

Of course, the media assault on Hirsi wouldn’t have been complete without court jester Jon Stewart wading in. He had Hirsi on his show for an interview,
¹⁸
which was really about discrediting her arguments almost from the moment she sat down. Of course, he took the opportunity to remind everyone how terrible Judaism and Christianity are and how violence was committed in the names of those religions seven hundred years ago.

That’s the point, Jon. It was seven hundred years ago. Nobody disputes that. Show us the Christians burning people alive today. Show us the Jews beheading people for drawing cartoons.

Instead of attacking Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Pamela Geller for exposing the true nature of the “religion of peace,” the media should be investigating what animates the morons at the lowest level of what some call a political movement disguised as a religion. But they’re not interested in that. The leftist media is interested in tearing down the Judeo-Christian foundation of American society and replacing it with atheist progressivism. If they have to turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed in
the name of Islam and smear defenders of free speech to do so, they’re willing to do just that. It’s an all-out propaganda attack on our basic freedoms, starting with the first, most important freedom: freedom of speech.

They are aiders and abettors to radical Islam, who are using a Trojan Horse approach to get into this country and try to tell us how to live. Today they object to cartoons, tomorrow it’s pork on the menu. After pork on the menu, it’s other graven images they don’t like. After that, they’ll take down the crosses off churches, because they find them offensive. They’ve already accomplished similar coups in places in Michigan. They’ve stopped church bells from ringing.

We found out just how biased the media really is when the Clinton Cash scandal broke earlier this year. Virtually every national media organization one could name has made sizable contributions to the Clinton Slush Fund, which poses as a charitable organization.
¹⁹
Many of these contributions were in the millions of dollars. Does anyone seriously believe media outlets forking over this kind of cash to the Clintons are reporting the news objectively?

Politico
was kind enough to publish a list of the media outlets who contributed, broken down by the size of the contribution. I’ve included it here:
